Perhaps it wasn't entirely necessary to the outsider, but James couldn't go another day without calling a meeting of the newly formed Defence Club that afternoon. Everything was happening too quickly around them and he had a sinking feeling that things would only get worse. After all, now it was rumours inside of Hogwarts that had students on edge. Even their Professors had to address the issue by waving off the rumours with as much lack of attention as they thought they deserved. But James hadn't been convinced. If anything, the fact that the Professors even felt the need to mention these rumours showed just how much of a problem they were.

And then there was Sirius. He'd been acting strange on and off for the last few days. It hadn't slipped past James's notice that the strange behaviour seemed to begin right after the cursed Ball incident. However, not wanting to dwell on it further, he'd gotten the sign-up list from Remus and sent each person a little note, urging them to meet in the common room on Sunday afternoon. While James sat there with an anxious tension running through him, he let his knee bob up and down, hard enough to wear a hole with his nerves.

After her conversation with Molly the night before, Lily couldn't help but think about her "relationship" with James Potter. She definitely saw him in a different light, may have even come to like him in that kind of sense. It wasn't unusual for them to walk down the hall, their hands laced together. She had kept convincing herself that it was normal, something of comfort. There may have been a few stolen kisses here and there as well when they found themselves alone, but nothing else. She was beginning to wonder if they were an official couple without making it official.

She knew of the meeting and the time, but she went down to the common room earlier in hopes of finding James alone to talk to him about it. She was lucky to find it true and took her opportunity, not sure when the others would arrive.

"Hey," she said, walking over to take a seat next to him. "Um, could I talk to you about something? About...us?" She winced a little, thinking she sounded like those stupid school girls she gagged over. Still, she had to know.

He looked up from his thoughts when he heard her approach and address him, an instant smile lighting up his face. Taking her hand in his, he gave her a quick peck on the cheek before feeling himself relax. It was always a great day when Lily was around. James was so infatuated that he couldn't see beyond to read the dubious expression on Lily's pretty face.

"Hi! Sure, what did you want to talk about? We're about to have the defence meeting in a bit, but I reckon most of those sods'll show up late." He grinned as he ran his free hand through his hair, having yet to drop the habit.

	Molly glanced over at James again, a little surprised. Sure she knew he liked her friend, but he wasn't already that attached was he? Was it possible that this was more than just a passing fancy to the boy? "You did the right thing Lily. It isn't like you told him you never want to see him again. Just give it time."
