A/N: Um.. yeah. Hi. I don't have much to say today but usually I find something to ramble on about this so... yeah. Sooo updates will significantly slow down next week for TWO reasons and those would be... 1) Up until now, all the chapters have been written, and we are getting to the point at Chapter 17 when we will post after we finish, instead of posting alread written (yet poorly edited) chapters. Plus, Maddy is grounded and can't get on the computer. And she writes James and I write Lily soooo... AND 2) Midterms are next week! YAY. Not. KILL ME NOW. So, I will be vigorously studying for those, and will have little time to post. BUT I WILL TRY, I PROMISE! You know what motivates me, though? Reviews. Hehe. GO REVIEW AFTER THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE I'M TOO NICE AND POST TWO DAYS IN A ROW, PLUS, LILY AND JAMES ARE TOGETHER! P.S. We have some serious Alice/Sirius action in this chapter. Your welcome ;)


James Potter is my boyfriend. James Potter is my boyfriend. No matter how many times I thought it, it never got old. He kissed me last night. He kissed me and it was amazing. I'd never thought kissing James Potter would be something I would like to do. But, surprisingly, it's quite enjoyable.

The whole "no coach/student" thing was kind of a downer, but I was too high off his lips to notice. The next day, I apparate to camp. I am a few minutes early, and there aren't too many people on the fields, only some of the coaches setting up, including my coach.

"Hey Lily!" he greets me excitedly as I walked up. The bruising on his face has gone down some, but I can tell he is still sore. His eyes have large bags under them, and I feel a wave of guilt for keeping him up late.

"Hullo James," I reply, smiling back at him. My heart swells at the look of his wind tossed hair and crooked glasses. He strides over to me, placing an arm around my waist, and pulls me in for a kiss. His lips taste like syrup and coffee, and I smile into the kiss. "James," I sigh, "You know we can't do this now."

"Sorry," he whispers, before reluctantly letting me go. "Can you do something tonight?" he whispers in my ear, making me shiver with pleasure.

"I didn't really think about it when I asked you before, because we could have been seen. So maybe... maybe we could do something more low key?" I enquire, looking up at him with doe eyes. Gettit? Doe eyes, because, you know, he's a stag and my patronus is a doe and... Okay, maybe I shouldn't try to make those jokes anymore. Okay, onward!

"Whatever you want," he says, before kissing me behind the ear.

"I'm serious you've got to stop," I command. His face breaks into a grin.

"You're not Sirius, your Lily!" he jokes, before breaking into laughter. I bury my head in my hands, ashamed I made a pun as bad as that only moments ago.

"No Sirius/serious puns!" We both laugh, before he gets back to spreading the brooms out. I walk over to help him, picking up one at a time.

"Lily!" I spin around, and see Alice walking toward me. A huge grin is on her face, and she glances between me and James. I blush furiously back, before walking over to her like she's motioning me to.

"Hullo Alice!" I reply lightly, "How are you?"

"I haven't talked to you about Friday yet! When we saw you two at the door.. you looked like you were about to... you know..." She giggled, unable to say the word. I'm about to ask her why she didn't reply to my owl, or why she's not asking about the date, when I realize I never sent her the letter! I'd never attached the letter to Donovan!

I should tell her about it. About the date, and the almost kiss, and the real kisses, but I stop. She still hasn't told me about whatever happened between her and Sirius, and she hasn't mentioned anything about breaking up with Frank, so I'm guessing she hasn't told him either. It may be petty, but I can't help but want to keep this secret from her, to get back.

"I don't know what your talking about," I reply, shrugging my shoulders at her.

"Lily, don't lie to me, I saw it with my own two eyes," she responds, looking at me as if I may be joking.

"I'm being serious, I don't know what your talking about," I lie. I feel bad, but I'm still very annoyed with her.

"God, Lily, what's your problem?" she spits back, her temper rising too.

"You've got to be kidding me? It's not me with the problem," I bellow, my voice rising.

"You're standing there, lying to my face!" she screams. We are attracting attention now, but I don't care.

"You've been lying to my face since December!" I wail, and she recoils as if I slapped her.

