Haley woke up the next day to Lily moaning.
"Oh man," she complained. "It's bright in here."
"Well if you hadn't been out half the night drinking you wouldn't be IN this state," muttered Christina.
"Would you mind not shouting?" asked Lily. "My head is pounding." Christina didn't bother pointing out that she had been practically whispering. Instead she jumped out of bed and got dressed. As it was Sunday robes were not essential so Lily threw on the first thing that she could reach. She dragged a brush through her hair and cleaned the make-up off her face. Haley and Christina left the room and left Lily to follow them. She lit her cigarette and walked to the hall, her face pale. Lily ignored Baz who was shooting her dirty looks and walked to her own table.
"What happened with you and Baz?" asked Haley, unable to hide her curiousness. Lily groaned.
"Don't talk to me about him," she said. "He's all cranky cos' I kissed some local last night. I mean it was nothing. Just a harmless little kiss"
"Yea right," said the little voice in her head. "That "harmless kiss" lasted at least a half an hour and "some local" was actually Baz's 21 year old friend, Jake."
"Shut up," grumbled Lily to herself. "It didn't mean anything."
"Sure…." Began the voice but Lily dismissed it.
Throughout the day Lily found herself pushed to the side by Christina and Haley.
"What's WRONG with you guys?" she asked.
"Next time you have a boyfriend maybe you'll think twice about pushing us out of your lives," snapped Christina. They walked off leaving Lily standing there by herself. Lily did a lot of thinking that day. She sat under a large oak tree in the grounds and thought. Baz approached her somewhere around 6 o clock.
"Lils, baby," he said. "I forgive you." He leaned over to kiss her.
"Baz," she said. "It's been great and all but this, us, is over. You're just not my type." She turned to walk away. "And one more thing: DON'T call me baby. She strolled off, leaving Baz looking as if he had been punched in the stomach.
Lily sat in the common room, on an armchair by the fire, reading a book. It was the exact same scene as the one our story started off with but this time when Haley and Christina walked in they didn't say a word to her. Lily sighed and walked to the kitchens. Had she ruined her friendship with the girls for good? She tickled the pear glumly and pulled open the door.
There she came face to face with none other than the Marauders. (-Sorry for being so predictable-) Sirius and Remus walked right past her but James hesitated.
"Hi," she said, testily. He didn't say anything.
"You coming, James?" asked Sirius, glaring at Lily.
"I'll be up in a minute. Go on without me."
"Suit yourself."
"So…" said Lily, with fake perkiness. "What have you been up to?" He stared at her stonily.
"If you hadn't abandoned us you'd know that," he replied, gravely.
"I know," said Lily. "And I'm sooooooooo sorry." She began to sob. James looked at her, awkwardly. She sank into a chair.
"It's just Baz and he was my first proper boyfriend and I just wanted to fit into his group and then everything started spinning out of control and I was scared but I didn't want to show it and and and………..Lily's back heaved with sobs and James put a comforting arm around her.
"It's okay Lil. It really is," he said. "I'M sorry. I should have understood." Lily's crying died down.
"Thanks James," said Lily. "You're right. It IS okay. After all I can hang around with whoever the hell I want and if Christina and Haley want to make something of it let them bring it on." She marched to the Ravenclaw common room. James stared after her. It looked like the old Lily was back but it didn't look like it was a good thing. If Haley or Christina dared say something to her about her behavior Lily would tear their heads off!
