So here it is, please dont hate me too much and enjoy!

Sirius stretched his body as he woke up. Sirius was tired. But something inside him had awoken him. Sirius was never one to wake up first, so he was shocked to see no one else was awake. Sirius got up and walked to the bathroom to have his shower, but stopped as he saw James sleeping in a sitting position next to Lily's bed, with Lily clinging onto his arms and her face pressed against his shoulder.

Sirius ran to his trunk and pulled at a Polaroid camera that James had given him for Christmas. Sirius never told anyone, but he loved photography. Sirius then ran back to the two and snapped a quick shot of them sleeping. Sirius had to tell Dumbledore.

He ran out of the room and down the stairs, his camera still around his neck. He made it down the stairs, but fell back. He had collided with someone. On the floor was Dorcas Meadowes. Sirius frowned. The girl before him wore glasses. Dorcas didn't wear glasses.

"Dorcas?" Sirius asked. Dorcas looked up. Besides the glasses, something about her changed. He just didn't know what. Dorcas looked up and nodded.

"Yeah, it's me," Dorcas said. Sirius smiled. He stood up and then helped her up. When Dorcas was on her feet, Sirius asked her a question.

"I didn't know you wore glasses," Dorcas blushed.

"Oh, yeah, I don't usually wear them, just contacts," Dorcas muttered. In all honesty, Sirius liked Dorcas with her glasses. The thick black glasses framed her eyes nicely. She looked beautiful with them on.

"I think you look lovely," Sirius smiled. Just realizing his camera, he took a picture. The picture came out and Sirius flapped it. A beautiful coloured picture of Dorcas came out. Dorcas peered at it.

"If you don't mind, I would like to keep it," Sirius said. Dorcas smiled.

"Of course, Sirius, you can use it whenever you want to get rid of an unwanted bed intruder," Dorcas winked at Sirius and laughed. She walked up the girls' corridor. Sirius frowned. He didn't like the fact that she thought he would use it to scare away the girls he slept with.

But no less, Sirius left the Common Room and ran to Dumbledore's office. He was eager to show Dumbledore the photo of Lily and James together.

When he arrived at Dumbledore's office, Sirius said the secret password for their James and Lily fan club.

"Jily." The doors opened and Sirius walked inside.

Dumbledore sat at his desk reading a peculiar book.

"What is this? It's quite horrid. The words are illiterate and portray no message," Sirius peered down at the 'book' he was holding.

"Professor, that's a menu," Dumbledore smiled and looked through the pages.

"So it is," Dumbledore chuckled. He peered up at Sirius.

"How may I help, Sirius?" Dumbledore asked. Sirius beamed at the aged wizard. He showed Dumbledore the picture in my hand.

Dumbledore looked down at the picture. James was on the floor, his back leaning on the side of Lily's bed. Lily was curled on her side, clinging onto James' arm and her head resting on his shoulder.

Dumbledore snatched the photo off of Sirius and beamed.

"My boy, this is perfect! We must show the school! Then they will be forced to be together!" Dumbledore exclaimed. Sirius shook his head.

"No, no, no Al! That would just drive them further apart! We just have to keep this as a reminder for what we are fighting for!" Sirius said. Dumbledore pouted, but soon agreed.

The two, for what seemed like hours, discussed and 'fangirled' about James and Lily

Lily woke up rather comfortably. She had never felt this comfortable since she was a child. It wasn't the position that she was in that made her feel at ease, rather, her insides. She could feel her Patronous in her growing warmer and warmer, as if its soul mate were lying next to it.

Lily's eyes widened and she flung up. She looked down and saw Potter by her bed, still asleep. The night before came tumbling into her head.Crap, she thought. She remembered how she begged for Potter to stay by her side.

She silently swore, but still headed to the bathroom to have her shower.

Peter Pettigrew was not in his dorm all night. No, he was with Sarah Lockhart in the Astronomy Tower. He had no idea why, but girls had begun to pay attention to him.

"Pete, do you think it was the right thing to do. I mean, breaking up with Regulus? He was cute, and everything. Plus he respected me, but then again, I just don't think we would've lasted. You know?" Sarah confessed. She inched closer to Peter.

"You know, I kinda think it was the right thing to do. Considering I like someone else," she said seductively. Peter gulped. He didn't like where this was going.

"Really, and who may that be?" he stuttered.

Sarah smiled evilly.

"You, of course," she said before kissing him. Peter was shocked to say the least, but he didn't argue. He just let the kiss take its toll into other territory.

James woke up, with no Lily, no Sirius, no Peter and no Remus. James was confused to say the least.

He heard voices coming from the bathroom.

"Lily, are you sure it's okay for me to be in here?" Remus asked. James shot up and put his ear to the door. He heard the tap to the shower turn on and Lily's muffled voice.

"But, Lily, you're having a shower, I don't think it's appropriate for me to be in here," Remus replied.

