"Well, I think they're kissing now." Sirius said, looking at the map. "Or at least they ought to be."
"Sirius, you're keeping us all up with your chattering." Remus said, "Go to sleep."
"Not till James comes back. I want to know why he was fighting the suit of armor." Sirius asked. "It looked rather funny, don't you think?"
"You're the one who doesn't think, remember, Padfoot?" Remus said smiling.
"A sense of humor! He's almost better!" Sirius shouted.
"Be quiet, fool! It's almost two o'clock in the morning." Remus said looking at the clock.
"Actually, it's almost three o'clock. That clock is an hour slow." Sirius said as he sat on sleeping Peter. "Hey, I'm not keeping Peter up with my chattering!"
"You know him. He'd have a huge fight and go to sleep three seconds later." Remus said.
"True. Why isn't James back yet?" Sirius said looking at the map. "He's just standing outside of her room. Don't tell me they go into another fight so quickly that she threw him out! They fight too much."
"Let's just hope it's not another fight." Remus said.
"Yeah, I hope not..." Sirius said, secretly wishing that it were. Although he hated going against his best mate like this, he still liked Lily. 'If only they weren't so perfect for each other,' Sirius thought.
Outside of Lily's room, James was thinking along the same lines. 'We are so perfect for each other.' James thought as he stood outside of Lily's room. No, they were not in another fight, but he just didn't want to leave yet. Lily Evans loves him. Lily loves James. Mr. & Mrs. James Potter. Mrs. Lily Potter. It just works.
Lily inside was having very different thoughts. 'I love James. Do I? Yes, I do. But Sirius.... I love James.' Lily fell asleep and started having a dream.
"This is very exciting, Lily." Dream Sirius said. "You and James are great for each other."
"Yes, I know." Dream Lily said looking down at the ring on her left hand. "I can't believe James proposed."
"I can. You're smart, funny, kind, caring..."Sirius said, "And very beautiful."
"You think I'm beautiful?" Lily said, "I mean, James does?"
"Yes. Extremely lovely." Sirius said moving closer to Lily.
"How extreme?" Lily whispered.
"This extreme." Sirius said putting his arms around her and kissing her. Even Dream Lily thought it was amazing, and much better than James' kisses.
When they pulled away, Lily was smiling. "That's pretty extreme." Lily said smiling.
"Lily?" James said from behind her. Lily turned around and saw James in a tux and with a wedding behind him. Lily looked at what she was wearing and suddenly she was in a wedding dress. "Are you coming?"
"Lily, come with me," Sirius said. He had their entire luggage with him and two broomsticks. They were not there before, but in dreams, that happens.
"James, I love you," Lily said, "But I love Sirius as well."
"Lily, we are meant for each other." James said. "I proposed and you accepted. We are perfect for each other."
"Lily, I'm more exciting." Sirius said. "We will always have an adventure and you know it. We are perfect for each other." Lily stood between her two loves for a while, but eventually she chose James. She looked back at crushed Sirius. Dream Sirius seemed to crack and fall apart-literally. Lily tried to go back and fix the damage, but she couldn't. She regretted not choosing Sirius, but knew she would live a happy, boring life with James. James adored Lily, and he would be happy. Lily would be happy, but not satisfied. With Sirius, she knew she would love him more than anything and have fun. But she couldn't make her decision over. Lily was suddenly sitting trapped in a seat, in her wedding gown, and she couldn't get up. She heard a high-pitched laughter and woke up suddenly.
"Norma, Sara! Get up. I need your advice." Lily said shaking her friends.
"Lils, it's the middle of the night. Can't it wait?" Sara said.
"No, it can't." Lily said shaking them more.
"Why not?" Norma said groggily."
"I think I love Sirius." Lily said bluntly.
"What?" Sara said, suddenly wide-awake.
"You're joking, you have to be." Norma said, awake now as well.
"No I just had a dream, and well..." Lily said and explained her dream to them. "And to make matters worse, I...I told James I loved him tonight."
"Do you love him?" Norma asked.
"Yes, of course!" Lily said. "I mean, I thought I did, but then this dream..."
"What was that high-pitched laughter at the end?" Sara asked.
"Oh, I-uh, I don't really know, I mean..." Lily stuttered.
"Doesn't You-Know-Who laugh like that?" Norma asked.
"Oh, well, I'm not sure..." Lily said.
"Yeah, he always did when I was hanging out with him." Sara said.
"It wasn't Voldemort, okay?" Lily said a bit too loudly. Sara and Norma fell silent because nobody said Who-Know-Who's name.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Sara asked, genuinely concerned.
"Nothing, okay? Maybe I should just go back to sleep." Lily said getting back into bed. "Good-night."
"Lily, if you want to talk..." Norma said.
"I said good-night!" Lily said forcefully. Sara and Norma looked at each other, shrugged, and went back to sleep.
