Chapter 2.

"I like the way she looks when she first wakes up." James said. Him and his friends were sitting in the great hall eating dinner.

"Yeah there was something extremely sexy about that whole messy hair and smudge mascara thing she had going." Sirius said. "It makes me think of her waking up after a long romp in my bed." James threw a roll at his head and shot him a very angry look, causing the two other boys to laugh. James didn't want anyone but him thinking of Lily waking up in there bed. Although there really wasn't anything he could do over the matter. Every guy in the school would love to shag Lily, and Sirius and himself were no different. Although James knew that even if Sirius had a chance with Lily, he wouldn't do anything about it. He was too loyal to James, and knew James really likes Lily and not just to shag.

"What's her problem anyway?" James said, trying to change the subject of Lily in Sirius's bed, "Why does she still not like me?"

"Maybe it's all your sexual innuendos you make towards her." Remus offered.

"Or maybe she found out that you were the one who snuck in her room and stole a pair of her knickers." Peter said.

"I did not!" James said shocked. The last thing he needed was Lily thinking he was some kind of pervert.

"Oh no Wormtail, you got wrong. I was the one who snuck in her dorm and stole a pair of her knickers." Sirius said Helpfully.

"I'm not even going to ask why, but how could you do that. Guys can't even get into the girls dormitories." Remus said looking very disapproving.

"You're right, Moony. Human Guys can't get in to the girls dormitories, but my good friend Padfoot the dog can." Sirius said with a very pleased look on his face.

"You are a pervert." James said with a look of disgust. "If Lily ever finds out, you will say you acted alone." He finished with a warning tone.

"Yes, sir!" Sirius said. "Sometimes I feel like I'm speaking to my bat mother with you two." He pointed to Remus and James.

"Sorry." James said. "So, what does Lily Evans Knickers look like?" James asked. Sirius smiled at him.

"Well the ones I got, were white and satin. With some French label like La Pearl or something. Very nice." Sirius said.

So Lily didn't wear anything to provocative, James thought. Good. He didn't know why but he just couldn't think of Lily in the sultry "black lace" way. When he thought of her, he thought of being married to her. Having Kids with Her. Not that he would ever emit it to her.

James decided to take a walk alone that night. He wanted to come up with a way to make Lily see that he wasn't the same person he was 2 years ago, he changed. Why did she have to be so stubborn? He knew she didn't hate him. After what happened last year proved it. He will never forget coming to and seeing her face above him like an angel. Although afterwards she said the only reason she was so worried was because it was partly her fault he fell, and that she didn't want to have to live with guilt if he died because of her. Which did kind of make sense because he never would have tripped if she hadn't of pushed him away. But then she had to point out she never would of pushed him if hadn't of kissed her. He hated Logic so of course he had to find the one girl in this school who was devoted to it. He also had to fall in love with the one girl who hated him.

He came around the corner and saw a figure with dark red hair climbing through the picture that leads to the Kitchen. He lost all train of thought. What was the Perfect Lily Evans doing sneaking into the kitchen? He fallowed her through.

"Do you have anything light, like soup I think I' coming down with something." She told a house elf. The house elf nodded happily then rushed off to find some soup.

"Come here often." James asked trying his best to be suave. Lily turned around to face him. She did look like she was coming down with something. Her face was paler then usual and she looked the most tired he had ever seen her.

"Potter I really don't feel well so can we please do this another time." She said. She looked like she was on the brink of tears.

"Yeah." James said. "I just wanted to get a snack." He walked over to a plate of cookies and grabbed a few.

"So, are you alright?" He asked her the gentlest way he could. She snorted.

"Yeah. I'm great. The best I've been actually, and your self?" She said harder then she meant.

"Sorry." He mumbled, and turned to walk away. When He heard her call him.

"James wait." She said. James thought fast, had she ever used his first name before? He couldn't remember.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't get a of lot of sleep last night." She said.

"Yeah sorry about that, we really didn't mean to set all of those fire works off. Really!" He said when she huffed at him.

Just then a small house elf came out carrying a brown bag. She handed it to Lily.

"Thank you." Lily said to the house elf. The elf smiled excitedly at Lily then excused herself.

"So I guess I'll see you at the next Head's meeting." Lily said looking at him tiredly.

"Yeah." James said simply. He watched her walk off, thinking that this was the civilest conversation they have ever had, and that maybe their was hope for them yet.
