Erm, Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while….. I've been so busy with school, but I only have 2 weeks left so when summer rolls around I will be able to update all the time!

Anyway thanks to all my reviewers! You all ROCK!

Disclaimer: still the same, don't own anything except the plot…. sigh

When I woke up the next morning I felt lighter and happier then I had felt all year. I yawned and rolled over to look at my clock: 9:34. Thank goodness it was a weekend. But seeing as I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep I pulled back the covers and stood up. I then lumbered my way to the bathroom to take a shower.

Turning on the shower head I stepped under the steamy jets. The pressure was just the right amount and in so time I felt relaxed and clean. Drying myself off I noticed something bad. I forgot a change of clothes.

Cautiously I peeked out of the doorway, satisfied in seeing no one I made a run for it. Not noticing which way I was running I accidentally ran into the room that said, "Head Boy" above it. I noticed something was wrong from the moment I closed the door. Bringing my head up from resting on the doorway I looked around. This isn't my room! There are quiddich things everywhere. I glanced over at "my" bed and saw James sleeping there. Realization dawned on me like a brick. I tried making my way slowly to the door without making any noise, unfortunately being the klutz I am I tripped over a pile of clothes and hit the dresser knocking it over with a loud, thud.

James quickly woke up groping for his glasses and wand. Quickly I tried to cover myself back up with the towel and make my way to the door, but I wasn't fast enough.

"Erm, Lily," James began cautiously as if he was walking on thin ice, "what are you doing in my room in only a towel?"

"Um, well, erm…" I trailed off, not really thinking about what I said. Instead I was looking at his abs. He wasn't wearing a shirt and had only a pair of navy blue boxers with little golden snitches on them. His hair was messier then usual but it looked almost, cute. On second thought he looked hot. Lily, what are you thinking? I thought to myself, He is still the arrogant prat you once knew. But he helped you, and he doesn't play that many pranks anymore. You love him. Subconsciously I heard a voice call my name. I jolted out of my thought with an attractive, "Huh?" noise. Then realizing where I was, blushed.

"Oh, right, well you see I was just seeing if the house elves accidentally gave you some of my clothes, yea…." I said making it up as I went. He seemed to buy it though and replied.

"No Lily, but if I do I will give them to you."

"Right, well okay then, um, see you later?"

"Bye Lily."

I edged my way back to the door and after closing it ran back to the safety of the right room. How embarrassing! He probably thinks you are a weirdo. Wait, why do I care again? Because you love him. Oh, that's right. Wait- WHAT? No, no, no, no, no, no, NO WAY!

Pushing the thought away I began to dress and found myself putting on make-up.

What are you doing? Why are you putting on make-up?

Because you like James and want to impress him, remember?

Oh, right. Wait, what?

You know he will think you are weird if you keep talking to yourself. Not that you care about him.

Yes I do, oh wait. That was a trick wasn't it?

Yep.

I think I am going insane.

Probably.

Well THANKS!

You're welcome.

But you do like James, don't you?

You know you do!

Do not!

Do too! (a/n that's a combination of the two)

Not!

DO!

Not!

DO!

NOT!

Not!

Do!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

We tricked you!

Yea, well…. Um….

See you do like him.

Yea, I guess I do.

I jolted out of my thoughts to see that I had put on WAY to much mascara. I looked like a slut, which is exactly what I don't need right now.

I wiped it all off then made my way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Finding Sam and Alice I sat down. I immediately noticed something was up. Everyone was whispering and talking in little groups.

"Guys, what is going on?" I asked while sitting down.

"Oh, you haven't heard have you? Malfoy was expelled and no one knows why. Some people think that they found his mark," Alice said being the Gryffindor gossiper she is.

"Huh?" I asked, "What mark?"

"The Death Eater mark, you know the one on your left arm?" Sam added eagerly.

"WHAT?" I said a little too loudly. Everyone looked over at me in surprise. I lowered my voice and spoke again. "Where is he going to go now?"

"No one knows for sure, but we heard that he is going to be privately tutored while being You-know-who's right hand man," Alice supplied.

I opened my mouth in a silent, "Oh." I then looked up at Dumbledore, he smiled with a twinkle in his eyes and silently raised his glass in a toast. I smiled gratefully up at him and mouthed the word, "Thanks."

He then unexpectedly stood up and asked for silence. The whole room was quiet thinking he was going to say something about Malfoy.

"As you are aware Halloween is coming up soon and this year we are going to have a costumed ball, but it will be for only 4th years and up. Groans were heard by the little ones but were hushed as he spoke again. "It will be planned by our heads who will give you all the information you will need by next week. That is all"

With that everyone started talking again, but this time about the ball. I stood up and walked over to James who was talking with his friends, Remus, Sirius, and Peter.

"James," I said while tapping his shoulder, "We need to work on planning the ball today."

"Okay," He said, "I will meet you in the library at around 2, does that sound good?"

"Sure, see you then." I then walked away to the whispers of the Hall.

"-did they just have a civil conversation?-"

"-are they going out?-"

"-I heard that they-"

I sighed. Will this school ever grow up? But one thought did travel through my mind.

We did have a civil conversation. We haven't been fighting for a while now….

Well what did you guys think? I wanted to go back to explain how she found out about Malfoy. So are you guys happy? She finally decided she likes James!

Please Review!
