Disclaimer: blah blah etc etc yada yada ...you get the gist

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Gigi snuggled closer to Sirius as they lay down on their backs, looking up at the stars from the Astronomy Tower. Gigi gave a quick glance in Sirius's direction and couldn't help but smile at the serene smile on Sirius's face. She couldn't imagine a time in her life when she was happier than she was now. She grinned as Sirius tightened the arm he had wrapped around Gigi and gave her a light kiss on the top of her head.

Gigi turned over on her stomach and started fiddling with Sirius's hair. "Do you remember the first time we met?"

Sirius shifted his weight so he was lying on his side, with his weight leaning on his elbow as he rested his head in his hand. "Of course." He took Gigi's hand and placed it in his own. "I can remember the first time I laid eyes on you."

"Go on," Gigi said slowly as Sirius tucked some hair behind her ear.

"Your bag had split open and so all your books fell onto the floor," Sirius said. "You were muttering something to yourself furiously, probably how late you were gonna be or-"

"How I'm never again buying a bag from a place called Jimbo's," Gigi said with a laugh.

Sirius laughed along with her. "Well, the guys and I were in the middle of planning a prank and I just zoned out, thinking that I had just laid eyes on the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts."

Gigi's cheeks turned pink from embarrassment and she had to turn away, unable to believe how sweet her boyfriend was.

"And thirty seconds later," Sirius continued. "You got run over by Snape."

"No," Gigi said. "I'm pretty sure I got run over by a monkey."

"Yeah…" Sirius said slowly. "That was Snape."

Gigi burst out laughing. "So all in all, the prank was successful."

"And so was my ploy to get the most gorgeous girl at Hogwarts to go out with me," Sirius said.

"Seven years later," Gigi pointed out.

"I could have waited seven decades," Sirius said softly, brushing his lips against Gigi's.

Gigi smiled up at Sirius. "And then two days later, we officially met when you sat next to me in Potions."

"And then you caused our potion to turn purple instead of what it was supposed to do," Sirius added.

Gigi shrugged. "I was too distracted by the hot guy standing beside me."

"You thought I was hot?" Sirius asked with a grin.

"I was referring to James," Gigi joked.

Sirius started tickling her. "I am so much hotter than James!"

"Eek! Stop!" Gigi cried out between giggles. She struggled to get free but he had a tight grip on her. "Sirius!" Gigi couldn't shout much more because she was laughing so hard as Sirius tickled around her stomach. "I hate you!" she burst out.

Sirius stopped tickling her and tackled her to the ground. "That's not what you said last night," Sirius whispered as he brought his lips to meet hers.

Gigi wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "C'mere," she murmured as she deepened the kiss and rolled over so she was on top of him. She shivered a bit from excitement as Sirius's hands found his way into her tangled hair.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Hey Gi," James said, walking into the Gryffindor common room a few days later. "Have you seen Sirius?"

"No," Gigi said quickly. "Why would you assume that I've seen him? Of course I haven't seen him. We hate each other. I haven't seen him!"

James gave her a strange look and glanced down at the brownie she was halfway through. "I think there's something weird in that brownie. Either that or you've gone crazy."

Gigi paused to think about it. "I'd go with the last option."

James laughed and went upstairs, skipping every other step. "Oh hey Si."

Sirius turned around from his desk chair and nodded in his direction. "What's up?"

James looked at the piece of brownie on a napkin on Sirius's desk. "Are you eating a brownie?"

"No," Sirius said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "I'm hoping that if I stare at it long enough, it will become two brownies."

"And how's that working out for you?"

"You only see one brownie, don't you?" Sirius joked.

James glanced at two glasses of milk sitting next to him. "And two glasses of milk?"

"So?" Sirius asked, yawning and obviously bored with the conversation.

"Let me spell it out for you," James said. "You have a brownie on your desk and two empty glasses of milk..."

Sirius gave him a blank stare.

"Okay…let me spell it out for you some more," James said. "Either you ate two brownies and two huge glasses of milk by yourself, or you were with a certain somebody."

Sirius gave him another blank stare.

"Okay, let me just tell you how it is," James said tiredly. "Gigi came back with half a brownie and now you have two empty glasses of milk and brownie all over you. So just admit that you were with her."

