Here's my awesome, psychedelic disclaimer!
This is Crys. I do not own Harry Potter, or any of the recognized
characters. See? C-R-Y-S does not spell J. K. Rowling. Neither does water
sprite. Just so you know. Don't be stupid like the McD's coffee lady and
sue.

Confrontations
It sounded as though it was getting closer. Lily can't walk in here! The Ancient Wizards weren't feeling kind though, and Lily walked up to Drew. Remus saw Chase stiffen at her appearance. "It's okay, Drew, you don't have to help me find her." she trailed off as she stared past him. A few seconds passed, then she looked back up at Drew. "Thanks," she said more curtly. "I can take it from here."
"If you're sure," he replied, looking a little unsure and a bit disappointed at not having an excuse to stay in her presence. After a moment, he walked back down the corridor, tossing over his shoulder, "You know where to find me if you need me, Lily."
Nodding and waving absently, she whirled back to face all five young men. Remus felt Ace go even more rigid at the mention of her name, all the conformation he needed. "Boys," she said, nodding politely at them. Polite, but not friendly. Uh oh, Remus thought. What did they do? Must've hit a nerve. More icily, she continued, focusing on her twin. "Chase." Chase blanched at the use of his proper name. She had never called him Chase, ever. When they were babies, she could only say "ace", so it stuck. Not once had he ever heard his given name on her lips and it hurt, twisting into his heart like a knife.
Sneering away his pain, he nodded curtly at her, his eyes cold. "Lillian."
"How's the Hogwarts life, Chase? Have you enjoyed it much these past five years? I see you replaced me; but I knew you would when you didn't say goodbye. When you just skipped into Remus' house, not looking back." Her voice quivered on this last line, almost losing it's cold facade. "Not once did you look back."
James and Sirius were confused. What's with them? Sirius thought. Can someone explain what's going on?!
"Lily." Chase seemed taken aback, and he stepped forward, trying to comfort her.
"No," she said softly, backing away from him. Then, more frantically, "NO! Don't come near me Chase Evans! You don't deserve to be near me! You put this distance here! You burnt the bridge. I didn't. I wouldn't." Tears sprang up in her eyes. She turned away, not wanting them to see the tears fall.
"Lily, don't cry, please don't cry. You know I can't stand to see you cry," Chase murmured, trying to be comforting from a distance.
"Stop it!" she screamed through sobs. "Stop pretending things are like they were. They'll never be the same, and that was your doing. You lost your chance, Chase Colby Evans. Don't pretend to express care for me, when I know differently. For all I care, you can burn in hell for eternity!" Whirling, she fled the compartment, slamming the door loudly behind her. The echoing silence was deafening, and they all stared at the slammed door.
"Well, fine!" Chase yelled out, fuming at the closed door. "Fine! Be that way Lily Evans! But you remember this!" He stormed out of the compartment also, and stalked off in the other direction.
Peter, who had woken up during all the commotion, asked dully, "Does this mean the prank's off?" This announcement was followed by silent disbelief. Then-
"This is all your fault," Remus snarled, sounding like the werewolf he was. He lifted Peter off the ground and slammed him into the wall in a rare show of violence. "What did I say to you? Huh? What did I say? I said 'Don't mention Lily to Ace.' What do you go and do? Great Godric, Worm! Did you think I just wanted to amuse myself by keeping that tidbit of information from Ace?? Urgh, I can't even look at you." Remus dropped him, and slammed himself into a chair at the other end of the compartment. After checking Peter's pulse (he fainted from fright, the wuss!), James joined Sirius at the other end of the compartment. Sirius was standing tentatively near Remus, watching him with wide black eyes.
"So." James said slowly. "Care to explain that little fiasco, Remus? Other secrets we need to know about the troublemaker, Lily? Any other people she used to know?"
Remus just growled in response.
"Come off it, Moony, we just want to help," Sirius pouted, acting like a first year.
"Yeah," James threw in. "It's like we're falling apart, ripping at the seams."
Remus sighed. "Oh, James, you're so melodramatic. True, the Marauders haven't ever fought before, at least-- not like this, but we're not 'falling apart'. One girl doesn't ruin so many friendships, especially in so little time, and certainly not on purpose. Don't you ever think about anyone besides yourself?"
"What's that supposed to mean, huh? I think about other people all the time! And if she's not making an effort, I'd hate to see what we'd do to each other if she did," James muttered, thoroughly annoyed.
"Please, James. Moony, it would make things somewhat easier if you'd shed a little light on this," Sirius begged, looking torn.
"I wish I could Padfoot, but it's really not my story to tell. I'm not sure Ace would want you guys to know just yet."
"Damn it!" Sirius yelled. "Moony, we want to help you, help Ace. We can't, not without knowing what's going on. I thought after the werewolf thing we all promised not to keep secrets. You and Ace were holding out. I suggest you start explaining."
A/N: Will he explain?! Who knows? Oh yeah, I do. Reviews are yummy in my tummy.
