A/N: Sorry, this took me a little longer than usual to put out. I've been working on my other story too. Anyway, thanks for your reviews, I appreciate it! Please, if you haven't already, do check out the other story too!

Quinn- I'm glad you still like it! Thanks for another review!

SAKURAnTOKYO- Thank you a million times, once again.

Kristatwen- I know what you mean. I don't enjoy writing about them being mad at each other either. Well, maybe a little…

Allie- I will, thanks!

Roxycanadian2002- Thanks a lot! Gosh, I really need another word for thanks…

Min Hee Ha- I'm happy you liked the chapter! Thanks for your review!

Phoenix6545- Sorry about there being so many Emily's, that's why I'm changing my name…

I mentioned in my other story already: I'm changing my pen name to Snoopy511 (a nickname) because there are so many Emilys and a few people have told me that they have trouble locating me again. So, just thought I'd let you know!

Chapter 19- Setting James Straight

James and Lily didn't enjoy it, but they were forced to work on their Transfiguration project with each other. So each night, they sat in the common room, arguing about it. They finally decided (a lot later than they should have) that they wouldn't transfigure it into a computer or a television, but rather a telephone.

After that, the real work was ahead of them. They had to figure out *how* to transfigure it. So they made plans to go to the library the next evening.

"So, how's the project going?" Sirius asked, seating himself in a nearby chair.

James grunted, and Lily scowled. "Fine." She mumbled. "Okay." He said.

"Sounds like you two are having a good time!" Jennifer added, appearing beside Sirius. "Have you finally decided what to turn it into?"

"Yes. A telephone." Lily said, sounding as if it were all her idea.

"Oh. Good idea." She paused, her blue eyes glittering. "Where are Chloe and Remus?"

Sirius grinned. "They disappeared again. Where ever *do* they go?"

"Well, I believe they're in our dorm right now, Sirius. Working, they say." James answered. "Why don't we go see about that?"

"Oh, let's." Lily said. "Chloe will kill us." She didn't look as if she much cared if Chloe got mad or not. So the four of them made their way up to the boys' dorm, throwing the door open when they reached it.

Inside, Chloe and Remus were very busy kissing on the floor. They both jumped up as the door slammed open, and looked at their friends sheepishly.

"Well well well. Working, you told me? I see that. Looks like you've gotten a lot done." James commented, winking at Remus.

"Oh, shut up. We *were* working, until about ten minutes ago." He blushed again, and started to study his shoes. Chloe, meanwhile, was glaring at the other two girls.

"You aren't supposed to spy on me! I'm surprised you had any part in barging in here like this!" she yelled at them.

Jennifer and Lily just grinned, exchanging glances.

**************************

Lily entered the library the next evening, and sat down to wait for James. He came up behind her, and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped.

"Well, you don't have to scare me like that!" she spat at him.

"Geez. Sorry." He said sardonically.

She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Come on. Let's go find some books that might have the right transfiguration in them."

They spent hours looking through old, molding books with titles like 'transfigurations made easy' and 'advanced transfigurations of today', before finally coming across the right one.

"Here it is, 'how to transfigure an object into a muggle telephone'" she read from a book that looked as if it would fall apart at any moment.

James leaned over her shoulder to read the page. She could feel his breath against her neck, and sighed. Who am I kidding? I love him so much; I just can't stay mad at him for long. But before she could say anything to him, he said, "Okay, I've got it down." He took the pillow in his hands and, muttering something, made it slowly turn black. A spiral cord emerged, and then all at once the pillow was something else.

"There! Good job, James!" Lily said excitedly. He looked at her in surprise; she was being nice! But then, remembering he was mad, he scowled at her.

"Well, you know what to say about how a telephone is useful. So we're done. I'll see you in class tomorrow." He said shortly, and left, taking the telephone with him.

Lily stared after him. He makes things so complicated!

*************************

Lily entered Transfiguration class with Jennifer and Chloe to find the boys already there. She approached James. Her smile faded when she realized that he was glowering at her. I'm just going to have to do something about that! I'll show him that he doesn't hate me any more than I hate him! But after class.

"Take your seats next to your partners, please, and be prepared to give your presentation." McGonagall addressed them with her usual solemn manner. "Sirius and Jennifer: you're first."

Sirius rose, holding a pencil. "This is what muggles use to write with. It's convenient because you need no ink, see, this little pointy thing" He touched the tip of the pencil. "writes. And this" he pointed to the eraser "erases if you make a mistake." (A/N: they always used ink and a quill in the Hp books, so I wasn't sure…)

Next, Chloe explained to the class about a microphone. Each group went on to explain about their object. Some had a tough time of doing it, since they didn't have any muggle borns in their group. Finally, it was Lily's turn to explain. She rose, holding the telephone in both hands.

"This is called a telephone. Muggles use it as a way of communicating. It's very quick. All you have to do is dial in a telephone number, which is a series of numbers, and it will connect you to that phone line. The person on the phone line that you called will pick up their phone (which rings) and you can talk through the phone lines that muggles set up." She sat back down carefully.

"Thank you, all of you. I thought this would be a good way to learn a little bit about muggles while dealing with transfiguration. You're dismissed. Before you leave, be sure to set your object on my desk." McGonagall told them, and sat down in chair.

**********************

The seventh year Gryffindors arrived in the common room that evening, happy that the day was over. Lily was about to approach James, to set him straight, but he and the other boys decided to leave for bed.

Lily sat for a moment before announcing, "That's it! I'm going up there right now!"

Chloe grinned. "Have you finally decided to make him see sense, instead of be angry with him?"

"Yes, I have! Excuse me!" she jumped up and walked purposefully up to the boy's dorm. She threw the door open to find James sitting on his bed staring at the wall. She approached him with a determined face.

"What are you doing here?" he yelled at her, glaring.

"James, I never kissed Chris! He kissed me! Why can't you just trust me?!"

"You looked to me like you were enjoying it when I came in! Why didn't you pull away?!"

"Because I was too surprised at first!"

"Yeah, right! Like I'm supposed to believe that!"

She walked over to him and yanked him up by his collar. She pushed him up against the wall, still holding on to his shirt.

"Wha-" he started, but she silenced him by placing her lips on his. He didn't respond at first, and started squirming. But then his arms snaked around her waist, pulling her closer. Lily felt her body warm all over. She could feel electricity running through her limbs from his body. It was perfect. She sighed when he pulled away.

He smiled at her. "Alright, I believe you now."

"Well, wasn't that a nice display! I say, Lily, I never knew you were so feisty!" Sirius and Remus were standing behind them, grinning profusely. "Would you like us to leave you two alone for awhile?" he suggested.

"No." she replied. "At least, not tonight." She added, glancing at James and grinning.
