Lily, Andrea, Cassidy and Natalie sat on the Hogwarts grounds early in the morning. Breakfast was just beginning and dew drops covered the grass turning to ice from the cold. The four drew their cloaks around themselves tighter. All four had oatmeal bars in their hands and were eating happily. Natalie threw her oatmeal bar wrapper to the side and then a thought dawned on her.

"Lily." Said Natalie suddenly.

"Hmm?" asked Lily basking in the 'cold' sun light.

"Don't the prefects have to open the ball with a dance?"

Lilys eyes opened abruptly. "Wh-what?" she asked and then she remembered. She exclaimed miserably. "How could I forget?! I'm so stupid!"

"And rehearsals start in a month." Added Natalie.

"Rehearsals for what?" Lily demanded. "none of us are that inexperienced in dancing.

"Basically so the Great Hall won't be punctuated with our voices saying 'Ow that was my foot you stepped on.'" Said Natalie.

"Why is God trying to torture me?" Lily asked looking up at the sky. "I'm trying to move on. I truly am. Ask anyone and they'll confirm it but how can I when the person I'm trying to forget about is getting shoved up my arse?"

"Language Lily." Cassidy reprimanded.

Lily looked at her sulkily before putting her head in Andreas lap.

"I could um-um- talk to James for you." Said Cassidy. "Bring him to his senses and all that."

"No." said Lily suddenly. "If James is going to be a chuffing arse let him. I want him to realize his mistakes by himself. He's not a chi-" Lily stopped short as she looked across the lake. Sitting up she squinted and stared. She saw James and Patricia sitting there kissing.

A block of ice built up in her stomach and tears formed in her eyes. Jeremy was-how could her Jeremy do THAT?

"He's not a what Lily?" prodded Natalie. Cassidy and Andrea followed Lilys gaze as did Natalie.

"Cassidy." Said Andrea.

"What?" asked Cassidy.

"Hold me back before I go and kill the moron." Said Andrea standing up. Cassidy didn't take long in following Andreas orders. She held Andrea back as she tried to go kill James with her bare hands. Natalie hugged Lily who began to cry.

"I don't know why it hurts me so much." She sobbed. "It shouldn't but it does. I can't see him with someone else. I feel like dieing."

"That's how love is." Whispered Natalie and patted Lilys back. Andrea was letting out a string of colorful words as Cassidy tried to hold her back and calm her down at the same time.

"Lets go." Said Cassidy softly to Andrea. "Lets take her up to our dorm."

Andrea paid no heed to Cassidy.

"For her sake." Cassidy whispered. Andrea stopped struggling abruptly and turned towards a sobbing Lily.

"Why does it hurt so much?" asked Lily blowing her nose.

Andrea gave her a sympathetic look and sat down beside her. "It just does Lily. It just does. I felt the same way after Sirius and me." she trailed of.

"Does the hurt wear off?" asked Lily innocently.

Andrea sighed. "No. It takes time. A lot of time. It still hurts me just like it's hurting you right now."

Lily drew in a shaky breath. "Can-can we go in now?"

"Sure." Said Andrea. Lily got up and linked arms with Andrea.

Natalie let out a small sigh. Cassidy looked up at her. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Natalie lied.

"Come on you can tell us." Said Cassidy.

"My friends." Natalie admitted. "The ones in my year. The friends that are my closest-ONE of my closest-" she corrected herself. "in the school. They- they're accusing me of ignoring them."

"But you're not ignoring them." Objected Cassidy. "It's just that this whole Lily James business has all of us a bit.preoccupied. Plus you're a prefect and most of the dance workload is on you because this is the seventh years last year and the professors don't want them to work to hard. The head boy and girl have enough to worry about as it is and they deserve a small break. Plus this is the sixth years first dance so no one wants THEM working to hard on it. Naturally the fifth year prefects are going to be shoved towards all the work for the dance."

"I know that, even my friends know that but they just can't understand or else they're just looking for an excuse to fight with me." Said Natalie.

