A/N: okay so I know it's been like years and I only ever posted one chapter of this story, but I have been inspired to write more of this story thanks to all of your lovely reviews!! So here it is! Enjoy! And remember to REVIEW! :D

OH! And cookies to anyone who can tell me where the title of this chapter is from... teehee. I know there could possibly be a better title for the chapter, but, well, I just HAD to. And if you know what it's from you'll understand why.

Chapter Two: Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts

(James' POV)

I was extremely excited after I sent the charmed notebook to Lily. Sirius and I had decided that we should ask Remus to send the notebook, and thankfully, Mooney had agreed to do it. We just didn't tell him the whole story about what the notebook really was. Otherwise he would have never said yes.

I anxiously waited for words to appear in the notebook that I had kept. I didn't know when she would decide to start writing, or if she even would write at all. But I carried my notebook with me everywhere, checking it every few minutes or so. And finally something appeared.

Deary Diary,

Well, I'm extremely happy right now because guess what? I'M HEAD GIRL! Haha sorry for the random outburst, I'm just rather excited. And believe it or not it would be possible for me to be even more excited had it not been for one, tiny little fact... James Potter is going to be Head Boy. Can you say stupid? Seriously, what had Dumbledore been thinking?

But, I'm not going to let that moron ruin my year! I'm so excited to get back to Hogwarts and start my seventh and final year! It's going to be amazing. I can tell already. I just have a feeling. Even with having to deal with Potter, and probably having to do everything by myself (because we all know he's not going to do anything) it'll be awesome!

Well, I don't have much else to say for now, I just felt like I needed to write something to get started. I'm actually really glad that Remus gave me this diary, it was so nice of him... to bad he's friends with Potter... oh well. Bye bye for now!

-Lily.

Sirius had seen that I was reading the notebook, so he asked, "What'd she say?"

"Well... she mentioned me, quite a bit, actually. But don't get excited, it was nothing nice..." I handed him the notebook so that he could read it. I felt like crap at that point.

Sirius said, "See, the fact that she's even talking about you means that she thinks about you at all, which is a start. And now, you can just stop doing all the things that she says she hats about you, to make her realize you're really not a bad guy at all." I could hardly believe that Sirius was somehow making everything Lily had said into something positive. "For example, she says that she's going to end up doing all the work as Head Girl because you won't do anything. Now you know that one of the things you need to do is help her out, be a great Head Boy, just surprise her by being a good guy."

I still wasn't entirely convinced, but Sirius did have some good points. "Yeah, I guess you're right, man. I'll try. I guess we'll just see what happens..." I sighed and said, "Man, I gotta get back to Hogwarts. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want to go back to school. Even with having to be responsible and all that, I think it'll be worth it just to see Lily and make her fall madly in love with me..."

Sirius and I looked at each other for a moment before laughing out loud. "Maybe you should just worry about getting her to refer to you as something other than 'Potter' first. You know, baby steps." Sirius said between fits of laughter.

"Too true..." I muttered. I knew he was joking around, but in my head I wasn't. This was serious. This wasn't just some crush anymore. I loved Lily Evans, and I would try my hardest to make her feel the same way about me.

(Lily's POV)

I had just made my first entry to my new diary. And I was feeling great. My best friend, Mary-Kate, was coming to hang out today. We were both going to be seventh years at Hogwarts, and both Gryffindors. But that's really the only ways in which we were alike. I mean, sure she was smart, and did well in school, but she was boy crazy, and was a real joker at times. Besides that, she had short, dark brown hair, and blue eyes. So we looked nothing alike, and acted nothing alike, but somehow we were best friend.

When I opened the door and saw her standing there, I shrieked. It had been way too long since I'd last seen her, and I had missed her a lot. "Mary-Kate!"

"LILY!!!!!" She screamed even louder than I had, and she tackled me in a hug. Needless to say she is also a lot more energetic than I am.

After our little greeting, we went up to my room. "God, Lily, my summer has been horrible. I mean how can one go so long without seeing their best friend? It was torture."

I laughed and said, "Believe me I know."

She looked around my room for a moment and a few things caught her eye. "Ah you got Head Girl, I see. Well, no surprise there. But congrats! I know you really wanted it."

"Thanks!" I said, grinning like crazy.

"And what's this, Lily darling" A diary? Oh I wonder what little Lily has been writing... probably her deepest, darkest, secrets." She smirked at me, and tried to open it.

But good old Remus and his charms. The book said, "Password?"

Mary-Kate looked at me skeptically and said, "It's that secretive?"

