Wow! The response to that first chapter was amazing! Thank you all so much! I'll try and get this up before I leave. I'm going to a water park with my bestest friend. Well, one of my bestest friends!
Dislaimy: I doeznt own nuthinz.

I groaned.
"Come on Prongsie, go to sleep," Sirius pleaded.
"I can't," I said. "I can't stop thinking about her. It's so strange."
"Yeah it is!" Remus agreed. "You've sworn a thousand times you couldn't fall for anyone but Lily, and now you fall for some random girl whose name you don't even know!"
"You don't even know what she looks like!" Sirius announced.
"Shut up," I muttered.
"Well, how are you going to find her?" Peter asked.
"I have no idea," I replied sadly. "Maybe I'll just…ask around?"
"Wrong!" Sirius said, making a buzzing noise. "It just so happens that I have the answer to your problems."
I sat upright in bed. "What?" I asked.
He pulled out a small silver clip with tiny jewels on it.
I gasped. "And you kept this to yourself until just now!?"
He shrugged. "I was waiting for the right moment," he said, as if this made perfect sense. Remus rolled his eyes. "Anyway," Sirius continued. "I saw the girl you were dancing with run off at Midnight, and I followed to see where she was going. I stopped to pick this up after she dropped it, and when I looked up again, she was gone."
"But you're sure it was her that dropped it?" I asked cautiously.
"There was no one else in the corridor," he replied.
I sighed happily and drifted off to sleep.

Lily POV
"Lily, spill!" Andromeda said. "Who was this mystery guy you were dancing with that you ran from?"
I groaned. "I don't want to talk about it you guys," I said, rolling over and pulling my blanket over my head.
"It must have been bad," Alice said sympathetically.
"You have no idea," I said, just loud enough for them to hear me.
"That's why you have to tell us!" Andromeda cried.
"I think I lost my clip," I mumbled. "I'll have to go back to the Great Hall tomorrow and look for it."
"We'll help you," Alice said.
"But only if you tell us!" Andromeda added loudly.
"She doesn't have to if she really doesn't want to," Alice said.
"Thank you," I said.
"However-" she added. "It would make us so very, very happy!"
I groaned again. "Come on you guys!" I complained. "I really don't want to talk about it."
"Who was it!?" Andromeda demanded, getting out of her bed and jumping on to mine, bouncing up and down.
"Yeah," Alice agreed, following suit. "Who!?"
"James Potter!" I yelled. "I was dancing with James Potter!"
They stopped bouncing simultaneously.
"What?" they said harmoniously.
"Yes," I said. "And I really started to like him before he took his mask off, and now I don't know what to do."
"Wow," Andromeda breathed, getting back into her bed. "I think Hell is freezing over."
Alice nodded. "Either that, or we're having a really strange dream."
"Lily and James," Andromeda said, trying it out.
"Potter and Evans," Alice tried. Then she grinned. "Lily Potter," she said, happily.
I threw my pillow at her as hard as I could. "Shut up!" I cried.
They laughed, and I did too, as hard as I tried to hold it back.
"So, are you going to tell him it was you?" Andromeda asked.
"No," I said firmly.
"What!?" Alice gasped. "Why not!?"
"Think about it," I said. "James has been asking me to go out with him ever since that first time when I said no. If he finds out I fell for him, he'll want to go out with me, but then he'll move on to the next girl, as is his custom. Besides, he already really likes someone," I finished.
"Yeah, you!" Alice said.
"No, he asks me out because I say no. but at the ball, he was telling me about this girl. He described her as perfect in every way. I could never be that girl."
And with that I sighed heavily and forced myself into a dreamless sleep.
