Author's note: Here's the next chapter. I think a lot of you have
been waiting for this chapter. I tried to make it funny. I hope it is. And
I'm really supposed to be doing homework right now but oh well. And I think
this is a new record of reviews. I got like 15 or 16 reviews for the last
chapter. I've never gotten that many for one chapter.
KrisKG: I'm glad you feel honored that you had a chapter dedicated to you. But you were the 100th review so you disserve it. Glad you thought the last chapter was sweet. That's what I was going for. And yeah, I have no idea how I'm going to have Lily and James get together yet. I have no idea who's going to ask who. We'll have to see.
The all mighty and powerful*M: Yep, cute was what I was going for. Here's the next chapter.
HPPhoenix07: Yeah, I can practically hear you screaming in your review. Here's the next chapter. I did email you for advice about this chapter but you never emailed me back so I had to write it on my own.
DOJ: Yeah, I think Anna and Chris are a cute couple. And yes, of course everyone has to gang up on Sirius. He's the comic relief of this story. It wouldn't e the same with out him.
Tanya J Potter: Yeah, I can't wait till Lily and James get together either! I have NO idea how I'm going to write that. We'll see how it turns out.
Someone or other: well, I try to post right when I get home from school so people can read it the same day. Glad you enjoyed that last chapter.
Dontletyourdreamsbedreams: yeah I'm still thinking of a way to use your name in my story. I have an idea of how but it won't be for a while. I think. And I can't believe you live in Sydney! I'm so jealous! And Yes, I too, wish that one day I will love in England. I'm glad you like that I respond to my reviewer. I love doing it. It makes me feel like I get to know everyone a little. It's fun! Glad you liked my last chapter. Here's the next one. Enjoy!
Mandyzcool: really really glad you thin the last chapter was cool. Please keep reading.
Loulou 31: Hi! New Reviewer! Anyway, glad you like all of my chapters. Here's the next one.
Greek Witch: Well, I know you've been looking forward to Cat and Sirius. This chapter had a lot about them in it! Enjoy!
Ansa12: I updated! You'll just have to keep reading to find out who gets together next. I think you might enjoy this chapter.
^Lily^: You were getting all giddy? Wow, that must mean I was doing something right. Yeah, I was going for romance in the Anna and Chris scene, because I have so little romance in my life. Actually I have none. Lily and James will have to have this whole huge romantic scene. I haven't decided how that's gong to go yet. And yes, if Cat and Sirius didn't fight then the story just wouldn't be the same.
Lizzard: Lizzy! I need to talk to you. I'll just email you later. I have marching band tonight so probably tomorrow. Anyway, yeah I think I'm getting pretty good that the whole romance thing. I have no romance in my life so I have to make it all up in these stories. Kinda sad. And well, Lily and James and Cat and Sirius are the next to couples to get together. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy. Lots of Luv, Sarah.
Mione-xavier: well I liked all the adjectives you used to describe the last chapter. They were very flattering. Hope you like this one too.
REVIEW!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!
~Denial? Yep~
"Well, aren't we all having a good week so far?" Sam commented as she, Cat, Lily, Anna, and Jo walked back to the Gryffindor tower after dinner later that night.
"It is turning out to be a pretty good week." Anna said remembering the events that took place in the library earlier that day.
"We lost her again." Cat said waving a hand in front of Anna's face to bring her back to the present time. The entire group of girls had stopped at on one of the landings of the stairs.
"It's ok. She's allowed to be lost." Jo smiled knowingly at Anna who was beginning to come back.
"Well, sorry to bust the bubble of happiness that both of you are in but not all of us happen to be madly in love and this is getting really annoying." Cat snapped at Jo and Anna.
"Well, the only one here that isn't madly in love with someone is Sam." Anna snapped back at Cat.
"Are you saying that Lily and I... well Lily is madly in love James but I am not madly in love with anyone." Cat protested and started walking up the stairs again leaving the rest of the girls to burst out laughing.
"I have on word for her." Sam said. "Denial" And they all crumbled into laughter again.
