James and Lily walked up to the common room, both of them flushed. James was thrilled. He had never expected that to happen and he was so glad it did. Because now he could be with Lily and not have to ignore the insane desire to kiss her. Lily was completely cheerful. Everything seemed five times funnier than it actually was, everything seemed brighter, nothing was annoying.

They reached the common room and (it was hard for them to believe) found it completely empty. Even though it was only ten, every one was sleeping. That was a first.

"Good night, Lily," James grinned, pulling her towards him.

Lily chuckled and stood on her toes and very lightly pressed her lips to his.

"By the way, James, "Lily said when she pulled away, "remember that night after the lake? When we had to sleep in your dorm?"

James laughed, "how could I not?"

Lily gave him a sexy smile, "I was awake."

And she left the common room with James staring after her.

He stared at the stairs to the girl's dorm for a while and then shook his head, smiling and went to his own dorm.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lily was having a really weird dream. It was about Iris and Sirius. Iris was in her room and suddenly Sirius appeared, holding a hat. She asked him what he was doing here...

"Sirius, what are you doing here?" Iris asked, and Lily was sure this wasn't a dream any more.

Wait....the dream couldn't be true....

Lily pulled away her curtains and saw Sirius curled up on the floor of their dorm, clutching a pillow and looking utterly confused. He was in the middle of the dorm floor, his hair messy and his eyes half open.

"I have no idea," Sirius said, looking around with such a confused expression that Iris, Alison and Lily burst out laughing. Alison fell off her bed and that caused Sirius to start laughing. The people in the dorm next door started yelling at them for making such a racket at eight in the morning.

James and Remus came in to the dorm, in their night suits and after they saw Sirius and Alison on the floor and the rest laughing their heads off, they started laughing too, even though they didn't even know the full story.

"SHUT UP!!" a girl bellowed from the next dorm. Many people followed, cursing and abusing all of them.

"You shut up or it's detention!" Lily snapped between her laughing.

"Sirius what are you doing here?!" James asked Sirius, who was still VERY confused. He couldn't rememer how he got here at all.

"I...I don't know. I don't remember anything..." Sirius said, scratching his head.

"You must have sleep walked, " Lily said.

While the rest argued about the possibilities for WHY Sirius had wandered in to the Girl's dorm last night, James walked over to Lily's bed and kissed her softly.

"I've been itching to do that all morning," James smiled crookedly.

No one had noticed them except for Sirius. He was smiling at the same time that he was biting his lip. He gave James a thumbs up but at the same time he looked sort of....betrayed and hurt. James couldn't figure out why.

"Wanna go down for break fast?" Iris asked, avoiding Sirius' eye again.

"Sure," Remus said and his stomach grumbled.

"Then, we'll meet you in the common room in ten minutes. OUT!" Alison said and she pushed all three boys out of the room.

"OW! Alison! You just stepped on my foot!" Sirius complained.

"OUCH, ALISON!!" James yelled as se pushed them out of the room, cackling.

Lily got up and opened her trunk. She searched for a decent shirt to wear over her dark blue skinny jeans. She settled on a black Beatles shirt. Alison was wearing a purple frock type shirt with black tights. Iris was wearing a black, full sleeves hoodie and black skinny jeans that complimented her figure.

Before going down, Lily saw Iris hide behind the curtains around her bed and drink something. She wondered what it was.

"Let's go," Alison said.

They all met James, Remus and Sirius downstairs. James was wearing a brown shirt and he had rolled the sleeves up with jeans that complimented his long legs. Remus was wearing a white collar shirt with a black sweater and dark blue jeans. Sirius was wearing a black, half sleeves shirt with The Rolling Stone's sign on it and dark blue jeans (they were o dark that they looked black!).

James put his arm around Lily when she reached him. Remus grabbed Alison's hand and gave her a breath taking smile. Both Iris and Sirius rolled their eyes. Sirius wondered if Iris and him were ever that annoying?

They reached the Great hall and sat down for break fast. Alison and Sirius argued over the last muffin, entertaining the rest.

"YOU'VE HAD TWO MUFFINS ALREADY!" Sirius bellowed.

"So?" Alison said.

"I want the last one!" Sirius said.

"But I only had the blue berry muffins! I want the chocolate chip ones!"

"No, I'm taking it," Sirius said and he snatched the muffin from Alison's hand and spat on it.

"Eew!" Alison moaned.

"Gross," Lily said.

"Want it now?" Sirius offered her the muffin, smiling angelically.

"You're such an ass, Sirius," Alison said, "You should get a medal for making every ones blood pressure high."

Sirius suddenly had a flash back:

"ADMIT IT IRIS!YOU LOVE ME AND YOU WANT MY CHILDREN!!"Sirius screamed, banging his fists on the table and every one in the hall turned to stare at him.

"Sirius!SHUT UP!"Iris screamed,"YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR FOOD NOW!"She screamed at the hall. Every one turend away, some laughing.

"Haha!You admitted it!"Sirius chanted, laughing.

"No,I didn't!Ugh,Sirius you should win a medal for making every ones blood pressure high!" Iris moaned.

