Tiger's Heart, you are most definately our number one fan... and might we add our only fan at the moment. Yes you really should read the rest of our work. Especially Womanofthepast's. I just adore her work.

Why thank you Mystic. Well Tiger's Heart- thing is we are both in college and are doing this to take our minds off of studying sometimes. We needed something that wouldn't kill us. Studying is brutual! But from two college students to another, we wish you luck and encourage you to read when you have time to give your mind a tiny vacation.

Woman is right, take all the breaks you need! ;-D And advertise us if you feel like it. It would be awesome!

P.S. We didn't get your email address, unfortunately:-(

Chapter 3

"I swear if Potter doesn't stop he's going to end up a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick!" Lily exclaimed angrily as she and her friends, Alice, Nancy, and Hestia walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Alice chuckled.

"What did that rotten scoundrel do to you this time?" Alice asked her.

"He kissed me," Lily said flatly. The girls stopped and gasped.

"He didn't!" Alice exclaimed. Lily nodded.

"Oh my gosh!" Nancy and Hestia exclaimed excitedly.

"It isn't exciting. It was horrifying!" Lily exclaimed in exhaustion. They smiled at each other and started giggling.

"You liked it Lily," Hestia pointed out. Lily looked at her, an eyebrow raised.

"How could you think that?" Lily asked her in shock. Hestia shrugged.

"Because it was bound to happen, Lily," Hestia answered. Lily's jaw dropped and she whipped away from her friend. Alice's hand pulled her around.

"Oh come on, Lily you know how we think and feel about this subject. Don't act so badly about it. We're your friends and we'll shun James for you if you wish," Alice said softly. Lily sighed.

"Shunning Potter would be a grand idea, Alice. Thank you," Lily said. Alice nodded and sighed inwardly. It reminded her so much of their first year.

"He told everyone that I was his girlfriend!" Lily's shrill voice exclaimed angrily. They were sitting outside underneath the oak tree, just trying to enjoy the rest of the sunlit day.

"Well, maybe he wishes it was true," Hestia suggested. Lily shook his head.

"No he did it for spite," she argued, tossing her red curls over her shoulder.

"What do you mean for spite?" Alice asked as she smoothed a wrinkle from her skirt.

"Because he's Potter! Do I need more of a reason?" Lily demanded. Alice looked at her and shook her head.

"Oh Lily. Yes you need more of a reason than that," Alice responded. Lily sighed and rolled her eyes.

"He's just so arrogant and jerky. He's the worst prat I have ever met. Why can't he just leave me alone?" Lily asked as she placed her face in her hands. Nancy placed a hand upon Lily's back.

"Because he is your one and only."

"Dang, we partied so hard last night!" Sirius exclaimed as he slammed himself into his regular seat. The girls were already sitting in their usual seats, eating daintly as they always did. He slid over to Nancy and gave her a wink. She blushed wildly.

"Hey there pretty baby. How are you on this glorious morn?" He asked her. She swallowed the piece of toast that she had in her mouth and smiled.

"I am doing just fine on this glorious morn. How hard did you party, Sirius?" She asked. He stretched and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

"Pretty damn hard," he said. She rolled her eyes and moved away.

"We didn't party hard, Sirius. I don't know where you get such things," Remus said as he buttered his toast in precise movements. Sirius sighed and rolled his gray eyes.

"Yeah that's because of Remus. He insisted we get some sleep. Goodie goodie!" Sirius said. He tossed a waded up napkin at Remus, who caught it with ease.

"Aw... I like it when it hits your face," Sirius whined.

"And I like it when you act mature," Remus countered. Sirius gave him a mock shocked look.

"Mature? What... I'm always mature!" He protested. James fell into his seat and gave a hearty laugh.

"Damn that was one hell of a party. Wish a certain someone would have joined us though," James said, as he rubbed his foot against Lily's leg. She looked up, her emerald eyes flared and connected with James' blue ones. She narrowed her eyes.

"You have a second to take your foot away from my leg, Potter or you're going to wish to hell that you had never messed with me," she warned. James laughed as he raised his leg further up her leg. It was against his better judgement, but he had done it anyway. Her leg instantly connected with a certain spot, causing James' eyes to grow as large as apples. He made a high pitched screeching sound before he fell backwards out of his chair. Lily got up and full body bined him before leaving the room.

Sirius, on the other hand, was having a glorious time laughing his butt off. Remus, however, was thinking of a moment several years ago.

James had done it now. He had touched Lily without her permission for the second time within the span of two minutes. Lily was trying to be calm, tried to get him to stop, but Remus knew that it wasn't going to end nicely. James touched her again, grabbing her around the waist. Lily spun around and connected immediately with James' nose. Blood started to pour down his face.

"Leave me alone. I swear to you, if you try anything more you're going to experience a pain that you have never experienced before," she threatened before heading up to the Gryffindor girl's dorm.

"I'll keep that in mind!" James yelled at her.

"She did warn you, James," Remus said admist his chuckling. All James could do was lay there. Professor McGonagall rushed over to him.

"What happened here?" She asked the laughing group of students.

"He was trying to play footsie with Lily. Lily gave him a warning which he did not heed and well, this is what happened," Alice said, gesturing to him. Professor McGonagall shook her head and took the spell off of James.

"Next time, perhaps you should just leave Ms. Evans alone, Mr. Potter," she advised before walking away. James grunted in reply as he tried to get up off the ground.

"Yeah, McGonagall is right James. Don't you ever learn?" Remus asked as he helped his friend up off the floor. James threw him a deadly glare.

"Why in the hell must she be the only girl in school that I love?" He asked as he sat down finally in his seat. Sirius patted him on the back.

"It's because you are sick in the head. Hey, can I have your broom if you die?" He asked him eagerly. James rolled his eyes.

"Sure, Sirius. You get my broom," he replied. Sirius smiled and dug into his food. Alice cleared her throat.

"You know James, it isn't what you think. She likes you, that we know. We're her friends and we have told you that time and time again. But you are going about wooing her heart all wrong, as you have been for the last seven years. This is your last chance to earn her love. You have stop acting like a prat when she is around," Alice said.

"Alice is right. You are never going to get her to fall in love with you if you keep doing all that stuff to her. You need to be gentle, to be kind, and to stop acting like an arrogant prat. You need to learn that you may want to do those things to her, but it will never mean a thing if she doesn't reciprocate those feelings. Woo her first, the rest will follow," Nancy advised. James sighed deeply.

"I just want her to love me, for once. Can you help me? Can you teach me to be less arrogant?" James asked. The girls looked at each other and nodded amongst themselves.

"Yes James, we'll help you," Hestia said. James smiled at them gratefully.
