Sorry that I uploaded chapter 9 twice I meant to upload this chapter instead. SilverLining1294 for pointing that out to me.
Here is chapter 10.
Chapter 10: Betrayal
I couldn't believe she would do that to me. Here we were in the Three Broomsticks having a drink talking about our families and there she was whispering into his ear right across from me.
"Lily, are you listening to me. I listened to you when you told me about your sister. You should return the favour by listening back." Sam said annoyed.
"Sorry I was just distracted that's all. What were you saying about your father?" I asked. Even though I already knew.
Every shop we went into today he had mentioned how his father had given him a stack fall of gallons to spend on his girlfriend. I already knew he was rich he didn't have to tell me in Honeydukes, the quill shop, the new bookstore, the clothes store and once again when we walked in for lunch.
"Just that my father has received a lot from the Ministry after my mum died. They've been really good to us and got both my brothers great respected jobs in the Ministry." Sam explained.
"Sorry about you're mum. How old were you when she passed?" I asked sincerely.
"Um 12, I don't really like to talk about it since it still feels like it's just happened." He told me awkwardly.
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to bring it up. Let's talk about something else, like the upcoming Quiditch game who do you think is going to win?" I asked changing the subject still watching Sammie and James.
"Okay I didn't think you were really interested in Quiditch but I think Ravenclaw will win. Hufflepuff just don't have the right skills for the game." Sam replied.
And there we were talking about Quiditch. At first I was really into the conversation but then soon enough as Sam kept telling me about the great tickets his father won and how he got a signed uniform from the Puddlemere united team. The whole I've got more money then you was starting to bore me. I just felt like screaming yes I already know you're rich you don't have to constantly remind me.
"Hey so I remember you were looking at that necklace for a while and you didn't buy it. If you want we can go back to that store once we've had lunch and I'll buy it for you. I have more than enough money." Sam told me.
"That's alright you should really spend some of that money on yourself. We haven't gone to zonkos yet and since I won't buy anything you should." I told him.
"Nah that's alright I'm not really into zonkos I mean why would I enjoy making fun of other people when people just enjoy my jokes. I like to make people laugh but not by hurting others in the process." Sam explained.
"That's nice. You are really kind to others there isn't any wonder to why you're a prefect." I praised him.
"Thanks. Talking about prefects why was Potter still Head Boy at last night's meeting. I'm sure you agree that he doesn't deserve it after what he did to me. I was lucky the worst I had was two black eyes and a bloody nose. If it was anything worse I'm sure James would have been kicked out of school." Sam explained.
"But James is your Quditch captain why do you two hate each other?" I asked surely it wasn't me.
Well two years ago I caught James making out with Zara Keely in the change rooms after the Gryffindor try outs. This was the year I didn't get in and I was going back to ask what I needed to improve on. Any way it got out of hand and James started to put pressure onto Zara to have sex with him. She kept refusing and he was on top of her so she couldn't get away. Anyway he wasn't going to leave her so instead he raped her and I saw the whole thing. I was going to tell McGonagall but he saw me and threatened me." Sam said.
"Really, but Zara would always talk to James last year surely she wouldn't talk to him if he raped her." I asked. I didn't believe Sam's story at all and I was starting to lose trust in him. He didn't even get his facts right. Zara never tried out for quiditch and she had well still has a boyfriend for the last three years. I also didn't believe that James was capable of doing that.
"Yeah well I think they were also family friends." Sam pondered.
When the food arrived we didn't say anymore and I tried my best to enjoy my salad. I'm sure I would have if it wasn't for the fact that Sammie was giving James and massage and running her fingers up his neck.
I was enjoying my conversation with the guys and Sammie until Lily and Deran walked in and were lead to a table two away from us. Also as soon as they walked in Sammie got incredibly close to me.
"What are you doing?" I hissed quietly.
"Just play along. We are going to make my dear friend jealous." Sammie whispered back.
