Chapter 4...Fighting causes fights
Lily Evans walked out into the Great hall, half an hour later.
Sandy and Talia ran up to her. "God! Where WERE you?"
"Where is Thomas?"
She forced a smile, "Well, Erm tom, yeah. I don't actually know where he is. Nor do I care." Talia and sandy looked at each other.
"Lils? Is everything okay?" Sandy asked.
"What did he do?" Talia said.
Lily didn't really want to make a big commotion on the reunion night. She just wanted to try and have fun. But she couldn't lie to her friends.
"Well, telling the truth, He cheated on me. With Ella. Remus caught them all over each other, and that was a good enough reason to end it."
Sandy and Talia stared. "Aww...lils" Sandy said, hugging her. "That's terrible hun.."
Talia, being the aggressive one looked around. "Where is that mongrel, let him just wait..."
Lily laughed. "No Tal, I don't want anyone doing anything to him. I slapped him, and my words is enough. I dealt with it, it's dealt with. It's all over. I don't need someone to do my work for me, I can."
And with that, the girls hugged each other and went around socialising.
Remus Lupin walked back to the marauders who were all looking very sour.
"What? What happened?" Remus asked.
"We just found out, that our oh-so-favourite Slytherin is on HIS side" Sirus said, sneering at the word 'his'.
"You-Know-Who, he means...if you didn't know who 'his' was" squeaked Peter.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Of course he knows, prat!" said Remus.
James and Sirus looked at him. Peter looked very hurt. James and Sirus always teased Peter, but never Remus.
"Uh, would I be right be saying something's wrong, Moony?" James asked.
Remus didn't know whether to say it or not. "Uh....well,Oh my god, look! It's Nearly Headless nick! OI! NICK!"
And Remus ran over to greet the ghost.
"Oh well, he's great at ever so subtly avoiding the question" Said Sirus, sarcastically.
James sighed, wondering what was wrong when he looked over and saw Lily being hugged by her friends. He then saw Remus giving her a sympathetic look. His heart started pumping, What on earth was wrong?
James walked over to Lily, who was talking to Amos Diggory.
"Oh, Hello Potter" Said Amos. James, who was never to fussed on 'too-big-for-my-boots-' Diggory, forced a smile,
"Hi., Erm Lily.."
"Evans.." she whispered, harshly.
His face fell. "Evans..Erm, Thomas is waiting for you in erm, outside." He said, saying the first thing that came into his head.
Unfortunately, this was the worst thing he could have said.
"Do you mind having a little tact, Potter! You may think that because I DUMPED you, I owe you or-or I don't have any feelings or something. But actually, I do have a little bit of feelings. Hell, I am ONLY HUMAN!"
Amos walked away, mumbling some excuse. Though, many heads turned. James was absolutely bamboozled.
"Erm, Lily? What do you mean? All I was saying.."
"ALL YOU WERE SAYING? All you were implying. Okay!" She said, her hands flying up. "okay! I admit it! I didn't stop loving you! And yeah, I STUFFED up! Okay? I chose the wrong guy. And yeah, I told your idiot blabbermouth of a friend that I may still have feelings for you. But you know what? I don't anymore! And this isn't a lie."
James's jaw dropped to the ground, Sandy and Talia rushed over to Remus, who explained he didn't tell anything.
"Lily, calm down..I don't know what you are talking about..and I think.." he tried pulling her into the other room.
"No James, That's where you are wrong. You don't think. You never do, and thats why, I now, officially HATE you." She stormed away.
Many people in the audience started to murmur. James was completely confused, and he ran after her, much to Remus dismay.
In the next room, James caught up with Lily.
"STOP!" he yelled.
She twirled around. "You have the nerve to come after me?" she whispered, harshly.
"I came after you to find out what you were talking about. Let me explain. I saw your friends hugging you and I wanted to know what was wrong. So I made up an excuse to get you away from Bighead Diggory to ask you."
Lily sighed from her rash behaviour. "Oh James, I am so sorry" she said, pulling in for a hug.
As tempted as he was, he couldn't get over what lily had said. I HATE you, her shrilling voice ran through his head. He pulled away.
"What were you talking about Lily? So many things were said just then, I can't wrap my head around it." Lily noticed the pulling away.
She made up her mind what to say. "I said when I broke up with you, I still loved you. I told Remus I said that. Okay, so it may seems that is right. But i am so sorry, i said that in the heat of the moment..." she said, feeling like a total cow. But she had to lie.
"What moment?" Said james, heartbroken once more.
"I saw Thomas..half naked..with Ella. I didn't know what to think, I wasn't thinking straight." She lied, for the second time to James.
Despite just being told he wasn't loved by the person he love, he still kept loyal.
"He what? He cheated on you??"
lily was surprised he took notice of this.
"Yeah...It was.."
"WHERE IS HE?"
"James," she said, seeing the anger and violence about to be inflicted. She held his hand, "DON'T. I dealt with it, Just go enjoy your reunion. I am so sorry for everything I did James." She walked off.
But James took out his wand and an old looking piece of paper. He murmed ''I solomley swear I up to no good'', and smiled in triumph.
He found Thomas.
Thomas was in a room with Ella, talking,
"Do you regret it, Thomas?" Ella asked.
He squirmed. "I feel guilty of course..."
"So do I tom, don't worry" Ella lied.
"But... I don't want this to end between us" Ella smiled and touched his hand.
"It won't, Tom, but it has to end for tonight. I mean, I don't want to labelled a tramp or anything!" she said.
With that, she kissed him on the lips, and walked out of the room.
Minutes after, James Potter barged in. "Potter, is it?" Enquired Thomas.
James threw him against the wall. "You hurt Lily."
Thomas gulped. Uh-oh
"When she chose you over me, I thought you must be a pretty decent guy. I was obviously wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
James smiled. "I was Lily's high school lover. I know lily better than everyone else. And anyone who ever hurts lily, emotionally or Physically, I don't think deserve to be treated like a gentleman." James punched Thomas on the nose, causing it to bleed.
Thomas stood up. "Man, your jealous. She loves me, dude. Not you."
He looked at him up and down.
"Who would? With your shaggy hair, which looks like it's never been touched. Cheap robes, ridiculous smile....why, I don't think anyone in their right mind would go for you. Hey, maybe Lisa Lovegood likes you...try her." Thomas said, smiling.
He then kicked James. James, much stronger, grabbed him and pulled him up the wall, and took out his wand.
"Expelli..." James begun, then the door slammed open.
Lily, red faced, stormed in.
"JAMES!!!!" she shrilled, "PUT HIM DOWN!"
"Get out." She whispered to Thomas.
He ran out as fast as he could. She turned to James.
"I said I could handle it James. I did. I sorted him out, you know I like to sort out my own problems. Why, why, did you have to come after him?" she said, looking sad.
"I though you respected me."
"I-I'm sorry..." he murmed.
"Actually, No, I'm not. You think me beating him up isn't out of respect and love? You think I do that to someone for fun?? But, really, What reasons should I have to respect you? You leave me without any explanation at all. You tell my mate that you love me, then you say naaaah, actually that was just the heat of the moment, As if I would love james.."
"It's not like that" Lily whispered.
"I then show that I care about you by hurting the guy that made you so sad. And you yell at me. Then, after all that, you say I should respect you." He continued,
Lily looked at him, expressionless.
"You make me sound like some kinda criminal..." Lily exclaimed.
"And you make me feel like some kinda loser." James retorted.
Lily walked out, not looking back.