More muffled voices on Lily's end.

"Um, Lily, your towel fell off, I can see your privates." There was a girly laugh before James barged down the door.

"DON'T YOU DARE LAY YOUR FILTHY EYES UPON THE HEAVENLINESS OF LILY ROSE EVANS!" James roared. His wand was pointed at Remus, and his back was turned to Lily. James felt a nerve pop out from his forehead. His eyes shot daggers into Remus. But before he could hex Remus, Remus burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" James shouted. Remus pointed to behind James. James turned around and saw nothing, or rather, no one.

"I made the whole thing up, Prongs. Lily left half an hour ago. Breakfast is starting soon, so you better get dressed. Remus exited the bathroom wearing his full uniform. James was flabbergasted. Remus had just pulled a prank, without anyone else's help. James gape was then formed into a smirk.

Good on him.

James had finished getting ready and rushed down to the Great Hall. He was surprised to find that he was there before Lily. He furrowed his eyebrows and sat next to Sirius, who was opposite to a stunning girl.

The girl looked familiar, but no one James knew came to mind. The girl had straight-wavy hair and a fringe that were just above her eyebrows. The girl smiled at James.

"Hello, Pots," the girl said. James smiled immediately. There was only one girl that called him Pots, and one girl who had such a clear and strong voice.

"Dorky!" James cheered. He leaned over the table and hugged his childhood friend. Dorcas had grown up with James because of their parents being close friends. James felt shocked that Dorcas had finally turned from a caterpillar to a butterfly, but at the same time, he felt protectiveness come over him.

Not one of lust, one of paternal instinct. As he sat back in his seat, he swivelled to the Ravenclaw staring at her. James gave the Ravenclaw a look he saved for the boys who fancied Lily. A look that said, 'You touch, and you die.

Dorcas saw the look and rolled her eyes.

"Honestly, Pots, he's a fourth year! Leave the boy alone." Dorcas laughed. Sirius frowned.

"Why do guys keep looking at you?" Sirius asked. James gaped at him and Dorcas raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, look, Lily!" Dorcas said rather awkwardly. She stood up and left. James elbowed Sirius in the gut. Sirius wheezed but was still fine.

"What was that for?" Sirius asked.

James rolled his hazel eyes.

"Idiot, look at Dorcas. She's beautiful! Stunning! And you practically just said she was still the same!"

"Mate, she still looks the same to me!" Sirius hissed. And Sirius wasn't lying. He honestly thought Dorcas looked the same. James looked at Sirius cautiously. But nodded his head slowly. James felt someone push him over, whish he obliged to.

Probably Moony, James thought.

"Honestly, Potter, I don't take up that much room," a silky voice huffed. James turned with great speed that he felt himself get a bit dizzy.

"Lily! You're sitting with me!" James beamed. Lily rolled her eyes, but a small smile was on her lips.

"Don't get used to it, Potter. Dorks wanted to sit here," she countered.

"But you decided to sit next to me," James smiled. He had her there. But instead of cursing him, like she usually did, Lily laughed.

"Guess I did, Potter, didn't I?" Lily looked down at her food and started eating. As she ate, she hummed a song.

James automatically knew the song. It was one he heard many times over the Summer. The song Lily would sing every night.

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy,
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to me.
But it was Just my imagination,
once again runnin' away with me.
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me. Oo

Soon we'll be married and raise a family (Oh yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children maybe three.
I tell you I can visualize it all
this couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems;
But it was Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.

Ev'ry night on my knees I pray Dear Lord, Hear my plea;
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die.
Her love is heavenly, when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody; but in reality she doesn't even know me.

Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, can't forget her
Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.

James grew to love the song. He felt as if it was written just for him. This song just had to be about him and Lily. It just had to. Lily looked up from her food and saw James staring at her. She blushed and started eating again. James leaned in closer to her.

"But it was Just my imagination, running away from me," he sang. Lily blushed even more. She stood up abruptly.

"It was great to see you, Dorky. But I'm afraid I forgot something… somewhere. I'll see you all in class!" Lily rushed out of the Great Hall. James wanted to run after her, but Sirius hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"Mate, let her cool off," he whispered.

Lily sat in her seat for Potions. It was her favourite subject. Lily sighed as she had sufficiently avoided Potter for the whole day. She didn't think her poor heart could take him being around her so much.

"Hi, Evans! Seems we're the only Gryffindor's here!" Potter said as he sat next to her.

No! She thought. No, Remus is taking Advanced Potions, and so is Jess!Lily thought desperately. She knew for sure Mary and Dorcas were taking it.

"Oh, Evans, I know what you're thinking. Check your timetable. We're in the advanced AdvancePotions. Only two from each house can be chosen for this class, and we're the only two,"

Lily began to hyperventilate.

"No, I'm not even that smart! How come I'm here?" Potter laughed.

