Disclaimer:I dont own Harry Potter. (sniff, sniff) However, J., if you're reding this, my birthday is February 4th! (Hint, hint)

Hello! That's right, I'm back with another chapter! I've decided I'm going to try and update every weekend. Does that sound fair? This way I can write the chapter in various Maths/Spanish/Geography lessons, then type it up at the weekend and post it. Check me out, i actually planned something! Anyway, I would hate to keep you in any more suspense, so without further ado...

It said:

Lily

Lola read it aloud and then looked up at Sky, who shrugged.

"That's all it says," said Sky.

"What are you talking about?" Said Lily, leaning over to look at it, "But…but, I just saw it! It didn't just say Lily! I read it!"

Lola looked thoughtful. "You know," she said, "there are spells that can make things disappear."

"No duh," said Sky mockingly.

"I don't understand!" said Lily, "it was this note, it said-" but she was cut off by the sound of the portrait hole opening. 'Crap' she mouthed at the other two girls. That note was obviously not meant for her to see, and it was written by James potter, who was the only other one who had the password. As his footsteps approached their corner, Sky grabbed the note and sat on it.

"Hi," said James, giving the three suspicious looking girls an odd look, before disappearing up to his dorm. The moment he was gone, they burst out laughing, and by the time they had calmed down the note had been pushed out of all their minds.

"Ok" said Lily, "shall we call it a night?"

They nodded, and the rest of the night was spent trying to throw Bertie-botts-every-flavour-beans into each other's mouths (they weren't very successful).

The next day they had transfiguration first. Lola and Sky sat together, and Lily sat at the desk behind them. This gave her a lot of time to think.

Today she was thinking about James Potter.

She used to hate him. Now she wasn't so sure. At the end of last year it had first hit her that maybe he wasn't as bad as she made him out to be. Just because he was a jerk at 11, doesn't mean he was still one at 17.

And lately, he had been nice to her. Normally he bombarded her with owls in the summer asking her out, over and over and over. This summer he had sent a few letters, questioning how she was, telling her tales of his summer that made her laugh out loud. And he hadn't asked her out since before Christmas.

She knew he hadn't lost interest in her, if anything he liked her more than ever, but she was beginning to think he may have taken her advice and grown up.

And that note…

Plus, it didn't hurt that he was absolutely gorgeous.

'Wait!' Lily thought, 'I did NOT just call James Potter gorgeous!'

She turned to look at him.

Maybe he was cute. The messy hair, the lop-sided grin that had won so many hearts, the captivating hazel pools that were his eyes. OK, who was she kidding; he was the most gorgeous person to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts.

She shook it off, and decided to ask the girls at break.

At first break Lily, Lola and Sky were just around the corner from the courtyard, where nobody could see them. Lily was facing the other two, lounging with her legs crossed eating an apple, whilst Sky was sat leaning against the same wall that Lola was doing a handstand against. Lola's baggy cotton trousers were slowly inching their way further down her thighs, and revealed were the blue trainers that they were supposed to hide from view.

"-So, how are you feeling now?" asked an upside-down Lola.

"I dunno, I guess I'm ok. I'm just confused. I mean, this is Potter. I cant like him. I'm not allowed to like him."

"Maybe that's the problem," said Lola wisely.

"Huh?" said Lily, confused.

"You have spent 6 years convincing yourself that you hate James Potter, and now that you think you might have feelings for him, you feel like you're betraying yourself. Therefore you try to re-convince yourself that you hate him, and it's confusing you," she came out of the handstand. The other two stared at her. They never thought anything that made that much sense would come out of Lola's mouth.

"Is it just me, or did that actually make sense?" asked Sky, in fake amazement. Lola stuck out her tongue and did another handstand. Sky stuck her tongue out as well.

"Why am I friends with you two?" asked Lily jokingly.

"Because we're wonderful." Replied Sky with a perfectly straight face. Lily counted 2 seconds before they all burst out laughing.

This was how conversations between the three of them usually went. It would start out with something serious, Lola would say something blatantly obvious, Sky would mock her, Lily would shake her head at their immaturity and they would all laugh, completely forgetting what they had been discussing.

"Look, Lily, just take things slow and see how it goes." Said Sky once they had recovered, "Try living in the moment, it's fun"

"Yeah, I suppose you're right," said Lily, and she resolved to just put the matter out of her mind and see what happened.