Remus walked in just then. "Who was he with?"

James turned to him. "I'll spell it out for you."

"Please don't," Sirius whined.

"Aha! So you admit that you were lying," James said.

"No," Sirius muttered. "You're just not very good at spelling it out."

James rolled his eyes. "Sirius spent all afternoon with Gigi."

"Hey, that's not true!" Sirius exclaimed. "You're just jumping to your own conclusions…which are wrong."

James paused and then turned to Remus. "Sirius was with Gigi all afternoon."

"How do you know this?" Remus asked, glancing over at Sirius who wasn't saying anything.

"Gigi had a brownie, Sirius has a brownie and two glasses of milk," James said.

"Wait, so let me get this straight. You were with Gigi all afternoon and you guys had brownies?" Sirius shrugged, not wanting to admit it. "And you didn't get me one?"

James gave him a look.

"Right, right. That's not the point," Remus said. "But are there any left in the kitchen?"

"Moony!" James exclaimed. "This is a serious conversation."

"You make it seem like Sirius murdered someone or that the world is coming to an end," Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"If Sirius and Gigi are friends or whatever, I think the world has come to an end," James said.

Remus paused and turned to Sirius, glancing down at the two empty classes of milk. "Oh my god. The world has ended!"

"Guys," Sirius said, rolling his eyes. "It's not that big of a deal."

"You ate brownies together," Remus said. "Brownies are like your favorite food! You only eat them with your favorite people!"

"And now I'm putting you on the 'not eating brownies with me' list," Sirius joked.

Remus laughed. "Okay, let's be serious here for a minute," Remus said and then pointed to the rest of his brownie. "Are you gonna finish that?"

"Remus!" James cried out. "Stop acting stupid!"

"Sorry, I know I'm acting stupid," Remus said. "There's no milk left. You can't eat a brownie without milk."

"Why do I bother?" James groaned.

"Hey S-" Gigi started, poking her head in to talk to Sirius. "-Sexy guys."

James grinned. "I'd find that weird if it wasn't so true."

"Do you have any brownie left?" Remus asked Gigi. "And milk?"

"Huh?" Gigi asked.

"Ignore him," James said. "By the way, we know about you and Sirius."

Gigi looked over at Sirius. "You told them?" she hissed.

Sirius smacked his head against the desk. "No."

Gigi bit her lip and gave him an innocent look. "Oops?"

"So there definitely is something going on," James said with a grin.

"What are the chances you believe that an alien took over my body?" Gigi asked.

"Oooh, don't forget to mention that UFO," Sirius said, leaning back in his chair.

Remus and James gave him a look.

"What?" Sirius asked. "It was green and lit up."

"So…who wants to go down to dinner?" Gigi asked, rushing out of the room.

"Me!" Sirius cried out, following her out of the room.

"Oh, this is so not over," Remus said, racing out of the room with James.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Whoa, what's with the parade of people?" Lily asked, as Gigi and Sirius practically ran into the Great Hall, closely followed by James and Remus who were out of breath.

"Do you see us with whistles?" James asked, catching his breath. "Or a baton and some tubas?"

"Uh…no?"

"Then it's not a parade," James snapped.

"Oh good, because I was utterly confused," Lily said, rolling her eyes and glaring in James's direction.

"We're just trying to figure out what's going on with Sirius and Gigi," Remus said.

"What do you mean?" Kacie asked, putting her fork down.

"We told you," Sirius insisted. "It was a UF-"

"There's no such thing as UFO's and aliens!" James cried out.

Sirius pouted and piled the food on his plate. "Just wait til you get abducted by aliens," Sirius said. "You'll be sorry."

James pointed his fork at Sirius to say something but by mistake flung some mashed potatoes at him.

Sirius gasped as the potatoes hit him in the face and shoulder. He narrowed his eyes. "Oh you are so dead."

"I didn't mean to!" James shrieked, jumping up from the table.

Remus watched Sirius chase James with a full cup of milk and turned to the group. "Bets on who's gonna win this fight?"

"James will definitely outrun Sirius," Kacie said.

