LILY'S POV:

I'm so tired, I silently yawn over my bowl of porridge. I think the house elves have a thing for porridge. It seems that we eat it at least twice a week. Above me the school owls fly over the students. I'm still in awe because of this. This is my sixth year here, and I still crane my neck to see all the owls fly in. As I watched two owls fly in, I silently wondered what they were carrying. Soon enough, they flew over to me, one dropped an envelope, and flew off, the other dropped countless white lilies, and white lily petals, all over my seat. Some landed on my hair, others in my porridge, and the rest harmlessly on the table. They fell with such grace and elegance. I was completely stunned! Who was this from? I opened the letter with some apprehension, out fell the most impressive lily I have ever seen. It was white, with tinges of green and gold within the petals.It had a beautiful fragrance that soon swept the whole great hall. I held it in my hands as I read the letter:
Dear Lily,
Enjoy the flowers.
From James
I was absolutely in shock. I didn't hear my friends ask who sent it. I was off in my own world. No way James did this. This stunt was too kind, elegant, and romantic for him. There was no Dear Evans (a name that I absolutely detested). It was Dear Lily. Did I actually manage to puncture that big head enough for him to listen to me? Did he really not make any awful jokes? No proposal for a date? No bragging about his quidditch skills? No nothing....only "enjoy the flowers"
This is possibly the nicest, most genuine thing some one has ever done.... And it was James Potter who did it for me. How ....unJames like! At least how unlike the James I knew.
I collected some of the lilies and placed them in my bag, but I kept the gorgeous one that accompanied the letter with me for the rest of the day. Then that night, kept it in a vase by my bed and placed a charm on it so that its beauty would stay for ever. I pressed the other ordinary white ones in a notebook so I would always remember.
But, why did I want to remember this? Why was I treating these lilies with such care? Was this really James Potter who sent? Is there something more I don't know about him?!

SIRIUS POV:

I'm really actually quite scared for the post to come. I nibble my porridge, ugghh, the house elves need some new ideas. Patiently, I wait for the owls to arrive. I look for the one I sent Remus, but I'm distracted by two birds, one carrying a plain envelope, the other some sort of flowers. I watch as they fly over to Evans and drop the lilies all over her. She looks rather shocked. She opened the letter and her jaw drops. But she does pull out the most interesting lily I've ever seen. She twirls it in her hands and stares at the letter.
"Ah HA! Top that Padfoot!" James watches me, as I gaze at Lily.
"YOU! You thought of that! Come on James. No way!" He smirks.
"Well, I mean, I did get help from good ol' Moony! But so did you, so technically it is not cheating!" James lifted his arm and punched the air in triumph. Oh, Jimmy boy, don't you worry, it is not over yet!
"Oh Moony" I clutched my chest and mockingly sprawled over my seat. "Your trying to kill me! Helping James! I mean how could you." I laughed as I sat back up.
"I gave you two the same help, so it's still even. Plus you never said either of you couldn't get help." Remus sad as he took a bite of his porridge.
"Yes, sure, ok fair enough. That was fairly romantic James. I'm impressed. Hey Remus, you've got mail." I'd almost forgotten about my little present due to James' little spectacle.
"Oh, so I have." He carefully opened the pouch, and about five little gold coins slid out. "What are these?" He asked, with a puzzled look on his face. How can he not know what they are! He's the one who told me to get tokens!
"Uhm, I dunno?" I played along. James, for some reason, is going red in the face. He is trying to hold back laughter. He has a weird smile on his face, and it looks as though he is trying to play along with the clueless act I picked up.
"Never seen them" he stumbled on a laugh, hiding it with a cough. "Before in my life." He turned to face me with wide eyes and a very red face.
"Maybe it's a joke? Or maybe the owl got confused? I'm not sure. But Remus, can you help me with my herbology homework before class?" Peter tapped Remus on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Sure I could." He gave the tokens one more quizzical look, placed them in his pocket and dashed off.
"Bye Remus!" I said, he flashed me a big smile, something inside me squirmed.
"Bye Wormtail!" James said with a wave as they disappeared.
"So Padfoot. Let me guess. You asked Moony what some one would mean to do to win him over. He said little tokens right? He said the same thing to me. Have-"
"You didn't send Evans tokens though? Why not?" I interrupted him.
"Have you ever looked tokens up in the dictionary?" James laughed all the way out of the great hall before he waved and left me alone at the table. I sat there staring at my porridge for about ten minutes. Suddenly a voice startled me out of my trance.
"Sirius? Are you even listening?" Sage smiled at me. She was a very pretty girl, with curly brown hair surrounding her petit face.
"No, sorry? I was just thinking. Sorry, could you repeat it gorgeous?" I winked at her and she let out a soft giggle. Flirting with girls still comes naturally to me, even though I'm I love, and gay.
"Well, how about going to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?" She placed one of her hands on my shoulders.
"Err, no sorry. I can't. There is some one else." I said, it wasn't entirely true, but it wasn't a lie either. "Sorry."
"That's ok, I didn't realize there was some one else. As far as I knew you were still single." She looked disappointed, but only for a minute. Her usual smile was soon back in place.
"Well, they don't really know it yet. I'm still trying to convince them." I smiled at her.
"I'm sure you won't have any trouble. If you want any help " She said, "I'd be glad to be of assistance!" She smiled as she walked away.
"Oi, Sage, what does tokens mean?" I said, and she abruptly turned around.
"What? Tokens?" She looked at me funnily.
"Well, if some one said they liked to be sent little tokens, what does that mean?" I said with more humor than I felt.
"Oh, like little gifts? Like a poem? Or Flowers, or candy even?" She laughed and waved at me as she strode off. Soon after I heard some other boy call her over, -probably to see if she was free next Hogsmeade weekend, I thought. She had a stunning face and figure. I knew 90% of the boys in Hogwarts would have loved the offer I just turned down. But I didn't care. I was too stunned by how stupid I had been.
So it meant gifts. That's why Prongs sent flowers. He meant little gifts, signs of affection. Oh god, how daft can I be? I should have known that I'd confuse the meaning of words, I always do! Gifts! That makes a lot more sense then weird little gold coins! At least only James knows that I sent them. Heck, he's probably the only one who knows what they are, besides Arthur. James is never going to let me live this down. Oh god, now I'm back to square one with operation "win Remus" now too.