"I never liked them anyway." Said Cassidy and got a warning a glare from Natalie. "well I always thought they were a bit.stuck up. No one likes them. They think they're so popular but they're not."

"Listen Cass I don't care what everyone thinks about them. They are my friends." Said Natalie. "We've just come across a little misunderstanding."

"What about those other girls in your year? Jeffery Myers is one of the cutest fifth years and he's always with them. I hear he fancies you." Said Cassidy playfully.

Natalie turned red and muttered a "Shut up." To Cassidy.

"but it's true!" said Cassidy. "I see the way he looks at you when you're both doing your prefect duties. I must admit if I didn't have Remus I'd be all over him."

"You know I'm not interested in guys though." Said Natalie but Cassidy saw she was pleased that Jeffery Myers liked her. Natalie thought he was sweet- along with the rest of Hogwarts.

"There's a first time for everything." Said Cassidy smiling at her. "Come on how about some hot coco? And I bet Lily really needs some cheering up." She caste a glowering look towards James and Patricia before retreating towards the castle with Natalie.

* * *

Kayla smiled sweetly at Sirius.

"How are you hun?" she asked leaning on him.

Sirius sighed and turned towards her. "Fine I guess. Why?"

"Oh I heard you came back really tired yesterday night. And you woke up pretty early this morning."

"Yes I just had some...'issues' to clear out in my head. I've learned that walking as well as quidditch really helps do that."

"So you're fine now?" asked Kayla.

"Yea. I'm doing alright now." Said Sirius giving her a wavering smile.

"Oh I heard that Andrea said 'the words' to Terry. Isn't that sweet?"

Sirius looked at the ground. "Um.yea it's cool." He mumbled.

Kayla stared at Sirius. "Siri what's wrong? You're acting so.." She searched for a word. ".different." She ended.

"No I'm fine really I am." He said staring at Kayla. Out of the corner of his eyes he spotted Andrea walk in with Lily beside her. Behind them were Cassidy and Natalie. All four girls had hot coco and were sipping it cheerfully. Terry at that moment got up and walked to Andrea. He kissed her on the cheek in greeting. Andrea smiled and offered him a sip of her hot coco which Terry accepted.

Sirius felt hot anger build up inside of him. He stared at Kayla who was still looking at Sirius worriedly. He brought her into his arms and kissed her. "Enough talking." He said grinning.

Kayla seemed to squirm uncomfortably in his arms and Sirius confused let go of her.

"But we never talk." She said. "it's always when do we snog? Or my room or yours. We never-just sit and talk."

Sirius stared at her surprised. "I mean we love each other right?" asked Kayla.

"Uh-yea we do." Said Sirius uncertainly. 'I think I said I love you to the wrong type of girl.' He thought to himself.

"Well we should have more to our relationship than physical-er-stuff. I mean look at Cassidy and Remus."

Sirius chanced a look at his baby sister and Remus. Natalie, Andrea and Lily were standing on the steps waiting for Cassidy. She stood in front of Remus not even holding his hand and both were talking. 'Rather seriously' Sirius though to himself. 'Wonder what's up.' Lily beckoned Cassidy to come join them so with a quick kiss on the cheek delivered by Remus and an I love you from Cassidy she disappeared up the steps. Sirius still couldn't believe that THAT was his sister. 'It's amazing how she's grown up.' He thought to himself. He couldn't believe that the tomboy usually covered in mud and dirt from playing quidditch all day long and beating the boys up would bloom and become a gentle, kind, caring girl who was now Remuses girl friend.

She still could probably whip their hides at quidditch Sirius thought with a smile but she concentrated more now on girl things. And no one could ever convince her to join the Quidditch team.

James had tried tons of times but had gotten a soft quiet no. The 8 year old Cassidy would've punched him in the eye. By the time she'd turned ten she'd started growing out of her tomboy faze but how Hogwarts had polished her into such a girl that Remus would like was beyond Sirius.

