"Hey Sirius. Who are you waiting for?" Lily came down the next morning to find Sirius sitting in a chair looking worried.
"You actually Lils. Umm..... come on, let's head down to breakfast." Sirius stood up and Lily followed him out of the common room.
"What's up my man?" Lily was in a very good mood.
"Last night. It wasn't Peeves." Sirius said in a rush.
Lily stopped walking, "What was it then, better yet, WHO was it?" She asked in a low voice, "You caught them, right? They're not going to say anything? Sirius?" Lily started to get frantic, "James can't know!"
"Then you won't want to hear who it was."
"No." She whispered, "It was James. How? Shit Sirius!"
Sirius shrugged, "I dunno." Lily was too preoccupied to push the how question, she was busy wringing her hands.
"What did he say? No, I don't want to know. Things are going to be so weird now."
"Let's just go down to breakfast." Sirius tried to reason with her.
"Okay, he's not down there is he?"
"I don't know."
Lily snorted, "Yah, you two only spend every waking minute together. And sleep together." Lily started laughing hysterically.
"Lils, are you feeling alright?" Sirius eyed her in concern.
"Nope!" She chirped, "Let's go!" Lily slung her arm through his and dragged him skipping to the Great Hall.
"You've gone mental. Off to St. Mungo's for you."
Sirius and Lily came skipping into the Hall much to the amusement of the Head Table, namely Dumbledore and Hagrid.
"Hagrid you're back!" Lily shouted over the students who suddenly went quiet, "Whoops!"
"Come on Lily, let's go sit down." This time it was Sirius who had to drag Lily.
"I just keep making a fool of myself don't I Sirius?" The two sat down with the remaining members of Seventh Year at their house table.
"We were wondering where you two got to. We just got told History of Magic is cancelled for this morning. Something to do with ghosts and paintings being summoned last night. Weird." Jessabelle told them. James looked at Lily who wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Thankyou Merlin!" Sirius shouted up towards the roof.
"Thought you'd be happy Sirius." Remus grinned, "This means we have some extra time to work on our end of year prank. This one needs to be big too."
"We only have two months to prepare! Well it obviously has to be at the Graduation Ball." Sirius replied, the wheels already turning in his head.
"Leave the poor Slytherins alone you four. They don't want their Grad Ball ruined, and neither do we." Arabella tried to reason with them.
"Who said it's just going to be the Slytherins?" James said, getting a mad glint in his eyes. "I say we get the teachers as well."
"Good one Prongs." Peter said half-heartedly.
"To the common room and beyond!" Sirius cried standing up.
"Honestly, Sirius, are you sure you don't need medication?" Jessabelle asked him, standing up as well. "If we help, will you make sure the prank doesn't affect us?"
"Who said we'd let you help?" Remus replied.
"Oooo, you asked for it Remus!" Arabella warned him. Jessabelle began to pout and her eyes began to water.
"ALRIGHT!!!! Alright you can help!" Remus covered his eyes trying not to look at Jessabelle.
"Absolutely no will-power Moony. Shameful." Sirius slapped Remus on the back as he walked past him. The rest of the group followed him.
"Prongs," Sirius muttered to James as they neared the common room, "You need to talk to Lily. I say get it over and done with now."
James sighed, "Alright." He fell back to where Lily was walking with Arabella. "Lils, a word?" He cringed as he realised he sounded like Snape did not twelve hours ago.
"I'll see you in a minute, Bella." Lily told Arabella.
"'Kay. Have fun you two." She winked as she caught up to Remus and Jessabelle.
"Let's go in here." James pointed to a room a few steps in front of them. The both entered the empty room and stood awkwardly. James cleared his throat, "Uhh....."
"I know you heard last night, James. I suppose that's what you want to talk about?" Lily's voice wavered much to her horror. She didn't want to sound like she was close to tears.
"Um, yeh. I don't want to hurt your feelings Lils. In fact, you're the last person I want to hurt. But I..." He paused, looking down at the floor.
