DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING HARRY POTTER RELATED.... Yadda yadda yadda same old same old
"But, James that's not fair to Lily. She was miserable before she met Bryan who made her happy, and helped her move on. You two are in totally different places right now! Think about it."
"But... I want her back! I want her to be mine! Not his, he doesn't love her the way I do!"
"James, we know that and she knows that, but you also know Lily. She's not going to break off the engagement, she just can't do that. The best you could be to her now is a friend."
"But, I won't be happy with being just friends, you know that!"
"Yes, we know that Prongs, but Moony has a point." Sirius had his signature glint in his eyes when he spoke, he had an idea and I would be happy with it.
"I guess he does. Moony, you're right I'm sorry to have yelled at you know if you'll leave I would like to continue on with these." I gestured to the mounds of letters still laying in on the bed, and they left me in peace to continue on with a plan forming in my mind, that hopefully was in Sirius' as well.
Days passed slowly for Lily and James, both wondering how they ended up where they were. They spoke to no one except their minds and consciences. The letters all being read with thoughts floating through their minds. For Lily she went through the actions of her days through a dazed trance unsure of which she should listen to her mind, her heart, or her gut all three equally pulling her. She was staying with Marlene attempting to get away from everything from Bryan raging about how James left her heartbroken, to not daring to try to face James' broken heart and to Sirius attempting to hint she has always belonged with James.
James kept to himself in the flat he was sharing with Sirius, never leaving his room. He re-read her letters to him over and over again wondering how she could just give it all up, and not stay and wait or even check their box on the main floor. His 2 new loves became firewhiskey and those letters, never leaving his room except to get more whiskey or food.
Merlin... What on Earth am I going to do, I'm worried sick about James and what he's doing to himself yet I shouldn't I'm not his anymore yet he's still mine, but he shouldn't still be mine. I've committed myself to Bryan, I can't just leave him because James is back, how do I know James will never leave again?
"Lils? Lily? I'm home"
"Wha- oh, Marlene... hey"
"Darling, you've got to stop moping! It's bad for your complexion." Leave it to Marlene to think about looks during an emotional period in my life.
"I know... well actually that's a lie but still... It's hard to care about looks when I have to choose someone and hurt someone so very dear to me." I began to walk away back into the room I was occupying in her tiny little flat when she stopped me and told me she had an idea that was bound to work.
"James! Get out here right now!" Ouch... That's loud, why do I have a headache and why am I being woken up at, well early? "Stop it! This is sicking mate and it's time for an intervention so, GET OUT OF BED!" suddenly i was flung above my bed and promptly turned upside down.
"Bloody Hell! Sirius you git! What's that for?! I feel horrible and you go do this to me?!" Only i realized he had silenced me shortly after I called him a git.
"James, you're a mess! What do you think Lily would say if she saw you like this? Do you think she'd choose you?" Remus asked walking into the room behind Padfoot letting me fall head-first onto my bed.
"She already made her choice. She choose Bryan."
"Tsk, tsk, Prongsie, are you not going to fight for her? And what makes you think she's made a decision yet?" Sirius said throwing me a tonic.
"Thanks mate," I started after gulping down the potion to which he nodded in reply. "Ummm... In case you weren't aware, they're engaged!"
"Yet she has yet to choose a date or location yet. She's been putting off any type of planning for a while come to think of it." Said Remus sitting on one side of me while Sirius occupied the other.
"She hasn't? But she loves him, he's perfect for her, his job doesn't put him in danger on a daily basis."
"That may be true but you know Lily, she's the most loyal person you've ever met besides us."
"Obviously, she's changed! She's bloody engaged to that, that, person-thing."
"True, but who says a little bit of mischief won't change that?" The look on Remus' face surprised me the most after he replied, he wore a look that I only ever expected to see Sirius wearing and then I remembered my plan which I drunkenly forgot about.
I cannot believe I let her talk me into this. She is out of her mind, delusional, crazy! If Marlene thinks going out to clubs will help solve all my problems then I don't know why I'm even friends with her still. Suddenly the sea of people begins to part and,
"Marlene,is that SIRIUS?!" Bloody Hell is she trying to make me die?
"What, no that's just his ummmm twin?" She's fidgiting great, something very wrong is going on and she's trying to hide it all from me.
"Ladies, how odd to bump into you on this fine Tuesday night." He said, turning back the way he came from to yell, "Boys they're here get the tables ready!!"
"Alright you two what in Merlin's beard is-" suddenly I felt a hand rest on the small of my back, "James? I told you I don't want to see you until I can wrap my brain around it all"
"Actually, it's Bryan but I'll leave if you don't want-"
"Nonsense, Bryan ma-boy" Sirius exclaimed grabbing a hold of Bryan's hand pulling him away from me and towards the stage, "You're just in time!" I'm confused beyond belief just in time for what...??
"James! Darling, so great to finally see you again!" Wait... why's Marlene talking to James, what is he even doing here?
"Marlene! Sirius! What the Hell is going on here?!" I yelled trying to gain their attention only to be ignored.
"Lily, after all these years I've learned simply to just smile and nod and wait for their plans to backfire." A voice said behind me, slowly pushing me towards the tables I can only assume Sirius was referring to earlier.
"Remus John Lupin! What is going on?" I turned towards him, doing my best to glare daggers at him, "Remus... Remy... please I can't see them right now!"
"Believe me Lils I know but this will back fire before you know it." And with a smile on my old friends face i was gently pushed into a chair next to a wall.
This was not what I thought Sirius and I were both silently thinking... This is stupid it will never work! A muggle-type game show? What on Earth have they been doing while I was gone, play with Muggle toys and contraptions? I can't even see Lils all I can see is that stupid-quidditch player, whose team isn't even that good... hmph...
"Sirius, I honestly don't think this is a good idea." Remus told his old friend quietly after finally convincing Lily to be quiet and stay seated.
"Nonsense, it'll work and I will prove you wrong once again." Sirius boasted loudly to his old friend.
"When have you ever been right, and this is not when I meant by get them in the same room as each other by the way!" Remus nearly yelled.
