Love,

The last day of their first month of school, during the night, Lily woke up drenched in sweat and crying. She had had that dream again. Those cold, merciless eyes still stared at her from the shadows. She felt a fear she had experienced only once before. She shook her head to clear it. What name had she called out? Harry? She couldn't stop crying. Hannah had woken up, as did the rest of the dormitory, when Lily had screamed.

"Lily? Are you okay? Lily?" Lily didn't respond. She just sat in her bed looking straight ahead of her.

"What happened?" asked a girl named Jane in their dormitory.

"Nothing," hissed Hannah. "Go back to sleep."

"Okay," said Jane falling down on her pillow. The other six girls in their dormitory did likewise. Lily looked as if she was in shock.

"Lil?" Lily turned to look at Hannah, fear and anger in her eyes.

"Don't call me that," she whispered in icy tones. "That's James's nickname for me, not yours."

"Okay...Lily. I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

Lily didn't answer.

"Did-did you have that dream again?"

Lily, looking at the wall, nodded.

"I'll go get you some water."

Lily sat gasping, staring still at the wall, listening to her heart race. Hannah returned about ten minutes later with a glass of water.

"I had to go to the boy's dorm to get a glass. Seems as if the first years got thirsty during the night, though that might be because they accidentally ate those fire mints Sirius invented."

Lily smiled weakly. Hannah gave her the glass and said,"Drink."

Lily swallowed the water, letting its coolness wash over her.

"Why do I keep having that dream Hannah? That is the second time this month."

"I don't know. Lay back down. You all right now?"

Lily smiled. "Yes, thanks."

"Sleep then."

"Okay."

Hannah went and lay back in her mahogany four poster and was soon breathing deeply in sleep, but Lily still lay awake. She didn't sleep at all that night the dream was still in her head.

James was also awake, lying in bed staring up at his canopy. Lily, there was something about Lily this year. He couldn't get her out of his mind. They had always been friends true, but this was a different feeling; not a feeling of friendship, but a good feeling all the same.

"We are just friends," James said to himself. "Nothing more, nothing less." He knew he couldn't ask for more; only two years age she had hated him. Suddenly the door opened though nobody was there. James stared as the door closed and Sirius appeared.

James sat up in bed," How did you get my cloak?"

"Nicked it," said Sirius calmly. James narrowed his eyes and a mischievous smile played on his lips.

"Where have you been?"

"Where are Mark and Hal?" asked Sirius changing the subject.

"With their girlfriends. Where have you been?"

Sirius glanced at the ceiling. "Uhh, out."

"Out? Out with Jessica you mean."

Sirius looked at James, "So?"

"So...details," said James looking excited.

"I don't kiss and tell."

"Kiss? Hahaha," said James laughing uncontrollably.

"Wha-what'd I miss," said Remus groggily as he sat up in bed.

"What are you doing in here?" Sirius asked surprised. "It was too noisy in my dorm due to a certain Gryffindor boy and Ravenclaw girl," Remus yawned.

"Oh. Ew," said Sirius. "I didn't need to know that."

James interrupted, "Sirius here was just telling me that when he's with Jessica he doesn't kiss and tell." Remus now looked wide awake at this statement. Meanwhile Sirius had been changing into his pajamas.

"You don't kiss and tell," said Remus laughing. "Was that also your pickup line?"

"No. I have ones much better 'an that."

"Like..." said James. "Like...If looks could kill, I'd be ten feet under; or...Your name lady or do angels have names...I'm an encyclopedia."

James was laughing hysterically.

"You could use some of them James," said Sirius. "It would help you to get laid more often."

James stopped laughing. "Really?"

Sirius laughed at James's face. "Yeah girls would be all over you if you used one of my methods. I mean 'cause hey, I'm a ladies man."

James started laughing, "Yeah your mom's man!" Remus thought for a second that Sirius was going to kill James.

"I was joking!" said James a tad bit scared.

Sirius who couldn't keep a straight face any longer burst out laughing. "I am Spartacus! All fear me! Including-"

Sirius didn't finish his sentence because a pillow hit him in the head.

"This is war!" Sirius yelled. Remus, James, and Sirius began their pillow war and Sirius was winning when there came a knock at the door. They all froze. Remus got out from behind James's trunk and answered the door, it was Hannah.

"You guys have a glass I could borrow?" she asked smiling at Remus. Remus didn't answer as he was to busy staring at Hannah in her short shorts and tight t-shirt.

"Uh yeah," said James standing up from his hiding place behind Mark's bed. "I'll get you one."

Remus blushed at Hannah's stare and glanced down, and then he realized he was only in his boxers, his werewolf boxers to be exact. He looked up hurriedly and saw that Hannah was also blushing.

She looked away first. "Hey Sirius I like your boxers." Sirius's boxers had flames on the bottom and said across the top 'Hunk 'o Burnin' Love'.

"Why thank you Hannah, would you like to see-"

"No definitely not!"

"Okay just asking," said Sirius shrugging. "So what's wrong anyway? Why do you need the glass?"

"Lily."

"What's wrong with her?" Sirius asked worriedly.

"She had that dream again."

"Again," said James as he walked into the room in his Quidditch boxers. "How is she?" He asked as he handed Hannah the glass.

"This is the worst yet. She woke up screaming. I had better get back," she said.

"You want me to come too?" James asked.

"No I can handle it; anyway I don't think you want Lily to see you in your Quidditch boxers, though you have a great body...nice abs."

"Oh thanks. Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Thanks for the glass."

"No problem," said Remus breathlessly. Hannah gave Remus one last smile and hurried back to the girl's dorm. Sirius nudged James as Remus slowly closed the door.

"Remus doesn't need a pickup line; he's already got her hooked." Remus blushed bright red.

"Yeah she sure took the bait," James said. "To bad, I was going to ask her out."

"You still can James if you want to," said Remus looking so very crestfallen that James laughed.

"I'm kidding. She's yours, you can tell by looking at you two." Remus laughed.

"Shut up Prongs."

"Yeah Prongs, don't feel jealous," Sirius piped up.

"Lily'll like you someday." James face became serious.

"What do you mean?"

"Well it's obvious you like her," said Sirius matter-of-factly.

"We've only been back one month and you've already picked out a girl for yourself, Remus, and me."

"I know," said Sirius airily. "I'm just a hunk 'o burnin' love."

"Sure Spartacus," said James shaking his head. "Goodnight all."

"So Prongs," said Remus mischievously, "Do you like her?"

For an answer Remus got another pillow in the face. "I'll take that as a yes," said Remus.

James didn't answer.

Sirius smiled to himself. "James can't hide it from me, his best friend; he likes her...a lot."

James tossed and turned the rest of the night and never slept a wink.
