Chapter 38: Friends First
Lily never would've thought that things could've gone worse that day. She was late to two classes, forgot her homework, spilled ink all over her robes, and even broke a pot in herbology. And it was only lunch time.
Lily sat down next to Ashley who immediately got up in a huff muttering angrily under her breath. Lily decided not to bother with any of her friends today, seeing as all of them were in a bad mood. So instead she went about eating her lunch alone. That was until it seemed like all of Hogwarts started to bug her.
Three people had already come by and Lily shooed them off quickly. And to top it all off the Marauders were starting to enter the Great Hall randomly.
"Hey, Lil," Remus said sitting down next to her, "Can I talk to you?"
Lily sighed but put her book down, "You're looking better."
"Thanks," he smiled, "I need to talk to you about-"
"Ashley?" she asked before he could, "And why she's so mad? Distant? Annoyed? Angry? Cranky?"
"Er, yeah," Remus stated, "Do you know what's wrong?"
"Well, for one thing, she thinks your cheating on her. Well, not cheating but she definitely suspects something." Lily explained, "But I wouldn't take it personally, she's being quite a snob today."
"Really?" Remus asked rubbing his chin, "Then now wouldn't be a good time to tell her about me?"
Lily sighed as she took a drink from her goblet, "I personally wouldn't. But if you fancy to, be my guest."
"Right," Remus said getting up and Sirius and James sat down.
"Good morning, Lily dear!" James said sitting across from her.
"Potter," Lily said not looking up from her book, "What brings you two here?"
"No seats left." Sirius shrugged.
Lily looked down the Gryfinndor table then looked at the two oddly. Not even half of the table was filled with students.
"So, I hear you and your friends are spatting?" James asked.
"Spatting?" Lily asked raising her eyebrow, "We have nothing to argue about."
"Why of course you are!" Sirius said happily, "Bree is being a downright hag today…more of a hag than any other day!"
Lily glared at The Marauders and continued to read her book.
"Speaking of my hag," Sirius said looking up, "Where is she? I need to talk to her."
"No idea," Lily replied.
"I'm going to go find her." Sirius said standing up and leaving the table, "See you guys later."
"So, Lillian," James said grinning, "Patrol tonight?"
"Yeah," Lily sighed, getting up, "See you then."
…
Sirius kept missing Bree the whole day and was starting to wonder where she was.
Not that he cared. They were just friends right now. Well, fake friends.
So after realizing that Bree was not at dinner Sirius left the Great Hall in search for her. He walked down the halls singing one of his own tunes quietly, "Bree is a hag and I need a good shag because she's….she's a…hag!" Sirius smiled at his wonderful rhyming abilities and continued heading up towards the common room where he hoped Bree was.
As he rounded the corner he saw the familiar blonde sitting by the fireplace next to…Bethany?
Well, maybe this is good, he thought to himself, thenBethany will get jealous and leave me alone.
"Hello ladies," Sirius smiled coming up next to them.
"Sirius," Bree nodded her head.
"Hey, Sirius," Bethany smiled happily, "I was just talking to Bree."
"I see that," He smiled and grabbed her hand and pulling her up from the couch, "Look, I'm sorry for taking her away but I need to have a quick word with her."
"Really?" Bethany said looking at their entangled hands, "I guess the rumors are true? About you two dating?"
"Yes, true indeed," Sirius said putting his arm around Bree's shoulder.
"Yes, wonderful." Bree smirked at Sirius.
"Well," Bethany said grabbing her bag and sounding a bit offended, "I have work to do, good day."
"Bye," Sirius said waving as he led Bree out of the common room. Once out of everyone's site Sirius immediately removed his arm and put them in his pocket, "Where the hell have you been all day?"
"Avoiding you," she glared and crossed her arms over her chest, "I had a lot of work to do."
"Yeah, well you just about blew our cover." Sirius snapped.
"Blew our cover? How?" Bree asked.
"Everyone knows that I'm always with my girlfriend." Sirius replied, "Which means you always need to be next to me."
Bree stared at Sirius offended, "Why should I hang off your shoulder!?"
Sirius covered Bree's mouth when he heard footsteps rounding the corner and he grabbed Bree's waist and pulled her into the nearby broom closet. They stayed quiet for awhile and let the slow footsteps pass by their door.
