Lily closed her Potions text book and set it to the side. She neatly set her essay on her pile of homework that was finished. Her hand hurt from writing, and her her quill needed to be replaced. She heard the portrait open, and James stepped in. The head's dorm was cluttered with books and pieces of walked over to her and sat down beside her, rubbing her back. Lily smilied slightly, but didn't look up.
"Uh, Lils?" James asked.
" Hmm?"
" We need to talk."
Lily's smile fell. After James had found Lily in tears, he hadn't tried to talk to her. He walked by her in the hallways, sat by her at lunch, and sat with her in the library, but he never tried to engage in conservation. He knew she had needed him, and he had been their. Sirius kept silent, at James's request. Sirius would often come and hang out in the Head's dorm, but he never tried to talk to Lily. They knew she had needed the silence and the time. James was always by her in the hallways, to stop any jealous girls from trying to harm her. Lily never had to tell him about her unease in the hallways.
Lily knew she should have expected it. She had been hoping he would have forgot. But he was James Potter, who didn't forget.
Lily decided to keep working, and hope he would decide to talk to her later. She grabbed a new piece of parchment, and began her Charms essay. James watched her intently.
" Lily, we need to talk." He repeated. a little fierce.
Lily dipped her quill in ink and began writing. She heard James sigh tiredly, and tried to pretend she hadn't heard him.
"Lily!" James snapped.
Lily continued writing, dipping her quill in ink again.
James quickly grabbed the quill from her hand and set it beside him so Lily couldn't reach it.
Lily looked up angrily. "Give me back my quill Potter."
James shook his head, a mixture of anger in hurt shown in his face. "Lily, we need to talk."
" Potter, and I need to do homework. GIVE ME BACK MY QUILL." Lily snarled, her voice rising. She jumped up angrily.
James stood up so they were facing each other, grabbing her wand off the table.
" What are you doing with my wand? Give it to me!" Lily yelled.
James slipped her wand in his robes, not even flinching as Lily yelled at him.
Lily couldn't say anything else, because the potrait opened, and Alice stepped in. She was smiling gleefully.
" Lily, I need to talk to ! I have something to tell you!" Alice yelled happily.
She grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her out the potrait door, saying hi and bye to James as she went. Lily heard James mutter something, and he swirled around and marched up to his room. Lily watched him sadly.
