Disclaimer: I don't own the characters!

James and I had been friends for a couple of weeks now and he still hasn't asked me to go out with him. I was sorta thankful that he hadn't but you know, that was his thing and I felt like that he had forgotten that it was his sort of thing to bug me to death.

"What'cha doing?" he asked one night. I was sitting beside the fire in the common room reading. I had the most comfortable chair in the place and he was proboly wanting it.

"Nothing much. Why?" I couldn't help but ask. He always tried to get me to try something new and right now I think that I needed that! Like the other day he "forced" me to ride a broom stick. I almost fell off but since I was riding with him I was fine. I had a feeling that he didn't want me to fall. I knew that if I had fell he would have blamed himself.

"Well, how do you feel about sneaking down to the kitchens to get a midnight snack."

"How late is it anyways?" I lost track of time all the time when I read. I just get so caught up in it that I feel like that I am living the same life as the main character. For some reason I am living the same life with out even reading the book. James is just like the main character's true love. Are we meant to be?? or are we?

"Midnight. So what do you say, midnight snack??"

"Sure why not!" Truth be told I was really hungry I skipped dinner to read and it was catching up on me.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my comfy chair. I dropped my book, sadly. When we exited the tower he draped the Invisibility Cloak on us and took out a strange looking piece of parchment. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." He muttered to it as he put the tip of his wand to it. The whole school suddenly appeared….the Marauder's Map.

"Filch is in his office, good. Peeves is in the third floor corridor. We'll be able to bypass him easily. Don't look so worried. We won't get caught. Well at least I don't think we will." That didn't help with the whole thinking thing. I wanted to one hundred percent sure that we weren't going to get caught. I was worried about how that this would go on my permanent record. Trust me I want a clean permanent record!! Plus I don't want to have detention with James.

"Lumos." I muttered. I really don't like the darkness inside this castle. James looked at me and I just rolled my eyes. He didn't know about the scared of the dark thing yet! I personally don't want to tell him.

"Lily, are you scared??" he teased. I didn't think that it was very nice but you never know there may be ghouls and such behind every corner. I guess you can tell I was raised by muggles.

"No I am not. Are you?"

"No I am not scared. What do you feel like?? Ice cream? Cake? Treacle tart? Milk and cookies?" he asked.

"Milk and cookies." I replied. I can't resist my cookies and milk! I love chocolate cookies. They for some strange reason remind me of James's eyes.

"Me, too." Apparently we reached the kitchens. I had been thinking so much that I had lost track of where we were and the time again. Every time I am around James I loose track of everyone and everything. He had some weird way of dazzling me and making me fall for him when we shouldn't be together. Or are we meant to be?? (A/N: I love asking these strange little questions! And always the answer is yes! Well for now it is anyways! Lol!)

"Lils, welcome to the kitchens!" James said this like it was the most amazing thing in the world. He apparently didn't think that I would ever make it down here. All of the little house elves were just buzzing around. They were all "Miss, would you like some cookies?" it was so cute! Then I realized that they didn't get any wages. I felt so bad for them.

"James, do they get any wages or anything??" I asked.

"Lily, I don't think that they do. Very seldom is there an elf that wants wages but the one I knew passes away a couple of years ago. Old age got to him, I guess." He said staring off into space like reliving an old memory.

"Miss, here is your cookies."

"Thank you. James here you go." I said while dividing the plate in half and pouring us two glasses of milk. Chocolate milk, my favorite. James smiled at the look on my face. I couldn't help but smile. He knew my favorite milk and my favorite cookies.

"You know, James, when you were my stalker it paid off. But I sadly don't know anything about you." I said. I felt so bad about never giving him a chance.

"I know. I got an idea lets play twenty questions." He had a mischievous grin on his face.

"What is your favorite color?" I started.

"Red, yours?"

"Gold. What is your favorite sport?"

"Quidditch, yours?"

"Quidditch. What is your favorite subject?"

"Transfiguration, yours?"

"Potions. Where is your favorite place?"

"Hogwarts, yours?"

"Hogwarts. Who is your closest friend?"

"Sirius, yours?"

"Alice. Who is your best friend of the opposite sex?"

"You, yours?"

"You, too. What is your best memory?"

"You and I flying on my broom, yours?"

"Same here. Do you want to be a Head next year?" We have so much in common that it is literally scaring me!

"Not really, you?"

"Only if you are, because it's either you or Remus. What do you want to be when you get older?" I couldn't help but ask that question.

"Auror, you?" I was shocked at his answer.

"Same here. Do you think that we need to be on our way to the common room?"

"Yep. Moony would have a cow if we didn't show up in time for classes which start in 5 hours." He laughed.

We left the kitchens and kept talking about a bunch of random things on the way up to the tower. I didn't know that we have so many things in common. We both were each other's closest guy and female friend but you know we both had the same memories and favorite place to be. I really like him but I think that he doesn't like me that way anymore. I really hope that he would ask me to that ball again. I really want to go with him, but I think that he has moved on. Why did he do that? Was this friendship what that caused this? All sorts of questions were going through my head. Did I like him a lot? Just as friends? More? I was so confused that I almost forgot to jump the vanishing step.

"Good night, Lils," James said as we started to part our ways.

"Good night, James." I said as I went up to my dormitory. I opened and closed the door quietly to not wake up my friends. I crawled into bed and fell a sleep instantly. I dreamed alright. Guess who the dreams were about? You guessed right James sodding Potter.