When the flash back ended, Sirius looked up and saw Iris looking back at him. It was the first time in days that he had looked in to those chocolate eyes. He knew she was also remembering the first day back. Iris and him both grinned at each other, despite themselves.

James, Lily, Remus and Alison didn't understand this exchange between them and weren't stupid enough to question them. They got on with their chatting, with Alison throwing death glares at Sirius most of the time and eyeing the muffin longingly.

"Good morning, students!" Dumbledore said, "I have good news for you all."

The students sat up in their seats, paying attention.

"We will be hosting a bonfire today at seven o clock in the Hogwarts grounds."

A sudden air of excitement appeared in the room. every one started talking immediately, excited and they started planning what they would wear.

"Your Head boy and Head Girl will tell you the details."

Lily and James grinned at each other and got up from their seats and walked to the stage, holding hands. There were many whispers around them.

"Are they together?"

"No, no... I heard James is going out with Ivy Daly."

"No way, Potter is obsessed with Evans."

"I would have never thought Potter would go for a mudblood."

"The Head boy and the head girl..."

"So gay."

"Are they together or not?"

"Yes we are," James grinned at the Hufflepuff girl.

Lily smacked the back of James' head, "That's not the point."

James and some other students laughed.

"Okay so, this bonfire is also a sweat shirt party. If you don't wear a sweat shirt, you're not allowed to enter. The sweat shirt is basically your ticket," Lily chuckled.

"What if we don't have one?" a small boy asked.

"What kind of an idiot doesn't have a sweat shirt?" James asked the small boy incredulously and the boy flushed red.

"Actually," Lily said, glaring at James, "we have asked a man from Hogesmeade to come and put up a sweat sirt shop outside for some time. If you want, you may buy one from there."

"WE HAVE A SWEAT SHIRT SHOP?!" James demanded, so excited he couldn't control himself. Students all around them burst out laughing. Even Lily couldn't stop herself and cracked a smile.

"Yes, James," Lily laughed. She turned back to the students, "Every one who wishes to attend it must be down by seven. There will be a barbecue prepared by Professor Slughorn himself."

James couldn't help smirking.

The students giggled.

Slughorn with an apron and the cook hat....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"James!But a decent sweat shirt!" Lily moaned. Both her and James were roaming around the shop, looking for sweatshirts to wear.

"Decent is boring," James moaned. He pulled out a black sweat shirt from the rack that said 'RAPE ME.'

"Can they sell this?" James' eyes widened.

Lily laughed, "I dare you to wear it."

"No way!"

"Then make Sirius wear it!"

James grinned, imagining Sirius' face when he dared him. Sirius and James had actually experienced a rape. Well, almost a rape. There was this girl who was being followed by some men and then they started touching her. If James and Sirius hadn't turned up, the girl would have probably been dead...

James spot Sirius and yelled, "PADFOOT!"

Sirius' head turned and he grinned at his friends and came over, "what's up?"

"I dare you to wear this to the bonfire," James chuckled.

As Sirius read the sweat shirst, he started laughing, "sure."

"Seriosuly?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, why not? Every one knows I'm an insensitive bastard." As Sirius spoke, his voice became choked up. He tried to turn this line in to a joke but he was finding it hard to.

Lily and James stared at him.

"Sirius, you're not," Lily said.

"Don't even think that," James said firmly

Sirius smiled, "I was joking."

"No, I know you weren't. Don't think you can lie to me, Black," James said.

"Seriously, I'm fine. People expect this sort of stuff from me. It doesn't matter."

And before Lily and James could even say anything, Sirius walked off, holding the black sweat shirt tightly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Iris came out of the Hogwarts grounds, wanting some space. Every one was still staring at her these days and she wanted to escape badly. After keeping the sweat shirt she bought in her trunk, she went down stairs towards the usual spot by the lake.

When she came out of the door, she saw a shaggy black dog. He seemed scared at first, stiff as if getting ready for an attack.

Iris LOVED dogs. She had three when she was a little girl but she had to give them away when she came to Hogwarts. She loved all of them almost as much as she loved Lily and Alison.

But she felt some sort of deep connection with this dog. She couldn't explain it, but his very presence was suddenly calming her.

Iris crouched down and whistled, asking the dog to come towards her, gesturing with her hands.

The big, black dog suddenly calmed down and came running towards her, wagging his tail and it's pink tounge hanging out of it's mouth which was set in a way to make it look like he was smiling.

The dog came and attacked Iris, licking her face and putting his paws on her knees.

"Eew," Iris laughed, wiping her face.

She looked down at the happy dog and scratched it behind the ear and ruffled the hair on his head and neck. He really was a beautiful dog...

Iris got up, smiled at the dog and walked away. She started to walk towards the lake again but she heard soft steps next to her. The dog was following her, wagging his tail and looking at her with innocent eyes.

Iris gasped and bent down.

His eyes were exactly like Sirius' eyes. The rich brown with the flecks of magnificent purple that stood out so clearly.

"Sirius?" she said, feeling stupid that she was talking to an animal.

The dog didn't reply but kept on wagging it's tail.

