Chapter 3: Forgive and Forget

Lily didn't come out of her room the next day. Hermione stood at the door for 2 hours trying to get her out, but to no avail.

Downstairs in the common room Ron, Remus, Peter, Sirius and James were sitting and talking.

"Just go and apologize" suggested Remus.

"I hurt her way to much to just go and apologize." Said James glumly.

"It's a start. Whenever I do something to Hermione or Harry, I start by apologizing." Ron said blushing.

"Ron and Remus are right. You have to start somewhere." Said Sirius.

"You could give her flowers" suggested Peter, who didn't have much experience with girls.

"Maybe" James mumbled.

"You could give her lilies" said Ron, clearly proud of himself.

"Yeah mate, give her a bouquet of lilies and apologize" said Remus.

"Alright, I guess." James said moodily. He conquered a bouquet of flowers and headed towards the girls dormitories.

Just as he was leaving Sirius muttered "Changis heter pink".

James hair turned a bright pink color as he headed up the stairs. Sirius, Remus, Peter and Ron laughed quietly as they watched him go.

"Where's Harry?" Remus asked.

"Quidditch Practice" Ron replied.

"That's good. It might be better if he's not here to listen to the fight." Said Peter simply.

"What do you-" Ron was cut off before he could finish.

"JAMES HAROLD POTTER!" they heard Lily scream.

"Lily, I know I shouldn't have said that-"

"So you think that you can just come up here and apologize and everything will be fine!" Lily screeched.

"That fight" said Peter boredly, as though he had heard this before, which he probably had.

"And why does it concern Harry?" Ron asked over the screams of James and Lily.

"And what about Harry? You didn't think of that did you!" roared James.

"That's why." Said Peter still bored.

"Hmph!" said Ron, listening to the yelling upstairs.

James was walking upstairs with the lilies in his hand. Then he saw Hermione talking to Lily through the door.

"Hermione, where's Lily?" he asked timidly,

"Oh, she's in the dormitory. She flat out refuses to come out." Said Hermione.

"Oh… Lily? Will you let me in please?" James asked calmly. "I just wanted to- ahhhh!"

Lily had opened the door, pulled James in by the shirt and then shut the door again, all in about a matter of 4 seconds.

"JAMES HAROLD POTTER!" she screamed.

"Lily, I know that I shouldn't have said that-"

"So you think that you can just come up here and apologize and everything will be fine!"

"No, I just thought that I would come and talk to you and we could figure something out."

"Well you thought wrong! I will never like you! I will never love you! And I will never marry you!"

"And what about Harry! You didn't think of that did you!" James roared.

"What about Harry?"

"He's our son. Which means…" James trailed off.

"The future can still be changed." Lily said, not screaming for the first time.

"No Lily –flower, it can't. This is the future." said James soothingly.

"Don't call me that, this is serious."

"No, Sirius is downstairs in the common room." Said James grinning.

"James!" said Lily, hitting James in the head with a pillow.

"C'mon, lets go downstairs." Said James offering his hand to Lily.

"No, I don't want to go down." Said Lily, burying her face in a pillow.

"OK"

"Sorry for snapping."

"Sorry for last night and yelling today."

"Its ok"

"So what do you want to do?"

"Sleep"

"So sleep"

"I can't, that would be rude"

"Lily, go to sleep."

"Fine." Lily said.

James hesitated and then decided to stay and make sure she really slept.

"James, aren't you going to go downstairs?" asked Lily.

"Nope, I'm going to stay right here until I make sure you actually sleep.

"Sure" Lily mumbled.

James went over to lay down on the closest bed and watch Lily. Lily's breathing got slower and more even and James looked over to see Lily asleep.

"Sweet Dreams love" he whispered and walked over to kiss her forehead.

James fell asleep after watching Lily, neither one caring what would happen when someone found them or what the consequences might be. All that mattered was that moment and James' thoughts of how maybe this would work after all.

Hermione walked down the stairs.

"Hey, how are James and Lily?" Remus asked.

"I don't know. I left after the yelling stopped."

"That was officially the shortest James-Lily fight ever. I'm shocked." Said Sirius.

"Maybe we should go check on them" said Ron getting up.

"No. They need to sort this out without our help" said Hermione.

"But what if-"

"No" she said finally.

"It's time for dinner, lets go." Said Sirius, always the first one to recognize dinner time.

"Does someone want to go tell them?" asked Peter.

"No. Lets go" said Remus.

The 6 of them left for dinner.

Lily and James slept for 3 hours. Eventually Hermione needed to change into pajamas, so she headed up to the dormitory.

"Err… Sirius, Remus, Peter, Ron, Harry!" she called over her shoulder, trying not to wake James and Lily.

All of the boys ran up to the dormitory.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" said Sirius grinning from ear to ear.

"Sirius!" Hermione scolded.

"C'mon lets wake them up." Said Remus.

"Aguamentai!" said Sirius.

James and Lily were drenched and very much awake.

"What was that for?" James asked angrily.

"You weren't waking up on your own." Said Sirius shrugging.

"Black, I'm gonna kill you!" said Lily.

James whispered something in Lily's ear. She smiled broadly.

"That works too!" she said happily.

"So which of you wants to explain this?" said Sirius sounding malicious and grinning evily.

James and Lily both turned to look at each other and gulped.

They were in for it now.

Hello readers (she says weakly),

I do believe that an extremely extensive apology is due for not updating for so long, but I've had some stuff to sort out lately and I just haven't been finding the time to type. I have chapter 6 done already, but do you have any idea how boring it is to type up something that's already been written, very boring. Anyway, a stroke of brilliance came upon me today and I know exactly where this story is now headed, but I'm not telling.*laughs evilly* However I am going to be beginning to posting sneak peaks into the next chapter at the end of every chapter. Oh and by the way, thanks a million to those of you who reviewed and those of you who didn't, please review!

Anyway, about the chapter. I felt like there should be some more Lily/James, so that's what is there. I am also planning some Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione drama soon. And as soon as I get around to writing it, the whole story takes an interesting twist, very different.

Anyway, if you hate me, review. If you love me, review. If you can't decide… then I don't wait for procrastinators, get off my story!

Your very loved and not at ALL procrastinating author (you can tell by how long it took me to update),

OH MY GOSH! I ALMOST FORGOT! Your preview for the next chapter. Here it is:

Lily hopped down the stairs to the common room the next morning. James was waiting for her.

"Lets go Lily." He said, offering her his hand.

She took it and said "Alright. I want to have a good seat for when Sirius admits his love for a Slytherin… and then Professor McGonagall. " Lily laughed.

Right then so KayKay is back and James does reply, but I don't think I'm gonna tell you what he says, sorry! Guess you just have to wait until the next update.*laughs evilly again*

And again, Your very loved and not at ALL procrastinating author,
