Bit of a longer chapter for you, I think personally. Probably not long enough, but still! Dedicated to my reviewer Skye lol Thank you for the late review! Here's another chapter

James

I awoke to hear Sirius still bragging about his night with Lily.

"Merlin her legs are so long and…flexible…" I could almost hear his face cracking from the huge grin he wore.

I gritted my teeth and got out of bed, swinging my legs over the side and standing up on the cold stone ground. I winced as my feet slowly went numb from the cold, before going over to my suitcase and grabbing some clothes that I could quickly change into.

As I pulled my jeans on, words of Sirius' conversation kept echoing towards me, as if to torture me and remind me of what I'd lost.

"She's just so damn sexy you know? Merlin…I love her. It's official. I've been whipped, bought, taken, stolen, you name it. That babe has officially got me on hold." Sirius was announcing to the dorm. I shoved on some socks, before running out of the room, grabbing a pair of sneakers with me.

No way was I going to just sit there waiting for him to explain every little detail of his night to me.

As I reached for the door handle, about to leave this room of murmurs and announcements, something Sirius said caught my attention.

"What did you say?" I asked him curiously, my mouth wide as I gaped at him, thinking I had heard wrong.

"I said that Tasha is one hell of a good shag, same as I've been saying for the past three hours. Keep up mate!" Sirius replied, causing an outbreak of laughter throughout the group of guys gathered around him.

"Tasha?" I said quietly, my heart thumping slower than snail pace as the feeling of dread welled up inside me.

"Yes. Tasha. I swear you need to start listening more James." Sirius grinned, before going back to the group before him and telling them all the details of his previous night.

I felt my heart thud down to my feet. What had I done? I scrambled to get my sneakers on, before hurriedly running from the common room to try and find the girl whose green eyes haunted me in my dreams.

Lily…Please forgive me.

Lily

As I headed for Potions, dreading who I was about to see, I was knocked to the ground by a tall figure running straight into me. I looked up and my gaze locked with two clear blue eyes.

"Merlin, I'm so sorry! You alright? Such in a bloody hurry to get to class I wasn't looking where I was going." The guy laughed apologetically, reaching his hand out to help me up. I took it, smiling back at the grinning boy.

"I'm fine." I smiled, not realizing that his hand was still holding mine.

"I'm glad to hear it…" He murmured, reluctantly letting go of my hand and continuing to watch me intensely. I cleared my throat, forcing myself to stay calm, but not being able to as the sea of blue held me in its depth.

"Bye then." I said quickly, interrupting the silence which had fallen between us. I hurried past him, keeping my head down and breaking the strange connection between us.

"This is just stupid Lily," The voice in my head began to mutter, "First Sirius, then James and then…You don't even know his na-!"

I paused as a shiver shot up my arm. I glanced down to see that the guy had taken hold of my arm gently.

"I'm Edward, a Ravenclaw, as the blue suggests." I looked back up at him as he let go of my wrist, but did not make a move to leave.

"Bye then." My nervous self got the better of me and I sprinted for Potions, having completely forgotten about the two people who were going to be there. I entered the classroom on high spirits, now I had a new guy to worry about and no more James Potter! Could life get any better?

No, but apparently it could come crashing down…

I looked at the desk where Alecia was supposed to be sitting in the chair next to mine, but all I saw was a smiling James. I paused, before walking over. I wasn't particularly in the mood for playing games with him today, or any other day for the rest of my life for that matter.

I sat in my seat, not even looking at Potter as I took out my books, slamming them down on the desk and making him jump slightly. In the corner of my eye I could see him watching me, hesitating to say something.

"Lily-" He began, leaning closer to me as he whispered in my ear. I ignored the pleasant shiver playing down my spine and turned to look at him, sending him a cold stare.

"Don't." I told him through gritted teeth as I tried not to explode with anger. No way was he getting away with treating me the way he did…

"But Lily-!" He continued, attempting to start a conversation with me again.

I repeated my previous words and looked around for Alecia Spinster, wondering why the hell she wasn't next to me, before catching sight of her sitting next to Christian Slate and flirting madly with him.

"You paid Christian to ask Alecia to sit with him?" I asked James in disgust, avoiding his gaze for the sake of my knees not melting.

"No! I would never to such a thing!" He replied quickly, an incredulous expression on his face. I withheld myself from letting out a snort, not wanting to seem like a…a guy, before hearing him say something else.

