......................

LILY: No, It's not that.

BENVOLIO: Then, what is it Lily Evans?

LILY: It...I just can't...okay?

BENVOLIO: Can't, what?

LILY: ...Can't, well...you know...I can't.

BENVOLIO: You can't be intimate with me or you can't trust me. So which one is it?

LILY: I... I...didn't mean that...I...

BENVOLIO: 'What then?

......................

MIRANDA: What is it Lily?

LILY: Well, what do you think? Do the initials J.P mean anything to you?

MIRANDA: James, hey? What's he done this time? Asked you out in front of the whole school for the one-billionth time?

LILY: Not entirely, well he kind of did, but that's not the point. He charmed himself and two of his friends to the ceiling... I mean we have been at Hogwarts for nearly six years now and he still can't get the levitation spell right!

MIRANDA: Yeah... so... and this bothers you why?

LILY: Well, it just bothers me, okay? Do I need a reason for everything?

MIRANDA: Okay, okay! Sorry I asked... but that's not all is it? Well Lil, What else happened?

LILY: I don't really feel like talking about it!

MIRANDA: Come on Lily! I'll understand... whatever it is!

LILY: Well, you know I'm going out with Benvolio Reynolds, right? Well, Sirius saw us... well you know what I mean, and he won't stop teasing me about it... I mean please, as if he hasn't... with like one million girls!

MIRANDA: You were what? With him? What... I mean... way to go Lily!

LILY: Yeah I know what your thinking. How could you... he's so not your type?

MIRANDA: Basically yes, but also do you mean making out? I mean Sirius has done more than that with one million girls.

LILY: Ewww, I did not need that visual. Don't worry, you won't need psychiatric help...it was nothing more than making out, ok?

MIRANDA: Whatever, well I mean I did go out with Sirius for a while and he's so not how people think he is!

LILY: Sure, do you remember whom he dumped you for?

MIRANDA: Yes... Daffodil Summers. I never knew why though... I wish I did!

LILY: Oh! I didn't know that, he should have given you a reason.

MIRANDA: Yeah... maybe he should have.

........................................................................

SIRIUS: Hey Lily, Miranda. How are you girls today?

LILY: Fine.

SIRIUS: What's up with you, Miranda?

MIRANDA: It doesn't matter.

SIRIUS: You can tell me anything, you know?

MIRANDA: No. I can't...

SIRIUS: What is it with her? Ever since we broke up it's like we are no longer friends.

LILY: It's something you should probably talk to her about. Anyway I was wondering, did James and the others get down off the ceiling?

..........................................

JASMINE: Lucius, what is it?

LUCIUS: Open it?

JASMINE: A ring?

LUCIUS: Yes, a ring. It has a question with it too.

JASMINE: ...And what would that question be?

LUCIUS: ...Marry me, Jasmine Blackthorn?

JASMINE: ...I don't know what to say...

LUCIUS: Say yes...

..........................................

SIRIUS: Miranda...

MIRANDA: Yeah, what?

SIRIUS: What's wrong? You've been acting strange ever since we broke up...

MIRANDA: Well, it might have been easier for you to get over! After all you broke up with me.

SIRIUS: Look I'm sorry, but I just didn't think that I felt the same way anymore.

MIRANDA: Yeah, but did you think of me at all? You dumped me for a blonde-haired Hufflepuff! Who, you only wanted to do and then discard her? I mean wake up, I loved you and I still do, but all you want to do is 'be like James', well your not! So get over it!

SIRIUS: I don't want to be like James with girls! I'm like me with girls.

MIRANDA: You don't understand do you? It's more than that, but it might seem pretty unlikely to you.

SIRIUS: What is it?

MIRANDA: Okay, I never told you while we were going out because I wasn't sure what you would think. Do you remember one week before you broke up with me?

SIRIUS: Yeah, but what has that got to do with anything?

MIRANDA: You'll find out. Do you remember what we did that week? How much you told me you loved me?

SIRIUS: Yes, but I don't see what us sleeping together has to do with anything?

MIRANDA: Well, I don't know how to say it, so I'm just going to say it... it was my first time...I was...

