Chapter 4

Lily's first class was double charms, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. This would be one of lily's favorite classes through out the year. She had always loved charms and now that she had it with a some what decent house, it should be a lot easier to enjoy.

She decided to sit with Janice on the opposite side of the room from the marauders. She didn't want to have to talk to James until she figured out what had changed about him other then everything. During charms she caught James staring at her more then once. Lily found herself staring back at him a few times too.

"Lily?" Janice whispered to her "Lily you haven't taken any notes"

Lily looked down at her paper and realized that Janice was right. Her parchment was completely blank.

"Can I copy yours" Lily asked Janice "I don't know what's wrong with me, I just can concentrate."

"Well it might help if you tried looking at the board instead of James Potter's face, because I don't think the notes are written on his face." Janice said as she passed her notes to Lily.

"Ha-Ha very funny and I wasn't staring at him I was just zoning out." Lily stated.

"Yeah right" Janice said with a smile on her face.

After classes that day Lily and Janice decided to play a game f wizards chess in the common room. James who was sitting at a table with Remus and Sirius kept looking over at Lily.

"James? James? JAMES?" Sirius was getting very impatient, he was trying to discuses the up coming prank that he had planned out and he had to keep stopping to try and get James's attention.

"What? Did you say something?" James said coming out of his daze.

"Forget it" Sirius said "I see your to busy concentrating on something more 'important'."

"I just can't stop thinking about her man" James said with a depressed look on his face, "What is wrong with me? She will never like me the way I like her. I have tried so hard to be the man she wants and yet she always seems to find something wrong with me."

"Mate, it's not your fault. Have you seen yourself lately? Your different, and you may not agree" Sirius said seeing that James was going to disagree, "but it's the truth and if she can't see that you might want to forget about her."

"Sirius, you don't get it, this isn't just some petty crush anymore. This has changed from me liking her, to me being infatuated with her, and now I'm afraid that I James Potter has fallen in love."

"James, are you just saying it to make some excuse for chasing after her for this long?" Sirius asked.

"What? Is that what you think? No I really am in love with Lily Evans" James said a little louder then he had realized.

Sitting not to far away from the two marauders was none other the Janice, Lily Evans best friend.

The two boys didn't notice her as she ran up the stairs to the girls dormitory either, James was to caught up in thinking about Lily and Sirius to busy trying to think of a way to help out his friend.

Girls Dormitory

"Lily, Lily, LILY" Janice said while running up the stairs.

"Chill out, what's wrong?" Lily asked calmly.

"I heard James and Sirius talking" Janice said and Lily nodded "They were talking about you" Janice said dramatically.

"Ok big surprise, they do that a lot if you haven't notice. What makes this time so special?" Lily asked.

"James said that he loved you!" Janice blurted out excitedly!

"Yeah and your point is, he has said that to me before he never means it" Lily said.

"Lily he meant it I could tell" Janice said and upon hearing this Lily sat down on the bed holding her head. "Haven't you realized how much he has changed?"

"Yes, but I didn't'…I mean I didn't…I just never thought" Lily managed to stammer out.

"It's ok Lily settle down" Janice said trying to comfort her best friend. "It's ok."

"I can't ever talk to him again" Lily said tears welling up in her eyes, "I just can't."
