Chapter 2: Lily's Secret
Lily and Rose (along with James, Sirius, and Remus), were both seventh year Gryffindors. Rose had been dating Remus Lupin for around two months, and was starting to actually really like him. Really really like him..at least, that was Lily's take on it. Although she didn't dare mention it to her best friend, she thought they the couple was falling in love.
As for Lily, well.no one in Hogwarts really thought they understood Lily Evans that well. She was gorgeous, with dark auburn hair and green eyes and a trim figure endowed in the right places, and smart (she was well on the way to becoming an Auror if things went according to her plans), and nice.
But she had never really seemed that interested in boys. Sure, she had dated Amos Diggory for a month back in fifth year, and a boy from Ravenclaw for a little longer in sixth year, but things never lasted, and she seemed disinterested on the whole.
Lily walked briskly through the corridors, keeping her eyes open for James and Sirius. She had a hunch that she knew what Remus' secret was about, if not actually knowing the secret itself. No.it couldn't be about Rose, because unless Remus was a really good actor, he was definitely in love with her friend.
Her best guess was with the monthly outings she saw three of the boys (James, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew) going on through her window at night. It was unusual for the foursome to leave someone out, and lily figured there must be some reason.
There. Lily caught a glance of messy black hair at random angles, and she knew that if James was there, Sirius was probably there as well. She had a score to settle with these two.
"James, Sirius, how nice to see you," she drawled sarcastically. "I have something to ask you two about, and you better tell the truth, cause otherwise I'll have to hex you all way to the lake."
"Pleasant, as always, aren't we, Lils?" Sirius loved to flirt with Lily, not because he liked her, but simply because she got so irritated and it was fun to see.
"Black, how many times do I have to tell you - It's Lily. Not Lil, or Lils, or Flower Girl, or Lily flower. Just Lily."
Although Lily was annoyed by Sirius' teasing, she couldn't help but enjoy the chance to talk to Sirius and be able to glance at James while he was standing within a few feet of her. Wait. I shouldn't be enjoying that, Potter isn't that cute, she told herself inwardly. He's the one who everyone knows wants to go out with me. He's asked me out at least, what...ten times a year, ever since first year? Then why haven't you said yes? A little voice whispered in the back of her head.
Lily cleared her throat and blushed pink, suddenly aware that James was waving his hand in front of her face. "Lily...earth to Lily..hellllllo?"
"Right, sorry, I um, okay, well," stumbled Lily, trying to regain composure. She cleared her throat. "Well, I want to know what's gong on with Remus. Rose heard you guys talking during class and she thinks that he wants to break up with her. I don't believe that, but I see you guys sneaking out at night. What's going on?"
James and Sirius froze and made eye contact. Was there anyway they could get out of this? Probably not, they both agreed inwardly. They both knew that Lily was sharp and could tell if they made something up. It was James that spoke first.
"Whoa. Lily, uhh, well, I can tell you one thing for sure. As far as I know, Remus has no intention at all of breaking up with Rose." He offered a half smile hopefully.
Lily smiled at him. God, he was good looking. Dammit! Stop it, Evans, she thought. "Yeah, that's what I thought. But I still want to know why you three sneak out without Lupin some nights."
Sirius was quick. "Well, actually, Evans, I can't tell you that, cause it's about Remus, not me. If you want to know, you'll have to talk to either Remus or get through to his girlfriend." Sirius offered a smirk. James glared at Sirius.
Inside, Lily hadn't expected much more, but at least she knew for sure about Rose. "Fine. But this isn't over. If Remus won't tell, I'm coming back to you."
She nodded curtly to them and walked off.
James watched her walk off. Man, she had a nice butt. It was just the right size, too, not squishy or fat (not like he'd ever felt it), but trim yet pronounced.
Sirius saw the direction of his glance and whistled at his friend. "Ooooh, James.."
James ignored Sirius completely.
He couldn't help but admire Lily for wanting to take care of her friend like she did. He thought that it was really sweet. And, she had smiled at him! He had thought he would grab her and kiss her right there when she did that..she just looked so pretty and innocent-yet not too girly, because James admired Lily's many strengths and talents.
Man. There weren't enough girls like Lily Evans. But then again, that's what made her unique.
A/N - Well, I hope that was better than the last chapter. Please, R and R!!!!
