A/N: So sorry for the long wait! Just so much has been going on with starting 10th grade which in my area is the first year of high school. It only took me one day to write this so that might make you angry but it means good things. It means I got ideas in my head again and that I'm back in the groove of writing. Well here it is.
Chapter 16
---January 31---
Lily woke up around 9 and grumbled as she slipped on a sweater and sweatpants. She ran a brush through her mangled hair then made her way to the common room. She spotted Sirius coming downstairs so she met him halfway.
"James still up there?" Lily asked a bit groggily.
Sirius twitched, "You're not much of a sight in the morning you know that?"
Lily scowled and pushed passed him. "Lily Bob you know I'm just messing with you! I think you're the most beautiful girl I know after Andi." Sirius called to her.
Lily didn't answer and instead made her way to the Sixth Year's room. "James?" Lily questioned softly as she pushed the door open a crack .
No one answered so she softly let herself in hoping Peter would be dressed this time. She looked around and found that no one was in there but James's curtains were pulled shut. She crept over and slipped behind the curtain to find a sleeping James.
She sat down on the side of his bed and bent down to whisper in his ear. "Wake up."
James didn't wake up but instead rolled closer to her and smiled. Lily couldn't help but giggle. "James get up, please." Lily said louder.
James eyes slowly opened and he sat up and looked up at her and crinkled his face. "Do I look that bad this morning? Sirius said I wasn't much of sight and now you give me that face." Lily said annoyed.
James gave a laugh and pulled her into a hug. "You're beautiful, you're always beautiful. Just thought it was kind of early."
Lily smiled. "It's just dreary out so it looks earlier then it is."
James nodded and slid out of bed and into the bathroom. Lily opened his bedside table drawer and pulled a framed picture out. It was a black and white picture of three boys and one girl. The young boy with the glasses in the picture was unmistakable James. Right next to him with his arm around James's neck was none other than Sirius. The other boy and girl Lily didn't recognize.
When James returned from the bathroom Lily handed him the framed picture. "Who are those two?" Lily said pointing to the girl and boy.
James smiled slightly. "That's my older sister Khara, she's twenty-two. And that's my younger brother Jack, he's eight now."
"You never told me about them." Lily said still looking at the picture. "They really look like you."
"Yeah people always said we looked alike. I thought you knew about them I guess." James said. "I know about your sister, Petunia."
Lily crinkled her face and looked at him confused. "How do you know about her?"
James laughed like it was obvious. "Lily I liked you since our third year, I know more about you then you would want anyone to know."
Lily smirked. "That's a scary thought."
James smiled back. "I know." James said putting the picture on top of his bedside table next to a picture of him and Lily at the ball. "Want some breakfast?"
Lily 's growling stomach answered his question. They made their way to the Great Hall and Lily sat down leaving a space for James to squeeze between her and Sirius.
"Do I smell or something?" Sirius asked Lily.
"No but you are rude." Lily said trying to keep an angry face.
Sirius smirked. "You're just fishing for a compliment but I ain't giving you one because I know my comment won James a kiss or something like it. So if anything I should be getting a thanks from James."
"Thank you." James said with a sideways smile.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Where's Andi?"
"I think she ate already, I don't know where she is now." Sirius said with a shrug.
"Since when is anything about Andi handled so lightly I thought you guys liked each other again?" Lily asked.
Sirius sighed. "I'm not supposed to act like I like her we're supposed to start as friends, duh."
Lily just nodded not knowing if she should laugh or give his shoulder a squeeze. She was about to say something to end the silence but the post came instead. Everyone watched as a couple dozen owl's flew in to the Great Hall. Lily, James, and Sirius were all surprised when a barn owl stuck it's leg out in front of Lily.
"Whose it from?" James asked.
Lily furrowed her brow. "I don't recognize the handwriting."
She read over the short note. "That's weird."
"What is it?" James asked a little worried.
"It's from Tray he wants me to meet him in the Astronomy Tower once I get this." She said handing him the note.
