Hello Readers! Thankfully this chapter isn't as short as the last one! I think that it's about time for James to crush on Lily! Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy. Please review!

The next day our lessons commenced. Much to James' and Sirius' delight, we had double transfiguration with our favourite professor first thing.

"Good morning, Minnie!" Sirius greeted as we sauntered into the class. Professor McGonagall frowned at the disrespect he was showing her.

"Take you seat, Black." She instructed, "You too Potter."

James acted as though she hadn't said anything.

"What's that? Aw, we missed you too Minnie!"

"Mr Potter, sit down this instant or I will be forced to give you a detention." Professor McGonagall ordered. James and Sirius promptly flopped to the ground where they sat up, and eagerly looked at their teacher, their eyes alive with mischief.

"Detention, Potter and Black, now take your seats." She commanded. "No Potter, you're sitting in the front row this year." James groaned dramatically and changed direction.

"Now that you are in second year", Minnie began, but I didn't listen to another word.

Our next class was Herbology which passed unremarkably. We were in Greenhouse 3 for the first time. It contained more dangerous and exotic plants which aroused some interest. Peter became the first one to be tripped over by a Windfing Branch.

I can't tell you much about History of Magic because I barely managed to write the title on my parchment (The Gringott's Goblin Strike in 1862) before taking a well-deserved nap. One must not over exhert themselves in History, especially with a teacher like Professor Binns!

Next we had potions in the dungeons. Professor Slughorn was in a jolly mood. He gave us a light-hearted pep talk and asked us to open our books on page 214. We were told to brew a forgetfulness potion. I partnered with Lily, the potions expert, she could probably teach the class better than Slughorn!

I chopped the valerian sprigs into even slices and handed them to Lily. She dropped a handful into the cauldron and crushed some mistletoes berries to get the juice from them. She poured that in too and I lit the flame beneath the cauldron.

We hummed as we worked, chatting nineteen to the dozen. I had forgotten what a great person she was. I caught James staring over at us several times. Was he looking at me? But then I realised who he was eyeing. Lily. Lickle Jamesie Wamsie had gotten himself a lickle crush! I was so going to tease him over this!

After an hour of stirring around the potion which had turned to the sky blue colour as described in our books, Slughorn congratulated us on our hard work and let us off homework. I hi-fived Lily and raced out the door with the Marauders before he could change his mind.

"James Potter", I confronted, "Is there something that you aren't telling us?" The accused turned beetroot red.

"No", he lied.

"I don't believe you!" I sang. Sirius, Remus and Peter were now looking between us curiously. "Is it something to do with a certain red haired person?" Realisation dawned on Remus' face, Sirius grinned madly whilst Peter's puzzled expression clearly displayed his lack of realisation. James on the other hand, blushed even deeper and vigorously shook his head.

"James loves Li-" Sirius chanted.

"Silencio!" James interrupted, performing an OWL level spell with ease. Sirius opened and shut his mouth, but no sound came out. James looked smug. Sirius' face had contorted with rage and he began making hand motions between James and Lily. I distinctly made out a love heart.

We followed James into an old, disused, empty classroom.

"Jamsie luuuuuurves Lilykins! Jamsie Luuuuuurves Lilykins!" I sang, skipping in a circle. Sirius joined in with me and we pranced around the room, screeching at the top of our voices.

"I like her", James corrected.

"Why?" Peter asked curiously. Sirius and I fell silent.

"Why? Why not! I love everything about her, her hair, the way it falls in ripples, the colour of a sunset. Her emerald green twinkling eyes. Her gorgeous laugh and the way she gasps for breath in between giggles. Her intelligence and witty remarks. Her shiny white pearly teeth. Her smile, a smile that lights up the room and makes the world a better place. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to help others. What's not to love about her?" James recited with passion.

We stared open-mouthed at him.

"How long have you been practicing that?" Sirius enquired.

"About 5 months!" James replied. I snorted with laughter.

"Come here, lover boy!" I laughed and gave him a hug. "Look tell Lils what you just told us there and you'll win her over for sure!" James perked up at that.

"Are you sure?" He asked sceptically.

"Positive!" I confirmed, patting him on the back.

"What class is she in now?"

"Charms", Remus answered, "Where we're supposed to be right now!"

"Right!" Sirius proclaimed, "To Charms!"

We raced out of the classroom to the Charms corridor, none of us knowing that the girl that he was about to profess his love for would one day be his wife.
