"A Serious Sirius" 

Lily ran.  She had no idea where she was running.  She just had to get away.  So she ran.  Down the halls of Hogwarts and up flights of stairs.  She had no idea where to run.  She had no idea why she was running.  She just was.  So she continued to run.  On and on.  As if she stopped the world would end, but eventually, she did stop.  She didn't really have a choice.  She had run into someone.

"Watch it there Mudblood." Sneered the voice of Severus Snape.  Lily stood up straight.  "I don't want any Mudblood filth on me."  Snape pushed Lily out of the way and against a wall.  "Do watch where you are going next time."  Snape strode away, acting as if he was all high and mighty.  Lily slouched down against the wall, tears streaming down her face.  Placing her head in her hands, Lily broke down into more tears.  She sat there for what seemed like hours until she felt arms being wrapped around her.  Looking up, she looked into the eyes of Sirius Black.  Muttering a thank you, Lily rested her head on his chest and continued crying.  Not having a reason to stop. After a little while, the tears began to stop, and finally she spoke.

"I got your shirt all wet."  She said speaking in a voice barely above a whisper.  Sirius was still wearing his "Gryffindor Muggle" shirt from Hogsmeade.  But now the shirt was soaked.

"Its ok.  I can get another."  She smiled at him.

"Thank you." She said.

"No problem.  But tell me Lily, what was wrong?"  Lily looked at him.  Another tear rolled down her face but Sirius wiped it away.  "Don't cry.  Was it something that happened today?  Did you date go well with James?  Did he try and force you into something?"  Sirius wanted to know the truth.  Lily felt as though maybe he deserved to know.

"I had a wonderful time today.  And on the way back, we kissed.  James and I had our first kiss.  I had my first kiss today.  And then I guess I got scared.  And I guess when I ran back here, my little run-in I had with Snape didn't help much."

"Oh.  I see.  What were you scared of?"

"That's the thing.  I don't know.  I kissed him a second time too.  But then I just.  Just freaked."

"Freaked?" he repeated.

"Freaked.  Yes.  I just freaked out.  I wasn't sure what I was doing.  Stupid idiot.  I can't believe that I am actually falling for him."  She gasped after she said what she said.  "Oh my god."  She said out loud.

"Oh my god is right." Said Sirius.

"Sirius.  You can't tell James."

"I won't.  But I swear if you don't talk to him soon, maybe I will."  He replied.

"Alright.  I supposed I should tell him."

"You definitely should."

"Thank you so much Sirius." She hugged him than stood up. "I couldn't have done it without you."

"No problem Lily.  I'm always here."  She gave a slight wave and began down the hall.  Halfway down.  She stopped and turned around to say something more.

"You know.  People think you are just a prank-pulling hottie.  But Sirius, you really are more than that.  You really can be a serious Sirius."  She smiled.

"Gee, thanks Lily."  He returned her smile.

"Anytime.  Bye!" She began down the hall once more.  Thoughts of James flooding her mind. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lily ran into the common room.  She glanced around.  'James.  Where are you?' she thought.

"Who you looking for?" asked a voice from behind her.  She whipped around to see Peter Pettigrew, the fourth Marauder staring at her.

"James." She said.  "Seen him?"  Peter nodded.

"Came in here a while back.  Headed straight upstairs.  Didn't talk to anyone." 

"Thank you." She said and ran upstairs to the Head Boy's dormitory.  Arriving at the door that simply stated "Head Boy" in shiny gold letters.  Lily took a deep breath, then raised her hand and knocked 3 times.  She heard bustling and the door swung open to show a disgruntled looking James Potter. 

"Lily?" He asked.  Then shook his head, realizing it was a stupid question.  'Cause that was of course Lily.  'Upidstay.' Said a voice in his head.  'Upidstay? Who you calling Upidstay?' he replied to the voice.  Then shook his head, realizing he was talking to a voice in his head, in his head.  (A/N Get it? A voice, in his head, in his head.  Confusing, eh?  Oh.  The whole upidstay thing is Stupid in Pig Latin.  Lol. Long story.  Read on.) "What are you doing here?" he asked her.  He shook his head again.  Realizing that was an easy question.  Seeing how obviously Lily was here to talk to him because it was the Head Boy's dormitory.  And James was Head Boy.

"To talk to you."  Stated Lily.  'Why else?' she thought.  'To see his dresser? No.' 

"Oh.  Well.  Yeah.  Come on in."  He held the door open further, allowing Lily to enter.  Lily entered the room and was shocked.  James' room was clean.  Wow.

"Automatic Cleaning Spell." Said James, noticing her looking around his room, a shocked look across her face.

"Well that explains it then."  She laughed. 

"So.  Yeah.  Let me get straight to something Lily.  I want to know.  Why did you run off like that?"

"I was scared."

"Oh what? Me?"

"In a way."  A confused look passed over his face so Lily continued.  "Of admitting the fact that I might just be falling for you." 

"Really?" Now a hopeful look was seen on his face.

"Yes."

"Wow.  I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything James.  Just that you promise to take our relationship slow.  And that you won't cheat on me."  (A/N heh…cheesy!)

"Promise." He replied.

"Good.  Now let's go down to the common room.  Everyone is there." Grabbing James' hand, Lily began to drag him towards the door.  But stopped when James would not budge.  "Come on." She said.  He began to walk towards her.

"One kiss?" he asked.  She laughed a little and nodded.  He leaned down and their lips met in a simple kiss.  Before he could deepen the kiss, Lily pulled away, walked towards the door and motioned for him to follow.

"Come on."  He followed her and grabbed her hand.  Together they walked hand in hand down the stairs.  Approaching the bottom, Lily did receive some evil glares, but not as many as expected.  She glanced at James and noticed a huge smile on his face.  'He is happy.' She thought to herself. 'And I'm the one who makes him happy.' She smiled.  'That.  That makes me happy too.'  She sat next to James on the couch and began chatting to her friends.  'But did I do the right thing?' she asked herself.