Kayla suddenly jolted him from his thoughts. "Look I mean they're the perfect couple. Why can't we be like that?"

"Uh O.K. so what do you want to talk about?" asked Sirius blinking a few times.

"UM-I dunno." Said Kayla. "What's your favorite food?"

"All food." Said Sirius automatically.

Kayla giggled. "See aren't we off to a good start?"

Sirius sighed. 'Yea' he thought. 'A good start on the train of boredom.' He settled back into a couch and prepared himself for a long boring afternoon.

* * *

Lily had by now calmed down and was sitting on the edge of her bed. The four had gone to the kitchens and gotten hot coco and then come to their dorms. By the time they were sipping coco Lily felt much better. She explained to herself that the feelings she was feeling were normal. They were just the after effects of the love she had for Jeremy that was wearing off.

She grabbed a bag of droobles best blowing gum and took one out. Natalie who was sitting on the floor looked up at Lily.

"Feeling better?" she asked.

"Yea." Said Lily grinning,. "I had fun today. It's been awhile since we've been able to get together and just sit."

"Oh I have an idea!" squealed Andrea. "Why don't we invite the whole sixth year class girls to go to have a girls day out this Hogsmeade week?"

"Yea." Said Cassidy. "We'll have so much fun. Just all of us girls."

Natalie smiled. "I hope you guys have fun."

Andrea gave her an odd look. "Why aren't you planning on coming?"

Natalie replied. "But I'm a fifth year. You guys possibly couldn't have meant me."

Cassidy gave a fond smile towards Natalie like an older sister would. "Of course you silly. We don't even need to take your name for such trifle things. You should know automatically that you're invited. If you want you can er..call one of your friends or something."

Natalie shook her head. "Nah. They'd refuse. I'll come with you guys. Besides they don't even know half the sixth year girls."

Andrea grinned. "Fine then its settled."

* * *

Hogsmeade trip. .

Everyone came except Patricia because 'James would miss her too much'. So it was Kayla, Andrea, Natalie, Lily, Cassidy and the girls in the second sixth year dorm. Sonia Patil, Carey Appleburg, Sandy Lavender, and Shania Cray. All four were jolly, happy go lucky fun girls to hangout with. Sonia had light brown silky, wavy hair and light brown eyes. She was kind and sweet and her words were always soft and melodious. Carey on the other hand Sonias best friend talked enough for the both of them. She was witty and clever and shot back witty replies to any awkward questions or comebacks. She had black hair and dark blue eyes. Sandy was the hyper one. She was always hyped up and one would think she ate two galleons of sugar every morning what with her bouncing around like Tigger. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Shania was Sandys best friend. The two were extremely loyal to each other and barely ever fought. If they disagreed on something they would respect the others descision. Fighting wasn't part of their vocabulary.

The only sixth year other than Patricia who had not come was Mary Lodge. She was a shy girl and Natalie had tried to get her to come but she wouldn't come. Oddly enough Lily had been the only one who had asked her. Even she HAD to admit that they all were a LITTLE stuck up. Lily had been partly glad that Mary had said no. She was boring but it would've been rude to not ask her. (A/N: Come on guys you know this thing is something common in EVERYONE.no matter how nice u r there is always a little stuck up side in you and you know it :P. If there wasn't one then you wouldn't be human.)

"So where to?" asked Carey jumping up and down.

"Erm..shopping for dress robes." Said Sandy excitedly. All of them walked towards the shop and entered it hearing a little ring as they did.

"Oh wow." Natalie breathed and picked up black globe earrings. She held them upto the light and looked at them closely before putting them back.

"These would really suit you." Said Sonia taking out icy blue hoop earrings. Out of them all she was the expert on this type of stuff. Everyone always said she should open a beauty parlor. The earrings were oval shaped. Natalie looked at them and held them up to her ears.

"You're right." Said Natalie. Cassidy suddenly came and dragged Sonia away asking which dress robe would suit her.