JAMES POV:

My side of the bet is coming along very nicely, Padfoot on the other hand! What a tool! Token? As in the muggle tokens? Those silly little things that look like money, and you play games with them at arcades? Who could have thought of that! He is exceptionally bright, but not when it comes to word sense. I have a feeling Sirius is starting to get stuck for ideas. But that's ok, because I still have a number of plans up my sleeve, they'll just push Sirius along on his way.
But -due to the great success of my gift to Lily, I was surprised when she didn't trample the flowers or yell at me like I half expected. Speak of the devil, here she is!
"Hey Ev- Lily!" Is that the lily I gave her that she is still holding in her hand?
"Hello James." She sounds slightly nippy, but not annoyed and angry like she usually does.
"Nice day isn't it?" Nice James, comment on the type of day your having.
"Yes it is. My day sure has been full of surprises." She smiled and walked off.... I'm floating on air, did Lily Evans just smile at me. She didn't yell, she smiled. Her tone of volume was at a regular level, not at the speaker, ear blowing level I'm used to. And she said her day was full of surprises, like getting flowers at breakfast. This is the best day I have ever had! I can practically SEE the love POURING out from Lily's eyes!!!!
And because I'm in such a good mood, I'll convince Peter to get rid of the tokens so Remus doesn't figure out what a idiot Sirius can be. Sirius you owe me one, but you can pay me back after I catch up to Lily.

PETER POV:

This bet thing is hilarious. James might actually get Evans to like him with that lily flower stunt. Well, even if she doesn't like him, she won't hex him whenever she gets the chance. I was talking to James, and apparently he doesn't care if he wins or loses. He looks like he is walking on clouds he is so happy. He only did the bet to get Sirius to hook up with Remus! Can you believe that? I almost fainted when I heard. I mean I'm not discriminating against them, but this makes me feel a tad weird. I had inklings at Padfoots affections for Moony, with his harmless joking flirting. But I NEVER expected Remus to be gay. I almost dropped deadpan on the floor when I heard. James looked shocked that I didn't know. He muttered something about, "Remus not going to be too happy with him now". But I didn't really hear it.
I agreed to help though, in the end. Apparently Sirius sent those weird coins to Remus, and James asked me to get rid of them before Remus figures out what they are. So, I guess its up to good old Wormtail to save the day.

