Disclaimer - I don't own Harry Potter
PLEASE READ! I know my story is not the best, but I would REALLY APPRICATE some REVIEWS. I have come to the decision that if I don't get any FEEDBACK on the NEXT CHAPTER I ADD then I'm just going to GIVE UP on the story. I DON'T CARE if the reviews are NEGATIVE just GIVE ME SOMETHING so I know what to fix. I wanted to try and make this story at least 40,000 words and was going to end after James and Lily get together and it was to span the whole seventh year, but if I don't' any Reviews I'm done. I SORRY ABOUT BEING RUDE AND COMPLAINING but I feel like I'm wasting my time because no is even reading my story. SO PLAESE REVIEW!!
Sitting side by side near the lake in the shade of a beech tree were Lily and Sirius.
"Where you and Petunia ever friends? I remember Regulus and I being inseparable until I saw how prejudice my mum and dad were, I remember that too we where at Diagon Alley and they were going to get us ice cream and only Fortescuse's parlor was open but they wouldn't go their because he was muggle born and I thought it was so ridiculous, when I asked why they said it was because he was a mudblood but I didn't understand he sold ice cream and ice cream was ice cream, that's when I began to understand and Regulus thought I was being dumb I was nine at the time and from then on we just began to drift apart…"
"We were best friends, Petty and I, I thought she was amazing I wanted to be just like her, she was fun, pretty, and everyone loved her, but once I discovered I was a witch she became jealous and it hasn't been the same since. I miss her so much she got married this summer to an awful man, and she didn't even want me to come but mum and dad forced her to invite me."
"That's not right!"
"I know, I don't understand how she can act like this, she has to still love me, I'm her sister! Just like Regulus is your brother. I think that one day they will see and they will be there for us, we just have to give them time."
"The day that happens is the day Voldemort will say sorry to all the muggle borne" snorted Sirius.
"You're so pessimistic!"
"And you're so naive! Face the facts Lily! Petunia may accept you but I know Regulus won't ever accept me again… he's…he's not strong enough to get away from my family of fools, besides he a fool himself."
"Just don't give up hope, maybe one day…you can't go through your life thinking like that." Responded Lily giving him a hug and rubbing his back.
"It doesn't matter anyway I have James, Remus and Peter I couldn't ask for better friends, I would do anything for them, anything…"
"I know what you mean I would do the same for Marlene, Docras and Alice.
With that said they both sat quietly by the lake for the rest of lunch thinking and enjoying the peace and quiet dreading going to back into the loud hustle of the school.
"Where is he? Padfoot never misses a meal!" stressed James.
"Clam down maybe he had something to do before he gets busy this week." said a very ill looking Remus, the full moon would be in two nights.
"Still what can be more important than food to Sirius?"
"Girls?" suggested Peter
"What do you want?" asked Docras
"You're welcome to sit with us but we weren't talking about you, have you seen Sirius?" asked James his eyes not bothering to leave the entrance to the great hall.
"No but Lily is missing too she probably dragged him to the Library or something they have Arithmancy together!" laughed Docras. "You two really are inseparable gosh!"
"Maybe…" said James taking his eyes off the entrance and beginning to eat "that would make sense he's probably watching out for my future wife."
"James" said Marlene sternly "What did we talk about?"
"But she's not around! How can I embarrass someone when there not around?"
"Fine keep on embarrassing her!" said Marlene holding her hands up and continuing her lunch.
"Are you okay Remus? You look a really ill maybe you should go see Madam Pomfrey?" asked a concerned Alice.
"After classes I will, but I probably just a cold my immune system is weak." Smiled Remus then changing the subject "I saw Frank talking to you."
"Oh yes! He asked me to Hogsmeade!" blushed and excited Alice.
"Did you say yes?" asked James
"You dolt Potter! Of course she said yes look at her!" said an eye rolling Docras "You amaze me sometimes."
