Chapter 3: Summer
The Potter manor, Lily decided, should have a map, or a guide, or even one of those things that say "you are here". It was impossible for someone who didn't live here to get around without getting lost and incidentally stumble into James Potter and his girlfriend snogging in the middle of the corridor, his arms lifting her legs up so she could wrap them around his waist and her hands digging into his hair.
Lily pressed herself against corridor's wall, closed her eyes and slid down into a sitting position, desperately wishing they wouldn't notice her and just stop eating each other faces and go somewhere else. She tried not to look but what can you do when the boy you fancied, that had been fancying you for 3 years, suddenly decided to move on and get a girlfriend just when you decided that you wanted to give him a chance? Monopolized by these thoughts Lily didn't realize that someone had slid next to her until Remus began to speak.
"You know, I don't he likes her that much" he said, looking at Lily with a somewhat pitiful expression.
"I don't see why" she answered her eyes still glued on the couple "she is pretty, and obviously want to be with him, why wouldn't he like her?" she continued, finally being able to avert her eyes from them and Remus could see they were slightly wet, he wondered if it was a trick of the light of the candles or if she was really that upset. As if reading his mind, Lily lifted a hand to hurriedly clean a stray tear that was falling on the left side of her face.
"Sorry" she mumbled sniffing "God, you must think I'm a tosser. When he wants me I don't want him, when I want him he finds another one. That's karma for you" she said with a bitter laugh.
At long last James and his girlfriend decided to relocate to his room, for activities that Lily would rather not think about at that precise moment. Swiftly getting up, Lily brushed away the wetness in her eyes and looking down mumbled "please... please don't tell him". Remus didn't even get a chance to nod his agreement before Lily started going down the corridor, not really sure where to, just to get away from the couple. Because Potter manor may cause a lot of people to get lost, but Lily only found herself.
