A/N: Wow, what's it been, 3 years since I have updated? I hope you all remember me…I still get random reviews on this one…I hope you all don't hate me. I know how much you liked it. So I am continuing.

Yeah and I know I'm a big huge asshole for leaving that cliffhanger and never clearing it up.

I love you guys! Don't hate me? J

"Ew I'm not cleaning your crap up, James." Lily looked down at the mess he had made in his room.

James and Lily had been spending quite a bit of time together lately, since Cassie was always with Remus, Laura was always in her room crying, and Sirius was in the hospital wing suffering from amnesia. Things had gotten better though. Laura started talking again a week and a half after Sirius lost his memory. Sirius knew everyone's names and years, but that was about all he could muster up so far. Laura was still extremely depressed, but she visited the hospital wing between classes, before and after dinner, and sometimes slept by his side at night.

"Come on, Lil." James poked her side.

"One, don't poke my fat, Two, don't call me Lil," Lily kicked a sock under his bed, "I don't like that name."

"Yeah you do."

"No I don't."

"Yeah you do!"

"I don't!"

"Do!"

"Whatever." Lily sighed and collapsed onto Sirius's made bed. She got up quickly, realizing what she had done.

"Don't worry about it, Lily." James looked at the bed and then at her. "We know Sirius will be back soon."

"I know." She sighed, "But its Laura. I don't know how much longer she can wait."

"I don't either." James sat down next to her. "You're doing a good job of being there for her, though."

Lily smiled and looked at him. He was looking at her with a soft smile. She felt it. She felt that thing that fluttered in her stomach she always got when she was this close to James.

James wanted to kiss her so badly.

But he couldn't. He knew it was the wrong place, wrong time, and he wanted their first kiss to be extremely special.

So he got up and offered her his hand. "Come on, let's go see Sirius."

She took it obligingly and followed him out the door. They walked down the stairs slowly and quietly.

There were a few Gryffindor mulling around the room, wanting to be outside instead of out in the cold. Lily looked at Laura, who was sitting on the couch alone, wrapped up in a blanket. She stared at the fire as if she were thinking hard about something.

"Probably Sirius." Lily thought.

She tapped James. "James?"

"Yes my dear?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, I know you want company to go see Sirius but I think it would be better if I stayed here with Laura." Lily looked at her. "You know, to keep her company?"

James smiled. "Of course."

Lily gave him a grateful smile and turned to Laura. She walked over to the couch and took a seat next to her friend.

"Hey sweetie, how are you holding up?" She asked softly.

Laura gave her some of the blanket and smiled softly. "I've been better?"

"I know, I know." Lily rested her head on Laura's shoulder.

"How are things with James?" Laura asked, looking back into the fire.

Lily laughed. "Things are fine."

Laura looked down at Lily. "How come you guys won't get together? Practically everyone knows that you both are in love with each other…I don't really understand it."

Lily shook her head. "I don't want it to happen so fast. And I wish he would just tell me. We've been alone so many times where he has had the perfect opportunity, but never does it."

"Come on, Lil," Laura smiled, "You know he's a big scardey."

Lil shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so."

Laura nudged her. "You know he likes you. Just don't worry about it; everything will sort itself out in time. Besides, that's what I've had to do with Sirius."

Lily looked at her sadly.

"No, don't do that, I'm fine now." Laura smiled. "I needed to learn that moping around isn't going to make it any better."

"You're right." Lily said. "I should take a leaf out of your book."

James walked with his hands in his pockets toward the Hospital Wing. It was kind of good that he wasn't with Lily at the moment. He felt that he couldn't take much more of being with her but not being with her.

He was still mad at himself for gaining that reputation of that boy who everyone loves or has gone out with. He was glad he was still a virgin though. Unlike Sirius or Remus. Yes, Remus. You would be surprised about how much of a skank he is. Though not anymore, now that he has Cassie.

Something kicked him out of his thoughts as he saw a blur flash by yelling Laura's name.

James whipped around and saw Sirius's figure retreating down the corridor at top speed. So he chased after him.

"Sirius!" He called out. "Sirius what are you doing?!"

Sirius stopped. "James?" He turned around.

"Yes?" James asked.

Sirius ran up to him and hugged him so hard he could hardly breathe. "James, my gosh what's happened to me?"

