James left to go find Sirius in a daze he just majorly fucked up and needed some major advice to fix it. James left Julianne in that hallway with many questions unanswered but hell they weren't even going out. If this stupid little string of flings was going to get in the way of him and Lily he was going to end it. Besides this Julianne thing was a comfort thing he didn't really want Julianne. He wanted Lily.

After Mary was woken up by Lily she proceeded to get up because Lily's problems were bound to keep awakening her. She took out a mirror placed in lilac cloth that Sirius had given her.
"Sirius," She called to the mirror. The mirror reflected a little light at first but then his gruffy face appeared.
"Hey Mary what's wrong?" He asked her.
"Nothing I just miss you; when are you out of detention?"
"In fifteen minutes so James and Lily have got some more problems did you hear?"
"Yeah; hey I'm going to finish waking up and I'll be in the common room in twenty minutes will I see you there?" Mary asked.
"Definitely." Sirius affirmed and with a smile he left the mirror. Mary placed the mirror beneath her bed and went to the bathroom to clean herself.
Sirius shrank the mirror and put it back in his pocket and went to his work and since he finished early he got to leave early too. He took his time getting upstairs because Mary was going to take a bit longer than she had said but eventually he did make it and it was not Mary waiting for him in the common room- it was James.
"Sirius," James called. Sirius was getting tired of the whole when I should ask lily out dilemma its a boring and repeated conversation. and Besides it's not like Mary was alone in her feelings he missed her too.
"What James?" asked Sirius annoyed, his problems were getting in between him and his girl.
"Well I have a tiny bit of a problem," James started but then trailed off.
"Really? Would it have anything to do with Lily? Cause if it does she already told me about the lover's spat you guys had." Sirius said sarcastically.
"No it has more to do with the fact that Julianne and I had an impromptu hook up and she saw it. That and Julianne seems to think we're dating."
"Well you did hook up with the girl" Sirius hinted.
"But it was completely non committal just a one time thing." James said defending himself.
Sirius snorted "James you are so dense sometimes, you knew the girl has liked you for sometime now and she knew that you knew about it so what did you think it was going to mean to her. I mean why did you even go there anyway?" Sirius asked. James turned away from Sirius and put his hands to his forehead stressed and thinking about the reason for the mess. Just then however, Mary came from the dormitory stairs and wrapped her arms around Sirius eluding the notice of James. Sirius moved to put his arm around Mary and he smiled at her lovingly.
"Well I don't know it's just. I was so upset about Lily and everything and she was there and I hadn't hooked up in a long time. And for the moment it felt like Lily and I wouldn't recover from this so I needed someone to take my mind off of that." James said softly sighing but clearly not crying.
Sirius started silently laughing. Mary gave a mischievous smile to Sirius and said aloud "Just because I know Sirius won't say anything and I really need to but you sound like a weepy girl." Mary smiled.
James turned around and glared at her but merely said "And then there were two."
Mary completely ignoring James said "You know that she likes you too. But you need to go talk to Lily and I'm assuming she talked to you but didn't yell at you correct?"
"Yup," James affirmed.
"That means she lost her nerve to go tell you she likes you. First make sure that Julianne knows your not dating a mouse like her then go talk to Lily tell her it was a mistake. I guarantee she will yell at you call you a moron etcetera etcetera and by tomorrow morning she will have forgiven you and will say yes next time you ask her out. But under no circumstances are you to wait longer than three days to ask her or else she will move on."
"And that's it?" James asked amusedly how did one person know all this about Lily.
"Well that's your best chance it depends how big a beating her pride took to seeing that."
"And why should I trust you?"
"Because I am her best friend and despite the fact I don't think your good enough for her she wants you so I'll make her happy."
"I meant why should I trust your opinion?" James asked.
"Because I'm her best friend and also your best chance to Lily." James sighed finally accepting this.
"Thanks Mary better get going so I can leave you and my best mate to do whatever it is you're going to do." James said and ran to go find Julianne which meant consulting the map. He took it out and muttered the phrase that unlocked it. He saw she was wandering up in the direction of the astronomy tower with Dorcas. He ran up to meet her he needed Lily like a drug and couldn't wait to tell her.
He finally saw Julianne and called her name desperately from across the floor. Dorcas looked at him questioningly but he didn't have any time for her.
"Hey Jamsie-poo." James at that moment hated her for calling him that which made this so much easier.
"Hey Julianne I keep hearing people saying we're going out uh why are they?" James asked and Julianne's ridiculous clown smile faded.
"Because we are?" Julianne said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"No it was just a few hook ups." James rationalized.
"That's a relationship James but if you want to end it fine!." Julianne huffed before she slapped him and walked away. James was left there stunned as to how he ever became friends with her. When his face stopped stinging he took out his map again and found Lily who was wandering the dungeons by herself James sighed hoping she didn't get herself into some more trouble. But that's what he saw coming for her trouble in the name of Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange.
Lily was absentmindedly wandering the corridors when she felt a pull to the potions lab. She heard whispers coming from behind her she quickened her pace trying to get to Slughorn's office before whoever it was found her. She panicked and ducked behind a statue and hid.
"So he told her to root any people who were suspicious of her. Her duty as a spy too important as there really aren't any others." Rabastan told his brother.
"I heard that I also heard that she's really good at what she does even though she's a non Slytherin. Apparently she' got all the other Order members convinced of her loyalty. It's too bad they don't know that we've got her family under our protection-" She heard them go by her statue and waited a few minutes before getting up and headed towards the passageway revealed to her by James and proceeded to walk down the long tunnel.
Half-way down the passageway she bumped into the very person she did not want to see James Potter. He was breathing heavily as if he had sprinted down seven floors.
"Ja- -" Lily spluttered.
"No Lils my turn to talk. I'm not with Julianne she is not my girlfriend there is only one girl I want to be with and she has red hair and green eyes and she has a fiery temper which as much as I say I hate I actually love." James sighed.
"What about Julianne you guys were together in the kitchens and then again outside that classroom?" Lily managed to ask.
"We're not together I felt ridiculous about what I said to you and she was there so."
"Well you should what you said to me was so unfair and so untrue!" Lily screeched
"That is not the point!" James yelled growing frustrated.
"Well what is? Hmm what is?" Lily screamed.
"I love you Lily I have loved you since second year."
"Well what took you so damn long?" Lily asked angrily.
"What took me so damn long? Are you kidding four years worth of rejections is enough for any guy to be discouraged! You could have told me you liked me!" James said angrily but what Lily did next completely threw him off balance. She jumped into his arms and kissed him with as much passion as she could muster. Both of their tempers melted the second their lips touched and they both threw themselves into the kiss. It was intoxicating and they both grabbed the other as if afraid of letting go. Electric shocks were sent throughout their bodies as the kiss continued. James opened his mouth slightly and his smell was enough make Lily start ferociously kissing James again. Eventually the kiss ended but neither of them wanted to. However the need for oxygen overtook that desire.
"So doing anything next Hogsmeade date?" James asked nonchalantly. Lily merely cocked an eyebrow but laughed nontheless.
YAY Lily and James :] its too bad I'm not even close to done torturing them yet. *sigh* Things shall get darker my friends next chapter will be up within the next few days my dears :] REVIEW!