"You never know, and Quidditch tryouts are next week on Saturday were going to need a new beater and keeper, I was thinking of letting Sirius tryout for beater he needs a way to get his frustration out."
"That's a shame that we lost Smith and Johnson they had talent."
"But Johnson was weak on left sided saves."
"How can you say that we won the Quidditch cup last year?"
"Docras we won by 190 points that's too close!"
"You still had a good team James you can't complain it's hard to find talent I might tryout this year it's my last year and I figure what the heck, why not make the most of it?" said Frank as he sat down next to a blushing Alice.
"I don't care this is my last year and we will be ten times better."
"Um…. Alice I was wondering if you wanted to hangout before Hogsmeade? Like a walk around the lake or something?"
"Sure, that sounds great I have prefect duties on Mondays and Thursday but besides that I'm free whenever…"
"Don't forget this Saturday is Quidditch tryouts!" said James causing the group to snort at his second favorite obsession… Quidditch.
"James..." whined Marlene "your ruining their moment they don't care about bloody Quidditch!"
"Frank said he wanted to tryout and Alice needs to be there for moral support for Docras and possibly Frank!"
"It's alright, do you want to run with to the dorm with me though I need to get my book before class?" said Frank asking Alice.
"Alright."
"He's grown up over the summer and gotten way better looking this year" commented Marlene as the couple walked away.
"He's not my type." Replied Docras
"Me neither" laughed Remus
"I would hope not mate! Not another secret you're trying to keep from us?"
"Oh yes James, I WANT YOU! I pine for you." Said Remus sarcastically shaking his head.
"What is your type Docras, I'm curious?" asked James "Because whoever can handle you has to be crazy, you're more ridiculous than Lily can be at times!"
"Thanks James, no my type it would be strong, dark and handsome and not afraid of being different and would have to make me laugh, and since I haven't found him I'm not interested in anyone else, boys are a waste of time and a pain in the arse."
"Thank you Docras I'll remember that next time you need help in DADA" laughed Remus.
"I think you may be the exception to her theory Remus" laughed Marlene.
"Yes he is thank you Marlene."
"What about me?" asked James
"One word… Quidditch." Exclaimed Docras holding up one finger.
"Alright discussion ended before it gets out of control, and we need to go to Care of Magical Creatures, our last class the day!" exclaimed Remus
"Are you going to tell him?" asked Susanna Sanders a seventh year Gryffindor looking down the table at the Head Boy.
"No, he's not dumb I can't just walk up and tell him that, I have to wait for the right time, let him find out through the grape vine." Smiled Abigail DeCarlo, then taking a bit of her salad.
"Do you think it's true though?" asked Tiffany Wilson in disbelief "I don't think he would do that to his best friend, I mean look at how close they are…"
"You never know, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't saw it with my own eyes." Replied Abigail "Maybe he'll finally notice me now, I've always had a crush on him he really is sweet, plus he's rich and will soon be inheriting it."
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Tiffany
"Potter's parents aren't young their like sixty or seventy something they're really old, money isn't important to me but it's definitely is a bonus."
"Don't let anyone hear you say that Abby, that's a nasty thing to say." Frowned Tiffany
"What kind of person do you think I am? I didn't mean it that way."
"It doesn't matter; saying something like that will always come out wrong."
"Lay off her Tiff she's sorry end of story." Finalized Susanna.
"Where is Sirius?" asked James handing Lily a sandwich.
"Umm... Thank you …." Said a stunned Lily "what kind of jam is this?" asked Lily ignoring the previous question
"Strawberry, I know you hate grape, but where is he?"
"Oh ….umm…" stumbled a baffled Lily taking a bite, "We went to the Library then he said he had a stomach ache so I think he went to the dorm to rest, he'll be fine by the end of class, bye and thanks for the sandwich." Leaving James, Remus and Peter to be with Marlene, Alice, Frank and Docras.
