**********

Patty went to talk to the rest of her friends about what had currently been happening, and how people were reacting to her fake diaries. She was met by one thing.GREAT. Everything was going great, and that's what everyone knew Patty wanted to hear. However, things weren't going great. Some of the girls were getting cold feet, and all these pranks being pulled on poor lily were really hurting some people, and this was only the beginning. People were getting worried, but they wouldn't let Patty see that, now would they?

***********

James kept running, all the way to the Astronomy tower. How he had ended up here he didn't know, but this was where his feet had carried him, so he might as well make the best of it.right?

He turned the corner, just in time to see a young woman throw herself off the windowsill, but she wasn't gone.she was just hovering in midair. He kept moving on, but did a double take after about 20 seconds. It was lily, and she was slowly moving away from the window, but she was held in midair, and she wasn't falling, or screaming, or anything. She was just there.

James started to move closer to the window, being careful now to disturb Lily from her thoughts. When he got to the windowsill, he looked down at her, and saw that she was on a flying carpet! He had always wanted to ride one, but he new they were rare outside of the Middle East, and this carpet looked like it was top of the line.

And indeed it was. A Mars Gazer 860, top of the line, with fire embroidered into the carpets main spiritual design. A green border surrounded the fire, on just think enough to see it, but it blended in so perfectly, making a clash between fire and earth seem so real. It was absolutely perfect for Lily. He just stared at her in aw, until she noticed he was there.

Lily turned around to find none other than James Potter staring at her on her carpet. No one was supposed to know Lily had a carpet. It was a girt from her rich uncle, who had just died recently. He thought Lily's being a witch was great, and while he was on his trip in India, he just happened to pick it up for her. Uncle Frank may not have been a wizard, but he had been a very successful muggle, and being so successful, he thought Lily should be a successful witch, and bought her the Lovely carpet ass soon as he saw it. Nothing but magic could have made such a powerful statement, and lily was overjoyed with her magical carpet.

She only rode the carpet when she either wanted to be alone, or she felt she had to escape from the world. No one knew about the carpet, seeing as they were highly wanted, and you couldn't get one outside the Middle East, so anyone who had one was in danger of losing it, especially with jealous teens around.

Lily stared up into James eyes, and was surprised to find them red, and puffy, and full of an emotion she would have classified as hurt. This was NOT what she had expected to find when she looked at him. She longed to ask him what was wrong, but that's not what she ended up saying. "Go away." Said spoke very clearly, and very coldly.

He looked down. "If that's what you want, that's what you'll get." He turned around, and started to leave. Then, Lily did something that surprised them both. She reached out, to grab him arm, and she spun him around until he was facing her. She pulled his arm, until he was up on the windowsill, and finally he was on the carpet too.

"We need to talk." She whispered, barley audible.

"You're right, we do." He replied. "God Lily, we really need to talk" he looked as if he was on the verge of tears again. His mind traveled back to the diary, and all that it was, and what he had read.

"How could you believe Patty, instead of me? I mean she was trying to stop what has to be. You should know by now that I love you, and I just want to know if you feel the same? I thought you did. Then I was handed a copy of you diary, and ticked into reading it..and..I.I-I-I just don't know anymore. Maybe you wrote that before, and got the date mixed up, or maybe I was wrong and I just can't tell because of everything that's been going on, but it's possible that I've been a fool, and if that's the case, then I'll just leave you alone, but you mean more to me than that, and if I have to leave you alone, then I will, but know this, I will NEVER stop caring about you." He finally took a stop to breath, he had just poured everything out, but he'd been rushing so much, he could hardly remember what he'd said, and he was worried Lily hadn't heard him. He finally looked at her, after speaking, and he face was deathly pale.

"What diary?" she asked, completely confused.

"Your diary.the one you right all your confessions in..you know.the one you're ALWAYS scribbling in." James replied, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Lily face went, if possible, even paler. If James hadn't known her, he would have thought she was a Slytherin, who spent all her time in the dungeons. "How did you get a COPY of my diary? I only have one, and I only write my most personal feeling in it. How much did you read? Did it say anything about you?" She couldn't stop asking question, getting even more nervous with each question she asked.

"I got a copy from Patty, her friends were giving them out to people. I read an entry or two from about 2 weeks ago. It was all about Amos Diggory, Severus Snape, and me. It compared up, and talked about our looks and junk, but it continued to critique me, and you kept on saying how perfect I would be to be used, and all this stuff about what you would do when you got back to school.ect."

Lily just stared at James in disbelief. "You're lying. I may have written about you, and maybe a bit about those other two, but I never, ever compared you to them, or them to you. I just wrote about what I thought about them, and you." At this point she started to blush, making he look a bit more alive. " Who did you say gave you that diary?" Lily was beginning to put the puzzled together.

"Patty..why dose it matter?" he saw no point to this, but he could tell Lily did not feel the same.

"Shit!" She swore loudly, and instantly started heading the carpet back towards Hogwarts. "What time is it?"

"About 10:30. Why"

"We are sssssooooo late for double potions. This is not going to help me when it comes to our O.W.L.S.!"

"Don't worry, we can have Sirius and Remus fill us in on what we missed, and we can say we were doing official Head person business. Don't worry."

But Lily wasn't worried. She was determined to stop whatever Patty was planning before it was too late. James was only beginning to take in the surroundings while he was still on this magic carpet. He was flying full speed towards school, with the woman of his dreams in control, and he was only just beginning to notice the clear beautiful day around him. It was a dream come true.

Lily dropped James off at the Astronomy tower, and told him to get back to the Gryffindor common room. She would be there soon, and with that she flew off.

************

Sirius and Remus were in Potions, fantasizing about what James was doing right now. They had narrowed their list down to different kinds of suicide, the most likely jumping out of the Astronomy tower, seeing as that was his usual threat, and they had seen him running in that direction after he left the great Hall. They both knew that that was never good, and hoped their friend was safe. How wrong they were.

*************

James was calmly walking to the Gryffindor common room, when Professor Mcgonagal, an odd smile twisted on her face, stopped him.

Before he knew what had happened, he was in the animagus form, being dragged away by a smiling Pofessor, as if the was the most normal and natural thing in the world. Little did he know what was happening, and where he was going?

**************

Lily was calmly flying along, getting back to the common room, when she saw her window. She quickly and quietly climbed up into the room, and sighed. She was folding up her carpet, and just as she finished tucking it under her bed, a smug looking Patty, and 5 of 6 other girls grabbed her from behind. They dragged her to some unknown place, and she was sure she was doomed. The last thing she thought of before she was hit unconscious, was where was James, and was he all right?
