Lily Evans lay on the couch, reading a book. Her red hair was thrown about, glowing from the single ray of sunshine that seemed to make her hair glow.
James shook his head…he was James Potter, he wasn't falling for Lily, his friend Lily.
There was a part of him who was shouting at him, but the other part was shy.
They hadn't really been like Sirius and Ari, and DEFINITELY not like Remus and Maeghan. They were different. No one even knew James had a crush on Lily. That wouldn't be how it would stay, though…no. He, James Potter, would ask Lily Evans to the Christmas Ball.
That was that.
***
Maeghan was watching James, he was acting funny. He used to be out-going, funny, and friendly. Now he was shy, and secretive. It wasn't like him, it wasn't right.
Remus pulled Maeghan out of her thoughts.
"Maeghan… Are you in there." Remus waved a hand in front of his girlfriend's face. She was fine a few minutes ago, now her eyes had glazed over.
"Oh…sorry Remy," Maeghan smiled.
She gave him a kiss on the cheek, then explained what was wrong.
"Hmmm…now that I think of it, I think that you're right. I'll talk to James." Remus and Maeghan then went to the common room where they cuddled up in front of the fire.

"LILY!!" Maeghan called to her friend.
"Maeghan? What are you doin'?" Lily looked at her friend.
"We have to talk…about him…" Maeghan brought Lily into her room, and locked the door. She had already soundproofed the room.
"What?" Lily had been going to the Library.
"James likes you…you know that, don't you?" Maeghan looked at her friend.
Lily mumbled something, resembling a, "yes."
"Do you like him…"
Maeghan was cut off, "Well can you keep a secret?" Lily looked hesitant
"Of course Lils…what is it?"
"I…I'velikedJameseversince3rdyearandIdon'tthinkhelikesme!" Lily was insecure.
"I know how you feel…don't worry, Lils, everything will be alright." Maeghan hugged her friend, then opened the door. A scowling Ari fell into the room.
"Why did ya' hafta sound-proof it?" Ari scowled
"Ari…why are you here…" Maeghan looked at her cousin.
"Remus wanted me to tell you to meet him in the Great Hall, he has a surprise for you," Ari grinned, "I have a date with Amos…so I won't be able to chat…ta ta!" Ari ran out of the room.
"(Sigh) She's really breaking Sirius' heart you know." Moaned Maeghan.
"Yeah. And we both know that Amos is only dating her so that he'll get attention."
"Well, you have to admit, she's not bad in the looks department."
"I think that he's mostly dating her because of her eyes. Why do they change like that?"
Maeghan looked guilty of r a split second, and then changed the subject back.
"He's definitely eyeing Erin Berkshire, from Hufflepuff. I'll go have a 'chat' with him later. You know that if you go, Ari will know."
"Uh-huh." Maeghan said unhappily.
"I've always been bad at lying."
"That's not a bad thing."
"Yeah, but I'M the one who gets in trouble over pranks."
"Good point."

"Remus? Where are you?" Maeghan made her way through the Great Hall. A pair of hands went over her eyes.
"If this is Malfoy…" Maeghan growled.
"It's me…I can prove it." Remus lightly kissed her on the cheek.
"Oh, what's my surprise?" Maeghan sounded like a little girl at Christmas.
"More like WHO'S your surprise." Remus uncovered Maeghan's eyes to reveal a slim girl, about her height. She had light blonde hair, and bright blue eyes.
"This is Alanna, my twin." Remus looked at Maeghan
Alanna and Maeghan both grinned at each other.
"Wow! You're really twins? But you don't look alike!"
"Yes we're twins, but only fraternal, not identical. Remus keeps writing about you, and you're all he'll talk about during summer…we'll HAVE to talk, 'cuz I'm in Gryffindor too! I'm a transfer student. I'll be rooming in the 'Sunset' Room…"
"That's my dorm!"
"Cool! Now we can trade embarrassing stories about Remus!"
"Don't forget the other boys!"
The two girls happily skipped off, with identical evil grins
"What have I done?" Remus shook his head as he watched his girlfriend and his sister go.

Lily Evans was going down to dinner when Snape found her.
"Hello Lily." Lily turned around to face him
"Hello Severus, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just wondering if you would- ifyouwouldliketogototheballwithme?"
"Oh…Severus, that's nice…" Lily was interrupted.
"Sorry Sevy, Lily's going to the ball with me already." James interrupted.
"Oh…I am? Wha…" James clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Yes, I asked you yesterday…remember?" James smiled at her.
"Ohhh…yes that, well, bye Severus." Lily started to leave.
"Likewise Sevy!" James put a protective arm around Lily's waist. She leaned on his shoulder, then he leaned his head on hers (Calicat: I think you get the picture)
Snape's eyes narrowed, then he spun around, and walked back to the common room.
***
The ball was in two days, and no one had asked her, Maeghan smiled. Remus hadn't officially asked her yet, so she was single.
"Maeghan, I have a question for you." Remus saw Maeghan in her thinking position.
"Hmmm?"
"Would you go to the ball with me?"
"What?" Lucius Malfoy was also there, and he had asked at the same time.
"Sorry, I'll have to decide later…I have a Quidditch game… Oh! And Remus, I need to talk with you." Remus looked at Maeghan, and she kissed him.
"Bye Malfoy!" Maeghan called, and she pulled Remus to the Gryffindor common room.