I rolled my eyes. "No, not really. Remus did that one. It was a gift to me from him. A sort of congratulations for getting Head Girl."

Mary-Kate nodded, "So he's Head Boy, no doubt."

I shook my head. "Nope, James Potter is. Can you believe it? Dumbledore must be insane."

"James is Head Boy? Well, well, well..." She lifted an eyebrow suggestively.

"Oh, come on, Mary-Kate, you know I can't stand him."

"Yes, but he's madly in love with you." She pointed out.

I rolled my eyes again. "No, not really. He just has this weird need to prove I'll go out with him, or something."

"And you're so sure about that?" She said, making it obvious that she thought otherwise.

I nodded, firmly. "Yes."

"Alright then..." She muttered. Then she looked back at the notebook still in her hands. "So if this isn't private, may I read it?"

"I guess. I mean I only just wrote one entry right now. But sure." I grabbed the book out of her hands, and said the password. "I Hate James Potter."

Mary-Kate stared at me in disbelief. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing... nothing..." she said, but she was smirking. Mary-Kate with a smirk on her face can only mean bad things.

I opened the notebook up to the first passage, and handed it to my best friend. She took a minute to read it, all the while her smirk growing in confidence.

When she was done she closed the notebook and handed it back to me, at this point full on grinning. "Oh, what is it now?" I finally asked.

"Nothing... I just didn't realize you were in love with James Potter." She said.

My mouth fell open in shock. "WHAT?" I nearly screamed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, you're in denial about being in love with James Potter. My mistake, I apologize." She said, completely serious.

"A-are... are you serious?!" I managed to get out. "James Potter? The boy I've shown nothing but animosity towards for however many years now? No way. I don't even LIKE him."

"Like I said; denial." Mary-Kate said.

"Where the HELL did you get that idea from?" I asked, annoyed.

"Well, first of all, he likes you, which to any girl is flattering no matter who the guy is, but especially if he's as good looking as James is. Plus, you made your password have to do with him, and you mentioned him like three times in this short little entry. Face it, you love the guy."

"You are crazy. Sure I mentioned him, but I did not say one nice word about him." I said trying to defend myself. Because she was totally wrong.

"Which brings me to the denial part." She said.

"Even if I was in love with him, which I'm not saying I am, but if I was than why would I be in denial about it?" I asked.

"Because," she started, "You're scared to love him because you have this idea in your head that he's a horrible person. And sure, he can be annoying and immature, and whatnot, but he isn't all bad. So you love him but you won't admit it, not even to yourself, because you don't want to go falling for someone like him."

I shook my head. "This is crazy, we are not discussing this any more, okay?"

Mary-Kate looked like she was going to say something else, but she stopped herself. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll drop it."

We continued to hang out and just talk about everything. Well, everything except for Potter, which I'm glad she dropped. She was just insane. Wow people do seem to be going insane when it comes to Potter; first Dumbledore for making him Head Boy, and now Mary-Kate talking about all this nonsense.

When she left, I was still thinking about what she had said. But why was I thinking about it? I knew she was wrong, but I couldn't get her words out of my head. I decided I needed to clear my thoughts so I pulled out my new diary.

Dear Diary,

Well, today was... interesting. Mary-Kate came over. And she immediately started going off and saying some crazy things. I can't believe I'm even thinking about this, but, well... she said I was in love with James Potter!

I know, crazy, right? But she just kept going on and on, and I don't know it just got me thinking. Well, lets see. As far as all of the things I hate about him goes, he's arrogant, immature and just plain annoying. I mean, for the past like 6 years all he's ever done is ask me out every five seconds. And like I explained to Mary-Kate, this does NOT mean he's in love with me, it just means that he has this weird desire to prove to himself and his friends that he can get me to go out with him. That is NOT love.

But then again, I guess there are some good qualities in him. He's smart, funny at times (as much as I hate to admit it) and let's just face it, he's definitely one of the better looking guys in Hogwarts. Hell, he's hot even. But that's no reason to like someone. There's got to be more than looks there to give me a reason to like a guy. I guess if Potter could show some responsibility, and stop asking me out every five seconds, maybe being in his presence wouldn't be a totally bad thing.

Oh, why am I even THINKING about this, it's not like he'd ever mature. Or that I should even care whether he does or not. It shouldn't matter. No, it DOESN'T matter. I'm done discussing this for now. Or forever. Whatever.

-Lily.

A/N: Yay I finished! I realized as I was writing this that I've really changed as far as my writing goes since I posted the first chapter of this story. Oh well, I just hope you all still like it. Well remember please review! I'd really appreciate it!
