Lily

"That has to have been the worst Hogsmeade trip ever..." I heard the familiar voice of Celine groan.

"More like the best!" I heard Jess sigh dreamily, I stood up as they entered the girls dorm room.

"Well you had perfect Remus, you were bound to have a great time! At least your date didn't go off with his idiotic best friend..." Celine replied to her, only just catching sight of me.

"Hey!" Jess beamed as she come towards me. I grinned back at her.

"How was the trip?" I asked, wanting to know all about it.

"It was great!" She replied, just as Celine muttered that it was awful.

I laughed and shook my head.

"My night wasn't so great either..." I smiled sadly, thinking back to the event which had taken place only a few hours ago.

"Oh yeah, how was the essay? That Alko plant treating you well?" Celine grinned, sitting next to me on my bed.

"You mean the Alkava plant? Yeah, it just loves me." I joked, causing my two best friends to laugh.

"James wasn't on the trip by the way. But Alecia didn't seem too bothered as she snogged the face off Greg Johnston." Celine commented, pulling out a box of every flavour beans and spilling them out onto the bed.

"I know..." I sighed, looking up at Jess to meet her astounded gaze, I could tell she knew what I was going to say next.

"Really? How? I don't think anybody saw Greg coming, I mean, he isn't exactly the best looking guy in the world." Celine laughed, shaking her head as she thought of the posh git that Greg was.

"No, I meant about the James not being there..." I bit my lip nervously as I tried to find the words to explain how everything was so screwed up.

"Oh...how?" Celine tilted her head and surveyed me curiously.

"He was at the library." I answered, keeping my head down and flicking through the every flavour beans to find one that looked nice.

"You should have been there too! Then you could have finally been noticed!" Celine cried, hitting a hand to her forehead as if she had finally cracked the code of the earth.

"I was." I murmured under my breath, causing Celine to stare at me in shock.

"What happened?" Jess asked me, sitting in a nearby chair. I stood up and paced in front of my two best friends.

"I didn't notice him until I tripped and he caught me..." I groaned, collapsing into a chair as I realised how stupid I had been not to notice James Potter sitting so clearly in front of me.

"Oh no...You tripped?" Jess muttered, getting up out of her chair and sitting infront of me beside Celine on the bed.

"Yes...but that's not the worst of it...He talked to me and all I could do was run out of the library for Merlin's sake!" I continued, still shaking my head as I now realised the mortification of the situation.

"Then what happened?" Jess queried quietly. I looked up at her, wanting to cry out for being so stupid.

"He followed me out of the library and walked beside me. And then he told me his name and I-I told him I already knew who he was, making me sound like a complete stalker and I ignored his hand as he reached out to shake mine. And then he asked me my name and I...I..." I began, wanting to throw myself onto the floor and beat the hell out of the red carpet to get rid of my anger.

"You what?" Celine asked, looking at me intently. I looked up and let out a sigh.

"I told him i was Lily..." I stopped fidgeting with my fingers and looked up to be met with a confused glance from Celine and a wide eyed Jess.

"What's so big about that?" Celine announced, not realising what this meant.

"He realised who you were didn't he?" Jess questioned me, still wide-eyed as she realised what must have happened. I nodded and looked back at my sock-covered feet.

"I don't get it..." Celine shrugged, not trying to understand anymore.

"He realised that I was Sirius' soon to be girlfriend...And he stopped following me." I explained, finally realising that Celine wasn't the brightest of people.

"Oh no!" She cried, causing me to groan and put my head in a cushion.

"What am I going to do?" I asked them both, completely lost as I realised James probably wouldn't be talking to me ever again seeing as I was a class A idiot who had fallen on top of him.

"Go out with Sirius." Jess replied quietly, avoiding my startled gaze as i looked up at her.

"What?! After what's just happened? Are you joking?!" I questioned her.

"Remus told me how much Sirius likes you...If you don't go out with him then James is going to have to hate you liked the rest of those Marauders will." She told me, putting a stop to my thoughts.

"Oh Merlin, she's right Lily..." Celine commented no louder than a whisper. As I let out an exasperated moan Jess' head suddenly looked up. I watched as she looked at me thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking?" I asked her quizzically.

