"Well then... you'd better tell them before they kill each other. I know they're all made up, and that, but don't think they won't get into another fight over you." Said Bea, really wanting to know who she had chosen. But Bea didn't want to pester her best friend. She trusted that Lily would tell her when she was ready.
Lily slowly nodded and said, "But I really don't know if I'm making the right decision. I mean, I really like them both. But I don't know why I'm choosing the one I Am." She said slowly, not really knowing how to explain it. Bea nodded her head, although she had no idea what her friend was saying. ! Gawd has she gone crazy? What's she talking about ! Be thought, not knowing what to think of Lily's words. "I don't know... it's like I'm going on my gut feeling, you know? But I don't know if that's enough to go on... but no! My decision is final. It's too late to change my mind." Said Lily, now looking rather anxious.
"Okay then." Said Bea, no really knowing what to think. She would liked to have said something like, "good luck" but she grasped that it was not a matter or luck, nor skill. It was just going out and breaking a boys heart. ! Well two if you count Severus ! She thought, laughing in her mind. Lily got up, and noticed that she was shaking. * Oh come on Lils it's not that hard. Just ask for a word with James. Or Remus? Which one should I talk to? Oy! * She thought and then decided that maybe it was best if she just waited for one of them to ask her for a word, and then she would tell someone either bad news or good.
She walked down the stairs, with Bea right behind her and she noticed that the common room seemed extremely quiet. She got her first glimpse of the common room, and at first couldn't pick out what was wrong with the atmosphere. Then Bea hissed in her ear, "Where did they go? All four of them are missing." Said Bea scanning the common room more closely, making sure that they were not out of sight in some corner. Lily couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Well I guess that I'll just have to break them the news tomorrow." Said Lily shrugging, and Bea nodded. "Oh well... I guess I can wait." Said Lily, but Bea could tell she was immensely thankful for this. Even though she knew that putting it off could make it more painful, that it might have been best.
"Well we should continue our girl talk." Said Bea, and at this Lily looked rather taken aback.
"Well a-alright." She said, with a sort of curious look on her face. Once the girls had returned to their dorm Lily asked, "What's up?" a mischievous grin suddenly came upon Bea's face.
"Well... you know how two of the fab four are interested in you." She said slowly, making sure that Lily was following.
"Well yes. Two that we know of, but yes." She replied, frowning in curiosity.
"Well maybe one of the other two would go for me..." she said shrugging; yet still looking kind of giddy. A mystified sort of grin came to Lily's face and she considered the matter.
"What, you fancy Sirius?" she said, trying not to laugh, but wanting to very badly. She did, however, keep it in and she looked as curious as possible. Bea blushed and stared at the ground.
"Well... he's alright I guess. But I am more into Peter." She said blushing even more and quickly glancing up at Lily, then staring back at the ground. Lily didn't know whether to laugh or cry. * Have I taught you NOTHING? * She thought almost outraged, but she kept it completely to herself and nodded.
"Oh. Well I'm sure he'd go for you! Who wouldn't." she said smiling encouragingly at Bea, and Bea returned her smile. Bea knew that Lily was just saying this, or maybe she didn't understand that it was only her that held the power to get just about any boy in the school she wanted.
"But what do I say? I mean, I would look kind of dumb just going up to him and being all like, `Peter I love you' and everything." She said looking revolted at the thought. Lily found it revolting that anyone could be attracted to Peter Pettigrew, but she just laughed along with Bea at the crazy thought.
"Well that's what I'm going to be doing tomorrow, find a problem with it?" she asked laughing at herself. Then she said, "Well I mean, he's never going to know if you don't do something. And come on, there's always Sirius." She said, sounding hopeful, but Bea did not notice Lily's subtle hint. Bea shrugged and looked up at Lily, her face only a light shade of pink now.
"Well I do suppose that if all else fails... but I think I can get Peter. We can both do it tomorrow. By the end of the day we will both have official boyfriends." Said Bea, puffing out her chest and looking proud. Lily laughed, while nodding in agreement. "To be honest I have liked him for a long time now. He's so quiet and innocent, you know? I just never said anything. Well not to him. Now you know everything about me! There is like nothing that you don't know!" she said, looking almost amazed, but Lily just laughed.
"What are best friends for, my dear?" she asked and they both started giggling like crazy.
They spent the rest of the evening discussing Peter, and all the comical ways that Bea could express her feelings. Time flew by and before the girls knew it, it was past 1:00.
"Oy, look at the time!" exclaimed Lily, and Bea looked absolutely stunned.
"Yikes! Well we'd better get off to bed." She said and the girls changed into their nightgowns and hopped into their own beds.
"Night Bea."
"Night Lils."

"Well I think this re-united friendship is a great cause for celebration!" said Sirius, thumping both Remus and James on the back, not able to stop grinning.
"Ya! And what's our favourite way to celebrate?" asked James, also grinning like he was quite mad, looking from one friend to another.
"BLOWING UP SCHOOL PROPERTY!" all of them yelled at once, as they ran out of the common room, more excited than usual about blowing things up.
"This is so good. You know we were being really stupid before." Said Remus shaking his head. James nodded.
"Ya... let's never let something stupid like a girl come in the way of our friendship again." Said James, although if Remus hadn't apologized James wouldn't have done anything at all. He still wanted Lily more than anything, and he was very determined to get her. Remus nodded in contract, but he couldn't help but think: * something stupid like a girl? Lily's not just a girl! And if you think she is then you certainly don't deserve her * he thought spitefully.
The four of them walked through the halls until they reached something worth exploding.
"Hey... this looks good..." said Sirius, his eyes aglow with anticipation. They had all reached a statue of they Slytherin serpent, which was very important to the Slytherins. All of them, who were very proud Gryffindors, nodded and surrounded the stature.
"What are you doing?" said a familiar voice. All four boys spun around and looked at the slime-ball that was Severus Snape.
"We're doing whatever we want to be doing, what's it to you?" asked James remembering their last meeting in the library. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the boy and a feeling of pure loathing boiled up in James.
"Temper, Potter, temper. We wouldn't want you to go hitting people again, now would we?" He said, his face splitting into an ugly smirk as he looked at the other Gryffindor boys' faces. Sirius looked at James in a disbelieving way, identical to all of his friends'.
"What does he mean?" Remus asked sharply.
"Interesting you of all people should ask Lupin." Said Severus, that same evil smirk on his face. "Because it happened because of you. I wouldn't dare blame my beloved Lillian. No, no, I would never do that! But both you and Potter I can fault." Remus suddenly remembered what James had said about Snape knowing. Knowing about him being a werewolf. Remus' eyes went that cold that they did when he was angry, or feeling great dislike.
"Shut up, you slimy git. Go and wash your hair." He said coldly, and he turned to his friends. "Let's go guys," he said to his buddies, "we don't need to hang around here."
All four Gryffindors turned to leave, but heard Snape call after them, "Neither of you will win! I will finally get what's mine!" He sounded quite hysterical as the four boys walked down the corridor shaking their heads.
"Got major problems that one does." Said Sirius shaking his head. But both James and Remus felt little nervous. What if he did get what he had been after all those long years?
A/n: Okay, I know you want to find out more, but that's all I'm going to give you! Ha, ha ha! Well I just really had no time to write anymore so I thought I would wrap it up there. I will put more out soon though, so hold tight! Well R&R as always, and I hope you enjoyed! ~Lilz
