YES, THE INSANE ONE HAS RETURNED WITH EVEN MORE TORTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAH! I is loving to do that so much. I don't know why, but I love to do that. Well their break-up is not what anyone expected was it, or Amberle's confession? Good. I like thinking out the box. My computer had officially decided that it wants to annoy the piss outta me. It completely froze up the other day, losing the entire chapter 15 that I had already almost finished with, so I had to re-write it again. POC (or my version of piece-o-crap).

For those who don't know, I officially posted my original story on . It is called The Warlock's Legacy. I know crappy title at first but it actually has quite a bit to do with the main plot. If anyone wants to read it I will be glad to hear responses on what da people think. The Warlock's Legacy is by Vilya of the wind. Narya of the fire was already taken, so I did Vilya. My original story will not be updated as much as this one because I have major plans for The Warlock's Legacy and I am making the chapters almost double of what this one is. And if you are wondering why I chose Vilya for my name and Nenya here is why: Nenya is so over-done just because Galadriel uses the ring of water so I wanted to give Vilya a shot at glory. Besides I like Elrond who wields Vilya. And for the record if any of you have no clue as to what I am talking about, because one of my friends looked at me like I was crazy when we brought up The Lord of the Rings and I mentioned Narya, Nenya and Vilya. Narya, Nenya and Vilya are the three Elven Rings of Power. Narya is the ring of Fire, Nenya the ring of Water and Vilya the Ring of Wind. They are wielded by Gandalf (Narya), Elrond (Vilya) and Galadriel (Nenya).

Author's Note: Well this really isn't anything important, but I had to put it here anyway. For those of you wondering why I chose to make Lily a lot closer to Amberle than to Dorcas (who is a real character from Harry Potter, see Order of the Pheonix but I think I have already explained this), who is the say that Amberle will last much longer (coughforshadowingcough) and the same thing with Anthy, but I think that a majority of folks have figured out Anthy by now. Oh yeah, and our favorite couple won't stay broken up for too much longer. And lastly, it is true that James did save Snape's life but according to book 3, Prisoner of Azkaban, that whole incident happened in their 6th year. Read it for yourselves.

And now on with the show…

VXIXV

For the first time in almost two weeks Lily was perfectly happy and wasn't thinking about James. Dorcas, Anthy and Amberle were ecstatic that Lily was finally beginning forget about that ass, as they put it. But of course if it had not been for the fact that Lily's 17th birthday was to arrive in two weeks time she would still be moping around the school. Even the teachers seemed to notice an improvement in her personality since the entire school had found out about the break up. Lily acted as though it was raining galleons despite losing the hottest and most sought out after guy in Hogwarts. Of course that made Lily liked even more by the entire female population of the school because that meant that James was free for the taking. She had been confronted by several girls asking how she managed to snag James in the first place but Lily simply said nothing and walked off. Nearly two and a half months had passes since Lily and James' mysterious fight and the weather was beginning to lighten up from the chilly December and January frost. Lily's birthday fell on February 28th, right when winter would just begin to fade away and the first sprouts of spring shot through the hardened earth.

For Valentine's Day Lily received dozens of love letters from over-hormonal guys in all four houses. Of course she read them with good spirits and took delight in practicing her vanishing spell homework for Professor McGonagall by vanishing all of their letters. Anthy most like scarred away any and all possible guys with her gothic demeanor, but she still manage to scrape a few valentines. One blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy from Hufflepuff asked out Dorcas for the Valentine's Day Hogsmead visit. In complete contrast to her character, Dorcas accepted and for once wasn't seen glomping the Quidditch supplies that the small village provided. Amberle was particularly grim but she thoroughly enjoyed the honking dandelions she received from Sirius Black. Her mood was lifted significantly after that and enjoyed a nice round of Wizard Chess with Sirius to which she sorely lost.

