Lily lay in bed hours after detention, still smiling about how James looked with feathers sticking out of his head. Then with a sudden horror she found herself not thinking of James's feathered head, for which she got screamed at with various obscenities when he found out he had been duped. She was just thinking about James in general. The way he laughed, the way he smiled that impish little boy smile he had, the way his eyes twinkled when Sirius gave his coat to Channing. He had laughed and called Sirius "hen-pecked."
OH GOD!!!!! STOP THAT NOW, Lily thought sternly to herself. YOU WILL NOT BE THINKING ABOUT 'THE ENEMY' THAT WAY! Why not, a little voice at the back of her head nagged her. Why is James the enemy? He's charming, funny, smart, and... BIG-HEADED! STOP THINKING ABOUT LIKE THAT! JAMES IS BIG-HEADED, EGOTISTICAL, IMPOSSIBLE, IRRITATING, AND... AND?
Lily groaned. She used to have whole list of reasons why she hated James. In fact, she memorized them, could say them in four different languages, and she could sign them to the deaf. Now she could only think of four reasons, and they didn't even seem to bother her that much anymore, come to think of it. James was big-headed, but maybe he just needed someone he cared about so much that he would think about them before himself, to cure him of that. Same thing with egotistical. He was impossible, but now that she thought about it, so was she. He wasn't always irritating, usually just to her, and usually only because she was being irritating back. She let herself think for just one moment, one little moment, how a relationship with James would be. It definitely wouldn't be dull or everyday. It would actually be kinda nice.
WAIT A MINUTE! CAN WE STOP THAT TRAIN OF THOUGHT? There is no way for all the gold in Gringott's that I am going to fall in love with Potter! I need to have my head examined! Happy Acres here I come! Okay, so maybe a relationship with James wouldn't be THAT bad. Since I am apparently going nuts, off my rocker, missing a few cards short of a deck, having a few bricks short of a load, and since I have a few bats in the belfry, then maybe being with James is not that bad. I can't think of anyone who it would be more fun to go crazy with than him. Okay so maybe, only MAYBE, I actually might like him a teeny, tiny ittle bitty bit. Nothing is going to happen anyway, because he would NEVER, in a million years like me back. NEVER!
Saddened and tired by this thought she drifted off into an uneasy sleep, not knowing that a certain person in the boys dorm was thinking the same thoughts about her before he drifted off into an equally uneasy sleep.

REALLY REALLY LONG A/N(I wont be offended if you skip it!) Okay guys, I am so sorry bout the delay, but you know with school starting and ff.net being down I really got held up with this chapter! I am really SORRY! I did try to make it a good chapter, so please let me know if you like it or not, cause its in a different style than my usual writing. You can make me extremely happy by reviewing! So go ahead and review it to make my day special. I know you guys are waiting for some "real" romance, or the end but I have put so much work into this story that I don't think I can just pop out an ending without it being rushed or just ruining the good ending I have been working inch by inch toward. You wanna know what happens next? So do I! I actually have no clue what I am going to do since I don't plan before I write, I just write and shock myself as I go along.... Anyway I know that you are getting bored by me, so let me just say that I actually think this chapter was pretty good, of course you can take that cum grano salis(with a grain of salt) since I did write it.
Shout out: Katie I finally got it up! Aren't you just so proud of me? You better review, cause I am still mad at you about the pointless clicking page and I am very close to sending Fido to roast you! lol
Disclaimer: Can you believe I almost forgot to put this? OH THE HORROR!(Yeah right!) You know I don't own it, you know J.K. does. What's left to say?
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I REALLY WANNA KNOW AND I WILL LISTEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY GIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
