Disclaimer: I don't own anything.I'm getting sick of this.

A/N: Hey! I have a problem! My other story, 'Thought the veil', I have decided I want to bring characters from this story (like Morgan and Jeannie) to 'Through the veil'. Get it? Well, the problem is that there are going to be certain relationships that haven't established in this story, that I want to continue for 'Through the veil'. I'm going to have to write this REALLY fast...*sigh*

Back to the story:

Chapter 12: Romance?

Lily quickly gulped down the food on the tray, Jeannie had left for her. Pork chops, potatoes, corn, beans.it was mush in her mouth. There was no flavor at all that touched her taste buds. She felt like a zombie, not caring what she looked like. Lily didn't want James to attract to her. She dreaded the moment where she would see James.

'I can't go through with this,' Lily thought to herself, 'But why should I?'

Lily opened the door leading to the common room.

'Do I really have to go through with this?' She asked herself.

Lily took one step down stairs.

'I could pretend to go with him.'

Lily took another step down the stairs.

'.then tell him what I really think of him.'

Another step downstairs.

'Jeannie and Morgan are wrong, I don't like Potter! I can't!'

Another step downstairs.

'Potter will leave me alone, when I'm through with him,' Lily smirked.

She finally reached the bottom of the stairwell, at walked to the portrait hole, waiting for James. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a compact mirror, she didn't want to look bad, for anyone, not just James. She combed her hand through her hair and dabbed a bit of lip gloss on.

'There,' she thought, 'I don't look that bad!'

"Getting beautiful, just for me?" said a voice behind Lily.

"You wish, Potter," Lily replied.

"Of course I do. And Lily?" James asked.

"What?" Lily said, starting to get annoyed.

"Can you call me James?"

"Whatever. Let's do this thing."

"What? Our date?" James suggested.

"Ya!" Lily said, sounding like she had better things to do. Which she did, Lily thought.

"Ladies first," James said and gestured for Lily to go first.

Sirius walked into the common room a while after waiting for James to return, he had gotten bored waiting. Morgan propped herself against the couch, reading. Her hair was down but out of the way of her face. Her blue eyes scanned the page as Sirius sat down beside her; she obviously didn't notice he was there, because she kept reading.

'How you doin?' Sirius thought (A/N: LOL, Constance.), 'WAIT, I did NOT just think that. I can't like her, can I?'

"What are you reading?" Sirius asked, starting a conversation.

"Oh, hello, Sirius. Ummm.Witch Weekly!" She replied.

"You read that?"

"Yes, I like this stuff, and beside, I have nothing better to do," she laughed.

"Oh, I see. Where is everyone?" Sirius asked, continuing his wanted conversation.

"Lily and James are on a date," Morgan smirked, "Remus and Jeannie are in the library, and Peter is.well you never know where Peter is these days."

"You're so right. What has gotten into him? He's never following us any more," said Sirius.

"He seems so different this year, kind of like he's avoiding us," Morgan replied thoughtfully.

"Anyways.where did you learn to play basketball so well?"

"Well, I'm half-blood, so my parents agreed that I could go to Hogwarts only if I took Muggle School as well. So I took that until I was 11 years old. We had a gym class there, that's where I learnt sports. I take sports, like basketball and football (A/N: Soccer.) every summer," Morgan said.

"That's so cool! I wish I could do something like that. But because of Voldemort, I can't leave the house," Sirius said.

"I thought you left your family?" She asked.

"Ya," Sirius said staring at his shoes, "I couldn't stand the whole lot of them, with their pure-blood issue, so I camp out with James. I think it's disgusting, my family, I mean!"

"Good! I mean, you should, I would hate it if you had that issue" Morgan blushed.

"Why?"

"Well, you would probably be in Slytherin and.and." Her voice suddenly got very quite and drifted off. Morgan looked up into Sirius's dark brown eyes. Sirius leaned closer. Morgan could feel his breath on her soft cheeks, they were about to kiss.

"I can't," Morgan said suddenly.

"Can't what?" Sirius said, very disappointed.

"I.I just." Morgan stuttered

'Come on, you can tell me," Sirius said hopefully.

"I'm not going to lie," Morgan said standing up, "I don't want to be a girl you love for, like, a week then throw me aside for another!"

"Morgan, I would never do that to you!" Sirius said, but Morgan wasn't convinced.

"Sure!" Morgan said sarcastically, "Just like the dozens of girls you promised that to!"

"But--"

"Sirius, I really don't want to hear it," Morgan said as a tiny tear rolled down her face, "I don't want to get hurt."

"Morgan--"

"'Night Sirius," She dashed off into the girl's dormitory.

***In the Library***

"Huuuugh!" Jeannie suddenly screamed in frustration.

"What?" Remus replied.

They were both sitting in the library at a table in the far corner. Their homework plus many books were scattered across the table.

"I just don't get this," Jeannie replied.

"Maybe I could be in some assistance?"

"Please!!"

"Ok, what's the problem?" Remus asked.

"Well, I really just don't understand the all the properties of Moonstone. I looked in two different books and the properties are both different," Jeannie said her problem.

"Which books did you use?" Remus asked politely.

"Potion Ingredients and Their uses, and Rare House-hold Potion Ingredients," Jeannie replied, equally polite.

"See, there's the problem! Those books are really old and out of date. Here, try this," Remus said as he handed a large red book. Jeannie reached for the book, her hand lightly touching (more like brushing) Remus's hand. Both of them had a jolt of shivers run through their spine. The looked into each others eyes and drew them closer. They kissed.

"GET OUT!!!!!!!" A scream erupted from the quite library, "MY LIBRARY WILL NOT BE USED FOR A MAKE-OUT CORNER!!!!!DETENTION!!!!GET-OUT, GET-OUT, GET- OUT!!!!"

Embarrassed, Jeannie and Remus gathered up their stuff, very quickly, and ran out the library, with Madam Olfen (the Librarian) screaming at them.

A/N: How was that? I was reading my early chapters, they suck, I think I've gotten better.*cheer, hug myself*.anyways.
