1 FRIENDS FOREVER



' "O happy dagger. This is thy sheath, there rust and let me die..." ' Lily stabbed herself with the knife, then fell over onto James and stayed perfectly still and silent.



There were a few moments of silence, then the crowd stood up and clapped wildly as if they were at a Quidditch match.



The curtain closed on James and Lily and they sprung up onto their feet quickly. 'We did it, James! Nothing went wrong, it was perfect!' Lily grinned and couldn't stop bouncing.



James grinned and kissed her lightly on the cheek. Then the rest of the cast rushed onto the stage and they all joined hands. The curtain re-opened and everyone bowed to the magical roses that were appearing onto the stage by the thousands.



Lily spotted her mum and laughed. Mrs Evans was still crying!

'Butterbeer for everyone!' shouted Remus and Sirius, rushing into the common room handing out drinks.



'You were really good, Lils! Well done,' said Remus handing her a butterbeer.



Lily grinned. 'So were you!' she laughed. Remus, Peter, Sirius, James, Lily, Fiona and Terra all gathered round in a circle.



Peter laughed. 'To you all! Great show guys!' Everyone laughed and drank their butterbeer.



The next day was Sunday, and since everyone had stayed up all morning there was no one about in the common room, except Lily. She was standing by the window looking out at the lovely view.



Lily sighed and smiled. She was very happy. She had great friends, she had re-discovered her love for acting, her grades were excellent, and, of course, she had the best boyfriend she could possibly ask for. She loved James so much.



Suddenly an arm grabbed her round the waist and she jumped. 'James!' she shouted turning round. Then she smiled. 'Hi.'



'Hi. What are you doing up so early.'



'Oh, you know me, rise with the sun and all…'



James laughed. 'Yeah, 'cause you're such a morning person!'



'I just couldn't sleep that's all,' Lily laughed.



James grinned. 'Why, missing me so much? Couldn't possibly sleep without me? Without my, dashing looks! I'm brilliant at Quidditch! And not to mention, I'm a terrific kisser…'



Lily silenced him with a kiss. James laughed and pulled away for a moment. 'Obviously, I was right…' he whispered, then leaned in again.



I love him so much, thought Lily. NOTHING can go wrong…





Chapter One:



'So, Lils. You good? Great. Me too. Hey, my parents won the lottery at the weekend! You know what that muggle lottery thing is don't you? Your parents are muggles aren't they? Yeah. Well guess what they're gonna buy with all the money? A dog! Yes that's right. A five million pound dog. Oh yeah, and they bought the moon. Heard it was up for sale and all, so…'



Fiona put her hand up to her mouth to stop her from laughing. She, Terra, Remus, Sirius and Lily were walking to DADA together. Peter and James said they'd meet them there. Lily seemed to be in a dream.



'…and then of course mum came across this huge gigantic fish…' continued Sirius to Lily, who wasn't listening to a word he was saying, and was just nodding occasionally and giving the odd 'hmm' every now and then, '…and he nearly ripped her to pieces! If it wasn't for you-know-who, who seemed to have a change of heart and rescue her, she'd be dead by now! And…and, it's so upsetting…she could be dead, Lily! Oh my god…' Sirius faked a wail and pretended to cry drastically into his hands.



'Hmm,' said Lily.



'Lily! How could you be so insensitive!' Terra said stopping Lily and putting her hands on her hips. 'Look at poor Sirius! His mum nearly died and you don't care!'



Lily shook her head. 'Sorry, what did you say Terra? His mum is dead? Why…how!' Everyone burst out laughing except Sirius who continued to cry into his hands.



'Lily! Weren't you listening? By a huge killer fish they found on the moon!'



Lily looked shocked momentarily, then thought about it for a moment, and understood the joke. She smiled at herself and shook her head.



Sirius laughed. 'Where the hell were you, Lils? Australia?'



Lily sighed. 'Sorry, Sirius. I was just…thinking.'



'…about…who I wonder?' Remus stroked his invisible beard.



Everyone grinned. 'So, how is James lately?' asked Fiona.



Lily shook her head grinning and walked off. 'We're gonna be late for DADA,' she called behind her.



'Oh, I wonder why she wants to get there so quickly…' muttered Remus smiling. They continued walking and laughed at their friend. Sirius lagged behind a bit. His smile had faded, and right then, he wasn't happy.



* * *



'Hi James!' said Lily running up to James who was standing outside the classroom for DADA.



'Hey baby,' he said turning to face her and twirling her round in the air.



The kissed briefly then stopped as the rest of the gang turned up.



'What have you done to my friend, James?' demanded Terra.



James looked confused. '…What HAVE I done…?'



'She lost her hearing thanks to you!' Everyone laughed except James who looked confused, and Sirius, who went unnoticed.



'What…' asked James confused.



Lily laughed. 'Never mind James. It doesn't matter.' Then Professor Gills came and they all went in to the lesson.



* * *



On Saturday they all went to Hogsmede. Lily bought a present for her mum (a talking diary) who's birthday was coming up, and sent it off in the post office. Remus and James stocked up on their goods in the joke shop and then they all headed off to the Three Broomsticks.



Everyone sat down at a table and they sipped their drinks. Sirius kept looking round anxiously.



James noticed and looked up. 'What's wrong, Padfoot?' he asked.



Sirius gave him a look then muttered, 'Nothing, PRONGS.'



James and Remus raised their eyebrows at each other. 'Ok, fine, whatever…' mumbled James.



Sirius laughed. 'Yeah, that's your answer to everything isn't it, mutthead. Let's just let everyone sort their own problems out.'



James looked at Sirius confusedly. A few people in the pub had overheard and looked over at the table to watch.



'Sirius, what's wrong?'



'What's wrong…' Sirius muttered. He stood up angrily. 'What's wrong?!' he yelled. Now everyone in the Three Broomsticks watched the two. The bartender looked anxious, but nosey at the same time, so did nothing to stop Sirius.



'Yes, what the hell is wrong with me, James? Hey, James, my main man. Best buddy for seven f***ing years! Come on matey-boy, what is wrong with me eh? After all, you should know. Best friends know stuff don't they…'



'…Sirius…' said James getting angry.



'Sorry, but I'm not done quiet yet, JAMES. Why don't you know what's wrong with me, hmm? Too busy f***ing your girlfriend there for any chance?'



Lily winced. She didn't wanna be an excuse for an argument. What was wrong with Sirius? What was going on?



'Yeah, you just sit there and don't so anything, your highness. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. After all, some one might accidentally yell at you…'



'Sirius, leave her out of this…'



'Out of what, MUTTHEAD. You don't even know what's going on do you? So why the hell worry about her. After all, she's just your little play toy…' James stood up and reached for his wand.



At this the bartender walked over.



'Come on now boys, no need for fighting. Come on, Black. I think you'd better leave.'



Sirius didn't even turn to look at the bartender. He just stared at James frowning. 'Don't worry. I was just leaving,' he said, and walked out of the pub.



Everyone watched Sirius go, then turned to stare at James. 'You all right, Potter?'



James continued to stare at the door, then shook his head and sat down. 'I'm fine, thanks.' The bartender walked off, and soon everyone forgot what had just happened.



'What was that about?' asked Lily looking at James.



James simply sat in his seat and said nothing.





A/N: are you confused yet? WELL YOU SHOOD B!!! hee hee…I like making peepol gess. Peez tell me wot u think is goin on in ur REVIEWS!!! PEEZ REVIEW! Btw, I realise this is in the same chappie as the prologue, and doesn't need to be, but I felt like it. It'll be less confusing that way, without chapter one being in chapter two and so on.