James skimmed the note and tried to keep a normal look on his face. "Why did he send you mail by a school owl?"
Lily shrugged. "I was wondering the same thing. I guess I should go then. I promise it won't be all day I'll find you afterwards. Where are you going to be?"
"Either on the grounds or in the common room or with the guys." James said.
"Alright see you later." Lily said planting a quick kiss on his cheek and hurrying out of the Great Hall.
"Bye." James mumbled.
"You alright Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"I'm fine." James said with a slight smile.
-------
Lily made her way to the Astronomy Tower as fast as she could hoping that this would go quick. Lily finally arrived and when she entered she found Tray staring out the window.
"Hey." Lily said brightly.
Tray turned around and offered a kind smile. "Hey Lily."
"Anything interesting going on." Lily said walking up next to him to look out the window.
"Nothing too special." Tray said wringing his hands.
"Everything alright?" Lily asked concerned.
"Yes, well no, I mean I will be." Tray stuttered.
Lily sat down on the sill and pat the spot next to her and he sat down next to her. "There's no rush just tell me what's up." Lily said.
"Well I like you Lily, I like you a lot. The old me would still go after you even though I know you and James are really happy together but I've changed some and I know that would only make you hate me more. So I just had to tell you for my sake and I don't want you to think you have to hang out with me but I would like us to be friends." Tray said with a sigh of relief.
Lily gave him a short hug. "That was pretty mature of you. James and I are very happy together. But I would like it too if we were friends." Lily said with a smile.
Tray smiled "It felt good telling you. You can go find James now."
"Are you sure we can hang out if you want." Lily said
"And have James worried no way." Tray said. "I'll see around Lily."
"Alright, bye Tray." Lily said giving him another hug.
Lily headed to the common room. When she got there she saw Remus at a table. "Hey Remus did James come back?"
Remus looked up from his homework and gave a weak smile. "Yeah he's up in the room."
"You alright?" Lily asked putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine I just want to get this homework done so I can spend the rest of the weekend with Remi." Remus explained.
Lily smiled. "Good luck then."
"Thanks." Remus said.
Lily gave him a wink then headed up the boy's staircase and into the Sixth Year's room. She didn't bother to knock.
"James?" Lily called out as she entered the room.
The door clicked shut and Lily screamed as someone grabbed her from behind. The person clamped their hand over her mouth and spun her around in their arms.
Lily stopped trying to scream when she met James's eyes. He let go of her mouth and smirked at her. "Don't ever do that again James Potter you scared me half to death! I've been attacked before you know." Lily sputtered.
James face dropped. "I'm sorry Lily I didn't mean to remind you of that. I wasn't thinking straight." James said ruffling his hair. "Can you forgive me?:
Lily sighed. "Of course just think before you act next time."
James nodded. "That was pretty quick don't you thing?"
"Yeah he just wanted to tell me something and that was it." Lily said shrugging.
James wanted to dig deeper but he knew that would make him seem jealous so he let it go. "So you're all mine today?"
Lily smirked. "I'm all yours."
-----
"Adams." Jenna called coldly down the corridor.
Andi turned around to see a scantily clad girl walking toward her. "Yes?"
"Listen Barbie, stay away from Sirius he doesn't want your type. He wants a girl who can keep him entertained and you definitely don't do that for him." Jenna said smugly.
"Look Jenna, I know you act like you don't have a hint of caring in you but just listen to me. Me and Sirius had a little rough patch and we're finally getting along again and sometime in the near future we plan to get back together. So for your sake and mine just go for someone else." Andi said calmly.
"So you think that I'm just going to walk away and give up?" Jenna asked incredulously.
Andi nodded her head. "Yeah I do. In fact I think you will find yourself interested in Zack Kurts."
Jenna's stern face softened. "He doesn't have a girlfriend?" Andi shook his head. "Then what am I wasting my time on Sirius for? Jenna said with a giggle and Andi just shrugged.
Jenna gave Andi a hug surprising the both of them. "Sorry just got excited, don't get any ideas about us being friends or anything." Jenna said backing up a bit.
