A/N: Hey! Chapter Fifteen! Wow, thanks so much to all your reviews! I really want to thank Tamzi for beta-ing my chapter, she will be from now on!

Enjoy!

Lily was seething, Claudia, one of her best friends, was seeing James! How dare she? She needed someone to talk to; this was out of her hands. She was so . . . she couldn't even describe it.

Although, why was she so angry? She was meant to hate James Potter, and now she was the angriest she had ever been because of him. This did not make sense; it was too weird.

She was going to talk to Hannah, she would know what to do, after all her relationship with Remus had been going smoothly for ages, she could really do with some advice from her.

'Hannah, I'm angry with Claudia for dating James,' Lily said immediately when they sat down in the Common Room.

'Sorry, I thought you just said something along the lines of being angry with Claudia, for dating James,' Hannah laughed.

'I did,' Lily said quietly. 'I think I like him.'

'Oh,' was all Hannah could manage to say, she looked at Lily, she didn't look like she was lying or playing some sick joke. 'How come?'

'Well, he's been really nice to me and stuff lately and then we kissed a few weeks ago and nothing happened between us so I didn't really think about it. Then I found out he was dating one of my best friends!'

Hannah was silent for a while, 'you should have told us.'

'I know,' Lily cried, 'my life is so screwed!'

Hannah smiled sympathetically, 'your life isn't screwed because of one guy,' she laughed.

Lily looked up at Hannah, 'really? You don't think so?'

'No,' Hannah said reassuringly, 'I think we should find you a date.'

'Good idea,' she said standing up, she sat down just as fast, 'how are we going to do that?'

Hannah thought for a while, 'why don't you date one of his friends?'

'Like who?' Lily said, wiping away a tear from her face.

'Sirius ("Emma's ex"), Remus ("You're dating him, Hannah!"), Peter ("Hannah!"), someone from Quidditch ("Yeah, like who?") – the Hufflepuff Captain is free.'

'Good idea, so now what, I just go ask him out?' Lily asked her; so far her help had been really good.

'This is your problem, start off with a smile every time you walk past him, then talk to him sometimes and then finally, ask him out,' Hannah planned the whole thing out.

Lily hugged Hannah and thanked her; 'I have to go to class now, thanks again Hannah!'

James and Sirius were playing exploding snap when Lily got back from class in the afternoon. Peter was highly involved into talking to Isy about a book he had just read, Remus and Hannah were doing there homework together and Emma was reading a magazine quiz on "which celebrity is your soul mate?"

'Hey guys! Hannah, guess what?' she said rushing over to Hannah and knocking over Remus while doing so.

'Laurie said yes?' Hannah guessed. Laurie Williams was the Hufflepuff Captain who Lily wanted to ask out to get back at James. He had orange hair and lots of freckles; he was really cute from Lily's point of view and most girls view for that matter.

'Yes!' she said happily, jumping up and down, 'I'm dating Laurie!'

James stood up suddenly, knocking over the game, which annoyed Sirius greatly. 'You're dating Laurie Williams, my good friend?' he said. James was good friends with Laurie, even thought they were on opposing teams. What brought them together was their determination to beat Slytherin one day.

Lily stopped and smirked at him, 'you're dating Claudia, my good friend?'

James looked at her silently, 'that's what this is about? You're getting back at me?'

The smirked was wiped off Lily's face in an instant, 'what?' she acted surprised he would even say that. 'I really like Laurie. And he likes me, why would he ask me out otherwise?'

'He asked you?' James said, stepping closer to her.

'Yes as a matter of fact. Now if you don't mind I would like to get some homework done. This homework isn't going to do itself.

Emma stood up suddenly, 'I love this magazine! It said my celebrity soul mate is George Harrison!' she shouted happily.

'Your soul mate is one of the Beatles?' Lily asked, laughing.

'Who are the Beatles?' James asked. Because he was a pure blood he didn't know about muggle music, and did not know what the Beatles were. Emma, who was also a pureblood, knew who they were through the magazines Lily gave her each week.

'They are the biggest thing at the moment in the muggle world,' Emma told him, smiling.

'Oh, you mean muggle music?' Sirius said.

'Yeah, have you heard of them?' she asked him politely.

'They're one of my favourite bands. Who is your favourite?' said Sirius, he moved over to the chair next to her so they could keep talking.

'Well, I like George Harrison the best, then Ringo and then Paul, I don't really like Lennon that much,' she told him.

'Mine's the same except Ringo and George are the other way around,' he said. 'What's your favourite song?'

'I love "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" by George,' she said, moving closer to him, so they could continue their conversation in a bit more privacy.

'I love "Yellow Submarine", it's so funny to listen to,' he laughed.

