A/N: To my 2 reviewers, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have raised my self-esteem about writing. I hope you and anyone else likes this chappie!

Disclaimer: Yet again, I cannot come up with anything like this. This is JKR's work only plot, storyline, and unrecognized characters are mine.

Ch 2. This has to be a Dream, Right?

Lily woke up in her room. She was a little freaked out. She was used to having her friends in the same room with her when she woke up. She looked at her watch. It said it was 1:37 in the morning. Lily couldn't sleep anymore so she took the comforter off her bed and walked down the stairs. She went over to the bookshelf and grabbed one off the shelves. It looked interesting so she walked over to one of the big, poofy armchairs and sat down.

She was getting really into the book when a noise behind her made her look up. James had come down the stairs. He looked up and saw her sitting in the room He wasn't expecting anyone to be down here.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you would be down here," said James. "I'll go and leave you be. 'Night."

"It's alright," said Lily, gesturing to the seat next to her. "You can stay if you like. I don't care."

He walked over and sat in the chair she was pointing at. He grabbed a blanket off the back of the couch and curled up in it.

"Why did you come down?" he asked her.

"Well, I woke up and I felt weird because none of my friends were with me like I'm used to. It felt empty in my room. How about you? Why are you here?"

"Pretty much the same as you, really. I'm used to waking up with Sirius's voice ringing in my ears and it felt different. Lonely, actually," he answered. "What time is it anyway?"

"Ummm…it's almost 2 o'clock in the morning," said Lily

"Uhhh," groaned James as he stretched his arms up causing the blanket to slip down revealing a bare-chested James. He was tan and had very toned muscles running down his arms and chest. Lily couldn't help but stare at him. 'Grrr, why am always staring at him. It isn't like I like him. I mean, he does look good and he's really tall and-'

'NO! Bad Lily! Don't you think things like that. You're succumbing to the Potter charm. You're letting it get-'

'Quiet you. She likes him what is wrong with that? I mean, come on. If a guy that looked like that liked you, you'd be doing something constructive about it.'

'So? She's going against what she's believed since 1st year, HATING JAMES POTTER! You really want to make her forget that?!'

'Yup, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Just don't forget everything. She needs to stay on her guard so he doesn't trick her like we know he can do.'

"Ahh! Shut up! You're giving me a headache!" yelled Lily. "Stop talking to me! I don't care!"

"Um, Lil, I didn't say anything to you," said James, looking at her as if she was crazy, (which he probably thought she was.)

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said hastily. "My conscience decided we needed to have a talk right here and now."

"Oh," he said. Surprise #6: He didn't laugh at her. He always used to laugh at her when she would do or say something stupid but he didn't. 'Okay. When he hits 10 on my list, I have to start worrying.'

"Well, I think I'll head back up to my room. Good night James," said Lily.

"Wait, Lily. I'm coming. I'm going back to bed too. I'll walk with you."

They climbed the stairs and departed at their respected rooms with a good night each. Lily climbed back in bed and found that she couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about James. The voices in her head were threatening to come back for a rebuttal but she pushed them to the back of her mind. She still couldn't figure out what James, 'It's Potter you idiot! Not James!' the voice butted in, what his plan was. Whatever it was, it was beginning to work

"Okay, tomorrow I will talk to Aly, Sam, and Emmy about it. Hopefully they'll help me and not make me face their torture of the constant, 'I told you so, I told you so!' That is the last thing I want."

Lily still could not fall asleep. Then she got an idea. An awful idea.

A/N: Well, I wrote chapter 2. Not exactly what I was going for because of my brain wave while I was writing but hopefully you like it! Please R&R!
