Okay so I have changed the name of my story from Bipolar to 3 way split! Im very sorry for any confusion on your part. If you have left a review in past chapters I messaged you, that's the faults of not reviewing people! Lol. Hope you like this chapter. Happy Reading.

The kitchens were deserted except for two other people. A Hufflepuff 4th year and James Potter. Lily walked in and sat down on the other side of the room from him conjured a book and asked the house elves very politely if she could have a portion of what that nights dinner would have been. They asked her if she wanted anything else and even tried to force her to order a bowl of rice pudding. But it didn't work she just wanted to eat and get out of the room as soon as possible. She had beauty sleep to catch up on, and a load of homework to finish tomorrow. Including one particularly annoying Transfiguration assignment that Jade refused to let her borrow as she had stolen back her charms homework before Jade could finish with it.

So she sat there a moped until the house elves reappeared with her food. She ate fast, gulping down her mouthfuls, not bothering to chew about 90 of the time. She wanted to get out of the kitchens and quickly. Bed sounded great to her and nothing could stop her…she was a woman on a mission…she bumped into her Hufflepuff friend who liked to talk a lot. Tracey Adams. Now don't get me wrong. Lily liked Tracey she was a good friend, but she would be talking all night if they got into a conversation.

"Hi Lily! It's been to long, please, sit, sit." Said Tracey with a huge smile.

"Tracey what a surprise! Great to see you!" replied Lily a Fake smile plastered onto her face taking a seat across from her chatterbox friend. She was never going to get way now, she was doomed for all eternity to never get a good nights rest. Or at least for that evening.

Lily cast a look around the kitchens for a reason that could save her from talking to Tracey. Her eyes scanned the room. Pots and pans…no. House elves…no. a load of first years….no. James potter….definitely not. Tracey was now gabbling on about all the homework she had when a brilliant idea hit Lily.

"Oh yeah me too, in fact I have this transfiguration assignment that I have no idea how to start and it's due on Tuesday. So I probably better start on it soon." Said Lily hoping Tracey would catch along.

Apparently she didn't as she kept on babbling about how she was so bad at transfiguration and how she had failed the OWLS then she went on to explain every little mistake she made. Now Lily was never going to get out of here, she was out of ideas. No one could save her now. Or so she thought.

James Potter came striding up to the table they were sitting at and smiled charmingly at Tracey; she batted her eye lashes and smiled dreamily at him. "Hello ladies he said, I hope Im not interrupting."

"No" they both said instantly, for different reasons of course. Lily couldn't help but wonder what the hell he was doing, was he trying to rub it in that she was stuck down here with Tracey, was he trying to extend the amount of time she spent down, there was only one way to find out.

"So James what is your purpose here? With us unworthy maidens" Tracey had beaten her to the question. Except Lily may have worded it a bit differently, like: "Hey potter, what's up? Please save me"

"Well I just accidentally overheard that Lily hear was having trouble with her Transfiguration assignment and thought I might come over and offer my help, as I am top of the class after all. But I didn't realise she was in such beautiful company, so I will just leave her be." He said.

Lily couldn't believe her ears, James Potter had come over to save her, but now he was taking away his offer. He was pure evil. He knew that she was sleepy and yet he was going to leave her with the umber one gasbag of the school.

"Why thank you for the compliment James, may I call you that? (James Nods and smiles) But I think Lily may be desperate on this assignment and I wouldn't want her to fail just because our romantic connection." She then giggled.

Lily was so thankful of Tracey right now she could have kissed her shoes or something. But she thought she better not or that might have seemed a bit suspicious. James nodded at Tracey, with a look on his face that he would have to be brave and help Lily instead of hang around Tracey, who was looking back with a look of remorse for him on her face. Lily never knew James was such a good actor. For she knew he couldn't mean it because and this was to mean no offence to Tracey, but he only liked extremely pretty or 'hot' girls and Tracey didn't exactly fit either of those categories.

Lily smiled stood up, said her goodbyes to Tracey and walked out of the kitchens with James.

"Thank you so much! You saved me" said Lily when they were out of Tracey's hearing range.

"That's okay I could tell you needed to get out of there and I didn't want your angriness and tiredness tomorrow on my conscience." He said with a lopsided grin.

From then on they walked up to the common room in silence.