REMUS POV:

Today was fairly uneventful. James' gift to Lily was a total hit. I didn't see Sirius watching anyone to see if they got the little token he sent them. But that could have been because I got these weird coins in the mail so it distracted me. I would like to figure what they were they seemed a tad familar. -But Peter told me after lunch that he thought he'd seen them before, and that they covered the person who had them in slimy goo when the slept. "Are you sure Peter. I don't think they do. They don't even seem magical at all!" I sighed. "I'm positive. My cousin found one once. He smelled like gross goo for two weeks. Everything he touched stuck to him. It was awful. Trust me Moony. Just throw them out." He went to grab the coins, but I moved them away.
"If I feel anything in the middle of the night I will wake up and throw them away." I laughed. Wormtail was such a worrier.
"What if it mistakes me for you? Then I'll be covered with goo, and that is not something I would like." Peter picked up one of the coins as if to inspected, but then grabbed the rest and threw them away.
"Peter! What if they were something else!" I said in exasperation.
"Trust me Moony, I'm doing you a favour!" He said. "Come on were going to be late!"

Herbology was extremely boring. James kept trying to tell me something, but Professor Dippory caught him writing a note, so he has detention tomorrow night, and so does Peter. Professor Dippory thought James was writing to him, because Peter was looking over James' shoulder. I would feel sorry for Peter, since he really didn't do anything, but he threw away my weird coins. We're walking back from class when James stops me.
"Remus, I know you might get extremely mad at me. But I thought I had better tell you. I told Peter you loved Sirius." He looked extremely worried.
"JAMES! You said you wouldn't tell anyone! Don't you think I should have the right to tell my best friends IM GAY! Couldn't you have thought about some one else besides yourself for ONCE!" The full moon was in four days, and I could feel the affect it was having on me.
"Shh.. come on lets talk about this when there aren't so many people." He didn't look embarrassed, or mad, he still only looked worried.
"No." I didn't feel like co operating with James at all.
"Well, keep your voice down unless you want the whole school to know."
"Why did you tell him James?"
"It is a long story. I was so happy about Lily, and I was only trying to help. I wasn't really thinking. I mean its not like Peter will tell. He just wanted an explanation for why he had to do... err a favour for me. So I told him." James started talking nonstop, and none of it was making sense.
"Help? What favour?" My anger is starting to disintegrate as James keeps confusing me more and more by the word.
"Oh, nothing really. Just look, Moony, I'm so sorry I told. But I made him swear he won't betray your secret. He is as good as his word Remus. I'm so sorry. You helped me, and then I betrayed you." He looked sad when his eyes met mine. This was something James had never done, apologize and mean it, and really care that his actions can some times be painful towards others. It was almost like he was an improved version of his old self. I had to wonder what sort of effect Lily was having on him
"Its ok James. I mean I guess it is ok you told Peter. I can't hide forever." I took pity on James. He really was sorry.
"Atta boy Moony! You should really start telling people. Or atleast your close friends." He clapped me on the back and walked away.
He was right. Hm, since when is James ever RIGHT? Something is up, he's changing. But, I should tell my close friends, and all of my close friends know, except Sirius. I need to tell him, and I will. Tomorrow night when James and Peter have detention.

