I'm so incredibly sorry this took so long to get up. I broke up with my boyfriend, and I was really upset so I wasn't really in the mood to write a love story, so I kind of lost thread of how this story is going and got the hugest writer's block. So if this chapter is bad, please don't hate me, I'm just not really into it right now.
Thanks so much for all the reviews though! I got past 100!!! And the reviews were so sweet, you guys are really great!
Hira: you asked me to mention you in the next chapter, so here it is. Thanks for your review!

Lily and James walked into the Great Hall hand in hand twenty minutes later, and headed towards the end of the Gryffindor table to sit with their friends.
"Glad to see you've stopped snogging in the middle of the crowded corridor." Sirius called, when he saw them coming.
Lily blushed, but James just laughed. "Like you should be talking.
Sirius stuck his tongue out at James as he sat down next to him. James ignored him and turned to Lily, who had just taken a seat across from him. "I wanted you to sit on my lap," he pouted.
"But if I sat on your lap, I wouldn't be able to look at you." Lily said grinning. "And I couldn't bear not being able to see your face that long."
"Fair enough," James said stared into her emerald green eyes, unable to believe how lucky he was. He still couldn't believe this was real. He had been wishing for this for years, and now she was finally his. It was better than he could have ever imagined; he loved everything about her. Her gorgeous eyes, her scarlet hair, her milky white skin, the way she smelled, the way she tasted, the way she laughed…the list was endless.
"I love you Lil,"
"I love you too."
Sirius rolled his eyes, and pretended to vomit. "Get a room you two!"
"Grow up Black!" Toni spat. "You're so immature."
"Walker, you're really hot when you're angry." Sirius said, grinning seductively. "Why don't we go up to my dorm and-"
"Fuck off!" Toni said angrily. "I'm not falling for your bullshit again."
Lily, Dylan, and Ashley all began to clap and cheer. Toni blushed, but looked pleased with herself.
James raised an eyebrow at Lily. "Care to explain?"
"Toni has a problem with telling whether guys are sweet and caring like you, or if they're scum like Sirius who are just trying to play her," Lily said, smirking at Sirius. "But now I think this prat has finally made her see the light.
Sirius pouted. "Why's everybody against me?"
James laughed. "Padfoot shut up and eat your food."
Sirius grinned at his overly filled plate and happily complied.
"Anybody know where Moony is?" James said, looking around the table after realizing he wasn't there.
"Probably shagging Spinnet," Sirius said proudly, through a mouthful of food.
Lily's eyes widened. "What? He told her?"
Sirius swallowed and shook his head. "Nope, I did. I was getting sick of her going on and on about Diggory right in front of him."
"And what did she say?" Lily said nervously.
"She didn't say anything, she was too shocked."
Lily groaned and got up from the table.
"Where are you going?" James said, also standing up.
"To fix the mess that this dumbass caused." She said irritably, motioning to Sirius. "Stay here, I use need to talk to Remus alone."
She turned and left the hall, dreading what she was going to find when she reached Gryffindor Tower. Everybody could see that Sammi and Remus were perfect together, except Sammi. She was too blinded by Amos' looks to see anybody but him.
"Trust Sirius to mess things up as usual," Lily muttered to herself as she reached the portrait hole. She quickly said the password and stepped through. Sure enough, Sammi was sitting there alone on a couch, her head in her hands.
"Sammi?"
Sammi jumped and looked around. As soon as she saw Lily she opened her mouth to speak, but Lily cut her off.
"What'd you say to him?"
"How did you know?" Sammi said, bewildered.
"Sirius told me he told you. What'd you say to him?"
"I said I didn't feel the same and now he won't talk to me!" Sammi whined. "Lily you need to talk some sense into him, I don't want to lose my best friend!"
"Talk some sense into him?" Lily cried exasperatedly. "I need to talk some sense into YOU! Remus is the perfect guy! Sweet, handsome, funny, popular, caring…all Diggory has is looks! And he's a dick and even more arrogant than James used to be. What's wrong with you? Why can't you see that?"
"WHY IS EVERYBODY AGAINST ME?" Sammi said angrily. "I can't help the way I feel."
"Yeah, whatever," Lily mumbled, shaking her head. "I'm going to talk to Remus, stay down here."
She ran up the stairs to the Seventh Year Boys' dorm and knocked on the door. There was no answer, so she knocked again. There was still no answer, so she gave up and just pushed the door open. Remus was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling, but sat straight up when he heard the door swing open. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Lily entering, and not Sammi. Lily looked him over and felt her heart break for him. He looked so depressed, and his eyes were red like he had been crying.
"Aw Rem I'm so sorry," she said running over and hugging him. "Are you okay?"
"Not really, but I will be…eventually."
"Maybe it's time you moved on. You're a great guy and there's tons of girls here who are dying to go out with you, maybe you should give them a try."
Remus shook his head. "It's no use, I can't get over her. She's just so…perfect. No other girl could ever compare."
Lily sighed. She knew exactly what she was talking about; she could never love another guy as much as she loved James.

Sammi pulled her ear away from the door, her eyes wide. She had been listening in on Lily and Remus' conversation, just to make sure he was okay, but she couldn't bear listening anymore. 'She's just so…perfect. No other girl could ever compare.' That was the sweetest thing anybody had ever said abour her. She had a horrible feeling in her stomach that she guessed was guilt as she walked down into the Common Room.
