The next morning at six AM Lily awoke and looked at her surroundings. Memories of the night before came flooding back, and she groaned as she shook James awake.
"James, we have to get up. Got to find our way back to the classes." She said shaking him even harder. James threw her an irritated look, but then he smiled.
"Good morning sun-shine." He said laughing at the look on her face, which later settled into a smile.
"Good morning, but we really do have to fine our way back." She said giving a concerned look at James. James put his arm around her to try and comfort her, and she finally relaxed and said, "Okay. We're off." And they left the mysterious room.
They walked around for about an hour until they found the Great Hall at long last. They laughed at their misfortune of the night before and entered. The realized that none of their friends were at the table and they probably were discussing were the two were. * If I know Bea she will be throwing a fit right now * Lily thought, after all she had been missing for the entire night.
* * * * * * * * * *
Bea sat in the common room waiting for her best friend to return. She was worried, beyond any worry she had ever felt. After a while of trying to convince herself that Lily would be back and in perfect health, she heard the clock strike twelve. She sighed and felt like crying. If anything happened to Lily she didn't know what she would do.
She tried to keep herself awake, but she couldn't and after a while the troubled girl fell asleep in a chair, with the fire slowly dying.
She woke the next morning even earlier than normal. She looked at her watch which read "6:15" she heaved a sigh and crept back to the dorms to see if Lily had come back while she had dozed off. She pulled back the hangings around her best friend's bed, but to her great disturbance Lily was not there.
The time had come for drastic actions. She sighed, and headed for the boys dorms. When she finally found the room containing the 5th year boys, she went and pulled back the hangings on all the beds.
"Lily is missing." She said looking at the boys' stunned faces. Remus' eyes widened and a thought that caused him great pain came to his mind.
"James is missing too." Said Remus, a grim expression on his face, recalling what someone he thought a friend had said about him.
"They went to look for you." Said Bea nodding towards Remus, and Remus' jaw dropped.
"Me? What does James care about me?" he scoffed, his eyes turning cold.
"What happened last night?" asked Sirius, frowning.
"Well… if truth be told I don't think that me and James will be remaining friends." Said Remus, looking very bitter, and not himself at all.
"What? But… what happened?" asked Sirius, as Bea and Peter sat in silence. Peter was looking very concerned, but his mind was gleeful. #Yes. I will take the place of Remus for James… I will be his closest friend# he thought delightfully.
Bea finally decided to speak up. "Well I say we wait until before class in the common room, and if they don't show up by class time we go immediately to Dumbledore." She said, very pale and worried looking.
All the boys nodded and all 5 students headed down to the common room, all minds worried sick (with the exception of Peter).
They sat in the common room, no one daring to speak a word. Everyone was exchanging anxious glances between each other and at the door. Hoping and Praying every second, that the two word return.
Finally the common room door opened and Bea stood up abruptly. To her great relief it was her best friend and her male companion. Bea ran forward and pulled Lily into a very tight hug. Lily struggled for some breath and gasped, "Bea! I can't breath!"
"Ooooh where were you, I was worried sick! Where have you been?" she asked, looking absolutely terrified.
"We were looking for Remus and- Remus? Where is he? What happened? Is he okay?" she asked pulling out of Bea's hug, and looking around hysterically.
"I'm right here, and I'm fine." He said going over and trying to calm her.
"Where were you two?" said Bea and Remus at the same time, both of them realizing that James was also there.
"Well we were looking for you," she said nodding towards Remus, " and then we got lost. We found a nice room with a bed and it was really incredibly late so we decided that we should get some rest, and continue to find our way back in the morning." She said very quickly, still looking very panicked. Bea pulled her into another hug, and sighed in relief.
"Well I'm so glad you're alright." She said in a muffled voice, as they were so close.
"I'm sorry…" Lily said quietly, feeling bad for what she had put her friend through. Bea shook her head and the two stood in their hug for a long time. They finally let go and they decided to go and get their stuff for class.
When the girls had disappeared Remus gave a cold glance at James. "So. Spent the night with her did you?" Remus asked, walking over towards his ex- friend.
"Ya, I did, what's it to you?" Said James coolly. Sirius looked very anxious, as he looked from one boy to another.
"Hey, let's just drop it, okay?" said Sirius, wanting to two to become friends again.
"No." said Remus defiantly.
"You're right." Said James, remembering the incidents in the library after Remus had left. "Some one heard. Some one heard our fight." He said seriously, and Remus looked absolutely stunned.
"Who?" he asked sharply.
"Severus Snape. He was in there spying on Lily. You know how he feels about her… but anyhow, he heard." He said shrugging, not knowing what else to say.
"Does Lily know?" he asked in the same sharp, interrogative tone.
"Yes. Snape told her." James said not able to look Remus in the eyes and staring at the floor. When the girls returned with their books, James was forced to look up.
"Hi guys." Said Lily, quietly smiling.
"Hi." Said all four boys at once, which made all of them softly laugh.
"Well I guess we should go eat breakfast." Suggested Bea, and Lily agreed with a single nod. They walked in silence until they got the Great Hall. Lily was about walk in but Remus stopped her first.
"Lils can I talk to you in private for a sec?" he asked nervously. Lily nodded, and beamed at him.
"You guys go, we'll only be a minute." She said, and the others all went into the great hall unenthusiastically.
"What's up?" asked Lily curiously frowning.
"So… I guess you know now, eh?" he said staring at the floor.
"Know what?" she asked, lifting his chin up so he would have to look her in the eyes.
"About me… being… you know…" he said, praying he wouldn't have to say it. Lily seemed to get the message and nodded.
"Ya, I do. But why didn't you tell me? I mean, I really don't care, I still love you." She said sincerely, and a pang of guilt hit Remus.
"Well… I wasn't supposed to let anyone know." He said. "I'm sorry." He added, but Lily shook her head.
"Don't be… it's a tough thing to go out and say. I understand." She said and they stood and smiling at each other until Lily said, "Well let's go in for some food then." And Remus nodded in agreement.
* * * * * * * * * *
That night Remus and Lily and James continued the library session that they had planned before. It was very quiet, and the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. Remus and James still hadn't made up, and they were both trying to get Lily's attention. They would both joke with her, and Lily tried not to edge them on. She tried to keep everything strictly to studying, but neither of the boys wanted to study. To be honest Lily wasn't in the mood either, but she also didn't feel like figuring out her boy problems.
After the uptight study session, the three headed for the common room. Bea greeted them with her usual mischievous grin, and said, "Lils, can you help me with something?"
Lily nodded and the two went upstairs.
"So what's up?" asked Lily, sitting on her bed. Bea sat on her own bed and sighed.
"How was it? Working with them as mortal enemies?" she asked, feeling sorry for her stressed friend. Lily moaned.
"Horrible. It's like they're competing for me, and they are playing dirty too. I can't stand it!" said Lily, and to Bea's horror she dissolved into tears. Bea looked shocked, but as an instant reaction she pulled her best friend into a hug and patted her back.
"It's okay Lils… it's going to be alright…" she said in a calming voice. Lily sobbed for about 10 minutes, and once she stopped she washed up and gave a great sigh. "You okay, hon?" she asked, putting an arm around Lily's shoulders. Lily nodded and gave her friend a thankful smile.
"Thanks Bea…" she said smiling and then said, "You know if there is ever anything I can do, you got it, right?" Bea nodded and they headed downstairs.
The boys, who had been sitting in complete silence, glanced up and they all greeted the girls (well at least Lily, which made Bea frown).
