The Break Up

"You're a pretentious jerk and hate you!" Screamed Lily.

"You're a conceited bitch with a stick up your arse!" Fought back James.

"You're a stupid bastard who deserves to die!"

"You're a slag and a whore."

"Their the same thing you numb skull."

"You aren't exactly clever yourself."

"Well that's not saying much for you."

"What makes you think your cleverer than me you self-obsessed cow!"

"It's more clever you idiot!"

"I know I am."

"How could I ever date such a brainless bighead?"

"You can't talk."

"Yes I can!"

Sirius walked into the common room to see James and Lily at each others throats again. They'd been having a lot of arguments lately and it was really getting annoying. He sighed and stood between them.

"Peace!" He said holding Lily back preventing her from scratching James's eyes out. "What are you fighting about now?" They both yelled their side of the story at Sirius at the same time making it impossible for him to hear anything. "Right." He said once they'd stopped. "Look this is ridiculous. James you love Lily, I know you do. Lily you love James."

"Yeah well what if I don't anymore." She said a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"Lily are you breaking up with me?" Said James sounding hurt and looking at her with eyes full of woe.

"Yeah, maybe I am." Said Lily crying silent tears and then walking off to her dorm.

"Lily wait."

"Why should I?"

"Because I'm sorry."

"Well that's just not good enough anymore. Goodbye James." She said with one last tear rolling out of her emerald eyes she turned her back on James and walked slowly up the stairs out of sight.

James flopped down onto the common room couch looking shocked and confused.

"Look mate, maybe it's for the better, maybe she just wasn't the one, but you'll get over her." Said Sirius sitting next to James.

"No!" Said James beginning to cry and taking Sirius by surprise. James left him sitting there on the couch and ran up to his room to cry alone.

…………………………………………………………

"Look James you have to get out of bed." Reasoned Remus sitting on a bedside chair. "You can't spend the rest of you life in bed wearing sweats and crying your heart out over Lily."

"Waaaaaaaaaaa! Lily!" Cried James from under the duvet.

"Look James I can help you get over her." Said Sirius from beside Remus.

"Yeah? And how do you intend to do that?"

"Just get out of bed and come to class. We'll talk on the way." Said Sirius calmly.

"Ok." Whimpered James getting up and walking over to the bathroom dragging his feet behind him.

A little while later they left the common room with James trailing behind them looking half dead just as Remus did before a full moon.

"So what's this plan of yours?" Asked James wearily.

"Blind dates." He answered simply.

"Sirius that will never work! I'm going back to bed."

"No your not!" Said Sirius grabbing James's arm and dragging him along. "See what will happen is I will set you up with 20 beautiful girls and by the time you've dated them all you'll realize that you don't need Lily and that there are plenty more fish in the sea."

"Fine." resigned James; he couldn't be bothered to argue.

James kept his rather depressed mood for the rest of the day and didn't talk unless absolutely necessary. He was constantly glancing over at Lily and each time he did he looked as if he was about to cry. As pathetic as Sirius thought it was he couldn't help but feel sorry for his best mate, it was kind of sad in a way.

The Next Day……………….

Sirius was sitting on the couch reading a book enjoying the fact that James was not there at the time crying on his shoulder over Lily. He wanted to be there for his friend and everything but it was slightly irritating.

"Err…..Sirius?"

Sirius put down his book and looked up at the voice. "Oh hi Lily what is it?" He asked.

"Well……." Began Lily sitting next to him. "James is your best friend and I was just wondering how he was."

"Well he's ok."

"Really? Does he not miss me at all?" Asked Lily looking rather sad.

"Do you miss him?" Asked Sirius.

"Yeah, I suppose I do." Said Lily beginning to cry.

"Well maybe it's time you got over him and just moved on."

"But I can't!" Said Lily crying even more now.

"It's ok." Comforted Sirius wrapping his arm around Lily. "What if I could help?"

"How?" Asked Lily looking up at him.

"I could set you up with some one."

"Sirius I'm not going out with any of your man-whore friends!" Said Lily.

"No! If I set you up with 20 perfectly nice guys then you'd realize you don't need James and there are plenty other people out there who would love to date you."

"Ok then." Said Lily getting up. "Thanks Sirius."

"Any day Lily flower." Lily smiled and left the room leaving Sirius feeling rather pleased with himself.

"Moony!" Called Sirius noticing one of his best friends entering the common room and jumping up to join him. "My brilliant plan has been put into action."

"It's not going to work Padfoot." Said Remus climbing the stairs to boys' dorm.

"Oh yeah? Do you want to put your money where your mouth is?"

"I'm not betting you Padfoot."

"20 Galleons?"

"No!"

"15?"

"No!"

"10?"

"I said no!"

"Why not?" Asked Sirius.

"Because you cheat on bets!"

"That was one time."

"And I swore I'd never bet you again."

"Oh come on."

"Fine! 20 Galleons says you plan doesn't work." Said Remus.

"And 20 galleons says it does." Agreed Sirius and they shook hands to seal the deal and Sirius smiled to himself, his plan was fool proof.
