Chapter 12
* * * * *
(Lily's Point of view)
"Lily, I can explain." Remus said calmly, a Ravenclaw was latched onto him.
"I don't want to hear it Remus! I thought you were different. I thought that maybe because of the way you found Narcissa would have made you think more rationally. By the way, what the hell were you thinking Remus!? I really want to know!" I screamed. The Ravenclaw looked at me and then Remus.
"You told me that you didn't have a girlfriend!" She said angrily. I'll kill her.
"Bridget wait," Remus called.
"Remus. I don't know what to say. I honestly can't believe you. We are through," I said icily. Mind you, I am an inch away from loosing it and crying right then and there.
* * * *
(James's point of view)
Lindsey is still here. We decided to have a much needed hanging out time.
"Now James, tell me, where was the weirdest place you have ever snogged someone before?" Lindsey inquired. We have been playing question games for an hour.
"Hmm, that is pretty hard. I would have to say . . . on a broomstick," I said finally.
"A broomstick? I give you credit Mr. Potter," Lindsey said laughing.
"And you, Miss Laurence?"
"Under my dormitory bed with Sirius last year. McGonagall was doing rounds of every girl dorm and Sirius was in mine so we hid under the bed," She said smiling.
I chuckled as she reminisced. "Lindsey, you remember when you asked me about Lily, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I like her . . . for a while now," I said, letting out a long sigh.
"I know," she said softly. Lindsey looked down and got up. She slowly made her way to Sirius's four-poster. She touched the pillow and picked it up. "It smells like Sirius."
"Of course it does. He was sleeping and drooling on it like 8 hours ago."
"James, you know what I mean. I miss his smell . . . I just miss him," Lindsey replied.
"What if there was a way to get him back?" I said. A plan has formulated in my mind. Unfortunately, I am still with Bella, but what if Lindsey and I pretend to go out. It will make Lily and Sirius jealous. Oh this better work!
"Try me?"
"We go out." She looked at me with surprise.
"James, this is definitely a bad idea. Us, go out, haha, James, you're my best friend. I wouldn't be able to . . . you know . . . kiss you." She said this hurriedly, but I still caught it.
I chuckled. "Lindsey, come on. We won't have to kiss in private, maybe once or twice in public. Please! I really want Lily, and I know that you really want Sirius back."
She started to blush. This is fun! "I guess," she finally answered.
"Great! Now I have to break it off with Bella and you with Will."
"I have to break up with Will. This is going to be hard. He has been absolutely wonderful to me."
"It is our only choice!"
"Fine!"
* * * * *
(Lindsey's Point of view)
I can't believe I am breaking up with Will, for James! This is getting too weird. "Uh Will, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked slowly.
"Sure."
I led him into the Room of Requirement, which apparently set itself up with comfy coaches, a couple of boxes of tissues, and a nice fireplace. How convenient.
"Will, this past month has been, amazing! It's just that- " He put his finger to my lips.
"I know. You rushed into this too quickly. Lindsey, I like you a lot. You are a special girl, any guy would be lucky to have you. I was lucky. I know that you miss Sirius," he said quietly.
"I'm sorry Will."
"Don't worry. I'm fine. Believe me, I understand your situation. I just hope we can remain friends."
"Oh, definitely."
I let out a long sigh and walked out of the Room of Requirements with Will.
* * * *
(James's point of view)
Now I have to break it off with Bella. Finally, I have a reason! I have no idea where she is really. Maybe she is off with Mikul, hopefully! Then I have some sort of reason for breaking up with her.
"Oh, hey Bella."
"JAMES!" she squealed. She broke away from her friends and ran up to me. She gave me a kiss and I had to bite back a remark.
"Can I have a word?" I asked seriously.
"Uh, sure. Anything!"
"I'm going to be blunt with this. Bella, we should see other people."
"WHAT?"
"I don't like you like that, and I want to see other people."
"You can't do this to me though!"
"Yes I can. I don't want to date you anymore. Bella, we are through." I walked away leaving Bella behind me. Step two, getting people to believe that me and Lindsey are going out.
