"Wow!" Lily and Hannah breathed

"You like?" Sirius and Remus asked

"Hell yeah." They answered, "Where are we?"

"You'll see."

They walked in and the girls gasped.

"Oh my God!"

In the background they had Reflection playing

Look at me

You may think you see who I really am

But you'll never know me

Ev'ry day

It's as if I play a part

"Are we going to sit down or what?" Remus asked

Sirius and Remus pulled out two chairs and Hannah and Lily sat down.

"How long have you been planning this?" Hannah asked out of curiosity

"A while." Sirius answered

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

Sirius handed Lily a dozen red roses

"Oh Sirius." She whispered, and kissed him on the cheek. "They're beautiful!"

"Like you then." He grinned

She nodded

"One of my favourite songs." She whispered, "How did you get it?"

"Clare!"

"She knew about this?" Hannah and Lily asked "No wonder she was acting weird before."

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

"Will you dance with me?" Sirius asked Lily

"Sure."

They got up and danced slowly. Lily leant her head on his shoulder and Sirius starting whispering things in her ear.

"You want to dance?" Remus asked Hannah

"I thought you'd never ask." Hannah giggled

Remus led Hannah to dance and they were now dancing similarly to Sirius and Lily.

"Where is everyone?" Carolyn asked Clare

"Dates!" Clare answered, "Speaking of which, I have to go and see Paul, he says he wants to talk!"

Carolyn let out a small sigh

"Things that bad?"

Clare nodded

"I've hardly seen him, yesterday he said I put my friends before him!"

"Self conceited idiot." Carolyn muttered "Why risk your friends over a guy?"

Clare shrugged and answered

"You wouldn't!"

"Exactly!" Carolyn said, "Good luck anyway."

"Thanks."

Clare left the Common Room and headed for the Great Hall where Paul said he would meet her. She waited for a few minutes before he turned up.

"So what do you want then?" Clare asked

"We need to talk." Paul started

"Too right we do!" Clare retorted "After yesterday when you said I put my friends first!"

"But you do!" Paul said defensively, "I hardly ever see you anymore!"

Clare felt like hitting him.

"And when I do want to see you you're always hanging round with Snilvelly!" She fumed. "You know what Paul, you're not even worth me wasting my breath over, it's over!"

She stormed off, tears in her eyes. She felt pain like she had never felt, the pain of losing someone you love.

'Why is love so cruel?' She thought

-

James was sitting in the boy's dormitory, alone. Rachel wasn't talking to him and Remus and Sirius had gone to Hogsmeade. He didn't even know where Peter was, which was strange since he usually followed the three of them around like a lovesick puppy. Personally he enjoyed the peace but the downside was he had to live without Rachel for a week, whilst watching two of his best friends making out every five minutes.

James hated himself for it but he was jealous of two of his mates and he didn't know why, he had already accepted the fact that Lily would never go out with him and that she was, dare he say it, 'Sirius' girl', he had most of the girls in school after him and if they weren't after him then they were after James, but Sirius knew that he wanted Lily ever since 2nd year. He never would have asked her out if he hadn't become Head Boy and could no longer fight back his feelings for her.

Then you had Remus, who had only ever had one love in his life – Hannah. She had been his best friend before he had even met Sirius, Peter and himself. It wasn't even as if Remus had girls all over him, it was usually Sirius and himself that they went for, Remus was just 'the bookworm' or 'their friend', that's what people referred to him as. James had loved Hannah, and he had loved Lily, part of him still did but they were out of bounds, taken.

"I still can't believe you planned all this." Lily said in awe

"Why shouldn't I spoil my girlfriend?" Sirius asked

"And your sister." Lily added

"But that's Remus." Sirius pointed out "I just suggested a double date and agreed to help him plan it."

Lily smiled and Sirius planted a soft, sensual kiss on her lips.

-

"Are you sure that this is what you want?" Remus asked Hannah quietly

"I wouldn't have agreed to marry you if I didn't." Hannah stated

"I still don't get why you chose me over everyone else, you could have had any guy you wanted. Most guys have their tongues out when you, Lily, Clare and Carolyn walk past them." Remus said "And I was just a background guy, someone who no-one really paid any attention to, I'm a bookworm and not even an attractive one at that – "

Hannah put a finger to his lips and whispered.

"Because you understood me, you knew me inside out and, anyway who cares if you're a bookwork, you're my bookwork!"

Remus smiled

"But –"

"Remus?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up and kiss me."

He did as he was told and kissed her passionately.