"How she doesn't like me. Doesn't her sitting over there with Deran prove that?" I asked.
"Let's find out." Sammie whispered back her lips right next to my ear.
I tried my best not to look over and see what Lily was doing. She seemed to be engaged in a conversation with Deran the whole time until their meal came. I tried my best to concentrate on what Remus and Peter were discussing but Sammie was behaving extremely weird and I couldn't help but always glance over to see how Lily was going. It actually looked like Deran was boring her.
Score for me but she had praised him so high saying that he was perfect so maybe I was just imagining it.
"James can you make it look like you're paying for my food as well. That will make it look like we're on a date." Sammie whispered quietly.
"Um okay sure." I replied confused.
What was Sammie trying to prove? I thought she wanted me to pay for her so when the waitress came over to collect the bill Sammie put up an argument saying she should pay it's only the first date. The look on Remus' face was priceless though he had no idea, well I didn't either.
"James you're supposed to put up a fight and pay for me." Sammie hissed.
"Oh Sammie, really it's no problem I'll pay for you." I said hesitantly.
"Fine, but I'll buy something for you later?" Sammie said raising her voice so the whole place could hear her.
"Okay." I replied still confused what was she trying to get out of all of this.
"Well I'm going to the bathroom, be back in a few minutes." She said quieter so only the three of us could hear. "Don't worry I'll pay you back as soon as we are out of sight."
"What was that all about? You didn't tell me you were dating Sammie?" Remus asked.
"I didn't know that I was either." I replied really confused now. When was I going to be told what was going on.
"Sammie she's coming in get ready for the interrogation." Sirius whispered quietly into the two way mirror. I had swiped James so I could communicate with Sirius who was currently sitting under James' invisibility cloak at the table behind Sam and Lily listening into their conversation.
"Sammie what do you think you are doing. You've completely betrayed me." Lily screeched.
Thanks for the warning Sirius I barely had enough time to put the mirror away.
"I'm sorry; I didn't know going to Hogsmeade with my friends was betraying you." I replied acting innocent.
"Don't give me that crap, you know James likes me why are you hanging off his arm and flirting with him." She snapped.
"Lily you can't have two guys, you're not that type of girl. You're going out with Sam and besides I'm not seeing James." I smirked.
It worked I hope Sirius could hear this although maybe he shouldn't. I didn't know how out of control this was going to get. Sirius should have enough tact to realise when to turn away and if he does hear something he will be smart enough not to bring it up. Luckily we were the only two in here as well.
"Oh don't give me that I saw what you were doing to him. Your lips were basically in his ear you defiantly aren't here as just friends." Lily replied her voice still raised.
I changed my tone from acting like I didn't know anything to admitting the plan. "It worked then." I said smugly.
"What worked?" Lily asked. Now it was her turn to be confused.
"The plan Sirius and I had to make you jealous. We both knew that you had feelings for James. Don't deny it, you have a perfectly good looking date sitting right across from you that you have claimed to be you're perfect guy and all you can do is watch whatever I'm doing with James. There is no way you can deny the truth now." She has been sprung.
"I wasn't going to. You're right I do have feelings for James. I've only just realised it but I'm seeing James. Now that you know I need your help. I asked my parents last night but I need an answer now before I make the wrong choice. Sam isn't my idea of the perfect guy anymore. I don't know if he is acting different or if I'm seeing him differently." She admitted.
"Well you have to choose between James and Sam. You can't string them both along. James can't wait forever he's been waiting for 7 years soon enough he is going to face reality and figure that you aren't going to want him. If you want James you have to let him know soon. It sounds like you don't want to be with Sam so I'd end that as soon as possible. You don't want to lead him on and give him false hopes of a future between the two of you." I advised. To be honest she came to the right friend. I've had all types of boyfriend situations.
"Okay it's just that I don't think James and I will last since we are always arguing and fighting. We have never been able to work out our differences. I want a relationship that will work, not something that will last a few days." Lily mentioned.