"Look cute guy!" exclaimed Carey. A young man in his late teens walked into the store. Carey at once pulled her hair out of its ponytail and began flirtatiously walking around looking at dress robes.

"How slutty can you get?" whispered Lily to Andrea who in return giggled at Lilys remark.

"Terry hates her." Said Andrea. "She practically ran after him for a month before finding some other guy."

Shania from behind nodded in agreement while checking the price tag of a maroon dress robe. "Yea, I agree. But hey she's sweet. I mean once I lost five galleons and she offered to go outside and look for them with me. It was dark and we spent hours looking around on the quidditch pitch."

"Ouch Shania!" Sandy exclaimed as Shania stepped on her foot.

"Sorry." Said Shania sheepishly. "Come to think of it Carey is the exact opposite of Sonia. I mean Sonias so-shy and quiet. She can't stand being the center of attention whereas Carey-" Shania stopped short and looked towards the crazy girl who was right now in the middle of bumping into the young man. She had 'conveniently' unbuttoned the top button of her robe.

Natalie walked over with her newly bought earrings. She was in the process of putting them on. When they were securely in place she looked in her hand mirror. "Not bad." Said Natalie. "They look pretty good."

"Save them for the ball." Said Sandy taking out an icy blue dress robe. She put it up against Natalie. "This would go great with your earrings."

Natalie shrugged. "I'll try it-"

"Hey how do I look?" came a voice from every ones left side. They looked up and towards Cassidy. She was wearing a golden brown velvety robe that swept the floor. The sleeves draped downwards and the neckline was square going well with her black hair and twinkling eyes.

"Wow Remus is going to flip when he sees you." Breathed Lily. "You look great Cass."

Cassidy looked down at herself modestly. "Sonia helped me pick it out." She smiled. "I best go change now."

Sonia handed Cassidy the hanger for her dress robe. Sonia no matter how modest she dressed always looked spectacular. She never meant to get the attention of people-especially guys- but there was just something about her. Maybe it was her modesty or shyness. Or maybe the fact that she was so innocent but she always managed to catch a guys interest. If Carey made a spectacle of herself and a guy would turn to see what was going on his eyes would immediately be attracted to Sonia. Of course she herself would turn away showing lack of interest in the guy so he would turn to Carey responding to her flirt techniques.

There had been only one guy who'd ever went after Sonia after she'd showed her resistance and that was Timothy McCoy. Which was why he and Sonia had been going steady since fourth year. Both were deeply in love with each other. He himself was a seventh year though so many people doubted their relationship would work after Hogwarts. Lily however had faith in it. If she could carry on a relationship with someone without even seeing them then those two could surely carry on a relationship despite the age difference.

"Sonia now you're going to help me." Said Lily excitedly. And so a good part of the day passed on while shopping for robes and accessories. When the girls emerged from the robe shop they were laden with three or four bags and in Careys case a guys floo address. All of them walked out talking and laughing but Kayla lagged behind them. She took a deep breath and called out:

"Hey Andrea um-can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked nervously and bit her lip.

Andrea turned around to stare at Kayla for a minute. Lily stared between the two as the whole group wondered what was up. Andrea rested her sunglasses atop her head and a heavy silence endued.

"Sure." Said Andrea after a prolonged silence that had become almost unbearable for Kayla. She walked over to Kayla and signaled for the others to go on ahead.

"So what's up?" asked Andrea turning to Kayla with concern. The two walked at a safe distance behind the girls. Andrea felt a pang of envy as the group ahead of them exploded with laughter. She wanted to be there right now.

"Um well I know you and Sirius sort of went out last year-" she began nervously. Andrea took a sharp intake of breathe. "And well I mean you love Terry now so I doubt you'd mind me asking this but-well I'm asking you this because you were the only one that had a talking relationship with Sirius Black."

Andrea stared at her for a minute. "What do you mean? What are you asking?"

