Thanks to Tayla -vs- Lyla for reviewing the last chapter!

Thanks to Tayla –vs- Lyla for reminding us about Hufflepuff and loyalty and all of that! We have changed it, so if you want to look back at the past chapter, feel free to! We changed Bethany and her whole little group into Slytherin.

Also, to anyone we might have scared away with that anonymous reviewer reply, very sorry!

Ceran, James, & Sirius are on the Quidditch team, we just wanted to leave the tryouts out of the story.

Recap!

"What's up Lily? You seem so distracted lately." Ceran said.

"C, I think I like James." Lily said suddenly.

"What? Are my ears hearing you right? THE Lily Evans likes THE James Potter? No way! Are you serious or just joking with me here?" Ceran asked.

"I'm serious!" Lily protested.

"Since when!" Ceran asked curiously.

"Well, since the whole Waldron thing. I don't know, James just has been showing this totally different side of him! He has been talking to me a lot lately at night in our common room. I don't know, I like this other side of him." Lily said, thinking about James.

"Wow." Ceran said, astonished. "Does Melissa and Crystal know about this?"

"No, please don't tell them either, only you know. Don't tell anyone ok? I am just closer to you and not as close with Meliss and Crys. Just don't ok? Please?" Lily asked.

"Sure." Ceran said, respecting her friend's one wish.

"Hey guys!" Melissa said, suddenly bursting into the room.

"Ah! Finally it is Friday! I have been waiting all week for our Girl's night!" Crystal said.

"Yep! So relaxing eh? Neither of us get any sleep!" Ceran said, chuckling to herself.

The girls laughed and followed their regular 'Girl's Night' ritual, staying up late and talking.

That was a pretty long 'recap' but we just wanted to remind you that Lily is beginning to like James! Now, on with the story!

October 21

Dear Diary,

Sorry I haven't written in forever! Hogwarts has just been hectic. But I have soo much news for you! Remember how I kept saying how James Potter was a cocky, arrogant git? Things have changed. A lot. I think I like him now. But I am not sure, maybe it's just a random crush? Who knows? Well, it is almost time for classes so I have to go.

Until Later!

Lily.

Lily tucked her diary under her bed and got ready for classes. She walked to breakfast in a particularly happy mood, and she had no idea why.

"Hi Lily!" Melissa called brightly to Lily from her seat at the Gryffindor table.

"Hi guys!" Lily replied.

"What classes do we have today?" Ceran asked.

"Charms and Potions." Crystal replied.

"Aw man! I hate both of them. Argh, whatever." Ceran said.

"What! How can you hate Charms and Potions! They are my favorite subjects!" Lily said.

The girls walked to Charms, and found seats near the front of the classroom.

"Agh! I am sooo sore!" Ceran complained as they were waiting for the professor to come.

"Why?" Lily asked.

"I was practicing Quidditch and ballet and doing all my stretches last night before all of you came in." Ceran replied.

"Oh, sucks!" Lily replied.

After their Charms and Potions lessons, Ceran left for Quidditch practice and the girls went back to finish their homework.

"Hey Lily, ugh I am sooo sore! Before practice I was just sore, but now I am SORE! See the difference?" Ceran said, plopping onto Lily's bed after Quidditch practice. Lily was at her desk working on her Transfiguration essay.

Lily looked back at Ceran to reply, but saw that Ceran had already fallen into a deep sleep. Lily got tired of her Transfiguration essay and went out to the Heads common room to think by the fire.

As she walked in, she noticed James already sitting by the fire; she sat in the couch across from him and smiled.

"Hi." James said.

"Hey." Lily replied, smiling. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just bored." James replied.

Lily laughed. "You get bored quite easily eh?"

"Yeah." James said, absentmindedly. "Wanna see something funny?"

"Ok?" Lily said.

James showed her a picture of a girl.

"I thought that was you the first time I saw it." James said, looking at Lily.

"Really? Is that how I look like?" Lily asked, amused. "Where did you get it from?"

"Ceran dropped it on her way out of Quidditch practice. Which reminds me, can you give it back to her for me?" James asked.

"Sure." Lily said, taking the picture. "I don't really look like this do I?" Lily asked.

"No, I just can't stop thinking about you." James blurted out.

"Uh," Lily said uneasily as James moved closer to Lily. "Are you serious? Is that a good or bad thing?"

"A good thing, I think?" James replied.

"No! You are too good for me." Lily said, feeling uneasy.

"No, you are soo much better than me, I am not worthy!" James said. Causing Lily to laugh.

"Did you finish your homework?" Lily said, wanting to change the subject.

"All except Transfiguration, it isn't due until Wednesday." James said. "Are you done?"

"Nope, Transfiguration is taking a long time, it's so hard!" Lily exclaimed. "Hey are you going on the Paris trip during spring break?" Lily asked, referring to the Paris trip that all seventh years were allowed to attend.

"No, I am going to visit relatives in the states." James said.

"Oh." Lily replied.

"Who are you rooming with?" James asked.

"Ceran, Melissa, and Bethany." Lily replied.

"Bethany? Why her? Isn't Crystal going?" James asked, he had a grudge against all Slytherins.

"Yeah, but Alice didn't have anyone to room with, so she is going with Tessa, Allie and Crystal. Crystal offered to go with Alice. So Bethany is the only person left. She isn't that bad you know!" Lily said.

James snorted, and gazed into Lily's dazzling eyes. Lily looked back at his hazel eyes and blushed.

"I really like you Lily." James suddenly said. Lily's eyes widened.

"I think I like you too James." Lily said quietly, blushing.

"Really?" James asked; it was obvious that he didn't believe her because she had denied him so many times before. "I don't believe you. Prove it."

"How do I prove it? Well you make my stomach feel funny." Lily said. "And I don't believe you."

"How can you not believe me? I've been asking you out since first year!" James said.

"Well, I didn't think you meant it, that's why I always rejected you. I thought it was some silly joke." Lily said.

"Nope! Lily Evans! I proclaim my undying love for you!" James exclaimed. Lily laughed. "You know, you still haven't proved to me that you liked me! And I just did!"

"How?" Lily asked.

"Fine, if I were to ask you out again, not as a joke, what would you say?" James asked.

"I would say yes." Lily said, surprising both James and her self.

"Really?" James asked.

"Yep." Lily said.

"What if I asked you to be my girlfriend?" James asked.

"I would say yes." Lily said.

"Really? Are you serious?" James asked.

"Yeah." Lily replied.

"So as of now we are a couple?" James asked incredulously.

"October 21st!" Lily said, feeling strangely brave.

"Wow." James let out a breath and sank back into his chair. He felt like he was the happiest person in the world.

"Erm, it's getting late, I'm going to wake Ceran up and go to sleep. Night!" Lily said, walking to her room smiling.

James looked at her walk back to her room and went to his own room.

Lily opened her door and felt it hit something hard. She looked around her door to see Ceran listening into her conversation with James.

"Ceran!" Lily hissed, closing the door. "How much did you hear?"

"Just about all of it." Ceran replied, beaming like mad.

The girls were silent, and suddenly burst into several screams.

"I can't believe you said yes to Potter!" Ceran said.

"Me either." Lily said, thinking about what had just happened.

"Well, congrats I guess. But for now, I am really tired, so, bye!" Ceran said, walking to the door and yawning. "Oh, can I tell the other girls?" Ceran asked, stopping at the door.

"Sure I guess." Lily said, heading to her own bed. "Night!"

"Night."
