Hello Readers! Thanks so much for all of the reviews! This chapter was so fun to write! I would just like to add that I love Lily, but her temper had to come out at some point! Please review!

I do not own Harry Potter

James burst through the door of Professor Flitwick's classroom. Surprise registered on the students' faces and they began whispering to each other.

"Potter, Black, Lupin, Griffon, Pettigrew. What is the meaning of this?" Flitwick demanded.

James strolled straight past the little man and didn't stop until he reached Lily Evans' desk. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out from behind her desk.

"Potter! What in Merlin's name are you doing! Let go of me!" She bustled indignantly.

"Lily Evans. My Lily-Flower." He proclaimed. Lily stopped struggling and fixed him with an icy glare. The Slytherin's didn't even bother to cover their snickers.

"Potter", Flitwick warned. James carried on, ignoring everyone and everything around him.

"You are stunning in every way. Your beautiful red hair that cascades down to your waist like a waterfall of lava." The Slytherins were roaring with laughter. Lily had blushed crimson all over and began to try and wriggle out of James' grip.

"Your incredible emerald green eyes and soft rose petal lips. Your beautiful laugh that lights up the world and your smile…your smile is indescribable."

"Potter!" Lily and Professor Flitwick shouted at the same time. James remained oblivious.

"You are as intelligent as Merlin, Ravenclaw and Dumbledore combined, with a hint of Godric Gryffindor. Your wit and humour captivate me. Every move you make, every word that leaves your lips transfixes me. Lily Evans, I love you. Will you go out with me?" James recited, passion, lust (and love?) filled his earnest hazel eyes and I think that any girl in the world would melt on the spot.

Any girl but Lily.

"POTTER!" She bellowed. "LET GO OF ME THIS INSTANT!" She swiped her arm from his hold and smacked him sharply across the face. The sound of the impact echoed across the room and the room fell eerily silent.

"How dare you embarrass me like this", Lily seethed, her eyes blazing with anger.

"But-" James interjected.

"In front of my class and my teacher", she whispered venomously.

"But-" James attempted to intervene.

"After all the times that you and the Marauders", she spat viciously, "jinxed my best friend, you have the nerve to even think that I would go out with you".

"But-"

"You make me sick! Don't ever speak to me again or I will not be responsible for my actions." She threatened. She turned on her heel and faced Flitwick. "Professor, I apologise on the behalf of this toerag for this disruption to your class." Flitwick's mouth opened and shut but no words came out.

With that she spun around and stormed out of the room. Two seconds later, she stuck her head through the door.

"Oh, and Alice, don't forget to get me the homework." She added before finally exiting in a dramatic fashion, her mane of red girls swinging from side to side.

"Amy, will you please go after her?" Flitwick begged. I nodded and followed the furious girl. Just as I was leaving I heard Professor Flitwick mention some detentions but the love struck boy could not reply. His face was ashen and I heard him leave the classroom behind me.

"LILY!" I bellowed, rushing down a corridor after the distraught redhead, "LILY!" The girl in question skidded to a halt and turned to face me. Her face was red and blotchy from the tears that were spilling down here cheeks.

"What now Amy", she snapped irritably.

"I want to know how you're feeling and what's going through that magnificent mind of yours."

"What I'm feeling right now? I'll tell you what I'm feeling right now! I'm mortified! I can't believe you're nerve! After your little shit of a friend went and showed me up, in front of both Professor Flitwick and the rest of our class!" She ranted furiously. I blinked dumbly.

"Look, Lily, I'm sorry, I really am, but I think that James really does care about you", I reasoned.

"Care for me?" She gave a sharp cold laugh, "Yeah right, he only wants the attention!"

"Lily, please, give him a chance", I pleaded, turning on the puppy dog eyes.

"Give him a chance? Have you gone mental?" Lily asked coldly.

"Please Lily, he's my friend!" I begged.

"Oh yeah, because you and Sev get along like a Nimbus and a Cleansweep! Please!" She retorted. "Amy, I'm fed up of this unnecessary crap. It's time for you to choose. You can either be best friends with me or them. I'm sorry that it's come to this".

I blinked away tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes. How could she make me choose? This wasn't the usual kind-hearted Lily I knew.

"Lils, how can you make me choose? You know that I love you to bits. You're like my sister. The boys, they're like my brothers. How could you?" I sniffed through my blocked up nose.

"I can't do this juggling. I don't want to be second best to them anymore, it's not fair! Who do you choose", she argued.

"I choose them", I decided and I fled, blinded by tears. I heard sobs from behind me.

I flew up to our dormitory, bursting in on a shocked Alice.

"Amy, what's wrong", she asked, concerned. She was such a nice girl.

"Ali, Lily and I had an-um-disagreement, so I'm gonna move dorms", I weeped as she pulled me into a hug. She helped me pack my bags and she was a great help (apart from when she whacked her knee off the bed post!).

I raced up the stairs and tentatively tapped the boys' door. A well-rehearsed chorus of "come ins" replied. Remus was reading, Peter was doing some homework and Sirius was talking to a heart-broken James. They looked up as I entered the door.

"It's only me", I said innocently, "Mind if I camp here for a while?"

They rushed over and Remus instantly enveloped me in a hug as I cried into his shoulder. I explained what had happened (cue more hugs, although James apologised repeatedly). Then they helped me set up my pile of blankets in between Remus' and Sirius' bed.

I didn't get much sleep that night.