"He owed me a favor…" He grinned. At this I turned and looked at him with wide eyes, not believing my ears. James looked at me, only just realizing that he had said this out loud.

"I need to stop thinking out loud." He joked nervously, running a hand through his hair and messing it up even more than it was before.

I didn't say anything as I looked into his eyes. He continued to gaze at me, the nervous grin slipping off his face as he watched intently at my lips.

Slowly, very slowly, James started to lean in towards me. Any second now and he would capture my lips. I would have my happy ending and agree to go out with him when he asked me; just that one kiss would make me fall for him like all the rest of the kisses had…

"Right Students! Let's get to work."

Sirius

I had watched James for the three periods of Potions and it was only now that I saw what was going on. James's arm gently touched hers, causing her to flinch away and for me to grit my teeth.

"Hey," The voice in my head began to remind me, "You're the one who slept with another girl while you were going out with her."

I bit my tongue and turned back to face the front of the room, just as another small voice in my head began to express its opinion…

"Lily doesn't know you slept with Tasha…"

I stopped dead, no longer listening to the rambling professor as thoughts of what could be going on revolved around my head. Maybe Lily fancies James… Wait…Maybe James likes Lily back? I paused in my thinking, looking back at Lily and James, seeing James watching her intently as she tried (but failed) not to notice him.

I scratched my head thoughtfully, not knowing what to say as I watched Lily pointedly ignore Jamesy, and I continuing to try and put two and two together. But ending up with thirty seven. Eventually though, the answer dawned on me.

"You cheated on her, the least you could do was put the loved up pair together." My mind decided, as I turned back to my work, noticing that everyone was working much harder than me.

"Then again…"

Lily

As the bell rang I threw myself out of my chair and sprinted for the door, never more eager to leave my favorite subject.

"Lily wait!" I heard James shout from behind me, probably sprinting after me. I didn't turn around as I continued to run, hoping not to be held back by the waves of first years filing out of their classrooms.

As I ran down one particular corridor I felt my arm being caught from behind me.

"James let go-!" I began to shout, the tears rolling down my cheeks as thoughts from the previous night ran through my head. How he had shouted at me and told me I had been wrong…

"Hey, it's alright! Calm down…" A low and soothing voice whispered in my ear. I turned round to find Edward standing there, holding my arm softly so as not to hurt me.

"Let's go to the Astrology tower, we can talk there." He smiled warmly, putting an arm around my shoulders as he walked me in the direction of the tower.

"No, please not there, that's where it all happened…" I said quietly, stopping in my tracks and realizing that if I went there I would simply be flooded with memories of yesterday night's events.

"In here then," He replied, opening a door which led to an empty classroom.

"Right, so, firstly you have to tell me your name. Since you didn't bother when I met you earlier this morning." He grinned pulling out a chair for me and letting me sit down. I thanked him, choking on tears, before sitting down. He sat opposite me on one of the desks.

"I'm Lily, Lily Evans." I smiled at him, pleading with myself not to let another tear slip.

"Right, well, do you want to talk about why you ran past me crying?" Edward smiled, tilting my chin up so I was forced to look into his gaze.

And before I could stop myself I ended up telling him my life story, telling him everything which had happened between me, Sirius and James. For the most part he stayed quiet and listened to me, only once interrupting to ask me who Alecia Spinster was.

And that was it.

Fin.

In less than five minutes I had just explained my life story to a total stranger who I didn't know the last name of.

"Well…My girlfriend dumped me for my older brother?" He joked after a moment's silence. Despite my tears I found myself laughing, smiling up at him as he watched me with a small smile.

"I'm glad you found it funny, I was furious!" He continued, sitting very close next to me. Another burst of laughter and twenty minutes later I was exiting the classroom with Edward as if we had been best friends for years.

As we walked down the corridor, I had the strange feeling that someone was watching me, but after turning round and checking I found nothing and no one there. I shrugged slightly before resuming my talk to Edward about Professor Slughorn.

But still I felt that someone was watching us. I ignored the feeling.

"Lily, this is you imagining things. Just like when you imagined James loved you…Remember how that turned out?" I thought to myself quietly, shaking my head and continuing to walk.

Imagining James loved me…how stupid was I?

R/R please! Hope you enjoyed it! A lot of stuff was thrown in here, like Sirius and his thoughts, and that Edward guy lol. Hope you liked it ok though xxxNoemiexxx
