"Healing is a very complicated job. It requires great skill, agility and memory to mix the human body with magic. Healing also greatly depends on your N.E.W.T.s. And this is why I am here, to help you achieve your goal; I am not here to play games, I am here to teach you what I know- and in order to do that I need your cooperation. If anybody in this room disagrees you may take your belongings and walk out of this room." Lily, having chosen Healing as her future career was sitting in a large classroom with her healing teacher, Professor Pomfrey. A few people fidgeted. "Well, in that case, let us begin. I trust you all have brought the books that you were expected to bring; Please take out "HEALING: The Magical Art" by James Jenkins and turn to chapter 1."

After lunch, instead of enjoying her free period, she had to patrol the halls with James. Lily walked alone with her nose in a healing book. Just when she began wondering where James was, she turned around and saw that he was running towards her. His cheeks were red, his untidy hair was surrounding his face.

"Sorry I'm late. I just got back from quidditch practice." he said

"Where are your glasses?" she asked.

"Got contacts. Wait, Lily, look at me for a second."

"What?" she faced him.

"You have an eyelash." She looked into his eyes as he brushed it off her cheek. Her skin tingled. She looked down, knowing that there was a part of her that wanted him. James lifted up her chin with his finger. She lost the feeling in her legs. "Look I'm really sorry about what happened the other day, please come tonight." His hazel eyes pleaded.

She looked away, not knowing what to answer. "You better be there Potter." she said softly.

"Bloomy" said Alexis. The Fat Lady nodded and let Lily and Alexis through the portrait hole. 

The Gryffindor Common Room was a large square room with large French windows and a fireplace. The walls were a bold red symbolizing one of the colors of Gryffindor. On it hung an enormous Gryffindor flag, and a bulletin board that kept the students notified of activities, exams, and reminders. There were four large sofas scattered around the room, and there were another six sofa chairs next to the fireplace.

"I don't know what has gotten into me, I'm beginning to get an easy side for him lately." Lily said to Alexis. "I mean, this is the guy who gave me hell for 6 years"

"Five years, he didn't even look at you last year, I wonder why. We already spoke about this." Alexis interrupted.

"Doesn't matter. What if I'm going crazy?"

Alexis looked at her as if she really was going crazy. "Honey, you should have a belly button check to make sure you are part of the human race."

It was late now; a few of the fifth years were up studying for their OWLs. Giselle and Sirius were cuddling up by the fireplace, Lily and Alexis were sitting on one of the couches in their pajamas.

"Look, Lily, I told you before, give him a chance." Alexis said, "You'll be surprised. Take that into consideration. Anyway, I'm exhausted. I'm going to sleep, Night." She rubbed her gray eyes. "I don't know how I'm ever going to get through this acne phase." she muttered checking herself in the mirror.

"Come on Alexis, be quiet, you're beautiful. I'll be there in a minute. Good night."

          "Where is Sirius?" James asked Remus. The door opened and in walked Sirius, his hands filled with baked goods; his mouth contained more food than he was holding.

"Fi Fems! Fi Fits!" (A/N: Hi James! Hi Remus!)Sirius said with a mouth full of treacle tarts.

"Am I the only one who can't comprehend what you're saying?" asked Remus. Sirius swallowed.

          "I'm back from the kitchens. Anyway, what's up?" Sirius said.

          "Well, Prongsie here is dieing to tell us something, but I have to meet up with Sarah, so –see you lata." Remus left.

          "What is it?" Sirius asked.

          "I think I finally got her to go out with me- well, maybe not go out but she's beginning to like me." James said. He was staring into space, the fact that he said it, made it feel so real that he couldn't believe it.

          "Ham is shwet." (A/N: That's swell.) He replied dully, his mouth once again stuffed with baked goods.

"Uh, as a good and LOYAL friend, you should be jumping for joy- Moonikins." James took some cream puffs from Sirius.

          Sirius swallowed. "Well that's why my name is Sirius! Don't get me wrong, I am. It's just that you really have to be careful now that you've gotten her. Don't shoo her away with any sudden movements."

          "Far foo shweeding Fit's vashazime?" (Are you reading Remus's magazine?)

          "Jits fomfing balfed baven snbe." (It's something called common sense.)
