Chapter 8

Lily woke up the next morning with a headache. Remi had jokingly threw a pillow at her the night before and it had knocked her off her feet and she hit her head pretty hard on the wall behind her.

She had gotten up earlier then usual and actual was up before both her friends. Still in her silk pajamas she took her journal with her to the common room. She wrote about the night before. She wrote every detail of the dance and when James asked her out.

James came down from his room and plopped himself next Lily. "What are you writing about?" James asked looking over her shoulder.

"Last night, and no you can't read it." Lily said pulling her journal out of his view.

"Come on Lil I want to know what you wrote about me." James said reaching for her journal.

"No it might hurt your feelings." Lily said with a giggle. She shut her journal and muttered a spell so a huge lock appeared on it.

James slumped in defeat. "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Sure, but I probably should change." Lily said motioning to her outfit.

James smiled cheekily. "That's fine with me."

"Your bad." Lily said giving James a shove.

She went to her room and dropped her journal off and put on a pair of jeans and a cozy white sweater. When she went back to the common room she found James staring wide eyed at her.

Lily automatically felt self-conscious. "Forget to do my zipper?" Lily asked checking.

James laughed. "No you look great. I was just thinking how much better muggle clothes look on you then our robes for school."

Lily smiled and moved over to James planting a light kiss on James' lips. The two didn't feel like splitting so they didn't. They made their way to the couch situating themselves so Lily was on James' lap.

Lily pulled back for air. "What happened to the walk?" Lily asked giggling a bit.

"We don't have to." James said moving in for another kiss.

"Lets go we can kiss later." Lily said with a wink.

James gave her a grin sneaking in one more kiss. "Sounds good."

They left the common room to go for a walk on the grounds.

*******************************************************************

Sirius woke up with his arm wrapped around someone. He rubbed his eyes confused. He hadn't remembered anyone being there the night before.

"Oh no, I got drunk didn't I! I cheated on Andi and we've only been going out for a couple hours!" Sirius thought.

Once his eyes adjusted fully he found himself looking at the pudgy figure of Eva. "No way! There is no way I cheated on Andi with her!" Sirius screamed.

Eva jumped awake and so did Remus and Peter. "What the heck is going on ?" Peter screamed at the sight of his girlfriend in his best friend in bed.

Sirius rolled off his bed and hid behind Remus. "She's trying to seduce me!" Sirius yelled pointing at Eva.

Eva let out a evil snicker. "In your dreams Black." Sirius shuddered at the thought of her in his dreams. "I guess I picked the wrong bed last night." Eva said shrugging.

"Eww you didn't do anything to me did you?" Sirius said still worried.

"No you git! The girls in my room kicked me out last night because I had too many bean burritos after the ball so I followed some first year into your common room and came in here figuring I could cuddle with my darling boyfriend. I wanted to keep Petey warm." Eva said pinching Peter's cheek.

"How by farting all night?" Sirius said cracking up.

"Shut up Black before I curse you." Eva said scowling.

"Whatever, just get out of here. If McGonagall catches you she won't be happy."

Eva took his advice and gave Peter a sloppy kiss that made both Sirius and Remus cringe and left. Once she left Peter laid down on his bed with a lovesick sigh.

Remus and Sirius just gave him a disgusted look and went to the Great Hall for breakfast.

*********************************************************************

Once Lily and James' short walk ended James went for breakfast and Lily headed back to the common room not very hungry.

She walked in and found Tia laying on the sofa. Lily didn't know what to do so she walked past her pretending she hadn't noticed her. "Lily." Tia called.

That word from her mouth brought back the memories again and she remembered the smile Tia had offered her at the ball last night. She turned slowly to see Tia smiling at her.

"Sit down, please." Tia said sweetly sitting up so Lily had space to sit down.

Lily sat down unsure what Tia wanted. "Yes?" Lily asked worriedly.

"I'm sorry." Tia said simply but with a clear sincerity.

"For what?" Lily said swallowing hard.

