Chapter 14 – Lily returning to Hogwarts
The five days between the news of Josh and Lily becoming an item and lily coming home to Hogwarts passed quickly for everyone except Lily and James of course. James spent the five days staring at walls and barely eating anything. Sirius couldn't remember the last time he had seen James smile. Sirius and Remus tried to cheer up James. Michelle and Becka tried also but James always gave them glares that could kill if they came within a few feet of him.
Lily had spent her days pretty happy. She had spent most of her time with Josh, but all she could think about was the emptiness in James' eyes. She couldn't get that look out of her mind. The place she had once loved to go to, Hogwarts, she was now dreading returning; she was afraid of what James, Sirius and Remus would do to her.

(Lily leaving the hospital)
It was Lily's discharge day at the hospital. She said her goodbyes to everyone. She had enjoyed her experience there. Everyone had been so nice, especially Josh. She kissed Josh goodbye on the cheek.
"Hey, what about me?" asked Drake, teasing.
Lily punched him in the shoulder playfully and gave Drake a hug. He had been quite nice to her while she was here. She had become good friends with him and she made him promise to keep in touch with her. She had given him her email so that they could stay in touch when Lily was at home.
Lily had also come very fond of Diana. Once you got passed her tough, hard-core outer shell, Diana was just like anyone else, gentle and kind. Lily and Diana had become pretty good of friends. Diana had made lily promise to stay in touch.
Lily then turned to Diana, "I'm going to miss you so much Diana!" Lily said throwing her arms around the younger girl.
"You have to promise you will email me," Diana said hugging Lily back.
"Of course I will silly," Lily said and gave Diana a big smile.
"Well I should probably be going now," Lily said and picked up her luggage and left the room down the hallway, waving bye on her way.
Bernice gave lily a nasty look as lily left. Lily never really like Bernice, the lady was always really strange.
Lily left the hospital and walked into an alleyway. She then aparated back to Hogwarts. She arrived at the entrance hallways and sighed; she was glad to be back, but she was also afraid.
Lily heard footsteps and was afraid they belonged to James, but then she heard Becka and Michelle screaming her name.
"Becka! Michelle! I have missed you guys," Lily screamed as she turned around, dropped her things and ran down the hallway towards them.
The three girls flung themselves into a large hug.
"We missed you so much Lils," Becka exclaimed as they all pulled out of the hug.
Just then Sirius came down the hall and gave Lily a disgusted look. "If it isn't selfish Evans, the little heartbreaker," Sirius growled and then kept on moving with Remus following him.
Remus gave Lily an apologetic look.
Lily then burst into tears; James and Sirius were her friends, but now they hated her. She didn't handle hate well. It hurt a lot because she still liked James, but she also liked Josh and she didn't know whom to pick.
"Lils, what is wrong?" Michelle asked.
"They...hate...m...m...me," Lily stuttered, as she cried.
"Oh lily, they don't hate you," Becka said trying to come up with some lie that would make everything better for Lily. Lily didn't deserve this not after she had just gotten out of the hospital.
"Yes they do! They hate me! Did you see the way Sirius looked at me?" Lily whimpered.
"Lily, it is ok. You still have us and no one is going to take that away," Michelle said pulling Lily into another hug.
Becka and Michelle picked up Lily's things and led lily back to her head girl dormitory.

(James)
James had been sitting on his bed for about the last few hours. Dumbledore had called classes off because Lily was returning to Hogwarts today. James hadn't been able to get Lily out of his mind. Everything seemed empty and useless. Sirius had been so nice to him about everything lately. James really needed a friend and even though Sirius was far from serious he could still be a great friend when you needed him. Sirius was like a brother to James.
James continued to stare at the wall, but his staring was interrupted by a knock on his bedroom door.
"Mate, can I come in?" James heard Sirius ask.
"Yeah Padfoot, you know the password," James answered dully.
"Marauder," James heard Sirius say and James' bedroom door flung open.
"Mate, get off your depressed, pathetic arse! Lily is back; do you really want her to see you moping around," Sirius said looking over at James.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT EVANS DOES! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" James screamed.
"James, mate, calm down," Sirius said completely freaked out now.
"GET OUT SIRIUS! RIGHT NOW!" James screamed again.
"Ok I'm leaving," Sirius said and walked out the door. Sirius really hated lily now; James didn't even want to spend time with his best mate because lily had made James so upset.
Just then Lily walked in, her face covered in tears, with Michelle and Becka on either side of her.
As soon as Michelle saw Sirius, no one could stop her from telling him off. "SIRIUS BLACK, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING SPEAKING TO LILY LIKE THAT? YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW OR I WILL CURSE YOU AND NEVER SPEAK TO YOU AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR ME BLACK?" Michelle screamed. No one had ever seen her this angry before.
Sirius was too upset already to care that Michelle was angry with him. So he screamed back, "I WAS GIVING EVANS WHAT SHE DESERVED. HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT JAMES DOES THE LAST FEW DAYS? PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE ALL HE DOES IS LIE IN BED AND STARE AT THE WALL. HE DOESN'T EVEN WANT ME AROUND ANYMORE. JAMES POTTER AND I ARE BEST FRIENDS AND HE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BE AROUND ME. THIS IS ALL EVANS FAULT. I HATE YOU LILY EVANS!" Sirius glared at lily and stalked off out the door.
"There is your proof, James and Sirius hate me," Lily said and stumbled off to her room and muttering, "Head boy is an annoying prat."
They door swung open, Lily walked into her room, shut the door behind her and then flung herself down on the bed and cried her eyes out. She wished Josh were here, but then she also wished she had never met Josh before.

Author's note – Thank you to all the people who are reading my story and if you are reading my story please review so that I know what you think of my story. Now for review thanks:
Lilred-07 – I am glad you liked the chapter. It makes me feel good that I don't completely suck at writing.
g.c. smores – I am glad you liked the poem. Lately I have gotten quite into poetry. It is very easy for me to express myself that way. Now English has become my favorite class because we are doing poetry. I used to hate English. I am glad that my poem touched your heart. It made me feel good that I could do something like that with my writing. I am amazed you thought it was good because I was forced to write it in five quick minutes and then read it in front of the class. I am not a presenter person so I got the girl next to me to read it. Lol. Yes I know lily was insensitive like that, but I wanted to give the story a strange twist because usually it is the guy who breaks the girl's heart so I thought it would be interesting if the tables turned and Lily hurt James. Don't worry they will be together in the end and Josh will be out of the picture.
-Heh heh me
