A/N Thnx 4 the reviews ppl, this is the most 4 a chapter yet, hopefully it'll keep increasing per chapter.

Also, I just wanted to let you all know about my other story I have on this site. It's called Two Worlds Clashed and I actually prefer it to this one, i think its better, u shud check it out.

When Lily actually made it to bed it was more like two and a half hours since her and Sydney had parted because one of the new students had fallen through a trick step and sprained her ankle so she had had to be taken to Madame Pomfrey in the hospital wing.

The small girl had cried all the way and insisted that Lily wait with her until she was healed so by the time she got into her dorm Lily was not only tired but she had a headache, looking at her watch which read 12:30 she wasn't surprised she was tired, especially since she hadn't had much sleep the night before.

She froze in the doorway of her dorm though when she noticed a note on her pillow. She glanced around the beds to check everyone else was asleep before moving silently to her bed and picking up the letter, reading it with a smile.

You looked very sexy at the sorting tonight!

Ok, this is it!

Lily entered the Great Hall the following morning with a mission in mind...she had to work out who her mystery man was.

She scanned the room as she walked towards the Gryfindor table.

She assumed it was a fair enough idea to be able to dismiss the Slytherins because, basically, even if she didn't know who he was, he knew who she was and a Slytherin would never go any where near a Gryfindor.

The Ravenclaws were a possibility, quite a big one. He always had a spark of intelligence about him which could very possibly a Ravenclaw characteristic, it was this same spark that made her elliminate the Hufflepuffs because, as much as it made her feel bad for admitting it, they weren't renound for their ability to hold an intelligent conversation.

The only other possibility was, of course, a Gryfindor, which Lily considered a great probability seeing as at their first meeting he saved her from an attacked, therefore showing bravery. Very Gryfindorish.

Lily was smiling as she took her seat next to Remus Lupin who she found much more tolerable that both James and Sirius who, to Lily's relief, were both absent.

'What's which the Cheshire Cat grin?' he enquired.

His words snapped her out of the trance she was in thinking about her mystery man and she shook her head slightly as though shaking herself back to reality. 'Oh nothing,' she replied, 'Where's Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber?' she tried to change the subject before more questions were asked.

Remus smiled at the names she had given his two friends. He knew exactly how Lily felt about James. 'You should give him a break you know, Lil,' Remus said, knowing he was wasting his breath, 'he actually really likes you.'

Lily rolled her eyes in reply, of course she knew, he had done nothing but ask her out for the last five years. 'He's just so arrogant, though.'

Remus nodded in agreement, he couldn't argue that. James was one of his best mates and as much as he loved him, not even Remus could deny that he was the most arrogant human being on the planet.

After they had finished their breakfast (during which the other two boys didn't turn up for, which Lily was relieved about) the two of them headed to their next class, Charms.

Brilliant, thought Lily, it was a Gryfindor/Ravenclaw mixed class which should give her a good chance to try and work out who he was.

The only other question that was bugging Lily more than "who is he?" was "why won't he tell me?" and no matter how many different reasons she went over in her head, none of them seemed to be plausible.

They were reviewing cheering charms which, luckily for her, Lily had completely mastered weeks ago, so she didn't have to spend much time perfecting her technique, which meant she could analyze the boys in the class.

She scanned the room until her eyes rested on the Marauders, it was possible. Well not James of course, there was no way that it could be him or the man would be annoying her more.

Peter was too short, her stranger was at least four inches taller than Peter so he was quickly dismissed (to Lily's relief).

That left Sirius and Remus...

Now, it was true that Sirius Black annoyed Lily to the extent he made her grind her teeth but she, admittedly, didn't find him quite as bad as James. And it was very possible that he could have a nicer side. There was still some doubt in her mind about him though because she had seen him around girls and, to put it bluntly, Sirius was a lad-slut. He was all over anything in a skirt that would come within six feet of him and he definately wasn't the commitment type, not that commitment was really a factor in her relationship with mystery man at the moment. Actually to be totally fair, they didn't really have a relationship, just passion. But anyway, Lily once again shook her head back to focus, there was something about Sirius that made her think that it wasn't him, even though she wasn't exactly sure what it was. She wasn't going to totally dismiss him though, she decided.

Now Remus...it was very possibly him. He had always been nice to her, even when his friends hadn't been, and she didn't find him to be irritating and he did have the same body-build. Lily was surprised to discover that she liked the idea of it being him. She had never considered him in any other context than friendship but now she had thought about him in the other way she decided it wasn't too horrible. After all, he was cute and very sweet as well as being clever. There was just one thing that was bugging her about it being him and that was what reason did he have to lie?

Lily then considered a Ravenclaw boy who was sat in the corner of the room, reading his Charms book intently. He was called Chris Letterman and although he was very sly and quiet, him and Lily had always been pleasant to each other, saying hello when passing in the hallways and making small talk before the prefects meeting. She actually thought that he had tried to ask her out once the previous year but he had gotton too nervous and changed the subject quickly.

Also, his supreme shyness could be the reason he was hiding his identity, because it is often easier to act without shame and embarrassment when you didn't have to be yourself.

She really liked Chris but wasn't sure that she really wanted it to be him. When he had panicked during asking her out she had been quite relieved because she really hadn't wanted to hurt his feelings, even though she liked him, she didn't in 'that way'.

She didn't recieve another note from him for another week. She arrived at her dorm room during the lunch break because she had left her charms book which she needed for her afternoon class and there it was on her pillow.

A smile immediately broke out over her face and she cleared the distance from the door to her bed in just two steps, snatching up the letter and flopping down on her bed.

I have to see you, meet me in the room of requirement tonight at eleven.

She smiled as she read it. Tonight. This would be the first time she saw him since they came back to Hogwarts. She glanced at her watch, which read 1pm. Just 10 hours and she would she him again. She quickly folded up the piece of paper and slipped it into her back pocket, grabbed her charms book and headed down to the Great Hall.

As she walked a new question came to her mind. How did he get the note into the girl's dormitory? Lily knew for a fact that boys weren't able to walk up the girl's staircase without it turning into a slide. It happened at least once a week that one of the lads (usually a Marauder) attempted to get up and they always failed, causing several students to end up with bumps and bruises where they had fallen with a thud as the stairs vanished.

Her mind thought over many possibilities but none of them seemed to be very plausible.

Never mind, Lily thought, it's not important. She would see him tonight and from the moment that she had spotted the note on her bed, her stomach had started to turn and it had yet to stop.

That feel was still there when she was heading to the Room of Requirement at 10:55 that evening. If anything it had intensified.

She paused outside the door with her hand on the handle. After taking a deep breath she turned the knob and entered the room.
