Sorry about the delay! I'll try to make the chapters come out quicker from
now on! But my internet has been down for a little while, and I had a lot
of problems writing this chapter too! But this one's longer than normal!
Disclaimer: Do I really have to do another one of these? Fine! I don't own it!
Chapter 12
James closed his mouth again. He got up from the chair that he was sitting in. He opened and closed his mouth. He appeared to be speechless.
When he finally found his voice, he regarded the whole thing as a joke. "What are you talking about?" he asked looking at them as though they were crazy.
"James," Anna tried, "Lily's using you."
James looked suspiciously at Anna, and then at Remus.
"I'm sure," James responded sarcastically.
"But it's true!" Anna yelled.
"It is not!" James shouted in return.
"I know Lily has done some pretty horrible things to us in the past, but she wouldn't do that!"
"James," Anna said pleadingly. "How long have you been dating her? A week? And how long has her memory been gone? Don't you think that she would have got it back by now?"
"Who knows? I'm not an expert on memory loss, and neither are you! So just shut the hell up!" James yelled at her angrily.
Anna recoiled, looking hurt. Remus wrapped his arms around her comfortingly.
"Look James," Remus began reasonably, "Ani overheard them talking in the library.
James looked at him. "So you didn't even hear them, Remus? Why should I believe her? We're not friends, and never have been."
"But Ani and I are friends, and she wouldn't lie to me," Remus stated emphasizing the "are".
James stared at both of them with a loss of words.
"James, think about it!" Anna told him. "Lily has never been nice to you before, she loses her memory, you lie to her, and then she figures it out. Does she seem like the type to take this stuff lying down?"
"I thought you said that she was using me? Now she just wants revenge?" James asked incredulously.
"Okay, James," Anna said slowly as though she was talking to a five-year old. "Lily is mad at you for lying to her, and she is using you for revenge. Do you understand?"
James looked at Anna very annoyed.
"Look, Anna," James said glaring angrily at her. "I know that Lily didn't used to like me, but I don't think that she would do something like that."
"James," Anna said secretively. "Let me let you in on a little secret." She was now whispering softly to him. "SHE HATES YOU! She's in the library right now planning ways to embarrass you!"
"Really?" James said disbelievingly. "Why don't we go there?"
"Fine! Let's go!" Anna agreed. James looked a bit taken aback as though he hadn't expected her to go along with the idea of going to the library.
"Okay, then," he replied shakily.
Anna suddenly walked over to the Portrait Hole, followed by Remus. She opened it and turned around when she realized that James was not behind them.
"Well, it was your idea! Aren't you coming?" she asked.
They walked to the library in complete silence, that was only broken when Peeves shot out of a classroom and pelted chalk at them. There was no more noise until they reached the library.
"I'll show you exactly where they are!" Anna said grabbing James's hand forcefully and leading him to the table where she had last seen Lily and Max.
"Ha!" Anna said triumphantly. "See? They're right. . . there," she said pointing at an empty table that was covered with dust and looked like it hadn't been touched since it was first put there. Even though, Anna could've sworn that that was where she had last seen Lily and Max.
James looked at Anna with a look of the utmost disgust. Then he turned to Remus and said, "You might want to choose your girlfriends a little more carefully, Remus."
Remus stared at James with a look of intense dislike that was deepening each second that Remus continued to look, if you hadn't known that they were friends, then you'd probably suspect them to be worst enemies, because each second James also seemed to be looking at Remus with a loathing look.
"Don't insult Anna," Remus hissed angrily, practically shaking from his deep anger. "At least I didn't have to trick my girlfriend into going out with me!"
"First of all, it was Sirius who told her that, and secondly," James began livid with anger, but never got the chance to finish since Anna finished for him.
"And secondly, you didn't do a thing to stop him! You didn't set Lily straight! Or anything else!" Anna yelled.
James, however continued on as though he had not heard her. "Secondly, did it ever occur to you that maybe I was planning on telling her."
"Oh James! I'm sorry were you planning on telling her?" Anna asked looking sorry for a moment.
"Well. . .no, but. . ." James said searching for words.
Anna looked livid again, and made some sort of sound of disgust, and Remus rolled his eyes.
"James," Remus said looking a bit calmer than he was earlier. "You have to tell her or she'll be really mad when she finds out."
"I thought that you said that she already did find out," James accused Remus.
"He meant it hypothetically!" Anna said sitting down on a chair and laying her head on the dusty table.
"You know, I thought that you were my friend," James said addressing only Remus, and turning around and practically stomping out of the library.
Anna stared at Remus for a few minutes, who was looking at James, until they heard a book drop from a nearby shelf.
They turned around and saw Lily and Max.
"So, he wasn't even going to tell me!" Lily said madly. "That jerk! I can't believe him!"
"What the hell were you trying to do, anyways, Anna? He's a stupid little ass to you to! Why do you want to protect a loser like that?" Max asked her angrily.
"Because he's Remus's friend," Anna answered.
"It didn't look like it," Max responded smirking at both of them. "You know if you are going to go and backstab your friends like that Anna, than you can just go get some new friends, Anna," Max told her bitterly, and left the library closely followed by Lily.
Anna buried her face on her arms, and Remus had the strongest that she crying, and put his arm around her.
"It's okay," he comforted her.
