"Leave, Get out!" shouted a red-faced and teary-eyed Lily Evans. She grabbed the case on the nearest table and hurled it at James' head.
He ducked, just barely, "Lily, it wasn't me, I swear, I don't know what Sirius saw." Pleaded James. He ducked again as a candle stick holder zoomed toward him.
"I don't believe you. GET OUT!" Shouted Lily again, she picked up another candle stick.
"Fine, I'll leave, but you'll regret this Lil." Shouted James, slamming the door behind him.
It all started a few short hours ago. Sirius Black had been walking down Diagon Ally trying to pass time. He went up and down the street numerous time, but as he walked past Dymond Jems, for what seemed like the hundredth time, he spotted someone familiar.
It was none other then James Potter, Sirius' best friend and Lily's boyfriend. What surprised Sirius was that James was in the company of another girl.
Sirius did a double take, and he saw James plant a kiss on the girls cheek.
Sirius ducked behind a large cage of color changing parrots perched outside the jewelry store. 'How could James do this to Lily?!' he thought angrily to himself as James and the mystery girl left the shop.
Sirius straightened up and ran down the lane back into the leaky cauldron; after toppling 3 elderly witches, a hag and 5 tall ice cream cones.
Sirius apperated with a loud 'pop' right in front of his and Lily's house. They had started living together shortly after they graduated from Hogwarts. Lily's parents had died during her sixth year. And Sirius' parents had disowned him after he refused to become a faithful servant of the Dark Lord.
Sirius walked through the front door slowly,"Lil" he said caustiously. "We, um, We gotta talk." 'You know what you saw, Sirius, just tell her that her boyfriend is a worthless troll.' thought Sirius.
Lily walked out of her bedroom. "Sure, Sirius. What is it?" she had one of her signature smiles planted on her beautiful face. She walked over and jumped onto the couch, then motioned for him to join her. He walked over and sat down. "I don't know how to tell you this." he began shakily.
Lily gave him a awkward smile. "You don't know how to tell me what." She had no idea what was about to be said.
"Lily, I saw James today with another girl." The shock on Lily's face made him wince. ' I shouldn't be the one to tell her this,' he thought.
"No," cried Lily. "You must have made a mistake." 'This isn't happening. This isn't happening.' Her brain was screaming inside. "It wasn't him, it couldn't of been him." "No, Lily. You're not listening to me, James is cheating on you with another woman. I saw it with my own eyes." he finished looking into lily's emerald green eyes. He could see behind them her heart was breaking into a million pieces. The tears started pouring down her pail face. "Lils," Sirius started before pulling her into a tight embrace. "Im just glad I have a friend that's looking out for me." she sobbed into Sirius' shoulder.

"Fine, I'll leave." Shouted James, slamming the door behind him. The glass in the door flew out and smashed on the tile floor. Lily's eyes watered again as she ran into her bedroom, jumped into bead and turned out the light.
"Lily, Sirius," it was Diana Johnson, Lily's best friend. 'That's odd,' she thought. 'Lily said she'd be here all day.' Diana proceeded looking around the house, when she finally ended up outside of Lily's bedroom, she heard someone inside. Diana slowly opened the door to pear in, "Lil" she called cautiously. There was no answer.
She went over to the bed, a red lock of hair was hanging outside of the blankets. "Lily, what's wrong?" sympathetically asked Diana.
"Jamaschatanganma!"she sobbed, pulling the covers back over her head. "Oh, hunny," Diana started pulling Lily into a hug. She actually had no idea what Lily had said but she knew it had to be bad. "How did it happen?" she went for a nice generally question.
Lily took a deep breath and began to tell the story. She told Diana how James was seen by Sirius with another girl, how James tried to say it wasn't him and how James just left. A few more tears escaped Lily's emerald eyes.
"Oh," was the only thing Diana could think of saying. She was supposed to go out to dinner with Sirius tonight for they're 6 month anniversary, but she really didn't want to leave Lily here alone. She knew she had to call Sirius to call off the date. It was time for a girls night in. "Lily, I hate to do this, but I left something in the living room." She pulled herself form the room and went right to the fireplace. She took some floo powder and waited for the flames to turn green. She knelt down and stuck her head into the warm flames. "Potter Mansion,"she shouted closing her eyes. After a minute she opened them again and looking into the living room of the Potter home.
Diana knew most times then not she would find Sirius at either his and Lily's place or the Potters house. The Potters, as in James parents, were some of the worthiest people in the magical world. James' dad, Harold Potter, was none other then the Minister of Magic.
"Sirius, Sirius Black," Diana called from her stationary spot in the fire. Even if James wasn't home, Sirius would be over to eat out the kitchen. 'Those poor house elves,' thought Diana.
Fed up with waiting, Diana tugged her head back out of the fire. She took another handful of floo powder off the mantel and threw it in the fire, again waiting for the emerald flames. She stepped in and shouted "The Potter Mansion." The fireplace began to spin and she stepped out into the Potter's living room. It was spotless, like always. Her first instinct was to check the kitchen. And of course, there Sirius Black was.
"Didn't you hear me shouting, "Diana remarked, her hands firmly planted on her hips.
"Oh, that was you. Sorry." He said walking over to Diana and planting a kiss on her cheek. "What's the matter." he could always tell just how she was feeling, her eyes said it all. And right now it was worry in her big brown eyes.
"Well," Diana started. "I'm worried about Lily. All she does is cry." "I understand, she's just gotten her heart broken by someone she thought loved her. What do you expect her to do? Walk around town all cheerful like. I don't think so." Remarked Sirius. Taking a bite of his sandwich that he held in his hand.
"Well, I was thinking, if you didn't mind to much, could I give you a rain check on dinner?" she smiled up into his startling eyes. When she saw the look on Sirius' face she continued. "I want to have an all girls night with lily to try and make her feel better." Sirius loved Lily like a sister and if he had to choose, he'd want her to be happy even if he had to give up a night with his girlfriend. "Fine, a rain check it is." he smiled down at Diana. He was a good foot taller then her.
'Fine, as long as Diana wasn't seeing another guy.' he thought menacingly.
"Great, but could I ask you one more favor?" Diana asked twisting her hair around her finger.
"Yes, my dear, what is it?" Sirius laughed.
"I just need you to get a few things for us?" giggled Diana. She knew that Sirius hated errands, but to her surprise he complied. "Yeah, what do you need?" Anything for Diana or Lily. 'Now that he and Lily were living together, he was like the older brother watching over her.' "Write this down," Diana smiled. She opened a drawer and pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill. She handed it to Sirius.
He walked back over to the table and motioned for Diana to join her. "Ready." he stated.
He ducked, just barely, "Lily, it wasn't me, I swear, I don't know what Sirius saw." Pleaded James. He ducked again as a candle stick holder zoomed toward him.
"I don't believe you. GET OUT!" Shouted Lily again, she picked up another candle stick.