"Well you did alright for a month until Sam got in the way. Maybe when you go out there will be no one to tear you both apart. Besides you don't know what it will be like until you try. You bring out the best in James and he compliments you. It would be incredibly stupid if the two Head's don't date." I chuckled.
"You're right. What I have with Sam isn't going to last any longer with Sam I'll break up with him afterwards and I'll give James a chance. But not straight away that will look suspicious. People will think that I was cheating on Sam." Lily agreed.
"Alright it's a plan. Now I'm going to get back to the guys and pay James back for my meal." I said leaving Lily giggling behind.
"Alright Sirius, It's worked out you don't need to follow them anymore." I whispered into the mirror once the door to the girl's bathroom closed behind me.
"Actually I think I should. One of Sam's friends came up and talked to him while Lily was talking to you. I'm going to make sure Sam doesn't try anything on Lily besides you should have heard what Sam told Lily about James I just hoped she didn't believe it." Sirius whispered back.
"I don't think she did. Alright be careful and make sure Lily doesn't get hurt." I whispered back before turning the mirror off and re-joining James, Remus and Peter.
"You took you're time. What happened?" Remus asked raising his eyebrow. "And would you like to fill us in on what has been happening?"
"I got talking to Lily and don't worry you'll find out soon enough. James here's your money I owe you don't worry we don't have to keep up the act. I've got my answer." I told them all.
Remus and James groaned. I knew they wanted a better answer but they aren't getting one. Not until Lily and James are together.
"You know Lily I haven't even asked you the basic getting to know you stuff such as what's your favourite colour and favourite food." Sam mentioned as we were walking back to the castle.
"That's alright look Sam there's something I need to tell you." I replied.
"But you know there's a way that we can get to know each other extremely well." Sam said giving no indication that he had heard me.
"Sam we don't have to you see-" I was going to dump him but he interrupted me again.
"Lily before we enter this broom cupboard there is something I need to ask you." Sam said his voice soft and peaceful.
"Did you same broom cupboard and what do you want to ask me." I asked feeling slightly worried now.
I didn't want to have sex with him. Especially not in a broom closet.
"You were the one that got James reinstated as Head Boy and Quiditch captain weren't you?" Sam asked. There was no softness to his voice that had been there the whole day.
"How did you know about that the only people that I told are James and Sirius?" I asked.
"Did you really think that the governors weren't informed as well?" Sam replied pushing me up against the wall.
"You're dad told you." I said voicing my thoughts. It made sense now. I thought that suspending James from his leadership roles was harsh even for McGonagall. "Your dad was going to pay McGonagall to suspend James wasn't she?" I asked. "That's why none of the girls you've been with have told the school about you. Daddy paid them well enough so they couldn't. How could I have been so stupid to have trusted you?" I said fiercely.
"Guess what, you're going to be another one." Sam smirked wickedly.
"No. I'm not getting in that broom cupboard. I'm not having sex with you and I'm not being paid to keep quiet." I said stubbornly.
"Well you are getting in that broom cupboard even if I have to make you. Besides you've already been half paid off." Sam replied grabbing my arm and forcing me in the cupboard.
He had strong grip and was much stronger than me. He only needed one arm to drag me into the small tight space even as I was trying to pull away. It was dark once the door was shut and I could only see the dark shape that was Sam pushing me up against the wall.
"You wouldn't rape me would you?" Even though I knew he would. It wasn't James that raped Zara it was him.
"I've done it before and who knows maybe you'll enjoy it. As I said before this is the best way to get to know someone." Sam replied flashing his pearly white teeth. My only source of light.
There was no way I was letting him rape me. I'm stronger then that I had to at least go down without a fight. I just had to find my wand.
"You raped Zara didn't you not James. You were trying to shift the blame onto someone else. How can you be so heartless?" I replied.
He just shrugged like he had committed no crime and moved his hands up to my arse and he had pressed his body up against mine trapping me in. I still had my voice though and my arms. I really wanted to knock his teeth out. Maybe then girls would be able to resist his once charming smile.
