Chapter 14: Lovers Spats
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Andrew and Bree entered the crowded pub, also known as The Three Broomsticks, and sat down in a booth near a window.
"I can't wait for Paris!" Bree said in her French accent.
"Me either. My dads in the process of booking the hotel. He got a great deal from a friend of the family," Andrew sounded excited as well. Bree and Andrew were referring to their Christmas vacation to Paris this winter.
"And it'll be so beautiful during Christmas!" Bree almost fell out of her seat with excitement.
"Not as beautiful as you are," he responded staring into her deep glossy eyes.
"I know," she flipped her hair over her shoulder, "Just kidding, thanks."
"Your welcome," the butterbeers arrived and the conversation carried on smoothly from topic to topic.
"Oh great the Mer-idiots are here," Andrew rolled his eyes.
"I thought you liked the Marauders?" Bree asked.
"Not particularly," he looked away as Sirius and James headed their way.
"Hey mate," Sirius patted Andrew on the back.
"Ahoy," Andrew replied attempting to sound friendly, but instead a ton of sarcasm came out.
"Have you seen Lily?" James asked Bree.
"I saw her out the window about ten minutes ago screaming something like, 'I'm gonna murder you Potter!'" she responded.
"Really?" James sounded worried, "Which way did she go?"
"Towards the castle, I guess," she shrugged.
"I just forgot I have to do this one thing at the castle," James ran out of the bar and towards the school.
"One down, one to go," Andrew muttered.
"Hey Livingston," Sirius directed towards Bree.
"What?" she asked slightly annoyed by the presence of Sirius...did I say slightly? I meant gigantically annoyed.
"I need to talk to you tonight, top secret," he stood up, "Meet me by the fire at midnight."
"Whatever just go back to freakland," Sirius left the bar and after James.
"Are you cheating on me?" Andrew rounded on Bree.
"What? No! Who would I cheat on you with?" she asked sarcastically.
"Who do you think brianiac?"
"What the hell is your problem?" Bree stood up knocking over Andrew's empty bottle.
"All of a sudden you're being all civil and friendly with Black."
"Civil and friendly? If you call that civil and friendly you must live in a pretty harsh world," She responded.
"Bree, stay away from him. He's bad news."
"You have no right to tell me who I should be friends with! I'm not even friends with Black anyway! I don't get along with him, you've seen us we can't be in the same room with each other for more than five minutes with out ripping each others heads off!"
"You were with him when I saw you though," he protested.
"Correction, I was with Lily. Even if I was with Black I wouldn't do anything. It's a simple 'I hate you, you hate me' kind of relationship! Why can't you trust me?" Bree angrily sat down in her seat and placed her head down in her hand.
"I trust you," Bree looked up at him ready to punch the living daylights out of him, "Its Black I don't trust. He likes you. Maybe not your personality yet but he's attracted to you. Everyone is!"
"If everyone likes me then how come your going crazy when Black talks to me?"
"You know Black is out to get every girl in Hogwarts."
"And he's not going to get me," she replied.
"How do you know?"
"Because I TRUST MYSELF!" Bree practically screamed, "If you can't trust me," she stood up and purposely knocked over her butterbeer all over Andrew on her way out, "Then our relationship is a lie."
"Bree! Wait!" Andrew called after her. But Bree kept running faster, ignoring Andrews pleads.

"So do you think Lily's going to get suspicious?" Remus asked Ashley as they left the bar.
"Of course," Ashley responded.
"I guess it wasn't that great of a plan then?" Remus chuckled.
"No, but hopefully Lily wont catch on until they are alone," she answered, "Lily's very stubborn at times. I don't know what caused her to hate James so much. I don't think any of us will ever know."
"Yeah...but you never know, maybe she has a good reason," he shrugged.
"Highly doubt it," Ashley replied, "I know Lily and I think she's afraid."
"Oh, I see. Want to go to Honeydukes?" Remus pointed at the nearing store.
"Love too," Ashley said.
Ashley and Remus spent a happy afternoon together, forgetting if the plan with Lily and James would work or not. They were having too much fun to realize.
"So...how was your summer?" Remus made conversation as they looked at books.
"It was okay," she responded, "Lily and I didn't see much of you guys. Where were you?"
"Peters most of it," he stated, "His parents went out of town and left him with his crazy grandfather who can't even remember his own name. So, we pretty much had a house to ourselves. We spent most of it planning pranks, partying, and eating."
