Chapter 4.
Lily paced her dorm room.
He's telling the truth. I know he is.
Then why can't you remember it?
[A/N the nasty voice inside everyone's head who contradicts everything you
think.]
Just because, okay?
Uh-huh, I'm sure.
Whatever. It's really fuzzy, but I think I
remember now.
Then what did you do?
I'm trying to think!
She sat on the edge of her bed and shut her eyes hard.
This had better be good.
I told you to shut up.
Whatever you say, Queen of the Flowers.
Shut it. Okay, I remember that it was my
idea—don't say anything!—and James put this charm on to close our eyes but
still be able to see. And I put the stillness charm on us. and then I remember
a bunch of the others coming in and seeing us.
Funny, I remember you wanting to kill Sirius.
Only if James didn't do it first!
So, you're thinking about Jamsie again,
aren'tcha?
No, you are.
Sorry, hon. You are. I'm sort of the same as
you.
Yeah. Whatever. I'm turning schizophrenic.
Sorry if you are.
Will you shut it yet?
Fine. I'm leaving you now, your majesty.
Oh great. That voice was right. I am thinking
about James too much again.
But I have to say: it was nice to sleep with him
for that short while.
No, it wasn't! Wait, it was. Oh great. I am turning
schizophrenic.
She lay back on her bed and felt like crying. Or screaming.
Just something to get her mind of James Potter.

Sirius and Remus were watching James bury his face in his
hands. He said something, but it came out muffled.
"Repeat please, lover boy," Sirius said.
"Don't call me that. And I said, 'Do you guys really think
we were playing a trick on you'?"
"Yeah."
"It crossed my mind many moments, but I didn't know if it
was the truth," Remus put in.
"Well, I don't happen to know either. That's sort of why I'm
asking you two guys."
"Why don't you tell us what you do remember, and we can try
to fill in the potholes," Remus suggested.
"Okay, I guess. Well, I remember putting a charm on myself
that made me able to see but have my eyes closed. And then I remember a
stillness charm. And then I remember falling asleep and waking up when you guys
said something about red hair."
Wasn't there some more? Like when you woke up
the first time, you thought Lily was pretty. And you wanted to kill Sirius.
"Only if Lily didn't first."
"Didn't what?" Sirius asked.
"Who did what?" James replied.
"You just said 'only if Lily didn't first' and I want to
know what she does."
"I didn't say that out loud." James blushed lightly.
"Uh, sorry, Jamsie-boy. You did too say it out loud," Sirius
informed.
"Note the blush," Remus murmured to Sirius. Sirius grinned.
"So, James, finally fell for the famous Lily Evans?"
"I did not!" James replied indignantly.
"You did too. And you're blushing again."
James, who had not been blushing, blushed. It seems that
Sirius's attempt at reverse psychology worked.
"I'm leaving."
He walked, not stomped, up to his dorm room.

A/N make sense? I have to write the 5th chap
still. Didn't eves start it. I have to do a parade of nations float for
Greece made out of a shoebox. I'm putting Mt. Olympus and Olympic stuff and the
flag. Stupid, I know. Well, even though Lily is turning schizophrenic and they
are both falling for each other, review!
Hey all. Sorry 4 the confusion; I 4got that I finished 2
chapters the other day and not just one. Well, this one's up now, so chill. C ya.
