Chapter 34: Missing James

Hah, stupid title, lol couldn't think of nething.

Disclaimer: NOooooooooooooooo!

"In 1742 the goblins..." Professor Binn's dull voice filled the History of Magi classroom late on Monday afternoon. No seventeen year old was paying attention, many students, even Lily, had their minds full of other things.

"Lily, please stop," Ashley said leaning over and taking the quill out of her hand that she was constantly tapping.

"Sorry," Lily blushed as her foot started to twitch.

"If James is bugging you so much, maybe you should talk to him." Ashley suggested.

"I'm not thinking about James." Lily denied.

Ashley rolled her eyes and was about to finish her letter to Remus when Lily started talking again.

"Why do you think he ditched class?" She asked, "Not that I'd care, because I hate him."

Ashley glanced at the two Marauders sitting a few seats behind (Remus had fallen ill), "I think its quite natural for him to skip class."

"I guess you're right." Lily replied, "He's so mad at me for no reason."

Ashley raised her eyebrows, "Weird, huh?"

"Not weird...just different." Lily replied.

Ashley smiled, "You miss James, don't you?"

"What?" Lily asked tapping her quill again, "Well, sure he's an arse, but he had no right to start that rumor."

"Lil," Ashley started, "Why don't you just talk to him?"

Lily's eyes suddenly lit up and she clutched her mouth and let out a small squeal.

Professor Binn's stopped talking and stared at Lily, "Is there a problem, Miss Evans?"

Lily nodded her head as she released her hand, "I don't feel very well."

"Well, class is ending in about ten minutes and then its dinner." Professor Binn's started, "But would you like someone to escort you to the Hospital Wing?"

Lily shook her head and replied, "I just need a bit of a lye down."

"Alright," Professor Binn's replied, "Just remember there is three parchments due tomorrow on the goblins."

"Yes, sir," Lily nodded as she swung her bag over her shoulder and left the classroom.

Lily searched nearly the whole castle looking for James, but did not come close to finding him. After checking the Gryfinndor common room for the third time, she decided just to head down to dinner, and forget about James until tomorrow.

...

"So I was walking to the loo when Nate came up to me and he started talking." Riley chatted as her and Bree walked down the corridors towards the Great Hall for dinner, "And I was so happy when he asked me to the dance!"

"That's great!" Bree smiled, "We need to get our dress robes this weekend."

"Dress robes?" Riley wrinkled her nose, "Why is it that every year we have to wear those?"

"What do you expect we wear?" Bree asked confused.

"Dresses!" Riley cried, "Long, flowing, beautiful dresses!"

"We're not going to a ball," Bree rolled her eyes; "We're going to a school dance."

"Well," Riley sighed, "I'm going to convince Lily to let us wear dresses."

"You mean, convince Dumbledore?" Bree corrected her.

"Yeah, whatever," Riley waved her hand as they passed a snogging couple.

"Ugh," Bree said, walking past the corner quickly, "You'd think they'd do that where no one could see them."

"I bet those two are hoping no one would see them." Riley said walking slowly, as if trying to make sure she was right about who she saw.

"Why?" Bree asked.

"Because that was Sirius snogging someone." Riley said slowly.

"Ugh, I hate it when he snogs people in public." Bree said, continuing to walk down the corridor, "It's so disgusting!"

"Breanne," Riley said grabbing Bree's arm and stopping her.

"What?" she asked, readjusting her bag.

"That is Iyour/I boyfriend snogging someone else." She explained.

Bree stared at Riley for a second, trying to think of what to say, "Right.."

"Right?" Riley asked surprised, "That's all you have to say about it?"

"I mean," Bree shook her head, "That arse."

"Maybe you should say something to him?" Riley suggested.

"Good idea," Bree smirked, realizing she had an excuse to yell at Sirius, "Let's go."

Riley followed Bree back into the corridor where the two were snogging in the corner. Bree marched right up to Sirius and pulled him apart from the Hufflepuff sixth year.

Sirius, whose back was turned to Bree, turned around, ready to yell at whoever interrupted them, "What?"

"What?" she asked as he turned around and realized who it was, "What are you doing?"

"I was...um kissing her." He shrugged.

"Sirius, can I talk to you alone?" Bree asked, grabbing Sirius by the collar and leading him into an empty classroom.

"What the hell were you doing?" she yelled once the door was closed, "You're the one who thought this whole dating thing would work and now you're off snogging someone else! I knew this wouldn't work out!"

"I didn't mean to!" he cried, "It just, sort of, happened!"

"Happened?" she yelled back, "How can you snog someone while you 'dating' someone else!?"

Sirius sighed as he sat down on an empty desk.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." Bree said sitting down across from him.

Sirius rubbed his eyes, "Yeah...yeah maybe you're right."

"I thought it was working at first, but we're just two completely different people." Bree explained, "We better get to dinner. Everyone is waiting."

"Wait," Sirius said, sitting up, "We can't break up."

"Why not? You just agreed that this isn't working out." Bree stated.

"But what about Andrew and Bethany?" he asked, "Please, just a little bit longer?"

Bree sighed, "Fine. But no more snogging everyone else."

"Well maybe if you snogged me more then I wouldn't have to find other people to snog." Sirius joked as they headed towards the door.

"Ew," Bree glared as they reached the door.

Sirius swung the door open and Riley nearly fell into the room.

"Hi," she blushed, regaining her balance, "I was just going to see if everything was okay between the two of you."

Bree glared, knowing that Riley was listening to everything, "Yeah, we're fine."

"Great," Riley smiled, "Let's get to dinner!"

...

"I tried leaving class to sort out these problems, but he seems to be avoiding me or something because I couldn't find him anywhere." Lily explained her afternoon at dinner to Ashley, "I have no idea where he could be."

"Did you check his room?" She asked, piling potatoes onto her plate.

"Yes," Lily sighed, "Dorm, common room, library, Quidditch pitch, you name it! I looked everywhere."

"Did you try the kitchens?" Ashley suggested.

"Yes," Lily sighed as she saw Bree, Riley, and Sirius enter the Great Hall, "We'll talk more later because Sirius is coming."

"Alright." Ashley said as she began eating her dinner.

"Hey," They said, sitting down next to Ashley and Lily.

"Hi," they both replied.

"Lil?" Riley asked, pouring herself some pumpkin juice, "For the dance, are we allowed to wear dresses? Or do we have to wear dress robes?"

"Um," Lily started, "No one has ever really suggested it."

"Well, I'm going to no matter what." Riley smiled, "Because I don't want to wear a dress robe ever again!"

"I'll ask Dumbledore." Lily agreed, "I'm sure he won't mind."

"Yes!" Riley cried happily, "Because I bought the perfect dress at Hogsmede a few weeks ago!"

"I'm going to head up to the common room," Lily said getting up, "I got a lot of homework."

"See you later!" Riley waved happily.

Ashley sighed once Lily had left the Great Hall, "Do any of you know where James is? Because she's going crazy trying to find him."

"Nope," Bree shrugged.

"Um, I'll be right back," Sirius said standing up, "I have to go get something out of my dorm."