"This is stupid." Bree sighed, sitting down on a bucket, "There is no way I'm hanging off your arm like another one of those idiots you've dated before."
"You have no idea how insane I'm going." Sirius said irritated, "I haven't kissed a girl in like three days!"
Bree laughed as Sirius sat down next to her, "Aw, poor Sirius!"
"It's not funny!" Sirius exclaimed, "And we don't even look like we're dating because you'll only let me touch your hand!"
"Ew, where else do you want to touch?" Bree asked sounding disgusted, "Listen Black, I know we aren't doing very good at this but we need to keep it up. Andrew still hasn't said anything!"
"So what are we going to do about this?" Sirius asked, "Are you going to the dance with me?"
"Oh, I haven't thought about that," Bree said hitting her forehead, "Well, I guess I have no choice."
"Yeah," Sirius sighed, "So we're going to the dance together and we're going to try to make our relationship look more convincible?"
"Yeah," Bree said staring at Sirius.
"So why can't we snog right now?" Sirius asked, "I don't care if we hate each other! I have no one to snog!"
Bree glared at Sirius, "How in the world are we going to snog in public? It would be so awkward."
"Yeah," Sirius said rubbing his chin, "Which is why we should start now."
Sirius quickly leaned over and tried to plant his lips on Bree's. Bree frowned and pushed Sirius away.
"Livingston!" Sirius cried, "I need a snog-"
"Shh!" Bree said hitting Sirius, "Someone is coming."
Bree and Sirius listened quietly to the approached footsteps.
"Who's there?" Sirius asked.
"Shut up!" Bree hissed as they heard Lily and James' voices.
"They're out on patrol," Bree replied, "We should probably get back to the common room because I don't want them to get any ideas if they found us."
"What kind of ideas would they get?" Sirius asked heading towards the door and swinging it open, "Ideas that we're dating?"
"Sirius, wait!" Bree said quietly, but it was too late Sirius was already out of the broom closet.
"Are you coming, Livingston?" Sirius asked, sticking his head back into the broom closet.
"You stupid brute!" Bree said coming out of the closet, "You were supposed to wait until they were-"
"Gone?" Lily asked as her and James rounded the corner.
"Well, what do we have here?" James grinned as he stared from Bree to Sirius, "You two are out a little late…and in a broom closet?"
Bree glared at Sirius, "We were just going back up to the common room, right now."
"Yeah," Sirius grinned swinging his arm around Bree's shoulders, "She's a feisty one when she doesn't get her sleep! And even though I love feisty ones, Bree does need her beauty sleep."
"Yes," Bree agreed and started walking away, "See you two later."
Bree and Sirius walked towards the end of the hall with Sirius arm around her shoulder still until they turned the corner and Sirius took his arm away and they walked on opposite ends.
"That was…odd." Lily raised her eyebrows.
"What's so odd about it?" James asked as they walked down the corridors to finish their patrolling.
"I don't know," Lily replied, "I just think its odd how they could change in one day from hating to liking."
"You don't believe in change?" James asked putting his hands in his pockets.
"I believe in the time changing and stuff like that," she shrugged, "But I don't think you can change what you think about someone in one day."
"Do you think you could change your mind about someone over a period of time?" James asked stopping.
"Well," she shrugged, knowing exactly what James was talking about, "I don't know."
"Lil-"
"Don't bother, James." She stared, "I already know what your going to talk about."
"How do you know?" he asked.
"It's always the same." She replied, "'Why can't we be friends?' 'Why won't you give me a chance?' 'When will you go out with me?' "
"Well, why can't we be friends?" he asked, "You certainly need a friend right now because all of yours are mad at you!"
"Friends?" she asked, "I don't know, you just seem to always get on my bad side. And my friends aren't mad at me!"
James rolled his eyes then said, "Because I'm always trying to get you to like me and things always go wrong!"
"Then don't try to make me like you." She replied.
"If we were friends I would have to try to make you like me." James scowled.
"If we were friends," Lily sighed, "Then will you stop asking me out and stop bugging me?"
"Yes," James nodded, but seemed sad, "Just friends because you need more friends."
"I have plenty of friends!"
"But you don't have plenty of friends like me," James smirked, "Besides, you can never have too many friends."
"Fine," Lily sigh, "Then I'll try to be your friend."
James smiled, "Well, then, friend Lily, shall we finish patrolling?"
Lily smiled, "Sure."
