Chapter 9-Nothing but the Truth with a Few Lies

Later that night, Lily was sitting in the common room with her seven friends. Well, and Tracy, if you count her as a friend. Tracy walked up to the common room after awhile and Lily decided that now was the time to talk to her. She couldn't just get up and go though, so she tried her hardest to think of something.

"Hey! Jen, do want to finish that Chess tournament?"

"Um...sure, what about you Remus?"

"Yep! Your going to lose"

"Nope! Lily??"

"I'm going, I'm going"

Lily smiled to herself. She turned and started to walk up the stairs to the dormitory. Once in there, she saw Tracy, looking through her trunk. Lily walked in the room and Tracy didn't notice, so there was silence. Lily was the one to break it.

"What was with holding James hand today?"

Tracy jumped at hearing someone else.

"Well duh! Don't people normally hold their boyfriends or girlfriends hand?"

"Yeah, sure! But I thought you said James..." she was quickly interrupted by Tracy.

"You thought what? That he did something mean to me?"

"That's what you said, I'm not saying I believed you"

"Yeah, I noticed you didn't believe me when you wouldn't stop hanging around him"

"Well you weren't telling the truth were you?"

"No, I guess you could say that"

"Then why'd you say it?"

"Because, everyone could see that James liked you as more than a friend"

"He did not! We're friends, nothing more!"

"He liked you though, and I thought that if I.." but this time it was Tracy that was interrupted.

"You thought that if didn't hang around him anymore, then he wouldn't like me and then you'd have a better chance with him?"

"How'd you know that"

"I'm the smartest person in the world, what don't I know?" said Lily sarcastically

"Oh you wish, but even if the plan didn't work.... I still got James and now you'll never have him. Tracy headed towards the door and right before she left Lily said something.

"Hey Tracy!" Tracy turned around "You've lied and crossed the wrong person, this is "just a friendly warning" THIS MEANS WAR" They glared at each other for a few seconds before Tracy ran down into the common room. At the same time, Jen, Cassidy, and Amanda all walked in.

"Um....what did she tell you?"

"What? You mean you heard that?"

"Yeah, we came up to check on you 'cuz you'd been acting weird today and we heard everything."

"Oh, she just told that James had done something bad to her and hurt her and that I shouldn't get to close to him, but I didn't listen to her"

"Oh" The girls were quite for awhile before grabbing Jen's chess game and going downstairs.

"Come on Lil, don't worry, James does like you know"

"What gave you that idea"

"Oh just trust me" said Cassidy "he'll be crawling back to you. Lily rolled her eyes

Jen laughed, and then said "Let's go".

The four girls headed downstairs to see four boys sitting there, one of them looked very angry. James stood up and walked over to Lily.

"How could you say that to her"

"Say what?"

"You know what you said to Tracy"

"NO, I don't know what I said to Tracy, I know what she said to me, but not what I said to her, so if it wouldn't be terribly hard could you please fill me in in what I said to her?"

"She asked you if she could hang around you and those three" he said pointing to Jen, Cassidy, and Amanda. "And YOU told her no, that she wasn't good enough to be hanging around you and crowding you."

"Whatever! I swear to God I never said that! You can even ask them"

"I don't believe you, she's my girlfriend! Why would she lie to me?"

"I don't know but she did, and I'm your friend, why would I lie to you?"

"You WERE my friend"

"Your telling me your believing her over me without even asking me what happened?"

"James!" started Amanda "How could you believe her over Lily! We were there! Lily never said that and Tracy never intended on being her friend."

"Your just as bad as Lily Amanda"

This got Jen mad. "Don't call them "bad" when you won't even listen to what really happened!"

"I already know what really happened!"

Cassidy then got mad, and she wasn't one to get mad very easily.

"If your soooo sure that you know the real story, then beings you know how to make a truth potion why don't you do it? and give it Lily? Find out the real story?"

"NO!"

"Why?"

"Be-be-b- um- I already know the real story that's why"

"NO YOU DON'T! AND YOUR JUST TO AFRAID TO ACTUALLY FIND IT OUT!" screamed Cassidy and the four girls walked away. Sirius ran after them though, with Remus and Peter following. They wanted the real story, Tracy hadn't been on their "good" sides all day. They followed the girls up to the dormitories.

"What's the real story?"

The girls jumped.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because, I don't buy Tracy's act of innocence."

"Oh, well...." and the girls began the whole story. The three boys believed them too.

"Well, why don't we just make James listen, we'll make the truth potion, and make him listen"

"No!" said Lily "If he wants to believe Tracy over me, then that's his problem, not mine and I don't intend to do anything about it, now if you'll excuse me, I believe I'm in a war and should um....plan some pranks. How about some help?"
