Making It Better

God, he hoped Mike was ok. At quidditch practice today Mike took a nasty fall off his broom, and even though they were able to fix both his broken arms and a leg in the hospital wing fairly quickly he took a bad bump to the head and the nurse told him he was probably out for the season. And that wasn't good. Mike was one of the best chasers that Hogwarts had seen in years. This was really going to hurt the team too. He was going to have to have try-outs for a new chaser immediately otherwise their chance for the cup would be lost. He was walking back to the common room now determined to just go to bed and forget about the day, but when he entered he saw Lily there. She looked to be working on Transfiguration, god she was pretty. She was looking at the book so intently, it was kind of cute. He thought with a grin. He decided to just leave her where she was but then all of a sudden she lifted her head and looked at him, with those big green eyes or hers.

"Hey." She said looking at him

"Hi." He replied back. "What are you working on?" He said standing right where he was afraid that if he moved to close to fast she would run.

"Oh." She said touching her book, "Transfiguration. It's a real bitch. Could you help me?"

"Oh yeah sure." He said with surprise and went to sit by her. "What do you need help with?"

"Oh ummmm" she figured through the book, "Chapter 3." She then set the book on his lap and just leaned back leaving him with the book and she just started at him. He looked back at her in her relaxed position and smiled at her.

"What are you doing?" he said with a slight laugh.

"Looking at you." She said

"Oh, do I have a boogie."

"No." she then raised back up and gave him a gentle kiss.

"Lily I love you. And I've missed you." James said in an aching voice reaching for her.

"I've missed you too. I'm sorry that I haven't talked to you. But I've realized that this bet is done and over with." She replied. He kissed her again and she smiled at him and snuggled into him.

"Ummmm this feels good." She said with a lazy smile

"Yeah and right." He said squeezing her tighter to him.

"So how was your day today?" she asked him forgetting about the last couple of days.

"Oh my god. Mike feel off his broom." He said throwing his head back and closing his eyes trying not to think about the situation.

"OH NO! Is he ok?" Lily asked sitting up and looking at him.

"Yeah he'll be fine. He has two broken arms, a broken leg, and a nasty bump on the head." He said then he shook his head, "He'll be out for the season."

"James that is awful I'm sorry."

"Yeah well, we will just have to work harder to get the..."

"Wait." Lily said and stood up to look at him. "Professor Carey."

"What about the headmaster?" James asked confused.

"His granddaughter is coming to go to school here." She replied like it made all the sense in the world.

"Soooooo?" James said

"She is one of the best quidditch players in America!" she said excitedly. "She could be on the team."

"Wait. How do you know that she is going to go to school here? And how do you figure she'll be in Gryffindor?" James asked leaning back on the couch and smiling at her.

"First of all, I'm suppose to help her find her way around when she gets her. Second, all of Professor Carey's daughters went to Gryffindor." Lily said

"But Professor Carey is from America. So why did his daughter's go to school here?"

"Oh I don't know James, maybe because Hogwarts is the best witchcraft and wizardry school ever." She said to him like he was three. Then she laughed, "and because not many witches are alive in America anymore...or they're in hiding because they're still traumatized from the witch trials and the sixties." She said in a rush and then sat down next to him. "See problem solved you have a new chaser." She said looking at him with a big grin. He then kissed her.

"How did I get to have such a smart girlfriend?" he said smiling at her and he tucked her hair behind her ear.

"Just lucky I guess." And she kissed him again.

::Bella Thinking::

What was Remus talking to Rachael about? They had been in that same exact position in the library for over an hour. She had followed Remus to the library hoping to start seducing him into love...but she then figured out a little too late that he was meeting Rachael. God they made her sick. And they were just sitting across from each other talking. Then all of a sudden they both stood up and Rachael went around the table to give Remus a hug and then kissed him on the cheek. She then turned around and walked away. Remus then sat back down and opened the book he had with him and started to read. Maybe she would lap the library and then go talk to him. Gather her thoughts and all.

::Remus Thinking::

Well that was a little too easy. Remus thought to himself. He was waiting for her to throw something at his head...but it didn't happen. He never liked breaking up with a girl...but it was better then stringing her around wasn't it?

"Hey hottie. What you up to?" Bella said and slid into a chair next to him.

"Nothing much was just looking at this book." But he shut it and focused his attention on her. "What you been up to?"

"Oh nothing much I just got here." But she didn't look at him when she said that.

"Interesting" he said grinning at her. He then leaned towards her and kissed her gently on the lips. Bella was so shocked by the move he made she just stood very very still. He then let go of her lips and said. "How you doing."

Bella just gapped at him,

"What did you do that for!" She asked with a slight glare in her eyes.

"Just wanted to kiss you." He sated matter of factly.

"Well you just can't go around..." but he cut her off with another kiss.

"I love you." He said looking her straight in the eyes. And Bella started to cry. Remus just sat there stunned and gathered her into his arms. "Please don't cry I thought that you would be happy." He stuttered and wasn't quite sure if he liked her reaction. She then looked at him with her big blue eyes and said, "I love you too. I'm so so sorry that I'm dating Sirius." She then tried to stand up but he held her down, "No I have to go end this." He then gave a slight laugh and pulled her into his lap. "Honey I already know about your guys little 'game'." She then frowned at him.

"I don't know what your talking about." She lied

"Now now. Lets not start our relationship with lies. Sirius and I had a long talk last night." She started to open her mouth to complain. "No listen. Sirius went along with this little ruse of yours to help get US together. Not to help him and Cassie. He's a good friend Bell to do that for us. Now it's our turn to help him." She nodded her head and kissed him.

"I'll be right back." She then got off his lap and started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" he asked but knew all too well where she was going.

"To make things right." She said