She now lowers her voice, getting closer, and whispers, "How do you know about that?"

Did she really think I wouldn't pick up on the signs? "Do you think I'm an idiot? I see the way you two look at each other, how you act around him! You've been with Frank since fourth year, how could you do this to him?" I see her eyes filling with tears.

She stutters through choked sobs, "It just... it just happened... I don't want to hurt either of-of them-em." My heart tugs slightly, and my sympathy builds for her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask tentatively. People are flowing into the fields, some staring at as for a few seconds, but Alice is my top priority now.

"You-ou would be so...so disa-disapointed," Alice mumbles, tears flowing freely from her eyes now.

"God, Alice, don't you know that's not true? I will always love you, no matter what, and trust every decision you make. I only want whats the best for you," I embrace her now, and we are both just hugging. Once I pull away, she wipes the tears from her eyes.

"I'm sorry," we both say at the same time, and I let out a chuckle.

"Do you love Frank?" I ask her, and she nods. "Do you love..." I lower my voice to a whisper now. "Do you love Sirius?" She looks at me, eyes wide, as if she hadn't thought about it.

"I don't... I just don't know," Alice finally responds.

I place a hand on her shoulder, and say, "It's going to be alright. Do you want to come over tomorrow for the night? You know, like a slumber party?" She nods, and I hug her once more. Alice and I are a lot alike, in the way we can't hold grudges. Only seconds after our fight we are already hugging and forgiving each other. That's what makes our friendship so special.

"Love you," I whisper.

"Love you, too."

"James, where are we going?" I ask, his hand around me eyes. When he showed up at my house promptly at seven, he had grabbed my wrists with one hand, covered my eyes with another, and disapparated to who knows where. I am wearing what I had planned on yesterday, but with a plaid skirt instead of the floral one.

"You'll see," he says from behind me. We walk a little ways, me stumbling over anything that was in front of me, due to my lack of vision.

"James!" I finally say, quite frustrated, "Where are we?"

"You'll see," he sing-songs, before finally uncovering my eyes. In front of me is a magnificent house, with grand hedges in the front and a beautiful front porch.

"Is this some sort of... museum or what?" I ask, confused at why we are here. He coughs awkwardly before mumbling something I can't quite make out. "What was that?"

He speaks louder and clearer this time, saying, "Um.. No, this is my house." I start coughing, practically chocking on my own spit as I look again at the ginormous structure. Sure, Alice's house was large, but it didn't even compare to this.

"You're fucking me?" I say.

"I wish..." he jokes, and my jaw falls open.

"You have such a dirty mind!" I gasp, giving him a joking shove.

He throws his hands up and replies, "Hey, I'm not the one with a potty mouth."

I respond slowly, enunciating every word. "You. A. Fucking. Prat!" He just laughs, and starts running up the front pathway.

"Wait!" I call. "Where are you going?" He continues to laugh, so I have no choice but to chase after him. When I catch up to him, I jump onto his back, my legs wrapping about his waist, and my arms around his neck. I lean over, and kiss him on the cheek from behind, feeling the fuzz on his chin.

I jump down, but he doesn't let me off so easy. He whirls around, snaking his arm around my waist, and pull me up to him, planting his lips on mine. I jump, and wrap my legs around his waist again, this time at a different angle.

He licks my bottom lip, and I open my mouth, trying to get as close to him as possible. I tangle my hands in his dark hair, and push closer to him, his glasses pressing into my face. One hand stays firmly on my waist, holding me up, while the other travels up and down my back, drawing patterns and shapes.

"Mm," he says as I move my lips to kiss his scruff, "You taste so good." I murmur back an unintelligible response, before placing my lips back on his. He breaks it this time and whispers, "You know what would taste good right now?"

"What?" I whisper, now kissing his ear.

"Some food I cooked for you that's getting cold." At this, he sets me back onto the ground. For a moment, I think about pouting, before I realize. James Potter just broke a kiss with me and I'm the one who doesn't want to stop. I chuckle at the irony.

"What?" he asks.

"Nothing."

"You know, Lily Evans, you really are one crazy bird."