'How do you know all this stuff?' she asked him, she was curious to know, it's not like any of his close friends would know any of this. James had been the one to ask who they were and Peter and Remus had confused looks on their faces when she told them.

'Actually, it's kind of funny. I knew you liked them when we were dating,' he started, 'and then I decided I should find out some things about who they are and stuff like that, and I never got the chance to use it, we broke up the week after.'

She sighed quietly, 'oh.'

'But none of that matters now,' he said getting up quickly and stretching. 'I'm going to get some food.'

Emma watched him walk out the door; she quietly got up and returned to her magazine, skipping over any article that had the Beatles in it.

'We will be working on Dark Sorcerer's this term,' said Professor Lucas.

The group was sitting in a row, listening to their History teacher quietly, no one wanted to make Professor Lucas angry, she got angry at the slightest mistake, so far no one had made her angry.

'For this terms project you will be in pairs and I will not have anyone asking if they can change partners, because that will not happen!' she shouted.

'Today we will be learning about Morgan le Fey and then I will put you with your partners. And to make sure you don't slack off, they are in boy/girl partnerships.'

Hannah glanced at Remus, praying she was with him; she would have to wait to find out though.

Professor Lucas pulled out a large textbook and opened to a dog-eared page. 'I want you to get out your books and take notes on what I read to you,' she ordered them.

They pulled out their parchment and quills in a hurry and waited for her to start.

'Known as Morgana, she was King Arthur's half sister, she was an Animagus and could turn into a form of a bird,' she read slowly and monotonously.

By the end of the lesson their pages were full of useless information about Morgan Le Fey and everyone was eager to find out their partners.

'I will read out your names and then your partner's name, ok?' she said, waving her wand to find the piece of parchment with the name on it.

'George Anstee and Emma Greene.'

Emma looked over to the new boy who had just come from Durmstrang last week and smiled at him. He had black hair and gorgeous light blue eyes. She loved the fact his name was the same as George Harrison's. He smiled back at her and she thought she would fall over if she tried to stand up. Sirius watched her and rolled his eyes in disgust, why couldn't she be his partner?

'Sirius Black and Chelsea Abbot.'

Sirius groaned loudly, why did he have to get the weird girl? Their whole family was weird; the best one of them was Dave Abbot, who was in Hufflepuff. He was dating someone called Veronica or something. He looked over at Chelsea and she waved excitedly at him, he just groaned louder.

'Lily Evans and James Potter.'

James' face lit up slightly, although he knew he was meant to be angry with her for dating one of his good friends.

Lily couldn't help smiling a bit, but it soon went away when she realised just how much time she would be spending with him.

A few names went and there was a cheer or a groan every now and again.

'Hannah Climie and Sam Cash.'

Hannah scowled; she did not want to be partnered with a Slytherin for this project. She knew she would have to do all the work; he would be out with his latest girlfriend.

Sam Cash was the equivalent to Sirius or James in the Slytherin house and some girls who were in Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had dated him, but only for a short while because he was using them.

'Isy McKenzie and Remus Lupin.'

Hannah frowned; Isy got her boyfriend while she was stuck with some player who was in Slytherin.

Isy giggled and waved at Remus, he waved back mouthing "how cool is this going to be?"

After everyone else's name was called out they singled out to lunch, getting ready to talk trash and delight on their partner.

'I can't believe you got Sam!' Isy said loudly to Hannah.

'I can't believe you got Remus,' Hannah muttered.

'I got the worse person,' Lily said angrily to them.

They all laughed, 'you did not!'

'I got the best. He's in Ravenclaw which means he'll do some of the work and he's hot,' Emma said, not realising he was standing behind her.

'Thank you,' he said quietly.

She gasped, 'hi.'

'I just came over to tell you we should get started on our project straight away, we could meet in the library tonight if you wanted?' he said.

'Sure,' she said smiling broadly, happy that he didn't make a big thing about saying he was hot.

'Seven?'

'Seven,' she repeated. 'Great.'

'See you then,' he said and walked off quickly, trying to hide his smile from her.

The girls burst out laughing, 'what a great first impression you made on him!'

'Be quiet, it doesn't matter anyway, I like being single.'

James nearly fell over, 'Emma, like being single?'

She ignored this comment and started to talk to Hannah about how slack it was that she got Sam.

Isy, who had no one to talk to because Lily was fighting with Sirius about his table manners, started to talk to Remus about their project.

'We should meet up in the library too,' he said to her.

'Yeah,' she agreed, 'should we go with Emma and George so she doesn't make a fool of herself?'

'That's a good idea. Hitting two birds with the same stone, or something like that,' he said.

She laughed and ate the rest of her lunch in silence while listening to Hannah whine.
