The rest of the day was tiresome, Anna and Charlie kept trying to get Lily to tell them where she was, which Lily would have but she promised to the headmaster that she wouldn't tell, and she kept her word especially if someone's schooling was at stake. Especially it being the last year, it would be hard and an annoyance to get accepted into another school for your last year.
"Guys," She snapped during lunch. "I'm not going to tell you, drop it,"
"But-"
"Drop it," Lily snapped her eyes flaring up angrily. "It's none of your business, okay? I'm not going to tell you, live. With. It." She dropped her fork onto the table and stood up, slinging her bag over her shoulder. She grumbled walking to the doors out of the hall.
"Evans!" A voice yelled.
"What?" Lily asked as James skidded to a halt next to her.
"Are you alright? You looked as if you were fighting with your friends," He had a look of concern of his face that Lily hadn't noticed before, or had been too annoyed at him to notice.
Lily sighed and smiled briefly. "They want to know where I was and I'm obviously not going to tell them," She shrugged. "It's annoying me,"
He nodded thoughtfully. "Well, have a nice day,"
"You too James...Potter, you too Potter," Lily blushed softly and ducked out of the hall leaving a smiling James standing their bemused.
She walked outside, not wanting to stay inside for the remainder of her lunch break, she walked along the lake being careful not to walk to near that the lapping water would soak her socks.
"Lily," Lily heard Severus shout. She turned to watch him running down the lawn.
"Hey Sev," She said with a small smile.
"Are you okay?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, just Charlie and Anna, they keep bugging me to tell them something but I'm not allowed," Lily sighed and kicked at a clump of dirt near her foot.
"You were fighting with Charlie and Anna? Tell them what?" Severus asked with a frown.
"I'm not allowed to tell, that's the problem,"
"Not even me?"
She shook her head and bit her lip, Severus already knew Remus was a werewolf so it wouldn't hurt to confide in him would it? But Professor Dumbledore had said she couldn't tell anyone...but would it hurt to tell someone who already knew, though knowing Severus he would spaz if he found out that Lily had nearly been attacked by a werewolf.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked her,
"Stuff," Lily replied unhelpfully then a thought came to her. "You didn't know I was fighting with Charlie and Anna so why did you ask if I was alright?"
Severus looked slightly uncomfortable. "You were talking with Potter," He said his eyes suspicious as if wondering if she was planning anything.
"He was asking if I was alright," She said trying to shift the subject, she didn't like the look of suspicion on his face. "No Severus I don't want to hear you say that he's trying to make me go out with him by asking how I am," She snapped as he opened his mouth.
"I wasn't going to say such a thing," The Slytherin said with a slight frown. "I was going to ask what happened that means you don't absolutely hate him anymore,"
"None of your business and if it was, I can't tell you," She muttered and continued to walk down the edge of the lake. She looked back to see her friend frowning with concentration. "What is it Severus?"
"You can't tell me," He muttered. "Which means that you're not allowed to not you don't want to, and something to do with Potter..." Something flashed across his face. "It was a full moon last night wasn't it." He looked at Lily for her to confirm it, she nodded weakly bitting her lip hoping he wasn't about to explode. "Lupin," He half yelled his eyes were full of fury. "He?" Lily nodded, Professor Dumbledore said she couldn't tell anyone, he never said she couldn't confirm they were right if they guessed themselves. Severus glowered. "He could have killed you," His voice was low and full of fury. "How does this make you like Potter?"He asked incredulously. "He saved me," Lily said quietly walking back over to him, she gazed right into his eyes. "James and Sirius," "But what were you doing anywhere near him? How were you in the shrieking shack?" "I wasn't," Lily said trying to calm him down. "They weren't there yet and I wanted to know where they were going which stalled them and they couldn't get there in time, it was sort of my fault." "Lily," He said shaking his head. "It's not your fault. If it's anyone's fault it's Lupins." "He can't help his position," Lily snapped. "And don't try and blame it on another Marauder either, it's. Not. Their. Fault. Severus." Her eyes gleamed dangerously warning him to back off. "The same thing happened to me Lily, but Black," He spat out the name. "Had tricked me into going into the shrieking shack so that I would run into a full grown werewolf," Lily flinched at the fury in his words. "And you know what? Dumbledore didn't even think of expelling or even suspending him. Because, he was a Gryffindor."
"SEVERUS," Lily shouted she was shocked that Sirius had actually done a thing like that but she couldn't cope with how Severus was acting right now. "You, need to calm down, if you want to talk about this in a calm manner come and find me. Later," The tone of voice she used ended the discussion. "Have a nice day," She turned on him and walked back up to the castle.
Hope you enjoyed it, please review, I'll try get the next chapter up soon.
