Lily woke up. She stretched her arms and looked around. She felt something on her arm. She looked down. James' head was on her hand. It was then that she reliezed that he must have stayed with her all night. She gently shook him awake. Before she used to be repulsed when she had to touch him. She wasn't feelign that anymore. She was confused. She was supposed to hate James. Why was she feeling this?

"Huh huh whats happening? I swear Professour it wasn't be." Said James groggily

Lily laughed. She quickly stopped herself. She never had laughed at James unless she was taunting him. He looked at her and quickly sat up while smoothing his rumpled robes.

"Lily! Your awake, are you feeling ok?"asked James

"I'm fine J—Potter. You can leave now."

James stood up and stretched and walked out sulkily. He headed to the Gryffindor Tower.

The day dragged on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on.... and on... It was going by so sluggishly that Tera didn't realize that, until a few minutes later, she'd been reading the same line in her textbook over and over again. It was going by so sluggishly that Tera didn't realize that, until a few minutes later, she'd been reading the same line in her textbook over and over again. (haha) In the back of her mind the whole day she worried about Lily. A constant shadow stretched over her mind and wouldn't go away until she had seen her friend again. Finally, while doing a complicated potion, the bell rang and the class was free to go. Tera sprinted out of class before anyone else so that she could avoid Lucious Malfoy. He was starting to give her the creeps- no wait. He started giving her the creeps a short while after she met him.

Kal walked up to Sirius and tryed to talk to him. But when she tried he just pushed her away. She kept trying.

"Black....please where is Lily?"

"Why do you care? It's not as if you're still friends." Spat Sirius

"Black even if we're not friends I still care!"

"Well you made it clear how much you cared 2 days ago!" yelled Sirius

"It's not my fault what Lily did!"yelled Kal back

"Just forget it Constell." Yelled Sirius. He stormed out.

Kal just sank to the floor and cried. Luckily nobody was in the Common Room. Lexi walked down from the Girls Dorm and looked at Kal.

"I heard you Kal! Why? Why do you want to be friends with her?" yelled Lexi, "Look who she hangs out with! Look what she did!"

"It doesn't make her any different!" cried Kal

Kal ran out. She had just lost her best friends in less than 2 days. She didn't want to lose Lily. She ran into the Great Hall and searched for Tera's face. She found her and began to push her way through the crowd.

Tera turned around and found herself face-to-face with Kal. Tera smiled because Kal had never really minded her... Then she noticed the look on Kal's face.

"Lily was in the Hospital Wing last time I saw her although I don't know if she's still in there," Tera said. By the look on Kal's face she could tell that she wanted to know where Lily was. Maybe she wanted to know more but... she wasn't all-together sure.

"THANK YOU SOOO MUCH TERA!" yelled Kal as she raced out of the Great Hall

Kal raced out and straight down the hall. She got to the Hospital Wing in 2 minutes flat. She muttered to herself: Why did I run? It's not as if Lily is going anywhere. She walked in and searched the room. She saw a Lily sitting up in bed reading a book. She hadn't noticed Kal yet. Kal breathed in and then out. She walked in and said

"Hi Lily."

"Oh Kalistra hi." Said Lily coolly

"Lily I wanted to apologise. I overreacted. I'm sorry."

"Kal! You know that I would not ever turn you away right!?" said Lily with a smile

Kal walked up to Lily and gave her a hug. Lily laughed and hugged her back.

"Oh and Lily NEVER call me Kalistra again!"

Lily laughed and hugged her again. Kal left Lily and walked down to hallway when someone grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the shadows.

Talee, a third year muggle-born Gryffindor female, saw Tera and fell in love with the sight of her. Tera, after that second, became her idol. Of course she still didn't know her idol's name yet or, actually, anything at all. Being an outright girl Talee went up to Tera and asked,

"What's your name?" Tera whirled around to find the third year at her chest level so looked down when she responded.

"I'm Tera, what about you?"

"Talee, I'm in my third year and I'm a Gryffindor."

"Gryffindor is an awesome house."

"I know, I live in it," Talee smiled remembering all the good times she'd already had there. "Wanna be friends?" she held out her hand. Smiling, Tera shook it.

"Have you seen a person named 'Sirius Black' around?" Tera asked, wondering where her, yes she was bold enough to say it, boyfriend was. Talee's eye's widened.

"The Sirius Black? Nope not after gawkin at him at breakfast and lunch!"

Lily was allowed to get out of the Hospital Wing that afternoon. She walked out happily. She walked up to Prof. Dumbledore's office for he had said he wanted to meet her. She was walking there when she met James. He seemed really happy to see her. As much as she didn't want to admit it even in her mind she wasn't exactly annoyed to see him.

