An Eye for An Eye

Chapter 1
Something was wrong, Lily could tell.
Although Rose hadn't said anything, Lily knew the second she saw her best friend sitting in the common room that all was not well. Lily stole another glance at Rose, who hadn't shifted from her position staring at the fireplace since Lily came and sat next to her. Lily knew her friend well and therefore knew that nothing would come out if she interrogated the girl. So she sat and waited.
It was not in vain. After about a quarter of an hour, Rose got up and headed upstairs to her dorm. As she was leaving, Lily said,
"Do you want to be alone right now? Or-" She didn't finish, because Rose cut her off.
"Please come, Lil." Lily immediately got up, and she could hear the telltale tremor in Rose's voice that betrayed the tears hovering in the corners of her eyes.
They sat down on Rose's bed.
"Rose. what is it? Are you okay?"
"No," said Rose, choking back a sob, "It's Remus. I overheard Sirius and James talking today during Charms, and they were talking about how Remus is afraid to tell me something, because he's sure that I won't be happy with it." Here Rose was crying outright. "H-he p-p-probably doesn't like me any more. I d-don't want to b-break up with him."
Lily was furious, but she tried to hide it from Rose. "Rose, you don't know that for sure! I bet that it's not like that at all. We all have secrets, and maybe Remus hasn't told you something. I think you just have to talk to him about it."
Rose unsuccessfully attempted to dry her tears.
"Lily, this is going to sound so stupid, but I don't want to. I'm too scared."
"Oh honey, it's okay. I would be scared too, but you really have to go talk to him about it sooner rather than later."
Lily spent a while longer comforting her best friend, before making her excuses. She knew she had to get out as soon as she let the remark about secrets slip. Lily had a secret that no one else knew (or else, she hoped no one else did). She planned on keeping it that way. Lily hated seeing the people she loved upset, especially Rose, who almost never cried. Lily had some business to discuss with Sirius Black and James Potter.
A/N-this is my first real story, so please give me feedback. Keep the flames to a minimum though, please! This definitely isn't the best chapter.I just had to get things rolling somehow. I promise that it will be a James/Lily though, and we'll find out about Lily's secret in the next chapter. Please review!! It can't get better unless I know what to fix.
