A/N: This is chapter #8… Thanx for all the reviews! Please RR!!!
It took Eden and I hours to get Gwen to stop crying. In other words, I hardly got any sleep. I slowly rolled out of bed the next morning, still half-asleep and yawning. I dragged my way down to the common room to find none other than James, annoyed with me for being so late. He was pretending not to be annoyed, but I know he was.
"Well, well look who finally dragged herself out of bed," James stated as we made our way towards the Great Hall. I glared at him.
"I'll try to do better next time, mummy," I shot back, sarcastically.
"To bad you didn't take the time to find the right side of the bed to roll out of," James responded.
"Yeah, sucks for you," I answered. As we sat down, I heard Sirius trying to cheer up Gwen.
"Want me to perform 'Crucio' on him?" Sirius questioned Gwen, regarding Daniel.
"No, Sirius, that would put you in jail," Gwen responded, sighing.
"Or would it?" Sirius questioned.
"Mate, I think it would," James said jumping into the conversation.
"To bad you wizards don't know what coffee is," I said looking around the table, annoyed.
"Coffee? You wizards?" James questioned, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Hey, Lils, James, when's our first Hogsmeade?" Remus asked, breaking into our conversation.
"This weekend," James and I answered at the same time.
"Hey guys, wanna be on our Halloween feast committee?" James asked Sirius, Remus, Peter, Gwen, and Eden. They all agreed.
"Do you expect us to do any work?" I asked, turning to James.
"Seriously, left side, Lily, left side of the bed," James answered.
The rest of the day went by well. That is, until it was time for James and I to teach our transfiguration class.
"Hey everyone, put away your wands. Today we're having a pop quiz," I said, as soon as the class walked in causing groans to erupt from our class.
"Lily, do you really think it's a good idea to take out your bad mood on them?" James questioned me.
"Who says it's 'cause I'm in a bad mood?" I questioned.
"Well, we didn't discuss this," James answered back, cautiously.
"Well, I think it's time for them to show if they actually listen in class," I said shouting at James.
"Hey, Lils, no reason to get all huffy," James said, too calmly.
"I'm not huffy!" I screamed. I was yet to notice the entire class watching me. I then looked up, my face slowly turning red.
"You seem like it to me," James said, in his calm way.
"Whatever, leave me alone," I screamed at him.
"You know, you've been moody to me all day. Sorry you had a bad night, but you shouldn't take it out on me," He said so calmly, I wanted to slap him.
"Well, if you think you can teach alone, then why don't you just do that," I screamed, storming out the room.
After that, I just kind of walked around school, aimlessly, for a while. Eventually, I ended up back in the common room. Then, though I'm not quite sure how, I ended up in my dorm room. I was watching the Gryffindor quidditch team practice. Then, seeing James out the window, I just started to cry. I am not sure how long I cried for, just that when Eden came to get me for supper, I was fast asleep.
"Lily, what's wrong you look horrible!" Eden exclaimed when I woke up.
"Nothing, just, nothing," I responded. How do you explain that you feel like an idiot for blowing up at you boyfriend just because you were in a bad mood?
"Ok, well, it's time to eat supper," Eden said, turning to walk out.
"I'll be there in a minute," I said to her back as she walked away. I knew I could not go though. I could not bare to face James or our class, who would surely be eating. I knew I was done crying though.
Since I could hold all my emotions in, I walked downstairs and started on my homework in front of the fire. It was completely empty, with everyone at supper. I was about halfway done, when people started to come back in.
"I thought you might want your quizzes to grade," James said, chucking a stack of parchment at me.
"James, no, wait, I need to talk to you," I said, trying not to cry.
"Oh, so now you want to talk?" James asked, coldly.
"James, please don't be this way," I pleaded with him.
"Whatever," He said, leaving the room.
After he left, I cried another couple of hours. What had happened? It had seemed like just a little fight. I felt like such an idiot.
"You ok Lils?" Remus asked, he and Sirius sitting down next to me.
"Not really," I said between sobs.
"What happened?" Remus asked, handing me a tissue.
"Nothing, I'm just such an idiot," I said.
"Honestly, the other day, when I said I was the smartest pumpkin in the patch," Sirius began, "I was lying, you are." He finished, causing me to laugh.
"Gee, thanks," I thanked him.
"Don't tell anyone though, I don't want to ruin my rep," Sirius said.
"Yeah, you're well known for being brilliant," Remus said, sarcastically.
"Aren't I though?" Sirius said, smugly.
"Ok, then. So, Lily, you gonna be ok?" Remus asked me, ignoring Sirius.
"Yeah, but I think James is mad at me," I said, sadly.
"He's just moody," Sirius said. Just then, a few first years looked over at me, wonderingly.
"Hey! Haven't you ever seen someone crying before? Get out!" Sirius screamed at them.
"Thanks, they might be a little mad at me as well," I stated.
"Oh don't worry," Sirius started, "By the time I'm done with them, they'll be begging for Professor Lily," Sirius said walking of towards the group.
"He helps in his own screwed up way, doesn't he?" I asked Remus.
"Yeah, he's an interesting character, loyal as a dog," Remus said with a laugh. "Are you ok though?" He asked me, concerned.
"Yeah, if James forgives me," I said.
"Don't worry he will, he loves you," Remus said. "Just look and him and I'm sure he'll melt."
"I hope so," I said, worried.
"Just tell him what's wrong, and he'll understand. He can be quite understanding, albeit stubborn. Not to mention, loyal as a horse," Remus said, giving me a hug and walking off.
I sat there for a while, pretending to read my homework. Eventually, I heard Sirius saying something in hushed tones, causing all the first years to run off, screaming. He turned around and winked at me, causing me to laugh. A little while later, James walked up to me.
"Hey, I noticed you didn't eat," James said, startling me, "I nicked some food from the house elves for you." James said, handing me some cookies.
"Always being protective of me, huh?" I questioned.
"Yeah, well, I should be," James said.
"Chocolate chip and peanut butter! My favorite!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know," James said causing me to cry.
"What's wrong?" He questioned, bending down and hugging me.
"You're just so great and perfect and I'm so-so such an idiot," I sobbed.
"Hey, the cookies were supposed to cheer you up," He said, hugging me tightly.
"They did."
"It doesn't look like it," He said, smiling.
"I'm so sorry, I was being so mean and you-you didn't do anything. You were just being your perfect-boyfriend self," I sobbed.
"I'm not a perfect boyfriend," He said, tightening his grip on me.
"Yes you are and I don't know what I did to deserve you."
"Yeah, I am kind of perfect," He joked.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"Don't worry about it," He answered, in that calm way.
"Do you still love me?"
"Unconditionally," He answered. We sat there for a long time, hugging each other, before anyone spoke.
"So, are you going to be ok teaching without me?" I asked breaking the silence.
"Why would I be teaching without you?"
"Because all our students hate me now," I said, sadly.
"Well, according to Sirius, they hate him much, much more," James argued. "And besides, none of the girls would learn anything from me," James joked, causing me to laugh.
We just lied there for a while and eventually fell asleep, still holding on to each other.
~~Well, there it is, hope you like it. Sorry if it's kinda corny… Now please RR, give me some feedback, good or bad…~~
