"This is so messed up," James moaned. Him and Lily were sitting in the Marauder's dorm. Remus and Alison were down stairs, at the party. Iris was with Chris and Sirius was no where to be seen. They had tried looking for him every where but he had vanished. James had a feeling that he had gone to Hogesmeade.

"Tell me about it," Lily groaned, rubbing her shoulders, "I don't get it."

"What don't you get? James asked. He reached over and tucked a loose strand of Lily's fiery hair behind her left ear.

"She loves Sirius, she wants to get back together with him, Chris tries to kill her and yet she had his tongue down her throat?" Lily said. She didn't get Iris at all these days. She was too fast for both Lily and Alison to keep up.

"People do strange things, Lily," James said, "especially when they're in love."

Lily raised an eye brow and chuckled. It was hard for her to imagine that James Potter had said such a sensitive thing.

"You're so cute James."

"And sexy," James flashed her a heart stopping smile. Lily was once again struck by how good looking he was.

"In your own mind, yes," Lily giggled.

"HEY!" James yelled and he began to tickle Lily. Lily squealed and begged him to stop.

"Stop!James,STOP!!" she shrieked, laughing at the same time.

"Say I'm hot," James grinned.

"NO!" Lily screamed as tears of laughter ran down her cheeks.

"Then I guess I'll keep on tickling you," James laughed.

"Okay, okay!You're SO hot, James!I want to ravish you because of your hotness!" Lily hollered and they heard a few boys outside their dorm burst out laughing at what Lily said.

James let go of Lily and raised his eyebrow, "you want to ravish me?"

"I just said it to get you off," Lily laughed.

"Then I should tickle you more often," James chuckled and he collapsed on top of Lily on the bed.

"Hold me," he murmured.

Lily pushed him off, laughing at the same time, "such a slime ball."

"I thought Sirius was the slime ball?" James asked.

"Nope, you are," Lily giggled.

"Admit it, you think I'm awesome," James' eyes bored into Lily's.

How could she not tell the truth when he did this? This was so unfair! James had this weird influence over Lily that could make her forget about everything and make her do what ever he wanted her to do.

Lily hadn't realized it but James was awfully close to her, the tip of their noses were almost touching. Knowing what was going to happen next, Lily closed her eyes and James leaned forward. Their lips were almost about to touch when...

"THERE YOU ARE!!" Remus bellowed.

"We've been looking for you for HOURS!" Alison moaned.

Both of them were completely oblivious to what they had broken up. Lily had to take this as a sign. Not now...

James made a mental note to throttle Remus and Alison when he got the chance.

*

"James!" Lily bellowed as she saw him walking down the corridor. It was Saturday and Lily couldn't find any of her friends. Alison and Remus were spending more and more time together, Sirius and Iris barely LOOKED at each other. James was the only one she had and truth to be told, she didn't exactly mind....

"Hey," he grinned when she caught up with him, "I was looking for you."

"Me too," Lily said, "What's up?"

"The hogwarts team and I are just going to go down and practice. Wanna come?"

"Yeah, I can't find any one else to hang out with so I guess I have to settle with boring James Potter," Lily pretended to faint, "such an unlucky morning. Why must this happen to me?"

James clutched his heart, "Lily!"

Lily laughed. She loved messing around with James this way. Both of them knew Lily wasn't serious bit it was fun any way.

"So...how's Sirius?" Lily asked.

"He's doing better. Just don't mention Iris, other wise he's even got his old sense of humor back."

"Why?" Lily asked again.

"I think.... he's pretending," James said, "he seems all happy outside but he's crying on the inside."

Lily said nothing.

"Sirius is a good liar. He's probably lieing to himself, telling himself that Iris doesn't matter. It's killing him but he's trying to show every one that he doesn't care about her any more," James said, "Remus thinks he's back to normal but I know Sirius too well. I know he's not fixed."

Both fo them were quiet for a few minutes and then..

"JAMES! LILY!"

Both of them turned around to see Sirius running towards them. His hair was wind blown and a sort of determined smile was on his face. Speak of the devil and he shall appear...

"Whats up?" he asked.

"Nothing, we're just going down to the pitch," James said.

"Man, have you heard about Erica Jones?" Sirius asked.

"No, why?" Lily questioned.

"She was caught doing dark magic in the Prefect's bathroom. They're talking about expelling her," Sirius said.

"Dark Magic? Erica Jones? Well..."

"That's something I never imagined," Lily chuckled.

"Yeah I know. Erica Jones always seemed so...." Sirius couldn't find the right word.

"Sweet?" Lily suggested.

"Innocent?" James said.

"Yeah, what do you reckon she's up to?" Sirius questioned.

They had reaches the pitch by now and didn't have time to discuss the subject further. They were all surprised by the amount of people that had turned up to watch them practice. Most of them were holding banners that said 'GO JAMES!' or 'GO SIRIUS!'. Girls made eyes at both of them, especially James as he was the captain and that bothered Lily.

Lily said good bye to James and Sirius and then went towards the stands. She spotted Alison and Iris and ran over to them. Iris was wearing all black today which was no surprise. She detested colours these days which was sad. Alison was wearing a brown high neck and dark blue jeans.

"You guys could have told me you were coming here!" Lily complained, taking a seat next to them.

"I came with Remus," Alison blushed when she said his name. Lily giggled.

"I came with Chris," Iris said in a dead tone.

"Alison what's going on between you and Remus any way?" Lily asked, looking straight at the face of her best friend who was now VERY red.

"Nothing," Alison blushed deeper.

"Oh c'mon!' Iris grinned.

"We just like each other, that's all," Alison turned purple.

Lily and Iris laughed.

"What about you and Chris?" Alison asked Iris.

