Sara had pretty much been ignoring Lily for the since the fake fire. "It was practically three days ago, how could she still be mad? It's not like I told James to tell The Head master that she did it." Lily complained to Norma, who was neutral right now. Lily was grateful for that, seeing as since the kiss, it was awkward to talk to James. She could always talk to Remus, but sometimes you just need your best girl friend.

"Well, she doesn't know that. And you did help it along, you know." Norma said. "But you guys have been friends since you were two, she can't stay mad for long." Lily wanted to believe Norma, but she knew Sara better. She was the biggest grudge-holder ever.

"I've just been so confused lately, Norma. Between James, Sara and Sirius, I don't know what I can do." Lily said. "If you weren't my friend, I don't know what I would do."

"Sleep in the hallway." Norma said laughing. Since Norma had become Lily's friend again, Lily moved back into her room. That was a nasty scene.

"What is she doing here?" Sara had said when Lily walked in with Norma.

"It is my room too, you know." Lily said. "But don't worry. You won't notice me all that much since you'll always be in detention."

"Shut it." Sara said to Lily. She turned to Norma and said, "So you're letting her in?"

"Well, yeah." Norma had said. She was acting very shy like because she hated fights. "I mean, who cares who Lily likes? I want to be her friend."

"Fine then, you go out with Remus." Sara said. "But hurry before Evans snatches him up, too."

"Oh shut it, you jealous fool." Lily said. And with that, Sara left. Lily did feel bad about what she had said when she moved back in, but she was too angry to care at the time. Besides, Sara was mean first.

"Look," Norma said, pulling her back to present time. "James is coming into the common room...Oh, Lily, maybe you shouldn't look." But of course, Lily had already looked. There was James with his arms around another girl. He looked around room, noticing how everyone was staring at him. He looked at Lily a half-second longer than everybody else.

"What, have you never seen a guy with his girl before?" James said.

"Yeah, they have, but what are you doing with her?" a voice said from within the crowd. Lily looked at Norma, but she just shrugged.

"What do you mean?" James said. "And who said that?"

"Nobody you really care about, but I know someone who deeply cares about you." The voice said. "I don't know why, but they do. Why are you hurting her so badly?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." James said. "C'mon, honey." He started to leave.

"Lily Evans." The voice said. James froze. "Lily really likes you, and the whole school knows you like her back. Why are you with this girl? Nothing against her, really, but why would you be with her if you like Lily?"

"Tell me who you are." James said.

"A concerned friend." The voice said. "I guess I was right, Lily is better without you."

"Who are you? I will not ask again." James said, trying to fie the voice in the crowd.

"Good, it's getting redundant." The voice said. "Kind of like the redundancy of you and Lily. You're not together, then you are, then you're not, then you are again."

"I want to know who you are." James said. The crowd parted and the voice was standing in front of James. Lily and Norma still couldn't see though. "I should have known." James said and walked away with the other girl. The crowd moved away slowly, and Sara was walking towards them.

"You?" Lily asked, amazed at her friend.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Evans." Sara said smiling. "But if you don't hug me right now, I will kick you and Norma out." Lily smiled and gave Sara the biggest hug ever.

"That's more like it." Norma said, joining the hug. "Now, to catch you up, Sara."

"Yes, what have you two been talking about the last couple of days?" Sara said, sitting down on the floor with the other two. "I mean, besides talking about how bitchy I've been."

"You were just mad, it's okay." Lily said. "I was bitchy, too."

"Well, yeah, you were." Sara said. The three girls laughed and talked for hours.

Across the room, Sirius Black was trying to figure something out. 'So, if James is with another girl, then technically, Lily is free to see other guys.' Sirius smiled and went to see if he could talk to Remus. When he found him, he put on a big fake smile. "What do you want?" Remus said.

"I need to know everything on how to treat a girl nicely." Sirius said.

"To win Lily back?" Remus said.

"Or something like that, yes." Sirius said.

"Sirius, she doesn't like you." Remus said bluntly.

"That's because I'm a worthless jerk who was horrible to her." Sirius said. "I need you're help to change that."

"Well, okay. But you've got to stop asking me if you can copy my homework." Remus said.

"I promise I won't." Sirius said solemnly.

"Deal." Remus said.

"It was worth a try." Sirius said. "But I'm always going to ask to copy."

"Not if you want to win Lily back." Remus said. "I mean, you can ask to copy from me, but you can't ask from Lily."

"Why not?" Sirius asked in confusion.

"Because she's would be your girlfriend." Remus explained.

"This is going to be harder than I thought." Sirius said.

(Will Sirius become a gentleman? Will James dump that other girl? Please review!)