"Absolutely everything. For the dance in our fourth year. For almost killing you. For ruining our friendship. For the evil glares. For the rumors. For threatening you. For fighting with you for James. For attacking you." Tia said with tears glistening in her eyes.

Lily was speechless she didn't know what to say. She stared at Tia with her mouth agape. "I miss you Lillers." Tia said letting her tears freely flow down her cheek.

Tears also ran down Lily's face when Tia called her the old nickname she had giving her years ago. Lily pulled Tia into a hug and they both cried and hugged telling each other over and over again that they were sorry.

Andi walked down the stairs slowly, not believing her eyes when she saw Lily and Tia hugging and crying. She heard the two girls repeat over and over "I'm sorry." Andi was infuriated she didn't trust Tia at all . Lily hated Tia, what was happening? Andi went back to her room and jumped in the shower trying to organize her thoughts.

Tia and Lily pulled apart. "We'll talk later alright?" Lily said softly to Tia.

"That would be wonderful." Tia said giving Lily one last hug.

They pulled apart again and Lily went to the Great Hall for breakfast and Tia went to Tray's room to wake him up.

************************************************************************

When Lily got to the Great Hall she sat down next to James and he gave her leg squeeze to show her he was happy she came.

"Change your mind?" James said with some eggs in his mouth.

Lily gave him a disgusted look as some of the eggs fell out of his mouth. "Yeah but I'm going to lose my appetite if more food falls out of your mouth."

James gave laugh after he had swallowed. "What's wrong?" James asked concerned when he saw her cheeks tearstained.

Lily rubbed at her cheeks feeling stupid for not fixing herself up after her talk with Tia. "I'm fine." Lily said trying to show it in her face.

James was going to press her to tell him what happened but was interrupted by Sirius rolling on the floor in laughter.

James picked his friend up off the floor and place him on the bench. "What now you goon?" James said giving Sirius an annoyed look.

"Prongs you missed it, it was great!" Sirius said doubled over in laughter. Which caused him to stick his head in his oatmeal. So he just laughed harder with oatmeal dripping down his face. "Leah Hartman sat next to Remus, she's a first year Gryffindor. He thought it was Remi and turned and kissed her right on the lips. When he pulled away he gave her this horrified look then she pulled him in for another kiss and he couldn't get away from her! That was so amazingly funny." Sirius said finally calming down a bit.

James and Lily laughed and looked over at Remus who seemed to be scared to look over at the first year who had moved down a couple seats after he pushed her away.

Lily stood up and used her napkin to wipe most of the oatmeal that was clumped in Sirius' normally flawless hair. Lily grabbed a piece of toast as she left with James, Sirius, and Remus to go back to the common room.

Remi and Andi had just come down from their room as the four walked in still laughing at Remus. Andi walked over to Sirius about to give him a kiss but pulled back before their lips met. "You smell strongly of oatmeal and what's in your hair?" Andi said holding her nose and pulling back.

"He was laughing at Remus so hard that he did a nose dive into his oatmeal bowl." Lily said laughing still.

"That's funny but gross." Andi said with a laugh as she pushed Sirius to the boys staircase. "You need a shower." She took him to his room and shut him in the bathroom then returned to the common room.

"What did you do that was so funny?" Remi said smiling at Remus who was trying to ignore the question.

"Sorry to say Rem was cheating on you Remi, with a first year." James said laughing at the embarrassed Remus.

"Oh you must explain." Remi said with a fake angry scowl.

Remus dropped his head and mumbled. "I kissed this first year next to me because I thought it was you and when I pulled away she pulled me in for another and I couldn't get her off me."

Remi burst into hyena laughs. "Oh my gosh! That is the funniest thing I ever heard!" Remi said rolling on the floor like Sirius had done earlier.

Remus smiled down at her. "You just shut up." He said good naturally.

Remi got up finally. "Did you enjoy it?" Remi said raising he eyebrows as he smiled.

"Well I like a feisty woman." Remus said with a laugh as Remi gave him a punch. "Too bad she's not quite a woman yet." The two kissed still laughing.

