New chapter. Yippee. Everyone go out and get Chicago on DVD. I love it.
You can like the life you're living

Isn't it grand?
Isn't it great?
Isn't it swell?
Isn't fine isn't it?
But nothing stays
In fifty years or so
Its gonna change you know
But all that's heaven
Nowadays
"Nowadays" Chicago
omg, Lily Evans Potter9 is a goddess. I've been put on her favorite stories list! I'm so happy I could cry. Seriously I have no self-esteem when it comes to my writing lol. Sad, I know but very true. My mom kinda taught me to expect the worse so whenever something good happens, its ten times better. So yeah, lol. Thank you so much to all of you who have reviewed! Believe me, for every review I receive it makes my dream of becoming a screenwriter closer. This chapter was not that planned out. In fact as soon as I was done writing chapter 5, I had no idea what to do. Its not writer's block, its just stupidity. Hope you like it!
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Unless JK Rowling has turned into a teenage Italian American girl living in central Virginia, then no, I am not Ms. Rowling nor do I own anyone in this story except for the people you've never heard of before (there aren't a lot of them so don't worry. I don't like O.C.s in L/J fanficts)

Catching Up and Moving On
"Can you believe what a bitch McKibbon is!?" Exclaimed Sirius walking down the London streets with Lily Evans at his left and his best friend and roommate James Potter at his right. Lily glared at Sirius. It had been a month since the first Auror training and Marlene McKibbon had not started to warm up to any of her students and seemed like she never would.
"She's not a bitch Sirius! She's a.well, she's a bit of a." Started Lily trying to think of the right word.
"A bitch." Finished James. Lily looked at James and rolled her eyes as he smiled knowing he had been right. They got to the guys' apartment and Lily sat down on the couch next to James. Sirius headed over to kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. He came back into the living room soon after.
"Its so boring around here nowadays. Lily, take off your top." Said Sirius grinning madly.
"What? James please beat him senselessly for me?" Asked Lily turning to her left. James shook his head.
"Can't do Lily. Besides him being my best mate I do have to admit that I'd like you to take off your top." Lily leaned over and slapped him hard on the shoulder. "What?!" Yelled James defensively. "I didn't do anything! You just happen to have a very nice- -"
"That's enough!" She said putting her hand over his mouth. James wished that it were her lips over his mouth. Sirius chuckled then looked at his watch.
"Shit!" He shouted.
"What is it Padfoot?" Asked James casually.
"I got a date with Gabby in 10 minutes." Said Sirius rushing to his bedroom to get ready quickly.
"Who's Gabby?" Asked Lily as she and James followed Sirius into his room. Lily sat on his bed and James stood in the doorframe.
"A girl I met at the Ministry. I was on my way to the bathroom and I got lost and she pointed me in the right direction."
"Do you like her?" Questioned James.
"Sure. Why not?" Said Sirius briskly.
"Really?" Asked James again.
"I don't know! Jesus Christ, we talked for a minute and I asked her out for tonight so I could get back so McKibbon wouldn't kick my arse." Said Sirius huffily. He turned around, looked in the mirror, and looked back at his friends. "How do I look?" He asked. Sirius was wearing dark denim jeans and a black buttoned up shirt. With his natural good looks and bad boy image, he looked nothing short of a modern day Fonzi.
"Honestly?" Asked Lily. Sirius nodded. "Hot." Sirius grinned.
"Excellent. See you all later! Hope you have fun Friday nights alone!" He shouted. Just as he walked out of the room, he leaned up to James to whisper in his ear. "And remember, the condoms are in the bathroom Potter. Don't get too frisky while I'm gone." With that and wink Sirius dissapperated from the flat. James shook his head and laughed.
"I wish." He said under his breath.
"Huh?" Inquired Lily while walking up to him and cocking an eyebrow making her look irresistible in James's eyes.
"I said I wish you would take off your cloths." He blurted out grinning. Lily slapped him playfully. "Ow!"
"You're so horny James. When's the last time you've gotten laid?" She asked as the two of them went out into the small but cozy living room. She picked up the latest issue of The Daily Prophet and started scanning it aimlessly.
"Seriously," James started, "about a year." Lily dropped the newspaper in her hand and looked at James. She didn't believe her ears.