"Sounds like fun," she looked through the window at a book that interested her, "I wish I could do that. It would be awesome! Sometime after we graduate Lily and I want to live together. Riley and Bree might join us, but they love to party so I don't know if we'll ever be able to sleep."
"They're quite a pair, you'd think they were sisters."
"Yeah, I guess so. But their completely different, yet the same. Kind of confusing."
"Yeah, a bit," he replied laughing.
"It's weird how you meet a friend and you never realized that they would be your best friend for the rest of your life," Ashley said.
"Yup, it's amazing how things like that work out. I don't know what I would do with out my friends," Remus replied thinking about his monthly visits to the shrieking shack.
"Yeah..." Ashley was oblivious of what to say next. They talked about nearly everything, "Your such an easy person to talk to, you know that?"
"So I've been told," he laughed lightly.
Ashley noticed something was bothering him, "Is anything wrong?"
"Just something on my mind. It's this girl I've fancied for a bit now. But she's been dating another guy for awhile."
"That sucks, I say knock the guy out," she laughed.
"If only," he sighed, "Oh, well. Maybe its just a little crush and I'll get over it," he smiled.
"I don't know, crushes are hard to get over. Take James for example."
"James is a bad example," Remus laughed, "He's never given up on Lily."
"Does he really like her, or is it just a crush?" Ashley wondered.
"I think he really likes her. I can't get to bloody sleep at night. She's all he talks about, seriously," he laughed.
"Its crazy," she said, "You know the effect people have on you."
"Believe me, I know," he smiled, "Shall we head up?" he suggested.
"Sure, go on without me I'm going to run into this store really quickly." She pointed to the bookstore.
"Alright, thanks for spending the afternoon with me," he waved goodbye.
"No problem, thanks for listening. Hope everything works out with your crush. Just knock her boyfriend's nose off," She joked.
"I wish," he laughed before walking off. Little did Ashley know, Remus was talking about her.
Too bad I'll be murdered if I break Luna's nose. Remus thought before heading up to the castle to find his friends.
~*~
(A/N: Bree's POV)
I kept running ignoring Andrew's cries.
I felt horrible for making such a big deal out of nothing. Actually, it is a big deal...it's a huge deal! If you're in a relationship you should feel trusted and loved! And I'm not feeling that at all. I love Andrew, but I hate him right now and he's really making me mad. He's never acted like this before!
What I love most about Andrew is he never acts jealous when I'm around other guys. Wait, Andrew jealous? Andrew jealous over Sirius? But I don't even like Black and from what I can tell he doesn't like me either! Why do things have to get so complicated during my last year? I'm supposed to be having fun...not solving a boy puzzle.
It's almost time for dinner...but I don't want to go. Instead I think I'm going to go the library. So I entered the library and searched for a book. But was only searching for a book physically, mentally I was becoming worried.
Worried, more like down right paranoid and freaked out! Andrew and I have been together for so long it was almost as if we were inseparable, like one unit that cannot be broken apart.
By the time I grabbed a random book I was kicked out of the library because my stomach was grumbling so loud.
So I left the library and made up my mind. Not only was I going to go to dinner and face Andrew but I was going to talk to him too. I'm not going to suck up and come crawling back to him though, its his turn to be sorry and he needs to clean up his own mess, not me.
"Hello, Mr. Andrew Balmos," I walked up to Andrew who was sitting next to a few of his friends.
"Bree! Can we talk?" he jumped up.
"I guess so," I sounded a bit stuck up, but I'm not giving in.
We walked out into the entry hall and outside onto the nearly dark grounds. I didn't say a thing, Andrew is going to be first to speak.
Whenever Andrew and I have an argument I'm always the first one to apologize. It makes me feel weak and as if I need him in my life. I want him in my life, and I feel like I need him in my life, but my world doesn't depend on him. I'm confusing myself...
"Bree, about earlier..." he started.
"Yes?"
"Well..."
I gave him an impatient look. C'mon don't you know how to say sorry!?
"I'm sorry," he took my hand and traced the lines on my palm.
"Apology accepted, it you promise to be more trusting."
"I will don't worry," he seemed relieved. Maybe he cares a lot more than I thought.
"Alright, I won't worry."
I'm just a LIAR! Of course I'm going to worry! I'm going to worry so much it'll drive me crazy. I just hope he doesn't start acting jealous all the time...
~*~ (A/N: No POV)
After dinner Lily, Ashley, Bree, and Riley decided to get some work done. But the only one who was actually working was Lily. Bree was sleeping and using her barely started Potions essay as a pillow, Ashley was doodling on a spare piece of parchment while staring off in space, and Riley was flirting with another Gryfinndor seventh year by the name of Colin Walton.
