Hey everyone, enjoy the new chapter :)

Chapter 5

As Emma waltzed upstairs, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Remus, Sirius had asked her out again. Some friend he was. If Emma stole Penelope's boyfriend Penelope would hate her for years. Still Emma couldn't help but feel pleased that he had asked.

As she got to the entrance to her dormitory, she took a few minutes to collect herself.

'Bloody Sirius Black!' Emma shouted while entering the dormitory. Penelope and Lily both rushed up to her, with questions like 'what happened' or 'what has he done this time?'

'He asked me out again, what an idiot; can't he see that I'm dating Remus?' Emma couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach, dating Sirius would come soon, and she knew that was what Penelope was going to say.

'Emma we know how much you hate him, but your going to have to say yes soon' Penelope said while hugging her.

'I don't want to hurt Remus though.'

'I'm sure he will be ok soon' Lily said gently, inside she felt sorry for Remus too. She had seen his face light up when Emma came downstairs; she had seen him blush when he talked to her. He had a huge crush on Emma.

'Maybe we should call this off, we are only meant to hurt Black, not Remus too.' Lily whispered.

'What?' Penelope said as if Lily had said she wanted to be a deatheater.

'Well I'm starting to feel sorry for Remus' Lily stated.

'He'll be okay after he sees that it was only a plan to embarrass Black.' Emma replied, she really wanted to date Black.

The next morning, Lily had woken up early, as she trudged into the common room she saw James Potter asleep by the fire with his charms essay clutched in his hand.

At first she thought 'that idiot, the charms essay is supposed to be finished today and he hasn't even completed it' but then she remembered having breakfast together and finding out what a good person he was.

So Lily Evans, totally out of character, walked over to James shook him awake, which took a good five minutes, and asked him if he would eat breakfast with her. This time there wasn't a reason for her asking him, there wasn't a piece of information she needed, she just wanted to talk with him.

James was ecstatic that she had asked him again, he really loved hanging out with Lily, she was not only a beautiful person on the outside she was beautiful on the inside too. As he loaded up his plate with sausages, eggs and bacon he couldn't help but see that something was troubling Lily. He watched her and couldn't shake the feeling that something was up.

'Lily what's wrong?' James asked cautiously, he didn't want to spoil the perfect time he was having with Lily.

'Its nothing James' Lily said with a small smile.

James was just about to reply, when he felt the need to grab her hand. He moved his hand across the table and placed her hand in his. Lily's breath suddenly caught in her throat. At that moment, to James, no one was in the great hall except him and Lily.

Lily couldn't believe it, how long had she hated him? And there she was holding his hand; suddenly she felt she could talk to him about anything.

'It's Penelope' Lily said quietly.

'What has she done?'

'I really wish I could tell you James but I can't' Lily replied.

Lily thought James would keep asking her what Penelope had done, but he didn't, he gave her an understanding smile and a light kiss on her hand as he said 'I've got to go Lily, the Quidditch match is tomorrow I've got to get some practising in before class starts' with that he got up and bowed at her while she grinned.

'Bye James'. Could it be? Lily Evans liking James Potter? Was it possible?

As Penelope rolled over in bed, she decided they needed another meeting, things weren't going great. But first she decided to leave Lily a note on her bed, she felt bad for last night but she really wanted to hurt Sirius Black like the way he had hurt her.

The note read:

Dear Lily,

I am really sorry about what happened yesterday, but I still think we need to carry on with the plan to bring down Black, he is still going to hurt everyone if no one tries to stop him, I have decided that we will have another meeting tonight in the Room of Requirement, even though you don't agree with what we are doing I still think you should come.

Love

Penelope

The bell rang to indicate that charms had finished, Lily quickly ran to the common room to pick up a book that she had left behind accidentally. She couldn't find it in the common room, so she thought it must have been in her dormitory.

As she looked around her eyes spotted her book. Bingo! As she was leaving she looked over to her bed and spotted Penelope's note, she picked it up and left.

During Transfiguration Lily read and re read the note, she couldn't believe Penelope was still going through with it. Penelope was getting out of control, she was obsessed with Black, and if she wasn't dating him she was thinking up plans to hurt him.

'Lily what's this' James said as he motioned towards her with Penelope's note in his hand. Lily's face suddenly dropped, James knew what was going on. How could she have been so stupid by leaving the note in transfiguration where anyone could have picked it up.

'Oh it's nothing'

'Save it Lily, what are you guys up to? A meeting in the Room of Requirement? Carrying on with the plan to bring down Black? What's this all about?' James asked.

'James please'

'Lily tell me, I won't let any of the girls know, is this why you was upset with Penelope earlier?' James replied gently.

As Lily thought, a feeling from earlier had washed over her, a feeling of being able to tell James anything.

'James it's a long story-'

'Come, lets take a walk' James replied cutting her off.

James was shocked when she had told him, but he was glad that Lily had tried to stop their plan.

'Lily you can't let them go through with it, Remus has had a lot to deal with and this will ruin his friendship with Sirius. You should see how much he loves Emma, he always talks about her' James said pleadingly.

'James, nothing will stop Penelope, Sirius hurt her too much' Lily said sadly.
