"So Evans excited to be transfigured?" James Potter asked later that night when they were in the room of requirement together. He was currently kissing her neck lightly.

"Yeah it should be fun." Lily said breaking away from James and looking deep into his hazel eyes. "James, what are you going to turn into?" Lily asked softly giving him one last kiss before walking into the adjoining bathroom to straiten her hair and make up.

"A stag." James answered nervously, luckily Lily didn't notice. "What about you?" James asked not wanting to stay on the subject of him.

"A beaver!" Lily said happily.

"Why a beaver?" James asked curiously.

"I don't know I was reading a book over the summer that had a really cool beaver in it. So that's where I got the idea." Lily answered joyously. "Anyway, I'll see you later Jamesie, I've got a date."

"With who?" James asked with a smirk, which coincidently faded when he heard the answer. "You are going out with my best mate?" James asked dumbfounded.

"Yeah, he's a nice guy; I hear he is pretty good in bed too." Lily said and watched as the color drained from James' face.

"You haven't even slept with me… and you are going to go sleep with my best friend?" James asked slowly making sure he understood her clearly.

"Yeah, why do you have a problem with that?" She replied raising an eye brow at him.

James seemed to regain his composure at this point. "You are not being very honest Miss Evans." James smiled evilly as Lily cursed under her breath. "Did you really think I was that stupid? At least choose Peter next time," James stated clearly, and added in an after thought, "Though I wouldn't shag you after he did." Lily gave a dry laugh.

"I hate you James." She said stubbornly.

"And I hate you to Lily." He said and swept her into his arms and kissed her softly on the lips. Lily giggled a little.

"You are so cheesy sometimes Mr. Potter!" Lily stated. "Now, if you do not mind, I am actually going to go meet Zach in the Astronomy tower." Lily said, not wanting to give anymore information than needed.

"You're still shagging him?" James asked before Lily was out the door.

"No." Lily said simply and walked out.

She started her long journey across the school, and checked her watch about half way. It was eight fifty five, and she was supposed to meet Zach at nine. Not wanting to be late she ran the rest of the way.

"You're a minute Late Lils." Zach said when she walked in. The smirk on his face told her he was just playing around.

"Blame Potter." Lily said as if it would some up everything.

"What were you shagging him again?" Zach asked with a playful smile.

"You know dam well that I have never shagged James Potter!" Lily said triumphantly, though secretly she wanted to, she would never, and when Lily Evans said never she meant never, shag James Potter… Unless she was under threat of death, being paid lots (but don't get her wrong, she was no slut), and then there was the long shot. She was in love with one James Potter. Lily chuckled to herself; that would never happen.

"Yeah, yeah I know, you'd rather shag Snape than James. Though please if you do shag Snape, don't tell me." Lily laughed; she wouldn't shag Snape even if her life depended on it.

"Funny O'Cantor, real funny, you're just full of jokes tonight aren't you?" Lily teased him in a light manner. "I wouldn't shag Snape if he were the last man in the world, and me shagging him would decided the fate of the human race." Lily said flatly.

Zach backed off instantly; he knew not to bug Lily too much. He never wanted to be on the bad end of one of her arguments, to sum it up lightly; Lily's Hexes could kill a Death Eater within seconds.

Not that she had used them on many people in the past, but those, save James Potter, never bothered to mess with her again. Though James Potter was defiantly able to uphold himself in a duel, and rivaled Lily for the best dueling skills in the school, or as Dumbledore said one time "Probably only rivaling Alastor Moody, and possibly myself, but I'm not sure in my coming age that that would be so true." When he said that James and Lily had burst out laughing, what they didn't know was that he was not joking. They were some of the best.

"So are you still into that Aeries character?" Zach asked bringing Lily back from her thoughts. She nodded slowly taking in what he was saying before she spoke.

"He doesn't fall for any of it, and you know how I am with challenges. I always get what I want." Lily stated with a smirk. Deep down she was as arrogant as James, not that she would let anyone know of course.

"You are bad Lily Evans." Zach said and walked up to her and put his arms around her waist and laid his head on her shoulder. She smiled. "James is crazy about you, you realize that right?" Zach told her. This was the last thing she ever wanted to hear.

"How do you know?" Lily asked leaning back into him. This was the last topic she ever wanted to discuss, and the one he always tried to.

"He mutters your name in his sleep." He said lightly with a laugh. "Plus the way he looks at you is almost sickening. A mix of love and lust comes to his eyes every time you walk into the room."

Lily gave him a funny look and he just shrugged. To Lily, it always seemed like this boy knew too much sometimes. Lily turned and looked into his eyes before lightly kissing him on the lips.

"I really don't care." Lily replied when breaking the light kiss. Zach smiled his award winning smile at her.

"You are such a flirt sometimes." Lily just smiled at his words and turned around in his arms, she kissed him, but this time more passionately. When they pulled apart they both turned and looked out at the sky.

"It's so beautiful." Lily said after a while. The stars were twinkling at them as if they understood it all.

"It reminds me of you." A voice Lily recognized to be James' from behind her.

"Where did you come from, and where'd Zach go?" Lily asked now realizing she had been speaking to herself.

"He left about two minutes ago."

"Oh." Lily said still looking out into the sky obviously deep in thought. She felt his arms around her waist and his head buried into her neck.

"Do you want to go in?" James asked as she gave a small shiver.

"Yeah let's go in." Lily said and led the way out of the door.
