A/N: Hey all...sorry for the long delay lol. School started and you know how that goes lol... For the person who asked what happened to Remus: that's a good question lol. He's one of my favorites so I don't understand why I haven't really given that much of a part. He's in this chapter though helping Sirius so you know lol. Anyway here's Chappie 11...
"She's in Hufflepuff?" Remus asked slowly as he watched Sirius write 'MK' in a heart on some parchment. "What's her name again?"
"Miliani Kailani." Sirius said dreamily. "She looked so beautiful. Moony, I was blown away by her."
"You don't say." Remus added jokingly. "Do you think she's related to the Hufflepuff keeper?"
"Probably. Kailani isn't exactly a common surname."
"Are you going to ask her out?"
Sirius dropped his quill and stared at Remus like he had insulted him. "Moony, are you completely mad? I can't ask her out."
"Why? You like her, don't you?" Remus asked curiously.
"No. I think I love her."
Remus chuckled to himself and patted Sirius on the back comfortingly. "Don't you think that's taking it a bit too far?"
"I don't know. I just know she's special...so special that I would like to take the time to get to know her first." Sirius said quietly.
"So this isn't going to be one of your-"
"Hello again." A voice said behind Sirius, cutting Remus off. "Thanks for being a gentleman and helping me up when we ran into each other."
Sirius turned around to come face to face with the alleged girl of his dreams, Miliani. To him, she looked as beautiful as ever in her--
"Quidditch uniform?" Sirius asked in a surprised tone, as he exchanged confused looks with Remus. "You play Quidditch?"
"Yeah." Miliani replied coolly as she sat down across from Sirius and Remus. "Who's your friend?"
"I'm Remus." Remus said kindly as he held out his hand and shook Miliani's. "You must be Miliani."
"You've heard about me?" Miliani asked jokingly. "I thought you knew that I played Quidditch, Sirius?"
Sirius snapped out of his trance and looked at Miliani. "I thought that was your brother."
Miliani laughed sweetly. "I don't have a brother, silly. I'm the Hufflepuff keeper, unless you know a boy with the same last name and an equally long braid."
Sirius blushed furiously, while Remus laughed with Miliani.
"Well I better go. I don't want to anger the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain. I'll see you around, boys." Miliani said with a sigh as she got up to leave.
"Oh Miliani!" Remus said suddenly. "We're having a masquerade party tomorrow night at nine in the dungeons. Would you like to come with us?"
"Oh cool!" Miliani replied excitedly. "I'd love to go. I guess I'll see you there then."
Miliani waved at Remus and Sirius before leaving the Great Hall.
"She's nice." Remus said quietly as he watched Miliani go. "I guess you'll have a chance to get to know her at the party tomorrow."
"I hope she's a party girl, though. I have no chance with her if she isn't the least bit of a wild child." Sirius said to himself, before going back to doodle on the parchment.

James stared out of the window in the common room sorrowfully. He couldn't get Lily out of his head. He hated to admit it but he did miss her, so much that everything he stared at for too long turned into her. He even wanted to go back to when Lily hated him. He knew that it would mean Lily insulting him whenever he said 'hello', but at least she was talking to him. Peter suggested that he should get over her and date someone else, but he couldn't. He could try it out, but James knew that he would end up thinking about Lily.
"Hey James."
James jumped slightly and turned around to see Kristen staring down at him curiously.
"What do you want?" James asked tonelessly as he turned around to stare outside the window.
"Cheer up James." Kristen said caringly as she put her hand on James' shoulder. "You'll get over Lily."
James shrugged off Kristen's hand and walked over to the fireplace. "Don't treat me like a sympathy case, Krissy."
"Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for helping Jennifer. We got into an argument over what happened between you and Lily and I felt guilty because if I hadn't helped Jennifer manipulate Lily then you two would probably still be together." Kristen said quietly as she approached James slowly. "We're not friends anymore just for the record."
James give Kristen a sideway glance and half smiled. "You didn't have to end your friendship over Lily and I."
"James, you know I like you right?" Kristen asked seductively. "I'd rather be your friend than Jennifer's."
James and Kristen were a lot closer now than the should have been. James couldn't help but stay where he was as Kristen moved closer to him. Had she moved any closer then they may have been kissing.
"Um..." James mumbled nervously.
"James?" Kristen whispered gently.
"What?"
"Nothing." Kristen moved closer and kissed James gently on the lip, as she pushed herself into him.
The kiss deepened as James and Kristen fell onto the sofa near the fireplace. Kristen moaned quietly as James pressed his body up against hers and kissed her neck. Kristen was attempting to undo James' shirt buttons when he leapt up and looked down at her in shock.
"What's wrong?" Kristen said quickly as she sat up.
"I just let you take advantage of me." James said slowly.
"So?"
"Krissy, what are you really up to?" James asked curiously as he sat on the table in front of the sofa where Kristen was trying to straighten her skirt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily sat down by a tree and rested her back against the trunk as she watched the sun set over the lake. Sirius Black had invited her to a party the next day. A party that James would more than likely be at. Lily dreaded having to be in the same room, since he clearly made it known to her that their short lived relationship was over. Lily sighed deeply and closed her eyes.
"Evans, we have beds for a reason." A voice said smugly behind Lily.
"What do you want Jennifer?" Lily said as she kept her eyes closed.
Jennifer smirked at Lily and sat down next to her. "I want to apologize."
Lily opened her eyes instantly and looked at Jennifer with surprise. "You want to apologize?"
"Yes." Jennifer said bluntly."
"To me?" Lily said in disbelief as she stood up and looked around.
"What are you doing?"
"Checking to make sure we're alone and that isn't some kind of joke."
"I'm not joking. I'm really sorry Lily." Jennifer said quietly. "Krissy and I got into a fight after you and James broke up, I felt really bad about it. So Krissy and I aren't exactly talking so I figured you and I could put aside our differences and become friends."
Lily eyed Jennifer suspiciously. There was something that didn't seem right. Why would Jennifer and Kristen fight over something they wanted to happen? It didn't make sense that they would stop being friends over something that they planned together and it wasn't like Jennifer to feel guilty about the things she did. Nevertheless, Lily nodded and agreed to be friends with Jennifer. After all she did need someone to talk to and Jennifer seemed to understand James better than anyone else.
As Jennifer and Lily walked back up the stairs toward the Gryffindor Tower, they had no idea what they would come to see as they entered the common room.
"Aurora Borealis." Jennifer said as the portrait of The Fat Lady swung open leading her and Lily into the common room.
"JAMES POTTER! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Lily yelled angrily as she watched James and Kristen get up off the sofa and separate instantly.
"Now Lily," James begin cautiously as he buttoned up his shirt. "Let me explain."
"Oh save it Potter!" Lily yelled as she put up her hand to silence James. "Jennifer was right about you. You are so typical sometimes, I don't even know why I like you half the time. I thought I made a mistake about breaking up with you, but I know what you're after and I'm not giving it to you. I hope you burn in hell James Potter."
"Wait Lily." James called after Lily as she ran up the stairs to the girls' common room.
"Don't talk to me!"
James sighed deeply and sat down on the sofa, he cursed quietly and rested his hands on his face. What he didn't notice was Jennifer and Kristen quietly giving each other a high five before leaving the common room.
How scandalous of Jennifer and Kristen. Obviously there will be some serious payback, but will there be any hope for James and Lily as a couple? Or will the newest couple be Sirius and Miliani? I'm also predicting a certain someone for Remus...or not. I might want him single lol. Anyway...this is a total cliffhanger and the rest goes down at the party which will probably last two or three chapters lol. Once I figure out what happens lol.