Lily soon found herself somewhat lonely half-way through Valentine's Day. She had run out of letters to Vanish and all of her friends, save Anthy, were occupied. However Lily figured that she shouldn't waste a perfectly good day and went down to Hogsmead with Anthy. It was good to get in some nice quiet time with her silent friend. Anthy always seemed to know the right answer for everything in her modest ways. By the end of Valentine's Day, Lily was very happy with her significantly lighter money bag and lap-full of gadgets from Hogsmead. Time passed quickly for Lily and she was glad to see it go by smoothly, without a single thought of James, save for that one moment when she saw him with a freckle-faced Ravenclaw girl. But that moment carried more emotion that what she had felt in almost a week. While alone in her dormitory she silently thought "bastard". A few hours, and tears later, Lily tried to convince herself that maybe the girl he was with was just one of his many followers.

James also didn't fair so well on Valentine's Day. His fight with Lily left him moody for several weeks and even after he claimed he got over it James found himself unconsciously thinking about it. Remus did his best to comfort James, saying that Lily was not the sort of person to tell his secret, especially since she had already figured it out. James agreed with Remus just to get him to stop talking about Lily. Although he wouldn't admit it to anyone, even himself, he missed her. Yet his pride would not allow him to apologize. When he saw the flocks of boys approach Lily with invitations for dates his stomach rolled with jealousy. It infuriated him even more that Lily declined each and every one; it was as if she was playing with him! It was as if Lily knew his every emotion and was playing with them, like clay to be molded. But James knew that wasn't true, it wasn't in her nature to do that. She was too pure-hearted to play with his feelings like that. However the herd of girls approaching him at every beck and turn was enough to infuriate him. No matter how many times he told them no they would still come back for more and ask again. Were all girls this dense? 'No' he told himself, Lily wasn't like that. Peter suggested that all of his thinking of Lily is what was getting him down. He just needed a change. James agreed Peter; maybe he did need a change. When heading out for Hogsmead a girl with tan skin, freckles, hazel eyes and chestnut hair asked him out and James accepted. She was pretty enough and seemed quite cheerful so James accepted the offer. The two chatted the whole way to Hogsmead and James eventually found out that her name was Ariana Alveraz.

While walking through Hogsmead James eventually spotted Lily with Anthy. Her other two friends, Dorcas and Amberle, were clearly not with her. 'No wonder Padfoot wanted to stay behind,' James thought in his head, knowing Sirius' liking towards the American. James quickly glanced around to see where Ariana was; she was engaged in a conversation with another girl who seemed to be one of her friends. Lily looked like she was in a deep conversation with Anthy. He momentarily marveled at her eyes, but then reminded himself that she was the one why systematically called him a bastard. When Lily casually glanced up and saw James with Ariana James could tell that she was less than okay with the situation. Her green eyes sparked with an emotion that James had never seen before in Lily, but she quickly regained composer and went along with her conversation with Anthy. After that James was filled with a combination of accomplishment and feeling like an utter ass.

VIV

The next day James was still hanging around Ariana. He didn't know what he wanted to accomplish by acting as if she was his girlfriend, but the idea of a new girlfriend gave him some support. Sirius was clueless as to why James just all the sudden chose to find another girl when it was so obvious to anyone that he still felt significant feelings towards Lily, but they both had enough sense not to ask. Ariana on the other hand seemed pleased with herself for snatching the famous James Potter but she did seem to genuinely like James. Sirius took it upon himself to question Peter as to why he would say such a stupid thing, but Peter didn't have much to say on the matter.

Once again the rumors went flying around the school saying that James had gotten a new girlfriend. It took only a matter of hours for the news to reach Lily and her friends. Outwardly Lily seemed to take the conformation of what she saw in Hogsmead rather well, "It was only a matter of time before he found someone else to snog," she said practically to Dorcas, Anthy and Amberle one night. However that evening Lily went to bed early and came down the next morning with tear stains on her checks. Dorcas went up to go comfort Lily but nothing seemed to help. "Hey, don't worry Lils. He is nothing but an idiotic, pig-headed, son-of-a-harpy," Dorcas said. But that didn't seem to help because all it did was cause Lily to get even more upset and yell at Dorcas to go away. The following morning both friends were back on perfect speaking terms and the subject of James was avidly avoided.

