A/N: the characters aren't really doing these things. It's the character they are playing in the school play. Recap: JamesLanden, LilyJamie, JulieAshley, AliceJessica, SiriusMatt, and RemusEric. Just so ya know..it will change from the movie because God is not involved seeing as they're witches and wizards.

The play started at ten in the morning. Everyone stood by the lake, watching the first scene.

James led Peter up the ladder.

"Is this safe?"

"Yeah. We've all done it. On the count of three."

The boys lowered themselves.

"One…two…three…"

Peter jumped off the board into the lake.

"Landen, he's hurt!" Alice yelled up to him.

"Shit!"

James climbed down the ladder and into the water where Peter floated. He grabbed him around the arms and drug him to the shore. Everyone else left.

A security guard pulled his light and called for backup. James ran.

"What'd you tell 'em?" Sirius asked James the next day.

"Just that it was a mistake and that I was out for a drive."

"Yeah. You are the master of bullshit."

They high-fived as Lily walked passed, carrying her stars and planets stuff.

"Wow, Jamie Sullivan has style." Julie said sarcastically.

"Nice sweater." Sirius said sarcastically, pointing to her green sweater.

"Thank you." Lily recited perfectly.

The group laughed.

"Landen, a student says you were drinking on campus on Saturday. Lucky for you, Clay isn't talking." Professor Dumbledore said, as the principal.

"What are you gonna do? Expel me?" James asked.

"Not yet. But I will give you proper punishment. You will help the janitorial staff…"

"For pay."

"For the fun of it. You will tutor kids at our sister school on Saturday and you will take part in the Drama club's final piece of work."

"The Spring play?"

Dumbledore nodded.

James went to tutor the kids to no avail. Lily sat next to him on the bus on the way home.

"Are you going to visit Clay?"

James didn't answer as he listened to his music.

"That's a no."

James turned.

"Is this your idea of small talk? If it is, it's not working."

Lily shrugged.

"No one forced him to jump."

"It's called peer pressure."

"What do you know about that?"

"Please don't pretend like you know me."

"Oh, but I do. We've had all the same classes since kindergarten. You sit at lunch table number seven which isn't exactly the reject table but close to it. How's that sound?"

"Predictable. Nothing I haven't heard."

She got up and walked back over to her seat.

At school, James approached her.

"What do you want Landen? I've known you for years. You've never been the first to come say hi."

"I need help with my lines."

"Oh."

She walked away.

"No, Jamie."

"You've obviously never asked anyone for help."

"Please?"

"Okay. But under one thing."

"What?"

"You have to promise you won't fall in love me."

"That won't be hard." He said. In reality, James's mind was screaming, I love you!

She helped him with lines everyday after school.

"See you after school, then, Landen?" she said, coming up to Landen with his group.

"In your dreams." He replied as cover.

She walked off, hurt, and he tried to smile with his friends.

"So, we can be like secret friends?" Lily said when he talked to her after school.

"Yeah. It's like your reading my mind."

"I don't like Legilimency. But, maybe you can read mine."

She slammed the door and walked away.

"Damn it!" he yelled.

Her father came out.

"Sorry." He said.

Now, it was time for the played play.

Jenette pushed his shoulder. She looked at the girl who had just entered.

"You're the new girl he's hired? The singer? Let me give you some advice on him. Stay away."

And she walked off.

The set was cleared and everyone was off except for James and Lily.

Lily undid her cloak and underneath was wearing a beautiful green dress, matching her eyes perfectly.

"Tell me about this dream girl. Do you know of anything?"

James just stared at her.

"I know I love you."

People stared.

"The dream. Maybe you can help me remember. Sing for me?"

Lily smiled and stood.

"There's a song in my heart. It's the one I've tried to write over and over again.

James stared at her beautiful form.

"So I lay my head back down. To be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I know now you're my only hope."

James kept staring. His mind was racing. Her voice was beautiful. Her dress swayed as she moved across the floor. To him, she was floating. The lights ran over her, making her look beautiful.

Her red hair was crimped and fell down her shoulders. Her green dress was modest. It had a v-neck in the front and a large bow in back.

"So I lay my head back down."

She was on the final verse of the song.

"To be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I pray to be only yours. I know now, you're my only hope."

She sat and looked at him.

"ooooooo."

He leaned in and his lips met hers in a kiss. They pulled away and she looked at him, surprised.

The curtain fell.

They walked along the dock, after he gave her her tattoo. She smiled as she faced the body of water.

"It's like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it."

"What do you feel?"

"I feel friendship, compassion, love."

She turned and went to him. He kissed her.

"I love you."

"I told you not to fall in love with me."

They kissed again.

He drove back home, crying. He was worried about her. She was sick with cancer. Why hadn't she told him earlier?

"Tell me about it." Sirius said to James as they sat by the lake

"What?"

"You and Jamie."

"She's the best person I've ever known."

He built her telescope on her balcony and danced with her. This was it.

She came out and looked through it, happy.

"Do you love me?" James asked, in his character but serious.

"Yes." Lily replied truthfully.

"Then will you do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Will you marry me?"

Lily nodded and smiled. "Yes." he slipped the gold ring on her finger.

This was real even if they were acting.

The setting was a church. Her father delievered the blessing and they were married.

The play ended. Everyone clapped and the actors bowed.

They went backstage.

"Do you love me?"

"Yes." Lily said. "You're serious?"

James nodded.

Lily jumped on him and he picked her up and twirled her.

"Everyone, please come to the front." Professor McGonagall called

The actors and actresses came forward and bowed once more before exiting to their dorms.

So, it was a play, but love did bloom.
