After the sorting ceremony and the welcome feast, James, Lily, Sirius, Celeste, Remus and Emily all made their way up to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"So Jamsie, what's up with you and Lily?" Sirius said quietly as him and James led the way.
"Not really sure," James said absentmindedly. "All I know is that she really has changed over the summer."
Sirius looked back at Lily who was walking with Celeste. He quickly looked back to James and noticed the tired expression on his face. "God Sirius, I don't know what to do about this." James looked over at Sirius with a sad smile before saying the password to the portrait, and climbing into the common room.
Lily looked over towards the fire and saw James sit down in an armchair. She looked back at Celeste who smiled slightly. "Lily, just go talk to him."
Lily sighed before nodding and walking over to where James had sat down. "James we should talk about something."
Sirius, who had just sat down across from James, got back up, and walked up to the guys' dorms, slowly followed by Celeste, Remus, Emily and Peter.
James watched Sirius get up and leave and turned slowly to face Lily. "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
She sat down on the arm of the chair and sighed. She looked over at the group of second years who were giggling at the sight of the "Great and Wonderful" James Potter. She waited for them to go up to their dorms. Now they were all alone.
"James, you remember what happened last year on the train home from Hogwarts right?"
"Yea, how could I forget?"
"Well. Did that kiss mean anything to you? Or was it just a little joke for your own kicks or something?" Lily looked him straight in the eyes.
James wanted to look away. The truth was, that kiss did mean something. But he didn't want to look like an idiot by saying it did, and having it not mean anything to her. "Well, did it mean anything to you?" he asked her back.
"No James, we're not playing this game. I asked you first, so I want an answer," she said quickly.
"What would you do if I said yes?" he said slowly.
Lily looked away from James and her eyes glittered with the reflection of the flames. "I'd do this -" she said before she leaned down and kissed him. She pulled away when loud cheers and whistles came from the doorway of the 7th year guys' dorm. They looked up and saw Sirius grinning and whistling. "That's my boy James! That's my boy!" he said while laughing.
"Well, I'll see you later then," Lily said hurriedly and ran up to her dorm and shut the door.
James looked up at Sirius and grinned before leaning back in the chair, closing his eyes, and thinking about what just happened.

An hour later, Celeste kissed Sirius good night and made her way over to her dorm. When she opened the door she heard somebody crying quietly. She sighed before walking over to the bed on the very end and pulling back the curtains. Sitting on the bed looking through her 6th year scrapbook was none other than Lily. She looked up and started crying harder when she saw Celeste looking down at her. "Oh Celeste, I'm so stupid."
Celeste sat down next to Lily and hugged her. "No you're not. Don't say that." She was at a loss of words. Sirius told her that James liked Lily. A lot. But it drives him crazy that she acts like she doesn't want him.
"Lily. Do you like James, seriously?" Lily looked up and nodded. But before any words could come out of her mouth, Emily came bounding into the room. "CELESTE! SIRIUS. SNAPE. COME -- COME QUICK."
Celeste jumped up off Lily's bed and ran down the stairs, and out the common room portrait hole. She heard two people arguing loudly and hexes being said. She ran around the corner and saw Sirius standing over Snape. Snape was yelling profanities at Sirius and Sirius had a nice little smirk on his face. "What's that Snape? I can't hear you!" Before Sirius could hex Snape again, James came running around the corner, almost knocking Celeste over.
"Sirius, knock it off." Sirius looked up and saw James looking seriously mad.
Sirius lowered his wand and looked back at Snape with a look of disgust. "You got lucky this time," he whispered harshly to Snape. With that, he turned around, and walked down the corridor towards the astronomy tower. Celeste gave a quick look at James before running after Sirius.
James looked down at Snape, turned, and made his way back to the common room.
~*~*~*~*~
"Sirius Black! What the HELL was that about?!" Celeste exclaimed angrily while running after him. "Sirius! Don't ignore me! What did he even DO to you?!"
Sirius stopped dead in his tracks, grabbed Celeste and pulled her into a nearby classroom. "Be quiet." He whispered in her ear. He was staring at the door. Just then Mr. Filch's voice filled the corridor. "I know I heard those nasty little brats Ms. Morris (A/N - haha yes, it's M and not N)" Celeste started shaking slightly as his footsteps stopped right outside the door. Sirius pulled her into a nearby storage closet in the room. Just as the door of the closet was shut, the door of the classroom opened. "Aha! I got you little brats now!" By the time Filch got out the word "now", his voice was filled with disappointment. The door shut with a click.
Sirius loosened his grip on Celeste's waist. "You want to know about me and Snape? Well, make yourself comfortable, it looks like we'll be here for a few hours."
