"This is great!" Sara said. "You finally dumped Sirius! Don't you realize how amazing this is?"

"Yeah, just wonderful." Lily said, hugging her pillow. "It's just, well, I don't know. Now I feel I was too hard on him."

"Too hard on him?" Sara said in disbelief. "If anything, you were too easy. I mean, even the Prat Prince would be better than him. Wait, I take that back."

"James is just my friend, okay?" Lily said. "But Sirius, I still want to be with Sirius. It doesn't matter how much he messes up, I still like him."

"You're kidding me, right?" Sara said. "Besides, you're way too good for Sirius."

"Norma's the only sane one here." Lily said. "She's at least doing the work we're supposed to be doing. I'm just talking about some boy."

"Some boy? You obsessed over this guy for months." Sara said. "He is anything but some boy."

"So, now you do want me to go out with him?" Lily asked. "You're confusing me, Sara!"

"Look, Lily, I'm your best friend." Sara said. "I just don't want anything bad to happen to you."

"Then just let me make this decision by myself." Lily said leaving.

"What decision?" Sara asked.

"Whether or not to ask Sirius to take me back." Lily said closing the door.

In the boys dormitory, another door was closing, but to a much angry room. "What the hell are you trying to do?" James yelled at Sirius.

"Look, Lily is cute and if I like her and she likes me, then it would work out and all." Sirius said. "I mean, Prongs, she doesn't even like you. She calls you the Prat Prince."

"Only her friend Sara calls me that." James said. "Lily calls me James."

"She still likes me." Sirius said.

"Then why did she just break up with you, Padfoot?" James asked.

"Because I was being a good friend this week and being a horrible boyfriend so she would dump me." Sirius said. "Remember now? I felt bloody horrible treating Lily like that."

"Do you remember that you were going to be a bad boyfriend so I could have a chance?" James said. "So I could go out with her."

"Okay then, let her decide." Sirius said. "We will both go after her, and she will chose the one she likes better."

"No fair, we already know she obsessed over you all this year." James said. "Lily will obviously go for you."

"Okay then, I'll ask for Lily back on a trial period to see if we will work out." Sirius said thinking quickly. "During the trial period, we can date other people. If she chooses you, then I'll tell her it's off. But if she stays with me, then back off."

"Whatever you say, Padfoot." James said. "Whatever you say."

"Sirius?" Lily's voice said, as there was a knock on the door. "I think we need to talk."

"Sure, I'll come out there." Sirius said. He turned to James and said, "Remember our deal." He went out to talk to Lily. James sat down on his bed. He read a little of the Potions homework he was supposed to be doing, but that was too boring. Instead, he talked Remus into a game of chess.

"Check." Remus said. "So during the trial period both of you can go out with Lily?"

"Technically." James said as he protected his king. "If Lily doesn't chose me, I don't know what I'll do. I think I'm starting to really like her, mate."

"Check." Remus said as he moved his piece again. "Don't you think that's a little mean to Lily though? She won't want to hurt you as a friend, but she likes Sirius."

"I guess." James said moving his king again. "But don't you think it's a little mean to me that I watch Padfoot kissing someone I think I love?"

"I suppose. But if you really loved her, wouldn't you want her to be happy? And if she's happy with Sirius, don't you want her to be with Sirius, then?" Remus said. He moved his piece. "Checkmate."

James looked at his friend, look at the board and said, "Brilliant. Bloody brilliant, Moony."
