Thanks, to all who reviewed. And if you have any ideas feel free to e-mail it to me or pm it. The same goes for any confusion. Please keep reviewing. Oh and since this is rated T or so I will use innuendos, if you need any translations feel free to ask. Thank you. I'm currently suffering from a writers block so until that is fixed I will be writing in flashbacks.
Chapter Nine
"Hey Lily." Jane smiled as Lily walked in staring intently at her shoes. "You ok?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just thinking about my homework." Lily said, smiling slightly. She made her way to the bed next to Jane and sat down.
"Lily…" Jane started, whispered putting a hand on her knee. "What's really wrong?"
"Nothing. I just have, like, three classes of homework I haven't finished and we go back tomorrow."
Jane didn't question her any more as she pulled out her own homework. Though that didn't stop her from speculating in her head.
'They didn't. Did they? If they'd already hexed I'd have heard about it. I mean for one James would be über happy. And then Sirius would've figured it out and he would've told me. Right?' Jane thought, watching Lilly.
Lilly turned from her books to face her. "What?" She snapped.
"Touchy. I was just wondering how to do number twelve." Jane asked, trying to smooth the vibe down.
"Oh, sorry. Here." Lily said handing Jane her notes.
"Thanks." Jane took them, looking her over.
"What is it?" Lilly snapped, obviously trying to keep her cool.
"It's just…you've been spacey lately…and…well, you and James haven't hexed right?" Jane asked, setting Lily's notes in her own pile.
Lily hopped off her bed and started to gather her books. "That is none of your business!"
Jane grabbed her wrist. "When?"
Lily glared at the wall, knowing that if she even glanced at Jane, she'd know.
"Lily, were best friends. I told you when Sirius and I did."
She sighed, knowing Jane was right. "The first time? About three months ago, back in October."
"See that wasn't so hard to tell me now was it?" Jane asked smiling.
Lily glared at her now. "I'm pregnant."
Jane's smiled disappeared. "What?"
Lily sat on Jane's bed with her, dropping her angry act. "I'm pregnant. About two months along."
"Did you see Madam Pomfry? I mean maybe you aren't and you just think you are." Jane tried to reason.
"No. When I was home over Christmas I went to a Muggle doctor. I couldn't risk my parents or the headmaster finding out."
"Wow. Does James know?"
Lily scoffed. "Of course not. He'd turn tail the second he found out."
"No he wouldn't."
"Yes, he would. That's why I was being such a jerk. I figured if I was a jerk to you and James then neither of you would find out and James would have a reason to break up with me."
"Wait, you want him to leave?"
"No. I just want to pass my newts. I want a good job. My parent's will take care of raising it if I have a steady job."
"What about James? I mean, it is his too. He loves you."
"If he loved me he'd have told me already." Lily snapped.
"Maybe he's just scared you'll run away." Jane snapped back.
"What?"
"James hasn't had exactly the best time with relationships. His first year he dated this third year, he brought her home to meet mom and dad and he told he loved her on the train back to Hogwarts where she promptly laughed in his face and continued to do so every time she saw him, until he was a third year. So you see why he doesn't say it every second he sees you?" Jane said, putting her hand comfortingly on her shoulder.
Lily smiled slightly at her best friend.
"Hi James." A group of first year girls giggled as Sirius and James passed by on their way to their own car.
"Hey girls." James smiled, slightly running his hand through his hair habitually.
The girls giggles followed them as they entered the car Jane and Lily had set aside.
"Hey girls." James smiled as he put an arm around Lily's waist.
"What did you do to those girls, James?" Jane asked jokingly.
"Old habits die hard." James smiled at them innocently.
"Big head." Lily mumbled, never taking her eyes off her parchment.
James smiled at her. "You work too hard sometimes you know that?"
"James--" Lily started, turning to face him. Ready to tell him off when his lips met hers and her mind turned blank.
Sirius and Jane shared a glance, smiling at each other in approval.
The car door slid opened as RJ and Peter made their way in, barley disturbing James and Lily.
"Hey guys." The two said, taking a few moments to actually breath.
"Oh don't mind us." RJ laughed.
Jane glanced at Lily briefly before shaking her head.
Lily pulled away from James, "I really need to finish this." She explained, looking slightly saddened.
James smiled. "Like I said. You work too hard." He turned his attention now to Sirius and RJ.
"We have to play Ravenclaw next week don't we?" Jane asked him.
"Yeah, double practices starting Monday." James informed her.
"Double?" Sirius asked him, shocked.
"Yeah. We lost to them last time. If we lose again we can't win the cup." James scoffed.
