Help from the stars, part 3

Silence in the great hall

Three weeks had already passed since Lily had received the letter from the ministry with the horrible message of her parents' death. She was feeling dead inside and lonely and if it weren't for her five best friends (a/n: you wouldn't like me to count the little rat to her best friends, would you???), she was sure she wouldn't have been able to live through a day, knowing that her beloved parents weren't alive anymore! She knew she would have to go and see Andrew Fillers soon, patience was not one of his best talensts, you know,but she just couldn't cope with that right now.

Right now they were all sitting in the cosy Gryffindor Common room and playing a game of exploding snap. Lily enjoyed just chilling with the people she loved most. "Wanna try to beat me in a game of chess, Lils?" Sirius asked, batting eyelashes. "You know that you never won against anybody in this room for more than six years now, why don't you already give up, Black??" Lily asked back. "Well, there's this new strategy I've been working on lately, and I'm sure I'm going to beat you this time!" "Whatever Sirius." After Lily had won two games, Sirius gave up and went over to Katie, telling her how evil Lily Evans is and that she cheated, of course, and that he had let her win, because otherwise she wouldn't stand a chance against him. Lily winked at Kat and the taller, black haired girl just said: "Sure Sirius." and kissed him lightly on the lips. It was getting late and the little group went upstairs into their dorms.

Lily was the first of the girls to get up, the next morning, she showered and dressed and then waited for the other two to get ready. Melinda, whose dark blond hair just reached her chin,never needed that much time in the morning. Katherine, who was the tallest of the three girls, had black shoulder lengthen hair that usually stood into every direction in the mornings. And she absolutely wasn't a morning person! The other girls had learned on their first morning at Hogwarts not to mess with Katherine Sallers too early. Most of the times it was ok to speak with her without danger at the time of ten! But Lily, Melinda and Kat knew each other already since more than six years and were more like sisters than friends. They told each other all their secrets and made everything together.

When even Katie was ready to be seen in public, they headed for the common room. The Marauders, excluding Peter, were already waiting at the bottom of the stairs. Melinda and Katherine greeted their boyfriends with a good- morning kiss, while Lily and James stood uncomfortably beside them. When they arrived in the great hall, Lily immediately spotted Andrew Fillers getting up from his table and coming over to them. "Good morning Lillian, how are you this wonderful morning?" Andrew asked her with his slimy voice. "I'm fine, thank you Andrew.",Lily answered and noticing the death glares James was sending Fillers she added: "How about we go outside and talk some more?" He nodded and held his hand out to her, she took it and they walked out of the doors. James blood was boiling and his heart screamed in pain as he watched helplessly as his worst enemy, after Snape, dragged his girl out of the room. Mel lightly laid a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it, James gave her a grateful glance for her support, while Sirius told him: "Repeat after me Jamsie: Lily doesn't love Fillers, Lily doesn't love Fillers, Lily doesn't lo...", he stopped there because Katherine, who sat opposite of him, had tread him into his shine and whispered: "Shut up Sirius Black, or do I have to make you?" Sirius gulped, he just couldn't help it, he wasn't as sensitive as Remus or as kind as Mel, but he certainly didn't want to get cross with Kat. He loved his girlfriend, really, though some people said that James and he were big players before Lily and Katherine. But sometimes, just sometimes, Kat could be really scary! Not that he'd ever admit to anybody!

Outside of the hall:

"So are you better again Lily? I mean the thing with your parents and everything. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, like I should have been, but you know, as for me being Slytherin and you being Gryffindor. And you didn't really come out of the Gryffindor tower that much, and well, I couldn't really just walk in there, you understand, don't you?" He was trying to talk him free of his guilt, Lily noticed. And she knew for sure that Dumbledore would have given him the permission to visit her, if he would have just asked. Stupid, slimy little rat. I was fine as long I didn't have to see your ugly face, Fillers! Ughrrr am I angry! Well I can't really tell him that James was so sweet the whole time, that he made fall in love with him all over again, right?! I don't think he'd like that. "I know Fil.. Andrew, I mean. I understand totally. And, you know, my friends helped me a great deal! I don't know what I would have done without them!" "Ahm, yes of course. I'm sure they were a great help. Umh, who do you mean with "my friends" exactly, Lillian?" "Oh well, Mel and Kat, Sirius, Remus and James of course. You have to understand Andrew, though we aren't a couple anymore, we're still friends. You can't stop me from talking to him or anything. I choose who I want to be friends with, not you!" Argh, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! This is getting annoying, and I'm getting hungry! "Yes of course, you can be friends with him, Lillian. But the keywords are just friends! Do you still love him, Lily darling?" Well, I'll always love him, Andy darling! I am hungry!! " No, Andrew, not like that, not anymore. I don't know, now when I think about it, I'm not sure if I ever loved him." " These are good news, Lillian, very good ones! I told you, you'll forget him soon!" " Yes, you were probably right, Andrew." And the Oscar goes to........... Lily Evans, for her absolutely wonderful role of Lillian, in the film: "Slimy Slytherin wants romance too". Please, can't he already stop talking??? Oh yes, I'm going to pray every night, I promise, but please don't let him kiss me! " We should go back now, don't you think?" I'm getting desperate here! "Yes, come on, I'll walk you to your table." Am I invalid now, or what? He took her hand and they walked back into the great hall, and when they arrived at Lily's place, he started leaning in, to kiss her on the lips. In the last second she turned her head and his lips just touched her cheeks. "Bye, Lillian, see you at Potions." "Yeah, bye", Lily flopped down into her seat, leaned her head onto the table and closed her eyes, exhaling deeply. When she looked up again, her friends were all looking at her. "Umh, I don't really want to be the one saying it, but........, he coughed,...... umh,..... the whole hall is staring at you Lily." Remus told her quietly. Lily suddenly noticed that the whole population of Hogwarts really was staring at her and that it was totally silent. You really would have heard the famous needle fall right now! She slowly turned her head in every direction and just said, loud enough for everybody to hear: "EAT!" And in the next second everybody was talking loudly to his neighbours and you could hear the jingling of the hundreds of forks and knifes again. Lily sighed heavily and turned back to her friends. "So what happened, Lils?" Sirius asked, mouthful with some mashed potatoes.

She grimaced at this sight and answered: "It was horrible!" "Well, so I thought. But, umh, how horrible was it?" Sirius asked again, the potatoes finally swallowing. "Really horrible! First he wanted to make excuses why he couldn't be there for me when, umh, when ...... my parents died and I just thanked God, or the sorting hat, that he had put me in Gryffindor and him into Slytherin! And then I had to tell him a hundred times, that James and I were still "just friends", and....... mmh...... that ummmmh, that I'm not sure if I ever really loved him in the first place, he believed me, and I think I deserve the next Oscar, for playing the role of the ditz of the year. And I'd like to talk to James, because I don't think you got some things right here", at this she looked him straight into the eyes and though he turned away his head quickly, she still saw the pained look in those beautiful brown and soulful eyes, that she loved so much, and it shattered her heart in a million peaces. And she was sure that her words had done the same to him. Defeated she looked away and stated: "As this was a horrible way to start the morning, and all this on an empty stomach, I'd like to have my breakfast now!" With that the others started to eat again. Lily realized that she wasn't that hungry anymore, and just took a few tiny bites of her toast. When she looked up she saw James hadn't really touched his food either.
