Chapter 10

" Just catch up with me then ok Lily?" asked Katie

"yeah alright then." she replied with a smile.

It was lunch and Liz and Katie wanted to go out looking for boys, Lily however wanted to finish some homework before joining them.

Lily sat in one of the squashy armchairs biting the end of her quill.

Liz and Katie began to walk out of the common room. "ok we'll see you in a bit then." Katie gave her a wave.

"bye." Lily said forcing a smile.

Lily lay her books down on the floor and positioned herself so she had her legs over the arm and snuggled into the cushions. She was tired and needed sleep. She just closed her eyes when she heard the portrait swing open. she turned her head and saw Professor Mcgonagall enter closely followed by Potter.

"Lily." Mcgonagall said and sat opposite her. Potter stood by her side. "I have come to inform you that Peter has been suspended for three weeks. We have taken what he has done very seriously and well I just wanted to know that if you ever want someone to talk to, well I am here."

" thank you professor." mumbled Lily.

"well I have a meeting to get to so I'll leave you and Potter to it." she walked swiftly out of the common room her robes gliding out behind her.

Lily rested her head against the armchair and closed her eyes. She didn't want to face James. He had tried to talk to her after breakfast but she ignored him.

James walked up to her and touched her cheek with his hand. Lily winced when he touched her.

"what's wrong Lils?" he asked when realising her discomfort.

"What's wrong?" she said quietly. she couldn't believe him. what the hell did he think he was playing at asking her what was wrong.

"I'll tell you what's wrong!" she felt her cheeks row hot and her temper raising. James heart sank. She knew.

Lily picked up her books. " YOU BLOODY KISSED KATIE THAT'S WHAT IS BLOODY WRONG!" James took a step towards her. "Lils I'm sorry." Lily threw her books at James. The force of them made him stumble backwards. "just leave me alone." lily turned and ran up to her dormitory because she did not want James to have the satisfactory of seeing her cry.

Lily lay back on her bed. She heard footsteps and James came into the room.

"Lily..." he began.

"james.....please...just don't."

"no let me explain." he waited fro Lily to reply and when she didn't he just carried on. "when I first saw you on the train I really liked you. I thought you were really pretty but you were with Sirius and I got jealous. It hurt me that you liked him and not me."

"It hurt you? Well how the hell did you think I bloody well feel you kissed another girl. You made me feel so special so wanted and then you went and kissed another girl."

"I know I was stupid. Lily I really like you. I know I have only known you for a few days but I have never felt this way about another girl before."

" Oh stop doing your charm on me James Potter. I can see right through it."

"I'm not charming you really. I like you, but I mean we weren't even involved what does it matter if i kissed another girl?"

Lily was furious. She was now crying but she didn't care. she wanted James to see how much he had hurt her. She was shaking in anger. "what does it matter? It matters because I LOVE YOU JAMES POTTER!"