They entered to find the group sitting around on the couches. Sirius and Madison were playing a rather heated game of exploding snap, in which they were trying to the best of their ability to put off each other. It wasn't really working. But Lily couldn't help but chuckle at the absurd faces each of them were pulling. Madison might be one for following the rules but she also had a fabulous personality, she always managed to make Lily laugh, this was one of those times.

Remus, Marie was playing chess. They both were concentrating extremely hard and had what Lily liked to call "Chess Faces", which was pretty much a firm eyes and they were chewing there lip. Marie was losing by a mile but she was determined to keep going, everyone knew Remus was a chess champion, but everyone also knew how stubborn Marie was and this was one of those times.

Jade was curled up in a ball on the armchair closest to the fire; she was humming to herself, examining the room and her friends and every so often jotting down a few things in her notebook. Jade was never without her notebook. Because you never know when something worthy of writing down is about to happen. She was always saying that "some day something novel worthy might happen, and I will be there with my notebook ready to make it happen, just you wait and see!" Jade really was a literature nut, sometimes you could find her completely absorbed in what she was doing not paying attention to the outside world. This was one of those times.

When everyone noticed they had entered there was an awkward silence. They all just sat for a moment with confused looks on their faces; trying to figure out where on earth the pair had been together after all they hated each other. Remus had a worried look on his face; after all it was his girlfriend that just appeared with one of his best friends. Sirius finally broke the silence with a comment typical for him.

"Prongs where were you? We were in a critical moment of the cream pie war, when I needed some one to help with a demonstration. You let my down prongs. I had to throw it at Mooney instead."

"Yeah! Without warning too!" added Remus.

James looked ashamed. "Im sorry Sirius, but I was helping this fair maiden down in the kitchens who was cornered by a rather chatty friend when she really just wanted to come up to the common room and rest. "

Remus looked relieved, only for a second. "And then she thanked me with a long snog in a broom cupboard on the way up!"

Remus jumped up angrily drawing his fist back about to smack James in the mouth.

"I did not!" Potter you baboon, I did nothing of the sort, you prat" intervened Lily with a yell. She then stomped upstairs into the girl's dormitory.

"It was a joke Lilikens!" James yelled, but it was cut into with a loud crash. Which was Lily closing the dormitory door.

James looked at Remus. "You didn't think I would really do that to you, did you mate?" Asked James.

Remus shook his head and patted James on the back. "Nah mate, I knew you wouldn't really, I just, well Im protective and what would Lily think if I had just sat there?" he said.

James nodded "Yeah, its all good." He then turned to the girls with pleading eyes. "Now can you please go and calm her down and make sure she goes to sleep right away because I wouldn't mind still having my hair in the morning."

The girls laughed and walked towards the staircase chattering between them. Just as they were nearing the top Jade turned around and asked "Why do you assume she would go for your hair?" with a confused look on her face.

"Because when Lily is really annoyed with me she goes straight for my most prized possessions, remember that one time when she snapped my broom clean in two. Well this is one of those times." James replied easily. The girls were satisfied and walked up to the dormitory, but it was known that 6 of them would be laughing at the thought of James Potter bald as a doorknob in their dreams.

Breakfast the next morning was tense, tense as the atmosphere when a pork chop is found at a Jewish wedding (if your Jewish please don't get offended it's just a saying). And that's tense. But it was also a sign that Lily had had a major fight with James, which was a common occurrence, so really it was a breakfast like every other.

Lily was grinding her teeth and staring down at her plate moodily, holding Remus's hand so tight his fingers were purple. James was stirring his porridge round and round occasionally taking a bite. Sirius was stuffing his face with al sorts. Jade was reading, because she was never allowed to read at the table at home. Marie and Madison were both eating whilst chatting away about…well anything they just talked non stop. Remus was busy calming down Lily and eating. And Peter was sitting beside Frank Longbottom and discussing their transfiguration assignments.

Remus was looking around the group desperate for someone to talk. He opened his mouth to speak when w giant owl flew past him and landed in front of James. James look worried as he undid the letter from its fastening which was holding it to the owl's leg. The owl was a large formal looking bird, which Lily thought no doubt must have come from the ministry. She wondered what trouble he could have got himself into this time.

James was staring intently at the words before him on the page, his face grew more agitated and saddened by the second. He finished the letter folded it up and took a few deep breaths shook his head and muttered "Right! Right!" and then forcefully unfolded the letter again and reread it. Sirius stopped eating to ask James what the matter was, James looked at him. James's eyes were different; they no longer held the mischievous look they usually did. This time they showed a hurt look, like a someone who had been deeply saddened and angered at the same time. He then threw the letter at Sirius and stormed out the hall.

