Chapter 24

"I can't believe that night in the Hog's head, you know the whole school will be talking about it." Liz said excitedly as they walked to platform 9 3/4 to get on the Hogwarts express back to Hogwarts.

Katie rolled her eyes "Honestly Liz you crave attention."

"Yeah and it's not like you get the most attention anyway, you're like the most popular girl in school." Lily sighed.

"umm, yeah what ever lily you know you are the most popular." Liz said raising her eyebrows high at her. Lily blushed. "And you know you had the two most popular guys in school wanting you that night in the hogs head. I think that maybe that will boost you're popularity just a bit. Not that you need that boost anyway."

"What are you on about?" Katie enquired with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm not quite sure." Liz said giggling which caused the two girls to laugh with her.

Lily looked around desperately for James or Sirius. She hadn't seen James since he left her after they found Sirius. James and he still hadn't forgiven one another. Her and Sirius weren't getting on exactly brilliantly either. They had hardly spoken the night Lily had stayed and she went home early the next day. She did not understand why he had tried to kiss her. It did not make sense. Sirius had been one of her best friends from when they had first met. Sure they had a little romantic thing when they first met but that was just lust. They were now friends and it was just weird. When he had kissed Lily she felt like her brother had kissed her or something. Now when James kissed her she felt something. She loved James. She did not ever want to be without him. It hurt her so much when they split up and when they got back together it was the best feeling in the world for her.

"Oooo look who it is," Katie murmured into her ear.

"lover boy." Liz giggled to Katie. Lily swivelled her head round to see who was there. Coming towards them was an older looking James and Remus.

"Wow they've matured over the holidays." Said Katie excitedly. It was true James had got better looking over the holidays. Lily also noticed that several first years were giggling and looking their way.

"So what's going out with you and Remus?" Lily asked Liz.

Liz didn't have time to answer because Remus had picked her up swung her round and was now kissing her.

"Guess that kind of answers my question then." Lily said to herself.

"you alright babe." she heard James whisper to her while wrapping his arms tightly round her waist.

"Oh hey," she said back and gave him a hug. She saw the group of first years who were admiring James and Remus earlier looking flabbergasted behind him. Lily giggled.

"What?" James asked.

"Looks like you have a fan club and they don't look very happy that I'm with you." Lily said laughing and nodding in their direction. James looked over his shoulder at the girls and they all immediately started doing their hair.

"I think I'm going to go over and thank them for the support but let them know that I'm not signing autographs tonight." He let go of her and swiftly made his way over to the girls who looked like they were going to pass out sometime soon.

"Nice to see Potter has such a big an base." Someone said spitefully behind her. Lily spun around to see Sirius standing there.

"Oh Sirius." Lily said sternly "Stop being so pathetic."

"I need to talk to you Lily come on can we go somewhere a bit more private." Sirius said changing the subject and staring over her head in the direction of James to see if he was watching.

"What about?" Lily asked not moving.

"Come on it's important." Sirius said hurriedly. Lily was hesitant but when Sirius flashed her that gorgeous smile she couldn't resist him. He took her onto the train and into an empty compartment. Sirius sat down and gestured for Lily to sit opposite him.

"I'm sorry." he blurted out. Lily stared at him.

"for what?"

"for kissing you I didn't mean it, it is just that I really really like you."

"I like you too but just not in that way. I'm sorry."

"I know that now, well i suppose that deep down in my heart i knew always that you didn't like me that way. I just had to give it a try anyway, just in case you know."

"I know, and don't worry about it. So we can now just go back to being friends again." she leaned over and hugged him.

"You know that James is really lucky to have you Lily." Sirius said quietly. Lily blushed.

"Thank you."

Just then the compartment door burst open and James came storming in.

"SIRIUS!" He shouted.

"James look.." Sirius started.

"WHY IS LILY HERE. BEEN TRYING TO KISS HER AGAIN HUH?"

"James don't shout it makes you sound like a maniac." Lily giggled.

"Well why were you here?" James asked lowering his voice a little.

"I was just talking to Sirius."

"about what."

"About how you and him should be friends."

"Why should we?"

"Because you know in the hogs head when me and him kissed."

"yes." James said angrily glaring at Sirius.

"Well i made the first move."

"WHAT!?!" both Sirius and James shouted together.

"I know you think that Sirius kissed me but he didn't, I kissed him."

"welll...." James said shuffling. looking down at his feet.

"So you shouldn't be mad at Sirius because it's my fault." She heard a lot of whispers from the people who had formed behind James to watch the argument.

"I don't know what to think Lily ok? I'll decide later." James said a confused look on his face. He turned and walked down the train pushing past the crowd of people on the way

"What the hell was that?" Sirius asked looking at me open mouthed. "you so did not kiss me."

"I know that." Lily smirked. "But you too have to make friends some time don't you. I'm just speeding up the process."

Sirius winked at Lily. "you sure are one hell of a girl."
