A/N: It took a while but here it is!

Five of the Chapters

Lily hadn't stayed at her house longer than the time it took to get
fresh clothes. She'd been making up loss time with James and at the
end of the day they just ended up at his house.

The other day when she had been changing for dinner Lily's phone had rang. It was her agent, reminding her about a show and appearances she had coming up. Then she got an owl on an assignment she had. Which, in Lily's opinion, was totally pointless.

She thought her entire career at the Ministry was a total waist of time, effort, and money. The things they had her doing made no difference in the fight against he-who- shouldn't-be-named. Then again, it was bringing in more money and that didn't hurt.

But the real problem, Lily thought, was how she was going to go about telling James with out making him mad. No matter how wonderful Lily thought he was deep down, and she knew this, he didn't want her to work.

In reality she wasn't sure if it was because he thought women belonged in the home because, wizards and witches didn't really think that way. Or, if it was that her jobs took her away from him and he was selfish. Then again she was too. But Lily didn't think she make James feel bad for having a job.

Lily knew how she was going to bring it up.

They were sitting on his couch together, he was reviewing a case from work and Lily was reading some magazine when she flipped the page to see a picture of herself with some "handsome" man, as the caption read.

"Look." She pointed at it. James looked at the picture and smiled. Remember the first time they had done this.

"Who is that you're with?"

"Some one my publicist set me up with. Isn't that a beautiful dress?" James nodded. "You know James. I am going to have to go back to work?"

"Uhh yeah about that Lily. I was thinking. You don't really have to work you have tons of money and so do I. There's really no need. If you look at it this way, you're taking a job away from some one else."

This made her furious. But she kept her cool. Pausing for a second she finally replied to him, "I've really enjoyed spending time with you and I don't want to mess anything up between us. But, James, you and my jobs are really the only things that make me happy."

She looked at James looking straight ahead. As though he hadn't even heard her. This was one side she didn't like of James. "Please don't make me choose. Not now."

He finally looked over to Lily and grabbed her hand. "When are you leaving?" He asked.

"In three days. But it's only a run way show so it'll only be a few days."

Then Remus and Sirius came into the room. Lily gave Remus a weak smile. No matter how nice he had appeared, he some how wasn't as nice to her as he was to everyone else. Lily didn't think he didn't intentionally or anything. Not that it even bothered her much. But they got in their tiffs.

They all decided to go down town to a bar. Sirius had got on quit well with a bar tender there and wanted to see if he actually had a chance with her. Remus wasn't doing anything else and Lily loved to go out and James didn't have any choice.

IT HAD been a Hogsmede weekend and they had spent most of their time in the Three Broomsticks, after making the usual stops. Now, the usual butter beer will not make you the least bit drunk, tipsy, what have you. That is if you only have one or two.

But after the fifth or sixth it starts to affect you a bit. Not to mention Sirius had convinced the bar maiden to slip them some drinks with a higher intake of alcohol.

When it was time to go back to the school, instead of going to their dorms like everyone else did. The group of students decided to go back to their dormitories and talk a bit more...over some drinks.

After the conversation had died down a bit Remus absent mindedly brought of Lily's, as he called it, façade. Usually Lily would just ignore him. He was under the influence and any way didn't get that far before James cut him off.

But tonight was different. She had had enough. After he had made his speech about Lily "prancing" she was through with it.

"I do not prance!" She told him. "In any way did you ever think that it's not that I think I'm too good for everyone? But, that everyone thinks they're too good for me. Why should I make efforts to talk to people who odiously have themselves, I. E. you, on a high horse? So the next time you feel the need to talk about how I'm 'soooo not the person you thought I was' please do it out of the presence of my company."

"That's fine. But do not assume I have myself on a high horse. Lily Evans you know nothing about me so don't jump to the assumption that you do."

"I'm not the one assuming anything Reumus. I've had enough I'm going to bed."

"Don't take to many pills tonight Lily. You wouldn't want to spend you entire night vomiting in the toilet." He said almost with a laugh.

James, being the chivalrous boyfriend he was, almost stepped in. That was until Lily practically attacked one of his best friends.

"Who told you that?" she yelled ready to cry.

"You mean the numerous times in the hospital wing weren't enough? Not to mention what your dorm mates say."

Lily stood up making her way to the door. Everyone in the room being very quiet and still. Before leaving she had to get the last word in. Turning around with tears in her eyes she said to him in the most hateful voice she had "Full moon's coming up Remus. You'd better stay in the hole the school keeps you in. Wouldn't want to kill anyone."

The door shut and Remus sent a death glare at James. James stood up and raised his hands swearing on every member of family's graves he hadn't told her then running after Lily to see if she was okay.

"Lily!" James called after her. "Please wait."

She stopped and turned around with tears running down her face. "How does he know about that James? I haven't told anyone. He's so mean to me. I don't want people to think I'm that sort of girl."

"Calm down." James said loosely holding her arms. "How did you know about him? You have to tell me."

"Oh come on James I'm not stupid. What was it third year we learned about werewolves? After two full moons it was only obvious." Lily said walking to a table to sit down. "Why is he like that to me?"

James came and sat down next to her. "I don't think he realized how much he was hurting your feelings." He said.

"No not that. He didn't have to say that about" she trailed off "You know."

"Oh that. Lily, you can't get embarrassed about something like that. You have the choice to do it or not."

Lily said she didn't care and they sat there for a while. When finally she grabbed James and kissed him. In her opinion they didn't spend enough time together alone.

JAMEs walked into Lily's house to find her packing for her trip to Paris the next day. Walking over to her he wrapped his arms around her and said "What you up to."

"Passing away the moments that make up a dull day." She said thoughtfully. She turned around to face him and smiled. James pushed her bangs out aside from her eyes and held her closer. "You're distracting me." Lily almost laughed.

"My intention." James said pulling her away from her suitcase. She started to protest but he quickly shut her up by kissing her.

"I really need to." He kissed her again, longer this time. "I don't really need to wear clothes while I'm there." She said pulling them down on the bed.

Remus then walked in her room clearing his throat. "Sorry to interrupt." He said awkwardly.

"No it's alright." James said getting up. "We were just...packing." He gestured to the suitcase.

"I can see that." He said raising his eyebrows again. Lily looked away. A little embarrassed. She couldn't remember the last time this had happened. "Any way, there's a party. You want to go?"

"Are you kidding?" Lily said getting up lunging for her closet. She pulled out of her closet a short black dress and pulled her hair back with a black and white scarf. "Do you even have to ask?"

She started to strip off her clothes with them in the room. Pulling on her dress with a slight giggle she pulled on her dress and zipped it. Going back to her closet she was grab black pointed toed kitten-healed shoes.

"Lets go." Lily fetched her purse and walked out her door.

James followed her and Remus turned saying "I guess I didn't have to ask."
