Chapter 2

"JAMES! What the hell are you trying to do? My God, I just about stopped breathing!" scorned Lily. Her face was extremely red with anger and her green eyes stood out more than ever.

"I'm, er, sorry Lily, I didn't mean to scare you, but I need to talk to you," said James.

"How about next time you just say 'Hey Lily can we talk?' that would make things a little easier," she said calmly, "what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, to be honest, I just wanted to say sorry for everything I have done to you in the past, which is a lot I know. Since it is our last year together, I think that we should put everything behind us and kind of start fresh. Er, if you want to," he said.

"James Potter, that is the nicest most intelligent thing out of a classroom you have ever said. I couldn't agree with you more." Lily smiled, so far this year was going ok, she just hoped that it would stay that way.

Becca and Sirius where still busy snogging when they heard a familiar 'meow'.

"Oh shit, Mrs. Norris found us, meaning Filch isn't far behind," said Sirius.

"Well, let's get the hell out of here then and finish this later!"

The two just barely missed running into Filch. They quickly ran towards the Gryffindor tower to meet up with their comrades. However, they didn't seem to get their fast enough, the bumped right into McGonagall.

"Good evening Professor McGonagall," said Becca politely.

"Good evening Ms. Speight, what are you doing frolicking with Mr. Black here?"

"Oh we were just taking a final look at the castle, after all it is our last year," said Sirius quickly.

"Thank God," mumbled the professor before going down the hallway they had just come from.

"She's probably the happiest that our 'group' is finally leaving this year," remarked Becca.

"Hell yea, well except for you, Lily, and Emily, goody two shoes," he replied.

Remus led Emily down a hallway she had never seen before.

"Where are we?" she questioned, however Remus didn't answer.

They soon turned a corner and went through a painting with a fairy upon it. They entered this immaculate room that had two beds and was like a house inside of Hogwarts.

"Wow, this place is amazing, how did you find this and why did you bring me here?" she asked while looking at the room.

"I just thought that this place was special, and I wanted to be in here with someone special," he replied.

"You know after 5 years of dating you, you still keep surprising me and continue being incredibly sweet," said Emily before giving Remus a deep and passionate kiss.

The two of them sat there gazing into each other's eyes lovingly, and stayed that way for a while.

Meanwhile, James and Lily were stuck in the classroom due to the fact that Filch kept going up and down the hallway.

"Don't you have your cloak?" questioned Lily.

"No, because I didn't think there'd be a problem trying to get out of here," he replied.

"I guess I can't blame you, who knew Filch was going to haunt this hallway. I wonder how long we'll be in here," she thought aloud.

"Knowing that crazy fool, probably all night, and the bad thing is, these floors aren't comfortable to sleep on and neither are the desks," said James talking from experience.

They soon heard two pairs of footsteps running down the hall, and then the door to the classroom flinging open and slamming shut.

"Do you think he saw us?" asked a familiar voice.

"I don't know Sirius, I wasn't paying attention," replied Becca.

"How about the two of you shut up and sit down, it's going to be a long night," interrupted James.

"Lily? James? What were you two doing in here?" smiled Sirius.

"Just talking, of course," replied Lily, coolly.

The four friends soon heard footsteps right outside their door. They then saw the lantern light slowly fading.

"That was close," breathed Becca.

"Oh yea, I forgot, you ladies aren't used to being trapped into a classroom while Filch is hanging around. Well we're here for the night, so get comfortable," suggested Sirius.

Becca soon fell asleep against Sirius. Lily and James looked on at their two friends.

"This is the longest I've seen Sirius stay with a girl," commented Lily.

"Yea, it's definitely a record for him. He does like her a lot though," added James.

"Well, I'm tired and since we've got classes tomorrow so I'm going to sleep, goodnight James," said Lily before yawning and taking off her cloak to use as a pillow. She curled up into a tiny little ball and fell into the depths of sleep, or so James thought.

He gently stroked her hair and put his cloak over her to keep her warm. He did have some feelings for her but wasn't necessarily ready for just coming out and telling her. She'd probably think that he was joking, after all they had just 'restarted' their friendship, he didn't want anything to go wrong this time.

Lily felt him caressing her cheek and stroking her hair. She didn't mind it at all. She actually enjoyed it. She had secretly always have feelings for James, but she was always afraid of making a fool of herself and she'd be rejected. The face of James Potter was in her dreams as she finally drifted off to sleep.

Emily and Remus sat quietly on a bed and were talking about anything and everything. That's one thing that made Emily so attractive to Remus, she could have intelligent and intellectual conversations.

"What do you plan on doing after Hogwarts?" questioned Remus.

"I'm not exactly sure yet, I'll let things happen as they come," she replied.

"That's a great way to look at, I've always thought I had to get a job and then married and then kids, you know," he said.

"Yea, that's the mold that has taken over the wizarding world. That and the amount of people after Lord Voldemort now. I hope I never have to encounter him," Emily said as chills went up and down her spine after she mentioned his name.

"You don't need to worry about him, someone will always be there to protect you," he assured her.

"You sound so sure about that," she smiled, "I'm exhausted, I think I'm going to go to bed."

"Sounds like a plan to me, goodnight sweetheart," said Remus before giving Emily a light kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight," she said cuddling with him.

Soon the couple were fast asleep in each others arms, unaware of the dangers that were to plague them and their friends.
