AN: All I have to say to that FoxFur is WOW! I mean…that is one of my many dreams, I have lots of dreams and in every dream I'm either married or spending my life with the same dark haired man with children…but alas it's just a dream. James who I'm meeting on Saturday is perfect but there's one tiniest problem with him, he fancies my best friend as he has seen a picture of the two of us together and mistook her for me saying he'd go out with her any time. Then he added to who he thought was my friend who was actually me and said red hair is a turn off! So that plan has officially backfired and I haven't even met him yet. He still said he'd like to meet me even without my friend but I feel he is just being polite to me and his friend who happens to be my friend too.

I know this story isn't exactly a true telling of how Lily and James would've got together and everything as he would've asked her out at the start of the year in order to become engaged shortly after Hogwarts so I know it doesn't follow your normal L/J time relationship path but. This is based on real life still a little…so…here it is and thank you for all the reviews they all mean so much to me!! And FoxFur your life sounds too good to be true.

Here it is!

Hope you like as I love writing it

Dreaming 12

James felt awkward, he wasn't even sure himself as why he had a change of heart, maybe it was what Sirius had said about good friendships making good relationships. Because James knew very well that this time last week he had no intention of liking and especially asking Lily out any time soon, so what had happened?

'Well, it's complicated,' James said, hoping it would sound convincing

'It can't be that complicated, can it?' Lily suggested helpfully

'Oh it can,' James said quickly 'its only today I realised, realised that I like you a bit, I mean I know I used like you a lot but when I turned 16 I kind of gave up,'

'Wouldn't blame you,' Lily laughed, then with a glance at her watch she said 'we better go, we've got potions,'

'We could stay here, we are head girl and boy I'm sure they'd let us miss just one lesson to talk things over as I haven't cleared the air totally just yet,' James replied and Erin had entered the common room with the dreamy look on her face that she normally wore on a Thursday afternoon after spending the afternoon with Vicky Lord and Joseph Stebbins from Hufflepuff.

'Hey, you two are talking without turning red now?' Erin asked bluntly, Lily nodded sheepishly and James said

'We've been talking since Monday but we've only just cleared the air, right Lily?'

'Not cleared it completely, James,' Lily reminded him as he still hadn't been completely honest with her yet. 'Anyway,' Lily said turning to Erin 'we were just going to the library so-'

'Hey don't mind me,' Erin said happily 'I've got Potions homework to do for tomorrow,'

James and Lily exchanged glances, not in all the seven years of knowing Erin Jackson had they ever known her to complete her work and hand it in the next day.

'Jesus you are ill, then again when did you get the potions homework?' Lily added with a bemused smile on her face

'Since last Thursday and in for yesterday,'

Of course, Lily thought, Erin would never hand work in on time.

James then followed Lily out of the library and into the hustle and bustle that had now filled the corridors as last break had approached and all the students had burst out the classroom doors and were making their way up to their next lessons. On their way down to the library (they were meant to be in Potions) they ran into Rose and Sirius and Rose was berating Rose on some guy or other, that's my job, James thought and then he pondered, what guy are they yelling about?

'James, just leave them to it,' Lily warned, knowing that the smaller brown haired Rose had a higher temper than herself and that was some mean feat by itself.

'You can't tell me who to date; I can go on a date with Dave Gudgeon if I like to thank you very much!' Rose yelled, her eyes were glaring at Sirius with every sign of great dislike 'why should it make any difference to you? You're seventeen!!'

'I know that,' Sirius replied his voice dripping of disdain 'it's just I don't think he's right for you-'

'Yeah well what do you know about me, it it's not like you're my brother Sirius!!!'

'I worry about you, that's all,' he said 'and was hoping when I leave Hogwarts that you'd come and-'

'Come and what Sirius?' Rose said huffily, her arms folded.

'Live with me,' Sirius added helplessly

'FUCK OFF! I'm 14! And I still haven't forgiven you for Soho!' and with that Rose Potter turned on her heel and marched in the opposite direction Sirius was left in the corridor alone looking down at Rose's retreating back, James and Lily cautiously hid their held hands beneath their cloaks between them so Sirius wouldn't see them.

'You weren't hassling my sister were you, Padfoot,' James said smirking, and smiling at his best friend at the same time.

'She needs a- I mean I would never even dream of dating her but dating Gudgeon well! She may as well date Snape!' Sirius ranted then look suspiciously at Lily and James he added 'what are you doing,'

'Nothing,' James said quickly and they had let go of hands as quickly as lightening and Sirius was looking at them with all the suspicion he could possess 'we were just going down to potions,'

'Well,' Sirius said 'have you two actually made up about the dream,' Lily rounded on James so quickly that she came with all the subtlety of an arriving train.

'SIRIUS KNOWS?!?' She said angrily 'who else?'

'Well Remus, Peter-'

'Oh great,' Lily moaned 'I thought we could just forget it and-'

'And Jackie too,'

Lily was furious; all the embarrassment over the past week seemed too suddenly rush back to her in a second, at that moment in time

AuthorsNote: Sorry this is so short as I have to go to lunch with said person who inspired story. So cutting xtreamly short and at clff hangerish stage as he is behind me.

HalleYou wouldn't do anything I couldn't undo would I, Sirius said earnestly
