In the Great Hall, everyone was crowded around the notice board, trying to see what events there would be. It was so crowded Lily almost missed seeing James slink away, looking slightly worried. As much as she didn't like him, she had a responsibility as prefect, so she ran after him.

She caught up with him as she neared the Fat Lady. He sat there in the corridor, slumped over, and moaning softly while shaking his head. "James?" Lily asked tentatively, unsure as to whether he wanted company. James looked up, startled to see someone had followed him, but even more surprised to see that it was Lily, the girl he was in love with.

Since James hadn't said anything, Lily slid down, so she was resting next to James, and her heart skipped a beat as he looked at her with admiration in his eyes. The next moment, however, she shifted uncomfortably. He was so quiet, she left, but was shocked to find he had also gotten up, and was walking toward her, cockily, looking very different than just minutes ago. Lily wondered why, but then she saw none other than Sirius swaggering toward them, grinning slyly.

"Found an empty classroom then Prongs?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Lily whirled on James. "So that was what you wanted! To trick me so you could get me to snog you??" "Lily, I would never-" James protested feebly, but Padfoot was grinning so widely there was no way Lily would fall for James' charm this time. She stalked off fuming, going to tell Nat and Livi, because at that very moment she wasn't talking to Kat, who happened to be Sirius' current fling. Before she got there, curiousity overtook anger, and she stopped to check out what the first contest was. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Lily stared at the poster speechless until Lupin walked up and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. He said to her quietly, "You know, James really does love you!" Lily sighed, she felt so defeated. Nobody seemed to understand just what she was going through. "Sometimes." Lily hesitated, unsure whether to go on. " Sometimes, I just feel- like he only likes me because I don't like him. Does that make sense??" Remus looked sadly at Lily. " You know, that thought has crossed through my head many times. James is one of my best mates, but he is girl crazy. Just be careful Lily, because I don't want you to get hurt." Lily sighed again, and leaned her head on Remus' shoulder. She thought to herself, "Why can't Potter be more like Remus?" But at the same time, Remus thought, "God, I love Lily. How am I supposed to tell James that??"
