Chapter 12— Problems in Paradise?
Someone placed their hands over Lily's eyes, blocking her view.
"Guess who?" Lily jumped up and turned around.
"Matt!" She gave him a hug.
"Hey, Little One." Matt told her and she grinned at the nick name. "How are you doing?"
"Oh, much better. You?" She replied.
"Alright. Today's my last day though. I'm going out into the real world tomorrow." Matt said.
"Oh, Matt, promise you'll be careful." Lily instructed.
"I'll try, Lily, but you especially know how hard and tough the real world can be. You know what can happen. I know what can happen." Matt reminded her and she nodded.
"I know but just be as careful as you can be." She answered.
"I promise." Matt smiled softly at her. "Hey, what are you doing with your future?"
"I want to be an Auror too. I'm doing it for Jacob. And for me too. I want the strength of knowing I can fight and knowing I can be useful. I want Jacob to look down and see that he would've made a difference but because of some stupid drunk person's fault, he couldn't. So I'm doing it for him." Lily explained.
"That's good, Lily. You're an amazing person. I promise to write as much as I can." Matt told her and she nodded again. He pulled her into a tight hug and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you." He told her, brotherly. Exactly how Jacob did.
"I love you too, Matt."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"What was that all about?" James asked her when she got back into the Heads room.
"What do you mean?" She sat down on her comfy bed. "Matt's like my brother you know that."
"Okay." He sounded unconvinced.
"What's the matter with you? You know I love you James!" Lily started to get annoyed.
"You just told him you love him." James stated. Lily couldn't believe it.
"He's like my brother!" Lily told him.
"But he's not!" James whined.
"He's like that because I DON'T HAVE A BROTHER ANYMORE!" Lily started to shout.
"For the millionth time I know that!" James was really annoyed.
"James, Matt is just like another brother to me. NOTHING more!" She was so annoyed at him.
"How can you be so sure?" James was being a bitch. Lily wanted to hit him, but thought better of it.
"Because I know him well enough! I've known him since I was 9!" She said harshly.
"Fine. Whatever." James said rudely. Lily glared her iciest glare and stomped out of the room. She saw Remus, Shelley, and Sirius staring at her.
"James' accused me of liking Matt as more than a brother." She told them and plopped on the couch next to Shelley and Sirius.
"What?" All three of them said.
"He thinks I do!" Lily said and began crying. "I tried to tell him and he wouldn't believe me!"
Sirius, sitting closet gave her a hug.
"Hey, Prongs had a rough day today. I'm sorry, Lily." She said, and wiped a falling tear from her face. She hugged him again.
"What happened that made his day bad?" Lily asked, once she stopped crying.
"Well, you've had your better days. Today was just one of those miserable days when you want the people that are gone back." He explained and she nodded.
"I don't want to talk to him for a while, though." Lily confessed.
"But Lily you know that it will make things worse." Remus added.
"Yeah but I never did that to him when I had a rough day." Lily put in. Shelley smiled sympathetically.
"Just give him time and he will apologize." She said.
"Okay." Lily nodded, but inside, she was still thoroughly annoyed at him.
"Let's just go to dinner." Sirius told them. "PRONGS! WE'RE GOING TO DINNER!" He yelled and Lily shrieked quietly. James came out from the room and Lily moved her eyes somewhere else. They all paraded to the Great Hall, hungry and ready for a nice meal. Lily was pretty quiet at they sat down.
"What's," James started.
"Pass the chicken." Lily interrupted him. He passed it and didn't bother trying to talk to her for a while. Lily spoke to everyone except James, and he noticed. Once they were back in the Heads room, he tried to talk to her.
"What did I do?" He asked her, She looked at him at if he were stupid. "Oh yeah." She said once he remembered.
"Look," He tried.
"James, I don't want to talk to you right now." Lily told him. He looked a little disappointed.
"Lily, I'm,"
"What did I just tell you? Maybe I'll talk to you tomorrow. Just leave me alone for now." She walked out of the Heads room and heard James groan. Remus and Sirius were playing Wizards chess and Shelley was reading Hogwarts, A History. Lily smiled.
"You're reading it?" She asked.
"Well, you've read it so many times, I had to see what was so good about it. Plus, I'm incredibly bored and I am not going to do Potions homework." Shelley told her and she laughed. Lily decided to start the homework and as soon as she did, Shelley began copying hers.
"What? I need an O!" She explained innocently.
"You're bright enough." Lily told her.
"Maybe. But the Professor's hated me ever since Sirius kissed me in class!" Shelley remembered. They were goofing off in Potions, quietly playing Truth or Dare and Sirius had to kiss Shelley, and sure enough, both of them got three night's detention for it.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The following morning, Lily still didn't speak to James. In the end, she started talking to him a little at dinner.
"How did the test go for you?" She asked him.
"I got an E." He replied. Shelley rolled her eyes so Lily turned to her.
"What?"
"That's your big forgiveness?" She smirked and Lily shook her head.
After dinner, Lily and James were in their room. She turned to face him.
"I'm sorry. Honestly." She told him. He smiled at her.
"Me too. What I said was out of line." He told her. James grabbed her and pulled her close. He pressed his lips against hers. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and his were around her waist. They said goodnight and went to bed, smiling.
