Lily looked at her best friend and smiled. She knew she could trust Alice, but she also knew that Alice was wondering why she wanted her to keep this a secret from Emme. Lily just didn't feel ready to tell her. Especially since Emme was still getting over James herself.
"Alice, I think I'm starting to fall, REALLY BAD, for..." This was it, she was about to tell her best friend that she was falling for the guy they had hated since their first year. What would Alice say? She had so many different variations running through her head. So many things that could go wrong.
She took a deep breath. "C'mon Lil, you can do it..."....
"....James Potter.... In fact the more I think about him, the more over my feet I'm getting, but I'm really worried that he's going to fall for someone else now that he's finally got me feeling like this. You know what he's like. One girl after another. I don't want to be just another girl!"

Lily's words rang in her head. "So that's the big news..." And big news it was. Lily and Alice had never been particularly fond of Pothead, though Emme wasn't as against him as the two were. "Well one now," she thought. It almost sounded like a lie, was she being pranked or something? No, it was true, Lily Evans was falling for Pothead.
She was relieved, actually she was happy. No matter how much she disliked Pothead, she had to admit, there probably wasn't any boy in Hogwarts she rather see Lily with. Pothead was crazy for Lil, and she knew it was only a matter of time before Lily felt the same way back. But she was still in disbelief, "Lily and Pothead?" It sounded so, so right.
She couldn't help but grin at her friend, then reassure her, "Lily, I don't think it's going to be like that," and she really didn't, "Pothead, ermm Potter," she corrected herself, "... is crazy for you, darling." She was still so excited, there was no way she'd be getting any sleep tonight. She wanted to run up to Pothead and tell him, tell him to ask her out this moment. But she wouldn't, she had promised Lil after all. "Ohh Lil!" she finally burst out, "I can't even believe this is true!" then added, "In a good way of course!'

Lily smiled, she hoped that Alice was right. The thing was Lily wasn't exactly sure of herself. She was 17 years old and had never had a proper boyfriend. In fact no guy had ever even shown an interest in her until Potter, and the reason she became so scared of it was, well, because she was worried that it was all a joke to him. Another one of his pranks. So she never got interested and never let herself fall for him.
Until lately. She supposed it was to do with his father dying. It had shown another side of Potter that Lily had never seen before. It had made her more aware of him and had made her happier to play at his little games. She smiled slightly to herself, glad she had Alice's support.
"What about Emme? She still has feelings for him and well, I really don't want to end up being the other girl. Especially not with her. She's been my best friend, for... well, as long as I've been best friends with you!" She looked at Alice, painstricken. She had no idea what to do anymore. "I mean every time I see him I get this, leap, in my stomach, but it turns rotten when Emme comes up or something reminds me of her... Al, I really don't know what to do!"

Alice paused for a moment, a reassuring smile on her face, but in reality, she had no clue what to say. Lil was right, this was pretty much a big mess. Sure Emme had kind of moved on, from what Alice knew, Emme liked Black. But it was also obvious that she still had some feelings for Potthead. "Least I'm not part of this!" But the problem was, she was. If Lil decided to go for Potthead, well then Emme would probably get mad at Lil, if in fact she still had feelings for him, and Alice would be stuck in the middle. She then be forced to take sides, probably with consult from half the school, including Potthead and Black themselves, "Oh goodness that'd be too much of a mess!"
And a mess it would be indeed, but Alice still had this gut feeling that, well Emme wouldn't mind if Lil liked Potthead. Maybe knowing Lil liked Potthead would cause Emme to realize she didn't have feelings for Potthead, just for Sirius, and then everything would be good, right? Actually it'd be perfect. Lil would go out with Potthead, and Emme would go out with his best mate, Black. She couldn't help but smile at the thought.
But how was she to tell Lil what to do. Alice was usually good with advice, but what was there to say? All she wanted to do at that moment, was figure out for sure what kind of feelings Emme had for Potthead, maybe they were those normal break-up feelings, that are gone after a while. She hoped that's what they were. But Lil was in front of her, and she needed to say something, enough time had passed already....
"Come on Alice, say something!" But all she could manage out was, "Lil, I'm sure everything will work out..." she mustered out, "trust me. Maybe if I just talk to Emme." she added, barely above a whisper. But she knew, deep down, things would be alright.
