Anything but Ordinary

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot...

Hey Everyone! Sorry about the wait for this chapter. I've been really busy lately and reading some really good fanfics. I'm so evil about the last cliffie. Well, thanks to all you who reviewed and on with the story!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Lily P.O.V)

I can't believe what has just happened. I actually cheated on James and on top of it, I got caught. I would have told James, but it's too late. I miss James already. It's already been a day since the incident, and I feel like shit. I feel like a knife is stuck in my heart. I can just imagine how James must feel. And Sirius. He must really miss his best friend. I'm in the common room in front of my fire right now, but I still feel so cold. I have to do something about this right now. I have to go talk to Sirius.

"Hey Sirius. How you holding up?" I asked. Sirius was in the library trying to right his potions essay.

He looked up from his essay and he looked terrible. He had purple bags under his eyes and was a bit pale.

"Not too good. Sit down Lily." he said. I pulled out the chair across from him and sat down. I gave him a weak smile and he gave me one too.

"Did you try talking to James yet?" Sirius asked.

"No, I can't find him anywhere. How about you?''

" Yes and no. I started and he went off on me. I'd avoid him if I were you until he cools down. Unfortunatly, I can't. Try sharing a dorm with your best - I mean. ex-best friend."

"Where has he been lately? I went to go talk to him a couple of times after classes, but he just ignored me."

"He's been on the Qudditch pitch. He even stayed there when the Slytherins were practicing."

"Woa...he must be really depressed."

"Well, wouldn't you be?"

"Yeah...I'm gonna go find James." I said. As I was getting up, Sirus looked at me and said, "Hey Lily?"

I turned around and said, "Yeah?"

"If James doesn't listen or anything, I'll always be here for you."

I smiled at Sirius and walked back. I gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks," and went to go find James.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(James P.O.V)

Why would she do this to me? I mean, I was there for her since forever and what do I get in return? Lily cheating on me with my best friend.

Maybe she wasn't cheating? What if she was telling the truth?

Yeah right. She was in his arms for Christ's sake.

You didn't even let them tell their side of the story.

So what. I saw what I saw and that's final.

"James?" said a familar voice rom behind me. I turned around and it was Lily.

"What do you want?" I snarled.

"I want to talk." she said.

"About what? Oh wait...I remember. You two-timing me with my best friend."

"James...let me explain."

"No, you don't need to explain. I saw what I saw. If you liked Sirius all along, why didn't you just say something? Was that too much to ask?"

"James listen to me!" Lily yelled. I looked up into her eyes and noticed there was hurt and pain written all over her face. She was also crying.

"Fine." I huffed.

"Okay...You have it all wrong. After class, Malfoy cornered me in the corridor. I was already late for class and probably no one would be around. He told me that I didn't learn my lesson from Snape and that he was going to teach it to me again. He pushed me up against the wall and..." she stopped. She was now trying to keep all her tears inside. "and started getting closer and closer to my face. All of a sudden Sirius appears out of nowhere and hexes Malfoy."

"He saved me, James. I was so happy to see him so I ran up and hugged him. I kissed him."

Right then, I felt the blood boil up inside.

"I know...'' I said.

"It wasn't a I-love-you-so-take-me kiss, James. It was like a friendly kiss. It didn't mean anything, Jame. I swear. I would never do something like that to you. I love you."

I looked at Lily and studied her expression. I knew she wasn't lying. I smiled at her and embraced her in hug.

"I'm sorry I got so angry at you, Lily."

"It's okay. By the way, how did you find me and Sirius?"

"Sirius rose his hand and asked if he could go see Pomfrey for a headache of something and he left, so I later rose my hand and asked if I could use the loo. As soon as I got out, I followed Sirius by using the Marauders Map. After I found him, I would ask him to go to the kitchens with me. When I looked at the map, I saw Malfoy, you and Sirius. That's how I 'discovered' you."

Lily mouthed an 'O' and started to get up.

"We better get inside. It looks as if it's gonna rain." said Lily.

"Okay, maybe I should apoligise to Sirius also."

I got up, grabbed Lily's hand and we both walked up towards the castle. What an evening.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning was Saturday. It was the day of the trip to Hogsmede. (Sorry, but I switched the date. Not Thursday, Saturday.)

"Hey Lily? Are you still up for going to Hogsmede with me?" asked James, as he sat down for breakfast.

"Sorry James, but I'm loaded with homework. Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Ancient Ruins, everything. Hey! Bring me back some Fizzing Whizzbees, would ya?" asked Lily.

"Sure. That's okay. You coming guys?" asked James.

"You bet!" squeaked Peter.

"Of course!" declared Remus.

"No can do, Prongs. I'm loaded with homework, too. When did you finish all yours?" said Sirius.

"Mmmm...Yesterday. Okay. Just me, Peter, and Remus today. Don't worry, bud, I'll bring you some chocolate frogs back for you." stated James.

"All attending Hogsmede, please follow me." declared Professor Sprout.

"Well, that's us. By Sirius, Lily." said James. He got up, kissed Lily, and headed toward the entrance hall with Peter and Remus.

"Well Lily, I guess it's just me and you today." stated Sirius.

"Thanks for telling me, Mr. Obvious. So what are we gonna do after our homework. I actually don't have much. I just didn't want to go today." said Lily.

"You know what's weird?" started Sirius, shaking a piece of bacon at Lily, "I lied too. I just didn't want to go as well."

"Great minds think alike. Hey, let's go by down the lake or on the Qudditch pitch!" yelled Lily as she was getting up from the table.

"Sound good to me. Since when did you like Quidditch, my fair Lily?" asked Sirius walking besides Lily.

"I don't. I'm actually quite afraid of heights."

"Don't worry, I'll protect you, Lily." said Sirius.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All day, Me and Sirius were together. We played Quidditch, went on a walk, and basically enjoyed each other's company. We were sitting near the lake, looking out on the water when Sirius spoke up.

"Hey Lily."

"Yeah Sirius?"

"I had a really fun day today." said Sirius. He flashed me an award winning smile that made my knees go weak. Why is this happening? I don't like Sirius!

"Me too, Sirius. Thanks for spending the day with me. I really liked having you around."

I looked at Sirius and he looked as if he was hiding something from me. He had his long, black hair covering his striking blue eyes. How I love those eyes. What! I don't like Sirius! I have a boyfriend!

"Sirius. You're hiding something from me."

"No I'm not!" He declared.

"Spill!" I told him and pushed him playfully.

"Umm...Lily? I really like you."

"I like you, too. So what are you hiding?"

"No...I fancy you, Lily. Your probably the only girl I actually liked at Hogwarts."

I was so shocked. Sirius Black fancies me? No, can't be. He has to be joking.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, Lily. I really fancy you. If James ever dumps you, I'll be waiting." said Sirius as he got up and walked back towards to castle. I was left there sitting on the ground.

I should just brush it off and go to bed, she thought.

Lily got up, brushed herself off, walked back to the castle and turned into bed early. She couldn't help but dream about a boy with long black hair, and twinkling blue eyes all night long.