"No, I think one way or another, that milk will end up all over James," Gigi said, sitting back and watching with amusement.

"I have a feeling they will both trip over something and both end up on the floor," Peter added.

They all turned to watch James run past the Slytherin table and Sirius chase after him. A few seconds later, Sirius tripped over his shoelace and went crashing to the floor, losing grip on the milk.

"AGH!" a voice cried out, jumping up from the Slytherin table. Everyone turned to see Snape covered in milk.

Remus smirked. "That's a much better outcome."

"Oh Snivelus!" Sirius cried out, getting up from the floor and taking a handful of mashed potatoes. "I think you forgot something." And with that said, he flung the food right at Snape.

Then he walked over to James and wiped his hands on James's robes with a smirk. "Don't think I forgot about you."

James looked down at his robes and groaned. "Yeah, because I was worried," he said, rolling his eyes. James slapped Sirius on the back and smiled. "So…what really is going on with you and Gigi?"

"BLACK!" a voice cried out from behind Sirius.

Sirius shrugged. "Nothing really," Sirius said.

James gave him a blank look. "Aren't you gonna turn around?"

Sirius shook his head and shrugged again. "It's just Snape. Totally harmless."

"BLACK! Turn around and fight like a man," he sneered.

Sirius snorted and still didn't turn around. "Why does everyone think there's this big thing going on between Giliba and I?" Sirius asked James.

"Discussing how you're a disgrace to your family?" Snape scorned. "Or how you are the one thing wrong with this entire world?"

James took out his wand and muttered a hex, turning Snape into a snail.

Sirius glanced behind him. "Thanks man."

James shrugged, acting as if nothing had just happened. "So seriously, what's going on?"

Sirius tried hard to shrug, but it turned into a huge grin.

James opened his mouth wide. "Oh my gosh! You're having sex!"

"Shhh!" Sirius cried out, putting his hand over James's mouth, "Say it louder, I don't think the snail heard you."

James bit his lip and shrugged confoundedly. "Sorry."

"And no, we're not having sex," Sirius whispered, glancing over at Gigi who was grabbing her water back from Lily who was two seconds away from dumping it on her. "We're just…together."

"Oh, now I understand," James said sarcastically, but he so amazed that Sirius and Gigi weren't just friends…they were more. "Because together isn't ambiguous at all."

Sirius shrugged. "C'mon. It's me and Giliba. Me and Gigi."

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I've met both of you and I'm almost positive I know your names," James said.

"We're just taking things slow. We are the king and queen of relationships suck, one night stands are awesome, who needs commitment," Sirius said.

"Wow, you were upgraded to king?" James joked.

Sirius grinned. "I get a throne and a crown."

James laughed and then he paused and shook his head in disbelief. "Oh my gosh! You two are…together."

"See?" Sirius said smugly. "It's not so easy to come up with a word for it."

"A relationship! You're dating! You're going out!" James hissed.

"Oh…maybe there are words for it," Sirius said. "But hey, don't tell everyone else okay?"

"Of course not," James said. "I wouldn't tell your secrets."

Sirius gave him a look.

"But what about writing? Can I write it in the gossip newspaper?" James asked.

"James," Sirius warned.

"Fine," James said. "What about sign language?"

Sirius hit him over the head.

"OW!" James cried out. "I'll take that as a no."

"Good idea."

James laughed. "But I don't get it. You and Gigi hate each other. I'm talking hexes and yelling and fighting."

"Speaking of hexes," Sirius said. "You're about to step on Snail Snape."

James looked down and burst out laughing.

"So I have a question," Remus said from across the way.

"Yes, summer does come after fall," Gigi joked.

"No it doesn't," Lily pointed out.

Gigi paused. "Oh yeah."

"That's not the question I was going to ask," Remus said. "But thanks for clearing that up. I was going to ask why Sirius and James are standing by the Slytherin table and why they haven't moved for the past five minutes."

Lily glanced over and then faced Remus. "You're a Marauder. What do you think they're doing whispering by the Slytherin table?"

Remus gazed over at them. "You really think that they're planning a pran-" Remus stopped. "Oh my god. They just turned Snape into a snail."