Lily was very confused; she doubted that anyone could get that riled up about a simple letter from the ministry telling him he had blown up Flitwicks desk during detention and that he had a hearing, especially as this certain person had one for something or another about once a week. He always seemed to be able to get out of it someway and Lily always wondered why, she now knew it was probably because his father was minister.

Everyone was silent at the table, but no longer from anger or awkwardness, they were all stunned and curious about James's actions, he usually controlled his temper. Sirius quickly scanned the letter then gave it to Remus to read. They both stood up abruptly and left the hall after James. Remus sent an apologetic look in Lily's direction and a quick wave. He then turned and both boys sprinted off after there friend.

The next time Lily saw Remus was after lunch at arithmacy the next day, he told her him and Sirius had returned to classes but James had stayed up in the dormitory. He was still cooling off.

"So what happened yesterday with James?" Lily asked in a whisper as there teacher was copying notes onto the board for them to copy down. Lily had now mastered the talent of talking and note taking at the same time, Remus had too. And this was one of those times they took full advantage of it. The talent came from there frequent conversations during arithmacy and ancient runes. These classes where the ones where they got to talk the most as they were already top of the class and none of their friends where there to interfere. Also where their Friendship had blossomed into a relationship. A few awkward pencil borrowing and conversations later and here they were.

"I can't tell you everything because James would murder me but he is having a few family problems. They have been getting worse just lately and he has just been informed of some news that wasn't really welcome." Said Remus.

Lily nodded and processed the information in her mind. That's why the envelope had been formal looking; it was most probably from his father. She then cleared her mind of James; she had been thinking about him all too much lately, he got on her nerves so much it was hard for her not to think about him. But now she was slightly worried. But for the moment she just wanted to think about arithmacy and Remus. They had not had much time to themselves lately and she intended on getting some soon, it was good luck that they had a patrol that evening.

At dinner that evening James finally came out of the dormitory and sat and ate dinner with the rest of the school. Everyone was unusually quiet around him, as if not sure whether it was okay to speak to him. Not only that but people ate less and weren't lively at all, they just sat and at small mouthfuls silently. Even Sirius contained himself to only four servings of pie compared to his usual eight.

Nobody gave a whisper, but the girls and marauders except James where having a conversation, with looks.

Sirius gave Remus a hungry yearning for food look.

That Remus replied to with a "I know how you feel' look after all it was beef pie that was for dinner and it was nearing full moon it was taking all of Remus' strength not to devour the pies whole.

Lily shot Remus a "whats up?" look because she still had no idea about his lycanthropy and must have thought he had severe constipation from the look on his face. Remus then shot Lily a wheezy smile which she nodded to dismissivly and gave the girls a look that clearly said " Boys!".

Madison through her hands up in the air, stood up from her seat and bellowed "I cant stand this, somebody speak!" She then turned bright red, let out a giggle and sat down in her seat.

Everyone looked at James who apparently hadn't paid attention to the whole thing. He was pushing his peas around on his plate in deep thought. Sirus gave Remus a glance but with a growl from Madison said "we should do something, he can't mope around forever."

Remus nodded, ignoring the reproachful look Madison shot him. Then leaned over to James and softly said "Rosmerta hasn't been visited for a while, let's head down to 'The Three Broomsticks' and liven it up a bit."

Sirius then stood up and heaved James off of the bench and the boys weren't seen for the rest of the night. Remus didn't even return for his patrol shift. He sent a replacement in the form of a very boring, very strict, Don Stilton. A boy who James and Sirius like to tease mercilessly. He in fact has 'donned' the name within the marauders as "Donnie" which he of course hates. He was actually quite a nice guy, he just was very professional about his prefect's rights, he was also a bit sour that he didn't get Head boy and wants to prove Dumbledore wrong.

Don was in Gryffindor 7th year; he was intelligent and always abided the rules. Madison looked up to him greatly. He had ear-lobe length straight blonde hair that he tucked behind his ears that gave him a sort of surfer look, but without the highlights. He had grass green eyes that had a very innocent look about them, probably because he never did anything wrong so he had nothing to be guilty of. He was a bit over looked when it came to girls because everyone remembered him as uptight, but a few girls who got to know him had given him a chance. He was currently single however.

