Diary,

Ooh, my stomach. Too much bacon.

I apologize, journal-thing, really I do. It's almost Halloween. Been awhile since I last wrote, huh? Again, I'm sorry. School and such, you understand.

I'm sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace. I didn't think it would be this comfortable, considering the position I'm in, but it is! In case you're wondering, I have my back laying on the seat of the couch, with my knees hanging off the back of it. Quite comfy. Think: Reverse-sitting.

I'm alone, of course. Not that it would matter, since this ink has been bewitched to be unseen by others. ('Cept me and you, of course-ids.) Lily is upstairs, snoring like a fat cow. (Do they snore? Well, I imagine if they did, it would sound like Lily.) As if it's not bad enough, me having an upset stomach as it is.

The boys are gone off to Hogsmeade, as it's "that time of the month" for Remus. I swear! He has been so moody lately! Not even chocolate can calm him down! And I swear to you, I heard him growl at me yesterday when I went to grab an abandoned, sad, neglected piece of chocolate that was just begging to be saved and SAVORED in my tummy. I thought he might "break" a little early, if you know what I mean. It was quite frightful.

I was so terrified that I backed away into Sirius without even realizing that my slight weight would cause us to tumble over. And I actually thought I wasn't that big! But NO, he had to turn all red as if a hippogriff mowed him down. Honestly, he couldn't have been that winded!

Anyway, James made some crude joke about how I should lighten up on the bacon. HONESTLY! Lighten up? On bacon? That's just crazy talk!

Oh, oh! They're back, they're back! I didn't even realize it was after dawn yet! No one else has come out of the dormitories… Maybe that's because it's Sunday, though.

Oh, oh no. I think I may be stuck. I've just tried to roll over. I'll just stay like this, then. Even though I can practically feel all the blood rushing to my head. It feels kind of nice. Tickly, a bit.

Remus has just sitten next to me. Poor bloke. Looks a bit flushed. Must be the moon. (heh, I'm funny.)

And, there you have it. Peter's on my other side.

Someone's just asked me what I'm still doing awake. It was James I think, but I can't be sure, as I'm a bit in the "stuck" department.

"It's a combination of many things." I answered.

Then Remus rasped at me (rasped, yes… maybe he has a soar throat?), "Are you sick?"

I was about to tell him all about the bacon and Lily's manly-snores, but then I realized that he was looking a little about-to-pukey. So I held back. Instead, "Not as bad as you, Rems."

Sirius got all scoffy above my head. Then he crouched down and got all close-like. Then he BREATHED IN MY EAR. "You shouldn't be sitting like that." He said. "Someone's going to see your ears."

I wouldn't have replied so meanly, but I must admit, I am sensitive about my ears. And people being close to them. And breathing in them.

"Oh yea!" I said all bad-comeback-like. "Well, why don't you just turn all into a dog- like, and then try and tell me how to sit, huh?"

He just smiled all close to my head still and then got up and walked away. I think he's on the armchair across from the couch, but again, I can't be sure. (I wouldn't bet my ears on it that's for sure.) He really irks me sometimes!

James is trying to read what I'm writing. Of course he looks confused… yay. Oh well-ids, I suppose I'll stop writing now. Especially since Remus has just taken out a bag of chocolates.

Faylinn closed her journal, tossing it onto the floor. She grinned at James. "Don't bother, James. You can't read it."

"So how are things on the Lily front?" James asked, plopping into an armchair next to Sirius's.

Faylinn shrugged, which looked more like a tribe-dance because of the way she was sitting. "Operation 'Get Lily to confess her undying love and devotion to James' has just entered phase seventy-four as of yesterday."

Sirius chuckled. "What in Merlin's name are you talking about?"

Remus smiled meekly as he unwrapped a chocolate. "You don't want to know, Padfoot."

Faylinn nodded, pulling a chocolate off of Remus's lap. "That's highly privileged information, that is." She said as she tossed the empty wrapper onto Peter's lap swiftly, trying to make it look like he had taken the candy instead of her. "You know… Need-to-know basis."

"Well," James laughed. "Don't I need to know?"

"No." Faylinn said mischievously. "I mean, what with what happened last time you were left alone with Lily and all…."

"Right!" Peter agreed, reaching over Faylinn to sift through the chocolate bag. "I heard Lily talking to Helen Edison yesterday. Helen said that Lily shouldn't go out with you because you'd probably just use her or something like that."

