Chapter 4

" Malerie seriously likes Sirius." Said Lily in the library.

Malerie was giggling, blushing and playing with her hair all at the same time as she and Sirius talked. Jasmine looked over.

" Oh yea well. Even if they end up going out with each other, they might end up heartbroken in the end. That's how most of relationships nowadays end." Said Jasmine simply and continued to read her volume of Very Ridiculously Unfortunate Events by Helen Kursed.

" Jasmine. Is there something you want to talk about?" asked Lily.

Lily had always thought Jasmine kept her share of secrets even from her closest friends.

"No."

"Hey, let's go down to lunch, I'm hungry!" called Sirius to Lily and Jasmine.

" Go ahead without me, I have Potions essay to finish and I'll be down." Said Lily. And they all left to lunch. James stayed behind.

James came over behind Lily.

" Hey, Lily dahling." Whispered James, into Lily's ear.

" You don't need to hover over me, James." Said Lily, a bit surprised that James had called her by her first name and vice versa.

Lily turned around and they both realized their faces were really close together. Madam Pince looked over (quick as a cat, that one!) and James smiled innocently at her. He was disgusted that he saw her blushing. He didn't want his charm to work THAT well.

'What the hell! Just go for it!' thought James.

James held Lily tightly and leaned over and kissed Lily. Lily pulled away.

" What has gotten into you?" said Lily as she slapped James squarely on his cheek.

Then she rushed out of the library, closely followed by James.

" Calm down, Lily." Said James.

When Lily opened up the library door. Malerie, Jasmine, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were standing outside, grinning.

" I thought you all went down to lunch." Said Lily, embarrassed.

" No, I had a feeling something was bound to happen since James stayed behind with you. He is usually the first to rush to a meal." Said Sirius triumphantly.

" So, he kissed you didn't he? AHA! GO JAMESIE!" said Sirius patting James on the back who still had a red cheek.

Lily and James were blushing furiously. Their friends all laughed at them.

" Let's just go to lunch!" said James.

" What? No details? You're no fun." Said Sirius looking very unsatisfied.

That night, Lily snuck out to go to her favorite place in the castle. She just needed to clear her mind. She had received and owl that her parents weren't doing so well with their finances and Petunia is failing all of her classes in school. Not to mention James with his abrupt kiss.

She left the note for the girls to know where she is in the middle of the night. (Though everyone in the dormitory was fast asleep.) She headed quietly for the astronomy tower.

After carefully avoiding Filch (and his cat,) Lily reached to the astronomy tower. She almost jumped in surprise as she saw a figure already looking up at the stars.

It was Remus Lupin.

" Lily," said Remus a bit surprised.

" Hi, I didn't realize you'd be here." Said Lily uncomfortably.

" Sometimes I come here. In any case I'm glad you came, come, look at the stars with me." Said the Remus with such a gentle voice. She came over and looked up obediently.

" The sky looks to peaceful." Said Remus. Lily noticed how pale and peaky he looked.

" Yea, it does. Remus, are you ok? You look very pale." Said Lily concerned.

" Oh. Don't worry, Lily, I'm fine. I sometimes get sick. It's really no big deal." Said Remus.

Lily nodded and resumed to the stars.

Then she heard a hoarse sniff.

Lily turned around. Remus had tears falling down his face. He looked away.

"Remus!" said Lily and she leaned a bit closer.

" I'm sorry."

"Tell me what's wrong. You can always work things out by talking." Said Lily

" It's just, I have many things that I wish would have never happened to me. Life would be just so much easier. And now that I'm going to leave Hogwarts, I don't know." Said Remus with great difficulty as he wiped his face with his sleeve.

" Well, things happen. But the only thing we can do about it is to learn to live with it." Said Lily, consolingly.

" You are a great person. And pretty at that. No wonder James likes you so much." Said Remus with a smile on his face.

" James does not like me. That would just be, ew." Said Lily.

This was the day that Lily and Remus became close friends.

A/N: That's my take on how Remus and Lily became friends. Well obedient to my wonderful readers, another chapter has been uploaded. You know what to do for future chapters! Thanks
