Well here is the next chapter in the soap opera of Lily and James's life…I hope you all think it is scrumptious! Reviews are welcomed! Two reviews per person would be swell, but we can't have everything can we? Oh well…Love to all, Iris

Stars burst in Lily's head. She never wanted the kiss to end, she wanted him to hold her until the world ended…but a little voice in the back of her head was protesting.

"You're kissing another girl's boyfriend," it said accusingly. Lily knew it was true and knew it had to end. She gently pushed James away.

"What? What's wrong?"

"James…I…the song has ended," Lily said lamely. James looked confused.

"Damn my conscious!" Lily shouted. She turned to James carefully avoiding his eyes. "Morgan is waiting for you inside."

James's faced cleared then clouded over again. He nodded.

"Let's just pretend this never happened," said Lily nervously her back to him. James looked up.

"I can't to that Lil," he said turning her around. Lily turned away from him so that he wouldn't see her tears.

"Of course you can…and Morgan can help you," she added bitterly.

"No I can't, and she never can…I love you Lil." Lily turned to face him, and he saw the pain on her face.

"Goodnight James," she said turning away. James looked down at his feet.

"Goodnight…Lil." Lily began walking away but before she could get two steps James grabbed her arm, and turned her to face him.

"I want you to know that I will never forget this night and that no matter what happens I will always love you Lil, I believe I always have and I always will."

"Oh James," said Lily fighting the temptation to kiss him, gave him a pained look and before he could stop her, fled.

Hannah was in the Entrance Hall with Remus, when she saw Lily rush in the front doors crying.

"Lily!" Lily glanced up and seeing who it was slowed down.

"Lily what's wrong?"

"I-I," Lily sobbed. Suddenly the front doors slammed open and James rushed in.

"Lily!" Lily took one terrified glance behind her and began running up the stairs.

"Lily! Please!" Lily turned around to face James, tears rolling down her face mixing in her makeup.

"Please, listen to me Lil…" Hannah glanced from Lily to James then to the open doors of the Great Hall and all of the prying eyes watching them.

"I can't James…I'm sorry," and she turned and ran. James made to follow her, but Remus put out a hand and stopped him.

"Leave her be Prongs."

"What happened," Hannah asked eyeing James appraisingly. James didn't answer.

"James," said a voice behind him. He reluctantly turned away from the stairs to face the speaker.

"James what was all that about?" said Morgan glancing around James to the spot Lily had been a moment before.

"Nothing," he muttered. "Shall we dance?"

Morgan nodded suspiciously but took his offered hand. Hannah and Remus exchanged glances and Remus nodded. Hannah followed Lily up the stairs and soon found herself in front of the door to her dormitory. She slowly opened the door and peeked in. Lily lay on her bed face down sobbing into her pillow.

"Lily," she ventured.

"Go away," was the muffled reply. Hannah walked in and shut the door behind her.

"Lily, do you want to talk about it?" Lily sat up and turned to face Hannah with an angry glare that quickly turned into a weak smile.

"No. Thank you, but no. That's between me and him." Hannah nodded.

"You do look like you need a hug though…" "I would like that," said Lily. Hannah sat down and let Lily cry out all of her tears on her shoulder.