SIRIUS: ...You were...a...virgin?

MIRANDA: Yes...I wish I had told you earlier!

SIRIUS: I wish you had too.

MIRANDA: What is that supposed to mean? That you wouldn't have slept with me? That you don't sleep with non-sluts?

SIRIUS: No...no that's not what I meant...

MIRANDA: Well then what did you mean? That I wasn't good enough for you?

SIRIUS: No... you were always too good for me. I never knew what you saw in me... and I think I thought that you were better off without me.

MIRANDA: Well, you were wrong. Do I look better off? I don't think so. I miss how you would take care of me and protect me. I can't believe you never saw that. I can't believe you didn't follow what was right, rather than what everyone else said.

SIRIUS: ...I don't know what to do anymore...

MIRANDA: Maybe you could start by telling me the truth...

SIRIUS: ... What truth?

MIRANDA: How you really feel about everything...

.......................................................

JASMINE: Lily! LILY!

LILY: What?

JASMINE: I have news!

LILY: News?

JASMINE: Yeah... well, guess what?

LILY: What?

JASMINE: I'm engaged!

LILY: What?

JASMINE: I'm engaged to Lucius Malfoy.

LILY: Malfoy? What?

...................................................

SIRIUS: How I feel?

MIRANDA: Yeah, how do you feel?

SIRIUS: Well, I think I have a temperature...does it seem warm in here to you?

MIRANDA: Ha ha! Be serious for just one minute!

SIRIUS: I thought I was SIRIUS?

MIRANDIA: Oh! Get over it! How did you feel when we were going out?

SIRIUS: I'm not sure.

MIRANDA: So you can't remember? Maybe that was because you were too caught up in chasing that blonde-haired Hufflepuff bimbo.

SIRIUS: What?

MIRANDA: Nothing, I didn't think you would understand.

SIRIUS: ...It's not that I don't understand...

MIRANDA: What is it then? Why won't you tell me?

SIRIUS: ...Because I don't think you would understand.

MIRANDA: I would understand! As if! Even if I didn't completely understand I still want to try and understand!

SIRIUS: ...I think I'm still in love with you.

MIRANDA: Don't say things you don't mean. If you still loved me you wouldn't have hurt me like that.

..................................................

REMUS: James, what is it? You haven't spoken since Sirius got you down from the ceiling this morning.

JAMES: It's nothing you would understand.

REMUS: What that your in love with Lily Evans, even though she thinks it's just another prank...

JAMES: How did you know?

REMUS: It's obvious. You act differently when Lily's there.

JAMES: How do you mean?

REMUS: Like you're in love.

...............................................

LILY: I don't want you to touch me like that!

BENVOLIO: Like what? Like this?

LILY: Ouch...yes, not harshly.

BENVOLIO: Well, I don't care what you want Lily.

LILY: But...I love you...you're my boyfriend. You're meant to care for me too!

BENVOLIO: What rulebook are you reading?

LILY: It's not a rulebook it is how life is meant to be!

BENVOLIO: Whatever. I have Quidditch practise to get to.

...........................................

SIRIUS: I did mean it!

MIRANDA: No you didn't. I know that look in your eyes. You just feel bad that you broke up with me.

SIRIUS: No, Miranda I mean it. I'm afraid of love but I really do care for you.

MIRANDA: Care and love are two completely different feelings!

SIRIUS: How do you mean?

MIRANDA: Well, love is when you kiss someone and you feel like you wouldn't want to be anywhere but with him or her. Right then, in that one second. Then, there's care. It's just sympathy or friendship for someone. I know that I love you, but how do you feel about me?

SIRIUS: I think I love you.

MIRANDA: You think?

SIRIUS: Well, you make me feel like nothing else in the whole world matters, that I would die for you... it the opportunity arose.

MIRANDA: You're such a liar!

SIRIUS: I'm not lying! I think... No, I'm sure that I love you.

MIRANDA: Oh! The infamous girl-chaser Sirius Black has fallen in love with little old me! Oh! How cute!

SIRIUS: Well I try my best!