"Tomorrow is Friday!" cheered Docras
"Two days of freedom!" replied Marlene "And a date with Kyle Harrison"
"He's from Hufflepuff, a sixth year right?" asked Lily
"Yup has the black hair and baby blues, he grew like a foot over the summer too. I had my eye on him last year, but he was way to short so I didn't make a move."
"Marlene, you dork it doesn't take much to be taller than you."
"Thanks Lily I can't help my height defect."
"You COULD wear high heels." Smirked Alice.
"THANK YOU ALICE!" responded Marlene loudly and slowly.
"YOU'RE WELCOME MARLENE." Replied Alice mimicking Marlene.
"Flaming Flamingos, Who came up with that password word?" asked Alice.
"Potter, I figured that he would be able to do that every month."
"He grew up over the summer too, now he looks like a man now instead of a boy." Said Marlene
"You keep saying that about everyone Marlene." Stated Docras.
"It doesn't matter anyway he may look like a man but he acts like a child."
"So are you saying you find James attractive Lily?"
"No, I never said that Docras, your putting words in my mouth."
"Well her and James are bound to get together sometime." Laughed Marlene
"What?! Why do you say that?" asked Lily leading the group up the stairs to her old dorm.
"Well in fourth year you went out with Sanders he was Head Boy last year, in fifth year you went out with the Johnson who was Head Boy and in sixth year you went out with Graves who will be Head Boy next year there's no doubt that kid is like a junior you." Answered Marlene.
"Yeah but your forgetting in between Sanders and Johnson there was Myers and he wasn't even a prefect." Said Alice.
"It doesn't matter me and Potter will never happen" said Lily throwing herself on to Marlene's bed "I can't believe they got rid of my bed."
"Yeah it was depressing coming in here to see it gone, our Lily has gone off to better things." Frowned Marlene.
"Where are the other three?" asked Lily
"Who knows, Abigail doesn't have a boyfriend which is a first for her, they are probably off hunting for the next victim."
"Really?" said an astounded lily.
"Apparently, she broke up with the Lockhart like a month ago."
"He's such a dumb bloke, she should have broke up with him ages ago she can do so much better, she really pretty and smart." Responded Lily.
"They went out for a while to like six months right?" Said Alice
"Something like that, he's really good looking to just no brains, so I have Harrison and Alice has Frank what about you two, have eyes on anyone?" questioned Marlene.
"Wait! Alice you and Frank!" exclaimed Lily "When were you going to tell me?"
"Well we spoke about it at lunch today and I kinda forgot to tell you sorry, but yes… he asked me to Hogsmeade and were going to hang out tomorrow maybe a walk around the lake or something, Oh and when is the first Hogsmeade visit?"
"I was going to make it the first week of October but I have to run it by Potter and then the Professors, You've had a crush on him for awhile too! I'm so happy for you!" Said Lily giving Alice a hug.
"Don't avoid the previous question Lily." Continued Marlene.
"What about Docras she is she's being so quiet over there."
"Huh?" looking up from her Quidditch magazine "you guys are talking girl sorry, but I find this so much more interesting."
"Docras you should've been a boy and speaking of boys do you have your eye on anyone this year?" asked Marlene.
"Ummm…No, they're all so lame here the only decent one I've ever met was Harris Williams but he graduated two years ago and was like a brother to me."
"Do you still talk to him?" asked Alice
"Yeah, occasionally we'll owl each other but he do you remember Grace Branson, they are engaged; the wedding is supposed to be in August."
"Maybe they break it off and he'll finally see you." Said Alice.
"You live in La La land I swear but I wouldn't want that he's really happy with her."
"Awwwww, our Docras is showing us she does have feeling!" smiled Lily
"Evans! I do have a heart deep down!" laughed Docras "but what about you?"
"No one."
"So you want to be single ALL year!" exclaimed Marlene
"No, if someone I find attractive asks then I give them a chance but I don't see anyone in particular, and anyways I've always had a boyfriend, beside I'm not you Marlene." Causing everyone to laugh.
