Anthony had been looking everywhere for Lily and when he saw her, very calmly and patiently walking out of an alley, he was not thrilled.
"Where have you been?!" Anthony demanded.
"With those guys," Lily shrugged, confused why he was so upset.
"This whole time?" Anthony asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, they just wanted to talk to me," Lily explained.
"Well don't talk to them again," Anthony ordered as Lucius and Severus returned.
"So you found her," said Severus.
"Talk to who?" Lucius asked.
"Potter, Black, and Lupin," Anthony replied disgustedly.
"Why would you want to talk to them?" Severus asked, his lip curving into a sneer.
"Being my boyfriend or friends does not give you the right to tell me who I can and can not associate with," Lily said, her voice tight and crisp.
"Lily, they are my enemies! You can not talk to them. I forbid it!" Anthony demanded.
"Nice move, idiot," Lucius muttered. "Even I have more sense than that."
"You forbid it? You have no power over me. None!" Lily screamed.
"Yes, I do," Anthony said smugly. "I have our deal. This doesn't seem friendly to me."
"Ah, but there was nothing in there that said I couldn't have friends," Lily said.
"Severus and Lucius can be your friends," Anthony said.
"No offense, but I need other friends, too," Lily pointed out.
"I don't know about you, but I feel loved," Lucius whispered to Severus.
"I don't care who you are friends with, as long as they aren't them," Anthony shouted.
"That's it," Lily said. "I have to go meet James, Sirius, and Remus. I'll talk to you later, maybe."