"Oh, Evans, Slughorns impressed with you, that's why. Plus, in order for you to be a Head, you have to be in at least one Advance. And it so happens to be Potions," Potter winked at Lily. Her heart fluttered, but her brain screamed for something else.

This was not good. If Lily had to sit and talk and be near Potter in class, then she wouldn't be able to concentrate at all! Slughorn walked in at once, his books and papers covering his face.

"Sorry, class. I'm a bit late, aren't I? Oh, look how small this class is! Quite small, quite small," Slughorn seemed to be talking to himself around the end.

"Well, today we will be studying the many potions that are related to the heart! Not just any though, I want only the strongest! Does anyone know the top five?" Slughorn asked. No one put up here hand, so, grudgingly, Lily did so herself.

"Yes, Miss Evans?" Slughorn asked, pleased.

"I believe they are Amortentia, Clearaco, Veritaserum and the only one I can think of now is Testamone," Lily said. Slughorn smiled at the red head.

"Very good, very good. 20 points to Gryffindor! And another 20 points to anyone who can guess the last!" Slughorn said. Potter raised his hand quickly.

"Patronous." He said simply. Lily looked at him as if he were crazy. Patronous was a part of ones soul, not a potion.

"Perfect, 20 to Gryffindor. The potion, Patronus, is one we will be doing this month. Now, take out your textbooks and turn to page 394! Perfect, Miss Diggory, please read!"

Caitlin Diggory began to read. Her blue-yellow eyes twinkling as she was called to speak.

Lily did not pay attention to Caitlin, though. Instead, Lily read ahead, so she could grasp the full meaning of the potion.

The Patronous Potion, much like the spell, allows one to re-live their happiest moments; through song; quote; book etc. The Patronous also lets one live happily for a time frame. Everything that happens that brings a smile or some sort of happy feeling will summon ones Patronous form. Once the Patronous is in solid form, and one is still under the potion, everything that comes out of ones mouth is a purely happy thought.

Lily gulped. She would not like this potion at all.

"Thank you, Miss Diggory. Now, before we begin to study and brew the potions ourselves, I have made a batch for two lucky people to try out. The two selected will drink this, and for 24 hours, the Patronous will be placed on them! Then, once the two come back to class, they can tell us all about it. Mr Potter, Miss Evans, I think you two should be the ones to try it!" Slughorn smiled.

Lily's stomach fell and she felt a large wave of anxiety hit her. She wanted no part with the potion. If she drank it, everyone one would know her Patronous, and better yet Potters!

Slughorn waved the two up. Potter got up immediately and practically ran to Slughorn, whereas Lily walked; unanxious and unenthusiastic about it all. When she is up there, Slughorn hands her the potion. Before he can say go, Lily gulps it down, The taste of honey and chocolate goes down her mouth, and she suddenly feels happy. She silently curses herself as a flash of light blur light shines in the room. Lily's heart feels as if it is opened, and suddenly, a doe is beside her, nudging and licking her hand. Lily smiles at the doe next to her.

A stag walks past the doe, and a hand is next to hers. Lily looks up and sees Potter smiling down at her. Lily can't help herself, she smiles at Potter too. Potter is taken aback at Lily's smile, but still smiles lovingly at her.

"Would you look at that! You two are soul mates, aren't you?" Slughorn asked. Lily just nodded. The bell rang over. Lily ran out, followed by her doe. James just stood there, thinking how fast the class had gone.

Lily sat in an empty corridor with no one but her doe. For some reason, Lily felt compelled to kiss James. No! His name is Potter!

Her doe looked at her funny. Lily nuzzled her nose in the doe's fur. It was going to be a tough 24 hours. Lily heard footsteps. Soon, Sarah Lockhart come into view. Sarah's long blonde hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her abnormally short skirt was even shorter today, and her tight shirt was even tighter.

"Hi, Lily!" Sarah chimed. It was strange for Sarah to be doing this. Sarah and Lily didn't like each other at all. Sarah sat next to Lily.

"Lily, I was given chocolates by one of my many fanclub members. Since Ihave to look presentable, why don't you eat them?" Sarah didn't wait for an answer. She shoved the box of chocolates to lily before leaving.

"Bitch," Lily muttered.

"Do you think I should admit my feelings for James?" Lily asked her doe. The doe tilted its head. Lily sighed.

She opened the box and took out a chocolate. She threw it in her mouth and swallowed it.

"I really like him, but it's just so weird. You know, especially since I thought I hated him and-" Lily was cut off with a sudden thought.

"What do you think the Astronomy Tower looks like?" Lily said dreamily.

"Come on, Doe. Let's have a look,"

oooooh! What's going on here?

Who is taking a liking to Sarah Lockhart? ANyone? heeheehee... Let's just say, i have BIG plans for her!

And the Patronus! MWahahaha, i did make that one up!

The song mentioned is called

'Just My Imagination' by The Temptations
