A/N- Sniff, sniff.....Only ONE review for my last chapter. Everyone seemed to really like A World Full of Flowers, but I guess no one really wants a sequel eh?

Sirius Conversations

"James? James? James! Guys are so impossible!" Ally exclaimed, throwing her hands up in frustration.

Minutes after Lily left, James' mind pretty much shut out all of his surroundings and he was left with his nagging thoughts.

Why was she so angry about Ally? I thought she would be happy for me, I mean we're friends.... Wait....is she jealous? Nah, that can't be it. Can it?

"JAMES!"

"Oww! That was my ear!" James exclaimed.

"Well, if you would listen to me then I wouldn't have to yell," Ally said.

With the ringing in his ears gradually lessening, James could hear clearly again. "So what were you saying?" he asked.

"I was saying," Ally started, "what's up with you and Evans?"

"Nothing. We're just friends," James answered.

Ally eyed him suspiciously. "So you have no feelings for her what so ever?"

"Only friendly ones," James replied.

Seeming satisfied with his answer, Ally pulled James into a very intense kiss.

James had met Ally the same day Lily left for Petunia's wedding. The two weren't serious or anything; they basically just used each other as snogging partners.

As Ally's hand began to entangle itself in his hair, James broke the kiss. "Sorry babe but I promised Sirius I'd meet him back at our dorm."

"It seems like all you ever do when we're together is make excuses to leave," Ally said looking slightly hurt.

"Sorry," James replied. "But Sirius said it was really important. I'll catch you later." Placing a quick kiss on Ally's lips, James made his way into the castle.

After walking up a few flights of stairs, James ran into none other than Sirius, Emma, and Lily.

"Hey Prongs!" Sirius greeted.

"Hi," James said sending a glance at Lily.

Great. This is just what I need on my first day back, Lily thought.

"Umm....do you guys mind if I borrow Sirius for a while?" James asked.

"Sure," Emma said. "Come on Lily, lets go get some of the pie."

Lily, glad she had a reason to get away from James, followed Emma in the direction of the kitchens.

"So what's up?" Sirius asked.

"Well," James began, " I need a bit of advice and you seem to be really good with girls...."

"Damn right I'm good with the ladies!" Sirius exclaimed. "And don't you forget it."

James rolled his eyes. "Can you be serious for just five minutes?"

"Jamesie....I am Sirius."

"That joke is older than my great grandfather," James said. "Are you gonna help me or what?"

"Sure thing," Sirius replied.

"Right. So uh after Dumbledore's speech, Lily and I went out to the courtyard. We started talking and then Ally showed up...."

"Ah, that's gotta suck," Sirius said interrupting him.

"And when Lily found out Ally was my girlfriend she got pretty upset," James said. "Now we both know that I've still got feelings for Lily, but she can't expect me to sit around and wait until she's ready for a relationship. And I don't see why she got mad in the first place; I mean we're friends so she can't she just be happy for me?"

Sirius was quiet for a moment, taking in all the information. "It seems my dear boy, that you're in deep doo-doo."

"Naw dip Padfoot. Thanks for pointing out the obvious."

"Sorry," Sirius said smiling sheepishly. "Well, I know what you can do."

"You do?" James asked surprised.

"Yeah, this same situation happened to me once...."

"Really?" James asked now listening intently.

"Well, actually I saw it on a muggle movie. It was a little different from your problem.....ok it was a lot different from your problem. Yeah, so, never mind!" Sirius finished.

"You made me listen to you ramble and yet you still haven't helped me any," James said.

"Right," Sirius replied. "Well, let me put it this way, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

"So you're saying I should forget about Lily?"

"At least until she realizes what a great catch you are and how much she wants to shag you senseless," Sirius answered.

"I don't know Padfoot. I've liked Lily for, well, as long as I can remember," James said.

"You're with Ally. Not Lily. You're seventeen and yet you sound like an old fart," Sirius said.

James let out a small chuckle. "Thanks mate."

"Anytime! Now, about Ally. How far have you gone with her?" Sirius asked.

"Padfoot I do not feel I am at liberty to discuss my sex life with you," James answered.

"Oh, come on!" Sirius exclaimed. "Please, please, PLEASE!"

"Fine! Sheesh, don't get your panties in a wad. No, I haven't slept with Ally."

"Is it because she aint got enough junk in the trunk? Cause I know this spell...."

"Padfoot! Her arse it not the problem! It's just fine the way it is," James said.

"Well, if you ever change your mind you know where to find me," Sirius replied winking.

James rolled his eyes.

"You guys are in the same spot we left you in!" Emma said suddenly appearing with Lily at her side. "We even had three bowls of ice cream and we ate slowly."

"We were doing some male bonding," Sirius said. "Isn't that right Jamesie?"

"Right."

"In the middle of the hallway?"Lily asked.

"It's all the rage now a days," Sirius said matter-of-factly.

"Are you guys heading back to the common room?" Emma asked.

"Sure are! Would you like to escort us?" Sirius asked holding out his arm.

"I would be honored," Emma said bowing. She hooked arms with Sirius and then with James.

"Are you coming Lily?" James asked.

"Umm, no. I'll catch up with you guys later."

"You sure?" James asked.

"Yeah."

"You heard the lady! Onward!" Sirius yelled. Together the three of them skipped down the hallway, leaving Lily quite alone.

Left alone in the deserted hallway, Lily started to feel as if someone was watching her. Looking around she noticed nothing and tried to brush the feeling aside. All of a sudden, Lily heard a nosie coming from behind her.

Thump. Thump.

Lily's heart starting beating a little faster. Turning around Lily's eyes were met with only the desered corridoor. "Wh- Whose there?" she asked her voice barely above a whisper.

No answer.

I'm probably just over reacting, Lily thought. I mean this is Hogwarts, everything is capable of moving. I can't believe I got that frightened over a little noise.

Thump. Thump.

This time the sound was closer. Real close.

Hearing the noise, all her rational thoughts escaped her mind, leaving nothing but fear. Lily once again turned around but saw nothing. As her hand reached for her wand a voice behind her said "I would put that away if I were you."

Turning around, Lily was face to face with non other then.....Ally.

A/N- Woooo! Scary eh? Weeeellll....please be kind and review! Thanks!
