Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter

Disclaimer in Ch. 1.

As the waitress brought both their cups of hot chocolate to their table, Harry was more subdued than normal.Lily of course noticed this.

"Harry, what is it?" she asked gently.

When Harry didn't answer for a while, Lily began to get worried.

"Harry…"

"What exactly were you planning to research?" asked Harry abruptly.

"Erm… just the normal stuff," replied Lily, a confused look on her face, "Like your parents, where and when you were born, and your past. Why?"

"Lils," began Harry cautiously staring out the shop window, "Maybe doing this project on each other wasn't such a good idea…"

"Harry… what?"

"I mean," began Harry in a falsely cheerful voice, "there are so many more interesting topics out there… who really wants to learn about me?"

Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, Lily knew Harry was up to something and she was going to find out what.

As Harry was walking Lily home he was bombarded with questions. Stubbornly not saying anything, this only spurred Lily on more.

Finally, in a manner quite unlike himself, Harry snapped.

"Fine, Lily! You want to know so badly, I'll tell you. I was born here in England and I think I was quite happy for the first year of my life. Then my parents die in a car crash, or so I was told. Years later I receive an anonymous letter saying that they were actually murdered. Then I get sent to my Aunt and Uncle's place; total change from what I remember I was used to. My name stopped being Harry; it turned to 'boy' or 'freak'. So just when I thought I was getting used to that my Aunt dies too. So me and my brat cousin are stuck with my uncle and even my cousin snaps after a while. He ran away from home when we were five leaving me no choice but to stay with my uncle. Oh yeah, did I mention. He has a nasty temper and four fucking friends who always seem to want to rip the clothes off me! Oh but you wouldn't know all of that would you? Nope, you just live there in your dreamy little world. You have no idea of what really goes on do you!" he finished yelling before walking off in a rage.

"Harry… I…" began Lily but not knowing what else to do, she broke down and ran into her house.

Lunchtime the next day seemed to come quicker than normal and since it was a rainy day again, they would be stuck inside.

Harry and Lily had been avoiding each other all day but as both loved going to the library on a cold and rainy lunchtime, they decided to go but sit in different places.

All was going fine, Harry was reading in the same little corner he used to when he was little and Lily was nowhere in sight.

Once again not hearing any approaching footsteps, Harry was shocked to find someone tapping his arm. Looking up into the face of Lily, Harry was hit with the déjà vu of the time they first talked.

Sighing, Harry knew they would have to talk at some time; he just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Lily," Harry began quietly, "look, I know I overreacted a bit yesterday. I'm sorry I yelled at you. You didn't deserve that."

"No Harry, I'm sorry. I should have realised you didn't want to talk about it. It was my fault. But anyway, that wasn't what I came here for."

"It wasn't?" said Harry, surprise evident on his face.

"No, actually I wanted to give you this…" she said, suddenly feeling quite shy.

Harry took the little package from her hands with confusion etched into his face.

"Lils, you didn't ha…"

"Happy Birthday Harry!" said Lily, laughing at the look of utter shock on Harry's face before taking out a camera from her bag and clicking it.

"My birthday… I'd… forgotten! How'd you know?" said Harry when he had regained his voice.

"You mentioned it once in passing and I knew you'd never mention it again so I wrote it down in my diary. Well, what are you waiting for? Open it!" she urged.

Slowing unfolding the delicate wrapping Harry pulled out a tiny box and a little bottle of what seemed to be some gel. Not wanting to be rude but not knowing what it was, Harry deemed it safer not to say anything.

"So do you like it?" asked Lily with a worried face.

"Erm… Lils, what is it?"

"Oh! Harry… they're contacts. You know how you're always complaining that glasses are a pain in the arse and how they keep breaking! So I got you some clear contacts. I even went to your optometrist to get them so he recommended the best ones for your eyes!"

"Oh!" laughed Harry, suddenly feeling very silly. "Thanks so much Lils, I love it!"

Getting up from his position Harry gathered Lily in a giant hug. As Harry didn't normally hug anyone, this was a new experience for Lily but she quickly hugged back. And they stayed that way for the rest of their lunch break; their fight from yesterday forgotten and their happiness of the moment the only thing in their minds.

A/N: Yes I know this wasn't the best chapter I've ever written… it was sort of a spur of the moment thing. Anyway, please review. Oh and no flames! You can give me constructive criticism if you want but I'm gonna ignore any flames.

Please Review!
