Ginny looked into the mirror her eyes wide in shock, she stood there her head resting on Draco's shoulder as he smiled down at her 'lovingly' then he would peck her on the forehead and she'd smile and kiss him back, 'NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING' she told her self.

"Hey Gin, Gin", said somebody from behind her that made jump.

"Draco?" she asked as she turned around to see him standing there his hair slightly messy but it look great either way he was smiling at her happily.

"You okay Gin?" he asked.

"Yer fine why?" she asked.

"Na look a bit drifty" he replied.

"Nope I'm fine", he replied.

"You know I think Lily and James are falling in love", she said happily and also trying to absorb herself in something other than him

"Yer but the only floor is the fact that Lily has a boyfriend", Draco replied.

"Hey, knowing Lily she's smart she's not going to play which is better, she's going to call it of with Hunter and think about it", Ginny said, "or I hope", she said looking at Draco.

"Yer", he replied.

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

Lily looked at Hunter, "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Lily I really like you but lately I just don't feel that same way I did before", Hunter said looking at her.

"What's her name?" Lily asked looking at him not believing a word coming out pf his mouth.

"Jasmine", he muttered as he became interested with his shoes.

"It's okay at least you didn't keep going out with me while you saw some other girl", Lily said as she smiled at him "Friends", she asked stretching out her hand.

"Friends", Hunter replied,

Lily smiled, "See you", she said as she turned around and walked off, "Fucking bitch", she said in harsh whisper, the last two guys she went out all feel in love with Jasmine, James ex bitch of a girlfriend, Lily's eyes blazed, what did James say to her about me that made her so annoyed at me and go after every guy I like she thought to herself.

"Um Lily", said a voice behind her causing her to turn to look at him.

"Yes", she said raising an eyebrow as the figure came out of the shadow's 'James' she said to herself as he looked at her.

"Could I talk to you?" he asked.

"Yer I'd say so", Lily said anger still boiling in her.

"Um look I want to apologise for what happened last night", he said looking at her.

"Yer it's fine, don't worry", she said her voice emotionless.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Na I'm peachy", she said annoyed.

"Hey what did I do now, I said sorry", he said.

"No it's not that it's you bitch of an ex girlfriend", Lily said irritated.

"Jasmine", he asked.

"Yes Jasmine every guys dream girl", she said.

"What's this got to do with Jasmine?" James asked.

"Hunter just broke up with me because of Jasmine apparently, he didn't feel the same way towards me as he did before", said Lily he anger level lowering slowly and turning into hurt.

"Well maybe it's better that way, instead of him cheating on you like Brendan did", James said.

"Yer but it was for the same girl her broke up with me for", said Lily.

"Lily it was for the better", James said.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IT WAS FOR THE BETTER" Lily screamed.

"I don't", James answered honestly.

"See you don't know!" Lily exclaimed "every guy I go out with ends up with your ex ", Lily said.

"Hey Jasmine's one of those people", James said "Forget about it", he said.

"Yer that's easy for you to say you have an okay love life that doesn't get fucked up 24/7", Lily said looking at him dangerously "What did you tell her?" she asked.

"What do you mean what did I tell her?" James asked.

"I mean what did you tell her that made her hate me?" Lily asked warily.

"I didn't tell her anything", James said.

"So are you saying you're still dating and you told her to mess up my love life", Lily shot at him "Or did you think it was fu-" but James hand went over Lily's mouth.

"Shh", he said to her looking to her eyes, "Lily you and I are good friends I don't want to hurt you", he said looking at her she looked at him the green orbs sparkling, James removed his hand from her mouth.

"Sorry", she said.

"No don't be", he said as he turned and left Lily, as she broke down in tears, she was so confused, was she really in love with Hunter or was she in love with James and god damn why was life so hard.

"James Potter the heart throb of every girl's heart", said a portrait that Lily only knew to well.

"Well I haven't seen you in a while", Lily said looking at the portrait from her first year.

"Ah dear you don't see me but I see you", replied the Lady "so share what you must" she said to her.

"Oh what do I do?" Lily said "you do have a name?" Lily asked her.

"Yes I do", said the portrait "Morgan", she said.

"Morgan I like that name", Lily said.

"Thank you dear", said Morgan "What is the matter?" she asked.

"James Potter", Lily said with a sigh.

"Why?" asked the portrait.

"Because I think I'm falling for him", Lily replied.

"Is that what your heart tells you?" asked the Morgan.

"Yes it is", Lily said.

"Then follow it", Morgan said.

Lily looked up the painting that winked, as something made her stop talking "there's a figure coming towards us looking for you", said Morgan "Good luck", she said.

The door opened but it didn't reveal James it was Hunter who walked through it "Lily thank god your in here I need grovel at you feet for forgiveness" Hunter said looking at her pleadingly.

"Pardon", said Lily.

"Lily, I so, so sorry as soon as you walked away I sat down and thought about it, who cares about Jasmine I'm not in love with her it's you", Hunter said.

"You are?" she asked.

"Yes, I am", he said looking at her sincerity showing in his eyes.

"Your forgiven", Lily said "but I need time to think", Lily said looking at Hunter who nodded.

"I understand, don't worry", he replied looking at her as she left the room in search for James.

"James Potter?" she asked as she entered the common room.

"Yer Lil", said a boy looking up at her.

"Hey I need to ask you a question, if hunter apologised to me and told me he regretted everything he said should I forgive him?" she asked him randomly.

"Yer if he meant it", James said after a while as the words rolled of his tongue he knew he'd let himself lose Lily once again.