"Why aren't you guys working?" Lily asked as she looked up from her finished Transfiguration homework.
"Hmmwhat?" Ashley asked coming back to reality.
"Are you done with your homework?" she repeated herself.
"Homework? What homework?" Ashley replied while crumbling up her paper and throwing it at Bree's head.
"What was that for?" Bree asked rubbing her head.
"I don't know, had to wake you up somehow," Ashley shrugged.
"How are you guys going to pass this year? You'll fall asleep after five minutes of working on an essay!" Lily exclaimed.
"Alright Lil, we'll do better," Riley said turning away from Colin.
"Yeah," Bree agreed, "And we can start doing better now. So how about you let me copy your Potions essay?"
"NO!" Lily pulled her essay away from Bree's reach.
"Why not!?" she whined.
"Didn't you hear a word I just said before?" Lily asked.
"Kinda...just please Lil? I didn't expect any of the teachers to give us even an inch of homework. I wasn't listening because I thought they were lecturing us!" Bree protested.
"This teaches you to pay attention in classes more," Lily put the homework in her book bag, "Now maybe you'll get more sleep at night, than in class and start listening."
"Doubt it," Ashley muttered. They all laughed and Lily was clueless as to what they said.
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes at the three who couldn't stop laughing, "I'm going to bed. And if you don't plan on falling asleep in class on Monday I recommend you sleep too."
"It's Saturday and it's only ten o'clock!" Bree exclaimed.
"I'm beat...I'm going to bed," she replied heading up the stairs, "Ash? Rye? Are you coming?"
"I am," Ashley replied heading up the stairs with Lily.
"I'm going to stay up for a bit longer," Riley waved to Ashley and Lily before they disappeared. (A/N: Lily's old bed is still up in her old dorm so sometimes when she is working late she just stays in her old dorm.)
"So..." Bree stared at Riley, "Did you finish you Potions essay?"
"Nope...I think I'll do it tomorrow night," she replied.
"I don't want homework tomorrow but I just don't understand this paper," Bree sighed, "Maybe I'll wait for Lily to fall asleep then go and get her paper to copy a bit."
"I didn't hear that," Riley covered her ears.
"Good," Bree smiled as she put her papers aside, "Dang, people sure go to sleep early around here," Bree glanced around the room to see who was still awake. Only a few people were, and they were either reading or packing up their stuff to go upstairs.
"Yeah, I think we're always the last ones in here at night," Riley laughed.
"Yeah... I think we developed insomnia," Bree laughed.
"I think you have to be born with that," Riley replied.
"Then we were born with it," Bree said, "Remember that one time when we stayed up all day, all night, and all day the next day?"
"Yeah, and you feel asleep in your cereal bowl," Riley laughed remembering.
"Yeah, mum was furious after she found out we stayed up all night," Bree said.
"Then we weren't allowed to stay the night at each others house. Then in the middle of the night you snuck out your window and through mine?"
"Then your mum found us on the kitchen floor with food everywhere, sleeping," Bree giggled.
"Those were the days. I remember my mom and dad yelling about responsibility and not allowing people to sneak through my window," Riley sighed happily.
"My dad suggested grounding me from staying the nights at friends houses and my mom said I would just sneak through the window again," Bree said, "'She has your rebellious personality, which makes her your kid!'" Bree imitated her mother, "They got in this huge argument over whose kid I am and whose personality I have. I left the room and they didn't even realize it!"
"My dad went to the store the next day to look for a screen for my window. But he came home without one. I think he knew we would find a way to do it again so there was no point. Besides, we were safe. Not like we went somewhere we were supposed to be," Riley replied.
"Yeah. That was tons of fun," Bree smiled happily.
"So..." Riley changed the subject, "How was Hogsmede? It was pretty fun for me."
"Horrible," Bree rubbed her eyes thinking about the day before.
"What happened?" Riley asked concerned.
"Well Andrew and I got in a fight," she said, "After you left, Sirius and I left to leave Lily and James alone. We went to Zonko's and hung around there for a bit. Then Lily and James came and we all left."
"Then what?" Riley asked knowing there was more to the story.
"I met up with Andrew and we went to The Three Broomsticks. Well, we were there for a bit talking about Paris and such when the Marauders came in. Andrew got all jealous because Black asked me to meet him somewhere for some 'top secret' thing he was doing. Andrew got jealous, thought I was cheating on him, and I stormed out." She concluded, "But we made up after dinner and Andrew apologized."
"Wow, Andrew got jealous?" Riley asked surprised.