I must be going mad-Iris thought.

Iris went towards the usual spot, beneath the beach tree, with the dog following her. She sat down with her back against the bark and the dog collapsed beside her, putting his head on her lap. Iris stroked it.

She smiled.

She had just made a new friend.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They were all at the bonfire, having fun, drinking butter beers and pumpkin juice while Professor Slughorn prepared the barbecue. He had burnt most of it. Luckily, Lily and James had also gotten the elves to prepare a feast.

Lily and James had both found sweat shirts at last. They were really stupid but funny at the same time. James' had a black sweat shirt that said 'LOSER' and Lily had a purple sweat shirt that said 'LOSER'S GIRLFRIEND.' Every one loved their sweat shirts and it confirmed the rumors about them.

Iris was wearing a black sweat shirt that said, 'Baby, I'm bored.' Every one was raving about it.

Alison was wearing a hot pink sweat shirt that had many random things written on it. Like music, love, magic....that kind of sweat shirt.

Remus was wearing a grey sweatshirt that had a wolf on it saying "woof woof." James and Sirius laughed a lot when they saw it and Alison, Iris and Lily couldn't understand why.

Sirius was wearing the black sweat shirt that said 'RAPE ME.'

Iris had one of those break downs again when she saw Sirius. She couldn't explain why it hit her so much at that very moment. Maybe it was because of the cute smile he gave her or because of how unbelievably delicious he was looking. Both of them had gotten over the ridiculous idea of avoiding each other completely.

"Rape me?" Alison asked Sirius. She was linking arms with Remus and holding a butter beer in the other hand.

"Yes, I am that desperate," Sirius chuckled.

Every one burst out laughing.

"Iris, I love your sweat shirt!" a hufflepuff girl said.

"Thanks," Iris gave her a half a smile.

As she walked away with her friend, Iris and the rest could hear them talking about her.

"What do you reckon?" the hufflepuff girl asked her friend.

"She seems stoned," the friend giggled.

"I heard she's cutting herself," the hufflepuff girl.

"Did you hear that she's going out with Clayton?"

"Both of the emos together?"

"Yeah. Gay, right? It's like Potter and Evans. Head boy and Head girl."

Alison, Remus, James, Sirius and Lily glanced at Iris who was just laughing.

"Honestly, you would think people had better things to talk about. Did you hear about Erica Jones?"

They all started discussing what Jones did, every one supplying the rest with useful information. Professor Slughorn announced that he was done with the barbecue. Only Lily, James and Sirius were brave enough to try a bit.

*

Iris walked off with Chris after ever one had eaten. She was feeling like shit at the moment because she had seen all these girls making plans to slip Sirius a love potion and also they started talking about how he must have gotten over Iris because he didn't follow her around any more. People were talking about how both of them would have been the perfect couple because both of them would be able to balance each other out.

Chris sat down with his back against the tree. Iris sat down next to him and he put his arm around her. There was no feeling. Nothing there. It was like some one she barely knew had put her arm around her. Not like James and definitely not like Sirius.

"You okay?" Chris asked.

How can he even think I'm okay?-Iris thought.

"No," Iris replied truthfully.

"How bad?"

"Really bad. Worse than ever."

Chris smiled and then pulled something out of his pocket. It was a shiny object and even in the dark, Iris could tell what it was. Her mouth dropped in shock.

"I don't do-"

"There's a first time for every thing," Chris cut her off.

"I don't-"

"Trust me, it helps."

"But-"

"Trust me, Iris."

Iris looked at the deadly substance in Chris' hand and took it into her own. She was screaming at her self mentally, her better side telling her to drop it NOW.

But the bad side told her that it would take the pain away and that was what she wanted.

She looked back at the party and saw Lily and James. James had his arms around Lily and he bent down and kissed her in a soft, sweet and romantic way. She looked left and saw Alison and Remus, both of them laughing because Alison had put cake on his face. Then, she looked right and saw Sirius. He was drinking butter beer and gazing in to the fire. There were girls behind him, giggling and eyeing him up and down but he didn't seem to notice. He was too busy with his thoughts.

Iris blinked back tears and looked back at Lily and James. James pulled away so that the tip of their noses were touching and laughed because of a stupid joke Lily had cracked. Then he kissed her again.

And that's when Iris realized that she would never have that happy ending. She would never end up like Lily and Alison. She would be all alone, friendless and with no one to love. She would be all alone in this world.

How was she supposed to deal with that kind of pain?

So she did it.

Something Iris thought she would never do.

Drugs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know, I know....I feel so bad for Iris.

I hope none of you kill me. I think I'm going to sleep with one eye open from now on. Lol. =P

I love the Lily/ James action in this though and I LOVED the sweat shirts. I had this bonfire/ sweat shirt party with my friends and it was a BLAST so I decided to put it in the story too. My friend, he wore what Sirius is wearing. And I wore what Iris was wearing. My other friend wore what Remus waswearing, except that it was a cat that said 'meow meow'. I got the idea from James and Lily's sweat shirt LATE at night.

Lol, I get my BEST ideas late at night.
