A/N: Thanks for the feedback I do appreciate it. And don't worry although am not getting loads, I will still be going on with this fic. I enjoy it too much (not to mention the fact that my 'beta' of sorts would kill me :D)

Here is new chapter. To be honest I am not all that happy with it, so I would love for you guys to let me know what you think

James made his way down to breakfast the next morning, feeling slightly stupid after his behaviour last night, and glad that Sirius was the only one that had witnessed it. He really needed to get a grip on his thing with Lily, it really wasn't healthy.

As he stumbled down the many flights of stairs to the Great Hall, he thought of what it was that could possibly push Lily towards Sirius. Although he was satisfied that nothing romantic was going on between the two of them, he was still in the dark as to what it was all about. All Sirius had said to James was that she had wanted to talk to him about something, and to get his advice, and that it had nothing to do with James. But what exactly it was he couldn't decipher, and Sirius, uncharacteristically, was remaining tight lipped about it.

"Hey Potter," a voice called from behind as he walked through the doors to the hall. He turned around to see a mound of messy blonde hair coming towards him quickly.

"Hi August," James smiled, "although I know how trendy I am and how much people wish to be like me, the messy hair style just doesn't work on you."

Augie rolled her eyes, "whatever James, I haven't had a chance to fix my hair yet. This style is caused by lack of time to get ready, not because I had this overwhelming desire to look like you."

James laughed, "So what was it that you wanted?"

"Quidditch tryouts are on Friday, 6 o'clock. Make sure you're there I need your help to find us a new beater and chaser this year."

James nodded, "sure I'll be there. So liking role of Quidditch captain?"

Augie smiled wearily, "Yeah, I do. But it is a lot of work, and the season hasn't even started yet. No wonder you pulled out from the position."

James just shrugged, "it takes up time, but it is a hell of a lot of fun."

Augie nodded in agreement as she sat down at their table, next to Remus. James plonked down next to Alice, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Although part of James wished he had of kept his position as Quidditch captain, he knew it was better for himself and the team to step down and he knew Augie would be a great captain, as she was just as passionate about Quidditch as him. He just didn't think he would have enough time to squeeze being captain in with his classes, Head Boy responsibilities and snogging Miss Evans. Is that all you think about a voice spoke in his head. With Lily? No I think about more than that, but I'm not going to get to any of those dreams until I manage to snog her.

But for now he'd settle for knowing what it was that she and Sirius were keeping from him. He looked over at Lily as she ate her breakfast quietly, sifting through the Daily Prophet. She still looked tired, but she also looked slightly brighter, brighter than he had seen her since last year. She looked up from the paper and smiled faintly at him, causing James to blush ever so slightly.

"Potter, Dumbledore wishes to see us at the end of the day. We are to meet him at the front of his office," Lily said, as she folded her paper and placed it beside her half empty glass.

"What for?" James asked curiously.

She just shrugged, "he didn't say."

James nodded and went back to eating his breakfast, wondering what it was Dumbledore wanted.

James trudged out of his Advanced Transfiguration lesson towards Dumbledore's office, feeling very tired and overwhelmed. This was going to be a long year, he thought dismally.

He saw Lily already there, looking at the two Gargoyles with curiosity, as if she was examining something in a museum. He smiled to himself as he walked towards her. Her hair was pulled back haphazardly into a bun, with bits of hair falling over her face, which she repeatedly tucked behind her ear.

"And Sirius swore to me he wasn't doing anything with you," James said, shaking his head at her.

Lily jumped around startled and looked at James, confused.

"What did you say Potter?"

"I said it looks like Sirius was lying to me, he said you haven't been doing anything amorous together. But you look just like some of the girls I have seen after they have had a conversation with Sirius."

Lily looked slightly taken aback with that comment, but recovered quickly, "and so what if I was with Sirius, what does it have to do with you?"

Now it was James' turn to look shocked, but after a moment rationalising the situation he responded, "Nice try Evans, but Sirius was in transfiguration with me. And he wouldn't lie to me about something like that, not when he had already promised me...." His voice trailed off realising it might not be a good idea to admit to Evan's that he had been jealous of her and Sirius last night.

Lily raised an eyebrow at him, and was about to respond. Fortunately James was saved by the sudden movement of the gargoyles, which sprung apart revealing their headmaster standing at the base of the stairs.

"Ah, how are you this afternoon? James, Lily" he inclined his head towards each of them, smiling warmly at them both.

"Fine thanks Professor," James replied, "so what have you made your password to your office this year Professor? What new muggle sweet did you discover over the summer?"

Dumbledore laughed slightly, "I have become quite fond of herbet lemons I believe they are called." He looked at Lily for confirmation.

She smiled, "sherbet lemons Professor, nice choice. I am quite fond of those also."

"So I suppose you are wondering why I have summoned you both here?" he asked.

James and Lily both nodded in response.

"I believe you have yet to be shown your Head room."

Both Lily and James face brightened at the announcement. James partially relieved he wasn't getting in trouble for something while Lily was around.

Dumbledore made his way down the corridor and along a familiar path which lead to the Gryffindor common room. He stopped however, just before the fat lady and to a picture of a lion.

"I believe you will find this portrait similar to the one that is used in front of the kitchens James," Dumbledore stated, causing James to smile sheepishly and Lily to roll her eyes.

Dumbledore stretched out his finger and scratched the lion behind its ear, causing it to purr loudly. As the purring increase, it transformed into a shiny gold handle, which Dumbledore turned revealing a large common room, with two doors leading off from the room.

Lily and James stepped through after Dumbledore and gazed around the room. It had dark polished wooden floor boards, with a large rug splayed over the top, sporting the Hogwarts seal.

A large fire place was already alit, flames dancing and crackling over the charcoaled logs. Two large and comfortable looking deep red lounges were placed around the fire. The walls of the room were a golden colour, with torches spread along the walls providing the light to the room. James also noticed two large mahogany desks in the corner.

He glanced at Lily slightly, and noticed her looking at the room with awe. And he even had to admit it was beautiful, and large. A perfect place for a party, he smiled.

"The bathroom is behind the door to your right, and the passage which leads to the Gryffindor common room is to your left. I will leave you both to enjoy it. You can have friends in here, but they need to be accompanied by either of you to gain access," he explained, focusing mostly on James.

"Have a good evening," he said as he walked back through to the main corridor.

Lily had already made her way to one of the lounges and gazed into the fire. James moved towards her and sat in the opposite lounge, "Nice huh?"

Lily nodded.

James stared at her for a while longer, "You know Evans, why didn't you just tell us all what was wrong? Why did you just go to Sirius?"

Lily looked up at him, surprised "What are you talking about Potter? Did Sirius tell you?"

James stared back at her, his poker face in place, "he mentioned something." Well it was technically true.

Lily jumped up from the lounge and stormed into the Gryffindor common room. James followed her and watched with a smile on his face, although he was hoping to get more information out of her, he was still enjoying the look on Sirius' face as Lily dragged him out of the common room.

"Not again," he heard Sirius mutter on his way through the portrait hole.

See that little box just there that says GO? You and I both know you want to press it and leave a review :D