Later on that day Lily decided to go down to the library and study for a few hours. The next day she had a Potions exam that was worth 15 percent of their final grade, and Potions was the class she was having the hardest time in. When she got to the library Lily rejoiced to find that it was nearly empty only a couple of other students were there, all of them seemed more focused on their books than anything else. She took her usual corner in the back part of the library where she would be secluded away from prying eyes. Within ten minutes Lily found at least half a dozen heavy books to stack upon the feeble wooden table she was using and began studying for her Potions exam.

Two hours later Lily had finished three of the six books that were on her table and she decided to put them back. As she returned to her seat Lily found another girl sitting on the opposite side of the table. The girl looked around and spoke up, "I hope you don't mind my using this table," she said sweetly. It was Ariana! A lump of jealousy rose in Lily's throat but she managed, with a large amount of effort, to swallow it down. Ariana seemed to have realized that she was sharing a table with James' ex-girlfriend and she said very quickly, "But if you want me to, I'll move". Lily's view of her seemed to soften a little bit, 'at least she isn't one of those rude trolls in Slytherin. She did have the decency to ask me if she could use my table'.

"Sure, it's no problem at all. But if you don't mind me asking…" Lily was cut off by Ariana.

"Are you sure that you don't want me to leave?" she asked.

"That's not what I meant. What I was about to ask you was if you could just keep quiet so I can study. Tomorrow I have a killer Potions exam," Lily said cheerfully. While examining the girl in front of her Lily noticed her slender curvaceous body, 'no wonder James would want that and not me,' she thought grimly. Ariana had the seemingly perfect body; a petite build, long legs, tan skin, blue eyes…the list went on and on in Lily's mind. A slight wave of depression washed over her but Lily snapped out of it and took to her books again. As a few more minutes passed Lily couldn't seem to concentrate like she could before. The image of James and Ariana kept popping up in her head over and over. Eventually Lily gave up and went to go put her books away when she was stopped by Ariana. "Lily wait," she said.

"Eh?" Lily responded. Why would James' girlfriend stop her, most would be more than glad for Lily to leave.

"I'm sorry," Ariana said with her eyes downcast.

"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything," Lily responded.

"Yes I did. You don't have to pretend, I know that you must hate me," Ariana said, gaining more confidence with each word.

"Why would I hate you? I have never even met you before," said Lily. What was Ariana aiming for? Her blessing? Well she wouldn't get it. Lily knew that it had to be an act.

"You still care for James and he still cares for you," Ariana blurted out. "Don't deny it. It is so obvious when you two look at each other or even utter the other's surname. Listen, if you want I will help you two get back together. He is too care-free for my liking," Ariana offered with all sincerity (a/n: and I bet you all thought I was going to make Ariana a bitch, think again XD).

Lily point black didn't believe what she was hearing and she wouldn't put up with it either. "Listen you don't have to rub it in that James is with you," Lily responded coldly. "Why don't you stop with this load of rubbish you are telling me? He is the infamous James Potter and I'm the bitchy Head Girl. I know you, and every other girl in Hogwarts I might add, went nuts when they found out that we broke up, so cut the crap," Lily said dangerously. She then laughed menacingly, "Although I should warn you, once that bastard gets a nice shag outta you, he is on to the next fish," Lily said. With that Lily stomped out of the library and back up to her dormitory.

Ariana was left at the table. She looked around to make sure that no one was watching and luckily for her everyone else in the library was still reading their books. "Well that didn't go well," Ariana said out loud. "Remus you can come out now, she's gone," Ariana said. Out of a shadow in the library, behind a rather large stack of books Remus emerged. "So much for your plan".

