A/N: the only characters I own are the ones that you don't realize. And I know the lyrics may not go well with each chapter, but they go with the whole Lily and James stuff.

One boy, one girl.

Two hearts, their world.

Chapter 3: Realization?

After Lily and James held the meeting telling the job of the Prefects and everything else, after James had stared at her the whole time with a dazed look in his eyes, after getting their robes on and entering the castle and watching the first years get sorted and listening to Dumbledore give his speech, it was time for the Feast.

"Finally!" Sirius bellowed. "I'm starving!"

"You'd think no one ever bloody feeds him," Remus whispered into James's ear as James snorted.

They all watched Sirius as he shoveled all the food he could reach into his mouth without any distraction.

About an hour later after they had finished eating and had put their belongings into their dorms, the Marauders and the three girls were all seated in the common room. Obviously, James had tried to get as close as he could to Lily before she had demanded that he stay back at least 20 feet or she would 'blow his bloody brains out'. Sirius had managed at one point to pull Sam onto his lap, but she slapped his handsome face and left to go watch Remus and Jamie play Wizards Chess while Peter sat by and watched.

"Potter, I swear. Take another step closer to me and I'll hit you so hard that you'll have to go back and retake all your classes."

"Aww, come on Lily! I'm just trying to read over your shoulder. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"Actually there is. Your big fat pig-head is blocking my light!"

James ran his hand their his hair, "It's that big, eh Lily?" He had started to run his hand down her arms.

SMACK

Everyone who was unaware of what was going on between Lily and James, looked over to see James sitting there rubbing his cheek while Lily ran up the stairs to the girls dorm. It's not like this was a new thing, Lily smacking him and running up to the room, but it was now the 4th year James had been trying to win Lily's affection, but it had yet to work.

"Honestly James. Just give up. There's just no hope in you winning over her," Remus said in a monotone.

"I think not, Moony! The thrill of the chase excites me! She's all I want!" and with that, James bounded up the stairs to his room leaving the rest rolling their eyes.

"At least we'll never be like that, sweet cheeks," Sirius cooed seductively toward Sam. "Our love goes both ways."

"Go find one of your sluts, Black," she shot and ran up to the room where Lily was.

"Well, looks like I'm going too. 'Night, Remus." Jamie said shyly. "Oh, and you too, Sirius and Peter."

And she bolted up the stairs.

--

"Can you believe Potter! Who does he think he is? Can't he see that there is NO WAY IN HELL that'd I'd even consider being with him!"

"Alright Lily! You seriously need to calm down." Sam yelled from the bathroom.

"I agree. He really isn't that bad," Jamie threw in. "He's a great student, extremely good looking, an awesome athlete and he wants you! So what's wrong with getting together with him?"

"He's a pig-headed arse whose head has outgrown its' body! I would never consider being with any of it. He's out of his bloody mind, that's what he is! Arggh he makes me so mad!"

"Can't you just get past all of that? He does have my other good qualities, like Jay said before." Sam stated.

"Hey! Don't call me 'Jay'! That makes me gag, Saaaammiieee" she snapped.

And moments later, different objects began to fly across the room and they hadn't planned to stop until someone broke something of meaning.

--

"You know Prongs, you should just give this up," Sirius threw to the side while reading his magazine. "I know we're your best friends and we're looking out for you. Evans is just heart break."

"I agree." Peter supplied from his corner of the room.

'Course you do. Remus thought. "Yeah James. Sirius is right, for once. Just get over her. There are plenty of girls here that want you. No need for you to go after something you'll never get."

"You really think I'll never have a chance?"

"The smacking doesn't help, mate."

"Well, I can't just stop my feelings for her."

"Yes you can!" Sirius grinned. "Go down to breakfast tomorrow and forget all about what you can't have and see all the girls that are right in front of you!"

"You guys really think I should move on?" questioned James.

They all nodded.

James laid down on his bed and faced the wall. Maybe it would help if I just got rid of the though of her. What does she give me? Pain. Rejection. Humiliation. Sorrow. Who wants that? The guys are right. I need to move on, badly.

A/N: sorry it's kinda short, but I'm extremely tired from the concert yesterday still. REVIEW anyway cos that'd be rockin'.
