Being as the Ball was only one week away, Lily and James only had four days to get everything ready for the Singing contest, and things weren't going smoothly. The pair we're still ignoring each other and making their jobs as Head Students even harder on themselves.

"So Lily are you going to sing at the contest?" Louise asked while Lily was sitting in her old dorm room with all her friends.

"Umm I don't know" Lily said and all the girls sighed.

"Lily why not! You have a great singing voice!" Michelle argued.

"Yeah, and there's nothing stopping you from doing it, so what's the big problem?" Alice asked and Lily shook her head.

"You all really think I have that good a voice?" Lily asked shocked and all the girls nodded in agreement.

"You are all fucking mental!" Lily said with a laugh.

"I wonder what the Marauders will sing?" Louise asked.

"Who really gives a shit…" Lily said coldly looking down.

"Well…oh well…" Louise said giving in, she wasn't in the right mood to start an argument with Lily about the Marauders of all people.

"Lily, all jokes and coldness aside, what are you going to do about James? I was talking to Remus and it turns out that you did really mess with James' head, he just doesn't know how to take you anymore" Michelle explained and Lily reluctantly sighed.

"I know, But he's the one being immature…" Lily said crossing her arms.

"Second sign of love that is…" Alice explained.

"What is?" Amy asked.

"Well the first is denial…we all know she has that" Alice said with a wink and before Lily could cut In she started her sentence again.

"Then its blaming the other for stupid things, like falling out with each other because of the denial" Alice finished off. Lily coughed and then started her own sentence.

"Right! First off girlies, I have no denial what so ever about James Potter, secondly Don't you all agree that he is being a little bit childish about this whole thing? And thirdly…I don't even like him!" Lily said and all the girls laughed at her.

"What are you all laughing at?" Lily asked confused.

"You…Lily you're a terrible liar!" Michelle explained.

"I'm not lying!" Lily said, obviously lying.

"Lily we may be a bit slow on things, but our memory isn't bad, you can't deny that not very long ago you sat in that very spot and admitted to us that you liked Potter, and you know you did, so why are you lying to yourself!" Louise asked.

"Because it's better then admitting the truth!" Lily shouted and all the girls went quiet until Michelle spoke up.

"But…Lils…how is it better then the truth, you could have everything you've ever wanted with James if you told him the truth, but like this…you both can't even be in the same room as each other because the differences between you both at the minute!" Michelle said.

"Exactly…differences between us!" Lily said and the girls still didn't understand what she was going on about.

"Meaning?" Alice asked.

"Well…You remember ages ago when James and I hated one another?" Lily asked and all the girls frowned.

"How could we ever forget" Amy sighed.

"Exactly…the hate was so strong, I mean he was a conceited pompous prat who didn't care about anyone's feelings but his own" Lily explained.

"Ok Lils, let's put you straight on all of this, James didn't hate you, you hated him, and he WAS a conceited person I'm not going to lie to you, but he never just cared about his feelings, he cared about his friends feelings as well. He would do anything for his friends!" Louise explained and Lily sighed.

"I guess" Lily said silently.

"Ok…so what's your problem then?" Michelle said.

"Yeah ok, say we did get together and I fell in love with him and we were happy, what would happen if those differences between us became so strong that we would break up…I would be heart broken, and I'd also be losing a friend as well." Lily explained softly.

"Yes that's possible…or you could have everything you've wanted for months" Amy said.

"Yeah, Dumbledore is always saying that differences can make us stronger, maybe that's the way with you and James" Alice commented.

"Hmm not a bad point" Lily said finally coming round.

"And lets think about it you and James aren't completely different, I mean you are both very intelligent, both care deeply about your friends and family and both hate the Sytherins" Louise said with a smile.

"Yea, I guess you are all right" Lily said smiling.

"So when are you going to tell him?" Michelle asked excited, but before Lily could answer Louise jumped in.

"Why don't you sing it to him instead?" Louise said with a sly smile looking at Lily, who's smile went to a laugh.
