A/N: hi everyone! I apologise greatly for not updating in AGES! I had a load of schoolwork and was on holiday in France aswell. Whilst on holiday, though, I wrote some chapters so there should be some more chapters up real soon! Again I apologise and I love you for reading this! Xxxxxx

"where's lily gone? She wud durr a minute ago" slurred Sirius.
"she's just gone to the toilet, padfoot, she'll be back in a minute."
"Kay." said Sirius and he presently collapsed on the floor. I sighed, at least he has shut up now, I thought. I dragged Sirius to the sofa, where Moony and Wormtail were sitting, and sat down.
"finally!" said Remus
"finally, what?" I said
"finally he has gone down. I thought he never would!" Remus joked.

We entered the common room with proud smiles on our faces. I saw Sirius slumped on the floor and the rest of them casually sitting around him. Typical Marauders. I walked over to them and sat down, James whispered in my ear, "did you do it?"
"yes, of course I did. I just need to throw these sweets in the fire. " I replied
"what took you so long? And why throw out perfectly good sweets?"
"I transfigured the firewhiskey into boiled sweets, and there was a LOT of firewhiskey. It took ages!" I replied
"oh." he said

She had a knowing glint in her eyes and I wondered if she had read my journal. No, she couldn't have, if she had then it would have taken longer. I was just being paranoid.
I watched as she got up and threw the firewhiskey sweets into the fire, her long hair flowing behind her as she moved. I tried to stop myself staring but it was too hard, she was too beautiful, and she would never be mine. A distant memory came into my head, it was of the first day I had ever seen her. That day she had smiled at me, that was the day that I had unofficially fallen in love with her. And yet, when I had asked her out she had declined. I continued to ask until she hated me. I still asked her, it became our game. She loathed and I loved. All that hate, all those years, and today, she had done me a favour! My unrequited love for her was growing so much it was becoming painful.
I noticed a hand waving across my face, and it was then that I realised that I was frozen, staring at her back as she pushed the sweets into the fire. I turned quickly to find Peter looking at me with a sympathetic expression on his face.
"damn, James. You have it bad, maybe hanging around with her isn't such a good idea." he said
"what, Wormtail? This has been the only time she has actually acknowledged my existence properly. Well except that first day in first year..." I said
"OK, James, but don't come crying to me when she gets a boyfriend. She IS an extremely attractive girl, Prongs. I'm saying that as a friend by the way. I don't fancy her obviously." he said
"right. Hush up now, she's coming." I said
Lily made her way over to us and smiled.
"who's hungry? Dinner's in 5, shall we make our way down now?" she said
"yeah, I'm starving! But what do we do with Black?" said Alice.
"We'll drag him up to our dorm and meet you in the great hall, ok?" said Remus
"yep, let's go Lils." said Alice.

A/N: I thank you so so much for reading so far!
