Authors Note: Thank you Erin and Allie!! This chapter is dedicated to you for your lovely and supporting reviews!

I don't own the guys as they all belong to themselves; I do own Erin a little bit and Rose.

Some how Lily managed to survive the first week back, but did bump into James on the way down to Divination with Kirsty, Lily had a free but agreed to escort her friend as Remus was ill again and had taken the week of, Erin was of with Vicky Lord somewhere, no doubt terrorising the Sytherines.

'Hey,' James said to Kirsty 'you know where Remus is don't you,'

'Of course I do,' Kirsty said curtly, 'I'll go up to the tower on my own Lil' as I have to speak to Professor Fitzgibbons as it is so see you later,'

Kirsty could tell Lily was pleading with her not to leave her alone with James but Kirsty blatantly ignored it.

'So, how are you?' James said politely

'I'm okay, embarrassed but okay,' Lily said awkwardly 'you?'

'I'm fine, yeah, and Lily, you know Jackie,'

'Aha,' Lily replied as they walked back to Gryffindor Tower together

'Well she thinks you're going to turn her into a frog to split her and me up, it isn't true, right?'

Lily stared at James speechless for a momentary second and stopped in her walking.

'Er, no,' Lily said firmly 'why would I?'

'Well she thinks you'll get obsessed with me about not being able to be with me-'

'NO!' Lily yelled, the damn cheek of that witch and the self hatred and embarrassment that had been bubbling within Lily over the past week felt ready to explode that instant 'hell no, and I'd turn her into something a bit more imaginative than a damn frog. I'm Head Girl, James,'

'I know that,' James replied ruffled 'I wanted to check that's all-'

'James I admit I have strong feelings for you, but I wont turn either Sirius nor Jackie into a bloody amphibian or any other creature that resembles anguish and putrid hatred swelling in the epitome of darkness,'

'Well, I just wanted to make sure we were clear,' James said, attempting to be glad and relieved but found that he wasn't all that relieved 'I mean you don't think Jackie and I are together, do you?'

'Well I'll admit that I guess,' Lily said, breathing fast and her cheeks flushed 'I always thought you were together because you always seem so together and now Jackie will probably hate me and never talk to me again,'

'Well,' James said in a round about way 'I won't deny she thinks you're a bit of a weirdo now but, lets forget the whole thing okay??'

Lily smiled, that was what she had been waiting to hear all week, it was the best thing anyone could've said to her and she was as happy as she had been when she'd had the dream in the first place.

'That would be great and thanks for understanding,' Lily said, 'I'll see you on Thursday then, and with that Lily raced quickly back to her dorm alone where she could happily spend her free lesson reading Alice in Wonderland again and again, or maybe she'd read something else, a little less childish so it was that she ran to the library instead.

AN: Sorry that was so short, I may edit it later today if I have time as I have extra lessons and stuff so I might not get time. Thank you for the reviews Erin and Allie. I don't own any of the gang as pre normal though I wish I did
