Chapter 7: Confessions

The next morning I woke up with a headache. Then thoughts of the previous night came flooding back into my mind and the headache got worse.

I lied back down on my feathery pillow and tried to fall back asleep when I heard talking in the kitchen and I smelled bacon.

I jumped out of bed and followed the delicious scent into the kitchen where I saw Bree and Sirius. They were standing at the stove with their backs facing me. Sirius stood in his flowery apron and poked at the bacon, trying to make it look like he was doing some serious cooking as they talked.

"So did you talk to her about what happened last night?" Sirius asked.

"No, we got inside and she just went straight to bed." Bree shrugged.

"Prongs seemed happy that the date went well." Sirius replied, "But I knew something was wrong."

"Yeah," she nodded, "I figured something was fishy when we saw Jacque last night."

"I hate that guy." Sirius shook his head, "Right when Lily finally starts to accept James, he gets in the way."

"I agree." Bree said turning off the burners and taking some plates out of the cupboard, "So how's Remus?"

I headed back to my room when I realized their conversation was going no where.

So they were trying to figure out what went wrong? I decided I might as well brush my teeth while I was hiding out in the bathroom. Once I was finished I put on my best sleepy face and went back into the kitchen.

"Morning." I yawned.

"Good morning!" they both replied casually.

"If you want some bacon, eggs, or toast, there is some left on the stove." Bree said pointing to the food.

"Okay, thanks." I replied grabbing a plate.

Once I got some food I sat down next to Sirius at the kitchen table.

"So…" Bree started, "What are you both up to today?"

Sirius shrugged, "I premised Prongs I'd go to Diagon Alley with him today to pick up some stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" Bree questioned.

Sirius grinned, "Illegal stuff."

"Sirius Black." Bree scolded, putting her fork neatly on her plate, "If I find out you are purchasing illegal stuff I will be very angry."

"So sorry [I]mum[/I]." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"So what are you doing, Lil?" Bree asked, ignoring Sirius.

"I have the day off." I replied, "Maybe we can get some Christmas shopping done?"

"Sounds great!" Bree exclaimed.

Sirius looked at us both oddly, "Christmas shopping? It's not even December yet."

Bree rolled her eyes, "If we wait then we will be stuck in Christmas rush."

"You two are crazy." Sirius said putting the empty plates in the sink. He waved his wand and the plates started to wash themselves.

"That's okay." Bree grinned.

"Yeah, I guess." Sirius replied hugging Bree, "I'm going to go. I'll see you later."

"Bye, hun." Bree smiled and kissed Sirius.

"See ya, Lil." Sirius kissed me on the cheek.

"Bye." I replied.

"So," Bree started after Sirius apperated out, "What time do you want to leave?"

"Let me go get ready." I replied heading to my bathroom.

Bree and I piled into her small car and headed towards the mall. We put the top up and turned on the heater since it was a pretty chilly November day.

As I looked out the window I immediately sensed the Christmas spirit approaching. Snow had already started to fall and form a thin white blanket over the town, people were acting extra cheery, and the stores were already stocking up with supplies. We pulled into the mall's parking lot and hurried into the warm stores.

"How about this one?" Bree asked holding up a black cozy looking sweater.

"For the hundredth time, Bree," I replied, "We are shopping for [I]other[/I] people, not ourselves!"

"I just can't help it." She replied putting the sweater back on the rack, "They have so many sales on the things I want."

"I know." I sighed looking at the sweater, "It is a nice sweater."

"I agree!" Bree replied grabbing her size, "Which is why I should get it."

After trying on all the clothes we picked out for ourselves, we decided we better get some shopping done for other people. So we purchased our items and headed to the next store.

"Do you think Remus will like this?" Bree asked holding up a shirt.

"Yeah." I replied, "It's definitely something he would wear."

"Good." Bree said putting the shirt in her overloaded cart, "Speaking of Remus, what happened last night that got you in tears?"

I looked at Bree oddly, "Where did that come from?"

"Cheese and rice, Lil!" she exclaimed, "I'm not supposed to ask what happened, you're just supposed to tell me!"

"Sorry," I rolled my eyes, "I must've missed that rule."

Bree rolled her eyes back, "Well? Are you going to tell me or do I have to hex you?"

"Fine," I sighed and started to tell the story, "Dinner was great, I guess it started when we got to the movie theater…"

"…so he just showed up there?" Sirius asked looking at James.

