A/N: HEY PEOPLE! Thanks for the reviews, it's a wonderful welcome back! BTW, I'm working on a Harry/Luna fanfiction following Half-Blood Prince. So look out for it lol. I just hope whoever reads my fanfiction has already read Half-Blood Prince otherwise it will be an awkward read. I'm just trying to figure out how to begin it. Anyway...Chappie 8!

Lily couldn't sleep that night at all. Her dreams were swirled with Remus and James. Them fighting over her and their friendship ending because of the kiss. What bothered her more was her suspicion about Sirius knowing about her moment with James. Did James tell Sirius? Or worse, did he see? Would Sirius tell Remus? Lily didn't know and it bothered her all through the next day. She jumped at everything, feeling paranoid about Sirius. James wasn't talking to her anymore. He didn't look at her, he pretty much gave off the impression that she didn't exist to him anymore. Remus, however, was quiet. Quieter than usual. He didn't talk to Lily as much during their patrols together and he wasn't as boyfriend-like with her when they were alone. There was still the issue of James' homework, so Lily decided to ask Peter Pettigrew to do it.

"Hey Peter." Lily said kindly as she sat across from him in the library.

"Hello Lily." Peter said quietly, as he raised his small head to look at her.

"I need you to do something for me." Lily said slowly as she took James' homework from her bag. "Can you give this to James?"

"Um...sure" Peter replied curiously. "That's his Divination homework, isn't it?"

"Yeah. I haven't seen him in a while and I know you're his friend so I figured you could give it to him for me."

Peter cocked an eyebrow unconvinced. "Lily, he sits behind you in all the classes, you have together. How could you say you haven't seen him?"

"Well..." Lily trailed off, but felt she couldn't hide it from Peter. He already suspected something was up. "All right, I give up. Peter, I just don't want to talk to him or see him. Could you just do this for me, please?"

Peter smiled and nodded at Lily as he picked up James' homework and put it in his own bag.

Lily was about to get up when she saw Remus walk in with Sirius. She walked over to where they were sitting, but stopped when she heard about what they were talking about. She ducked behind a bookshelf and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"So have you talked to her about it?" Sirius asked quietly as he opened his Advanced Potions book. "Has she even said anything about it to you."

"Of course not." Remus replied calmly. "Why would she? It's not exactly easy for someone to admit to that openly."

"You know, she asked me to give James his Divination homework. I was like 'no way'. That's pretty bold to ask me to do that, when she's the one in trouble. Are you still James' friend?"

"Of course I am. We've been friends for way too long and I know he likes Lily a lot. I think he may even love her, so it seems as though this was bound to happen at some point. I know he's been after her since Year One, but I like Lily too."

Sirius nodded understandingly. "Do you still want to break up with her?"

"Yeah." Remus said sadly. "I don't want to, but I must. Because as long as James and Lily are thinking about each other, I don't want to be in the middle. They really do belong together."

"When are you going to do it?"

"Tonight. I asked her to meet me in the prefect's room after-"

"You're breaking up with me?" Lily said shocked as she stepped out from behind the bookshelf, surprising both Remus and Sirius.

"Lily? How long have you been standing there?" Remus asked curiously, ignoring Lily's question.

"It doesn't matter. You're breaking up with me?"

"Yes I am." Remus said calmly. "I know what happened between you and James. I was standing right there with Sirius when you kissed James."

"Why didn't you tell me? You were leading me on?"

"No I wasn't." Remus turned to Sirius who was staring wide-eyed at Lily. "Padfoot? Could you give us a minute or two please?"

"What?" Sirius said snapped out his moment of shock. "Oh...yeah. Yeah. I'll see you in the common room."

Remus turned back to Lily, who was trying to hold back her tears. "Lily...how can you say I was leading you on when you kept that from me?"

"You knew. Why didn't you say anything?" Lily demanded, her voice cracking slightly.

"If I had said something then it would have been just as easy for you to deny it and say nothing happened. I'm not stupid you know. I didn't do anything here. You should have said something to me."

"Why did you go out with me in the first place, if you knew I had feelings for James?"

"Well you certainly didn't act like you liked James and I said I knew James liked you. Do you like him?"

Lily blushed furiously and Remus understood.

"I see." He said finally. "Then you need to tell him that. You and I can still be friends, of course."

Lily nodded and cried silently as Remus gave us one last hug and kiss before picking up his books and walking away from Lily.

Lily stared at the door for what seemed like forever. She couldn't believe how fast things were changing. All this over a bet between her and James. She curled her fists in anger and went to find James.

She walked around the school twice before seeing him standing in front of the Great Hall talking to Celeste Nightingale, a 6th year Ravenclaw who was fond of James like most girls at Hogwarts.

"JAMES POTTER!" Lily yelled at the top of her lungs, making James, Celeste and everyone else in that area turn to watch Lily. She stomped all the way over to him in a rage with her wand at the ready.

"Lily?" James asked cautiously as he backed up slowly away from Lily who pointed her wand at him like a psycho.

"I HATE YOU!" She screamed and dropped her wand before falling into James' arms sobbing terribly.

James stood there in shock and held Lily. "I know." He replied softly.

"I hate you..." Lily said quietly and cried into James' chest.

A/N: Well it seems as though Lily is determined not to like James...But was that all about with the collapsing in his chest in tears and claiming to 'hate' him? Hmm...guess we'll see next chapter! (I know this is short, but I'm having a little writer's block!)
