A Love Forgotten

Lily ran frantically up the stairs, to the Gryffindor common room. She had to talk to Adrienne and Ariel. Before James got to them. It took her forever to climb p the winding stairs leading to the girl's dorms. But to her relief, there they were, sitting on Ariel's bed, doing their hair.

"Lil' what's wrong?" Ariel jumped up off the bed at the sight of Lily, out of breath and red in the cheeks.

"James knows, we know." Lily sputtered out.

"Oh, oh, oh no. He's going to tell Remus!" Adrienne jumped off and started for the door. "I have to go. I have to go before they get up here."

Too late, the door opened right as she put her hand on the doorknob.

"Adrienne, where are you going?"

"Sirius, get away from the door now. I have to go."

Sirius shook his head at her disapprovingly; "No you don't Adri. I know you well enough, it doesn't help to run away from your problems." He pushed her gently towards the bed.

"Dammit Sirius move!" Adrienne pushed her way past him so forcefully that the both of them lost their balance. Lily gasped as they both seemed to fall, but Adrienne regained her step quicker than Sirius. She dashed out the door.

"C'mon Lily. We have to go back her up. She doesn't like confrontation." Ariel ran out after her. Lily followed slightly slower; she paused to glance at the evidently passed out Sirius. When James found out about Sirius getting knocked out by Adrienne, Lily hoped he would crack up laughing. She didn't want to deal with a pissed off James.

She needn't have worried. By the time she caught up with Ariel, James was already there with Remus and Peter. Remus was on the ground trying to comfort an overly distraught Adrienne.

"She burst into tears the moment she saw us." James told Lily later that night. Everyone had already went to bed. And Sirius was spending the night in the Infirmary. "It was weird, she kept murmuring, 'Not me' 'Not me'. I think she was talking about Sirius."

"Yeah maybe. She doesn't know her strength I guess. Check."

"Argh! How did you become so good at Wizards Chess."

"I dunno. I just kept watching you and Remus play. I 'm following Remus's example."

"I can tell." James remarked sarcastically to her as she checkmate his King.

"I think for my birthday I want a owl."

"What would you name this owl of yours Adrienne?"

"Well, James, I would name him John Wayne."

"I think Adrienne has been getting into some of that stuff that crazy hippie was smoking at that club we went to last night. You know the one that thought he was a mating hippo."

"John Wayne is the name of a very famous muggle actor Sirius." Lily told him.

"Ah yes, American Muggle. Classic Adrienne."

"My grandmother sent me a picture of him." Adrienne flared at him.

"Barb! How is your crazy grandmother Adri?"

"Fine."

"So what did we miss in Divination today?"

"Our friendship is doomed."

"Really?" Peter squeaked

"No Wormtail. Who would want to doom our friendship? Least get close enough to you to do it." Sirius held his fingers to his nose and waved the air around him.

"Come off it Sirius, he doesn't smell that bad."

"Not compared to you James."

"You guys are so terrible to each other."

"Nah, they aren't. They are going to make it up to us at Valentines Day aren't you?"

James and Sirius stopped in their tracks.

"Oh no!" They whispered in unison.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten?" Ariel asked them.

"No, no. We would never forget."

Lily cocked an eyebrow at the two of them.

"Oh shiznit, we've got to go girls. C'mon Remus."

Lily watched as they ran down the hall, dragging Remus along with them.

"Told you they would make it up to us. Don't you agree Peter?"

Lily watched Peter smile weakly at Ariel before turning away and grimacing.

Oh yeah they had better make it up to us.

Fin. J