"Hey, it was worth a try. That guy is just too stubborn for his own good," Remus said.

"You can't blame it all on Potter alone. She is more stubborn than he is," Ariana chuckled.

"Still…damnit all. It was my once chance to set things right between them. One chance and I blew it," Remus said.

Right after the fight between Lily and James, Remus felt responsible for their fight and took it upon himself to get them back together. He had searched all throughout the school for a girl that would pretend to go out with James so that Lily would hopefully get back together with him. Remus knew that James had a pole stuck so far up his arse that he would never ever apologize first to anyone, save only his extremely strict mother. Ariana seemed willing to do the job, but as Remus later found out, she had another agenda going on. The pretty Ravenclaw girl was not the angel she looked and acted like. One of her biggest enemies had been a former girlfriend to James and when he dumped her for someone else she became bitterly jealous. The other girl took out all her frustration on Ariana, so this was her way of getting back at her. Ariana already had a boyfriend, Amos Diggory, who also played along with Remus' plan. She had no real interest in James, just to get revenge. Although what Ariana had said to Lily was no lie, James was too care-free and goofy for her tastes.

"Well with plan A out the window, I guess it is time to embark upon plan B," Remus said determinedly.

"You did WHAT?" exclaimed Sirius the next morning in the common room. Most of the students had gone down for breakfast in the Great Hall, but Remus asked if Sirius could stay behind. At first Sirius seemed somewhat reluctant to miss the most important meal of the day, but after some persuasion and the promise of lunch, Remus convinced Sirius to stay behind.

"Shhh, keep it down," Remus whispered. Sirius was his last chance to get a connection for Lily and James to get back together. It was common knowledge that Sirius had become close to Amberle, who was the connection to Lily. James was too stubborn to even conceder being the first one to apologize to Lily and the only thing that you could rely on Peter for was the direction to the nearest toilet. Remus only prayed that Sirius would go along. "Yes I know, it was a dumb idea. But come on, even you have to admit that James was more crazy about Lily than any other girl he had been with," Remus continued.

"No doubts about that. He is crazy for her than a heard of 100 hippogriffs in heat," Sirius said.

"That really wasn't the best mental image there Padfoot," Remus grinned.

"Sorry there mate. You're right, that is image is almost as scary as Snape in a thong. Although note the keyword, almost," Sirius mocked, which was true. He would rather face rampaging hippogriffs than see Snape in a thong. "So anyway, why are you telling me this?" he asked.

"Well seeing as how my first plan went up in complete smoke, I had hoped that you would be willing to help me out with my second plan," Remus said.

"Me? How could I help you out?" questioned Sirius.

"Let's just say that you have connections with Lily's friends that we don't," Remus said with a smirk.

"Oh I get it now. You want me to convince our American friend to be the middleman of sorts, or middle-woman in her case," Sirius said.

"Now if only you would put that great intellect of yours into concentrating on school work," Remus joked.

"Naww, where'd the fun be in that?" Sirius responded. "But yeah, I'm sure that Amberle would be glad to play middleman. After all, you never know what Americans are capable of. They won over the United States after all, "he joked.

"Padfoot, you really are the best friend a chap can have," Remus thanked.

"Don't mention it Moony old man. Ever, really, cause if Lily finds out…damn I can just imagine the damage she will reek," Sirius said. This again was true. James wasn't the only one who was victimized by the wrath of the flower. Sirius had had his own fair share of "Lily damages" throughout Hogwarts. He remembered especially vividly when Lily stole his broom and jinxed it to spit out fireworks and buck off the rider. But that wasn't to say that he didn't deserve it. After all if he had woken up with his cat hideously discolored to Slytherin green, Sirius imaged that he would have done the same thing to Lily's precious books.

