Lily and James can get themselves out of this mess. If they can . . .

"Sirius, it's not what you think!" James said, just realizing what was going on. "Lily stepped on me and-"
"James that is the lamest excuse ever. She stepped on your foot and you just NEEDED to come back and snuggle with each other?" Sirius countered.
Lily's face was deep red, and she was practically snarling at Sirius. "Sirius, you have a very dirty imagination. I bet you get that ideas from those images of what you'd like to do with Celia, eh?"
James slapped his forehead. "No, Lily, don't get him mad . . ."
Sirius's face was getting redder (apparently he HAD been thinking those very thoughts) and he looked angry. James groaned. It was going to be a chaotic war in about three, two one . . .
"WELL I'M NOT THE ONE WHO WAS DESPERATE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY SLEEP WITH THE GUY I'M SUPPOSED TO HATE!" Sirius roared.
Lily winced back suddenly, her eyes full of hurt and shock. "Well," Lily began, her eyes glistening with newly sprung tears, "I'll have you know that you're the biggest jerk in the world and I don't know what Cel sees in you and I think you should just . . . just eat slugs or something!" Lily ranted on and on.
"Sirius, Lily fainted . . ." James tried to explain, but Sirius's yelling drowned him out.
"WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD JOIN A NEW CLUB; IT'S CALLED SLUTS 'R US! WITH A BACKWARDS 'R'!"
"Sirius . . ." James feebly tried again, but
Lily felt like her head had been split into two. Not only because of Sirius's terrible yelling, which probably already woke up everyone in Gryffindor Tower, but also because James didn't try to defend them. Lily couldn't believe he didn't say anything. It would break his dignity as much as hers! Even Lily didn't really understand how she ended up in James's dorm room. And she was even more hurt that Sirius, though annoying, was someone she usually considered as a friend.
"You know what Sirius?" Lily asked.
"WHAT?" Sirius tends to keep on yelling for a while after he starts once. It comes as a habit when you have arguments with a pure-blood mom and dad who hate Muggles and are trying to convince you of the same thing.
"You really should know who your friends are." With that, Lily got up and walked away.
But not before she said one more thing to James. "Thanks a lot for sticking up for me, and us. This is as much your fight as mine." She said sarcastically.
"But-" James tried to tell her. But as usual, she blocked him out and ignored him. Like she usually did.
James stared at Lily Evans walk out the door with a broken heart.
"-I DID try Lily, I did. It was just STUPID SIRIUS AND HIS LOUD MOUTH SO YOU COULDN'T HEAR ME!" James originally talked to the door, but then he started screaming at Sirius.
James waited until Sirius calmed down, and then realized what he had done.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry James! I didn't know what I was doing!" Sirius apologized.
"Well it's too late now, isn't it?" James said with a haughty fire in his eyes.
"Now you've done it Sirius." said Steven.
"You've got to control that temper!" Remus scolded.
"I'm sorry, okay? Sorry!" Sirius said, "I'll do anything James! Clean your side of the room-not that I can, it's so messy-or get you another date- (Sirius stopped right there because of the dirty look that James sent him) heck, I'd even lick your shoes, Potter, if I have to!"
James knew Sirius all too well. True, he was sincerely sorry, but he also found the whole thing amusing, and the last bit of his apology about licking his shoes were certainly a joke. But Steven and some of the other roommates didn't know that, did they?
James smiled a wicked grin. Oh, you'll pay, Sirius. Even if you are my best friend.
"Ok then, Sirius." James said, "Lick my shoes. Once I put 'em on, of course." James treasured that horrified look on Sirius's face forever. It was so funny! So he put on his shoes and pointed at Sirius, then to his sneakers. "Go on, lick them. You said you'd do anything."
Sirius glared at James. But boys being boys, he couldn't back down otherwise he'd be seen as a chicken.
"Fine," Sirius said reluctantly. Oh, James knew all right. Sirius could tell by the victorious smirk on his face. But then, if he were James, he'd probably do the same thing.
Sirius kneeled on the ground and leaned closer to James's sneakers. As he neared the shoes, he noticed the mud splats and grass stains on it and was revolted. Finally, he licked the tip of his shoe thoroughly, and then spat it all out, his face turning slightly green.
"What the hell is on that thing?" Sirius demanded, still spitting out the taste he couldn't get rid of.
James smiled. "Well at Quidditch practice yesterday, I accidentally stepped on some manure."
It took Sirius a little minute to let that sink in. Then-
"Oh MAN YOU ARE GROSS! THAT'S NASTY, POTTER!" And with that, Sirius ran over to the bathroom as quick as he could.
James was on the floor rolling with laughter. But even with that small bit of revenge, he couldn't get the image of Lily's hurt face and beautiful, green, teary eyes out of his head.

"That JERK! Oh my god, nothing happened. I don't even know how I got there. He had the decency to sleep in a sleeping bag-"
"What's a sleeping bag?" Margaret asked, confused. (She's a pure-blood)
"Portable mattress." Celia explained quickly. "Go on, Lily."
So Lily went on and told them the story as far as she figured out.
"So as far as we're hearing, it's really your date, Todd, to blame, not James." Margaret pointed out.
"No, it's ALL James's fault! Sure, it's Todd's fault too, but Ja-Potter just sat there and didn't even stick up for me! And Sirius! God, I thought he was better than that!" Lily rambled on and on.
"Lily, if Sirius was really yelling that loud, than how could James-" Celia interrupted.
"Never mind that. I've made up my mind. I'm never EVER going to talk to James Potter again if I can help it, and I don't want to hear his name spoken when I'm around, alright?" Lily demanded.
Margaret and Celia had no choice but to give in. "Yeah. Sure."
"Good."
I will never ever talk to James again, Lily tried to condition herself to that fact, I will never dance with him, never hug him, never help him, never ever relive that one, sweet, beautiful, pure moment of their kiss . . .
