Title: Life's a Bitch
Chapter 13: Quality Time
When Fettie reached the door to her dormitory, where Lily is, and opened the door and pushed James through.
"Wait what-." Too late James was already in the dorm.
Lily jerked her head to the door.
James turned bright red and smiled.
"Uh hi." James greeted feeling very awkward.
"What the hell are you doing James?" Lily was lying down on her bed, reading her favorite story when James came in. Luckily she wasn't coming out of the shower or else that would not have been a pretty picture.
"Well uh I came to uh talk to you. To see if you're ok." James stuttered.
Lily nodded, "Uh huh. Well I'm fine so you can go now."
James sighed, "Look Lily. I'm really sorry I scared you off like that. I didn't mean to. I just-"
"You just what James? Thought that I would kiss you back? Well guess what? I didn't. I was going to but then I..I remembered something I had to do."
"Lily, I know there's something going on between you and Fettie. I don't know what it is so you don't have to worry," he said quickly when he saw that Lily was going to say something, "But whatever it is you two shouldn't be mad at each other about it. You two can get through this. You have friends here who are going to help you two through it."
"But you don't understand James, Fettie's leaving at the end of this year and she might not be coming back."
James stared in shock at Lily, but got over it. "There are going to be obstacles always in the way of your friendship. You have a choice between going against them and battling them or you can just hide from them and let the obstacle win. Yeah Fettie may be leaving, but she's still always going to stay friends with you. You guys should spend all the time you can together before she leaves or else when she's gone you won't be able to spend any time with her."
That hit Lily right in the face. James was right. There was still a few months left. Lily jumped out of bed and ran to James. She hugged him, "Thank you so much James." She kissed him and ran out of the door.
Lily ran up and down corridors looking for Fettie. Where the hell is she? Maybe she's in the forest. Lily ran all the way to the Forbidden Forest and transformed.
She flew to where she and Fettie last spoke and sure enough Fettie was there.
Lily transformed and walked up to Fettie. "Hey."
Fettie turned around and smiled, "Hey. I thought you were mad at me."
Lily hugged Fettie and apologized, "I'm sorry. I don't want you to leave and I guess I over reacted a little bit."
Fettie smirked.
"Fine I really took it over board and over reacted."
"That's ok. I understand. I'm sorry that I have to leave."
"Let's not talk about that right now. Let's talk about it a week before you leave."
"Ok. So what did you and James talk about." Fettie smiled.
Lily glared at her, "So it was you who made him come in."
"Maybe."
Lily laughed. The two were back together again.
Over the next few weeks Lily and Fettie spent as much time as they could with each, but every once in a while giving each other some space. They took play in some battles.
One day while they were in the training room training for an upcoming battle, Fettie brought up the subject about James.
"Lily do you like James?" Fettie inquired.
Lily grunted as she hit the punching bag, "Well he's cute and all but I'm not going to ask him out. I don't do that."
"Why cause you chicken?"
Lily stopped, "I'm not chicken. It's just I don't ask guys out. I wait for them to ask me."
"Oh, well why don't you take a chance and ask James out. You know you want to." Fettie teased.
"I don't know. Maybe I will."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah why not. He's a nice guy. I've known him for a while."
"Cool."
"He is a nice guy. I went out with him remember? In like what second year?"
"You went out with all of the Marauders didn't you?"
"All except one."
"Peter." They said in unison.
"When I went out with James, he gave me presents."
"Really? I'm so going out with him." She said jokingly. They laughed.
"I'm going to take a shower." Lily announced.
"Oh you're going to go and ask James out aren't you?"
Lily blushed and ran out of the room.
Fettie smirked. I'm going to go and tell Sirius and Remus. We can go and see what they do. Fettie left to go and find the two.
Meanwhile with the boys
James, Sirius and Remus were in the boy's dormitory getting ready. Today was a Saturday so that meant no school.
"Hey James, when are you going to ask Lily out?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, you've been saying you would for weeks." Remus added.
"I will. I'm going to ask her today."
"Where?" Sirius asked.
"Outside."
"Outside where?" Remus pressed on.
"Near the Forbidden Forest under the tree that has front view of the lake."
"When did Jamsie become romance king?" Sirius teased.
James grabbed a pillow and threw it at Sirius while Remus fell on the floor laughing.
"I'm leaving." He said.
"He's going to ask Lilykins out."
"James and Lily sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes-" Remus and Sirius sang in harmony.
James slammed the door.
"Let's go and get Fettie." Sirius said. The two opened the door to run to Fettie but she was already at their door.
"You two know already don't you?"
"Yup."
"Let's go."
James walked to Lily door and knocked. Lily opened the door, "Hey James. I was just going to see you."
"Oh. Um Lily do you want to go and take a walk."
"Sure."
The two walked out to where James wanted to go while they talked. Remus, Sirius, and Fettie were following them.
The two sat down against the tree and stared out on to the lake. Finally someone said something. "Uh Lily, could I ask you something?" James inquired.
"Uh you just did, but yeah you can ask me another question." Lily chuckled.
James blushed, "Uh doyouwanttogooutwithme?"
"What? I'm sorry I didn't catch that."
"Do you want to go out with me?"
"Um."
Fettie, Sirius and Remus jumped out from their hiding place and shouted, "SAY YES!"
Lily laughed and said, "Yes James, I'll go out with you."
"Halla lu ya!" They shouted.
