A/n: Here it is..chapter 8..finally. sorry i took so long to update but i had no time to update as school was winding up. Now that finals have started and im doing anything i can think of to avoid studying i have ALOT of time. lol.

James was in his room, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. He was feeling miserable because Lily had once again turned him down. Even though he had stopped being an arrogant prick, her words not his, and had changed ALOT, she still wouldn't go out with him; she hadn't even noticed how much he had changed. Which stung alot, considering he had changed because of her.

Out of the blue, he heard Sirius' voice calling his name. He took a small mirror, out of his pocket, and instead of his own reflection saw Sirius staring back at him.

"Where are you?", asked Sirius, "Lily is in the great hall, having dinner, Moony is making sure that no one comes near her but…well you might want to get here, just in case".

"On my way", said James, 'If Lily's pranked she'll never forgive me', he thought, while he ran all the way to the great hall.

As soon as he got inside, he saw that nothing had happened…yet, he hurried toward them. Remus bent down to pick something up, as the same time as the girl who was sitting next to Lily, turned around, James immediately saw from her expression that she was under the spell, he started running toward them but…he was too late.

He reached Lily just as she said, "I really, really like James Potter."

Everyone in hearing distance turned to stare at her, while she just blinked a few times, before she realized what she had just said.

She got up from the table to see Potter behind her and couldn't resist the urge to slap him. Then she walked out of the great hall, acting like nothing had happened.

Professor McGonagall stood up and was about to go down and lecture the pair when Dumbledore stopped her by saying, "No, they must learn how to sort out their own problems". She had no choice but to sit back down.

Lily was lying on her old bed in Gryffindor tower. There was no point in going to the heads dorm because James would be there and she really didn't want to see him.

She was surprised that she wasn't actually feeling angry, I mean she was but not that much, she was just mad, not furious like she should be, instead she felt embarrassed and…hurt. Though she had no idea why. She probably should have expected him to do something like this to her. He was James Potter after all.

Putting a spell on her to make her say that was the least she should have expected from him. That insufferable toe-rag. The nerves of him, making her lie and say that. Well she wasn't going to bend down and let him know that he had gotten to her, oh no, she was not.

She was going to act like nothing was wrong, which would probably bother him a lot, and of course she would ignore him.

James was walking around the castle, with no idea where he was actually going.

He kept thinking about what had just happened and that Lily would never forgive him. Even though he hadn't actually done anything wrong, well not on purpose anyway. He had tried to make sure that nothing happened to her but it did and he couldn't help it.

He looked u for a second and saw Lily standing somewhere ahead of him, he looked around and realized that he was in the place where they usually started patrolling from. He had thought that she was going to skip today, and so he was going to as well.

As soon as he got in hearing distance Lily said coldly, "You're late Potter". James opened his mouth to say something, but she glared at him so intensely that he closed it. James groaned, this was going to be a long year.