"Well-It's like this. I see Cassidy and Remus. I see You and Terry and I see Sonia and Timothy. All of you are happy couples who are in love. Sirius has told me many times that he loves me-"

Andrea stared at the ground. So Kayla was another one of his victims. Andrea knew Sirius Black inside out and those three words meant trouble for any girl. Well any girl but Andrea. But the girls he flirted with-he always said I love you to them. Most of them never took it seriously. They were flirts exactly like Sirius so it was cool between them but occasionally one girl would take it seriously. Like Kayla had. Andrea felt nothing but pity for Kayla who had fallen so innocently into his trap.

"and we don't have a relationship like you guys. It's always your room or mine? Or do we snog now or later? Get what I mean? And I tried talking to Sirius but he just got bored."

Andrea had to suppress a laugh. Sirius Black talking instead of snogging. This was priceless. Andrea would've paid a million galleons to see that. The only reason Andrea didn't laugh was because Kayla was dead serious. She loved Sirius just like Cassidy loved Remus. Or supposedly loved Sirius that is.

"Anyway what I'm asking you is what does Sirius like to talk about? You're his friend and previous girl friend. You must have first hand experience on what Sirius likes to talk about." Kayla finished of.

Andrea stopped in front of Florean fortescues ice cream shop. She finally released her laughter.

"What?" asked Kayla.

Andrea fell back onto a chair, dropping her bags. "Oh let me get this straight?" she asked calming down. "You're asking ME on what Sirius Black likes to talk about." Kayla nodded and Andrea went into a fit of laughter. She could just imagine the look on his face when Kayla would say lets talk. "Oh God Kayla how much do I have to pay to see the show? Sirius Black and talking instead of snogging just do not mix." She said breathlessly.

"Why?" asked Kayla in a hurt voice.

Andrea looked at Kayla and stopped laughing. She could tell that she had hurt Kaylas feelings. "You really like him don't you?" asked Andrea seriously.

Kayla nodded. "I want to make our relationship work."

Andrea looked at her for a minute. "Alright." She said finally. "You're going out of your way to make this work so I might as well help you. Sirius likes quidditch. You have a brain get him started on that subject."

"O.K. what else?" asked Kayla.

Andrea shrugged. "I dunno seriously. We'd just talk about different things. We'd talk about things from our families to McGonagolls big butt."

Despite herself Kayla laughed. She then became serious. "But how come he doesn't talk about such stuff with me?"

Andrea shrugged. "Give him time." Was all she could say. She couldn't exactly go telling Kayla that Sirius wasn't in love with her. She had no business in their personal affairs and it was sort of an unsaid rule between the friends. The girls would never tell the other girls if they were being used or not. Andrea thought it was a stupid rule but she was a loyal friend and ex-girlfriend.

"Thanks Andy." Said Kayla.

Andrea stood up. "No problem. Now lets get going. I bet the girls are already at the three broomsticks."

Kayla smiled. The two quickened their pace and caught up with the girls as they entered the three broomsticks. Warm arms suddenly came around Andrea.

"Hey Terry." She said weakly. "Mind helping me with some of these bags?" she asked and looked up at him.

"Oh sure." Said Terry suddenly noticing the bags Andrea was holding. He took them from her. As one the girls walked over to a table and flung their shopping on the seats. A chuckle escaped from Lilys mouth.

"Where are we going to sit now?" she asked. Their shopping had take up one whole table.

"What'd you girls do? Buy the whole shop?" asked Terry getting a playful slap on the arm from Andrea.

"Most of this stuff is Andreas." Said Natalie.

"I wouldn't talk Ms. Five bags of shopping." Andrea retorted.

"Atleast I didn't have so many bags that I had to have Lily and Cassidy hold some for me." Natalie shot back. Everyone began to laugh.

"Hey Cassidy, Lily, Natalie!" came a voice. The three looked up to see Sirius, James, Remus and Peter sitting at a table with four extra seats. It had been Sirius who'd called out for them. He motioned to the empty seats showing that they'd been saved for them. "Where's Andy?" he asked from across the room.

