(A/N: okay well thanks to everyone who reviewed, here's the third part! Enjoy)

Disclaimer: Okay so I don't own Lily and James Potter, or the Blacks and I don't own most of their friends or the world they live in. But I do own, the plot and anything else you don't recognize from the first four books!

Taming the Lily

Now Lily and Arabella were friends again, and they did everything like before their fight. There was still something in the way they spoke, and acted in the other's presence, kind of formal and reserved. People who didn't know the pair very well would have said they were the closest of friends, and wouldn't have noticed the change. There were, however the few that knew them well enough that noticed a change in their behavior, and didn't like it.

"Please pass the pepper Lily," Arabella said to Lily one day while she was eating lunch with her, James and their friends Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They were all a little disappointed that Sirius couldn't make it, but it was his shift to watch the office in the Department of Magical Abuse. Everyone present knew that if everything was okay between the women Arabella would have asked her to "Pass the black pepper pronto".

The men were further surprised to see Lily calmly hand it to her, smile and say, "There, 'Bella, I hope you don't pour to much on your food and spoil it." Which is exactly what she would have said, were she not angry with her friend, but the way she said it told them that she hoped Arabella would ruin her food.

"I thought you said they made up?" Peter whispered to James.

"I thought they did myself, I saw them with my own eyes, whaling that they were sorry into the other's shoulder!" James whispered back thoroughly confused.

"Look, whatever the two of you said to each other you have to get over it," Remus said, looking towards the other two men who nodded.

"Yeah Lil', 'Bella, you're adults now, we left Hogwarts four years ago, you need to get past arguments, you aren't girls anymore you know." James added while Peter just nodded his head at every few words.

"Well, you don't know what she said to me," Arabella said and Lily scoffed offended.

"Well all I did was tell the truth, but she said nothing I will never be able to truly forgive her for," Lily said a summarily.

"Oh, and it wasn't the truth? We both know it was." The men present raised their eyebrows, as they realized this was no ordinary fight. The girls had actually hurt one another with statements that were most likely true.

"Okay, that's it, Lily you come into your bedroom with me, Arabella you go with James. Peter you..." Remus hesitated, since Peter was no good listener and pretty useless if not a hindrance in these matters. "Peter you stand guard in here." The girls grumbled and did as asked.

In Lily's bedroom Remus sat her on her bed, and pulled up a chair from the desk. Lily sat with the posture of a teenage girl who looked very put out about something.

"Okay tell me how this whole thing started. From the beginning of the incident," Remus nodded for her to begin.

"Well...She started it!"

A/N: Okay well I am definitely going to continue this story, and the only reason why I set the 12 reviews limit because I'm writing three other stories, and this was the only one I wasn't sure about. So as I've only posted two parts and have 13 reviews, this story will be continued...I'm really starting to like it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Oh, and the reason the parts are short, is because I like to get them up very often, so I write a little at a time, edit it and upload it. I like to do it better that way for some reason. So parts will be small, but there will be a lot of them!
