No one really knows what had happened in Remus's hospital room that night, no one other than the other 7 people who were also in there. All you could hear from the outside was the thudding of one or two bodies hitting the floor from fainting, a very heated argument, and a long silence before the girls stormed out. After another couple of hours, the only one who was left by Remus's bedside was James.

He starred out the window, thinking about Lily. Thinking about what was going to happen next. Lily distinctly told him that she was not so sure she trusted him anymore, after keeping such a big secret from her. How could he face Ruth and Kate tomorrow? Did he just lose three friends? The good news, at least, is that Kate did not figure out that James, Sirius, and Peter were animaguses, so there was still a chance of patching things up with Lily.

"Hey there, James." Said a voice from behind.

James turned around and saw none other than Lani standing behind him.

"What are you doing? You're not suppose to be in here." said James in a rather hostile manner.

Lani, sensing that he was upset, simply said "To check on you. You know if you were a bit more caring then Lily wouldnt be turning to Zach for comfort."

"What?"

Lani put on her innocent face and said "I'm sorry you have to find out this way, but on my way up, I past the library and the two of them were certainly gettin cozy. And I thought Lily hated Zach." she said, adding a little bit of a chuckle at the end.

"Yeah...so did I." James said, his heart sinking.

Then, Lani walked over and sat next to him. She put her arm through his and rested her head on his shoulder. "You poor thing, you must feel terrible."

"Yes well...wait a minute." James had just realized something. "How did you know I was up here? How did...how come...how much do you know?"

Lani looked shocked like James was accusing her of some crime. "Well I saw Sirius and Peter coming from here, and when I noticed you and Remus weren't with them, I thought maybe you were up here. If you mean how much do I know about why you're here, well I have no idea...Don't worry I'm not nosy like some people. I understand that some things you just have to keep to yourself."

"Well...I thank you for that." James said, pulling away and sliding further down the bench, away from Lani.

Lani wasn't the type of girl to give up easily, so immediatly she slid back next to him and said "James..." very softly.

He looked at her, and before he knew it, Lani had leaned in and kiss him. He wanted to pull away but couldnt.

"James I'm sorry..." Lily had just walked in to apologize, and when she saw this mind boggling scene before her, she said "For ever thinking of giving you another chance!"

James had just realized that Lily had seen him and Lani kissing. He ran down the steps after her, and caught her at the landing.

"Lily...let me explain." James said.

"Explain what? What could you possibly explain?"

"That I love you!"

"That's a lie! It's just like every other lie you've ever told me. First you're protecting a warewolf, and then you're locking lips with that skank! James I really dont know what to say to you."

"Say that you'll give me another chance! And what about you? You and Zach!"

"What about me and Zach? There you go again, being jealous. James I don't know what to do about this. Why should I give you another chance? I've given you plenty of chances."

"Okay, so I've kept ONE thing from you, I'm still the James you've known for 6 and a half years!"

"James I'm not so sure I know you anymore." With that Lily walked to the window, took the necklace off, placed it on the window sill, and walked away.

James watched her walk away until she was out of sight, then picked up the necklace and went back to the hospital wing. Lani had already left, so James sat by Remus's bed, starred at the necklace, and thought about Lily.

When Lani got back to her room, Melonie and Caroline were still awake.

"Mission accomplished." She smiled.

"So he believed you about Zach and Lily?" Caroline asked.

"Of course. And Lily took the bait, she saw us kissing." Lani said.

Melonie gave her a high-five and said "Maybe this night wasnt so bad after all!"
