A/N: OK, this is the last chapter before the 14th of February. I SWEAR! And it's a fairly short chapter too, because I'm writing an extra long one next time, plus it's too exciting for me to write this one too long. And virtual cookies for elisabeth, Tahirisolo90, PremzaWitchOfWeirdos, frenchfriesrule, russianchikk, DDwelling, rupertisahottie05, Jenna, Michaela, and zippyfox.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday passed without anything much interesting happening. Unless you counted Peter almost being eaten by a plant in Herbology interesting. He came out alright – just a little scratched and stunned.

On Thursday night, it was the Full Moon. Lily and Kim sat in the Common Room, chatting. Lily kept wondering if James was OK. She knew he had experienced Full Moons with Remus a million times before. And he'd told her what had occurred over Christmas was the worst thing that had ever happened to any of them. Still…

That doesn't mean something worse isn't going to happen tonight. She thought. In her mind's eye she saw an unconscious stag lying on the floor of the Shrieking Shack, a dog and a rat watching on helplessly as a wolf lowered its fangs…

"What's up, Lily?" asked Kim. Lily jumped, startled. She felt slightly sick.

"I'm fine. Just… tired." She lied.

"Oh. Me too." said Kim. "Where are the guys tonight?"

"Probably off on some prank." Lily shrugged, trying to get her mind off whatever was going on in the Shrieking Shack.

"Didn't James tell you where he was going?" asked Kim disbelievingly.

"No, that's why I think it's a prank. If it was he wouldn't tell me – I'd tell him off!" explained Lily. Wow, she thought I'm really getting good at this lying thing!

"Good point." laughed Kim. "You might even get so mad you'd cancel your date!"

"Fat chance! I can't wait until Sunday." sighed Lily. The image of the wounded stag was replaced with an image of James moving closer and closer to her, some of the houses of Hogsmeade twinkling in the background.

"What're you thinking about?" asked Kim, grinning evilly. Something about Lily's thoughts must have shown on her face.

"James." She replied, blushing furiously.

"Well, duh." said Kim, still grinning. "I meant what was he doing in your… fantasy?"

"Oh, Kim - that's disgusting!" she cried, slapping her best friend on the side of the head.

"What was he doing, then?" Kim asked.

"He, er… kissing me." replied Lily, blushing harder than ever. Kim giggled.

"Is he a good kisser?"

"Perfect." Lily whispered. "Every time we kiss, it's like… like we're the only ones on this earth. Like the heavens themselves open up above us."

"That's so romantic." sighed Kim. "It never happened when Sean and I kissed. It felt nice… but nothing like you just described it." Sean had been Kim's boyfriend in sixth year.

Lily shrugged. "Maybe it's just how I feel. Or maybe you only feel it when you're kissing your soul mate."

"D'you think James is your soul mate?" asked Kim with interest.

"If he isn't, I don't know who is. He's funny and kind and caring and just… wonderful."

"Funny that," said Kim sarcastically. "I was always under the impression you thought of him as an 'arrogant, bullying toerag'."

"Well, he was an arrogant bullying toerag." laughed Lily. "But this year he's become slightly less conceited."

"Only slightly." said Kim.

"But I wouldn't have him any other way." grinned Lily. "What's James without his bigheaded attitude?"

Kim's jaw dropped. "If James wasn't bigheaded… he'd be Remus!"

Lily laughed. "Yeah, he would, wouldn't he?"

"Except James would have to be a bit smarter." added Kim. They both giggled.

"I love James for who he is," said Lily. "And he's just not himself if he's not egotistical."

"And partly why I like Sirius so much is because he's such a self-centred git." commented Kim, blushing slightly.

"Oh, so you do like him?" asked Lily with mock surprise.

"I thought we'd already established that."

"We had. I just love making you admit it."

"Oh, shut up." grumbled Kim.

"So…?" asked Lily.

"So what?" said Kim, looking confused.

"Are you going to do anything about it?" inquired Lily.

"What? No! I can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because he's one of the hottest guys in school and, like, every girl likes him! He could take his pick from any one of the girls! Plus, if he didn't feel the same way it would ruin our friendship!" Kim exclaimed.

Lily sighed. She was bursting to say that Kim's fears were irrational, as Sirius did like her back. But she had already promised herself that she wouldn't say anything. Sure, she was trying her hardest to get them together, but she didn't want Kim or Sirius to know that.

"Well, it's your choice." said Lily, choosing her words carefully. "But you could regret it."

Kim mumbled something incomprehensible and then fell silent. Lily decided to change the subject. "Have you been listening to the WWN lately?"

"Yeah," said Kim sadly. "But look, Lils – I'm going to bed, OK?"

"OK, sure." said Lily. Kim looked like the last thing she needed was an argument.

As her best friend left, Lily felt kind of bad. She knew it wasn't her fault, but it seemed kind of unfair that she was going to have such a wonderful Valentines Day, whereas Kim would be having such a dull one.

It was guilt to add on to her pity for Remus, and her huge feeling of concern for James, Sirius and Peter. It might not have been a big thing to them, but they were running around with a werewolf!

Lily, stop it! She told herself sternly. Kim will feel better after a good night's sleep. Nothing is going to happen to James, Sirius or Peter. It's not your fault that Remus is a werewolf. And it's Valentines Day on Sunday! So you should be feeling happy!

After thinking all this she realised it was the truth. And she did feel happy, as she fell asleep in front of the fire. And her dreams consisted of her and James on a happy date in Hogsmeade. Although her dreams weren't nearly as magical as what was truly going to happen in two days time…

A/N: Omg, omg, omg! It's Valentines Day next! I'm so freaking excited! This is going to be so much fun! And extra lame and mushy chapter awaits you next update! Hehehe, I'm on a high of happiness! Now review, my friends! Review!