"Did you say I'm in denial?" Cat stopped and turned around to look at all they girls who were clutching their sides in pain from laughing so hard.
"I think so." Lily said straightening up. "I mean I've only been speaking English for about 17 years but yeah I definitely think that's what she said." Lily said smiling trying not to laugh.
"What in the world gave you the idea that I love Sirius?" Cat said walking back down the stairs to the landing that her friends were still standing on.
"Oh, so you do love him." Sam said smiling widely.
"Cause you just assumed we were talking about him when we never actually said his name." Anna said.
"ERRR!" Cat screamed and everyone laughed.
"What is wrong with being in love?" Lily asked.
"Nothing is wrong with it." Cat said. "It's just not my thing. It doesn't fit my personality. I am perfectly happy on my own. I don't need a guy to take care of me."
"No one ever said that we needed a guy to take care of us." Lily said.
"But what's wrong with wanting someone to love you?" Sam asked.
"And sure being single is fun but having someone special can be just as, if not more, fun." Jo said thinking about Remus.
"Plus you get certain benefits that you don't get when you're single." Anna said smiling mischievously.
"You are absolutely disgusting!" Cat shouted. Both Lily and Jo were bright red at the thought of Anna's statement. Cat turned around and started stomping back up the stairs, this time followed by her friends.
"Why do you even try to deny your feelings for Sirius?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, why do you?" Anna asked also wondering.
"You've already admitted it. It's too late to say you don't at least like him." Lily said.
"What if I changed my mind?" Cat asked them.
"You haven't." Jo said as id it was a simple question to answer.
"We've known you for 7 years. You don' change your mind very easily." Lily said agreeing with Jo.
"Anyway, we've decided you should go next." Anna said smiling widely.
"Why me?" Cat asked. "Why not Sam or Lily?"
"I already went." Sam said. "Remember? He said no."
"Oh, yeah. Sorry." Cat said.
"It's ok. I think I kind of like Anna's transfiguration partner anyway." Sam said.
"You're already like someone else?" Jo asked disbelievingly.
"Yeah, I wasn't madly in love with Dan or anything. I was a little upset at first but I got over it. It's not like I thought our relationship would last forever. I didn't think he'd hung the moon. There's no use crying over spilled perfume." Sam stated. (N/A: Oh and I got part of the dialogue from a song called "Spilled Perfume" by Pam Tillis.)
"Anyway, I think Lily should go next." Cat said getting back on the original topic.
"Why me?" Lily asked as the group of friends stopped in front of the portrait of the fat lady that covered the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
"Because you know James will say yes." Cat said.
"I'll say yes to what?" they all heard a voice call down the call. The girls turned to see James walking down the all toward the portrait hole with the rest of the marauders.
"Um, nothing!" Lily called down the call. "Eye of newt." She turned and said to the fat lady who promptly swung open. Lily rushed inside hoping James hadn't seen her face turn pink.
"Lily, that was just sad." Anna said walking over to a couch next to the fireplace and flopping down. The rest followed suit. Sam sat next to Anna and Jo sat next to Sam. Cat sat on a plush chair next to the couch. Lily said next to the armrest of the couch across from the couch that Anna, Sam, and Jo were sitting on.
"Oh, Tiger Lily!" James's voice came from the portrait whole a few minutes later. Lily looked up and saw James since her couch faced the entrance to the common room.
"Yes?" Lily asked politely.
"What would I had said yes to?" James asked sitting down dangerously close to Lily on the couch. Lily noticed that they were almost touching. Sirius and Peter sat down next to James on the couch. Remus sat down next to Jo, making her blush.
"Nothing. It was nothing." Lily smiled.
"Well, I could just ask Cat. I'm sure she would gladly tell me." James said looking over to Cat who was about to open her mouth to answer James.
"Actually, Cat said that you would probably say yes if I asked you... to help me with transfiguration." Lily came up with right no the spot.
"I'm sure." James said. He could tell Lily was lying but he'd eventually find out anyway so it didn't really matter.
"Anyway, I need to ask you something real quick." Lily said suddenly getting an idea. She stood up. "Come on." She indicated for James to follow her. "Can we talk somewhere? Private?"
