Lily walked past the guards guarding the doorway of her building and walked up the stairs. She took out her key and opened the door to her apartment. She found Remus and Sharon sitting on the couch. Remus was weeping and Sharon was looking like Peter had killed her best friend (which he did eventually).
" What happened?" asked Lily.
" You know Snape is the potion master apprentice," said Sharon quietly, ' he told Susie that-"
" I was a damn werewolf! She got scared and rang me up- RANG ME UP! – To tell me she didn't want to date me any more! Now she's going out with that bastard Diggory! Oh, why did I go out with her?"
" Because you loved her, honey."
" No, I don't! She is the worst thing I've ever been with!"
" Don't say that! You're just upset."
James came in, covered in sweat, followed by Sirius.
" Remus! What's up, buddy?"
" Susie found out."
" About what?"
" Werewolf."
"Ohhh."
James notice Lily was there, and shifted uncomfortably. Lily was looking at her skirt. Remus, Sirius and Sharon had forgotten Susie and were silently giggling. Nether James or Lily noticed that. Sharon cleared her throat.
" I think I'll go for a walk."
" In the rain?" sneered Sirius, " I'll go too!" they closed the door and ran as fast as they could downstairs, where they laughed. Then they apparated into Sharon's room and pressed their ears against the door to the lounge. Remus was just saying he was going to ring up Susie to see whether she would reconsider him. Then he left. A moment later he was listening in Sharon's room too.
James moved the magazine, which had Lily's face on it, off the couch and sat down next to her. They both were uncomfortable. James murmured, "So, Lily, um, what are you doing tonight?"
" Are you asking me on a date?"
"Kinda."
" Why do you want to go out with me?"
James hesitated. No one had ever asked him that before. They had just said yes strait away. If Sirius were there, he would have told Him to say I love you. But he wasn't. So James said, what he thought was a complement that he often said to his dates, " Because I think you're cute."
Sirius groaned. Sharon clamped her hand over his mouth. Lily was glaring at James. She shouted angrily, " I have ears and eyes you know. And I got 14 N.E.W.T's, so you can't say I'm stupid. You dated Anne Thames because she had a body. Then you dated Carrie Chang because she was Head Girl. Not to mention Danielle Gildory, because of her brother. Now you want to date me because I'm famous!" and she ran out of the room. James stared behind her, to upset to speak.

Sharon came into Lily's room and smiled slightly. Lily was writing a song. She always did when she was upset. When her Father had died she had come up with ' you're not in love with her' and when her sister had got married she had wrote ' just you and not them'. Lily had been upset over the wedding because she wanted some one to look after her, and she knew Petunia had married for money. Sharon walked over to Lily and asked, "what's wrong, Hon?"
" James. He wants to go out with me because I'm famous."
"You sure?"
"Of course! Why else would he want to?"
" I don't know; cos he loves you?"
" Yeah right Sharon! Since when do guys wanna go out with me because I'm lovable? Since you've been called Eliza!"
Sharon went out of the room and giggled. Her middle name was Eliza.