"Right here!" called Andrea from the safety of Terrys arms. She untangled herself from him. "I'm coming!" she called to Sirius. She turned to Terry. "bye love." She said and kissed him quickly before going to join the other girls.

"Well I had a fun time today." Said Lily brightly to the other girls. "We should do this some other time."

"Yea." Agreed Sandy.

"Yo girls we're dying here!" called Sirius jokingly. "Remus here wouldn't let us order until you guys came. Come on I'm hungry!"

"O.K. we're coming!" called Lily laughing. Natalie, Lily, Andrea and Cassidy all walked over with Kayla behind them awkwardly.

"Hey Sirius." She cooed and made a move to sit in the seat beside him. Sirius smartly put an arm over the seat stopping her from sitting down. "This seats taken." He said.

"By who?" asked Kayla confusedly.

Sirius reached out a hand behind him and pulled Natalie towards the chair. Natalie sat down thankful that she was considered such a close member of the group.

"Oh." Said Kayla quietly. She made a move to sit down in his lap but Sirius looked at her and she stopped awkwardly.

"Kayla please leave." Said James quietly.

Kayla stared at James. "Why?" she demanded. "Who're you to tell me what to do?" she looked at Sirius for support but Sirius just stared at her for a moment before speaking.

"Kayla leave." He said adamantly. The four girls were confused but didn't say a word. Kayla looked at the four expecting support from them. All four though were thinking that there must be a good reason they're doing this otherwise they wouldn't tell Kayla to leave. The four were presently worried if everything was alright.

Kayla stared at them for a minute before turning and leaving. Sirius rolled his eyes and put an arm around Natalies shoulders in a brotherly manner.

"Stupid ditz." He muttered.

"O.K. what's up?" asked Lily.

"How'd you know something was up?" asked Remus surprised.

"Well I knew there was a good reason for treating Kayla like that." Said Lily.

"O.K. well I have such a good idea for a prank." Said Sirius gleefully. "The thing is James here says we should vote because it's dangerous."

Andrea bit her lip. "James is most probably right." Said Andrea.

"Be quiet and listen you James supporter.." Said Sirius. "We could tell Snape how to get into the whomping willow passage on a full moon night."

"WHAT?!" everyone exploded.

"Quiet!" Sirius whispered fiercely. The whole pub was staring at them.

"Sirius are you out of your pea brained mind?" Lily whispered fiercely. "Snape could die!"

"Or worse Remus could bite him in his ware wolf state." Said James. "Do you want Remus living with that? That he killed someone?"

Sirius waved these comments off. "He won't get in though. I mean come on the most that'll happen is that the whomping willow'll beat him up a bit."

"Sirius unlike you we haven't completely lost our minds!" Andrea hissed. "Use that thing up there between your ears."

"I think we should vote." Said Sirius stoutly.

"Fine." Said Natalie. "Who votes that we should NOT play the prank?"

everyone raised their hands except for Sirius.

"It's unanimous." Said Cassidy. "Now lets bury this topic."

"Fine." Said Sirius disgruntled. He sat back in his chair with his arms crossed.

"Um-why don't you call Kayla back?" asked Natalie uneasily. "I felt weird just shoving her away like that."

Sirius rolled his eyes at Natalie and called Kayla over. She looked at Sirius and cat walked over.

"I forgive you baby!" she exclaimed and flung her arms around him.

"O.K can you please let go of me now?" asked Sirius letting her presume that he had wanted to apologize. She was cutting of his air supply.

"Oh sorry but I have to go now." Said Kayla pulling back. "Sandy wanted to discuss lipstick colors with me. Which reminds me James did you leave Patricia in that store for mens clothing?"

James snorted into his butterbeer.

"She's been waiting there for hours saying that James is in the changing room trying on his robes." Said Kayla. "Jane McCarthy saw her there about 20 minutes ago."