James led Lily to the couch and they sat down and Lily draped her legs casually over his lap. "Are you sure you're ok? Why were you crying earlier?" James said again concerned.

"It was Tia." Lily said giving James a light kiss as he tensed at the mention of her name. "She apologized for everything and last night when we were dancing she gave me this smile, like we were friends. So I cried because I felt like I had my old best friend back. We hugged and then said we'd talk later." Lily said feeling emotional again.

James looked at her confused not expecting that from Tia. "Maybe she changed." James said questionably, not really sure he could believe it. "But don't let her pull you into a trap, it could all be a trick."

Lily scowled. "She wouldn't do that, she has changed."

"How can you be so sure?" James said stroking her hair.

"I know these things James, I can feel it." Lily said giving him a smile. "Well I need a shower, I feel gross."

James gave Lily a kiss and she went to her room skipping. James looked over at Andi who was scowling, she had obviously heard the conversation. He didn't know what to do so he just gave her a smile and went up to his room to wait for Sirius to finish so he could shower.

***********************************************************************

Lily came out of the bathroom feeling good after her long warm shower. She slipped into some sweatpants and a comfy tee.

She jumped a bit when she saw Andi standing next to her. "Jeez Andi, must you sneak up on me like that." Lily said with a giggle.

Lily's smile faded from her face and her good feeling left at the harsh look Andi was sending her. "What did I do?" Lily said almost frightened.

"I can't believe how stupid you are." Andi said stomping over to her own bed and sitting down with a thud.

"Uh thanks Andi, I love you too." Lily said sarcastically sitting across from her on her own bed. "Am I missing something or do you just like randomly telling me that I'm stupid." Lily said anger rising in her voice.

"Don't act like you don't know. You and Tia you git. She says sorry and you automatically forgive her!" Andi screamed getting up and standing over Lily.

"Quit towering over me!" Lily yelled back getting up and backing away from Andi. "Gosh what the heck is wrong with you, you're acting so jealous."

"JEALOUS!" The words slipped off Andi's tongue like venom. "Far from it sweetie, I'm only concerned for you, your acting so blind."

"Don't tell me what how I'm acting, your just scared I'm going to like Tia more than you when we become friends again!" Lily shouted.

"No Lily Marie Evans, I'm concerned about you! She's an evil person she can't change just like that."

"James changed, why can't Tia?" Lily said her lips curling in anger.

"Tia is different for all I know she might be a psycho." Andi said with a sigh losing her edge for just a moment. "Don't you remember just last weekend the girl attacked you and had her friends tie up you beloved Kyle."

Lily huffed. "Your so jealous it makes me sick." Lily's finger tightened around her wand in her pocket at that moment she wanted so bad to curse Andi. "Now get away from me you bastard" The words rolled off Lily's lips dripping with anger.

Andi took in a breath of air and she became cold. Lily had never called her a foul name like that before "You know what Lily I will leave you alone and this time I won't be there to save you from that disturbed friend of yours."

With that Andi turned on her heel and went for the door and headed down the stairs and went and snuggled next to Sirius on the couch. Before she had come he was occupied with trying to rip a string off his boxers but he gave up when she sat down and wrapped his arm around her.

Upstairs Lily let her old temper go loose. She picked up a recent photo of her and Andi that was in a frame on her bedside and threw it on the ground sending glass bits across the room. She picked up the picture and ripped it too shreds and let out an angry bloodcurdling scream before collapsing on her bed.

Andi began to sob uncontrollable into Sirius' robes at the sound of Lily's scream. Sirius was startled by the scream and the tears of his girlfriend. "Andi, babe what's wrong?"

Andi pulled back with her make up running leaving big pulls of black under her eyes. "Me and Lily got in a fight. It was terrible." She stuttered

"I'm sure everything will be alright." Sirius said rubbing Andi's back and holding her tightly.

Andi got her sobs under control and the words she spoke chilled her to the bone. "Not this time Sirius."