"Thanks", Lily said as she left the common room, but she didn't go back to the room where Hunter and her had just previously been in she went to the east wing tower.

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

Two weeks past Lily and Hunter where just friend's at the moment, James was going crazy because he was in love with Lily and he hadn't told her, Ginny was uncertain about her and Draco, Remus and Stacie where happy, Bella and Sirius where in "LOVE" and Peter and Jenny were getting on great, so as the week went by nothing eventful did happen, it was pretty normal, but then it wouldn't be normal for them is something didn't happen.

"Hey Lily can I talk to you?" James asked as he entered the common room his mind made up, he knew Lily was studying for N.E.W.T's.

"Yer sure James I want to tell you something to", she said looking up from her corner.

"Okay you go first", James said as he sat down,

"Na you" Lily said.

"No Ladies first", James said.

"Fine, I'll go first, I've been thinking and I thought that I might give me and Hunter another try" Lily said happily, James heart broke and shattered in a million pieces.

"That's great", James said.

"Thanks", Lily said "So what did you want to tell me?" Lily asked.

"Oh it doesn't matter", said James.

"No come on what is it?" Lily asked.

"I sorta forgot", James lied.

"Yer right", Lily said.

"Don't worry" said James said turning and walking away, 'wait' he thought remembering the reason her had decided to tell her was so 'he wouldn't lose her and here he was again letting her walk away well who cares he was going to tell her Now'.

"Wait Lily", James said as he walked back over to her she was now standing in the middle of packing all her school stuff.

"Yer", she said looking up at him.

"I just remembered what I had to tell you", he said looking at her.

"Yer what", Lily said her eyed brightening.

"This", James said as he pulled her mouth towards him gently his lips meeting hers as he kissed her, Lily's eyes widened put James didn't notice because his eyes where already closed, Lily didn't know why but she couldn't bring her self to pull away form James, ' god I cant believe I'm doing this' Lily thought to herself ' only two months ago I hated this boy and know I think I'm in love with him' she asked her self as she finally gave in and kissed James back.

An applause started to grow around them both of them as they pulled apart, they both looked at the peopled cheering it was Sirius, Remus, Stacie Bella Ginny and Draco along with Peter and two random students that looked familiar.

"WELL FINALLY", Draco shouted as he high fived Sirius.

"YAH", Ginny said as Stacie and Bella started a squealing competition.

Peter and Remus just stood there smiling stupidly, "Hey Sirius you owe 10 sickles", Remus said.

"No I don't", Sirius said "it's past Lily's Birthday", Sirius said.

Lily looked at James as he looked clueless, 'what I kissed james I didn't agree to date him or anything' she told herself, 'he and me where to different aren't we and anyway I'm I love with Hunter other wise I would have been with James before', Lily shock her head and bolted out the door.

"Lily", somebody cried as she left, but she didn't stop she didn't know what to think at all, she was confused dearly now, she had no idea what to do at the moment, her mind was telling her to do one thing her heart telling her to do the complete opposite, she headed for the west wing this time knowing if they went looking for it would be in the east.

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

"Crap", James said as he sat down in his bed, "What have I done?" he asked himself.

"You listened to what you're heart had to tell you James and Lily just didn't feel the same way or just wasn't ready for it", said Draco as he entered the room.

"Lily's still in love with Hunter", James said looking at him.

"Are you sure about that?" Draco asked him.

"Yes she said that she was going to go and ask him to get back together", James replied looking at Draco he looked like an empty soul.

"How long have you been in love with her James honestly think about it?" Draco asked him once again.

"Since she broke up with Brendan and I we where looking for her and when I saw her crying I'd say", said James.

"I think it was longer than that think about it James", Draco said.

James thought about the first time he ever talked to Lily properly, the time they where under the mistletoe and ended up hating each other ' there's a thin line between love and hate' a voice in his head echoed.

"The first time I kissed her in year one", James said softly.

Draco smiled at him and nodded his head, "she meant a lot to you that's why you kissed her today", Draco said.

"I think I need to sleep on what I do next Draco", James said.

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

"Lily", Ginny said softly as she entered the tower.

"Ginny, what am I going to do?" Lily asked her uncertainly.

"What do you mean what am I going to do?" Ginny asked.

"Why the hell does life have to be that hard?" Lily asked.

"Well no bodies life is easy", Ginny said as she sat down on the ledge opposite to Lily.

"What should I do Gin?" Lily asked.

"Well Lily what do you think you should do?" Ginny asked.

"Go and crawl under a stone and stay there for the rest of my life", said Lily.

"Well that bets my plan for life", Ginny muttered, Lily smiled.

"Ginny I really don't know why James suddenly started show any interest in me all of a sudden and especially when I get my self the perfect boyfriend", Lily moaned.

"Well maybe he just realised the way he felt", Ginny said shrugging her shoulders.

"Well it took him a bloody long time", Lily said irritated.

"Meaning?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.

Lily looked shocked for a second at what she had said "I have no idea", she said in some sort of daze.

"Well think about it Lily", Ginny said.

There was a long silence before Lily spoke as if in a daze "I've had a crush on James for longer than I thought and then I think – I think I've fallen head deep in love with James", Lily said.

Ginny smiled "Maybe James might like to know", she said.

"I think I'm going to have to think about it", said Lily as she stared out onto the school grounds.

"Well how bout you sleep on it", Ginny said looking at her.

"Yer I think I will", said Lily looking at her friend, Ginny nodded.

Both girls walked back in silence to the common room, lost in thought. *********