"I'm thinking that we have got a plan..."

James

"And then what did he say?" Peter asked as he rolled around on the floor laughing.

"Nothing, I had knocked him to the ground before he had had a chance to speak." Sirius replied, making himself, Peter and Remus all shout with laughter. I watched Sirius carefully as he continued telling us his story of whacking Malfoy on the way back from detention, no way would I lose his friendship over a girl.

"Which is why you can't stop thinking about her..." the voice in my head scoffed as I tried to convince myself she hadn't had any effect on me.

I told it to shut up as I tried to focus on Sirius talking.

"He tried hitting me back but ended up whacking the wall..." He laughed, shaking his head as he grinned at the three of us.

"You should have been there. Best day of my life." He beamed, turning to face me.

"Are you alright prongs?" He asked me quietly as the other two continued to laugh. I snapped back to reality, realising that I had been day dreaming about Lily again.

"Yeah..." I replied, not fully hearing the question as I smiled at him.

"You're thinking about a girl aren't you?" He asked me with a knowing smirk. My eyes widened as I began to panic.

"No!" I cried, sounding slightly hysterical.

"Who is she? Anyone I know?" he continued with a grin. I shook my head, if I said anything I would be screwed.

"Is she fit?" He asked, not letting the subject drop. I was about to nod my head again, finding it easier than words, before something caught my eye. I turned my head and watched as two dazzling green eyes caught my gaze. Lily watched me as I stood up, wanting to go walk over to her and just kiss those amazing lips of hers.

"Lily!" I heard Sirius call out from beside me, I snapped back to reality and looked at my best friend who was now on his feet and gliding over to her side. I turned back to see Lily smiling at Sirius as he took her hand.

"I need to talk to you." I heard him whisper in her ear. My stomach dropped, this was it. The start of his speech about how he wanted to go out with her. I sank back into my chair and looked straight into the lit fireplace beside me, wanting to throw myself into its burning flames. I heard the common room doors open and close, but I didnt let it affect me.

"Alright James?" Remus asked me, sitting in the chair next to me and wathing me with a curious expression.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." I replied to him, looking straight into his amber eyes and hoping that I sounded convincing,

"Liar..." The voice in my head whispered.

"I just wanted to say well done about that essay. I realised that I never congratulated you mate and I felt bad about it, but nice one. Even if you did cheat." He grinned, causing me to laugh and ignore the knot in my stomach which had been building up since Lily had entered the room.

I hit Remus lightly on the arm and he hit me back, causing a fight to begin between us, as usual. I ducked as Remus swung for my head and dragged him to the floor as he kicked me.

"Come on James!" I heard a girl's voice shout encouragingly from somewhere in the common room. I glanced up and saw Alecia Spence looking down at me as I fought with Remus.

I pushed Remus to the ground and jumped as he swung his leg to hit my ankles.

"What do you want?" I asked her through gritted teeth, continuing to avoid Remus hitting out at my shins to try and make me fall.

"I made a mistake James. And I want you to forgive and forget, before going out with me again." She said confidently. I gritted my teeth harder as anger swelled up in my stomach.

"Gay Greg finally admitted he was gay then?" I snapped at her, glancing up at Remus as he got up from the floor.

"Greg isn't gay!" She cried out angrily. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Remus.

"Remus, Greg made a pass at you in third year Transfiguration did he not?" I questioned him. Remus didn't hesitate in answering.

"Me and half of Gryffindor. Not to mention most of the Hufflepuff guys as well." He told her, trying not to laugh as he lied to prove my fake point.

"Well, gay or not, I don't like him the way I like you." She told me, biting her lip gently as she moved to be closer to me. I was about to answer before the Gryffindor common room doors opened and Sirius walked in, closely followed by Lily...

I gritted my teeth and let out a low growl, before pulling Alecia closer to me.

"James..." She purred in a whisper just as I captured her lips and kissed her as passionately as James Potter could.

A clap of applause surrounded the common room and I pulled away from Alecia. I glanced over at Lily to find that she was looking straight back at me.

"Alecia? Go out with me?" I asked, not looking away from my best friend's new girlfriend.

"Yes."