Everyone burst out laughing. "She wasn't leaving me alone." Said James defiantly. "I had to tell her that and sneak out while she was looking at matching socks for us." He shuddered.

"James!" came a voice as Kayla walked away. James cringed and put on a fake smile as Patricia sat herself down on his lap. "Honey you should've told me you were coming here. Why'd you leave me in the shop? I can't read your mind and know where you're going."

"Thank God for that." James muttered. "Listen Pat honey can you get off my lap?"

Patricia got off and looked at Lily who was sitting in a chair across from James. She was examining her bracelet interestedly. James eyes fell on Lily and his eyes softened. The bracelet was the only hope he had going that maybe she still loved him.

"Where do I sit?" she whined. Patricia looked around at the seats.

Patricia now wasn't that stupid. She wouldn't dare to push anyone off the inseparable eight up from their chairs otherwise James would have her head. But Lily was another story. James hated her. Patricia walked over and hauled Lily to her feet.

Lily stared at her bewildered.

"Excuse me but I think I have a right to sit with my boyfriend." Said Patricia.

Lily stared at her before the seven stood up and offered their seats to her. Except James only stood up. He strode over to Patricia who was trying not to let them know that she felt hurt. They hadn't offered her a seat but all of them stood up for Lily..she suddenly felt herself being hauled up by James.

"Patricia this isn't your seat." He said in a steely voice.

"Then where do I sit?" she asked him.

"There." Said James and pointed to the table where the other girls were sitting. Kayla was sitting with Sandy at a table with on vacant seat. Carey and Sonia sat at another table with Sonias boyfriend. Shania was at another table conversing with a boy in fifth year who looked oddly like...Natalie let out a small gasp.

Shania was shamelessly flirting with Jeff Myers.-who was flirting back.

Cassidy looked at Natalie who suddenly had to sit down.

"What's wrong wit her?" asked Patricia looking at Natalie who felt tears trickling down her cheek.

Natalie swallowed and looked like a lost girl who had no idea what was going on. 'He's not sweet.' Natalie thought to herself. 'How could I have been so wrong?'

James distressed at seeing one of his friends in this state became annoyed. "Pat listen just go."

Not wanting to make the same mistake as Sirius he turned and kissed Patricia quickly. Lily felt a pang in her heart and tears in her eyes. She wiped them away quickly and turned to Natalie.

James turned his back on Patricia and the seven gathered around Natalie.

Patricia walked over to Kayla and Sandy.

"I am so damn jealous of them." Sighed Sandy staring at the eight of them. "And Natalie's a fifth year. They place HER above us."

Kayla nodded. "I know. And I'm Siriuses girlfriend. I love the bond those eight share. And I want to be part of it."

"Why is my Jamsie poo worried about Natalie when his soulmate is sitting right here?" asked Patricia stupidly.

Kayla stared at her. "Patricia."

"What?"

"Shut-up."

A/N: Someone said they wanted a huge chapter.well HERE it is. A HUGE chapter. 16 pages. So be happy. This chapter was a bit boring I know. Basically I wanted to show the friendship these guys have. Show how deep it really goes...so did it work?! Or do they still seem..unfriendly and lost in their own lives? Ok now the whole group dismissing Kayla and Patricia I know that it's rude to do that and stuff but everyone does this. You pple have to admit that it's something common among EVERYONE. Popular or NOT. Hell even I do that no matter how rude it is but there are certain time when you just want to be able to talk to your friends-your inner circle of friends if you know what I mean. And you don't want anyone to intrude during that time. Get it? Once again im NOT trying to turn this into some cliché type story. Lolz I like those stories and all but sometimes everyone needs a break from them. I didn't make them TOO stuck up tho did i? I mean its natural everyone is like that. Plus im really sorry I couldn't update sooner..life caughtup with me and I hasto study and...stuff. lolz. Cant promise u guys that the next chapwill be out soon cuz I always miss my deadlines..sorry.
