After dinner, Lily and Bea headed up to the Gryffindor common room. They were both extremely full, and they took seats by the fire and collapsed, stuffed and tired.

"We haven't seen eachother in months! We need to have a girl talk! Come on nobody is in here." She grinned, seeming much more awake. Lily's eyes also widdened, and she smiled.

"Ya… Ya, we need to have our weekly girl talks again!"

"Okay, okay. So I saw someone staring at you during dinner…" said Bea, with an ever widening grin on her face.

"REALLY?" she said laughing insanely. "Who?" she asked frowning.

"Well there was the usual. Severus Snape…" she said thinking about it.

"Oh no, not again? Isn't he over me yet? Isn't it, like a phase, and supposed to pass? URGH! Well go on… who else was staring?"

"Well actually I think I saw a couple other guys staring…" she said thinking harder.

"Oh come on then, tell me!" she said throwing her arms up in frustration.

"Well there was James Potter… you know… the quidditch star? And there was your study-buddy Remus. I think you were giving him false hopes with the library stuff." She said looking serious.

"How? All we did was study together and become friends." She said hautly, and beginning to pout.

"Well never mind that… you got your eye on anyone this year?" Bea asked quickly changing the subject.

"Maybe…" said Lily slyly.

"Come one then, I'm going to find out anyway, you're an open book Lils!" she said laughing.

Lily blushed and said, "I know…" and then stared at the fire. *sure, James is cute but do I like him? And poor Remus! I have to make all of this alright* she thought desperately. Then she said, "But I just need some thinking time, alright?"

"Sure, Lils." She said giving an understanding smile.

Little did the girls know who was standing in the door way. Or how long, they had been standing there.

"Did you see that? How it just shattered like that?" said Sirius excitedly.

"That was pretty good wasn't it?" said James cooly. Remus had nodded once to show vauge agreement, and Peter had nodded vigerously.

"Come on guys, let's go to the common room." Said Remus yawning. "I'm beat!"

"Alright, alright. I'm pretty tired myself." Laughed James.

They had reached the Fat Lady, and given her the password, when Remus stopped them. "What the hell-?" said Sirius, but Remus hushed them. Some girls were talking, and he recognized one of the voices as Lily Evans'.

"Okay, okay. So I saw someone staring at you during dinner…" said Bea, with an ever widening grin on her face.

"REALLY?" she said laughing insanely. "Who?" she asked frowning.

"Well there was the usual. Severus Snape…" she said thinking about it.

"Oh no, not again? Isn't he over me yet? Isn't it, like a phase, and supposed to pass? URGH! Well go on… who else was staring?"

"Well actually I think I saw a couple other guys staring…" she said thinking harder.

James

"Oh come on then, tell me!" she said throwing her arms up in frustration.

"Well there was James Potter… you know… the quidditch star? And there was your study-buddy Remus. I think you were giving him false hopes with the library stuff." She said looking serious.

All four boys' jaws dropped. James and Remus both felt very sick indeed.

"How? All we did was study together and become friends." She said hautly, and beginning to pout.

"Well never mind that… you got your eye on anyone this year?" Bea asked quickly changing the subject.

"Maybe…" said Lily slyly.

"Come one then, I'm going to find out anyway, you're an open book Lils!" she said laughing.

Lily blushed and said, "I know…" and then stared at the fire. *sure, James is cute but do I like him? And poor Remus! I have to make all of this alright* she thought desperately. Then she said, "But I just need some thinking time, alright?"

"Sure, Lils." She said giving an understanding smile.

All the boys were speachless. "Well… l-let's g-g-go in." said Peter, trying to cover up the awkward silence, as all of them moved forward.

"Hi." Said Lily, looking surprised.

"Hello." Muttered James.

"Hey Lils." Said Remus in a far off voice.

"H-h-hi Lily." Stammered Peter

"Hey baby." Said Sirius, cooly, totally hiding the shock inside of his best friend.

"Hi to you too." Said Bea looking surly.

"Oh. Sorry hey." Said Remus, and the other three merely nodded in agreement. Remus sat down on the edge of Lilys chair. He patted her hand, and she beamed up at him.

James felt another sickening pang of anger, and sadness mixed together. "I'm going to bed." He said shortly, and he ran up the stairs.

Sirius ran after him, but Peter, too dumbstruck to move, stayed. Remus determained to make Lily see he was really in love with her said, "I'd better go to bed, too. Goodnight." Then he stood up, and gave her a hug. But it was a different kind of hug. Instead of having his arms just slightly around Lily's shoulder, they were around her waist. Lily realized the change too. But she liked it, and put her arms around his neck. Peters eyes widened and he dashed up the stairs. #When I tell James this, I will be his very best friend, and Remus will be out of the picture…# he thought as he went to tell James what he was seeing downstairs.

Well it's getting a little better, no? Like I say, I don't rush my novels, but I definete plot is forming. Well please, PLEASE R&R… hope you liked! ~Lilz
