It was Wednesday night, 3 days after everyone was back at Hogwarts, and Lily Evans was having her nightmares once again, in which James was being constantly tortured.

At that exact night, Bertha Jorkins had started sleepwalking, only this time it had been different. Usually she just walked around her common room, but that night she stepped out of the common room and walked all the way to the Gryffindor common room. She was still fully sleepwalking but she somehow was able to guess the password.

'Hogsmeade?' she asked the Fat Lady as she approached the painting. The Fat Lady, who was sleeping, didn't open her eyes to look at Bertha and just opened the portrait hole. Bertha walked in slowly looked around, and made up her sleeping mind. She turned slightly and went up towards the boy's dormitories. Slowly, step by step, she made her way up. When she reached the first door, she opened it quietly and walked in. It seemed like there was about 4 beds with 4 people sleeping on each. As soon as she saw the beds, she walked towards the middle bed and slowly laid onto it, whoever she way laying next to, didn't wake up but sensed the new heat so they slowly turned towards her, fully asleep, and snuggled next to the source of heat.

Lily got up from her bed, and slowly left her dormitory, making sure that Marlene and Alice won't wake up. When she entered the common room, she noticed the fire was still alight which means that someone had recently been in here. She didn't think of it too much and continued her way up to the boys dormitory. She went up the staircase which strangely smelt like a girly perfume. She shrugged and opened the door. She knew which bed was James's, the middle one. As she approached the bed, she saw two bumps on the bed, which looked like there was two people occupying it. She stopped and she was sure she felt her eyes tear up when she saw a figure with long hair, which couldn't be James's, move a little and put an arm around the second figure which Lily knew was James. She came a little closer, trying not to sob, and looked closer to the figures. She recognised Bertha Jorkins at once. Lily slowly wiped her eyes and found a spare piece of parchment on James's bed side table and a quill. She wrote 2 simple sentences..

I'm having the nightmares again, but you seem to busy. Thanks… -Lily

And with that, she left the note laying on the desk and almost ran out of the room. On the way down the stairs, she almost tripped as she tried to wipe her eyes.

'WHAT. THE. FUCK!?' James shouted as he woke up to the sight of Bertha's hair on his face. He got up quickly and stared at her.

'Oh my god James, I'm so so sorry! I must had sleepwalked all the way here.' she got up, apologised again and left without further ado.

'What happened?' Remus asked from James's right.

'Bertha fucking Jorkins sleepwalked all the way here during the night.'

'HA!' Sirius laughed from his bed.

'Shut up!' James turned around and his eyes noticed some writing on the piece of parchment on his desk. He read the parchment, 'Fuck!' he noticed the tear smudges on the parchment, 'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!'

'What's up?' Sirius asked.

'Lily was having the nightmares again and she must have came over here during the night and saw Jorkins.'

'What nightmares?' Remus asked.

'Of me getting killed and tortured.' he said, not taking an eye away from the parchment. 'I have to go and find her.'

'You can't, she's probably sleeping.'

'She maybe cried herself to sleep.' Sirius muttered, which didn't make James feel any better.

'THAT CHEATING LITTLE SCUM!' Marlene shouted.

'THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!' Alice added, it was rare for Alice to swear, so it came almost as a shock to Marlene and Lily.

'So they were both in his bed?' Marlene asked, running a hand on Lily's back.

Lily nodded, 'He even snuggled closer to her.' her voice muffled by her pillow.

'I'm going to fucking kill him.'

'Do you want us to bring you some breakfast? I'll make sure to punch James on the way.'

Lily simply nodded and was surprised that her friends knew her so well.

As Alice arrived at the Great Hall, she spotted James and the Marauders right away. James, looking depressed, was already looking at her, it seems like he was waiting for Lily to come in.

'Alice-' he began as she approached.

'She f-ing loved you!' she shouted, not saying the full word incase the teachers were listening, which they were. 'And you just didn't care!'

'There's been-'

SMACK.

Alice slapped James right on his cheek. Silence had erupted in the hall. Everyone's eyes were on Alice and James.

'Miss Prewett!' came shoutings from Professor McGonagall. 'To my office! Quickly!'

Alice gave James a dirty look and followed McGonagall out of the Great Hall.

'You SLAPPED him?' Marlene asked as Alice explained what happened, 'Like an actual slap?'

'Yup. Then I got detention with McGonagall for the rest of the month.'

'Not that bad, you could've been expelled.' Lily said.

'But I wasn't.' Alice pointed out with a glint of mischief in her eyes.

