"James wait up" someone said. James turned to see lily standing behind him

"Um can I help you?" he asked

"I wanted to talk to you?" lily said

"Are you feeling ok?" he asked putting his hand to her head

"I'm fine, I just thought it was about time I give you another chance, and thought maybe we could be friends" lily said

"Really, that would be cool" James said grinning while running his fingers through his hair.

"Yea, so I liked the prank you pulled yesterday, Katie or kitty whatever told me it was a dare" lily said to him

"Really? I got a weeks detention for it, so did Kitty" James answered. It felt like a dream to him 'lily's talking to me, and she liked a prank?' he thought to himself

"Well at least you can talk to each other" she said

"Nope, separate detentions, the teachers are getting smarter every year I'm here" he said laughing

"Speaking of Katie, is she ok?" Lily asked

"Yea why wouldn't she be?" James asked, lily pointed to the wall and James saw Katie sitting on the floor, leaning against it with her head in her hands.

"Oh, um I guess ill have to talk to you later ok?" he said. He cursed this event ruining the first time lily had ever been civil towards him, but he knew that he had to talk to Katie, she was never upset. He walked over and sat on the floor with her

"Lily is talking to me now, I guess you had something to do with that?" he said as more of a statement then a question.

"Yea" she said silently before she quickly turned her head from him to hide the tears as she wiped them away acting as if putting her hair behind her ears

"Look at me for a minute?" he asked. And she turned to look him in the eye

"Why are you so upset?" he asked

"I'm not upset" she said looking down

"Don't lie to me, you know your eyes change colors with your mood" he said looking at her still, her eyes were a dark blue, instead of the usual light.. And he was right. Because of the unique magic in Katie, she had special powers and qualities, one being the changing her clothes or hair with the snap of her fingers, another being that he eyes changed colors to matcher her mood.

"I don't want to talk about it" she said defeated

"Sorry, but I'm worried about you, its Sirius isn't it?" James asked her

"No why would it be?" she asked, her tone not so convincing

"I thought you would have liked that fact that he kissed you, he could have kissed anyone, that's got to tell you something" James said smiling at her

"Sirius already told me that" she said eyes locked to the floor

"What else did he tell you?" James asked not concerned, Sirius was the brightest speaker, especially when it came to people's feelings

"That he liked me" she said here eyes changing into more of a navy color.

"And that makes you upset?" he asked. Now he was really confused. She was silent for a moment

"Well I told him I liked him too" she explained. This was driving James crazy

"So what's the problem?" he asked

"he just wants to be friends, well friends with benefits, that way there's no attachment, so he can still screw all his other friends" she said angrily getting up and starting to walk away. James went after her; he put his arm around her waist and led her down an empty corridor.

"Listen to me, Sirius isn't so good with relationships, he's not doing this so he can still mess around with other people, if anything he doesn't want an attachment because he doesn't want to hurt you" James said

"But he is hurting me, James I don't open up to anyone, and this is why" she said almost yelling now.

"Kitty, listen, your beautiful, you could have any guy you wanted, you don't see how they look at you when you walk down the hallways" James said

"I don't want a guy who wants to date me because of my looks, I wont be used like that, I want a guy who knows me inside out, who I can just hangout with" she said

I know, you want Sirius" he said
