Sirius and James looked at Lily Evans. They both loved her, but wasnt sure which one she loved.Sirius, the more forward of the two, had asked Lily out and was still awaiting her answer.

One day, Lily was sitting in the library by herself. Everyone else was at a quidditch game. He walked over to her. "Hi Lily." He said, smiling at her. "Hello Sirius." She said looking up from her book. He sat down on the table. "Whats up?" He asked. "Oh, nothing really." She answered.He nodded and looked around the library. Then, feeling very confident he jumped up on the table. Lily looked up at him. "What are you doing?" She asked. Sirius didnt answer. He pointed at her and smiled. "Lily, this ones for you." He said. From no where, several girls came and sat down around the table. Sirius took a deep breath then started singing. "Its tearing up my heart when Im with you. And when we are apart I feel it too. And no matter what I do I feel the paaaaiiiin..." He paused, trying to remember the next line. Lily was blushing deep red. He put his hand down. "Dance with me." He suggested. Lily looked at his hand. "I...I dont..." He pulled her up onto the table anyways. She looked around nervously, then Sirius poked her in the arm. She smiled at him and started dancing with him. James walked past the library and heard applause. He stopped and looked inside and saw Sirius standing on a table. He took a step inside, and saw Lily standing next to him, holding his hand.James cringed, listening to Lily laughing...with Sirius.He turned away. "Hey James!" Lily yelled, waving. James turned and waved weakly.

A week later, Sirius and Lily started going out. One night, James was sitting in the common room, working on some homework. He glanced around the common room and felt sick. Sirius and Lily were sitting on a couch in a corner snogging. He glared at them. "Why dont you two get a room?" He yelled. They jumped and broke apart. Lily was deep red and Sirius glared at James. "Cause we were here first!" He yelled back. "I dont need to know that." James said, scowling. "Chill out James." Lily said.James looked at her. "Fine I'll leave. You two can go back to snogging now." James said bitterly, then went to his dorms. Lily blinked. "Whats his deal?"She asked. Sirius shrugged and kissed her again.

The next morning, when James came out of the kitchen, Sirius and Lily were asleep on the couch. He shook his head and walked past.

About ten minutes after James started eating breakfast, Sirius and Lily walked in. Lily was laughing and Sirius was telling her something. James bit his lip and looked away. The two sat down across from James, who started thinking up a reason to leave.Lily was still laughing, but not as loud. "Yo James." Sirius said, putting some bacon on his plate. "Hello."James grumbled. Lily was already eating. She finished her goblet of orange juice and waited for it to refill, stuffing some toast into her mouth. "Hungry are you?" Sirius asked. Lily laughed, choking on her food. Sirius patted her back and she took a drink. "In answer to your question: yes. And DONT MAKE ME LAUGH WHILE IM EATING!" Lily said, a little louder than she meant. Sirius hugged her. "Im sorry."He said, giving her a puppy-dog face. Lily smiled. "Thats ok."She said, kissing him on the cheek. James stood up and left quickly.

Later that day, Sirius walked into the GCR and sat down next to James. "Yo."He said. "Hi."James looked around."Wheres your tag along?" He asked. "Who?" "Lily."James said, flinching slightly. Sirius smiled. "In the library studying." Sirius answered simply. James looked down at his book.