Peter, Lily, Gigi, and Kacie violently jerked their heads to look at the Slytherin table. "Oh my god!"

Kacie shrugged, stepping off of the bench after she got a good look. "To be fair, he deserved it."

"How do you know? You're not even over there," Peter noted.

"It's Snape. He always deserves it," Kacie said.

"I'd argue with that," Remus said, sticking a roll into his mouth. "But it's pretty much the truth."

Kacie turned to see Sirius and James walk over to their table with their arms around each other's necks. "Hmm…are you guys sure James and Sirius aren't gay together?"

Everyone turned to look at the two boys and just chuckled. "They do spend an awful lot of time together," Remus said slowly.

"Yeah but you spend a lot of time with them also," Lily noted.

"Whoa, a threesome?" Gigi asked. "That's hot."

Remus laughed and threw the rest of his roll at her but she ducked and it hit Sirius in the face.

"Hey! Didn't we just learn what happens when you hit me with food?" Sirius asked with a laugh.

"So, how's the sex?" Kacie teased, sticking a carrot in her mouth.

Sirius choked on the water he just took a sip of. "What?"

"You and James," Peter said.

Sirius and James exchanged glances and then made retching noises. "You guys are sick," James said. James turned to the others. "But if you want to know about the sex, you should ask Sirius and Gigi."

"James!" Sirius cried out. "What happened to the no telling my secrets thing?"

"I lasted six minutes," James said with a shrug. "That's five minutes longer than I expected."

"You told him?" Gigi hissed.

"You're having sex?" the other friends exclaimed. Sirius opened his mouth to say no but didn't have the time.

"You two are together?" Remus cried out.

"Are there any more rolls?" Peter asked.

Everyone turned to stare at him.

"It's a very important question!" Peter exclaimed.

"Oh, look at the time, we have class!" Gigi exclaimed, grabbing a few carrots and heading out.

"Oh shit, we're late!" Sirius cried out, running after her.

"It's seven o'clock at night!" Remus called out, grabbing the half eaten roll from his plate and rushing after them.

Lily, Kacie, and Peter exchanged looks and quickly got up and ran after everyone. James grabbed a few rolls before he ducked out behind everyone.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Sirius caught up with Gigi very quickly, mainly because he was on the Quidditch team and could outrun almost anyone. "It kind of slipped out," Sirius said with a shrug. "I mean he is my best friend."

"I've been keeping this from my best friends for awhile now," Gigi said, glancing behind her shoulder and speeding up. "It's what we agreed on. Remember? No telling our friends or they'll make fun of us and ruin the good thing we have."

"I tried lying," Sirius said. "But James could see right through my lies because I was smiling so much."

Gigi stopped and turned to Sirius with a slight smile. "Couldn't stop smiling huh?"

Sirius wrapped his arms around her. "It's kind of hard to frown when you're the topic of conversation."

"You make it impossible to be mad at you," Gigi said.

"It's the charm," Sirius said with a grin.

"Nah, that's not it," Gigi said. "If you weren't hot, I'd drop you in a second."

Sirius laughed and kissed her on the lips.

"Ahem," a voice coughed from behind them.

"Busted," Gigi said with a smile, putting her hand in Sirius's. She turned to see their five friends standing there with their arms crossed, James with a roll stuffed in his mouth.

"Hey Lily," someone said from the connecting hallway. The whole group turned to see Radley standing there.

Lily grinned. "Hey there."

"Hi Bradley," James muttered, narrowing his eyebrows.

Lily hit him hard in the stomach and walked over to Radley. She called over her shoulder, "You guys go ahead, I'll catch up with you."

Everyone but James shrugged and headed towards the Common Room. James fell behind everyone and glanced over his shoulder as he walked away as slowly as he could.

"I had fun the other night," Radley commented.

Lily smiled. "So did I. We should do it again."

"What are you doing this week?" Radley asked.

"I have a very busy schedule of sitting around avoiding homework," Lily teased and then she shrugged. "I'm free Thursday night."

Radley kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you then."

Lily smiled and watched him walk away. She turned the corner and nearly jumped out of her skin when she ran right into James. "What are you doing here?" Lily asked, obviously annoyed.

