Lily's POV: (sorry, ik this book is supposed to be James' POV but its easier writing from Lily's)

"Sirius Orion Black!" I shrieked, wrenching myself out of James' arms. Sirius was smirking down on us, arms folded. James didn't say anything, instead, he stood up on the couch. I didn't realize what was happening, until Sirius' eyes widened as James tackled him.

"HELP, LILYFLOWER! I'M CHOKING!" Sirius gasped, "HE WEIGHS AS MUCH AS PETER DOES!" 

"Oh, look, I hear Adelaide calling me. Oh no, Sirius, maybe another time," I grinned as I walked out of the room. "I HATE RUSSIANS!" Sirius wheezed. 

"Like I care," I scoffed. I ducked my head back in. "Oh, by the way Sirius, Marlene is part-Russian. I suppose she'd fancy the fact you hate Russians."

"NO!" he shrieked, scrambling from under James and rushing out the door hollering, "NO, MARLENE! LILY IS LYING, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RUSSIANS!"

"Oh, so now he likes Russians?" James smirked, brushing himself off as the butterflies jumped in my tummy. "Oh no, Potter! You have competition!" I gasped, smiling. "See you later," I said casually as I loped out of the Heads Common Room and headed downstairs for breakfast. 

. . . . . .

I knew the girls had already gone down or else Sirius would've already woken them up. I supposed that they had taken a picture of us and probably one of Sirius too.

I headed down to breakfast and jostled my way between Remus and Pete, knowing they wouldn't tease me. 

Before any of my friends could open their mouths to ask about what was going on between James and I (NOTHING), I beat them to it by shrieking, "WHAT DID YOU DO, LAST NIGHT?!" at Teresa. Teresa looked suddenly very guilty.

Remus turned towards Teresa and narrowed his eyes. She stared back at him, both of them talking non verbally. "WELL?" I demanded. Remus turned towards me and smiled. "It's fine, Lily. I'll tell you later."

Remus had a calming nature, making everyone feel instantly less stressed and more fun to be around. I cooled down and smiled graciously. Verra beamed at me across the table. "I have veery much er-fun here! Vith Pezer! In Gryffindor!" She laughed, her tinkles reminding me of the fairy dolls we used to hang up on the Christmas tree at home.

Marlene huffed, rolling her eyes and looking extremely irritated at Verra. Verra started chatting with the entire table, only Marlene throwing a few words that seemed to be aimed at Verra personally. Verra laughed them all off and blamed them on her. James strolled in the Main Hall, catching a strawberry pastry in his mouth that Sirius had chucked at him. 

"Something wrong, sweetheart?" he grinned, slinging an arm across my shoulders. "Yes. Teresa won't tell me what happened. And I am not your sweetheart," I glared at him and flicked his arm off. "But you've stolen my heart, Lils," he answered, shoving the pastry into his mouth. "I wasn't aware that you had a heart, Potter," I shot back. "I'm wounded, Lils." He clutched a hand to his chest. I pushed him off the bench, threw 3 pastries into his hands, and grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice, pushing it into Potter's hands.

"Back to last names, again, I suppose?" he asked airily. "Potter..." I warned under my breath. "Because, come on, Evans, you know you want to go out with me," he wiggled his eyebrows and spread his hands in front of him. My face reddened and I could almost feel steam coming from my ears. "Prongs," I heard Remus whispering, telling him to go away before I blew like a steamboat. "Who wouldn't want a piece of this macho? Come on, Evans, let's hear it. I know you want to snog this and have this all to yourself," he smirked. I glared at him, grabbed the pumpkin juice from his hands, spit into it in rage, and dumped it straight on him in the Great Hall.
