"Lily, how are you?" James said the next morning sitting down to Lily. 'Just pretend nothing happened.' James reminded himself.

"Hello, Potter." Lily said coldly.

"So, I was thinking maybe you would want to go to the Halloween dance with me." James said. "I think it would be a good idea, don't you?"

"Shut it, Potter." Lily said.

"What?" James said pretending to act confused.

"I said shut it, Potter." Lily said nastily. Then, quietly and sadly, she added, "Please, James. Just go." She sounded so sad and vulnerable, James was caught off guard. He was used to girls yelling at him and telling him how horrible he was. James got up quietly and left. Lily ate the rest of her cereal quietly. She knew everyone was looking at her. When she was with Sirius and James hanging out, she didn't care. Now she just wanted some privacy. She wanted to scream at everyone, "What, is your life that boring that you have to watch mine to get some excitement?" Instead, she got up and left the Dining Hall.

"Lily, are you okay?" Norma asked. "I was just going to the Dining Hall to join you. Did you already finish?" Lily couldn't talk. She just nodded and went up to the common room. "Okay then, see you later, I guess." Norma called after her and went to the dinging Hall herself.

"I just saw Potter and I flipped him the bird for you. Thank me later." Sara said. "Finish already? I'll join you in the common room if you want." Lily shook her head and kept walking. "Lily? LILY? Okay then. Later for you." Sara rolled her eyes and walked to the Dining Hall.

Lily went to the common room and saw James just sitting in a chair. He looked up when Lily walked in. He sort of smiled at her. Lily still wore her blank expression and nodded her head upstairs. James gave her a questioning look. Lily nodded a little more and James got it. Lily went upstairs and waited for James. About two minutes later, James came upstairs. "Lily, let me explain last night." James said as he came in. Lily grabbed him and kissed him. When they pulled away she was smiling. Then she slapped him. "Ouch! Confuse me a bit more, will you?" James said.

"How dare you leave me last night?" Lily said and kissed him again. She didn't slap him again, though. Instead, she kicked him in the leg. "Do you know how much you hurt me?" She went to kiss him again, but James pulled away.

"Wait, wait, wait!" James said, gasping for breath. "Stop kissing me and hurting me."

"Now you know what it feels like." Lily said.

"Look, Lily, I know I hurt you, but I want to explain myself." James said. He took a breath and tried to remember the story he had come up with earlier. "I had to leave because I remembered an important Quidditch practice."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Lily asked. "And why did you leave when I mentioned the full moon?"

"I left at full moon because we have practices during the full moon because we can see." James said. "You know, from the moon."

"Why didn't you tell me that?" Lily said.

"I thought you would be more upset if you knew I was leaving you for a sport." James said. "Any more questions?"

"Just one." Lily said stepping closer to him. "Why are you lying to be, jerk?" She slapped him and left the room. 'Damn.' James thought.

"Lily, wait!" James called, running after her.

"No! I hate you for not trusting me!" Lily shouted back.

"I do trust you!" James said catching up to her in the common room. He grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Will you stop walking away?"

"You don't trust me, James Potter." Lily said. "Otherwise you would tell me the truth. I already know about...about Moony." Lily used Remus' nickname so other people wouldn't know.

"How?" James asked.

"Norma told me." Lily said.

"How does she know?" James asked. "Did Moony tell her?"

"I don't know how she knows, but she does." Lily says. "Why didn't you think you could trust me with this secret?"

"I couldn't. I promised Moony." James said. "I didn't want to go against my promise. I felt bad about it, but I didn't know how I could tell you."

"I understand." Lily said.

"Do you forgive me?" James said, putting his arms around him. Lily smiled and kissed him. She was still smiling after they had stopped. "I'll take that as a yes. Unless you hit me again." Lily smiled.

"Sorry about before." Lily said. "I was just mad."

"With good reasons." Sara said.

"Sara, will you shut it for one minute?" James said, very politely I might add.

"James, will you go away for one minute?" Sara said, just as politely.

"Will you both stop for one minute?" Lily said. "Sara, I like James. Get over you're little Prat Prince thing, okay? James, Sara is my friend, the same as Moony is your friend. Will you two at least try to get along? For me?" Sara and James sort of mumbled in positive agreement. "Good." Lily said smiling. Sara rolled her eyes behind Lily's back. She stomped upstairs.

"She's just jealous." James said. Lily thought about how, uh.... rudely, let's say, Sara talked about James.

"I doubt it." Lily said laughing.

"What's that supposed to mean? Lily? Seriously, now." James said smiling. Lily kept laughing. At last they were together.
