Her mouth dropped.

Potter?

Wait! No that was a joke one of the girls jinked the dice! They had to! She couldn't believe it! Potter? No way!

"Lily?" Natalia asked. "Are you Ok? You look like you've just seen a ghost."

"Yeah, F-fine,I'm fine. I'm going to-uh-go on a walk."She picked up her self and walked in a daze to the door. Some of the girls were saying mean things behind her back, but at the time she couldn't have cared less.

It was still pretty early so there were some people out of there dorms. She walked in to the Gryffindor common room. When she saw him.

"Hello, Lils. "Said James. James turned to Lily. She tried to look away but she couldn't. Something about his eyes made her stare too. Then just like magic Sirius came up behind James. Sirius himself looked like he had seen a ghost himself. Sirius then looked at Lily whispered something in his ear, back turned to Lily, apparently Sirius knew that she could read lips.

James nooded at what Sirius had said. Then his mouth dropped and his eyes widened. He looked at Lily as if he had just found out something about her.

Wait. Did he? How could Sirius know? It had happened two minutes ago! But then she remembered, Natalia. Of course.

She was about to run back to her dorm to chew Natalia out but then James grabbed her hand and yanked her out of the dorm. People were starring and pointing at them. How could everyone know already?

"We have to talk. Now." James said in a serious voice. He was still holding her hand. Why? She didn't know. She wasn't trying to get away from him. But she wasn't going to tell him. In all honesty it felt kind of nice. She wouldn't admit it to safe her life, but still.

He dragged her into a broom closet. He picked a good one too. It was the only one on the floor that was being used. There were things all over the floor. Cleaners. Mops. Toilet paper. Everything, but brooms.

"Lily."he stopped he was trying to find the words. "Is it true what they are saying? About the game and you getting my name?"

"Well, yes, but--"

He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in, he hugged her.She sat there for a second confused and then something came over her. It felt really nice, like she was home. She brought her arms around him. She closed her eyes to relish the feeling.

He pushed her back.

"Wow." He said quietly. "Um do you want to go out sometime? Like to Three Broomsticks?"

She looked into his eyes. She would but. . .

She couldn't think, this was all happening so quickly. For goodness sake ten minutes ago she had been worried about her transfiguration home work!

"Yes, but - Don't you want to be friends first?" She asked.

"Well no," said James. Then she started to worry. But he saw the look of her face "If you want to be friends first that's OK with me."

He didn't look OK with it.

Time to get out of the closet, Lily thought.Oh gee did that sound bad.

"Oh no, I need to do my transfiguration home work still!" She said more to her self, then to James, but he smiled anyways.

"Want some help?" James asked as they opened the door.

"Well..."She bit her lip. Yes she did but it was with James, the guy who wanted to me more than friends.

"Let me guess.You've barely started and its due tomorrow right?" He asked.

"Yes but--"She stopped her self. She wasn't in the position to turn down help. Much less from the person with the highest grade in the class."Sure why not?"

"Great! Bring you stuff up to my drom and we will get started." He set off with out saying a word.

His dorm? Was he joking? He couldn't be serious all the guys would be there starring. And the rumors that would go around after that would be horrible!

What was he gonna do? What had she gotten her self into?

On top of that she felt stupid.

She had thought what could five minutes hurt? Now she knew. A whole day. There was a possiblty the week.

At the time she didn't know that roll had changed her life.

But she did know she had some problems to fix.
