The months went by. James kept enough distance from Lily for Remus to trust him again as Lily and Remus got closer.

They would sit on a chair in the Common Room doing homework together, doing word-finds and fill-ins that Lily had, or just cuddling.

They were working on one of Lily's word fill-ins in March when Rini came stomping into the Common Room. She marched straight up to her dorm without looking at anyone. Lily looked at Remus. "I think I should go and find out what's wrong." Remus nodded.

Lily walked up the stairs to her dorm. Opening the door, she saw Rini shooting various hexes and curses at photos. "Serena?" Lily said cautiously.

"What?" Rini turned and snapped.

"Rini, what happened? Did you and Damien have a fight?"

"That…that…that jerk just decided he doesn't want to go out with me anymore! Instead, he wants to go out with that bimbo from Ravenclaw!"

"Who from Ravenclaw?" Lily asked curiously.

"Rachel Rone!" Rini said with a growl.

Lily looked at Rini with surprise. "Are you serious! Damien broke up with you to go with her?"

Rini nodded and looked at Lily with tears in her eyes. "What did I do to make him not like me anymore, Lily. I did everything I could to be a good girlfriend. What did I do wrong?"

Lily walked over to Rini and gave her a hug. Rini started sobbing into Lily's shoulder. "It's okay," Lily soothed. "You did everything right, Rini. Never blame yourself for what he chose. He chose Rachel. That's the kind of girl he thinks he wants. When he comes crawling back to you, that's when you let him feel his mistake. You don't take him back."

Rini laughed at Lily's last remarks. "I wouldn't take the idiot back to save the world. He's made his bed. Now he can lie in it. I just wish I knew what she has that I don't."

"Probably a big chest and the know how to use it."

Rini started laughing harder. "She is a year older than us," Rini pointed out. "You want to help me destroy the last of his pictures?"

"I'd love to."

With that, Lily and Rini destroyed the last of the pictures, careful to make sure only Damien was erased from them.

When Lily came back downstairs, Remus looked at her expectantly. "It's alright, Remus," Lily said. "She and Damien broke up, though." Remus looked at her surprised. Lily nodded. "He felt like going out with that loser of a witch from Ravenclaw, Rachel Rone."

Remus tried to figure out who Rachel Rone was. "Wait. Is she that third year Ravenclaw floozy with the bleach-blonde hair and lips too big for her face?"

Lily laughed at his description of her and nodded. "That would be her!" she cried through her laughter.

When Lily calmed down she exclaimed, "Rini should hear your description of Rone!" Before Remus could stop her, Lily ran to the steps and yelled, "Rini! Hey, Rini! Get your arse down here!"

Rini ran down the step. "What's up, Lils?"

Lily started giggling as she said, "You should here Remus's description of Rone!"

Rini intently set her eyes on Remus. He sighed and said, "She's that third year Ravenclaw floozy with bleach-blonde hair and lips too big for her face."

Rini burst out laughing as Remus finished. She ran over to him and gave him a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I needed that!"

James came into the Common Room just then, hearing Rini saying 'I needed that!' Curious, he asked, "What did you need, Rini?" So Lily, Rini, and Remus told him what had happened. He chuckled at Remus's description of Rone, but was otherwise angry with Damien by the end of the story.

"So you know where he is? No!" James seemed to have changed his mind. "I'll go find him myself and show him what happens when you mess with one of my friends." The idea that he might have changed his mind was gone. Before anyone could stop him, he was out the Common Room door.

"Uh-oh. I think he's mad," Lily said stating the obvious.

Rini turned to Lily. "Lily, I've known him as long as I can remember. I'm like a sister to him. Do you know how protective of me he is? Either he's going to kill Damien or he's going to pull a series of ferocious pranks on him."

After James had left the Common Room he reached into his pocket to make sure that he had his wand. Sure stormed around the castle looking for Damien. He had been storming around the school looking for Damien for nearly thirty minutes when he found him. He was talking to a girl who, by Remus's description, could only be Rachel Rone.

Hiding behind a corner, James watched then for a few seconds before deciding what to do. Finally, he took out his wand and aimed it at Rone's lips. "Engorgio!" he muttered. James watched amused as Rone's Lips began to get even bigger. She shrieked and, along with Damien, started to run to the Hospital wing.

Partially satisfied, James went back to the Common Room. When he reached the room, Rini ran up to him and asked, "What in Merlin's name did you do?"

James laughed. "Relax. I merely made Rone's lips truly become to big for her face."

Rini gave James a big hug and a kiss on his cheek. "Oh, thank you, James! You're the best non-brother and girl could have!"

"Uh, your welcome?" James said unsure.

"She means you're like a brother to her and you're the best one she could have, James," Lily said with a giggle.

"I knew that!"

"Sure you did, James. I forgot. You're the genius of our little group."

Rini let go of James as he smiled a stupid little smile and nodded. Lily just shook her head and sat down beside Remus.

"What are we going to do with him?" she asked as Remus put his arm around her.

"Unfortunately, I don't know," he said going along with it.

They all laughed and James just playfully hit Remus on the shoulder.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a few weeks since I updated. I've been sick and just completely out of it. But here's your new chappie! Enjoy!
