James sat in his room as he saw Sirius enter.
"What the hell were you doing, buddy? That's Lily Evans; it's not your fault you were staring. And did you hear? There were others, too! You shouldn't feel embarrassed, man, she likes you, I'm sure of it." He said sitting down next to his friend on the bed.
"What makes you think that's why I came here? I'm tired, didn't you hear me?" James snapped back, looking up from the floor to his best friend. He could tell Sirius was trying to help, but James didn't think anything would help right now.
"Look, man, I know that's what you're on about, you can't hide it from me." Sirius said, grinning. "And it's fine." He looked his best friend in the eyes and his friend looked back. James heaved a sigh, but suddenly someone else had entered the room.
"Hey, Peter what's up?" asked Sirius getting up off the bed and standing up.
"Y-you g-g-g-guys will g-guess w-w-what I j-j-just saw… d-d-downstairs." Stammered Pettigrew, trying not to grin too much.
"What?" said both James and Sirius at the same time.
"Remus and L-l-l-l-lily. They were h-h-h-h"
"Yes? They were what?" said James his eyes narrowed, hoping it was just one of Peters dumb, useless facts.
"H-h-hugging." He said feeling satisfaction as he finally got the words out.
"They hug all the time, it's just something they do. You know, little hug here and there, you know Lily, hugs people all the time." Said Sirius giving a worried glance at James.
James gulped and nodded, realizing that it was true. Lily hugged everyone for every reason. "You know what? I think I'm not so tired after all… I want to go blow up some more school property." He said, his usual mischievous grin back in place.
"Ya, let's go!" said Sirius thumping his friend on the back. Peter nodded, hoping James would see for himself that this was no ordinary hug…
* * * * * * * * * *
Lily and Remus stood in their hug and they heard people coming down the stairs. They let go extremely quickly and Lily sat back down in her chair at once.
"There is that old vase, over on the second floor. They'd miss that." Came Sirius Blacks voice. Lily was to busy blushing and exchanging glances with Bea and then Remus that she didn't hear exactly what the people were saying. Remus was also very flushed, and he stared at the ground hoping it would cover his reddened face.
The boys came down the stairs and James was relieved to see that it was only one of Peter's tall tales. He breathed again and was extremely happy. "Hey, Remus we're gonna go blow up things, wanna come?" said Jams, practically jumping with excitement. He forgot how good it felt to blow things up. He hadn't done it in nearly half an hour!
"Ummmm… well… sure! I'll come!" he said, not wanting to disappoint his friends. He didn't glance back at the girls before he ran out of the common room and over to the second floor to find that vase.

The next day at breakfast Lily was already exceptionally confused. * How am I going to deal with this, plus the fat load of homework I'll be getting? * she thought desperately. She had to analyze the situation properly, but she couldn't do it on her own. She had to talk to someone. And she knew that there was only one person she could trust. Bea.
She endured the hours of classes, stealing quick glances at both Remus and James every so often. When classes were over she decided to grab be and ask her for her help.
"Hey, we need to talk." Said Lily with a fretful look on her face.
"What do you think I have been trying to get you to do!" she said throwing up her arms. But when she saw the serious look on Lily's face she merely nodded and said. "Of course."
Lily and Bea searched for an empty classroom and they settled in the empty charms class.
"Okay." Said Bea, grabbing a seat. "Spill."
"Well you know how last night we were talking? And I said I needed time to think?" she glanced at Bea, and she nodded. "Well I need to really analyze this." She said sighing.
"Okay. Well for one thing who is it you had your eye on?" she asked, quickly, and quietly.
"James Potter." She said, surprised how good it felt to get it out in the open.
"Okay. Well you know he likes you so what's the problem?" she asked, a mystified look on her face.
"Well… there is Remus. I like him a lot. But I am just… I dunno. The thought of Remus and me makes me happy, but the thought of James and me makes me feel extraordinary!" she said, thinking hard of how to explain it. She looked at Bea, and she nodded as though she understood.
"It's because the thought of you being with James is completely new to you. You have never thought of it, and it has always seemed out of reach. But now, it could really happen. I hate to say it Lils, but I think that with Remus you are…well… bored." She said shrugging. "You know him too well. You know what he would be like. And you have always known you could get him if you wanted it. But with James it's a whole different story." She said, staring at Lily looking for any sign of comprehension. Lily slowly nodded and then said,
"So what do I do?" looking completely taken aback.
"Well… I can't tell you what to do. It's all up to you Lils." She said giving a friend a meaningful look. Lily sighed.
"I don't know, I don't know…" she moaned and Bea put her arm around her shoulders.
"It's okay… it's tough, I know." She said, and the two best friends sat there in hush for who-knows how long.
"Well I'll sleep on it… make me feel better, I suppose." Said Lily, and the two got up and headed back towards the common room. But as soon as they had stepped out the door a familiar face greeted them.
"Hello Lily." Said a greasy, black-haired boy.
"Hi Severus. Excuse us, we were just heading back to OUR common room." She said with a smile, trying hard to hide the ultimate revulsion she felt for this boy.
"Oh okay. I was just going to tell you how lovely you look. You must have gotten more beautiful during the summer." He said timidly.
Bea had to go back into the class "Coughing" leaving Lily and Severus quite alone.
"Oh… umm...well thank you Severus. COME ON BEA!" she said forcing a weak smile, and she waved. "Bye." She said in fake cheer, as she grabbed a hysterical Bea and stalked off.
Severus remained where he was. `Lily, my love, this year is our year. I will have you this year. And every other boy will be out of the picture` the thought as an evil grin spread across his hook-nosed, repulsive face.

A/n: Okay. I thought that this was a pretty good place to end it. I promise you it does get exciting! Just wait! I'll post soon, k! Hope you enjoyed! ~Lilz
