Chapter 10

Sirius and James burst into the common room looking flushed. Remus followed them with a smile on his face.

"LILY EVANS!" James screamed running up to her. "WHAT THE HELLA RE YOU PLAYING AT, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU."

Lily smirked to herself. She had got them back good. "What do you mean?" She said shocked. Gryffindors in the common room turned to watch their argument. Lily saw this and decided to carry on the joke.

"Don't you want me anymore." She held her head in her hands and started 'crying'. James looked around at the people looking disgustedly at him. His eyes widened at Sirius who was looking the same. He put his arm round Lily and sat next to her.

"What are you doing Lily?" James hissed at her. "You're making people think I'm some kind of monster." Lily wailed loudly.

"I can't just get rid of my baby, I don't care what you say about me. So what if I'm a slag and you don't want anything to do with me, I don't care. I'm having this baby whether you like it or not!" With that she turned and ran quickly to her dorm before anyone could see the huge grin plastered on her face.

"James!" Katie cried out and slapped him round the face.

"How could you James!" Liz added and they both ran laughing up the stairs.

"I'm sorry but Sirius you deserved what happened in the great hall. James, you didn't deserve as much what you got. but I'm sure you'll think twice before messing with Lily." Remus chuckled to himself. "You guys coming up to bed?" Remus asked. The two marauders sat in silence.

"I'll take that as a no." Remus said quietly to himself before retreating to his dormitory.

James held his face not uttering a word. He shook his head slightly.

"I don't believe this." he muttered to himself.

"What about me?" Sirius said. "Now every girl thinks that I have a flop."

"they don't think you have a flop."

"yes they do."

"no they don't"

"Yes they do."

"Look, Sirius, I'm not in the mood for you're stupid games at the moment. Even though girls think you have a flop it won't stop them from going with you. Now if you don't mind leave me the hell alone."

"Ooohh touchy, touchy." Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows.

"as I said a minute ago, fuck off." James said annoyed. Sirius looked at James hurt.

"You don't have to bloody take it out on me." He said his eyes narrowing.

"You know what Sirius, you're wrong. I do have to take it out on you. Its all you're stinking fault that this happened. If it weren't for you the whole school wouldn't hate me right now."

"The whole school doesn't hate you." Sirius said slowly.

"Ok, lets put it in other terms." James said eyeing Sirius. "The whole school thinks I'm a stupid bastard."

"That's more like it." Sirius joked.

"I don't even know how you can joke about it." James said his voice sounded more and more harsher by the second.

"I would understand if I had made up the rumours. but it was you."

"Dude, I don't understand why this has upset you so much." Sirius looked at his friend carefully. He had never seen him this upset.

James ran a hand through his hair. "It's just that, Oh I don't know. I just don't like people seeing badly of me. And at the moment everyone thinks I'm a bad person. I just can't stand to see that. I really can't."

"James buddy, we're marauders. We don't care what people think of us."

"No Sirius!" James shouted. The few people that were left in the common room turned and stared. They were luckily for James in lower years so he ordered them to go to bed.

"You don't care what people think of you. I do." James turned away from Sirius.

" James, You've never been bothered before. you're strong you can deal with this."

"But I'm not strong. you don't understand. I don't think you could ever understand."

Sirius pulled James round by his shoulder. "James. Tell me what's wrong. Why can't I understand. You've been my best friend for 16 years. We're...were like the same person. I can't believe you said I wouldn't understand."

"Well it wasn't you're parents that died was it?" James said softly tears springing to his eyes. Sirius fell silent.

"Is this what this is all about?" he said softly. "You're parents?."

"Yes...no...oh I don't know." James said sitting down and holding his head in his hands blinking back the tears.

"It's just all my life they've been there. Telling me to take pride of myself. To give of a good impression. ' Don't let us down'. My dad told me when I first came to Hogwarts. 'keep the Potter name a good one'." A tear escaped his eye and trickled down his cheek.

"Well, well done James. Kept up the name well here. Everyone hates me. Things I'm a scumbag who will get someone pregnant and then just leave them." tears began rolling down his cheeks. Sirius sat down next to him and put a friendly arm round him. "I...I wouldn't leave her." James choked out between sobs. "you know I wouldn't Sirius." He said his voice cracking. "I couldn't let my parents down like that."

"I know, I know." Sirius said not quite sure what to say. James was right. He didn't understand. His parents were still here. He had someone to talk to. Someone who loved him. Someone he could go to whenever he wanted. James had that of course. But not the way he wanted it. Not from his parents.

"James listen to me." Sirius said quietly. "No-one thinks badly of you. They will become aware its just a rumour. So don't worry about it."

"I just...Don't want people to think I'm like that." James stuttered.

"Come on James." Sirius gave him a weak smile. "Let's get you up to bed. You need a good nights sleep to sort yourself out."

"Yeah, you're right." James said wiping his face with his robes and getting up. They walked across the common room in silence.

"Sirius, Thanks for being there." James said smiling at his friend.

"Anytime." Sirius grinned back and enveloped James in a hug. With that they retreated up to their dormitory. Lily however who had been standing at the top of the stairs listening to the whole conversation didn't go to her dormitory. She sat on the stairs thinking about what she had just heard. And how she could ever get James Potter to forgive her.
