Chapter 24: The Aftermath

-----

"I'M TELLING YOU, LILY, I DIDN'T WANNA KI-"

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR SORRY EXCUSES!"

"BUT LILY, I-" James started but Lily never wound up hearing it because she stormed into the school.

"ER!" James screamed in frustration.

"What... happened?" Peter asked him as he, Sirius and Remus finally caught up with James.

"I don't wanna talk about it..." James muttered as he plodded into the school.

Lily stormed into her dormitory.

"HE KISSED HER!" she bellowed to her friends.

"Who kissed who, Lils?" Alex asked as they sat her the bed next to her.

"JAMES... AND TRACY..." Lily yelled as she started to cry. Julia and Alex exchanged glances.

"Err, Lily, are you positive James wanted to kiss her?"

"Yeah, because she's obsessed with him, and you know, she might've just kissed him without him know-"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! YOU'RE TAKING HIS SIDE NOW?!" Lily bellowed. She got up to leave the room, tears rolling down her face in top speed.

"NO! Lily, that's not what we were saying!" Alex piped as she stood up to drag Lily back to the bed. Lily pulled her arm out of her grasp.

"WELL, HE'S SUCH AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE THAT HE'D KISS ANY GIRL HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON... I.E. TRACY!"

"Oh, Lily I'm so sorry!" Samantha screeched as she entered the room to find Lily bawling. "Are you okay?!"

Lily shook her head and whipped some of the tears that were cascading down her soft face.

"There, there..." Samantha sighed as she patted her back. Lily flung her arms around Samantha's neck and cried into her shoulder. Samantha had a disgusted look on her face, but saw the other two and smirked.

Julia was the first of the two to talk. "You're not sorry for her, Samantha."

"Yeah, you're the one who did this to her, we saw the whole thing!" Alex chimed in.

Samantha had a surprised face on. Lily let go of her and rushed to the bathroom. "Why, what are you talking about Alexandra?"

Helen strolled into the dormitory and headed for the bathroom. She opened the door to find Lily washing her face, her eyes very red.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" she bellowed. Lily flinched and turned to her. She shook her head.

"Nothing, I'll explain later."

Helen sighed. "WELL, IT'S DINNER TIME, LET'S GO!"

"I'm not going," Lily said as she turned back to the mirror. Helen shrugged and bounced out of the room. The other three girls followed her a moment after.

"AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!" James yelled as he fell onto his bed.

Remus shook his head. "So you DIDN'T want the kiss?"

"NO!" James said in an exasperated tone. "She'll probably say to her friends that I'm a 'arrogant prat who'll kiss any girl'!"

Sirius looked up from the floor. "It's dinner time." James sighed.

"You guys leave without me." The three of them sighed and left a depressed James with his head in a pillow.

"So what do you suggest we do?" Alex asked the other four as she helped herself to some salad.

"We could get them in the same room and force them to talk to each other," Remus suggested.

"Ooh, a little rendezvous?" asked Sirius as he wiped his mouth. Remus nodded.

"A little... get-together?" He nodded again.

"A little powwow?"

"YES, SIRIUS, A LITTLE MEETING!" Remus finally shouted. Sirius frowned and turned his back to him.

"I thought you'd be impressed by my vocabulary skills," he said in a hokey (A/N: haha what a silly word!) insulted voice. Remus rolled his eyes.

Julia called for everyone to get closer. "So what we'll do is..."