"What James?" Lily said doubtfully.
"I don't feel the same way about you. I'm sorry." James looked up at her.
"It's okay." She tried to smile, "Totally understandable."
James looked more than relieved to hear her say that, "Uh, we still have to tell Bella and Sirius what happened last night. I mean, what happened with Snape."
"Okay, we'll tell them as soon as we go back to the common room. But remember not to mention Snape. We'll say we overheard someone speaking but we didn't catch who it was." Lily started to walk past James and out of the room.
"Lily," James grabbed her arm, "Are you sure you're okay with this."
"Mm hmm.." She nodded not looking at him. James let her go knowing that she was lying now. "We better go. Don't want the others thinking anything." She said walking out of the room.
"Shit. I hurt her." James muttered to himself as he followed her to the common room. When Lily and James entered the common room, Sirius bounded over to them.
"I'll go get Bella." Lily said quietly, walking over to her. James followed her with his eyes, looking really guilty.
"What did you say?" Sirius growled at him. James rubbed the back of his neck absently, and then looked at Sirius. "Stuff it, I don't want to know. You make me so angry sometimes I want to hit you. You're the biggest prat in the world." Sirius finished as Arabella came over.
"We'll go to our dorm, I don't think I want to visit your dorm again." Lily said looking at Sirius.
"What's this all about?" Sirius asked as they walked to the girls' dorm. "And why are we leaving Moony, Wormtail and Jess in the common room?"
"We figured you wanted to hear this kinda in private." James answered.
"I don't like where this is going." Arabella walked through the door leading to her dorm. Lily shut it after they were all in the room.
"You might want to sit down." And Lily proceeded to tell them what had actually happened on Valentine's Day with James adding parts of it in. "So, yeah. It was just a plan to break us all up." She finished. Arabella and Sirius just sat there with their mouths open staring at Lily and James.
Sirius was the first to get his voice back, "They set us up? Wait, who's they?"
"We don't know. Before we could find out they managed to get away." James replied waiting for a reaction. They both bought it.
"That's horrible! I mean to put all of us through that!" Arabella said in outrage.
Lily was smiling at her, "You were miserable."
"As was Padfoot." James added. Both Sirius and Arabella turned bright red.
"Oh, screw you guys!" Arabella said to Lily and James as she launched herself on Sirius.
"I think that's our cue to leave." James said to Lily as Arabella and Sirius got into a heated snogging scene. "That should be censored or something." Lily didn't answer him as she walked out of them room. James followed her sighing.
"Well, it looks like Hogwart's Perfect Couple are back together!" Lily announced as she walked back into the common room with James following her.
"What? How come?" Jessabelle and Remus asked. Peter just sat there looking terrified. James explained what they had 'overheard' last night.
"That's great! No more miserable people!" Remus exclaimed.
"Hmm....Lils do you feel like going for a walk?" Jessabelle asked her, noticing she wasn't looking as happy as she should have. Lily nodded and the two walked out of the common room.
"What did you do Prongs?" Remus was glaring at James when the two had left.
"Nothing." James replied.
"Then why are you still staring at the portrait? And why was Lily looking so upset?"
"She looked upset?" James asked.
"Lily looked like she'd just been told Christmas was cancelled. At the age of 5."
"Shit. This is going to be a long two months."
"What did you do James?" Remus lowered his voice.
"I told her I didn't feel the same way about her as she felt for me." James said looking bleakly at Remus.
"And is that the way you actually feel?"
James furrowed his eyebrows, "Yes, what kind of question is that?" James sighed, "The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her."
"Perhaps that's why you told her what you did." Remus suggested.
"What are you on about, Moony? Ugh, enough of this, I think I might go flying."
"You can't Prongs." Peter piped up. "We have Charms."
"I thought we had double History?"
"Nope!" Peter said cheerfully, missing the glare James sent him.
"Thanks Wormtail."
"No problem!"
