It had been a few weeks after James's party and Lily and James's kiss was the most talked about moment. Lily had been cornered by numerous students asking about the event. Lily who had gone back to her segregation was very fed up that she made a scene in front of the entire school during lunch one day. From then on Lily was seen only by herself in the library, she wouldn't even talk to Emily anymore.

"You know you could die from not eating," said Remus Lupin settling himself beside Lily.

"I have nothing to say about the party so if you could leave me alone I would appreciate it, I'm having a little trouble in Potions," said Lily not even looking up.

"I just thought you might like some toast and sausages I smuggled from breakfast. The house elves sure do cook some outstanding meals."

"Thank you. If that's all , please leave," said Lily scribbling a definition down.

"That's wrong. Birch wood is a extremely important if you should be making a Intelligent Potion. The Birch Wood helps sharpen the senses, like have you noticed that whenever your studying next the Birch tree by the lake, you feel like you can succeed in anything? Well enjoy the breakfast." Lily looked at her parchment and then at Remus.

"Wait, Remus, sit down." Remus resumed his seat and stared at Lily, "What do you want?"

"If I can recount the events clearly…"

"James and I are over," said Lily resuming writing.

"… You asked me to sit down, therefore you wanted to speak to me."

"But, you approached me."

"Can't a friend approach a friend?"

"Yes, but everyone knows that I'm always alone and I rarely talk to anyone."

"Rarely, that's an understatement."

"Excuse me, I talk to the professors."

"Last time I checked Lily, we were the pupils and they were the teachers."

"I have nothing to talk to you about so if you have nothing to say then leave!" huffed Lily, now furiously writing.

"Oh but I a lot to say."

"But you said that you sat down here because you thought I had something to say, and that you had nothing to say."

"Okay now you are confusing me."

"Just go!"

"No," Remus said quietly.

"And why not?"

"Because I have something to say."

"Then say it!"

"Get back together with James or at least talk to him. He needs you, have you noticed how boring he has been since you and him split. I mean there have been absolutely no good pranks at all round here. Sirius, Peter, and I can pull off a few good ones but without our fourth man, well it has begun to be a bit dreary."

"That isn't my fault, and to be honest, I like it around here without all the chaos of pranks."

"Lily, James hasn't really looked at a girl like he has with you. Believe me, I know, I see more than people think. I saw you and James at the party and you two belong together. Without you, Lily, James has lost his fun, and spirit. At the party after you had left, James went up to his room and didn't speak to anyone for the rest of the night. I peeked in the room a little bit after and saw him work out so hard that I thought he was going to hurt himself." Remus let Lily think of this for a bit when he finally said, "Lily talk to James. Enjoy the toast, and have a nice day. Our room should be empty around 7." Remus got up and strolled out of the library. Lily stared at the table and then continued writing.

"Good practice, James, see you later," said Sirius as he closed the door leaving only James in the dorm. James entered the bathroom and took a long shower, mostly letting the hot water pour on him. He grabbed a towel and went to get changed, only finding Lily on his bed with a pair of tight jeans, a large black turtleneck on, hair in a loose bun on top of her head and her glasses on. She was petting David's cat, Goliath.

"Yes?" asked James pulling the towel around his waist tighter.

"Hi."

"Hi, can I help you?"

"Tell me what happened the night you saw Charlie and me and I'll tell you what happened from my perspective and then maybe we can somehow figure something out."

"Why should I tell you?" he asked grabbing some clothes and going back in the bathroom.

"Because, I want to know. I think I have a right since technically we were still dating so as your girlfriend tell me what happened. Honestly tell me what happened."

James came out of the bathroom with sweatpants and a tee shirt on, "I was waiting in the Common Room for you to get ready when Lexie came down from your dorm and said that you wanted to surprise me by taking me to a new spot for our date. I followed her and she led me to the Room of Requirement. I opened the door and there was a king size bed with red satin covers and rose petals, and floating candles. Lexie told me to enjoy my night and that you were in the bathroom getting ready. She told me to light the candles and then you would come out. Lexie left and I lighted the candles. Jackie came out with a black satin robe and started to tell me all this stuff about you."

"What did she say?" Lily asked curiously.

James sat on the bed, "Said that you were seeing Charlie behind my back and that you were always talking about how you were going to dump me. She went on with this whole entire list of how you're a gold digger and you just wanted me to become popular since Lexie, Gabby, and her had never welcomed you in their group. She said that you were just using me and that I should listen to her because she had always cared about me. She then started to kiss me. I don't know what happened but I felt like I had to do anything and everything she told me to do. Then she pushed me onto the bed and started to take off my clothes. I finally shoved her off me. She still tried to kiss me but I pushed her to the ground. She looked up at me and then said that I should see for myself what you were doing behind my back. Said that she would be waiting for me there until I saw the truth. She pulled her robe on and then opened the door for me. That's when I saw you kissing Charlie. I ran back to Jackie who was waiting on the bed. All she said was, 'I told you so.' Lily then she kissed me again and then I just lost all of my senses. I know she used a potion on me, but I did everything she told. Lily, please forgive me! I, was mad and upset and that's when the Pops use their potions and magic against guys for their own purposes. Lily, I honestly didn't have any control of what was happening that night, and it wasn't until the next day that I realized what had happened."

Lily sat in silence as James studied her. Her emerald eyes were dazzling, they were piercing his with a stare that he couldn't interpret. Her pale skin was highlighted by her red hair and pale pink cheeks. She didn't wear any make-up. Her hair was in a mess of knots but they each seemed that they were placed there delicately with bits of strands hanging down and covering her soft almond eyes. Giving her a mysterious and powerful look. "James, I believe you. Now, Gabby came into my room…" Lily recounted the night that she had tried to deny so many times and now that she was sitting next to James, it seemed as if everything was alright. "And that's when I told Charlie to go. James, I'm sorry, I was very disappointed in you. I thought that you had changed, and now that I know what happened that night, I know you have. James, thank you, my mind has been put to rest." Lily kissed James's cheek and made for the door. As she was about to turn the doorknob she looked back and saw James just staring at the floor. She hung her head and left James alone.

She descended the cold stone steps using all of her power not to cry and run because the common room was filled with people, including the Pops. Just as she was about to begin the flight of stairs leading to her room a hand grabbed her shoulder, she spun around and met James's eyes with hers. He took her hand and held it firmly but gently, "James… I…"

"Last time you said that, it didn't turn out right. Let me try this one." James leaned in and kissed Lily passionately. Lily lost all of her senses and fell into James's arms for the whole common room to see. They broke apart, "I wasn't about to lose you again." Lily laughed with tears gliding down her face. The whole common room except for the Pops burst into applause.

Lexie sat there with complete hatred toward Lily. Gabby sat there smiling, not really knowing what was going on, and Jackie just stood and walked toward the portrait glancing at the happy couple.

"Well Mr. Potter," said Lily in James's arms on his bed, "I believe we are where we first started."

"I believe that we are."

"So what are you going to do about it?" smiled Lily.

"Nothing," said James turning off the light, "If you would be so kind, either don't hog the covers or leave, I need my beauty rest."

"Will you two lovebirds knock it off, some people are trying to sleep here," said Sirius clearly annoyed.

"I see that I am unwanted here, so good night Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, and the others in here." Lily made to get out the bed but strong arms pulled her back in and then strong lips kissed her. "I thought you weren't going to do anything about it?" smiled Lily after they broke away.

"I changed my mind." They kissed again.

"You know, you still owe me a date."

"I know." Lily laughed and kissed him again. She had never been happier.
