Hey sorry it's late I was almost done with this chapter on Friday after school but did not quite have it done. Anyways here it is finished and for the public to read.

"Hey I finished the essay. Did you?" Hermione asked, closing her potions book and leaning back in her chair.

"Ya, almost done," Lily said as she wrote down a few more words at the bottom of her parchment paper and closed her book as well.

Hermione and Lily had become good friends in the past few weeks of school. They shared a dormitory room with two girls named Alice and Marlene. They were all good friends but Hermione felt like her and Lily had the strongest friendship. Of course she hung around with Remus more but he was doing something with James and Sirius. She asked him what it was but he would not tell her.

"Ok, you ready?" Lily asked, placing her books in her bag and standing.

"Ya, one moment," Hermione said putting away all her things.

They left the library and started walking quietly to the common room. After a few moments Lily had to break the silence.

"So, what's going on with you and Remus?" Lily asked slyly.

"What! Nothing he's the first person I met on the way here and we became good friends. It goes no farther than that," Hermione said maybe a little too quickly.

"Okay, sure we'll go with that," Lily said sarcastically.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh just that I've seen the looks you two have given eachother while you study," she said

The two remained quiet for a few more minutes and Hermione got the feeling that Lily did not know where they were going.

"Hey, Lily you do know where we are, right?" Hermione slowly asked.

"Ya, the it's right around the corner," Lily said as she rounded the corner, turned around and returned to Hermione's side. "Never mind I think were lost."

"I can't believe you got us lost Lily," Hermione complained.

"Look, I'm sorry the stairs move around a lot," Lily said, at that moment James came around the corner.

"Hey, where are you girls going?" James asked when he saw them.

"Well we were going to the common room till Lily got us lost," Hermione replied giving Lily a pointed look as she said it.

"We were coming from the Library and the stairs moved," Lily explained.

"They do have a tendency to do that. What were you doing in the library on a Saturday?" James asked.

"Studying, it's kind of what you do in a library," Lily answered slowly and sarcastically, "What were you doing in the astronomy tower on a Saturday when we don't have classes?" Lily countered.

"Same as you," James answered quickly.

"What were you studying in the Astronomy Tower at 11:00 in the morning?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"I was studying the mar-agic," James caught himself before he gave away his secret.

"The mar-agic of what?" Lily asked mockingly.

"The magic of friendship?" James tried hoping the topic would be dropped.

"Whatever, can you help us find the common room?" Hermione asked shaking her head. She knew what he was really doing and clearly he didn't want Lily to know. She was helping them at night and let's face it if it weren't for her and Remus they never would have gotten started.

"Ya, come on," James said walking in the direction of the Portrait of the Fat Lady.

The three walked in silence for a few moments and Hermione noticed James was glancing at Lily and appeared to be debating something. James abruptly stopped and looked at Lily.

"Um… L-lily?" James stuttered and ran his hand through his hair, like he does when he's nervous, making it even messier than it already was.

"Yes," Lily replied.

"W-would you go with me to the Halloween Feast?" James asked rushing through the question.

"You mean like on a date?" Lily asked her voice rising as she reached the end of the question.

"Ya, I guess like a date." James said as his hopes of Lily becoming his girlfriend rose.

Lily appeared to ponder the question for a moment looking James up and down. James had a hopeful look on his face and Lily smiled at him.

"That would be my worst nightmare James Potter! We are first years and barley know eachother. Once we know eachother better then maybe I will consider it." She said sweetly and continued walking.

James deflated and slowly started walking to the common room. Hermione sighed and continued walking. She knew James really liked Lily and caught him staring at her constantly, but at the same time she felt Lily had a good point that they did not know eachother well enough to have a romantic relationship.

Hermione walked behind the group deep in thought until she was pulled back to earth by James.

"Hey, Hermione you still there?" James asked.

"What, oh ya I am. I was just thinking."

"What's the deal with you and Remus?" James asked.

Hermione groaned. All the girls in her dorm room and now James were asking her the same question. "Why does there have to be something between us, why can't we just be friends?" Hermione asked exasperatedly.

"Well you two do spend a lot of time together and I've noticed you two sharing glances," James said.

Hermione was glad to see the portrait when they turned the corner and walked up to it and said the password. The Portrait swung open and she walked in right as Remus was walking out and then ran in to him and for the second time fell and landed on him.

"Shut, I'm sorry… Oh Remus," Hermione said when she pushed up and saw who she was on top of.

"He we seem to be falling on eachother a lot. Are you okay?" Remus asked helping her up.

"Ya, ow," Hermione hissed when she put pressure on her left ankle, "No my ankle hurts."

"Here let me help you up to the Hospital Wing," Remus said, wrapping his arm around her waist and walking her out of the common room.

As they walked down the hall in the direction of the Hospital Wing Sirius leaned out the portrait hole and looked at James. The two shared a knowing glance, James with a look that said "I told you so," and Sirius with a look of, "Whatever, just shut up,"

"What are you two smiling about?" Lily said, interrupting their silent conversation.

"Just that out plan worked," Sirius slyly replied.

"You planed for her to break her wrist?" Lily asked with a look of disbelief on her face.

"No but we did plan to have them keep running into eachother like this," James replied, mock surprised that she would assume something like that.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because they are obviously perfect for eachother and already like eachother," Sirius said.

"Okay, have fun playing matchmaker," Lily said, passing Sirius who was still standing in the common room entrance and had yet to choose to stay inside or exit the common room.

Hay hope you liked it. Please tell me what you think, and I enjoy receiving input on how to make it better.
