"Lily, you know you like James!" Sirius teased as Lily sat at the common room table doing Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.

"Sorry Sirius. But no I don't like Potter. He's big headed and arrogant! He bullies little kids! I mean it wasn't as bad when he was 11 or 12! But now he's 16! He should grow up a bit!" Lily said shutting her DADA book and putting her homework in her bag. It was a Sunday and they would resume classes the next day so the common room was empty, most of the kids being in the library.

"Then why did you all of a sudden care when James was attacked hmmm?" Sirius asked making his eyes really big.

"Because I was afraid he might be hurt and … and… I'm a prefect it's my duty to –," she was cut short by Sirius.

"To make sure all students are safe! Yada yada yada! We know Lily! But you just had to make sure he was safe! Not stay by his side until he woke up! All you had to do was make sure he got to the hospital wing okay!" Sirius said looking at Lily dead serious now. He didn't like it when someone messed with his best friend, especially James's heart.

"Look Sirius! I wouldn't of, had it been regular circumstances! But James was hit with an illegal curse! One that has killed many! So dangerous, Susie was expelled on the spot!" Lily said gathering her stuff, and started to head upstairs. She stopped at the foot of them. "I'm going to bed! It's late and you guys should to." She walked upstairs and went into the bathroom. There she sound proofed it with a simple silencing charm and curled into a ball and began to cry. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to cry. What is happening to me! Since when do I care about Potter! Maybe I do like him! No! No that's an insane reason I can't possibly like Potter! I mean, he's Potter! I can't possibly like him. There has to be some other explanation. Maybe I'm just stressed from school! Yeah that's it.

She got off the floor and washed her running mascara off. Then she washed her face and brushed her teeth. She took off the silencing charm and walked out into her quiet and dark dormitory. They musn't of gone to bed yet. But when she opened her curtains Cole, Jade and Joey flung themselves at her!

"Lily your charm sucked! We heard you crying!" Came the muffled voice of Cole.

"Yeah! What's wrong?" Jade asked getting out of the bear hug.

"Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all. I'm just fine, just a bit stressed…." Lily said, ignoring the looks she was getting from her friends.

"Lily! It's not like we're gonna tell anyone! We're your best friends!" Cole said. Throughout this whole thing Joey seemed to remain silent, with a know in her soft baby blue eyes.

"Nothings wrong guys! Now let's go to bed! Anyways our detentions start tomorrow!" Lily said shooing the girls off her bed, shut her curtains and got in, ignoring her friends protests. She heard them talking softly to each other about her, but she didn't feel like listening. She fell asleep thinking about James.

Sirius, Jase and Remus went up not long after the girls.

"Wasn't James supposed to get released today?" Remus asked as they walked up the stairs.

"Yeah he was, but Madam Diamonds probably kept him to make sure he was okay." Sirius said looking hopefully at the back of the portrait.

They entered their room and gasped. In bed, fully clothed, was James.

"James? You okay?" Sirius asked him as James started to wake up from the light in the hallway.

"Uh yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. Sorry I didn't tell you I was here. Where's Peter?" James asked, noticing Peter was nowhere to be found.

"Kitchens," Remus answered as he walked into the bathroom to get changed and brush his teeth.

"Night guys." Jase said getting into his bed and drawing the curtains around him.

"Night," James and Sirius replied in unison.

"Listen, James, I have this great prank to pull on old Snivellus!"

"Really! We've been lacking in pranks. So tell me in the morning! I'm tired right now," James pulled the covers up over him and laid on his side. Sirius drew the curtain and allowed James to go back to sleep.

James awoke at his usual time and got in his jogging clothes. He left the castle and jogged for about an hour thinking about summer vacation. He, Sirius, and Remus were going on a cruise this summer. Peter couldn't come because he gets sea-sick and his mother wouldn't let him anyways.

James walked up to the Gryffindor tower to shower and what-not. As he entered the common room he looked around the room for any sign of Sirius. Their was none, but a small red headed figure caught his eye. It was Lily and she was sitting on the couch writing feverishly in what looked like a journal.

"Lily?" James asked, as if to check he wasn't seeing things.

"Potter," Lily said. She seemed mad at him.

