"I HAD TO HEAR IT OFF POTTER MEG, POTTER!" Lily screamed at Megan pain etched in each line of her face.

The room was empty now everyone else had left Lily and Megan alone knowing they needed to talk privately to sort this out.

"I'm so sorry Lil, I meant to tell you it just sort of happened, I would have told you Lil," Megan said reaching out and grabbing Lily's hand.

She knew this was hurting Lily and she hated lying to her but she knew she had to so that her hanging around with Sirius and Remus didn't seem any more suspicious to Lily than it already would. She felt so guilty about hurting Lily like this though, it didn't matter how many times she told herself that she had to do this for Lily's future happiness it didn't stop these feelings. However knowing the future did have some advantages it made her more understanding to why her friend was hurting like this even if she didn't.

"BUT YOU DIDN'T MEG, POTTER DID! HE HAD TO TELL ME AND HE TOOK GREAT PLEASURE IN IT! KNOWING SOMETHING I DIDN'T ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND MAKING ME FEEL AND LOOK LIKE A RIGHT IDIOT. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? WHY DID YOU LET ME HEAR IT OFF HIM!" Lily cried pulling her hand free from Megan's grasp.

Megan looked again at the tears welling up in her friend's eyes and her heart broke.

"Please Lil believe me I was going to tell you. I wanted to tell you first but…. but…." Megan was lost for words she'd never seen Lily this upset her heart was breaking for the friend who was still so naïve and the loss of that same friend which she was helping with.

"What Meg? What?" Lily asked concern etched on her face as she saw the pain fleet across her friend's face as the last thought passed through her mind.

Lily couldn't explain even to herself why she was so upset about Meg dating Sirius, she really wanted Meg to be happy, she really did but why did she have to pick Sirius, why? And why was this causing her so much pain why did she feel betrayed and upset she shouldn't. It was because Sirius was an idiot she finally decided who would make Meg unhappy. Lily felt this wasn't the full truth but she didn't know what the full truth was, she was so confused.

"It's nothing Lil, I'm fine. I'm just worried I've upset you. I was going to tell you Lil honestly it was just James came in and was saying things to me and Sirius…" Megs voice trailed off then as her friend's eyes flashed at the mention of James.

This is going to be harder than we all thought Meg thought to herself, she doesn't even realise why she is so upset really that she likes James and he's being horrible to her.

"So let me get this straight," Lily said her eyes narrowing speciously "Black stuck up for you in front of Potter?"

Megan could only nod at this not wanting to say anything in case Lily could see that she wasn't telling her the full truth.

"How long Meg?" Lily asking slumping into a chair pain giving away slowly to acceptance on her face.

Meg took a deep breath before she came out with the deliberate lie she had to tell her.

"Not long Lil a couple of weeks. I knew it was going to hurt you Lil and believe me I didn't want that but he's nice Lil," at this Lily gave a snort of laughter which Megan ignored and carried on talking "I like him Lil please accept this, please Lil".

Megan watched then as Lily got up from the chair she'd slumped in and hugged her, guilt shot through her at this action but she hugged her back regardless.

"I can't say I'm happy about your choose of a boyfriend but I suppose if he makes you happy then I have to accept it. Warn him though that if he hurts you I'll hurt him twice as bad".

Megan watched then as her friend walked away from her towards the stairs that led out of the room.

"At least it wasn't Potter I suppose," Lily said over her shoulder as the door closed behind her.

"It's amazing Lil you both think so alike and yet neither of you can see what's right in front of you," Megan said quietly to the now empty room.