Marlene and Alice smiled at each other , and Lily gave them a weak smile back.

'C'mon Lils, he's a cheating little scum. I'm sure there are loads of other boys you would like in the castle.'

'True,' Lily nodded, 'But there was something different about him…'

'I like the use of past sentence right there.' Marlene smiled.

'Me too.'

'LILY!' James shouted as he found her walking towards the library. He put the Marauders Map back in his pocket and ran after her. 'Lily!' he grabbed her wrist to turn her around. When she turned around, her wand was already in her hand, she was not sure if this was going to work, but she tried anyway.

'Expelliarmus!' she pointed to James's hand. And thankfully, his hand immediately let go of hers due to the spell. 'Don't you dare.'

She turned around and walked away. James wasn't going to give up that fast.

'It was a misunderstanding!' James begged. 'She somehow sleepwalked into the dorm.'

'A likely story.' she shot back.

'It's the truth. Lily, please let me explain.'

'No, I gave you a chance, and guess what? You blew it. So, no James, I'm not going to listen to your lies again.' she ran up the stairs and James followed her.

'You're my girlfriend, please listen.'

'WAS your girlfriend, James. As in not any more.' And with that she entered the library and found her friends. James, not being allowed to go in the library because he set off dung bombs the last time he was there before the holidays, was dragged out by Madam Pince.

'Shit…' he said when Pince was out of the earshot.

2 days later

Two days after the "cheating" drama, all contact Lily and James exchanged was his constant looks over to Lily's table during the classes.

'Lily?' she hear a voice say behind her when she was sitting at the library.

'What?' she snapped and turned around to find Remus standing near her table, 'Oh, sorry. Thought you were someone…else…' she turned back around and quickly wiped her tears away with the back of her hand, pretending to move a strand of hair out of her eyes.

'Er, it's about James…'

'Ugh… I already know! I loved him, he cheated, it's over.'

'He didn't cheat on you! Jorkins was sleepwalking and somehow ended up in James's bed.' Madam Pince gave them a look which plainly says 'Be quiet.' so Lily and Remus lowered their voices.

'"Somehow"' she quoted.

'If you don't believe him, I'll sneak to Slughorn's storeroom to get some Veritaserum, and I'll make James drink it.'

Lily thought this through then nodded slightly.

'Deal?' he asked.

She sighted and said, 'Deal.'

'Take a few drops.' Remus said, handing James the potion.

The girls and the Marauders were sitting in the common near the fire. James had been trying to make Lily to sit on his lap but she just threatened him and almost punched him.

James drank some of the Veritaserum, and didn't feel any different.

'Have you, James Potter, slept with Bertha Jorkins last night, or any night before?' Sirius asked formally.

'No, I didn't even know she was there, I only realised it when I woke up.' He replied.

'Are you sure you weren't drunk or wasted?'

'Positive.'

'Well that clears things up,' Sirius turned on spot to the girls, 'Prongs did not cheat on Lily, and you' he pointed at Alice, 'Need to give James your full apology.'

'Wait up, I am not apologising to James. If he didn't cheat on Lily, why did he snuggle up to James in his bed?'

'I felt the warmth and thought it was Lily.' James said, blushing.

'That settles it. C'mon guys, let's go to the kitchens.' Sirius announced.

Everybody stood up except Lily and James. The group look the two but thought that they needed to talk.

'Sorry…' Lily muttered. James stood up suddenly and almost ran at Lily at the rush of kissing her. He cupped her face and kissed her, trying to show how much he loved her in just a kiss. Lily put her hand to his hair and the other on his arm.

'Don't be, I should've realised that she was there.' he muttered as they took a break for breath.

'I love you so much.' she muttered and pulled James by the tie to bring back the kiss.

After a couple of seconds of kissing, Lily realised that she was still pulling on James's tie.

'Oh my god, I'm strangling you, I'm so sorry.' she looked down and let go of the tie.

'It's okay, it's okay, girlfriend?.' James's lips found Lily's again, he felt Lily nod and grin. Lily felt immense relief as the truth sunk in.

James loves Lily.

Lily loves James.

No one cheated.

I don't know why but I just wanted to add some drama to it, and I decided to save the Quidditch for later. I kind of set my goal to have this 'fanfiction' to last like 50+ chapters. Why? I don't know. It'll be pretty cool. So if you think about it, I'm halfway done with this part of the fanfic. (I'm doing this in 2 parts. This is the first part [6th year] and second part [7th year] will be released whenever I'm done with this one).
