A/N: so what did you think of singing in the rain? Sorry its been taking me so long to update. I've been unusually busy. Just let me know what you think of this chapter, 'K? Thanks to all who reviewed, and hopefully those who review later on. Keep reviewing, peoples!

Here's what happened last chapter:

Lily groaned and buried her face in her hands, thinking of the look James had given her, the one she thought she hadn't even seen.

"Uh, Lils, you alright?" Sarah asked worriedly. She looked at James and back at Lily, a look of dawning comprehension on her face. She mouthed to Sandra, Serindra and Alice that they were to follow her to the library, and stood up.

Lily looked confused as to where they were going, but wasn't told anything. She just watched as they exited and sighed in annoyance.

"Something wrong, miss?" said a voice at her shoulder and she looked up into the face of none other than Sirius Black.

"No, nothing, Black. Just you," she responded. Sirius grinned at the tone she used with him.

"Really? Is that so? I thought you had a problem with James. Is it true? Were you really outside in the rain this morning?" Sirius asked calmly, as though he had just heard about it.

"You know damn well that it's true, so keep your nose out of stuff you don't belong in," she hissed at him.

"Whoa, did I just hear your tongue use such a disgusting word?" Sirius asked in mock surprise.

"Yes, you heard perfectly well, so stop acting so naïve," she said, crossing her arms across her chest and turning in her seat so her back was to the table and so she glared into his grinning face.

"I'm naïve? How do you figure that?" he asked, still grinning.

Lily didn't know what to say to that, and Sirius took the way out before she exploded and yelled at him. He turned around and ran toward the side with the Marauders.

"What do you think is going on between James and Lily?" Sarah asked. The four of them were in the library discussing what she'd seen between Lily and James. James and Lily had alternated looking at each other, which meant that James would look at Lily while Lily looked at her breakfast, and then Lily would look at James while he was staring at his breakfast.

Sandra shrugged. "Well, I don't know what's going on between the two of them, but I can see what Lily either can't, or won't, notice." She shrugged again and went silent.

Sarah looked at her as though inviting her to continue, but Sandra just stayed silent. Sarah shrugged and turned to the other girls. "Do you notice it too?" she asked impatiently.

"Lily has been acting rather odd lately and, come to think of it, James has, too." Remus and Sirius were having a discussion, and by all accounts, it wasn't the usual one. The Usual argument was when Remus told Sirius he needed to work harder then he was working.

Sirius looked up calmly, even while he was reading up on charms. "What do you mean? I haven't noticed anything," he said, even though he had. Especially when Lily looked over at James. It wasn't that hard. And James… well, he was a bit harder to discern, but it was there. Especially when he looked off into space and seemed to be thinking.

James came in at that moment, cutting off the conversation. "Guys, you want to go to the kitchens? I'm hungry," he whined. Remus rolled his eyes. Figures. James and Sirius were always hungry. Seriously, you'd think they hadn't eaten ten minutes ago. (A/N: Oh, did I just say 'seriously'? I meant honestly.) Anyways, back to the three guys.

"Sure, we'll come, Prongs," Sirius said, jumping up. (A/N: See what I mean? Sirius eats too much. LOL! Don't mind me. I talk too much for my own good.)

"Sirius, you really should work on your essay, you know," Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"Speak for yourself, I'm hungry," Sirius whined.

"You're always hungry," Remus responded, his hands on his hips. He shook his head. "I'm not exactly surprised. Oh, go eat," he said, making shooing gestures with his hands. Sirius always complained about the amount of homework they were given, and he couldn't concentrate with all the noise, anyway.

"Finally, you made it," Lily sighed, watching as Remus walked into the library.

"Yeah, well, had a spot of trouble with James and Sirius. You know how they are," Remus said, rolling his eyes. Lily laughed.

"Yeah, I know them. Not as well as I would have liked, but I know them all the same," she replied. Remus looked at her in surprise.

"I thought you disliked James," he said after a moment. Lily looked shocked beyond belief. Had she really said that? Had she?

"Well, uh," she stammered, "Don't I get to change my mind?"

Remus shrugged half-heartedly, though on the inside, he really would rather have laughed. "I suppose," he said, as though unsure. But he knew exactly that he was sure. Acting hesitant was his specialty.

A/N: sorry I left you hanging there. But I have been rather busy, with AWANA and such. There's more to come in this book, so be patient with me. I'll try to update soon, but I can't make any promises. Please tell me what you think! And sorry this chapter is so short, but I have major writers' block. Let me know what you think should happen next chapter.
