Author's Note: Thanks bunches for all the *Great* reviews. I will try to be
getting as *many* chapters out as I can before Thursday because I'm going
on vacation for a week. But while I'm suffering through a 9 hour car ride
(help me) I will be thinking up some ideas. Also, since I'm leaving for a
week, my teachers want all these projects turned in *before* I leave, so
I'll be busy doing those this week. So I should be able to get three more
chapters in before I leave, or at least I'm hoping!
Summary: Lily Evans & James Potter are the least likely couple. They've hated each other since the 1st year. Lily claims that she'd never fall in love with a stranger, but what happens when she thinks she does, but really she has known him for 7 years.
Disclaimer: Once and again, I do NOT own any of these characters. They all belong to the wonderfully talented, J.K Rowling! If you don't recognize any other characters…then I made them up. Get that? Okay
Oh, and I am NOT slow! I just have the tendency to get writers block! Sorry I just had to put that out!
Now onto chapter 3, enjoy!

Chapter 3.
Tiger Lily? James pondered. 'Tiger Lily, Tiger', James mind flooded with possibilities. Tiger must have gotten her name from this book! No, no, no! James flipped to the front of the book, and looked at the past people who had checked the book out. The names were listed:
Diggory, Amos. 9/13
Sadler, Charles. 9/21
Johansson, Emily. 10/16
Lockhart, Gildory.11/21
Derricks, Danielle. 11/23
James flipped through and the last person who had checked this book out was, Danielle Derricks. Danielle was Hogwarts most popular girls, and was always trying to impress James. Sirius would usually flirt with her off and on, and James would give her his smile, that made all the girl's hearts swoon.
James slammed the book shut, and grinned to himself. So, it was Danielle Derricks. He quickly put the book away, and grabbed his bag. He ran out the library as fast as he could. Thank god that all his training for Quidditch had finally paid off. His feet were aching, as he ran into the Great Hall, and found his seat by Sirius and Remus.
"Jeez, James. Whats up with you?" Sirius asked giving James a glass of pumpkin juice, because James looked as though he had run a couple miles without rest.
"I-I found her, Moony!" James finally got out, as he wiped the excess pumpkin juice off his mouth with his sleeve.(a/n: don't you just hate it whens he wiped the excess pumpkin juice off his mouth with his sleeve.d run a couple miles without rest. guys do that?)
"Found who?" Sirus asked bewildered.
"I found Tiger! Well at least I know who she is. Well I figured out this when I was looking in the library…" James told Sirus and Remus the whole story. Evidentially James had to tell Sirius about the whole Owl-Pal thing.
"You hypocrite!" Sirius exclaimed the second James was done finishing his story. "But I can't believe that it's, Danielle Derricks! Can you imagine that!? James's soul mate, Danielle Derricks." Sirius said her name as if she was a goddess.
"Don't be such a twit, Padfoot." Remus started. "James, honestly, don't get me wrong or anything, but I really doubt that Danielle has 'that' much of an extensive vocabulary, as your Owl friend, Tiger does. I mean Danielle is in Hufflepuff. Not all the most 'brightest'(a/n: Moony means that in the nicest possible way!) of all sorts."
"Moony! How can you say such an atrocious thing!? Just because Danielle doesn't show good marks in her studies does NOT mean that she doesn't have an extensive vocabulary!"
"God James, for being Head Boy, your not as bright as everyone thinks you are!" Remus shouted! (a/n: sorry for interrupting…but I think that Remus is hiding something from James…don't you think? B/c Remus never tells off one of his best friends!)
Sirius sat there in shock at his two best friends. Usually it was Sirius and James who got in a quarrel if there ever was one. Never had Sirius seen Remus act so violent to anyone. Remus was perfectly happy this morning, but what had happened from this morning and clear to this moment, was oblivious to everyone but Remus.
James also sat in shock for what Remus had said, so James said the first words that came to his mouth.

Three hours earlier…(a/n: You get to see what happened to Remus three hours before dinner)
Remus jogged around the castle, the wind whipping in his face. He felt as though he had been running miles, so he ran down to the lake. As soon as he reached the water, he noticed a figure lying on the grass with her eyes closed. The sun reflected off her long red hair. Remus walked slowly over to her, he walked a bit slower then normal, do to the fact that he was completely parched.
He sat down beside the girl, carefully though so that she wouldn't hear him, and was about to tickle her when…
"Don't you dare Remus Lupin!" Lily Evans said opening her eyes and smiling.
"Why, hello, Lily, it's a pleasure seeing you out here!"
"Oh don't play innocent with me!" She kidded flicking him with her finger.
"Well fine then, I'll act serious and mature. So, Lily, what were you thinking about, before I bumped into you." Remus asked seriously. Lily thought for a second, and paused. Finally she said something.
"Well, to be honest I was thinking about…love." Lily stated.
Remus raised his eyebrow. "Love?"
"Yes, 'love', Remus! Do you think that it's possible to fall in love with a stranger?" Lily asked looking out into the lake.
"Well, yes…and no. I guess. No. I'm not sure." He replied smiling.
"You see, I think I've fallen for a stranger, and I don't know if it's good thing or a bad thing."
"Well, what kind of stranger?" Remus asked trying to interfere with her personal life.
"I think your going to laugh at me when I say this." Lily started, averting her eyes from him.
"Now, you know I wouldn't do that, Lil." Remus stated with sincerity.
"I-I've fallen for a guy over that service called Owl-Pal." Lily said rather quickly.
"W-what?" Remus asked shocked.
"I 'SAID' I've fallen for a guy over Owl-Pal." Lily said again slowly.
"Does he go to Hogwarts?"
"Yes."
"Do you think you know who he is?"
"No of course not."
"Do you think he's a Slytherin?" Remus asked grinning.
"Ugh! I hope to god not!!!!" Lily screeched.
Then something dawned on Remus's mind that hadn't quite before. His mind flooded with possibilities, but he kept turning them down. There was no way that this could be-?
No, no, no, there is not the slightest chance-
"Lily, do you mind if I see your right knee?" Remus asked shyly. He suddenly remembered the last letter he'd read of James from Tiger.
"W-what? Are you out of your mind Remus?" Lily asked raising her eyebrow.
"Lily! Please, it's really important!" Remus asked almost like a vagabond.
"Well, I guess so, if you absolutely need to. Although I don't know why you have to see my knee. Unless you have a strange fascination with woman's knees…then I might advise you to get professional help." Lily laughed at the thought.
Remus laughed at her joke too. "Ok, can I take a look?"
"Alright go ahead." Lily pulled up her jean leg, and let Remus look for whatever he wanted to see.
Remus looked over her knee until he found exactly what he was looking for…
A scar.
Remus's mouth dropped, and he felt as though he had the wind taken out of him.
"L-lily? M-might I ask you a question?"
"Well you've already seen my leg; I don't suppose a question might be any worse." Lily replied jokingly.
"When did you get this scar?"
"Oh, I fell down the stars when I was eight, it's a rather funny story you know."

End of Chapter Three!!!! *jumps up and down, b/c she's so happy* Jeez I'm so happy I got this done! Thanks again for all who R/R! I love you all soooo much!! I loved how James was a bit dense about the whole Tiger Lily thing. It gave the story a bit of a twist.
