Hey, I just noticed I never told you what anybody looked like. Well you probably already know what James, Sirius, Remus, and lily look like. Cheri has long dark blonde hair and blue eyes. She is slim and pretty. Millie has brown hair to her shoulders she has brown eyes and is also slim. Ok sorry you don't get to know that till this chapter. Again sorry and lets get to the story,

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Everyone was at breakfast that morning. James and Sirius like always stuffing their faces. The mail came in and a letter landed in front of lily. it was addressed from her parents so she tore it opened and it read

'Dear lily, I am sorry to say that your father and I are getting a divorce, He has confessed about having a romantic affair with another woman behind my back. I am terribly sorry to tell you like this but it will be a long time till I see you considering you are not coming home this Christmas break.

I love you lily
Sincerely
Mother

The handwriting on the letter was all smudged from her mother's tears. Tears also started streaming fro lily's eyes while she read.

"Lily are you ok?" James asked

"I I I'm f fine" lily stumbled out as she got up and ran out of the great hall

"what happened? She just opened the letter and started crying" Cheri said

"I don't know but I'm going to go find out" James said getting up. He ran out of the hall after lily.

"lily" James yelled looking for her. he searched the whole castle until he got to the girl dorm. He knocked but there was no answer so he reached for the doorknob but it was locked.

"Lily I know you're in there. Its James let me in I want to talk to you" James said. There was no answer to he sat down next to the door.

"lily please let me in" James pleaded.

"I know your there baby" James said again

"Go away" James heard through sobbing noises

"Come on lily don't cry. Let me in and tell me what happened" James said

"I don't want to talk to you!" James heard again. This upset him but he still sat there against the wall by the door. After about 4 hours Sirius came into the common room.

"JAME S, LILY YOU HERE" Sirius yelled

"I'm up here Padfoot" James said depressingly. Sirius walked up the stairs to the girl's dormitories ( they put spells on them selves so they could use the stairs)

"what's going on prongs" Sirius said when he saw the look on James's face

" I was trying to talk to Lily about four hours ago when she shouted for me to go away and that she didn't want to talk to me. I think she's mad at me" James explained

"sorry mate" Sirius said

"let me try" Sirius said

"lily are you in there. Its Sirius I want to talk to you" Sirius reached for the door and it was unlocked ( to James's surprise) so he walked in and closed the door.

'she is mad at me' James thought just the Remus came in and walked up the stairs

"what's going on prongs?" Remus asked

"she'll let Sirius in but no not her boyfriend whose been waiting out side the door for 4 hours." James said

"what?" Remus asked confused

"she told me she didn't want to talk to me so I've been waiting here for 4 hours then padfoot came up and she let him in but no I cant go in. I am really pissed right now Remus. She's driving me insane" James said

"sorry prongs" Remus said. He really felt sorry for James this time. James leaned his head to the door and listened he heard Sirius say something about James not going to hurt lily

* In Lily's room *

"Lily you ok?" Sirius asked as he walked in. Lily was crying on her bed when Sirius spoke she threw the letter at him. He read it and felt really bad for her

"oh Lily I am so sorry" Sirius said trying to comfort her

"What does this have to with not letting James in the room though?" Sirius asked

"I, I, I don't think I can date James anymore" Lily began
"Why not?" Sirius asked

"its, j, just that I don't want to get hurt ok" lily said

"James isn't going to hurt you though" Sirius said

"I just don't want to end up in my mothers position" Lily said and she threw herself into her pillow crying

"Everything going to be fine Lily" Sirius said

"Just leave me alone" lily said. Sirius got up and left the room. he tripped over James in the process and fell down the stairs.

"Sirius!" James yelled after him. He ran down the stairs followed by Remus to see if he was alright

"Are you ok?" James asked

"I'm fine!" Sirius shot back getting up with the help of Remus and James.

"You know that's the second time I've fell down those stairs because of you!" Sirius said looking at James

"i'm sorry" James said helping Sirius up and onto the couch

"what went on in there?" James asked

"Lily's dad cheated on Lily's mother and their getting divorced so she doesn't want to get hurt like her mother meaning she doesn't want to be with you." Sirius said

"but I would never hurt her. I any way" James said

"I know that and I told her that but she told me to leave. I'm sorry prongs" Sirius said.

"I've had it with her. She can't even trust me can she? You'd think after everything shed learn to trust me but no. I've really had it. She's driving me insane!" James said as he got up and headed for the door.

"Prongs you don't mean that" Sirius said but it was too late the portrait shut in the middle of Sirius's sentence

"You think he meant that moony" Sirius asked turning to Remus

"No he's just blowing off some steam" Remus replied.

"Think I should go find him?" Sirius asked

"No just give him some time to cool off"

"Ok, I just he doesn't do anything stupid" Sirius said

"Like what?" Remus asked

"Hmm lets see every girl in the school will be fawning over him right now" Sirius said.

"Good point. But I think he loves lily enough not to do that." Remus said

"Lets hope" Sirius said.