James stepped back. "Wait, Sirius! You're cured!"

"I am?" He said. "I am!"

James hugged him and they danced about the corridor for a bit.

"Stop." Sirius said.

"What?" James asked.

"This is so gay."

"You're right." James brushed off his shoulder.

"Let's go eat!" Sirius said happily.

"Wait." James stopped. "Laura, you need to see her Sirius, you absolutely must. She has been more than miserable without you."

"Of course she has," Sirius smirked. "How could she not."

"Yeah, you're definitely back to your normal self." James laughed.

"I'm kidding, James." Sirius smiled. "Where is she?"

"She is up in the common room with Lily."

"Oh, Lily!" Sirius said enthusiastically and winked at James. "Anything with her you sly, sly man you?"

"No."

"Oh." Sirius said. "You're lame, you know that?"

"I know." James sighed.

"Well let's go see them." Sirius brightened up.

"Alright." James said.

Meanwhile…

"I just don't know what to do, Laura." Lily sighed and looked down at her hands. "Because I have been getting so fed up with the situation with James…I have been talking to Roger McEnroe a lot lately."

"The Ravenclaw Quidditch team captain?" Laura grinned. "Rawr, he is sexy."

"And he asked me out before the Yule Ball, remember?" Lily pondered a while.

Laura stared at her.

"Maybe…I should give him a chance...I mean, how long has it been since James has liked me now?" Lily said.

"Go for it!" Laura smiled. "Perfect opportunity to get him extremely jealous."

"Yeah, but that's not why I am doing it." Lily smiled. "Well, maybe."

Laura rolled her eyes.

"But it is to teach him a lesson. Plus I kind of do like Roger." Lily shrugged it off.

"How exciting!" Laura shrieked.

"LAURA!!!"

Laura blinked hard. "Wait that sounded like—"

Lily's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "Sirius?"

Laura turned around and saw Sirius in his stupid little pajamas with his wide arms. "Oh God, Sirius!"

She leapt into his arms and squeezed the life out of him. She never thought he'd get better. She had begun to lose hope already, but he was back! He came back for her!

They started kissing frantically as if the day was their last together. "God I missed you." Laura said between kisses. "I thought you weren't coming back. I thought you were going to stay like that forev…", she trailed off as Sirius dragged her away up to his room.

"Well," Lily smiled at James, "That's nice."

James watched them run up the staircases. "Hey want to go get some lunch?"

"No thanks." Lily stretched. "I am going to take a nap and then a long shower. I need to wash all of this stress off."

"Come on, Lil…it's a beautiful day." James stuck his hands in his pockets.

Lily eyed him suspiciously. "Well…"

James gave her the biggest PLEASE, cutest puppy dog eyes, and lower lip.

"Fine." Lily sighed. "You've convinced me."

"Great." James smiled.

Once they had gotten to the Great Hall, James waited for Lily to walk through. "After you, my dear."

"Why thank you." Lily smiled and strolled through the doorway.

At the same moment, Roger McEnroe was walking out through the same doorway.

"Oh, God Lily! Excuse me." Roger blushed at the sight of the gorgeous redhead.

"No, it was completely my fault." She smiled gently.

"See you around, Lil." Roger looked at her gingerly.

Lily waved as he walked away. GodDAMN his body was freaking tight. He was quite ferocious, and Lily was starting to notice it.

"Does that guy still like you?" James asked nonchalantly as they walked towards the Gryffindor table.

"I don't know." Lily liked how she could see his jealousy. "He is pretty rough looking, isn't he?"

"I…I guess." James said. "He's pretty stupid though, you know in class."

"No he most certainly isn't!" Lily said in disbelief. "He is one of the top students at the moment."

"Oh…but he dates ugly girls." James lied, wanting to smack himself for the idiocy of that comment. "I mean, you're too pretty for him."

Lily frowned at James. He was trying so hard. Maybe she should give him a small shot.

"I guess so." She said at last.

James frowned at his plate. What did that guy have that he didn't? Lily was to pretty for him anyway. She should like a guy like James, right? Right?

A/N: Okay, so yeah. Shitty chapter, but at least its updated and I won't be shot by one of you, eh?

I love you guys btw. Thanks for all the reviews urging me to continue, because it really helped.

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
