Learning to Love
Lily's POV~
I wiped my tears away, put on a happy smile, and skipped down to the common room. Just as I had hoped, Sirius sat across from James, engrossed in losing another chess game. I tapped him on the shoulder. "Hmm?" he answered absentmindedly, not bothering to look up. "I need to talk to you," I said, trying to sound as sweet as possible without letting urgency creep into my voice. He sighed, "Alright, I'll just finish losing another chess game later." I dragged him off to the library then sat him down on a chair. "Now listen Si, I need you to help me with something…"
James's POV~
I looked up to see Sirius and Lily walk into the common room, Sirius's arm slung about her shoulders. A wave of jealousy rose, but I quickly fought it back down. I forced a smile to appear on my face, "So, where were the two of you?" Sirius grinned, "Well, James, Lily and I are going out." I had to use every bit of will power in my possession to keep from knocking Sirius round the head a few times. I attempted to force a grin out, finally giving up after failing. I managed a weak smile, however, "I-I'm really…happy for you." Lily smiled, Oh, and what a gorgeous smile it was too, and to my surprise, kissed Sirius on the lips. I choked out a laugh, my jealousy threatening to overwhelm me. I had to get out of there. Fast. Before I died of jealousy. After making some lame excuse to finish some already finished homework, I started up the stairs. As I reached the dorm door, I heard Sirius call out, "Don't forget about tonight, James." I could hear laughter and whispering, even through the closed door.
Sirius's POV~
I was about to die of laughter as I watched James's face try to mask the terrible jealousy I was sure he was feeling. In between bursts of laughter, I whispered, "You're coming with us tonight, right Lil?" She nodded, "I wouldn't miss it for the world," as a devious smile crept across her face. I couldn't help but feel almost sorry for James when hefound out hat Lily and I had planned for tonight.

James's POV~
I waited in the common room for Sirius to show. It would be just me and Sirius this time, Remus was "sick" and Peter was...well, somewhere. I heard a faint whispering, then saw Sirius emerge from the shadows. But not just Sirius. He had Lily at his side, who was giggling at some previous remark. I tried to grin, "Ready to go?" Sirius replied, apparently confused, "What do you mean, go?" At the look of puzzlement on my face, Sirius hurried to explain, "Well, we came down here a while ago to wait for you, but you weren't here, so we went without you."
This time, I didn't bother to hide my anger, "YOU WHAT?!" Lily shrugged, "It's no big deal. But you should've seen the look on the Slytherins' faces when the dung bombs went off! We planted so many around, that they're going to smell for weeks!" she finished gleefully. Normally, I would have been just as happy as her, but my best friend had stolen the girl I loved, AND THEN, ditched me for her when we were supposed to attack the Slytherins! I couldn't take this anymore. No more. If Lily was going to wage war on me, she'd get her share of it. Sending one last glare at Lily and Sirius, I stormed upstairs to get some sleep…not to mention think up a bunch of terrible things to do to Lily. I went to sleep eventually, to wake the next morning, breaking out in cold sweat, panting in fear of nightmare I'd had…it WAS just a nightmare…right?
A/N: I know, too short, but I'm really busy. Hope to add other chapters later. Thanks to everyone. And, I want y'all to know that although I will never actually abandon a story until finished, I want at least another 3 (I'm not THAT bad…yet) reviews before I write the next chapter. Just wanna know if it's really worth putting effort into this. Thanks again.
