A/N Hey Thanks for the reviews once again. I really love to read them and they help me with my stories.
Disclaimers: I don't own anyone but Kate, Maddie, Snape's girlfriend, and the Potions teacher.
Lily collapsed in her bed. What a night.
Maddie sat down nexto to her.
"Lily?"
"Yea?"
"Do you like James? You can tell me you know," said Maddie.
Lily tried to find words in her cluttered mind. No! She told herself. It was Cupid's fault.
"No, Maddie, I don't."
"Than how come you kissed him like that?" Maddie asked reasonably.
"I know now that it was Cupid. He was probably mad at me for underpaying him so he put a love potion on me for the time. Now I hate James again. It was so obviously one. And he tried to make everyone think we're a couple because of we didn't pay him enough. Screw Cupid."
"Oh," said Maddie. Maddie accepted the answer. Afterall, in all the years Maddie knew Lily, Lily never lied to her. Why would she now?
"I'm going to bed," stated Maddie.
"Alright," replied Lily. She started falling to sleep and James face came in her mind. No! thought Lily. instead she replaced it with Sirius's. Or at least tried to. Beacause they still had that date tomorrow...
In the boy's dorm...
Sirius barged through the door and plopped himself on James's bed.
"You should of told me you liked her," yelled Sirius, extremely upset.
"Huh?" asked James. His brain wasn't functioning right after that Kiss. He even thought about it with a capital letter now.
"James!!!!!!!!" screamed the usually easy going Sirius.
"What???" asked James.
"You like Lily!"
"I do?"
"Don't play dumb on me."
James looked at Sirius who really looked upset. He made his friend like this. Because of some girl. So what if Lily could kiss. That didn't mean anything. He thought back to all their fighting. What was wrong with him tonight. He didn't like Lily! He just liked to fight with her.
"Sirius," James started, "I don't like her. I really thought I was kissing Maddie. And don't believe dumb ol' Cupid about match making." It was just a little lie, thought James. He had to make sure his friend knew he didn't like Lily.
"Really?" asked a skeptical Sirius.
"Really," replied James.
"Then your ok if I go out with her?"
"Errrr..." said James stupidly, "of course." As he said that he felt a stab in his heart. Tired, he told himself. He fell asleep and dreamt of a girl. In the morning, he told himself it was Maddie.
After breakfast the next morning, Sirius led Maddie to the boy's dorm room. She walked in and discovered it was a disaster. Four beds along the wall ran along three of the walls and a two huge dressers sat against the fourth wall. one dresser had drawers hanging out of it with clothes falling out. The other was pretty neat, just a little dusty. One bed silver and red covers. The covers were strewn across the bed in a complete mess. Boxers and robes covered the bed. Lily giggled at a certain pair of boxers. It looked like it had a bunch of drunk owls on it.
The next bed was black and white. Boring. It was pretty neat and it had some books on it.
The bed after that was extremely neat. It had deep navy covers which were tucked in perfectly. It had a moon charter on it along with some Defense Against the Dark Arts books.
The last bed was almost as messy as the first one and it was so neon orange and yellow that it kind hurt Lily's eye. It didn't surprise Lily when Sirius told her it was his.
Sirius bent down into a small chest at the foot of the silver and red bed. He pulled out a thin silvery cloak. His hand disappeared when he pulled it out.
"Invisibility coat," gasped Lily.
"Yea," replied Sirius, "just don't tell James you saw it. He's kill me."
"Ok," said Lily who barely acknowledged it because she was still gaping at the cloak. And she was thinking, why doesn't James trust me? Oh right. Who'd trust an enemy?
Sirius and Lily were walking through Hogsmeade on that Saturday, successfully getting out of school through the one-eyed witch statue, thanks to the cloak. She wondered if James used the cloak alot to get to Hogsmeade. Oh yes, she thought and added, I wonder if Sirius does too.
They were holding hands and running into Zonko's. They restocked on their prank materials and headed to the Owlery.
"I've always like the smallest owls the best," commented Sirius, "They seem to be the strongest and most loyal."
Lily and Sirius headed in for some butterbeer and talked until nightfall. They set up a date for Sunday and were becoming closer and closer.
A few days passed and Sirius and Lily were coming back from walk. They were standing in front of the fire and were holding hands. James couldn't sleep and was about to go into the common room, but stopped when he saw them. He just froze up and couldn't move.
"I had a really nice time," said Sirius, looking down at Lily.
"Me too," said Lily.
Sirius leaned down to kiss Lily. Finally James unfroze and turned to run. Misery and jealousy took over his heart.
Lily was kissing Sirius, but her mind was somewhere else. Where are the sparks like with James? Stop thinking of James! You're kissing Sirius! she thought. She felt no excitement, but just warmth and comfort. Sirius pulled away. He looked a little confused.
"I should get going," said Sirius.
"Yea. Me too," said Lily quietly.
They both headed upstairs.
I've kissed alot of girls and I know that Lily's a good kisser, but there was nothing there, Sirius thought. He didn't want to ruin their friendship, but they didn't belong together. Maybe Cupid was right, thought Sirius bitterly. Then he thought of Maddie, but decided the Lily thing needed to come first.
When he got in the dorm, everyone appeared to be sleeping. Sirius climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Sirius and Lily smiled at each other, but wouldn't talk. They tried to avoid each other. They both knew they didn't belong with one another. James just avoided the whole crew.
That night, none of the girls were tired so they started shring secerts which eventually led to telling about their kisses.
Kate was first. She shyly talked about her amazing kisses with Remus. She said she'd never felt anything like them before.
Maddie talked about her kisses with some boys here and there. She said nothing was really special.
Sally talked about her amazing kisses with all these different boys. She was obviously lying.
When it was Lily's turn, everyone turned in to hear about Sirius. Lily talked about her kisses with James, but inserted Sirius's name.
The girl's kept talking about their kisses and Lily silently went down into the common room to sleep.
James was really upset. He usually was always happy and cheerful, but that kiss really got to him. He decided he needed to have some cheering up. Tomorrow he'd use the truth-telling potion he bought at Zonko's a while ago. Yes, he decided. Who should I use it on? he thought. As to answer his question, he herd a scream. He knew that scream. It was in his nightmares... James ran down to the common room.