"A year?" She questioned in disbelief. Never would she think that sentence would ever be uttered out of James Potter's mouth. In Hogwarts he had lost his virginity in fifth year to a sixth year Ravenclaw and has since then always been known as a playboy. In order to try and win over Lily, James had sworn off sex. That and the fact that he had stopped hexing people in the hallways and acted like a true gentleman in front of Lily was the reason why she agreed to go out with him. Lily just assumed that when they broke up James had at least met a few women at some bars or something. "How has it been a year?"
"I haven't had sex since last August then I started going out with you and I knew you wanted to stay a virgin until your wedding night so- -" Started James.
"I never said until my wedding night!" Exclaimed Lily.
"Yes you did. You told me, remember?" Reminded James.
"Okay, I might've meant that but not anymore." Said Lily. James blinked.
"So does that mean you'll have sex with me?" He asked.
"No!" Yelled Lily. She sighed. "I'm just so tired of always being 'the virgin', you know?" Lily said sitting on the lumpy couch.
"Actually I don't know. I've always been the playboy." Stated James joining Lily.
"And you don't get tired of it?" She asked.
"No. Who would get tired of having tons of sex?"
"See? That's what I mean! I make such a big deal out of it. You and Sirius are the kind of people that can just have a one-night stand and never bother to talk to the girl again. Just once in my life I'd like to be." Lily looked down and started playing with her fingers nervously.
"Be what?" Asked James. Lily sighed then laughed slightly.
"This is going to sound ridiculous." She said.
"No it won't." Said James calmly. "Come on, you can tell me." Lily looked up at James with her wide green eyes.
"Just once in my life I'd like to be the kind of girl that guys drool over. That guys go, 'Wow, look at her' when they see me." Lily laughed to herself. "I know that must sound so stupid and ignorant."
"It is stupid and ignorant. Lily, you really think guys don't swoon over you? In Hogwarts, do you know how many guys had crushes on you but were just too intimidated by you to say anything? Hell, look at me! It took me five years to ask you out! You're gorgeous Lil. You're intelligent, funny, witty." Lily giggled and smiled.
"You really think so?" Asked Lily moving her hair behind her ears moving in closer to James.
"I know so. I remember when we were going out when we'd walk into the Great Hall together all of the guys would turn and look at you and I remember thinking that I was the luckiest guy in Hogwarts." Said James earnestly.
"James, that's so sweet. I think that's one of the nicest things I've ever heard you say to me." She said as she kissed him on the cheek and hugged him tight. James hugged and buried his face in her thick hair.
The two carried on like that for hours just talking and catching up with one another about their summer vacation. When they first came to their new apartments, Lily and James' relationship was rocky. Now it was permanent and set in stone. Never had James and Lily be friends before they were dating but they both realized what they were missing out on all of those years.
Around 11 or the conversation had died down and they started to become sleepy. Lily rubbed her eyes and groaned.
"I can't believe how late it is." She said checking her watch on her wrist.
"Its not that late." Said James. His stomach gave a loud lurch.
"Hungry?" Asked Lily.
"Maaaaaaybe." Replied James. Lily smiled and went to his refrigerator. She was a bit hungry too.
"Typical men. There's nothing in here." Stated Lily rummaging through old milk cartons and a few rancid pieces of cheese.
"Well is there anything in your place?" Asked James standing up from the couch. Lily straightened up and looked at James. She had forgotten how tall he really was from being level on the couch with him. He looked very handsome with his hair ruffled and glasses slighted askew.
"No." Said Lily with a smile. James sighed.
"Typical Lily." He imitated. Lily rolled her eyes. "Do you want to go out somewhere to get a bite to eat?"
"Sure." Lily said following James to the door to get their jackets. "Where are we going?" She asked.
"There's this 24 hour food shop down the block that's pretty good." Suggested James.
"Sounds good to me." With that they walked down the staircases and down the block still talking and laughing. James was having a great time. He loved making Lily laugh and loved seeing her smile at him.
When they arrived at the food shop, James placed their order and stood their waiting. While he was waiting, his mind drifted to Lily, as it often did. He wanted to ask her out. I'll do it tonight, he thought, when we get home. The food was ready and James paid. He began looking around the store for Lily when he saw her down on the other side. His heart sunk.
Lily Evans was standing there talking to a man who had his back faced to James laughing placing her hand on the man's chest who. He said something inaudible to James then leaned down and kissed Lily on the cheek. Lily smiled her infamous smile and the man turned around. It was no other than Amos Diggory.
