Chapter 3
As James stormed back to the desk in the library, Remus looked up.
'So what have you two been arguing about this time?' he asked.
'Nothing!' Was James' reply.
'Let me guess... Lily?'
'Shut up. You don't know what you are talking about.'
'Um excuse me, but in case you have forgotten, you two are my best friends, and I would say at a guess that you and Lily have had an argument, and Sirius is taking Lily's side.'
'Me and LILY' he said spitting out her name, 'have split up.'
'Oh James, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...'
'No. I dumped her. She claimed that she loved me, and I dumped her.' James put his head down on his arms. 'Remus, why did I do it too her? What has she ever done to me?'
'Why?'
'I couldn't let her do that. Not with all that is going to happen, you know...'
Remus draped a consolidatory arm over his shoulder. 'It'll be alright, you'll sort it out.'
*****************************************
The next morning James went down to breakfast after sleeping badly. The night before Sirius had hardly spoken a word to him, and the same that morning. At one stage he had looked at him as if he didn't know him.
Lily was already there, sitting at the far end of the table. Her face was white and her eyes were red. People looked up as James came in and started whispering.
Sirius went to sit by Lily, but James sat as far away on the Gryffindor table as was possible, with Remus besides him. Peter, not entirely sure what was going on, decided to sit by Sirius, as he felt he was saver here, as Sirius was the only one looking like he might murder someone.
As they all ate Lily and James sent occasional glances towards the other. Finally they caught each others eye, and stared for a few moments before James closed his eyes, and Lily jumped up and ran from the room sobbing.
'Look what you have done to her!' yelled Sirius.
'Sirius, leave it. Let's discuss it later.' Said Remus.
'No! Look at her, she is devastated.'
'It is not my fault.' yelled James.
Yes it is. Who else went out with her for that long then dumped her?'
'I could not help it!'
'Gentlemen,' came the quiet voice of Professor Dumbledore, 'I think we should carry this on in my office maybe.'
'Yes Professor.'
They both muttered, and followed him out of the Great hall. Upon which everyone else started whispering to each other, until Remus yelled,
'Oh SHUT UP! All you ever do is gossip!' And he stormed out.
*********************************
'Right Gentlemen, would you care to tell me what is going on?' asked Dumbledore.
'No.' Replied Sirius.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.
'Sorry Professor, but this is a private argument between myself and James.'
'Unfortunately, when you started shouting at breakfast, it changed, and now it is my business.'
'Sorry Professor.' Muttered Sirius.
'James, would you care to explain?'
'Lily and I have had an argument, and Sirius has taken Lily's side in it.'
'An argument? You dumped her!'
'Mr Black, please allow James to speak.'
Sirius glared at James.
'What was this argument about?' asked Dumbledore.
'She.she told me that she love me.and I dumped her.'
Sirius started to speak again, but Dumbledore held up a hand.
'Thank you Mr Potter, you may go. And please, no more arguing in the future, or at least, not so publicly.'
James walked out of the room, and Sirius glared at his retreating back.
***************************
Half an hour later, Sirius re-entered the Gryffindor common room, and looked around for Lily.
'She's in her room.' Said James bitterly.
Sirius just nodded and walked up the stairs. He knocked on the door to the seventh year dormitory.
'Lily, can I come in?'
The door was opened by Jesse, Lily's best friend.
'You try talking to her, she is just ignoring me. I must go and slap and James Potter for doing this to her.'
'I'd just leave it Jess.'
'You've changed your tune. What did Dumbledore say then?'
'I'll tell you later ok?'
'Yeah.' Said Jess, not really bothered.
AN.
OK, so what did people think of that? Was that better than the previous chapters, and the original of this chapter. I hope so.
