Chapter 10
Anna had barely been paying attention in charms. She had been thinking about all the weird things that were happening. There was no way Max would ever have gone out with Sirius out of her own free will. And the same with Lily and James. When she got her memory back, she would leave him right away. And Max would never cover for James. Something was going on.
The lesson ended, and Anna got up from her seat next to Remus.
"I have to talk to them, I'll see you later," she said kissing Remus on the cheek as he was packing up his books.
"All right," he said. "Bye."
"Lily, Max!" she called out to her friends, who were whispering softly. James and Sirius were talking to the teacher about the detention they had received for "disrupting" the class. "I need to talk to you two," Anna continued walking slowly over to them.
They exchanged glances and agreed.
"What's going on?" Lily asked, trying to come off confident and failing horribly.
"I need to ask you the same thing!" Anna replied sharply, very much unlike herself.
Lily and Max stared at her looking shocked.
"Calm down, Ani," Lily said soothingly. "Tell us, what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to know what you're doing to James and Sirius," Anna replied staring at the ground. She looked up in time to see them look quickly at each other and then back at her.
"Nothing," Max responded. "I just felt it was time that we're nicer to them. I mean, we can't hold a grudge against them forever, can we?"
"You used to say that you could and you would, when I suggested it to you," Anna said her dark eyes looking accusingly at the both of them.
"And I finally decided that you were right, Ani," Max said.
"Okay," Anna said slowly. "Is that why you're covering for him?" she asked looking at Lily to make sure she didn't understand. But Lily didn't look confused at all. She seemed perfectly aware of what was going on. Anna saw James and Sirius exit from the Charms classroom, talking excitedly about something.
"No," Max said slowly, pushing her hands into her pockets. Her eyes looked unfocused, and it seemed as if she was doing some very quick thinking.
"Then why?" Anna asked confused.
"I don't know," Max said looking down at her watch. "Now, I think that we should go eat lunch."
Max and Lily turned in the direction of the Great Hall, and took a few steps toward it.
"You're leaving me out of something!" Anna said accusingly at their backs.
They turned around quickly. Both of them looked partially guilty, but also hurt, as well.
"No we aren't," Max said.
Lily muttered something softly, so only someone very close could hear her. Her face looked extremely sad about something.
"What'd you say?" Anna asked curiously.
"Nothing," Lily said turning around, and walking towards the Great Hall. Max did the same thing.
Anna let out a sigh of frustration. They weren't telling her something and she knew it.
"Are you okay?" a voice came from the doorway. It was Remus.
"I'm fine," she sighed. Remus walked over and put his hand around her waist.
"Do you have any idea what is going on?" he asked her.
"No, but now I'm almost positive that there is something," she responded.
"I think you're right. Max wouldn't just ask Sirius out. Or become just "friends". And Lily seems a bit different now, not like when she had, when she had first lost her memory," Remus said in deep thought.
"You're right," she said lying her head on his shoulder, as they began heading towards the Great Hall. "You don't think that they're playing a joke on them, do you?"
"You know them better than I do," Remus answered.
"Remus, did you hear any of the conversation that we had? From the doorway, I mean?" Anna suddenly asked, lifting her head off of his shoulder and standing straight up.
"A little," Remus answered looking confused.
"You didn't catch what Lily said, did you? You know, when she said something really quietly?" Anna asked wondering if it would help solve any of this mystery.
"I had just come, when she said that," Remus answered.
"But did you catch what she said?" Anna asked again.
"It sounded like, 'yes we are,' but I hadn't heard anything before that," Remus said.
"Why? What was she talking about?" he asked.
"They are hiding something from me," she said.
"Any new ideas as to what it is now?" Remus asked interestedly. They stopped in front of the Great Hall.
"No," Anna answered. "But, I'm going to do whatever it takes to find out what they're up to," she continued determinedly.