"You were so nice. Why did you have to change?" I asked stalling for time until I could think of something to do.
"I had to act nice. You wouldn't go out with me otherwise. Now stop talking and get on with it otherwise we'll be here all night." Sam said forcefully.
"Fine we'll stay here all night. I'm not doing this with you." I told him crossing my arms across my chest.
Like that's going to do anything Lily. I told myself.
"You know what I've tried playing nice with you but one way or another I'm getting in your pants and since you don't want to play nice." He said grabbing my arm and twisting it.
I screamed out in pain fearing that he was going to dislocate my shoulder. My other arm was useless i couldn't fight back with my left arm. I was right handed and that was the arm that was being twisted.
The only thing left was to head-butt him but that would probably hurt me even more. I was going to have to wait until my legs were free. He was still twisting me arm and I could feel the muscles twisting around under my skin. I just needed him to shift a bit more to the right so I could move my leg right up to where it hurts. For now maybe if I keep screaming someone will hear.
Someone has to be around to hear me. Everyone would be returning for Hogsmeade now.
I could hear footsteps coming closer to the door. "Please someone help." I screamed again.
"Shut up bitch." Sam shouted at me letting go of my hand to cover my mouth.
I clamped my teeth down around his hand hard and he yelped out in pain jumping back. That was all that I needed. I moved my right leg up and kicked him right in the balls. I ran right for the door where someone was struggling with the handle trying to open it. Now able to reach my wand I aimed it at the door handle and blasted the door open.
I ran right into the person who was trying to save me and collapsed right into their arms. It didn't matter who it was. I didn't care. Sam couldn't hurt me now.
Well I was surprised maybe Sam wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe it was all in my head. Although the story about James rapping Zara was a bunch of bullshit. I have to admit it was creative to make up on the spot I wonder how many girls he had told that story too. Lily couldn't be the only one.
I watched from a good distance behind them as they headed up to the castle. Well Lily was safe. From what I interpreted from her chat with Sammie she was going to dump him once they got back to the castle. If Sam was going to do anything he missed his chance. Lily wouldn't give in to him anyway. Not now I saw what she did to Avery and my brother as long as she had her wand she'll be fine.
I had stopped in the middle of the road leading up to the castle and forgot about the people walking behind me because someone walked into me.
"Sirius what the hell, I thought you were following Lily not blocking people from walking." Sammie hissed.
"Oh good luckily it was Sammie, she knew about the invisibility cloak so I wouldn't have any awkward conversations with anyone else.
No one else was around for them to see me taking of the cloak so I could have a proper conversation with Sammie.
"It's all good they just went up to the castle. I thought you were with James and Remus?" I asked.
"Yeah I was I left them behind in Zonkos. What do you mean its good they went up to the castle that's where all the broom closets are!" Sammie said.
"Shit." I replied running straight up to the castle hopefully I could catch them.
I got into the castle and caught Lily being forced into a broom closet near the stairs just outside the Great Hall. Why would Deran chose that one, you can hear everything that's happening outside. It isn't the best for romantic moments. I ran up to the door and tried to open it but Deran must have locked it.
"Help, someone help me." I heard Lily scream. It was a very high pitch scream as well I couldn't have been the only one to hear it.
I wrestled with the door handle more but no amount of muscle was going to make it budge. Of course alohamora would work better but when I went to reach for my wand the door was forced open anyway and a very hysterical Lily emerged collapsing into my arms.
A/N
So what do you think of this chapter. Well SkidRow4ever, IwillAKyou and emiily15 you were right. James and Sirius were telling the truth and Lily finally realised that. I'm sorry for any Lily fans that have read my fic and think that she isn't the girl that J.K. Rowling made her out to be but I thought the arguments between Lily and James couldn't just be James' fault, Lily had to have some fault aswell. Please continue reading and let me know what you think it's always good to know the feedback.