"Sorry. What did I do this time? Get up to early." The words were out of his mouth before he could think. He was frustrated with her; he didn't mean to be like that. She was confusing him. Sending him two different signals at the same time.

Lily just sat there looking at him her mouth hanging wide open. He had never talked to her like that before. It wasn't what he said just more the way he had said it.

"Well it was great to bless you with my presence, but I've got to shower." James said. Lily still just sat there as he walked towards the steps.

"Wait! James!" He turned to face her as she got up and ran to the bottom of the steps. He looked at her expectantly. "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt, I—I'm sorry! I'm always so mean and formal with you! Please can we call it a truce?" Lily asked, she didn't know why, the words were just flowing from her mouth before she could stop them.

"Lily, I feel fine." James answered stiffly. He'd been waiting for this day forever and he was acting like a jerk. With that he walked up the stairs, feeling like a complete idiot. He turned around. "Lily!" she had started to walk up her staircase but stopped when she heard her name. She didn't turn around, but he knew she was listening. "I'm sorry! Yes, can we please have a truce." Both walked down the stairs shook hands and continued on up to their dorms.

"You'll never believe what just happened!" James said as he emerged from the bathroom, steam rolling in behind him. His friends had just awoken, it was now 8:30. " Me and Lily called it a truce!" he said pulling a shirt on, and then pulling his robes on.

"No way! Ha ha! That's great mate! Now let's see here… you're stuck on the friends' stage!" Sirius clapped his friend on the back as he went in to use the facilities.

"Well I say that's closer than what it was!" James yelled after him.

"She called it a truce with you?" a sleepy Jase asked from his bed. "Lily's never done that before. Anyways you guys are asses! We can still sleep and yet you wake me anyways!" Jase said getting up and walking to the bathroom to find it had been locked and there was singing come from it. "Sirius in the bathroom?"

"Yeah, what's he singing today?" Remus asked. Usually you could tell Sirius's mood by what he was singing in the shower.

"Umm… it's Pretty in Pink today. Bet ya a knut he's singing about Joey. Dude Sirius and you have major problems." He directed at James. "You both are hopelessly in love with a girl who doesn't like you like that in return."

"Nah! You're just jealous because we're gonna end up having hotter girlfriends than you!" James told Jase. Of course knowing full well he just hit a nerve.

"Isn't she—pretty—in—pink. Isn't she?" they heard Sirius singing from the shower. He wasn't the best singer, but he was probably the most hilarious.

"Dude, you need to get a life, insulting Jade because you're jealous cause I can keep a girlfriend isn't one." Jase said angrily from his bed. He was looking for his bag and clothes were being thrown around everywhere.

"At least I'm wanted by every girl in the school! Even Lily!" James said walking over to Jase's bed. Both boys' were getting sort of mad at each other.

"The way you talk about girls, no wonder Lily won't even consider going out with you!" Jase getting up from his bed. "You'd only date her to get in her pants!"

"NO! THAT"S NOT TRUE!" James yelled at Jase finally losing his temper, he punched Jase in the mouth. Jase fell back on the bed, got up and punched James in the eye. The boys started to fight each other.

"WOAH! YOU TWO GET OFF OF EACH OTHER!" Remus yelled getting off his bed and separated the two with his wand. "You two are 16! You should act your ages you damn idiots! Grow up!" The boys just stared at each other for a while then:

"James, stay the hell away from Lily! I won't let you hurt her!" Jase said wiping the blood from his mouth.

"Like I'm even capable of hurting her! You'd have to tell her to not hurt me! But I guess that would be too late, since she's hurt me to many times to count!" James said as he walked toward the door. He turned around and whispered something to Remus before he walked out of the dorm and down the stairs to breakfast.

That's where I leave you peeps. Just to let you know, this takes place in this year. I'm not going back in time to do the 70's and stuff. It takes place in 2006. Sirius is just singing a really old song. I could've had him sing 'you're Beautiful' by James Blunt if I wanted to. Just to let ya know. Also I am American so this story may be a little crazy! Sorry. I do move fast and misspell a lot of words so yeah. Sorry!

REVIEW!

Love yalls
