Authors Note: This is my second fanfiction. I hope you all like it. It's currently in progress. Second chapter coming very soon! It's also the very first time I have published the story without the assistance of my best friend! : ) Please review!

Lily stared, sadly, at her reflection in the mirror. Tears were streaking down her now pale face. Lily's friend Grace strolled over to her and sat down on her bed. Grace was still dressed in her Gryffindor robes.

"Lily," Grace said quietly. Lily shook her head.

"Lily, please, just listen to me," said Grace. Lily turned and faced Grace.

"I know you're upset but you have to trust him. Trust that he'll never do it again. Trust that he truly does love you and care about you" Grace said, staring seriously at Lily.

"But..." Lily started. "No buts! You have to talk to him. You can't keep going like this. I hate seeing you so unhappy" Grace interrupted. Lily wiped away her tears and sat down next to Grace.

"Lily, you can't let him go. You're gorgeous and smart and funny, everything a guy like him could want. Just please talk to him!' Grace finished. Lily nodded and stared out the window. It was getting darker now. The stars were starting to shine and the moon shimmered like a giant disco ball, reflecting in the black lake.

Grace patted Lily on the shoulder and walked over to her own warm bed. Lily wondered whether he really did love her ever. She'd just have to wait and see.

James was sitting alone in the boys dormitory, thinking. What an idiot he had been. How stupid it was to say to someone that Lily was boring and he didn't love her as much as he thought. But she was just bossy and grumpy all the time.

He'd have to talk to her. Tomorrow even, after classes before dinner perhaps; then they could sit together at dinner and talk normally again.

James sighed and stared out the window, toward the sky. The stars twinkled brighter than ever. James couldn't get Lily off his mind. She was just so gorgeous and funny and smart.

He finally agreed with himself that he did love her truly. But maybe if she stopped spending so much time with Snivellus, he'd perhaps love her a bit more.

If he just mentioned this to Lily, hopefully she'd understand. James stopped looking out the window and changed into his pyjamas before pulling the hangings closed on his four poster bed.

The next morning arrived in frost and rain. Lily woke up to find a letter placed on the end of her bed. She sat up, thinking. Normally the post arrived by Owl in the mornings. Lily reached for the letter and slit the back open. She pulled out a small piece of Parchment with, she realised, James's writing.

Dear Lily Evans,

I know how stupid I was yesterday. I admit it was wrong. So I wanted to know whether you could meet me in the common room before dinner tonight so we can talk. I want to explain some things and I need to explain some things to me as well. I'm hoping you will come. Love James Potter.

Lily stared blankly at the piece of parchment.

James wanted to talk now did he? Well at least he admitted to being stupid; unless that was just something he said to get her to go.

Lily didn't know what to do. She thought if she did go then they might be all right again, but if she didn't go then they wouldn't be. If she did go, what kinds of things will James say? If she didn't, again what would James say to her later?

She spent a half hour thinking about it. Finally she came to the conclusion that she would go. She would see what he wanted and why. Lily turned the paper over and scrawled quickly:

Dear James,

Fine. I'll meet you. But if you do one wrong thing during our talk...

Love Lily (I hope its love)

Lily folded the letter and walked downstairs to the crowded common room. Lily found James sitting alone by the fire trying hard to complete his Transfiguration homework. She walked over and without making a sound, dropped the letter on his book from behind. She quickly walked back up to the dormitory before he noticed.

James suddenly looked up. Where did she go? He unfolded the note and read Lily's reply: Fine...If you do one wrong thing... Yikes. He'd have to be careful about what he said. James read the lat bit: Love Lily (I hope its love). Oh it is, James thought smiling. He returned to his Transfiguration homework. It was fairly tricky, most of it. Like question 5. Q5. What is the specific wand movement when transfiguring a stick to a perfect quill? Uh oh, James thought, there's a tricky one.

"Still going with that Prongs?" came a very familiar voice. James looked up again and saw his one of his best friends, Sirius Black, sitting down opposite him.

"Yeah, it's trickier than I thought," James replied.

"Don't worry," Sirius said. "Which question? Ah, number 5. Moony knows that one. Oi! Moony, get over here!" Sirius called over his shoulder, to another one of James' friends Remus Lupin. Remus wandered over and sat down with the two boys.

"What's up, Padfoot?" Remus asked.

"Give us the answer to number 5," Sirius said showing Remus the Transfiguration work.

"Can't guys. Here," Remus said, showing them a battered old book. "Transfiguration with Style by Bronswick Jones. Give you all the answers you need"

"Thanks Moony," James said accepting the book.

After another hours work, James finally finished his work.

"Lucky it's Saturday otherwise Professor McGonagall would have killed me" James said.

Sirius laughed and leaned back in his chair.

"So what's up with you and Evans?" Sirius asked, casually.

"I dunno. I'm meeting Lily tonight before dinner. We are going to just talk and work it all out" James said, sighing.

James wondered what Lily was doing now. Whenever he was bored his mind just wandered off towards her. That's truly how much he did love her. Hopefully, everything would be all right after tonight.
