A/N: Thank you for reviewing. I really appreciate it.

I know, I know. The last few chapters suck majorly. I really hope that this one is better. *Sighs* I am hoping to end this fic soon. Very soon.

Chapter 35

"I had a really horrible dream last night," Lily said to James over dinner.

"What is it?" James asked. His eyes told Lily that he was very concerned.

"W-we were eating dinner and…and you said we were getting a divorce. I-I was really scared. I don't ever want that happen, James."

"It won't, Lily," James said. He held her hand in his and gave it a comforting squeeze. "Don't worry. It was just a dream. That will never happen. Our marriage is going to last forever. I love you. I always will."

"In the dream…you said…you said that sometimes always doesn't last forever."

"In this case, it will. I will never stop loving you, Lily."

"I hope so, James. I hope so." Lily still looked a bit unconvinced. James sensed it. He leaned across the table and hugged her.

"Believe me, Lily," he whispered.

"I-I do, James. I do."

"Hey Kyle!" Lorie called.

"Hey," said Kyle. "What's up?"

"We're supposed to edit some of these images, right here. Do you wanna come over to my place later to fix it?"

"Sure," he said, smiling slightly.

"Great. I can rent a couple of muggle movies to watch while we work. See you later."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey Debbie," Lorie said. "Kyle's coming over later. We're going to be fixing some images and watching a couple of movies. You don't mind, do you?"

"You've got a date with him? Lorie, no fair! You've got that really sweet boyfriend and now you're going to get Kyle too!"

"It is not a date. It's strictly business."

"Uh huh. Right. Business. Call it what you want, but I don't think your sweet boyfriend would appreciate you dating other guys."

"Debbie! I am not dating Kyle! We're just friends. He's just coming over to work on the pictures!"

"Then what's with the movies?"

"Well, it'll be boring just working! So I thought we could watch a couple of movies while doing so!"

"Right. What did Kyle say?"

"He said yes. Come on, we'd have to work on it either way! Why not make it a bit more fun?"

"Uh huh. Fun."

"Look, there's nothing going on between Kyle and I, okay? We only see each others as friends."

"Well, I sense some chemistry between you two. But, hey, that's just me.

"For the last time, we're only friends!"

"Right. Well, you might see him as a friend. It's totally obvious that he likes you."

"He does not! He's just really friendly. Not only to me, to everybody."

"To everybody he's 'friendly'. To you, it's just plain flirting!"

"You are so annoying!"

"You're in denial."

Lorie sighed. "Whatever, Debs. Why don't you go out tonight?"

"Why? You want some private time with him?"

"No. I want you to stop bugging me. If you stay here then we'll never get any work done."

"Ah, I see. If I'm here then you won't get any work done. Right."

"You have such a sick mind."

"What? I never said anything."

"I give up. I can't argue with you. Just get out. Bye. See you later."

Debbie pouted. "You're so mean."

"And you're so annoying! BYE!!"

"Fine. Be that way. But before I go, I have one more thing to say."

"Say it, and leave. Please."

"Well, you're very lucky to have such a nice boyfriend. Don't make any stupid mistakes. It's not worth it if the risk is greater than the reward. In this case, the risk is your boyfriend. The reward? I don't know…" She left.

Lorie sighed. She loved Remus. He's the only guy she needed. She never even thought of Kyle in a romantic way. And she was sure that he felt the same about her. Didn't he?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey," Kyle said. He had just apparated inside of Lorie's apartment.

"Oh hi," Lorie said, smiling. *See Debbie?* she thought to herself. *He's just friendly.* "Listen, have a seat, make yourself at home. I'll get us some drinks and we can get started."

"All right."