"James, this house is amazing," I say, barley being able to believe my eyes. The interior design is stunning, every single room decorated to the maximum.

"Erm... thanks," he says, turning slightly red. "Don't worry, my parents aren't here." I look at him, trying to figure out if that was some sort of reference to sex..."No, no! Not like that. I just mean it seems to early for you to meet them..." I giggle.

"Oh, okay, sure."

"Look who has the dirty mind and the dirty mouth now!" He mocks.

"Are we eating, or getting lost in your house?" I ask, changing the subject.

"Be patient," he says. We walk through the halls, stopping a few times to snog- I mean, I mean talk. We did not snog in James's hallway or next to a marble statue or underneath that creepy painting of a horse who wouldn't stop neighing at us. Nope, that is definitely not what happened.

"Okay, here we are," he says, leading us up a narrow hallway and into a small dining area. The first thing I notice is an open door and into a large kitchen, where a few house elves are scurrying around.

The second thing I notice is Sirius sitting at the table, gobbling down food. "Prongsh, dis food is delishioush! Did you make itch yourshhelf? Oh, hey Lilsh-Flohwer." Before I can even try and decode what he just said, James face twists into a grimace, and then a full out scowl.

"Padfoot! That food was for Lily! Molly can make you something if you want, but I made this special." James is seething, but Sirius just looks hurt.

"Gosh, Prongs, sometimes I feel you don't love me or appreciate my human garbage disposal skills." He pouts for a second, but scurries out when he sees James's anger not fading.

"Voila," he says, motioning for me to sit down and eat. Though Sirius ate some, there was still plenty left. Just one more thing I didn't know about James Potter: He was an amazing cook.

James's tongue is down my throat, and I'm perched on top of him as we snog on his bed. His hands are roaming my sides, and ever since my hands touched his hair for the first time, I can't keep them out. I pull on it a little be hard, and he moans into me. I suppress a moan as he flips me over and starts kissing down my neck.

"You," kiss, "taste," kiss, "so," kiss, "good," he says, now running his hands through my hair. My robes are tossed on the floor and me shirt is halfway off when I knock comes from the door.

"James, honey, are you in there? Sirius said you were in your room with some girl?" asks a woman, who I assume is his mother, from outside the door.

"Uh, yeah, one second Mom," he says, sending me a panicked look. I jump out from under him, pulling my shirt down on the way, and grab my robes from the floor. I shove my arms into them before pulling my now messy hair into a high ponytail.

"James, I'm coming in," she says, just as I mouth 'Your shirt' to James. Thankfully, he pulls his shirt down in time. When his mother walks in, we are sitting there on his bed, pretending we were talking.

"Honey, who is this?" she asks, widening her eyes.

"Um this is Lily, my..." he trails off, unsure of what to say. I take over, standing up and holding out my hand to her.

"Hi, I'm James's student, Lily Evans. We were just discussing Quidditch techniques," I say, smiling my adult-pleasing, innocent as always smile.

"Very nice to meet you Lily, I'm Cassie Potter." She flashes James a smile, before saying, "I'm going to go make your father some dinner, because of his late meeting. You two have fun." As she walk out of the room though, her hand hesitates on the door. "Why don't we leave this door open? It seems a little hot in here." I blush furiously, picking up on the hint. She knew what we were doing it here.

Once she is at a safe distance away, I ask, "Did you tell her about me?"

James mutters, "Well, sorta. I told her I liked you, and that you were my student. Not that we were dating though."

Nerves suddenly shoot through me as the first person, other then the Marauders and Alice, know. "Will she tell anyone?"

"Nah, I don't think so. She knows about the rule, and she wouldn't want to get us in trouble." I nod, and suddenly, James is leaning closer. "You know, this is a big house. We would hear her coming." I nervously gulp again. His lips are a millimeter from mine. "No one is watching."

A moment later, once our lips are touching, Sirius pops up at the door. "Except for me!" I jump back from James, my heart racing. Shit, he scared me!

"Go away," groans James, before throwing a pillow and hitting Sirius in the face. I hear him mumble, "No one loves me," before his footsteps echo threw the hallways.

"Now, where were we..."