"How many boyfriends have you had Marlene?" asked a curious Docras
"Does it matter?"
"YES!" the other three chorused at the same time causing them to burst into hysterics.
"Aright, Ummm Lanford, Hardin, Prewitt, Lockhart, Brown, Smith, Oats, McBride, Hanson, Mosley, Rush, Watson, Daniels and " counting them with her finger as she went get to the last one she whispered "Black"
"Did you just say Black, as in Sirius Black?" inquired Lily
"Yes but it was only for like two weeks and it didn't work out so…yeah."
"You never told us" accused Docras.
"Sorry, but I figured that it would make it even more awkward between the groups" stated Marlene glancing briefly at Lily before finishing "if I told you guys."
"It's alright just no more secrets." Said Alice
"So Lily what do you want to do tomorrow?" asked Docras
"I was planning on…"
"STOP, no homework it's a Friday night we are not doing homework."
"When then what to you have in mind?"
"How about we take dessert up to your common room and my parents got me this thing called a something hoop it sticks to the wall and you try to get the ball through it its so cool good Quidditch practice and I have a new record the band is called AC/DC"
"Hi Lily it's weird not having you here anymore, how's Head Girl dorm? Asked Abigail as her, Tiffany and Susanna entered the dorm.
"It's really nice but I still miss sleeping here, Hi Tiffany, Hi Susanna."
"Hi" replied Susanna turning her back to talk to Abigail.
"Hi Lily, I haven't got a chance to ask how your summer was?"
"Good my sister got married the wedding was beautiful," continued Lily ignoring Docras's snort "besides that it was a quiet summer, what about you?"
"Good too my family and I went to the Caribbean it was lovely."
"That explains your great tan."
"Thank you."
"Cough, Cough" came from Abigail and Susanna side of the dorm
"Aright I'll talk to you later" laughed Lily "well I'm heading off to bed its getting late so I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"Night" chorused all six girls.
Lily laughed at them at she walked down the stairs to the girls dormitory but the laugh didn't last long, for she recognized the loud voices of Potter and Black below, it was past eleven so the common room was empty the only Remus, James and Sirius were occupying it.
"James clam down think of what you're saying."
"Why would he clam down Remus, he always gets irrational on this subject."
"Well when somebody comes up to me and says something like that …"
"Well it wasn't what they think it was."
"Well the two of you are telling two different stories, didn't have any time to talk huh?" shouted James
"Are you kidding me? About ten people saw the fight between Regulus and I!"
"Really and who are these 'people' who saw this 'fight?'"
"I don't know I didn't stop and ask for their bloody names James!"
"Yeah that's what I thought! I can't believe you!"
"James come on think about what you're saying, Sirius doesn't even like her." Stressed Remus
"So when Robert Hanson, Madison Smith, Jessica Dwyer and Kathleen Bones all tell me the same thing that they saw you and Lily cuddling during lunch by then lake, but you and Lily tell me two different stories what am I supposed to believe?"
"This is stupid! I'm innocent I haven't done anything wrong and you're making such a big deal about a bloody girl who HATES YOU! SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU! GET OVER HER! IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!"
Remus knew that was too far and tried to stop him before it was too late SMACK! James's fist collided with Sirius's cheek they all stood shocked, it never got this far ever.
"I already lost one brother to stupidity I didn't think I would have to lose another" stated a disappointed Sirius, Remus giving James one last look before following Sirius to the dorm, and James stormed out the portrait hole.
Lily felt awful walking back to the dorm she couldn't stop thinking how would she fix this. It was her fault; she thought Sirius wouldn't want everyone to know he was upset, she shouldn't have lied especially not to his friends they would probably know how to cheer him up. Now how was she going to tell James without him thinking that maybe Sirius told her to tell him, that all of this was a misunderstanding, and then there was the fact she also didn't want them to know she eavesdropping either.