Faylinn shot up quickly, resulting in her rolling off the couch in a most ungraceful way. "What?!" She exclaimed, sitting cross-legged on the floor. "Helen said that?!"

Peter nodded, sending Faylinn to glare menacingly at James. "You wouldn't do that, though!" She paused. "Would you?"

"Of course not!" James protested.

Sirius shrugged. "Maybe Helen's just saying that to Lily because she wants James for herself." He grinned then. "And by the way, Faylinn. You have to be the only person I know who can fall over while sitting down."

Faylinn scowled. "Yeah! Well, yeah!" She rolled her eyes and leaned against Remus's legs. "Anyway, I think you're right, though. Helen's just like those other girls who get all swoony and stuff when ever James is around. She's probably hoping you'll get over Lily and notice her or something." She said, turning to James for the last part, completely unawares of Sirius's prolonged stare.

"Not going to happen." James said, grinning.

"Does Lily like James?" Peter asked Faylinn.

"Dunno…" The girl answered, pulling more chocolates out of the bag. "It's hard to tell. If I can't get anything out of her soon, though…" She giggled. "Maybe I should just go through her stuff, eh?"

Remus rolled his eyes. "What is this, your life's mission?"

Faylinn nodded. "But of course, oh-wolfy-one!" She paused, holding a chocolate just inches away from her mouth. "Although I do know what Lily's plotting to try to get back at me…"

"What's that?" Sirius asked with a smirk.

"Nothing." Faylinn shrugged. "Never mind it." She looked down, seeming completely absorbed in the empty candy wrappers in her lap.

"Oh come on!" James exulted. "Tell us!"

Faylinn shook her head, standing up and brushing the wrappers off of her lap. "Nah, maybe some other time. I'm pretty tired, been up all night, you know. What with Lily's man-" She stopped herself, smiling. "Um, never mind." She bent down to grab her journal as she made her way to the girls' dormitories.

"What are you talking about?" She heard James call after her. "Lily's man what?"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Lily groaned loudly. "We've had this conversation a thousand times, Faylinn!" She cried, pulling her book over her head. "I'm getting sick of talking about James this and Potter that!"

Faylinn tapped her quill repetitively on the desk. "Did I say anything about James Potter?" She asked innocently. "No. I asked you if there was, by any chance, anyone you had a tiny wee-bit of a crush on."

Lily rolled her eyes, setting the book down. "You say that like you weren't going to mention him. Listen to me, Faylinn Tatum! I am no stupid! Every time we talk about boys, you bring up Potter!"

"He likes you, you know." Faylinn grinned mischievously.

"He likes the idea of me." Lily argued. "He wants what he can't, and will never, have."

Faylinn smirked. "And who says I was going to ask you about James? The world doesn't revolve around him, you know. Maybe I have my own boy troubles that I needed your advice on." She sighed, still smiling. "But I guess I'll just have to go elsewhere with my problems." She stood, about to walk out of the library.

"No!" Lily exclaimed, jumping up to grab hold of Faylinn's arm. "You can talk to me! It's just- I- Well, okay! Sit down!" She ordered, pointing to the chair.

Faylinn sat down obediently, casting a nonchalant glance at the bookshelf behind her, where she knew very well that Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter stood, hidden by the large texts. "Alright, alright," she said, pretending to be exasperated.

"Now, now," Lily said, once she was seated comfortably. "What did you need to tell me?" She waggled her eyebrows gleefully. "Is it about Remus?"

Faylinn coughed loudly, bending over her Charms book. "What the--?!" She shrieked. She held her hands in front of her then, taking a deep breath and blinking slowly before responding more quietly this time. "What is it with you and Remus?" She demanded to know. "You'd think that after the four hundred millionth time of me telling you-"

"I think it's so cute that you like him." Lily said, smiling appreciatively. "Even if he is a bit quiet. I would've thought you to go for someone a little more outspoken. Like Sirius Black maybe."

Faylinn choked on her own breath again, coughing to try and settle her breathing. "Lily!" She hissed frantically. "Stop it!" She laughed then, a nervous, awkward laugh. "Would you just let me talk before you go spouting off random theories?!"

Lily nodded her head slowly. "Sure, but I already know what you're going to-"

"No you don't!" Faylinn protested, trying to restrain herself from running clear out of the library and hiding in the Forbidden Forest until she was sure her embarrassment had died down.

"Fine, fine, fine. Tell me all your problems, oh-obsessed-with-Remus one."

