Title: 7th Year Dares

Chapter 3: The Truth

"Alright, here's my list!" Remus smiled in triumph.

Sirius' jaw dropped at the sight of those girls. "Chelsea Young?" He yelled. "You have GOT to be KIDDING me!" Sirius complained.

"You know Padfoot, you don't HAVE to. Let me remind you what you have to do if you don't-" Remus smiled.

Sirius cut him off by saying, "No, no you don't need to because I will complete my dare. Now Prongs here."

"I just can't figure how to get close to her." James mumbled and groaned in frustration.

"Well, why can't any guy get close to her?" Sirius asked sitting down next to him in the common room.

James thought about that, hard. Really hard. Really really hard. "I don't know." He said.

Remus chuckled. "No, I don't suppose anyone does." He said.

James smiled mischievously. "Soon enough, I will." And grabbed some parchment and a quill.

Lily jumped on her bed and pulled out a leather bound book and a quill.

Dear Diary,

I just wish the memory would go away. I wish it never happened. It's spoiling everything. Over the summer, I told myself I would get over it. I thought I had but when James got close, I got scared. It all came back.

Let me refresh you about what Im talking about. I've gone through so many diaries Im not sure if it's in here.

His name was Kyle. A rich little kid who lived across the street from me. Drove a Mercedes- Benz and bout me nice things. He had me wrapped around his little finger. It was our one year anniversary and he had the whole night planned.

Dinner at the fanciest restaurant in town, outside on the patio. We danced a bit, had a 5 course meal. He said he wanted to spend more time with me and drove around. When he stopped it wasn't at my house. Yeah a motel, but a motel in disguise.

I don't want to get into too much detail. But he took advantage of me. Candle sticks are my new best friend. Waked him in the head with one and ran.

I trust no guy anymore. It is sad too. James is such a nice guy. He's loyal, sweet caring. But I don't trust him.

No one knows about this but my girl friends. They are always around to shield me. Try to make me look good when a guy come too close, instead of scared.

If only I could get over it, my life would be perfect. It's a life fighting thing. I don't think I could ever get over it.

Love Always,

Lily

Note: So now you all know her secret.

How will James ever gain her trust? Or any guy for that matter…