"Lilykins! You're out!"

"Yes Potter, now if you'll excuse me I have to go to the Headmaster's office."

"Isn't that a coincidink! I have to too!" said James using the word coincidink.

Lily shook her head with a smile. Then she remembered. She was supposed to hate him. As much as she hated it....her feelings were changing. The two walked up to the gargoyle. James whipped out a parchent whispered something and he said

"Gum Ball"

The gargoyle sprang aside. Lily stepped on the stairs with James right behind her. They arrived in the office where Prof. Dumbledore met them.

"Ah Ms.Evans and Mr.Potter I want to ask you what you are doing about a ball this year?"

"We were thinking of a masquearade ball." Said Lily shooting James a glance that said play along or else

"Yeah Prof. We were." Said James earnestly almost surprising Lily

"Ok Ms.Evans and Mr.Potter you can go now." Said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eyes.

Tera laughed a little at Talee's response. How long would it take for Professor Dumbledore to speak to McGonagal? Hopefully not too long... she was tired of being Slytherin. But speaking of Slytherin... she was a decendant of him.

"Tera?"

"Hm?"

"I gotsta go now! Nice meetin' you!" then Talee ran off. Tera decided to head for the Hospital Wing to check if Lily was still in there. However, her question was answered before she reached it

"Hey Lily!" Tera said, waving.

Kal twirled around and her eyes fell on Dorrien Meadows. A guy from Ravenclaw who had a crush on her since 2nd year. She didn't want to go out with him though cause she had her eye on someone else.

"Kalistra will you please please go out with me?" he begged

Kal rolled her eyes. She hated being called Kalistra.

"No Meadows I will NOT. Can't you get that through your thick skull?" said Kal coldly

She turned to walk away when she felt an arm pulling her.

"You WILL go out with me!" he yelled

"Let go of me." Said Kal ice dripping from every word

She whipped out her wand but Dorrien had already yelled "Expelliarmus"

"That's low even for you." Hissed Kal.

Dorrien grinned at her with a maniacal look in his eyes. His lips smashed against hers but Kal was powerless as he had already pinned her arms behind her back. She finally broke away and yelled "He—."

"Oh we can't have that." Said Dorrien "Silencio"

Dorrien whispered another word and ropes sprang up and tied themselves aroudn Kal. Her face was not covered so he could fully see her glare. He resumed what he was doing when someone yelled "STUPEFY!"

Talee skipped down the halls towards the Gryffindor common room so that she could do her homework. Tera was sooo cool and sooo awesome! But she'd forgotten to ask if she was in Gryffindor... how sucky.

"La dee da di daw daw!" she sang, "Tera is my newfound fwend!" she liked using W's when she spoke or taking off a letter at the beggining or end of a word. "Humm di did lee duh duh... duh doo doo doo dooo do doo do do dooo do dooooooooO!" then an icecold hand covered her mouth. Without thinking she licked then bit the hand and swirled around with her wand out.

"Hey Tal that hurt!" Shouted her best friend Dalyce. Sheepishly Talee grinned and lowered her wand.

"Sorry..."

"Nah, it's ok," Dalyce said with a grin on her face. They linked arms and headed towards the common room skipping and singing loudly where Talee had left off. Then the two of them stopped as they heard someone shout,

"Stupefy!" Curiosity led them closer to the voice while keeping in the shadows incase they weren't supposed to be there.

Dorrien fell down unconsciuos. Kal looked shock. The ropes had not affected her hearing. She tryed to turn but instead fell backwards due to the ropes. She fell into Remus' arms. He quickly untied her and said

"Kal? What happened?"

She tried to talk but when she opened her mouth no sound came out. Remus muttered something under his breath and Kal immediately found her voice.

"Remus! Thank you so much! I don't know what would have happened...." her voice trailed off. She had tears in her eyes but she didn't let them fall. Remus just held her while stroking her hair but after a minute they became conscious of what they were doing. They broke apart and Remus cleared his throat. Kal blushed and quickly gave Remus a peck on the cheek.

"Uh Kal want an...an escort to the Hall?"

Kal nodded and they set off toward the hall.

Talee frowned at the fact that a Gryffindor had nearly been... she didn't complete the thought. However, Dalyce sighed as she saw Remus and the girl walk away. Actually, they were heading their way. Poking her friend they hurridly looked casual and walked to the common room. Dalyce sighed again, somewhere between contentment and longing. Talee giggled and punched her friend in the shoulder.

"Don't worry Dal, you'll find a Remus of your own some day!" she winked then ran away from her friend who would surely follow and beat the living daylights out of her. And she was right.