"I am not!" She whispered, silently berating herself for not being able to come up with a better comeback.

"You hang out with him all the time."

"I hang out with you all the time too!"

"That's different, Faylinn."

"It is not!"

"Sure it is. For instance, I'm of the female gender."

"No, it's not! For instance, I don't think of Remus and his—gender!"

Lily's eyes widened suddenly as she bent her head down, laughing hysterically into her book. "I can't believe you just said that…" She giggled madly.

"It wasn't supposed to come out like that." Faylinn mumbled, rolling her eyes.

Lily's head shot up, her face varying from that of mock-seriousness and complete amusement. "No, really, Faylinn. Tell me what you were going to tell me before you started talking about Remus's whatsit."

Faylinn gasped, backing away from the redhead in horror. "I was not talking about his whatsit!" She protested. "It was just a slip-up! I didn't mean his—ugh!"

"Just tell me what you were going to say!"

"Fine." Faylinn said slowly.

There was a long moment of silence.

"Um, Faylinn." Lily said in a bored, monotone voice. "I'm kind of waiting."

Faylinn sighed. "I, um, forgot?" She said unconvincingly.

"I'm going to strangle you."

"No doubt." Faylinn replied, snickering slightly. "Well, in that case! Until I remember…"

Lily rolled her eyes. "If you even!" She exclaimed. "I don't want to hear another word about-"

Faylinn leaned forward, smiling sweetly. "I was going to suggest that we study for our Charms project. Why, what did you have in mind?"

Lily shook her head, her cheeks blushing furiously as she opened her book. "Nothing, I was just-- Never mind."

Faylinn grinned mischievously once more and tapped her quill on the desk. "Have you realized, Lily, that I haven't brought up the subject, until this very moment of course, of James Potter in over three weeks?"

Lily shrugged. "Am I supposed to care or…?"

Faylinn's grin only widened. "Oh, I don't know… I was just pointing out that you are the one who keeps bringing him up."

Lily hid her face behind her book. "I do not willingly talk about him!"

"I think you do. And I think that if I just asked around to some of the other girls in our year… they'd think so too."

"I'm the only girl you talk to. The others don't like you, remember?"

"Yes, well, that doesn't mean they won't talk to me. Especially if they have as big of a mouth as Helen Edison."

Lily slammed her book onto the table. "You talked to Helen about me?"

Faylinn nodded. "She had some interesting little facts to point out. Mind you, I only sat there and listened to her talk and talk for what seemed like hours, but… She did have some information that I was all too eager to hear."

Lily whimpered pathetically, slouching down into her seat. "What did she tell you?"

"Many, many things." Faylinn answered matter-of-factly.

"Like what?"

"Like…" Faylinn paused, studying Lily. "You can trust me, you know. I, after all, confided in you on lots of things."

"Not half as many as those little troublemakers!" Lily pointed out. "You're more than just chummy with them! You tell them more than you've ever told me, I know it!"

Faylinn smirked. "Again, we're not talking about James, Lily. You can't go even a few seconds without bringing up that poor boy, can you?"

Lily flushed, leaning back in her chair. "Fine! What id Helen tell you?!"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Faylinn teased.

Lily stood up, looking thoroughly annoyed. "I'm not talking about this anymore!" She hissed and rushed out of the library, pulling her bag behind her angrily.

Faylinn sat there, watching the door, holding a finger up in the air to signal for the boys to stay where they were. She sat, seeming to be waiting for something, still watching the door intently.

Lily stormed back into the library and stomped up to the small table that Faylinn was seated at. "IF YOU TELL ANYONE!" She screeched, looking utterly perturbed. "I WILL-- YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'LL DO!!" And with that she turned on her heel and stomped right back out of the library.

"Has she gone mad?" James asked, stepping out from his hiding spot behind the bookshelf.

Faylinn shook her head, grinning. "No, I don't think so."

"So…" Sirius said playfully as he stepped behind her. "I'm your type, but you've got a thing for Moony over here?"

Faylinn froze.

::AN:: Muahaha Don't you luv me?

Sorry about my sister's annoying AN at the beginning of the chappie. She got into my files and put it in there while I was sleeping. I was going to delete it but she about had a fit, and I value my life so…

And for the record! She only helped me with everything before those little ":::" things!

Btw, about the bacon... Unless you've already caught on... It's nothing... and I'd like to add that my sister is slightly crazy.