"I don't like him," James answered immediately.

"You don't know him," Lily said tiredly, walking quickly ahead.

"Well I don't like what I do know," James said.

Lily stopped abruptly and turned to James who nearly ran into her back. "If you don't like him then don't date him. Don't talk to him. Don't go near him. But I frankly don't give a damn who you like and who you don't like."

"Why are you being so hostile?" James asked calmly.

"Because you are such a hypocrite!" Lily cried out. "You say we'll never be friends and then you stand here in a hallway and try to have a nice conversation. You say we should just stay away from each other and then you interrupt my date by acting like an asshole. You say I can't date other people but here you are dating Nancie!"

"I don't want to date Nancie!" James exclaimed.

Lily stopped glaring and gritting her teeth, and looked up at him. "What?"

"I don't want to date Nancie," James repeated lamely. "And I know you don't want to date Bradley."

Lily groaned at him saying the wrong name but let it go. She put her hands on her hips. "What gives you that idea?"

"You said you were only going out with him because you found out about me and Nancie," James said.

"I never said that," Lily snapped.

"But it's true," James noted.

Lily looked at him but didn't say anything. Eventually she just gave a lame shrug and looked down at her shoes.

James took a step towards her. "Lily," he said calmly.

"No," Lily said with a quiver in her voice.

James had no idea what she was saying no to, but he took another step closer. "I know things have gotten so screwed up between us but I don't like us not being friends." James sighed and lifted her chin up so she was forced to look at him. "I don't like it when we're not together."

Lily tore herself away from his touch and his gaze. "You can't keep doing this."

James dropped his hands by his side and looked at her perplexedly. "Doing what?"

"First you decide you hate me," Lily explained. "And then you start being nice to me. But then you tell me we can't be friends. And then you get jealous over me and Radley and now you want to be friends or whatever again. I can't keep doing this James! I finally start to get over you and you come back into my life."

"You're over me?" James asked.

Lily looked at him and sincerely said, "I'm trying to be."

"Well stop trying," he urged.

She shook her head. "No," she replied with a sigh. "It's just not that easy, James."

"It can be," James pointed out with a hopeful look.

"No," she said forcefully. "No, it can't be. Nothing about this is easy."

"Lily, I can't stand seeing you with someone else," James explained.

"Oh yeah, and it was so easy for me when I found out you and Nancie were together," Lily snorted.

James ran his fingers through his hair nervously. Lily groaned at the sight of him doing this but she turned away so she wouldn't have to look at him. James turned to Lily and sighed. "What are we doing, Lily?"

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"You and me," he explained. "What's going on between us?"

Lily looked up at him, trying to ignore the fluttering in her heart. "Nothing," she lied. "Nothing is going on between us. You're with Nancie and…and I have a date with Bradley on Thursday."

"Radley."

"Whatever," she murmured.

"You can't even remember his name," James pointed out.

"Well you're distracting me," she muttered irritably.

"I know," he pointed out. "And I probably always will. So why can't you and I just-"

"James, don't you get it? There is no 'you and I.' We're over. We've moved on to other people and…" She sighed and shrugged. "I guess you and I just weren't meant to be." It pained her to admit it but saying it out loud made her realize it was true. Clearly, James and her were never going to work so why bother forcing it?

When James didn't reply, Lily turned around to walk away from him, wondering why she felt the need to cry.

"Lily, wait," James said, reaching out and grabbing her arm. "I don't want Nancie. I don't want to move on. I don't want you to go on a date with Radley on Thursday. Because I don't want usto be over."

Lily stood there for several seconds trying to comprehend everything that was going on. "But we are over," Lily said softly.

"What?"

"We've been over for a month and a half now," Lily admitted.

"Well whose fault is that?" James cried out in frustration.

"What?" Lily asked.

"All you had to do was trust me," James said, kicking himself mentally for bringing it up.

"I can't believe I'm hearing this," Lily said. "I wanted to get back together when I realized that I made a terrible mistake but you didn't want to. You wanted me out of your life and now you're gonna stand here and argue about it again? Can't you ever make up your goddamn mind?"

"I have!" James cried out and then sighed, angry at himself for getting angry. James sighed and brought his voice level down. "I want you."