MIRANDA: I didn't say charming, sweet, handsome, gorgeous and...

SIRIUS: Well, I forgot beautiful. So, why don't we call it even, okay?

........................................

REMUS: James, why don't you just ask her out nicely?

JAMES: I thought I did!

REMUS: Oh Absolutely! What am I talking about? I'm sure every girl's dream is to be asked out in front of the school one billion times.

JAMES: I didn't mean to do it like that; it was a spur of the moment thing.

REMUS: Yeah, it might have been the first few times, but Lily didn't seem to think it was so funny for the tenth time.

JAMES: So, I don't care what anyone thinks. Why does she have to care?

............................................

MIRANDA: Lily! LILY!

LILY: What?

MIRANDA: Oh! I'll tell you later if you're in such a bad mood.

LILY: No! No, it's not that. Tell me. Please!

MIRANDA: Okay. Well I think that Sirius and I are back together.

LILY: You think? I mean... oh wow! I would have never have guessed it!

MIRANDA: How did you know?

LILY: Well, like two minutes before, Sirius came barging through the doors with a huge grin on his face. He was dancing around like a little girl to be quite honest with you.'

MIRANDA: Really?

LILY: Mmmm, it was quite sickening for the on-lookers like myself. Well, I suppose it is Sirius.

MIRANDA: Oh! Shut up, Lily! He is quite sweet. Once you get to know him, of course.

LILY: Hey, can I ask you something?

MIRANDA: Anything!

........................................

REMUS: James, just ask her! It would save us all a lot of grief, okay?

JAMES: How? How do I ask her without looking like a prat?

REMUS: Well, why don't you try the opposite to whatever you've done before?

JAMES: I can't really remember what I've done before. I mean I did try to forget.

REMUS: How can you forget? All those stares. They lasted for weeks.

JAMES: Yeah I kind of remember that and...

REMUS: ...And what?

JAMES: Nothing.

REMUS: No, tell me!

JAMES: No, I think I'll tell Sirius...maybe.

....................................

LILY: Well, I kind of need you help.

MIRANDA: Okay, what ever it is you know I'll help you.

LILY: I have a really big problem. I mean I didn't really know it was a problem until just recently...

MIRANDA: What's up Lils?

LILY: It's Benvolio. I mean, he's not who he seems.

MIRANDA: I know that. What has he done Lily?

LILY: He...well, he kind of abuses people... and by people I mean... me.

MIRANDA: Abuse?

.....................................

SIRIUS: Okay, Jamesie. What do you want to tell me?

JAMES: Well. I kind of don't want to tell you, but I'd rather tell you than Remus.

SIRIUS: Spit it out then. I don't have all day!

JAMES: Hey. Did you just call me Jamesie'?

SIRIUS: Yeah.

JAMES: Don't do that... Siri.

SIRIUS: Oi! Don't call me that!

JAMES: Fine.

SIRIUS: So what is it?

JAMES: Well, do you remember the time I asked Lily Evans out?

SIRIUS: How could I? There have been millions of them.

JAMES: Well there was this one time in July. Do you remember that one?

SIRIUS: Yeah.

JAMES: Well something happened that you don't know about.

....................................

MIRANDA: Lily, it's okay.

LILY: No, it's not. I shouldn't have let him. I mean what if something more serious had happened.

SIRIUS: Speak of the devil...

MIRANDA: Not now. Can I talk to you later Sirius?

SIRIUS: Sure, until later then.

MIRANDA: Yes, until later.

MIRANDA: Sorry about him, he has bad timing.

LILY: I have to break up with him Miranda. Even though I've already tried. What can I do?

MIRANDA: Actually, I think I have a plan.

....................................................

SIRIUS: James, what happened? I mean, if anyone will understand it's me.

JAMES: Well, I got drunk, right? Then...

SIRIUS: Then? What, then what?

JAMES: I slept with this girl...hmm...I think that's right.

SIRIUS: Who was this girl?

JAMES: Well you know her she was drunk too. Don't get mad at her, okay? It wasn't her fault. Honestly!

SIRIUS: Who is it?

JAMES: ...Miranda.
