A.N: Wow…it has been aaages since I last updated! Sorry bout that…I will try to update quicker, but honestly…schoolwork, is absolutely awful! And now we have tests…ah well…on with the story!

I've just found out that we're staying at James' villa for dinner. The boys are playing tennis in James' tennis court- is there anything this boy doesn't have?- and I'm sitting on the wall, watching and writing.

Every now and again Sirius gets James out-, which isn't very often, they're both very good, though I've got no idea where they learnt to play it- and shouts, "And the crowd goes wild!" And raises his hands in the air as if he's receiving a huge round of applause. Everything goes silent every time he does this.

On one occasion James laughed outright and Sirius started to sulk, causing James to win the match 10-9. Then he shouted, "And the crowd goes wild!" and winked at me, which meant, cheer-for-me-to-make-Sirius-even madder.

So I did. - My heart giving a little flutter when he winked at me, which my mind immediately quashed.

And he got madder.

So mad in fact, that he flung his racket on the floor, cursing both of us and stalked off to his room. Which James is now trying to convince him to come out of.

It failed, James came back looking annoyed and sat next to me on the wall.

"Hopeless…absolutely hopeless…" James sighed. I giggled, "Did you tell him it was a joke?" He gave me an exasperated look, "Yes! And now he's ignoring me." He put his head in his hands.

"Just leave him for a bit," I said, "He needs time by himself." James grinned at me and snaked his arm around my waist, "Is this an excuse to get me alone Lily? OW!"

I removed his arm and hit him in the chest, playfully enough, but he still pretended it hurt- I would call him a Drama Queen but that's Sirius- He muttered something that sounded like, "Women," and turned to stare at the view that was behind the villa.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked, turning the same way and looking at the golden ball that was slowly setting in the orange-pink sky. "Yeah it is," he answered. Then I realised he was looking at me when he said it, not the sky. I blushed and turned away from him again.

It was strange- very strange if we're talking about Potter- but my heart rate suddenly went up by 110 percentand I just had to get away from him. So I jumped off the wall and went inside the villa, not really knowing where I was going.

James caught up with me, "Hey Lily! Stop!" I felt a hand on my shoulder and my whole body tingled, but I didn't turn around, "I…just thought to…send a letter to Alice," I said, saying the first thing that came into my head, "Do you think I could borrow Otto to send one?"

"Sure Lily, are you sure you're alright?" His voice sounded worried, and I could picture the small frown that would be on his face. "Yeah," I replied, still forcing myself not to face him. "Ok Lily," his voice sounded a bit happier, "I'll try to talk Sirius into coning back inside." His hand left my shoulder, and it wasn't until I heard his footsteps disappear that I turned around and let out a huge sigh.

I hadn't really thought of writing to my best friend, but now it seemed like a good idea. I grabbed some parchment and a quill and began to write:

Alice,

How's the summer been? I'm on holiday as you know, but I'm facing a bit of a predicament. There's this boy here that I think I like, and who I think likes me back. But I just don't know what to do! I need your advice! I know if you were here you'd ask why I think I like him, so…here you are:

Quick heart rate while I'm with him.

Blushing whenever he compliments me.

I can't be alone with him for too long.

Every time he touches me, e.g. holding my hand, I shiver.

Please help Alice!

Urgently,

Lily

I gave the letter to James' owl and hoped I'd get a reply soon. Alice may be my best friend, but she's one of the biggest gossips in the school, and if I told her that I think I liked James, she'd go crazy! - As I'm sure I've told you before.

I went back outside and sat on the wall again. The boys joined me a little while later, laughing and joking. I still felt uneasy being around James but Sirius being there lightened the mood.

Especially when they decided to pick me up off the wall and throw me into the pool, despite me screaming at them to let me go.

Now I can't get the smell of chlorine out of my hair.

I've also decided to list the things I find out every time I write in here. So, here are the things I've found out today.

Never agree to swim with boys, especially if they are Marauders.

Talking loudly about Hogwarts in front of Petunia is the best way to get her annoyed.

Always try to take your best friend with you on holiday, so you don't have to wait ages to know how she feels about certain situations.

Sirius sulks for a long time.

The wizarding world should find a quicker method of communication than owl post.

I don't know if we're meeting up again soon, but I do hope Alice gets my letter and replies, before I do something exceedingly stupid. - And very un-Lilyish as my friends would say.

A.N: There we go! Another chapter posted. Now, all you need to do is review! Please?