Meanwile in the library, Lily was working on an essay for Potions. A hufflepuff girl walked up to her. "So...Evans...your Sirius' flavor of the week?" She asked. Lily ignored her. The girl snatched her report away. "HEY!" Lily yelled. The librarian glared at her. "Listen to someone when they talk to you." The hufflepuff hissed. Lily glared at her and left the library, snatching her report back. Lily pushed the door open and was tackled. She screamed and hit the floor on her knees. Sirius had his arms around her shoulders. She laughed. He hugged her, keeping his arms around her shoulders. WHen he finally let her go, they both stood up and Sirius kissed Lily. James watched all of this,arms folded, leaning against the door to the Boys Dorms. When Sirius and Lily finally broke apart, Sirius slid his arm around her waist and they walked over to two corner chairs and sat down. James walked into the Boys Dorms.James lay on his bed, thinking about Lily. How would he ever tell her how he felt? What did she see in Sirius? Was it how he was a rebel?No, Lily didnt like rebels. He rolled over and closed his eyes. He heard crashing from the common room and ran out of the dorms. Sirius had a prefect by the collar, pushed against a wall. Lily was yelling at him to put him down. James raised an eyebrow. "Sirius! Put him down!" Lily screamed, pulling Sirius's arm. James smiled. "Yo Paddy...lay off the prefect."James said walking over. Sirius was breathing hard and looked at James. "Fine." He growled and dropped the prefect. "Sirius, you dont have to do that everytime a prefect tells me that Im slacking off."Lily said, giggling. "Nobody insults my girl and gets away with it."Sirius said, putting his arm on her shoulder. Lily smiled. James flinched, and turned to walk away. As he was leaving he heard Sirius and Lily chatting."So we still on for Saturday at Hogsmede?"Sirius asked. "Yes."Lily answered. James felt jealousy surge through his body. He clentched his fists.'Well, your too late, Sirius got her first.' He thought, then decided right there to stop worrying about her.

That night, James shot awake. He shook his head. "Now its getting out of hand."He said, rubbing his forehead. James dream- Lily stood on the Astrology tower in long white dress robes. James stepped into the moonlight and looked at the back of her head.She turned and smiled at him. He continued towards her, and kissed her forehead. "Harry...hes ok. Dumbledor wrote me."She said. James was confused. Who was Harry?

James sighed and decided he couldnt sleep, so he grabbed his invisability cloak. He made sure he was covered, and walked out of the dorms. As he walked across the common room he heard something and looked around. A large figure was on the couch. He walked forward and squinted. His eyes widened. Lily was sitting on Sirius' lap crying into his shoulder. "Shhhh...its ok."Sirius wispered once in a while. James frowned. Lily's muffled sobs seemed to echo in his mind. "Its my fault....its all my fault."Lily said,followed by a sob. "No its not."Sirius said. James was confused. This was not the Sirius or the Lily that he knew. He turned and ran out of the common room. "They were killed because of what I am."Lily said, after James had left.Neither of them knew that James had heard them. "Now thats not true."Sirius said, turning her face to his. Even in the dark, he could still see her eyes.

James snuck back into the common room about twenty minutes later and saw Sirius standing up. He had Lily in his arms, she was asleep.James pulled the cloak off and pretended like he had just come in. "Sirius, what are you doing awake?"He asked. "I could ask you the same."Sirius responded, turning to him. James' eyes flicked to Lily, then back to Sirius, who noticed this. "Dont ask. Its none of your buisness."He said, turning to carry Lily up to her dormitory. "You won."James said. Sirius turned around. "You think this is a game? That Lily is a prize to be won? Well James Potter, you are wrong. Its not a game and Lily is not a prize."He snapped, then continued up to the Girls Dorms.

The next morning, Lily didnt talk to anyone except Sirius. The two were pretty much unseperable. James ended up being partners with Remus for Potions, which didnt go very well.

Sirius and Lily, Remus and James and Severus and Lucius were working on their potions, when Snape knocked into Lily when she was cutting something and Lily got the measurement off. Sirius glared at Severus, who backed away, laughing. Lily started over, with new ingredients. After Potions is where it got bad. As Lily was leaving with Sirius, Severus shut the door in her face. Sirius pushed the door open and walked up to Severus. "Well, hello Irish git." Severus said, smirking. Sirius punched him in the face. Severus covered his nose with his hands. Lily put a hand on Sirius' shoulder. "DONT YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!"Sirius barked. "Do what?" Severus asked. Sirius took Lilys hand and pulled her down the hall.

"Sirius, whats wrong?" She asked. Sirius continued storming down the hall, pulling Lily behind him."Sirius..."She stopped. He turned to her. "If he ever does that a-" "Does what?"Lily put a hand on his cheek. "Nevermind."He said, kissing her forehead.Severus ran up to them. "Your gonna pay for that Black."He hissed. "Sure I am."Sirius snapped. Lily pulled out her wand and fixed Snapes' nose. Sirius and Lily then walked away.
