My Mistake- Chapter 5
Laila walked down the hall, tears silently falling. She stopped at window, and stared out it. She sighed. She was so stressed out; she didn't know what to do. The threat of Voldemort was rising, and she was muggle born. Bella Black hated her, she was sure that her family was going to get killed, maybe even her. On top of that Remus Lupin was her boyfriend. Sure she was happy, but not as she thought. She looked at the full moon and walked back to her dormitory.
"Morning!" Lily said cheerfully.
"What's got you so perky?" Laila asked.
"Nothing." Lily said as she brushed her hair.
Laila smiled. She knew Lily had a crush on James Potter, although Lily denied it. Laila got up and took a shower. She put some make-up on, and left for breakfast.
"Is everyone going to Hogsmead today?" Sirius asked.
"Yes." Laila replied. "We have to go shopping for Christmas presents."
"Okay. Remus goes with Lily, Sirius goes with Laila and I'll go with Peter." James said.
Laila and Sirius walked down Hogsmead. Sirius likes Laila a lot actually. He never said anything in fear of Remus hating him.
"How are things with Remus?" Sirius asked.
"It's uh, fine." She replied, feeling uncomfortable. She liked Sirius, but couldn't brake Remus heart.
"Oh. Just fine?" He asked.
"Yeah, fine." She replied.
They walked further and there was more silence. "So where do you want to go?" Sirius asked.
"Uh. I don't know. Where do you want to go?" She asked.
"I don't know." Sirius said. This is aquard. he thought.
They both started to laugh hard and finally got back to being themselves.
"So, you really like Remus?" He asked.
She paused. "Yeah."
"Oh!You didn't answer right away! You don't!"
"Okay, so I don't." She admited.
"Then why are you going out with him?" He asked.
"I don't want to brae his heart." She said. "And besides, who would go out with me?"
"I would." Sirius said. "Did I just say that?"
Laila smiled. "Really?" She asked, and shoved him playfully.
"Yes." He said. They stopped and turned to each other.
"That's nice to know." She said. Sirius out his arms around her waist adn Laila put hers around his neck. First thing they knew was that they were kissing. Laila backed away.
"Remus-" She said. Sirius nodded in understanding and they kept walking.
"So Remus." Lily started. "What is it 2 months you and Laila have been going out?"
"Yeah." He replied dully.
"Yeah? Thought you would be excited!" She said.
"Yeah but- I don't know I just don't like her as much." He said.
"Alright. I'll admit it Sirius has this thing for her. And frankly, I don't like her anymore. So- I might brake up with her."
They all met back up for Butterbeers at the Three Broomsticks.
It was a bit aquard as Laila was inbetween Sirius and Remus. Lily of coarse, had been sitting next to Sirius and and James.
"Hey Lily will-" James suddenly stopped.
"Will I what?" She asked.
"Uh- go get some more Butterbeer?" He asked, and mentaly kicked himself.
"Sure." Lily smiled and James heart melted.
As Lily was out of sight, James banged his head on the table. muttering, "stupid, stupid me."
Sirius snickered, which earned a kick from Laila. "James? Prongs, you might just hurt youself." Sirius said.
"What is up with those names anyways? Padfoot? Wormtail? It's like pet names!" Laila said.
"That's on a need to know basis." Sirius said.
"And you do not need to know." James said again. Laila rolled her eyes.
"Hey James." Lily said. "James?" She asked, while James was banging his head on the table. He looked up. "Here you go." She said smiling.
"Thanks." He returned the smile.
"I am so stupid." James said when in Zonko's with Sirius and Remus. "All I had to say was, 'Lily will you be my girlfriend?' And I couldn't say that." James said picking up some dungbombs.
"Hey Moony grab some of those!" Sirius yelled. "Listen Prongs, you have a million other girl who would love you. Why Lily?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, we need those." James pointed for Sirius to pick up. "I don't know. She's not just some fan girl. She's different." James shrugged.
"Well, as I see it-" Sirius said pondering through the shop said, "you only like her because she's a challange."
Back in the common room that night, Lily stayed up late. She sat on the couch and started to draw.
"Hey Lils." Sirius said from behind her.
"Why are you up?" She asked. "Nevermind, I don't want to know." Lily said after a moment.
"Very funny." He said sitting down next to her. "Did you happen to know if a friend of yours likes me?" He asked.
"Sirius everyone except me and Laila likes you." She said.
"So, Laila doesn't like me?" He said sadining a bit.
"No, she's in love with you." Sirius face lit up. "Why was James beating himself up today?" She asked.
"Oh, he was going to ask you out." Sirius said standing up.
Lily stopped him and asked, "Why?"
"I don't know what goes on in that head of his. Not like I want to. But I think he sees you as a challange." Sirius said.
Lily's eyes started to tear up and Sirius continued, "He's not capable of loving. He's a player. Please, you thought he loved you? Poor girl." Sirius said and Lily ran up the stairs. "WAIT! LILY!"
"No!"
"Wait. Did you like him?" He asked.
"Does it look like it Black?" She said and dissapeared.
"Black?" He said and shrugged.
"Where were you? Nevermind." James said.
"I was talking to your Lily Flower."Sirius said.
"What did you say?" James asked.
"I said that you see her as a challange. That you wern't capable of loving, and a player." Sirius said.
"Why the hell would you say that?" James screamed.
"It's the truth." Sirius said.
"It's different with her!" James yelled.
"No, that's what you want to think." Sirius said, "Trust me I know."
"No Sirius, you DON'T know! Lily is different! We are different! I WANT to love someone! I don't want just a good snog."
"So you think all I want is a snog or a shag to be happy? That's not it!"
"Well it sure as hell seems like it. Maybe that's why Laila hates you!" James said.
"No she doesn't! Lily said that she's in love with me!"
"Whatever." James said and closed his curtans.