Later on that day during lunch Sirius was glad to find that Amberle was circled with her usual company of Dorcas, Anthy and Lily. As a matter of fact Amberle was sitting alone going over some Charms notes. Every once in a while she would look up and take a bite of food but the majority of her concentration was apparently on Charms. Sirius never did like Charms that much and he often did rely on making copies of Lily's notes, un-known to Lily of course. Whenever Lily's notes just happened to be lying around Sirius would quickly make a copy of them and then pretend that he had aced the exam without even studying. "Oi, Amberle!" he called out to her. She looked up from her school work to see Sirius and closed her notes. "Hey Black, how's life been treating you?" Amberle greeted. Her spunky attitude and blunt honesty was what Sirius liked about her. She was a lot like him in the sense that formality was not suited for her.

Amberle walked over to Sirius and quickly shoved the last piece of bread into her mouth. "Listen, there is something that I need you to do for me," Sirius said.

"If you want me to shag you the answer is no," Amberle joked.

"No not really, but I wouldn't say no to the idea," Sirius grinned. He then lowered his voice and continued, "Back to what I wanted to ask you, Remus has been trying to hook James and Evans back together. His first plan went up in flames but we were wondering if you…" Sirius was cut off by Amberle.

"Let me guess, you were wondering as to whether or not I would be the middleman and slip information to and fro from both groups. Am I right, "Amberle retorted with a gleam in her eyes.

"Well, you just hit the nail on the head. But will you?" Sirius asked. "Please, James has turned into such an arse since they had their fight," he begged, giving Amberle his puppy dog eyes. The girls at the school tables all looked at Amberle with complete and utter loathing.

"Seeing as how Lily is also acting like the wicked witch of the west, I guess I'll give you a hand. And I already got the perfect start. Her birthday is next week and we were all planning a surprise party for her. Get Potter to apologize to her, or at least have him show up. That will definitely earn him some extra brownie points, "Amberle said. "And if that doesn't work, Potter is screwed because Lily is pissed off at him. Or should I say that Ariana girl," she said.

"Yeah, I would imagine so. How are you going to get Lily out of the common room so that this party can be set up?" Sirius inquired.

"No worries. Dorcas and I already have that all planned out. That weekend, all 7th years are allowed into Hogsmead for preparations and some such crap for the Graduation Ball," Amberle answered.

"Alright, sounds like you guys are at least ten steps ahead of all of us," Sirius grinned, but at the last moment he put on the most suave face and voice he could conjure, "Speaking of the Graduation Ball, this young man has no lass to accompany him. Would you do the honor," Sirius offered.

"Well, under normal circumstances in America, this would be the part where I would kick you in the groin, curse you with pink hair and call you an arse, but what the hell? I like you and you've proved that you are one of the few male members who are not ruled by their gentiles, "Amberle said. She grinned and sat back down at her seat with her Charms notes.

Sirius left lunch feeling like a million galleons and that there was some hope in James' love life after all.

END. And THAT my wonderful readers is chapter 15. 16 will be out A.S.A.P.

I would also like to say HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who watch the Thanksgiving Day parade, the Mayfield High School marching band is going to be in it, and they are playing La Bamba. If you happen to see them screw up on national TV, please tell me and make me a copy of that moment so that I can rub it in their face. Mayfield sucks, I hate them. Mayfield is my school's #1 rival, and they are right down the street. Last year before the big Cruces vs. Mayfield game, MHS burnt a large "M" into our practice field for the band. Well that shows that they are so dumb that they burn the band field, not the football field. Oh well. At least we beat the crap outta them at the game this year.

Sorry this one took so long to get out, I was really sick lately with a 103 fever, strep throat and an ear infection. No fun, so all I did was sit on my butt for three days at home and watch Jerry Springer because I was too sick to change the channel. Not that I wanted to anyway, Jerry Springer is funny as crap to watch. It is always so hilarious the way those people go on national TV and make complete morons out of themselves.

So anyway, see you all next time.

Happy Turkey Day

Bye bye,

Narya