"Hey" he said, "Remus asked me to fill in for him tonight"

State the obvious thought Lily otherwise why would you be here? "Oh ok, well curfew is in 10 minutes so we might as well make a start at rounding everybody up."

Don nodded. "Yeah I have been working on my tackling skills for the runners. So we should have no trouble with them."

Lily smiled hesitantly and gave a weak chuckle, sincerely hoping he was joking. He of course wasn't as she got to find out later on in the night when they found a pair of fourth year Hufflepuffs in a broom cupboard. Lily was quite sure that she would never even consider stepping into a broom cupboard with someone in her fourth year; she would have only been 15. But yet again she wouldn't get in a broom cupboard now, it was just tacky.

Lily also had the trouble of keeping Don away from the secret entrance from Hogsmede which she knew the boys would be arriving from at some point through the night. When she heard some voices which she knew belonged to Remus and Peter, as a crazy James and Sirius singing lullaby's, she had to convince Don that they were coming from the hallway below so that The Marauders wouldn't get caught.

This ended up in the pair stumbling upon Filch and his cat and having a rather creepy conversation about the rules that they should be enforcing, but she convinced him that she was cruel enough to her "victims" as Filch liked to call them. And Filch was even shown some of Dons best karate moves. Though Filch was a bit weird and tended to hate the students the Lily thought he was ok really, he could be quite funny at times. But I guess it came from her good natured personality. She liked to give everybody a chance, and this was one of those times.

When the night came to an end Lily decided that she defiantly didn't want to get on the bad side of Don or Filch, ever. Otherwise they might beat her black and blue with a few of there best Jackie Chan numbers.

I got back to the dormitory and as usual everybody was still awake, we had a sot of tradition that on patrol night that the whole group stays up all night as I have to as well, so then when I am grumpy in the morning I have someone to be grumpy with. And then we are all so grumpy we don't care that each other are grumpy so we are all happy being grumpy.

"Hey Lila's how was your patrol, catch any innocent people trying to get some chocolate cake for their sick stomach and give them detention?" asked Marie.

"Gosh that was one time! Do you have to ask me that every time I get back?" Lily exclaimed.

"It was my time of the month I needed comfort food, and you took that away from me! And you humiliated me, Remus saw me in my 'Hello Kitty' pyjamas, how am I supposed to be the 'not girly' one if he sees me in those. You know he told Sirius and he still teases me about it!" Marie rebutted.

"Well I think what Lily is doing is excellent." Said Madison with a professional nod in Lily's direction. Lily smiled in appreciation. She always wondered how Madison didn't get prefect over her. She had a shining record. Unlike Lily's. That was mostly Marie's fault though. And the Marauders too because of that time they had a prank war because Lily stole Sirius's best shampoo.

"You would, just because you never break a rule!" retaliated Marie.

"Guys. Guys, GUYS!" shouted Jade

Everyone turned to look at her with a look of horror on their face, Jade was usually so quiet. But know she had risen up to her full height towering over them as they sat on their beds.

"Will you please keep it down I'm just about to find out whether Cheryl really murdered Tim or it was all a bug scam and you guys are putting me off!" Yep that was so like Jade, get the angriest they had ever seen her because she couldn't concentrate on a book. Typical.

Never the less the girls looked guilty and all climbed into bed mumbling their apologies. Lily muttered "Nox" and the lights went out. This was shortly followed by a whisper of "Lumos" as a wand in the direction of Jade lit up.

"Thank you" said Jade quietly as she returned to reading.

Everything was silent for 5 minutes until….

"Crap!" exclaimed Lily.

"What?" asked Madison jumping up and grabbing Marie's broomstick in defence, "is there an intruder coz' ill get him!" she shouted.

"No no, not that, I didn't do my transfiguration assignment I'm doomed. McGonagall will boil me in a pot and serve me for dinner. And worst of all I'll never make Head Girl!" Ranted Lily.

"Did you just put the fact that you won't make Head Girl as being worse than being boiled? Because personally I think…" started Jade before she was interrupted by a frantic Lily.

"I've got to go do it!" and she ran out the dormitory in her 'Winnie the Pooh' pyjamas, clutching her transfiguration book upside down.

Thanks for reading. Hope you liked the chapter. Sorry I took so long to update, I have been quite busy these Holidays. Well not really but I'm just making excuses so that you don't throw things at me through your computer screen! Lol. I have though been working on the plot and have some nice and interesting things heading your way later on in the story!

Thanks to all of my reviewers.