"I'd never expect that." Andi said plainly.
With that Jenna turned on her heel and took off down the hallway. Andi continued on her way down the hallway headed towards the common room. Remi met up with her on the way.
"Seen Remus?" Remi asked.
"Seen Sirius?" Andi asked.
"You lose, I asked first." Remi said with a smirk.
"No I haven't now answer me." Andi said.
"No I haven't." Remi mocked.
"Maybe they're together somewhere." Andi offered.
"It's a possibility." Remi said.
Once they got to the common room Remi spotted Remus who was heading down the stairs.
Before Remi could start baby talking him Andi got to him first. "Remus have you seen Sirius?"
"Yeah I thinkā¦" Was all Remus got out before Remi planted her lips on his.
They didn't stop with one kiss either and Andi looked at them almost disgusted. "Remi can you get your tongue out of his mouth just long enough so he can tell me where Sirius is?"
Remi pulled back and smirked. "Fine, and my tongue wasn't in his mouth."
"Yeah well close enough. So where is he?" Andi asked.
"Quidditch field." Remus said shortly.
"Thanks." Andi said heading for the door.
When she got to the field she found Sirius flying around on his broom. "Sirius!" Andi called.
Sirius spotted her immediately and dove straight at her causing her to scream. Sirius laughed as he dismounted his broom right next to her.
"Hello!" Sirius said cheerily.
"Someone's in a good mood." Andi said grinning.
"Have no reason to be in a bad mood now do I?" Sirius said walking toward the team room.
"Well I guess not." Andi said as she waited for Sirius to put his broom back.
When Sirius returned he put his arm around her shoulder and gave her squeeze. "So what do you want to do?"
"Anything is fine as long as I'm with you." Andi said blushing.
Sirius laughed. "You're too cute."
Andi gasped and stopped dead in her tracks. Sirius turned around and put his hand on her arm. "What? What's wrong?"
"Hah, got you!" Andi said running off onto the pitch.
Sirius paused for just moment before he ran out after her. "Get back here Andi Adams!" Sirius called.
Andi giggled as he started to get closer. "You'll never catch me!"
"Oh yeah?" Sirius called pouncing on her and knocking her right of her feet.
The two laid clutching their sides from laughing so much. "You're pretty fast for a girl." Sirius said with a smirk as he turned to look at her.
Andi smiled brightly. "You're pretty slow for a boy."
Sirius smirk fell from his face. "Hey now that was mean."
Andi laughed. "The truth hurts."
"It's snowing!" Sirius said jumping up.
Andi slowly got up and looked straight up. "It is isn't?"
Sirius smiled and looked over at her. "It is."
------
The three girls laid in their individual beds tired and worn out from the day.
"Guess what?" Lily asked.
"What?" Remi asked groggily.
"Tray likes me." Lily said lazily.
Andi sat up and looked over at her. "Well of course he does, you're beautiful."
Lily smiled. "Thanks Andi. Should I tell James or will that just cause trouble?"
"He doesn't need to know." Remi said with a shrug. "It's not like it matters anyway since you don't like Tray."
"True." Lily said. "Hey Andi guess who I saw together today."
"Who?" Andi asked interested.
"Jenna Lane and Zack Kurts. Well actually Jenna was just headed towards him but I'm guessing that means she's over Sirius." Lily said with a smile.
Andi smirked. "I talked to her today and told her that she should go after him."
"Now how is that going to work? Zack likes to go for unsuspecting virgins and I don't think Jenna fits that category." Lily said raising an eyebrow.
"It probably won't work, but Jenna doesn't like to give up and if Zack is desperate enough he'll take her and if not it will keep her out of mine and Sirius's hair anyways. I think Zack gave up on me anyway, which is perfectly fine with me." Andi said laying her head back down.
"That's good." Lily said through a yawn. "Goodnight Andi. Goodnight Remi."
Neither answered so Lily just shrugged and closed her eyes.
