I Dont Own Anything. Forgot to Mention that in the first chapter. Enjoy

I glanced out the window as everyone left. 'Boy, this will make for an interesting conversation.' I thought. I peered out of my peripheral at James. He wasn't even looking in my direction. He looked as if in thought, probably wondering how to start the conversation.

I turned to him and quietly asked, "Are you enjoying your ride?" He just stared at me.

"Uh, yea. Although I'm angry." He started.

"About?" I was curious, and he was the only one to talk to now. Had to make conversation somehow.

"This great girl got dissed by this loser." My head shot up.

"Everyone knows about it?" I felt the tears swell into my eyes once again.

He shrugged. "Only the people who saw him up and leave. A few actually heard what he said. That is completely harsh and totally unnecessary."

"Yea." I said sadly. He looked over to me again, his eyes burning with anger.

"Someone should teach him a lesson." he laughed. "At least make him know how it feels." I looked at him confused. "You know, avenge you?" he sighed. "Okay. I think someone should show him, or tell him how it feels to be dumped on. Because, its pretty lame. I would know."

I knew where he was going and I felt completely guilty of treating James the same way Severus had treated me. I put my still shaky hand on James' arm. "I'm sorry."

"What ever for?" he was simply dumbfounded from my actions.

"For treating you harsh. I shouldn't have. You really are a great guy underneath all the popularity…I mean you're so confident its hard to like a person who likes themselves that much."

"Wait, you think I'm confident?" he chuckled. I nodded. "Well, it was only to show you I wasn't some love sick puppy…" he trailed off.

"Half the reason why I thought you were pig was because you always seemed to be the problem when I was at fault." I sniffed. "I've realized now that you were only trying to be someone you're not."

He shrugged. "It's in a guys nature to act like he's this robot without emotions."

"You should try to act like yourself, more people will see you clearly and they will like you better…" I looked him in the eye.

"Or maybe they wont. But you want to know a secret?" I nodded. "It's complete rubbish but, I like this girl and she doesn't even know it."

I was suddenly interested. "Whose the girl?" Although I could pretty much tell it was me. I wanted to change the relationship I had with him because of the way I had treated him. I gave him a sly smile.

"Like you don't know." He said, gently nudging me.

I started getting goose bumps. The train was heated but, as I sat next to the window, a cool bit of air came through a tiny hole. James saw this and gave me his cloak. As it graced my shoulders, it was warm. I could tell it was from his body heat but, it was wool too.

I couldn't put my finger on it but, in this light and my recent discovery of who my true friends are, James was the most sincere, knowledgeable, handsome guy I knew. I wondered how I got so caught up in my mind to overlook this.

I continued to stare up at him. His brown hair and blue eyes were irresistible. I couldn't stop myself. And of course, he had thought this was the most profound event of the year. I was falling for this guy who, at first, was the most annoying person I knew. Now, after expressing myself in ways that I hadn't expected, I was sitting in a compartment alone with him.

The train was smoothly riding along the tracks as I got up to use the loo. Whilst there, I contemplated my sudden feelings for James. I had just been 'dumped' by my best friend. And James was there to help me. Was I using him?

'Ugh.' I thought, 'This is going to be impossible to figure out here.'

I got out and walked back to where I had left James. I opened the door swiftly, trying not to make a noise. James looked as though he was in deep thought, again. 'I wonder what it is this time,' I thought.

"Oi, Lily." He said, softly.

I smiled. I didn't know what to say. His voice left me speechless. My face flushed.

"Are you alright?" He asked, sympathetically. I nodded.

"Just a bit flustered, that's all." Ok, so what is up with me being so forward all of a sudden? Weird.

"How so?" I sat down next to him. I was still wearing his coat so I couldn't tell him I was cold. And if I told him I was warm, he would just suggest I take off his cloak. I certainly didn't want either one to happen. I was content where I was.

I shied away. I turned towards the window, dreading what to say, and what he would say. I felt a hand on my fore arm.

"Lily? You can tell me." I looked over to him once again, memorized.

I shook my head, afraid I might not have the nerve to tell him. I took a deep breath and figured it was now or never. The train would be stopping in a short while and right now was the only time I would have alone with him until all of his friends showed up. And we would be gone for break.

"I've made a realization about you." I said, calmly. "You aren't as you seem from a distance. And I personally care to have you in my life."

As intelligent as that was, the look on his face made it known that I had told him I liked him. I really liked him. It was a spur of the moment thing but, considering recent events, he's the one who is closest to me now.

He subtly put his arm around my shoulder, stating that he didn't want me to get hypothermia. And my remarks to this was, "It's fine. I'm nice and comfortable."

The rest of the train ride, we talked about each others families. James mother had died recently and his father was getting up there in age. I knew I would be lost without my parents. But, when I told him of my family, I rarely spoke of my sister, Petunia. She was a rather lanky girl, who hated that I had a knack for witchcraft and she didn't.

James told me that I was lucky to have Muggle parents and still have them be as supportive as can be.

By the end of the ride, I was curled up beside James. My head rested on his chest and were breathing in sync. Everything was perfect. I lifted my head to look into his eyes. I leaned in. Our lips only centimeters from each others. The last whistle came too quickly as it went off and all I could hear were the footsteps like a herd of elephants. Everybody was too eager to get off the train.

Sirius, Remus, and Peter knocked on the window of our compartment while James and I just stared at each other.

"Let's go, lover boy." Sirius said, winking at me. When James didn't move after a while, Sirius came up behind him and physically yanked him with them. I waved. I knew I would be seeing him sooner than he thought. We did after all have to get our luggage together.

Ooo. ever fall for a guy so fast? I know i have. :) Review Please.
