Lily walked slowly, but surprisingly happy, back to the Gryffindor common room. She didn't know what exactly she would do or say to James but she wasn't really worried about that. Things were usually pretty natural with him, it was never hard to talk to him.
"Felix felicis" She said to the Fat lady, who smiles and emitted her to the common room. James was no where to be found so she went up the her room to continue getting ready. For the first time she wanted to make sure she looked pretty decent when she talked to James. There she met Alice and Marry who were obviously waiting for her. They smiled (Much less smugly than before, they didn't want to upset her again) when she walked in.
"Finally!" Marry said
Alice ignored her and said "Well, hello. Did you have a nice bath?"
"Yes, actually." She said and couldn't help but smile broadly which confused the girls. What was going on? they thought.
"You look happy." Alice said, even though it was a statement there was clearly a question in it.
"I had a lot to think about. And I came to a conclusion that will shock you two." Lily said still smiling.
The girls both got very excited but were still skeptical. "Does it involve James?" They asked.
"Yes." She said shyly.
They talked about what Lily had thought about and what she finally decided and what she would do. When she was finally ready she left alone to go find James. Leaving the two ecstatic, giggling girls behind her.
She came to the common room and found Peter.
"Hey, Peter. Have you seen James?" She asked
"Yeah, He left a little bit a go. He went to the Great hall for breakfast, I think."
"Kay, thanks."
She didn't have to go far to find him. As soon as she walked out of the portrait hole she saw him, Standing just feet to the left. As soon as she saw him her stomach sank. His face was immersed in a 7th year Ravenclaws mouth. They were making out and Lily was disgusted, she only looked for a moment then said "Get a room.". James looked up and saw her she looked down to hide the tears that were welling up in her eyes and walked quickly down the steps to get away from them. James had heard the pain in her voice and was shocked. What was that about, since when does Lily care about who I kiss? But the tears he had seen were unmistakable. He felt terrible. Did I really hurt her? He didn't know if he should follow her or not.
He did, he ran as fast as he could and finally caught up with her leaving the nameless girl behind without a word.
"Lily!.. Lily, are you okay?" He said running in front of her to cut her off. He looked sincerely concerned into her face but all he saw was anger.
"Leave me alone, James. I have no desire to talk to you. Not now not ever!" She said in her anger. This hit James like a slap in the face. He had been right about her, she didn't want him, not now, not ever. He looked down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you felt that way… I just… nothing never mind. Have a nice life, Lily." He said and he turned and walked away.
Alice and Marry walked into the great hall shortly after Lily and were surprised to see her alone and looking much less happy than he had earlier. In fact her demeanor reminded them of how James had looked for the last month.
"Oh, God. What happened?" Alice said to Marry and they walked over to her and sat silently.
"I don't want to talk about it" Lily said as soon as she saw them. They looked at each other concerned but didn't say another word. They would figure out what happened sooner or later…