Lily stared up into his chocolate eyes and felt herself becoming more and more vulnerable to his words.

"Please, Lily," he pleaded, his eyes softening. "Give me another chance."

"I can't take it when you hate me," Lily said slowly.

"I don't hate you," James said, taken aback by that response.

"But you did," Lily said. "I hate the look on your face when you're upset with me. I can't take that again."

"I have never had to try so hard to convince a girl that I love her," James said. "This shouldn't be this hard."

"I can't go through this whole process again," Lily said, obviously getting frustrated. "Fall in love with you again, we break up, and then I take another bunch of months to get over you. If we get back together and it ends up badly, I won't be able to handle that again. It's just…easier this way. I'm already halfway over you. I can't start up again and then have it all fall to pieces…again."

"Since when was a relationship easy?" James asked, taking her hands. "I'm in love with you Lily. You hurt me too. The person I loved most in the world didn't trust me. But I'm willing to forgive you and I want to be 'us' again. Don't you want that too?"

Lily turned away from him, uncertainty flashing through her mind. She swallowed hard, wondering what she wanted to do. She closed her eyes and tried to think about the consequences with either decision. Did she want to get back together? Or did she want to go on that date with Radley? Was she tired of getting into the routine with James? Did she want to try out something new and be with Radley?

James let go of her and sighed when he realized she wasn't going to answer him anytime soon. "What's there to think about, Lily?" he asked with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Everything," she muttered.

"I'm not going to wait around forever, you know," James pointed out. "You have to make a decision."

Lily stood there looking at him warily.

"Is it me or Radley?" James asked.

Lily looked at him and the sincerity in his face and voice. She bit her lip and then opened her mouth to respond when she was interrupted with an arm looping around her back. Lily turned her head to see Sirius standing there with his arm around her and the rest of her friends close behind.

"So where have you two been?" Remus asked.

"Yeah, we just found out that Gigi and Sirius aren't only dating, they're having a baby," Kacie said.

"And naming it Peter," Peter said with a grin.

"Whoa, hold up here," Gigi said.

James and Lily didn't tear their eyes away from each other. "Oh," was all Lily could think of to say.

Sirius looked at her strangely. "They're kidding Lils. We're not pregnant."

"Well I'd hope you aren't," Gigi said. "Because that would be a miracle."

"But kind of cool," Remus responded.

"Yeah," James said distractedly, not taking his eyes off of Lily.

"So what did Radley have to say?" Gigi wondered.

"I thought his name was Bradley," Sirius said.

Lily didn't answer her. Probably because she was too busy reading James's body language. She looked into his eyes trying to decide how sincere he was but it was too hard to tell with him being tense because all their friends were standing around. "Fine."

Her friends exchanged confused glances. "Fine? That doesn't answer the question," Kacie pointed out.

"Huh?" Lily asked, finally taking her eyes off of James and looking at their friends.

"Okay, you guys are acting weird," Sirius said. "Which normally wouldn't be so strange but you two are acting weirder than usual."

"No, you're weird," James argued lamely.

"That's the best you got?" Sirius asked with a little laugh. "Nice comeback."

"Asshole," James said.

Sirius gasped and started pouting. "That was just plain mean," Sirius said with a hurt look on his face.

"Okay, let's not just keep standing here," Remus said.

"Let's go upstairs," Sirius suggested. "I don't like talking to the middle of the hallway."

"But you don't have a problem snogging in the middle of the hallway," Gigi teased.

"Depends who I'm snogging," Sirius said with a wink.

"Well I hear Professor McGonagall likes being snogged in classrooms not hallways," Remus said.

"Ew! Not even I would joke about that," Sirius said, taking his arm away from Lily and putting it around Gigi and walking away.

Lily and James once again turned to look at each other but didn't say a word.

Kacie turned around. "You guys coming?"

Lily stole one more glance at James and nodded. "Yeah, we're right behind you." And with that said, she turned her back to James and followed her friends through the hallway.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

what's going to happen now that everyone knows about sirius and gigi? is lily going to give james another chance? is james going to break up with nancie? is lily definitely going to go out with radley again?