"Um, yeah. Is my dorm fine?" James asked.
"Yeah, this should be really quick." Lily said and started walking quickly over to the boy's staircase and up to the dorm with James following close behind. James had no idea what Lily was doing but being in a room with Lily all by themselves is never a bad thing. Well, not anymore. Now that Lily didn't hate him.
"You know that can put a lot of thoughts into someone's head." Sirius said watching Lily and James go up the stairs to the boy's dormitory.
"What can?" Jo asked.
"How naïve are you?" Anna asked.
"Them going up to a dorm all by themselves." Sirius said answering Jo's question.
"It can't really put thoughts into your head." Cat said contradicting what Sirius said. "I mean its Lily. She'd never do anything inappropriate."
"Are you trying to find reasons to fight with me?" Sirius asked kind of hurt but not showing it.
"I don't purposely try to find reasons to fight with people." Cat shot at him angry with herself for having feelings for him.
~Boy's Dormitory~
"So..." James asked closing the door behind him. "You wanted to talk to me."
"Yeah." Lily said sitting down on the cleanest bed in the room. There were clothes, quidditch magazines, food, and other unidentifiably objects scattered all over the floor and across the beds, which none of were made. 'You'd think that the castle didn't have house elves. They must really try to make this place dirty.' Lily thought.
"And that would be?" James asked watching look take in the room. He was suddenly very embarrassed that this was his room. Not to mention that she was sitting on Remus' bed. It was understandable though. It was the cleanest bed in the dorm room.
"Cat and Sirius." Lily said.
"What about them?" James asked as he walked over to Remus' bed and stood in front of Lily who was looking up at him.
"Does Sirius have feelings for Cat?" Lily asked. "Because she certainly has feelings for him. And Sirius has had his share of girlfriends and I don't want at to get hurt if she asks him out and he says no. Or he says yes and then breaks up with her after a few weeks because he likes some blonde in Hufflepuff." Lily said in one breath extremely fast. (N/A: No offense to blondes. I am currently partially blonde. I used to be fully blonde. It's just the when you think of some hot girl that a guy would like you think of someone blonde.)
"Well, he does like her." James said. "He just doesn't show it very well. Not that she shows her feelings very well either."
"I think that she's having a hard time with the fact that she let herself actually fall for someone." Lily said standing up.
"Denial?" James asked.
"Yep." Lily answered.
"Is this all you had to talk to me about?" James asked.
"Well, that and we need to get them in some place together. So they can sort out all of their problems and hopefully one of them with ask the other out." Lily said hopefully.
"Mmmm." James thought rubbing his chin, which looked very cute in Lily's opinion. "Alone together."
"Yeah." Lily said. "You know about every part of the castle so I figured you'd know a good place."
"Well, I can think of a couple places." James said. "There are a few unused classrooms on the 5th floor. A simple "Alohamora" unlocks the doors, and then there's the room of requirement, I don't know about that though. You never know who knows about that room and anyone could show up there. Then there are a broom closets located throughout the entire school. Some of which are very small and some very dirty. Those are good if you want them in a dark close space. I know some students use them for reasons other than talking."
"Wow." Lily said impressed. "Ok so a no on the room of requirements. And I say a no on the broom closets because that's just evil and improper and we have to keep in mind that we are head students and people are not supposed to be the closets." Lily ticked these off on her fingers.
"And are all the class rooms dusty and dirty?" Lily asked.
"Well, most are but on that we used to hang out in a lot is pretty clean." James said. "We had to clean in before we started hanging out there." The marauders used to classrooms to learn to become animigus.
"OK, so tomorrow right after classes end." Lily said. "You get Sirius there and I'll get Cat there." Lily said.
"How do you propose I do that?" James asked.
"Use your imagination." Lily said.
"Great." James groaned as Lily walked over to the door and walked out of the dorm room closing the door behind her.

"Well, aren't we all having a good week so far?" Sam commented as she, Cat, Lily, Anna, and Jo walked back to the Gryffindor tower after dinner later that night.
