Chapter Seven: Moony and Padfoot visit Tiger Lily
I waited here for so long
Thinkin' that you'd see
You just kept on runnin' away
You made your misery my company
Open up your eyes
Dont you know you only get one life
-Ashlee Simpson, Surrender
"Lily! Are you awake?" called a familiar voice.
I was wrapped in my blanket avoiding any source of human life. I'm just going to lay here the rest of the day and do nothing. That is my plan for today and if anyone dares the question me, they're going to regret it.
I heard footsteps come closer.
"Lily, aren't you planning to go to work today?" asked Mary as she took away my blanket
I sat up, "Hey give me that back! –I snatched the blanket from her- and no I'm not going to work nor to the facilities," I told her as I covered myself up again.
"Lily, just because you had a row with Potter doesn't mean you have to hide!" reasoned Mary as I felt her sit on my bed.
I sat up and looked at her.
"You know you're right! I'm going to do something!" I told her as I jumped of my bed and walked towards my closet.
"You can't hide, Lily," Mary told me watching me look for jeans.
I glared at her. " I'm not hiding! I just don't want to do anything today!!" I shouted at her as I looked for a shirt.
"Really, then why aren't you not going to work then Lily? You aren't that type of person to ditch work because you just feel like it," told me Mary as she sat there looking at me patiently as she had her hands on her lap.
" Really now? Well then today I don't feel like being Lily! Today I feel like being a slob!" I challenged her as I stood there in my knickers glaring at her.
Mary chuckled.
"They always said red-heads had a temper," she said as she walked out of my room.
"Well yeah you know what? That's just the most stupid thing I heard!" I shouted at her retreating back.
I looked at my bed, I was going to lie back down and do nothing the whole day. I want to feel numb. I don't want to think. I want to eat ice cream I want to watch a muggle movie and I'm going to take a long bubble bath. I think I deserve that. As I tried to shut the curtains I heard Mary open the door.
"Lily! You have visits!"
Who the bloody hell is going to badger me now? Grr.
As I walked to the living room (with out any pants, just my knickers). I find Sirius Black and Remus Lupin sitting at the couch. Remus eyes opened wide to see I wasn't wearing any pants, while Sirius just grinned. I placed my hand on my hips.
"May I help you gentlemen?" I asked sarcastically.
"Nice undies Lily!" told me Sirius as he winked at me. I rolled my eyes. I don't have to put up with them. They're disrupting my 'Me' time.
"I'm guessing there's a reason why you chose to come here and grace me with your company," I asked as I walked to the bathroom to get my robe. Apparently, Remus has never seen a girl in her knickers. I walked back to the living room and sat on the couch facing the two Marauders.
Remus looked relieved when I returned wearing a robe. Sirius smiled at me and spoke:
"James told us that both of you had a argument," Remus nodded.
So dear old James told his friends about his insensitivity. How sweet. Jerk.
"Really? And what did dear old James tell you, I'm dying to know?" I rolled my eyes. I don't even what to know. The fire that was burning within my stomach was now growing more. I was angry, I felt betrayed. I wanted to slap him really hard and leave my handprint on his cheek forever.
Remus sighed.
"He knows that what he said was very untactful, and regrets it. Deeply." Said Remus
"So he sends you two to apologize!" I shouted at both of them. What a bloody coward.
Both of them looked at each other.
"No, he didn't send us here. We just thought that we should come and make sure you don't do anything like Tiger Lily". Explained Sirius as he winked at me.
Tiger Lily? Who the bloody hell is that?
"Who the bloody hell is that?" I asked as I looked at both of them. They both grinned.
"That's what we call you when you go all crazy," explained Sirius as he yawned.
"What the bloody hell does that mean?" I asked both
"Well, when you kind of let loose. And you act…not like your usual self," explained Remus as he gave me an apologetic smile.
I raised my eyebrow. They gave me a nickname that I didn't know of? I have to admit it's sort of amusing. But that doesn't really explain why they're here.
"Ok. So you guys just came here so I wouldn't do anything harsh?" I asked
They both nodded.
"And to make sure that you knew that tomorrow is your test, and that James will be your instructor," said Sirius quickly as to brace himself from my yelling. But I smiled. I knew that Potter would be my test instructor and I'll be ready for it. But today I want to relax. Today I don't want to think of anything not Potter not work, not anything.
"It's ok Black. I already knew. More like I saw it coming." I told him as I shrugged.
"But are you sure you're ok?" asked Remus as he looked at me, concern in his eyes.
I nodded.
"Well besides the fact that my ex boyfriend doesn't acknowledge our relationship, and doesn't want to tell me the reason why he left me but other than that I'm fine." I told them as I smiled at both of them
Sirius chuckled.
" Don't worry. He will tell you. Whenever he stops acting like a bloody coward," said Remus as he smiled kindly at me.
"It would be nice to know," I agreed.
For some reason I wasn't upset. But I was still hurt. But in due time I will find out what Potter denies to inform me. Whether he liked it or not.
"So, do you guys want to go out?" I asked them both. After all these blokes just sort of cheered me up. And I didn't want to spend the day by myself.
They both nodded.
"Sure, why not?" answered Sirius as he looked at Remus, he shrugged and nodded.
"Great, lets go!" I got up and walked towards the door.
"Lily? You're not going to go out like that?" asked Remus as he pointed at my robe.
"Oh, right. I'll go change,"
