James woke up several times in the middle of the night. He knew why. He was awful to Lily. He avoided her as much as possible. He pretended she didn't exist when he couldn't avoid her. This gave him nightmares. He dreamed that there was a wedding. He tried to remember who's. Lily was in a wedding gown, and yes, yes she was marrying James. Then someone took a picture and Sirius was laughing madly. That's all he could remember. What could Dream-Sirius be planning?

When James realized he would not get any sleep, he decided to sneak into the girl's dormitory and burst through Lily's room and kiss her. He didn't care that she shared a room with Sara and Norma. He could get past them, even if they were her best mates. (He was oblivious to the fight earlier.)

Being a Marauder, James was good at sneaking and being quiet. Plus, he had his Invisibility Cloak. James sneaked quietly and stopped when he made a creak in the floorboards. He knew where the floorboards made creak everywhere but because he was overexcited, he wasn't being as careful as he could be. 'Where is her room?' James said not being able to see very well in the dark. Suddenly he tripped over a big pile of what seemed to be clothing in the middle of the hallway. "What is bloody hell is this?" James said quietly.

"Who's there?" Lily said groggily.

"Lily? Lily what are you doing out in the hallway?" James asked. "And with every article of clothing you own?"

"I got kicked out of my room." Lily said. "Where are you? Oh forget it. Lumos. Well that's better."She explained what had happened earlier that night. "So, Norma and Sara kicked me out."

"Lily, I'm so sorry about all this." James said. "It was partly my fault. Norma and Sara told me to stay away, so I did. I feel awful about it."

"It's not your fault, James." Lily said. "Well, yeah, I guess it is, cause I got kicked out because I was defending you."

"You're a good friend, Lily Evans." James said moving closer.

"Thanks." Lily said. James leaned towards her and then Sara walked out of her room. Lily put out her wand. Sara went to the bathroom and went back to her room. When she was back in her room, Lily started laughing.

"Will you be quiet?" James said, starting to laugh. "You're making me laugh." This only made Lily laugh more. James covered her with one of her sweaters, so Lily hit him. They play fought for a while until James kissed her. Lily was a little shocked at first, but was amazed at how right it felt. When James pulled away, Lily smiled at him.

"Lily?" James said softly.

"Yes?" Lily said eager to know what he would say.

"How on earth can you be comfortable on this heap of clothing?" James said crawling off.

"You get used to it, I suppose." Lily said giggling.

"Come with me." James said. "But be quiet." He put the Invisibility Cloak over her and himself and walked downstairs. He sat her down in one of the big armchairs. "Wait here." He said taking off the Invisibility Cloak. She waited a while and he came back with a big blanket. He tucked her in.

"This is much more comfortable." Lily said. "But my clothes..."

"Will be put back into your dormitory." James said. "Sweet dreams, Evans." Although this was the same thing Sara and Norma had said earlier, it seemed much more appropriate now.

"Night, Potter." Lily said. She snuggled into the armchair. 'What will tomorrow bring?' Lily thought as she fell asleep.

The next thing Lily knew, James was shaking her. "Lily! Lily wake up! There's a fire!" Lily got up immediately and followed the rest of the kids outside. Once outside, everyone noticed that there was no smoke or fire, for that matter. Everyone shuffled back inside where there was an assembly in the dining hall.

"Apparently," The headmaster said, "someone put a charm on the tapestries to make them look as if they were on fire. We are not leaving until we find out who this person is." Everyone undoubtedly thought it was one of The Marauders playing another practical joke. James knew he didn't do it, but everyone around him was giving him nasty looks.

Lily, had being separated from James, was looking for him. She saw Norma and smiled at her. Norma smiled back until Sara cam over and they both gave her a disgusted look. Lily turned and kept looking for James. Soon, she heard Sara's voice saying, "Look what you're little boyfriend did now, Evans."

Lily turned around and saw Sara standing there with Norma not too far behind. "Oh, shut it, will you?" Lily turned back around and kept looking for James.

"Just pointing out what happens when you go out with one of The Marauders. You seem to be running through them. Who's next? Peter or Remus?"

"I said, shut it, Mallot." Lily said trying to stay calm.

"I personally prefer Remus, but you never take my advice, do you, Evans?"

"Shut it, moron!" Lily said losing her temper.

"Mudblood." Sara said. Lily slowly turned around and everyone near went quiet.

"What did you call me, Mallot?" Lily said clenching her fists.

"You heard me, you filthy mudblood." Sara said spitting on her.

"Attention students!" the headmaster said. "I have just been informed by Mr. Potter that he saw Miss Mallot putting charms on the tapestries. He said he did see Miss Kadrow there, but she was not doing anything."

"I didn't do it!" Sara said. "I was I in bed!"

"I heard you get up." Lily said, thinking quickly. "You made me sleep in the hallway and I heard you go out of your room."

"I was going to the bathroom!" Sara said.

"You kicked her out of her room?" a student said.

"How mean." another said.

"I heard her call Lily Evans a mudblood," said someone else.

"Some friend she is," someone else said. Sara didn't really hear any of this because a prefect came over to take her to the Headmaster's office. Lily saw James standing near Remus. She smiled and waved. He waved back. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see Sirius.

"Don't even." Lily said and walked away. 'He's not so horrible, ' said a little voice in her head. 'Where did that come from? Of course he is.' Lily thought, only half believing it.

(Does Lily still like Sirius? Will Lily, Sara and Norma make up? Please review!)