"Chris is pretty boring," Iris rolled her eyes and leaned back in her seat, remembering all the fun conversations she used to have with Sirius. How he used to make her laugh and feel good about herself.

"Then why are you with him?" Lily demanded. She still didn't understand.

Iris stared at Lily, "I would think that was obvious."

"Um...."

"He's not a very good distraction, any ways," Iris mumbled as she saw Sirius kick off the ground.

Alison sighed "I wish you and Sirius would just get over your ego issues."

Iris was quiet.

*

Half way through practice, Iris decided that it was impossible to not look at Sirius. So she left the pitch with Chris. It was hard enough without all the girls in front of her making eyes at Sirius and talking about him like he was a celebrity.

"Why did you want to leave?" he asked.

Iris shrugged.

Chris then took out a liquor flask and had a swig. Iris stared at it. She had never tried heavy liquor and Dragons wine was known to make you feel better about yourself so maybe it might help Iris.

"Can I try that?" she asked.

"Sure," Chris grinned. He loved watching Iris cross over to the dark side. She was so new to every thing.

Iris raised the flask to her lips and had a sip. The Dragon wine invaded her mouth, burning every cell one by one as it flowed through her body.

But the worst part was, she liked it.

A lot.

*

Lily was waiting for James. The practice was over and both of them had made plans to go up to dinner together. Alison was, again, with Remus. Sirius had stormed out of the pitch as soon as practice had ended. He was in a bad mood because he had seen Iris exiting the pitch with that vile Chris Clayton.

There was a light drizzle now. Some people had brought a radio with them down to practice and it was playing an old Rolling stone's song. Lily shivered. The rain was ice cold.

James came out of the changing room, in a black elbow sleeved shirt and dark blue denim jeans. Lily hadn't ever realized before, but James looked damn good in black.

"Ready to go?" she asked.

"Not quite," James chuckled. He suddenly grabbed Lily and started spinning her around in a dance as Dare you to move by switchfoot came on.

Lily gasped in surprise making James chuckled.

"So....Lily....I have a question," James said nervously.

"What?" Lily asked.

James looked down and bit his lip. This was so odd for Lily. James was hardly ever nervous.

"C'mon, ask me," Lily giggled.

"Willyougotothedancewithme?" James asked so quickly that it sounded like one word.

"I'm sorry, what?" Lily questioned.

"Why are you making me repeat?" James moaned.

Lily chuckled.

"I said: Will you go to the dance with me?" James asked clearly.

Lily sighed in relief. There were rumors flying around that James was going to ask Ivy Daly. She was glad that James had asked her.

But the problem was that James mistool the relief sigh for a mournful one.

A miserable expression crossed James' face and he dropped his arms, "I understand."

"Understand what?" Lily asked, confused by his sudden harsh tone.

"I give up," James threw his hands in the air.

"Give up what?" now Lily was extremely confused.

"It's okay if you want to go with some one else," James mumbled his lie.

"But I want to go with you," Lily said and her cheeks burned.

"Why the cold sigh then?" James snapped

Lily couldn't tell him that it was a sigh of relief. That would sound so stupid.

"Yeah," James said and he turned around. What he didn't expect was to be tackled to the ground by Lily.

"Lily-gerrof!" James said.

"Nope," Lily grinned mischievously.

"God! why is it that when I don't want you on top of me, you decide to come? That's so utterly unfair-"

Lily cut James off by very lightly pressing her lips to his. It was not a grand kiss, but it was short and sweet. Something remember able. Their lips moved in a soft, romantic way.

When Lily pulled away, James had the cutest expression of confusion on his face.

"Now do you believe me?" Lily giggled.

James chuckled, "yes."

"You-"

James cut Lily off by rolling over and kissing her again. Both of them were drenched because of the rain and the radio was playing a song called, 'just kiss the girl.'

Lily kicked her hand free and placed it in James' hair, her fingers twisting in it. James caught her lower lip with his teeth and a low moan escaped Lily's lips. Their bodies were pressed together so closely, James' arms so tight around her that Lily was soon gasping for air. She was sort of dizzy as well, but the very presence of James could make her dizzy with happiness.

James pulled away and chuckled.

"I never told you to pull away," Lily moaned.

James laughed and kissed her again.


Okay, I NEVER planned that they would have their first kiss like this but the idea came to me last night and I couldn't resist! It was such a cute idea! I hope you all like it!

Most of you said you feel bad for Sirius. Er....I feel bad for Iris. Imagine if you were in her position. Mother dead, brother just died, father doesn't know who she is, Sirius is not with her any more.

But I also feel bad for Sirius. =,(

Most of you also said that this story isn't funny any more, like it used to be. Yes, I know that but how can I make it funny right now when Iris and Sirius are depressed? The funny stuff usually came from their arguments!

Many people have aslo been complaining about the celebrities I chose to be the characters. Well, I guess I have to explain that then.

James: NO ONE LOOKS LIKE JAMES! I searched EVERY WHERE! NO ONE! So I ended up with Jackson Rathbone who is also Jasper from Twilight. He was the only one who was even remotely close to James.

Lily: People havn't been complaining about Lily so I wont say anything.

Sirius: Mostly you all complain about him. I have given many reasons for why I chose Paul Hewson to be Sirius. Honestly, tell me, who else is there who even remotely matches Sirius' character?

Iris: People love that I made Rachel Bilson Iris so I wont say anything.

Remus: Every one loves Remus.

Alison: I had just seen the movie 'a walk to remember' and I thought Mandy Moore was perfect for Alison. Alison is suppsed to be really sweet and innocent looking.

So there you go!

I'm not updating till the reviews reach 525.

You know you love me!!! (GOSSIP GIRL!!LOL!)
