(Thanks for the reviews! I just want to say if I ever put Harry down in this story, it's supposed to be James. Sorry about that!)

"So if you mix a little bit of a Sleeping potion with a Truth-telling potion, you can knock someone out?" Lily asked. "You've got to be kidding me James."

"No, Lily, I'm serious." James said. "I mixed them once, so I could get someone to tell me something in his sleep, and it knocked him out."

"I do not believe you James Potter." Lily said. "It's impossible! How could you even make the two potions anyway? You're cauldron has a leak."

"How do you think it got the leak?" James said. "Sirius was there. Weren't you Sirius?"

Sirius looked up from the Qudditch magazine he was reading. "What?" Sirius said. "Oh, right, that's why we call it the Leaky Cauldron." Sirius finished the lame joke and went back to his reading.

"That was the worst joke ever!" Lily said laughing.

"Then why are you laughing so hard?" James said. "Well, Lily?"

"Because you two are idiots!" Lily said laughing. James laughed with her and hit her lightly. Lily hit back a little harder. And James hit back again a little harder. Lily finally tackled him (she seems to be doing that a lot lately) and started play fighting with him. This caught Sirius' attention. He did not like James playing with Lily like that.

"What do you two think you're doing?" Sirius said, trying to pull James off Lily.

"We were just playing, Sirius." Lily said. "It was no big deal."

"Yeah, well maybe it was for me." Sirius said. "What, do you like him now?"

"What happened to trial period?" Lily said. "And James and I are just friends."

"Whatever." Sirius said leaving the common room. Lily looked at James, who was looking at the ground.

"Sorry about that." James said.

"Don't be, it's not your fault." Lily said. "I just didn't know Sirius could get so..."

"Jealous? Yeah." James said. "I just don't want to break up you and Sirius."

"Really?" Lily said.

"Really." James said. "After all, what are friends for?" Lily hugged James. She had never had a real guy friend before. It felt great.

"Well, I better put away the Potions homework." Lily said, walking back up to her room. She went up to her room and she heard Norma and Sara talking.

"I just think that maybe James isn't so horrible after all." Norma said.

"Hello? What are you thinking, Norma?" Sara said. "Why else would we call him the Prat Prince?"

"Only you call him that now." Norma pointed out. "I would rather call him James."

"So now you like Potter, too?" Sara said. "First Lily, but you Norma?"

"Lily doesn't like James any more than a friend." Lily said as she walked in. "I just finished my Potions homework. You should be proud, Norma."

"Lily, about what I was saying..." Sara said.

"Forget it." Lily said. "By the way, Sirius and I are back together on a trial period."

"How long did it take you to convince him to that?" Sara asked.

"He thought of it." Lily said. "He wanted to make sure it would work."

"Is it?" Norma asked. Lily opened her mouth to say yes, but then didn't respond. She put her Potion things away and went back to the common room.

"I would take that as a no." Sara said.

(What will happen during the trial period? Please Review!)
