Hi all! I'm here to answer some questions you guys have and thank you all (specifically Ancient Glory and mauradette) for your neverending support!

Mauradette: Thank you for all of your reviews. I try to incorporate as much fluff as I can but unfortunately not everything is fluffy in the L/J world :( I will not be doing Snily as I do not ship that pair and I actually do not like them together, but I understand and respect you if you do. Thanks! :)

Monkeywoman14: Hello and welcome to my story! Thanks so much for reviewing!

If you continue reading you'll see she's not actually mad at James she's just very confused on what she sees in the pensieve and also on how she feels about the matter. She then just blows up at him for no particular reason because of all the confusion she feels. Just ask if you have any more questions!

Thanks to cedora717 and gredandforge34 for their wonderful reviews!

Alternate Universes pt. 2

Lily Evans had missed dinner. This was unusual for the Head Girl seeing she had an appetite to rival that of the Marauders. She'd done a lot of thinking over the past few hours and had come to a disturbing realization. She, Lily Rose Evans, fancied James Harold Potter. Now, she was busy contemplating Alternate Universes again. It was either that or jumping off the Astronomy tower so she chose Alternate Universes.

Because if they happened not to be real Lily was doomed. Completely, utterly doomed to a very sad life of fancying James Potter. She groaned into her pillow, biting down hard and emitting an ear splitting shriek. Then, she continued wallowing. Damn, she was just as bad as his fangirls now. There were quite a lot of those fangirls and now she had succumbed to being one. A lowly Potter fangirl. She felt like crying, screaming, vomiting, snogging him, and then repeating it all over again.

She didn't even know when her feelings had changed. She supposed it was when she realized he was always there for her. When she would come back from class exhausted and snappy and he'd crack a joke that would make her laugh and the tension would be instantly relieved. Maybe it was when he would crawl into bed with her to stop the torrent of nightmares that plagued her sleep. Perhaps it was when he'd be so incredibly protective of his friends and loyal to those he cared about.

Lily didn't know when but she knew why. It was because James Potter was not the arrogant toerag she once knew. He was a mature, funny, smart, kind, handsome, loyal, brave grown-up man. She'd also heard he was a pretty good snog from some of the birds around Gryffindor, not that she was one to listen to rumors or anything.

Yup, if she was thinking about snogging James Potter she was most definitely in another world. She didn't care what anyone said. Her eyes fluttered close and she wished for Honeydukes chocolate. If there was a time she needed it, now would be that time. To make matters worse, she thought sullenly, he didn't even fancy her back.

Sure, sometimes his friends made jokes about it and her friends somehow thought he did but it was obvious he didn't. He had hardly flirted with her this year, hadn't asked her out, and had been extremely polite and friendly. There was her problem. He was friendly. Friends. It was all they'd ever be. Of course, now that she knew she fancied him she'd be incredibly obvious and forced to avoid him for the rest of her life. Lily slumped back onto her bed and let herself drown in her misery.

*''*

"Lily?" of course, this somehow always seemed to happen. The boy of her many fantasies stood just outside her door sounding vaguely concerned like he actually might fancy her. Come on, Lily, don't be daft, she reprimanded herself. Fuck Alternate Universes.

"Come in." she called weakly, then of course mentally slapped herself. She should've told him she was tired. Or busy. But come in? James walked in gently, eyeing her scowl and rubbing his eyes wearily.

"Are you alright?" he asked and she nodded, the scowl quickly leaving her face and her eyes focused on something behind him. "You didn't come to dinner." no response, "We could go to the kitchens if you'd like?" he offered and she shook her head. He sat down on her bed and felt her tense up. "Come on, Lily, I'm not daft tell me what's going on."

"Nothing." she said and toyed with the blankets covering her lithe form, "Just maybe you shouldn't sleep with me tonight." she blushed at the words and James scratched his head, his heart sinking.

"Lily we're not doing this again. Is it because you kissed me? That was a friendly kiss on the cheek, Lily, you know it didn't mean anything to me. I'm not going to ask you out." he tried to reassure her quickly and saw an unreadable expression cross her face. It looked something akin to a mask. His heart sunk farther, what had he done this time? She rolled over turning her face away from him so he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine. Just go, I'm pretty tired anyway." she faked a yawn and he pretended not to notice that she was not in fact fine. He had always been bad at dealing with birds, especially when it came to Lily. He sighed and got up, moving away from her, "James?" she called hesitantly and he paused, hope soaring in his chest. She paused for a beat, too, before speaking again, "Close the door on your way out."

"Right-o." he saluted her and shut the door, slumping against it, a hand woven through his hair. Damn it, James, smooth. You should've asked her what's wrong or something you emotionless twat. You should've brought her up some strawberry shortcake, you know it's her favorite. He sighed in frustration, when was he ever going to get the girl?

It's back! I loved the first Alternate Universe so much I decided to make a second! Albeit, it's not as good but I still love Lily and her wacky mind. Poor James can't seem to learn. Sorry for all those who don't like short chapters. I'm currently suffering writer's block right now and everything is a process so have some grace and faith that I'll make it through! Thanks for all your love, reviews, and support. I love you all right back. Ta-ta!
