Sorry for hurting you
Part
2
Remus'
jaw dropped. Peter widened his eyes. They were sitting stiffly, like preserved
mummies. (Boy, how I wanted Peter to be one!)
"Are
you serious?"
Sirius' hairs were
standing in surprise. "Of course I'm serious!"
"A One Year Slytherin
would know Sirius Black from 10 m distance."
Sirius
stared at Peter coldly. "You know, Peter? Maybe you are the most pathetic
person I have ever met. That joke was stale for almost 2 years."
"Sorry---"
"That's
not the problem, Sirius. Had you have your apologize to Lily?"
Sirius'
face started to pale (again). "Yeah, that's the problem. Well, my body
didn't want to move closer to her and my mouth won't say 'Hey, Lil. I am really
sorry."
"What?
You're not brave?"
"Like
you are, Peter!" Sirius shouted and Peter went dumb. "And---er… I thought I
would try the Owl-Post-Way."
"Yeah,
I have read it. Really, really sucks, you're not good in writing." Remus
criticized.
"Oh, you have? Where? I
thought I---" Sirius stopped dead. "I---"
"Left
it like that somewhere near a large stain of emerald ink in the Common Room."
(Silent)
"You
know, Sirius---" Remus' voice cleared the silence. "If I were you, I won't do
that. It's too dangerous if someone read it accidentally."
Sirius
stood abruptly. "Let's pray no one did."

It's
not difficult to find Lily, especially in the time when the NEWTs were
approaching in a count of days for the 7th years.
Calmly, Lily Evans were
sitting in one of the corner of the library, with piles of books with every
kind of shapes above the table, and concentrating fully to a thick book in
front of her.
If
James Potter wasn't blinded by his endless fury, maybe he could see visibly the
confused and frightened faces of they (large number of Hogwarts' students, especially
7th years) who were at the library. Even his steps, they thought,
could make earthquakes.
James
Potter's condition was so attractive so all of the eyes in the library
followed him until he stopped in front of the figure of Lily Evans, Head Girl,
a 17th years old Ravenclaw, and he stood still there, stared her
with a look that could melt the South Pole's mountains.
Lily herself didn't
realize James' presence till she just wanted to change the page of her book.
"James!
What's---" Her green eyes were shining just to saw him. But she looked at his
expression, and quickly she changed her voice tone. "What happened, James?"
James didn't answer. He
threw the parchment with Sirius' handwritings in front of her, above the book
that she supposed to read. "I need explanation."
Lily
silenced. Once again she was concentrating, but for another purpose, for the
parchment.
"I
need explanation." James repeated. He held his breaths just like holding tears
to come out. "Is it true, what had he written?"
The atmosphere tensed.
They even didn't notice every heads that were watching for their direction,
didn't move like watching Muggle's suspense movies.
It's
a long time waiting for judgment day… Maybe that was they had in their mind
while waiting Lily's mumbles.
"Er---
That's…"
"ANSWER
ME!"
"Yes."
Everyone
gasped.
"But
what I meant was---"
Before
Lily finished her sentence, James was at top of his voice, "HOW DARE YOU!
F@*!ng WITH THAT SIRIUS BLACK WHILE I YOUR BOYFRIEND NEVER DID ANYTHING MORE
THAT TOUCHING YOUR @$$!!!!"
The
audiences there (including our beloved Librarian, Madame Pince) felt something
was ripping the air. They gazed at each other.
0,001
second after James finished his sentence, Lily started. "You haven't heard my
explanation, James!!!"
"I
don't need any explanation! I knew it all! You know what will happen to us
after this!? WE'RE OVER!! You heard!? Or I had to spell it for you,
O-V-E-R!!!!!!"
Lily
was shocked, as the audience was.
James
stared at Lily with this-is-the-last-time-I-am-seeing-you-look, then he moved
his feet straight to the library's exit.
Lily
was still stunned when James went away. She didn't even hear Madame Pince
muttered, "20 points… no, 10 points, no… oh, no. I don't feel like taking any
points… Just let Albus handle it… Language… attitude… even marriage
relationship… what would happen to the next generation…?"
At
that time, the audience was separated to few classes, sympathetic to Lily/James
ones, pathetically thinking ones, or confused ones.
Now,
which class do you belong?

A/N: Sorry, it hadn't been to the spell checker. Well, Sorry due to my English. Queen JK Rowling owns all subjects, predicates, objects, and adverbs of the "Harry Potter" kingdom with Warner Bros, Bloomsbury and other affiliates as her ministers! You could compared her USA-sized kingdom with my little 3x3 meters room.
To red_shiva (or) Tempestiarii: Well, thanks. Lazy to talk
in English, eh? Sama, gue juga males banget. Sorry about your "Sunny Side Up"!
Gue baru ngetik ampe 1 hal elo! Punggung gue capek (urutin donk? Hee hee)
ToWolf's Eyes: Of course I know JK Rowling is female! It's
just my… confused mind?