"That's what I thought," Bree replied.
"So, what was this 'top secret' thing Black wanted to talk to you about?"
"I don't know," Bree answered, "I totally forgot about it. He said to meet him down here at midnight, I expect I won't go."
"Wait, you have to go!" Riley exclaimed.
"Why?"
"Because what if it's important?" Riley answered.
"You can't use Black and important in the same sentence," Bree rolled her eyes at Riley.
"Seriously!"
"Or that word," Bree replied gathering her things.
"Bree, Sirius wants something. One of the main reasons why he doesn't like you is because you're the only girl who turned him down for a date!"
"Thanks, can I have a trophy?" Bree said sarcastically, "Anyway, that was like seven years ago."
"So? You know him and Potter; they want to go out with every girl in the school! And everyone knows you're the only one who will reject them."
"Lily has," Bree pointed out.
"That's different," Riley waved her hands as if erasing what Bree said.
"I'm not meeting him," Bree replied lying down on the couch.
"Oh, yes you are!"
"Riley, why is this so important to you?" Bree asked suspiciously.
"I want to know what he wants!" Rye kneeled down by Bree on the couch, "If you go I'll finish your Potions essay."
"Well..." Bree thought, "It is hard."
"Please?"
"Okay, but I'm only doing it so I don't have to do my essay."
"Yes!" Riley jumped up happily.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Bree rolled her eyes, "You better head up; he should be down here in a bit."
"Alright! Give me the details in the morning!" Riley gathered hers and Bree's stuff and headed up the staircase to bed.
"Joy, I can't believed I agreed to her," Bree lay down on the couch trying to keep herself awake, but that was impossible.

Bree imitated her mother, "They got in this huge argument over whose kid I am and whose personality I have. I left the room and they didn't even realize it!"
"My dad went to the store the next day to look for a screen for my window. But he came home without one. I think he knew we would find a way to do it again so there was no point. Besides, we were safe. Not like we went somewhere we were supposed to be," Riley replied.
"Yeah. That was tons of fun," Bree smiled happily.
"So..." Riley changed the subject, "How was Hogsmede? It was pretty fun for me."
"Horrible," Bree rubbed her eyes thinking about the day before.
"What happened?" Riley asked concerned.
"Well Andrew and I got in a fight," she said, "After you left, Sirius and I left to leave Lily and James alone. We went to Zonko's and hung around there for a bit. Then Lily and James came and we all left."
"Then what?" Riley asked knowing there was more to the story.
"I met up with Andrew and we went to The Three Broomsticks. Well, we were there for a bit talking about Paris and such when the Marauders came in. Andrew got all jealous because Black asked me to meet him somewhere for some 'top secret' thing he was doing. Andrew got jealous, thought I was cheating on him, and I stormed out." She concluded, "But we made up after dinner and Andrew apologized."
"Wow, Andrew got jealous?" Riley asked surprised.
"That's what I thought," Bree replied.
"So, what was this 'top secret' thing Black wanted to talk to you about?"
"I don't know," Bree answered, "I totally forgot about it. He said to meet him down here at midnight, I expect I won't go."
"Wait, you have to go!" Riley exclaimed.
"Why?"
"Because what if it's important?" Riley answered.
"You can't use Black and important in the same sentence," Bree rolled her eyes at Riley.
"Seriously!"
"Or that word," Bree replied gathering her things.
"Bree, Sirius wants something. One of the main reasons why he doesn't like you is because you're the only girl who turned him down for a date!"
"Thanks, can I have a trophy?" Bree said sarcastically, "Anyway, that was like seven years ago."
"So? You know him and Potter; they want to go out with every girl in the school! And everyone knows you're the only one who will reject them."
"Lily has," Bree pointed out.
"That's different," Riley waved her hands as if erasing what Bree said.
"I'm not meeting him," Bree replied lying down on the couch.
"Oh, yes you are!"
"Riley, why is this so important to you?" Bree asked suspiciously.
"I want to know what he wants!" Rye kneeled down by Bree on the couch, "If you go I'll finish your Potions essay."
"Well..." Bree thought, "It is hard."
"Please?"
"Okay, but I'm only doing it so I don't have to do my essay."
"Yes!" Riley jumped up happily.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Bree rolled her eyes, "You better head up; he should be down here in a bit."
"Alright! Give me the details in the morning!" Riley gathered hers and Bree's stuff and headed up the staircase to bed.
"Joy, I can't believed I agreed to her," Bree lay down on the couch trying to keep herself awake, but that was impossible.