"Yeah, he was acting like a big arse." James sighed, "Lily didn't look very happy. Then I took her home and when I was saying good night I noticed his car sitting in the parking lot."

"Did Lily see it?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know," James answered, "But I think so because she kept looking around and seemed as if she wanted to go inside."

"Did Jacque leave?" Sirius questioned.

"I don't know," I replied, "I left before he did."

"Why did you leave with him there!?" Sirius sat up, surprised.

"What was I supposed to do?" James exclaimed, "Insist that I need to protect her and risk her getting mad at me?"

"Bloody hell yes!" Sirius replied, "I saw Jacque when I was dropping Bree off at her apartment."

"You did? Where was he?"

"Talking to Lily." Sirius replied.

"What!?"

"Yeah, and she looked really upset. Bree suggested that she should go inside and that was it." Sirius said, "I wanted to have a little word with Cartier (A/N: Sorry if that is not how you spell Jacques last name; I don't have the full story with me on the road so I had to guess.) but Bree gave me the 'Get home now' look so there was nothing I could do."

"You should've smashed his face!" James jumped up.

"And ruin my relationship?" Sirius said, "No way. This is Lily's life and I'm not butting in."

"What am I going to do, Padfoot?" James asked sadly.

Sirius shrugged, "Go get another girl."

"So you don't want to date James nor Jacque anymore!?" Bree asked me surprised.

"Right," I replied, "I cause too many problems in both of their lives."

"Lily." Bree sighed, "Jacque is an arse. We all know it! Date James!!"

"Bree," I replied, "I've made up my mind. I can't stand it anymore."

Bree sighed again, "I guess you'll have to find a new guy now."

"Nah," I responded, "I'm sick of guys."

"So what are you going to do? Become a nun?" She chucked.

"That's not a bad idea!" I exclaimed.

Bree's face suddenly went serious, "I was kidding."

"I know." I laughed, "Come on, let's go get some lunch."

November ended and everyone was kicked into December headfirst. Snow was falling hard, causing many traffic jams and everyone was found at the mall on a Saturday at the crack of dawn.

"Bree!" I yelled into our apartment. It was around dinner time on the second of December.

"In the kitchen!" she called, "Attempting to cook!"

"Holy flying dragons, guess what?" I skipped into the kitchen.

"That you stink at making up new sayings?" she rolled her eyes as she flipped a pancake over.

"Sorry, Miss Brilliant." I replied sitting down at the table.

"It's Miss [I]Bloody[/I] Brilliant to you." She said pointing her spatula at me.

"Why are you cooking pancakes at dinnertime?" I asked clueless.

Bree shrugged, "I got a new spatula so I thought I'd try it out."

"Right," I said, a little confused by her weirdness, "Anyway, guess what great news Christie told me today?"

"That you get a new name tag on your desk!" she said, pretending to act surprised.

"No," I glared, "I get to go to France for a couple of weeks for a book tour!"

"Nu uh! Shut up!" Bree said excited, "When are you going?"

"Few days," I replied smiling, "I'll apparate back and visit you whenever I can!"

"Awesome!" Bree said, "God for you!"

"Thanks." I grinned happily, "I'm going to go start packing."

Bree grinned as she started to take her pancakes off the pan, "Okay, but dinnertime in a few minutes!"

"And I see you've been slaving away all day with your new spatula." I grinned, going into the closet to get my suitcases.

"Yes I have," she laughed, "And for your information, his name is Gabe. I told Sirius about him and he got all jealous." Bree shrugged as she put the pancakes and syrup on the table.

"I wonder why?" I asked as I got silverware and drinks for us.

"He's a mystery." Bree sighed, sitting down and piling steaming pancakes onto her plate, "So will you be home for Christmas?"

"Defiantly." I replied, "I'll be back on the twenty second."

"Good, because I've never been alone on Christmas." She laughed.

"I know." Lily replied, "You've never even lived by yourself."

"Neither have you!" Bree said, trying to sound offended, "Promise me that when you become a big famous writer that you wont forget the little people like me."

"I promise." Lily grinned, "As long as you don't suddenly leave because I will be bored and lonely."

"Same here." Bree replied.

"You know, we cant live without one another?" Lily started, "I would seriously go crazy if something happened to you."

"Me too." Bree replied, "Promise me we'll die together."

"I promise." Lily smiled.

"Good." Bree said sounding serious.
