AN:/Hey there guys, firstly, I'd like to say thank you for all of the reviews, follows and favourites so far...I never imagined this story would be so popular! I really enjoy writing it and i'm glad you all seem to be enjoying reading it!
First part of this chapter is James' POV.

James Potter refused to move. He was lying on his bed with his face stuffed under the pillow. He could tell Sirius, Remus and Peter were all watching him. Sirius was probably smirking.
"Listen, Prongs." James heard Remus say, though his voice was distorted. "I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you didn't exactly handle that very well did you?"
James looked up, only to glare at the sandy haired boy.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Moony." He grumbled.
"Well, it's the truth!" Remus defended. "You treated her like hippogryff dung."
"I didn't mean to!"
"Well, telling a girl that no one would ever want to go out with her and saying she was obsessed with you, not really the best way to make her fall in love with you, right?"
James dropped his shoulders. Remus was, as usual, one hundred percent right. He had no idea why he had been so rotten to her. He'd actually planned to agree to be friends, and make up with her. Now, Lily probably hated him more than ever.

James groaned and put his face back against the pillow.
"What should I do?"
Sirius grinned. "Forget about her for now! Melinda is having a huge summer party next week, you can get a little drunk, snog a couple girls…your problem is solved!"
Remus rolled his eyes. "That's your solution to everything, Sirius."
Sirius nodded solemnly. "Yep. Fail a potions exam? Drunken snog.
Minnie gives you another detention? Drunken snog. Having a slightly bad day in general?"
"Drunken snog?" Peter said hopefully.
"Sorry Pete, 'fraid I don't swing that way." Sirius winked. Peter blushed.

"Sirius, stop winding Peter up." Remus scolded.
James tuned out their usual bickering. Maybe he should go to Melinda's party. But what if Lily was there?
What would he do then? He supposed he could apologise, but he doubted Lily would forgive him anyway.

"Clearly James doesn't want to go to the party Sirius," Remus was saying. "He's been moping for two days straight now, I hardly think-"
"I'll go." James said suddenly.
The marauders looked over. "You will?" Sirius said excitedly.
"You will?" Remus said, looking displeased.
"Yeah sure! I can't spend the rest of my life chasing a girl I am never going to get." He paused. Sirius and Peter were grinning.
"Marauders? I think it's time I got myself a girlfriend."

Lily looked at the pile of letters on her desk. They were mostly from Marlene, Alice and Hestia, but a few crudely worded notes from Sirius Black appeared too.
She was resolutely refusing to reply to any of them. Marlene's were all in capital letters, and she'd actually sent a howler to her earlier. It had been so loud that she'd had to shut it into her wardrobe and pull her jumper over her head.

"LILY MARIE EVANS IF YOU DO NOT REPLY RIGHT NOW I SWEAR TO MERLIN I WILL STEAL BLACK AND PETTIGREW'S DIRTY SOCKS AND ATTACH THEM TO YOUR NOSE BY MAGIC.
PERMANENTLY.
WATCH ME EVANS.
I WILL DO IT.
Marlene."

Lily hadn't taken that threat too seriously, she was pretty sure Marlene couldn't do magic like that quite yet.
She had received a further two from Marlene just an hour later, and was beginning to find her persistence aggravating. She was determined not to reply though.

Lily yawned and looked at the clock by her bed. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. The house was silent; her family was out. She decided to have a quick nap before they got back.
Her quick nap turned into a deep sleep though. Lily dreamed she was back at Hogwarts.

She was with James in the closet and he was telling her how much he loved her…or was it hated her? He kept changing his mind, eyes turning from warm to cold in split seconds. Suddenly he leaned down and they were kissing again, but this time Lily was kissing him back and it was nice and he wrapped his arms around her waist. Then he stumbled back, disgust marring his features. "Evans, who'd want to kiss you? Not me anyway!" Then he'd left the closet and locked the door after him.
After that, the dream pretty much descended into rubbish. She couldn't open the door but the closet wasn't a closet anymore, it was a zoo and the lion was talking to her and feeding her melted strawberry ice cream and-
"LILY!"

Lily shot up and banged her head on something hard.
"Buggering hell, Lily! A voice muttered.
Lily opened her eyes and jumped. Marlene was inches away from her face, rubbing her forehead with a scowl on her face.
"Thanks for that." She said. "You've probably just given me brain damage. I'm serious, if I have a bump I will have to kill you."

"Marlene, what the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm kidnapping you." She shrugged, grabbing Lily's shoulders.
"You are not!" Lily shouted.
"Your mum and dad agreed, so technically, you have no choice in the matter."
"I'm not going!"
"Yes you are!" Marlene said happily. "Look! I already packed your bags while you were dreaming about Potter."
Lily blushed. "W-what? Preposterous why would I-"
"Cut the crap, Evans. Everyone knows you sleep talk." Marlene smirked.
"Sleep moan more like…'Oooh James, James!' That's what you sounded like!"
"Oh my god. It wasn't like that!"
She winked. "Your secret is safe with me, Lil's.
Besides, we have a lot of planning to do."
"Ha?" Lily said, confused.
"Melinda Doris is having a party in a few days. You're going to make James Potter wish he'd never crossed us."
She smiled menacingly.
Lily rolled her eyes.
Fabulous.
