The Glitch In Events

October 1977, Marauders' 7th Year

"…So, for homework I would like one foot of parchment describing the aftermath of the Goblin Rebellion, due in next week."

The entire class rushed to their bags as they hurried out of the room, only Lily and Remus had bothered to record the work, and it was likely that they would be the only two to do it…

LILY POV

"Remus?"

"Lily?" he replied with a subtly sarcastic manner.

I just rolled my eyes, " Yes, very funny. I'm being serious."

Remus then turned to look at me and sighed, "You have my fullest attention Lily."

I suddenly became silent. I didn't know what to say because the thought of asking my question seemed so ridiculous now that it was imminent.

"Well… I know James has been declaring his love for years now… and he was so happy when we got together… but" I was swiftly interrupted,

"-You want me to tell you if he's cheating on you?" Remus stared back at me with concern in his eyes, and I nodded with an embarrassed and guilty look plastered across my face. Remus just smiled at me and started to chuckle, "No, of course he wouldn't. I know he's been avoiding you for a while but it's not because of that… in fact it's kind of the opposite."

That confused me further, "Wait, what do you mean? Remus?!" he had started to run off and catch up with his infamous gang…

REMUS POV

As I caught up to the others I could hear Sirius' distinct guffaw about 30 seconds before I actually arrived.

"Really Moony?! That was your explanation!" Sirius just continued to laugh.

"Well what did you want me to say Padfoot? Oh yeah, James isn't cheating on you; he's just using his incredibly wasted intelligence to creepily stalk your future lives. But don't worry, he's not paranoid!" It made me want to punch Prongs so hard that he'd forget his own name, let alone this bout of insanity!

Sirius just rolled his eyes, " It's not that creepy… he's just checking that he won't muck up this relationship."

"Oh yeah? And what if he finds himself with someone else? He might be the happiest man alive, but it won't do because it's not Lily?!"

Sirius couldn't think of a comeback, but unfortunately James could, "Well, I wouldn't be happy without Lily so that won't happen."

This was becoming a desperate plea now, " Please Prongs! Don't do it! It'll go horribly wrong! And also what happened to your mature and loving personality?! That's the only reason Lily managed to see your good points, because you stopped acting like…like this!"

That caused James to stop mid-step. "I'm doing this for a bit of reassurance, ok Moony? Lily isn't the only one scared of me making a mistake. I'm just checking that I don't."

Now I was left speechless, and so I followed like a helpless, unwilling sheep: because I wanted to make James feel better...