Sirius POV:

James and Peter are in detention, leaving me and Remus by ourselves, something I am quite happy about. I decided on giving up hinting at my affection for him. I mean, I already made a fool of myself, he isn't gay, and he is my best friend. I know I'll have to sing to him sooner or later, but I am just hoping Lily keeps on hating James for just a while longer.
"Hey Padfoot." His light, musical voice filled my ears.
"Hey Mr Moony!" I smile.
"Listen, Padfoot. Err, I've got something to tell you." He was blushing slightly. The pink tinge to his cheeks really did wonders for his complexion. But, that fair skin is never to be mine. "I mean its kind of awkward. But I've got to say it any ways. -Peter and James already know. James has known for ages, -Peter only found out recently. -I would have liked to told you all at the same time." What was he on about? What was he trying to say. I haven't seem him babble since when we confronted him about being a werewolf, and anything you say after that has got to be small potatoes!(A/N: I stole your phrase Meg Kenobi, all credit goes to her. I just liked that saying so much!) So what could it be? "Well, you and I, err we have in common –Well, blokes are –I don't like girls either!" He sighed as he finished and didn't look me in the eye.
"Moony are you saying your gay?" My jaw must be touching the ground because it is hanging wide open.
"Well, err, yes actually."
"Well, join the club" I say as I clap him on the back. I instantly regret doing it, it seems like Im congratulating him on being gay or something. And did I just say, join the club?! Omg, the gay club!? I can't believe I said that! But I'm too happy to care –and to happy to notice the uncomfortable silence Remus has lapsed into. I snap out of it.
"So when did you know?" We talk for hours and hours. Laughing mostly. Some times we talk about serious topics, about our families, our dreams, and much more. This is why I love Remus, there is nothing I can't talk to him about. We go up to the dorms, and talk until three in the morning. We don't hear Prongs and Wormtail creep in at midnight. All I hear is Remus....

The Next Morning: (Still Sirius POV)

"Wake UP! Come on Padfoot! Rise and shine Moony!" James', really all to chipper, singsong voice rings through my head at an ungodly hour. I listen to some one tear Remus' bed hangings.
"Uggh, sunlight! Really, who wants sunlight at this time in the morning?" I hear Remus laugh. Some one walks over to my bed, I grab my wand at get ready for them. Some one slides the hangings and instantly I mutter: "piyruis incanteum" and a huge bucket of water dumps all over their head.
"PADFOOT!" Remus yells at me. Yikes, I really didn't expect Moony to open the covers, I had predicted it would be James.
"Err, sorry, but you WERE going to wake me up." Moony smirked at me. I could see James in the background having a laughing fit.
"Only because its twelve thirty, and I thought you might want some lunch. But in the future I'll refrain from ever considering you again." He laughed, then he pointed his wand at me and muttered "violet argilia".
"What did you just do Moony?" I asked pretending to be terribly frightened, but in all actuality, I was sort of scared, because a revengeful Moony with a wand is not something to be taken lightly.
"Look and see." I turned to face the mirror in our dorm. My usually tidy hair was slightly messy from sleep, and instead of being black, it was GREEN?
"REMUS!" I yelled, absolutely shocked.
"Oh James! Don't you think he looks absolutely barmy. It really brings out his eyes." Remus laughed as he repeated our long-ago conversation from the library in a joking manner.
"Why Moony, excellent work! You always were the brains behind the bronze." He laughed at me as I patted my hair.
"Excuse me, as I recall some one saying, only old men look barmy, and since I am not old, I most definitely do not look barmy. Oh and Remus, I absolutely agree. The green does match my eyes." I laughed as I lied, because truly the green crashed horribly with my eyes.
"You look like a fool Padfoot. Moony did a number on you alright." James said while Peter laughed.
"I think he looks stunning, as usual." Moony said with a laughing wink. -I kept my hair green all day because of that sentence. James definitely noticed this, and he pulled me aside on the way to dinner that day.
"Padfoot, keeping your hair green isn't going to win you that bet. But don't worry I've got a fool proof plan, that even you, the biggest fool of them all, can't ruin." He laughed and smiled as he said the fool bit, but even if he had said it in a humourous manner, it still left me scared for what he was planning.

A/N: FINISHED, this chapter any ways! :D :D... hoped you liked it.....I know this may seem a tad dragged out.. but trust me.... In the next chapter Sirius and Remus finally have a kiss or two ;), and things between Lily and James keep getting stranger and stranger... REVIEW PLEASE!

Duh duh dun... is there a side of James that Lily doesn't know? Does Sirius really think Remus won't figure out what those coins really were?!? Does he think he can get off this easy?! BEcause I definitely don't think he can ;)