* * * * *
(Lily's Point of view)
I can't believe Remus would do that to me! He is just so lucky that I didn't hex him. I would seriously have killed him!
I headed through the portrait and made my way to an overstuffed arm chair; my favorite chair. Ten minutes later, James and Lindsey walk into the common room talking in low whispers. "What is so secret?" I whisper to them, as they take a seat on the coach. James draped his arm around Lindsey's shoulder.
"Planning our date . . ." James said smiling.
I practically choked on my own tongue. Lindsey, James, dating!? No way! "Date?"
"Yeah!" they said in unison.
"But what about Will and Bella?" I said like a blubbering fool.
"We broke up with them," Lindsey replied simply.
"Ah." I am speechless; absolutely speechless.
"Well James, I am going to go upstairs. I need to study this time; you distract me too much," Lindsey said with a wink. She gave James a quick kiss on the lips and went upstairs. Well, then it must be true, she and James kissed.
"So when did this happen?" I said, still slightly shocked.
"A little earlier today."
"Oh."
"I'm going to go Lily. Get some sleep; you look tired." He said sweetly. He walked over to me and gave me a hug.
"Goodnight James." I said after his retreating back.
* * * * * * *
(James's Point of view)
Yesterday went well. Lily is definitely jealous. Now it is Sirius's turn for the green eyed monster to visit.
"Morning Padfoot," I said to Sirius, who very clearly had a hangover.
"Stop yelling!" Sirius shouted, grabbing his head.
I just laughed. How cruel am I? "Maybe, you shouldn't have had that whole bottle of rum yesterday."
"Now you tell me!" Sirius said bitterly.
"Hey, don't blame me for this. You told me that you could hold your liquor."
"You shouldn't have believed me."
"Well, lets stop point fingers at each other. I have to go meet Lindsey at the lake. We are going to have a picnic."
"You are going on a picnic with Lindsey?" Sirius asked curiously. He took out a little vial of potion and was about to drink it.
"Yep; my new girlfriend!" I said happily. Sirius spit out whatever was in his mouth.
"Lindsey is your girlfriend!?" Sirius shouted.
"Don't get your knickers in a twist Padfoot. It's not like you are still going out with her!"
* * * * * *
(James's point of view cont')
"Lindsey, you should I have seen Sirius's face. It was priceless!"
"Oh I wish I could've."
"Hey guys!" We turned around and saw Rachel coming towards us.
"Rachel, how are you? How is your family?" Lindsey asked sincerely. Rachel has been gone for a while now. There was a major crisis and she had to go home.
"I'm fine, the family is getting along. It is so good to be back here."
"I can imagine," I said smiling.
"Anything new happen while I was gone?"
"Actually yes. Lily broke up with Remus, Lindsey and Sirius split, and Bella and I broke up. Now, Lindsey and I are dating."
"You and Lindsey? I would never have thought that. I mean, you guys are best friends."
"Well, things change," Lindsey said smiling, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"Good luck you two," Rachel said. She walked back up to the castle.
"Great acting skills!" I said grinning.
"Why thank-you!"
"I really can't believe people believe this. Oh damn, Sirius and Lily are making their way over here," I said hurriedly.
"What should we do?" Lindsey asked, starting to panic.
I did the only thing I could think off. I grabbed her face and started kissing her. It wasn't like a make-out, it was like a friendly kiss, but to the outside eye, it looked otherwise.
Someone cleared their throat in front of us. I let go of Lindsey's face and saw Sirius and Lily towering over us. "Oh hello guys!" I said sweetly, grabbing Lindsey's hand. She looked at me incredulously and I gave her a wink. She nodded slightly at the action and kept a hold on my hand.
"Having fun?" Lily said, trying to cover her frown. I noticed it too and apparently so did Lindsey because she scooted closer to me. Way to play it up Linds!
"Very!" Lindsey said kindly.
"Oh well, yeah, we just wanted to say hi. We will see you later," Lily said quickly.
"Bye." Sirius said quietly as he and Lily walked up the lawn.
Once they were out of sight, Lindsey let go of my hand. "YES! IT IS WORKING!" she said brightly. I gave her a high five and we continued to eat.
