Cat Fight

"Oh! Hey Ally, you scared me!" Lily exclaimed.

"Aww, poor little Lily scared? Too bad James isn't here to save you now," Ally said darkly.

"What are you talking about?" Lily asked confused.

"I heard what happened with you and Amos," Ally replied. "It's all the damn school's been talking about."

"But what's that have to do with you?" Lily asked.

"Ever since I got together with James, you're all he talks about. Lily this, and Lily that. I'm getting real tired of it."

"James and I are just friends," Lily said.

"I'm not stupid," Ally spat. "I see the way he looks at you."

"We're just friends!" Lily exclaimed. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." Lily turned to leave, but was stopped by Ally.

"You're not going anywhere until we settle this," Ally said, firmly holding onto Lily's arm.

"It's already been settled," Lily replied, giving Ally a glare. "Let me go. Now."

What Ally did next was the last thing Lily expected. Ally's fist collided with Lily's jaw, causing her to stumble backwards. Lily stared at Ally while holding a hand to her jaw.

"I'm not gonna stoop to your level and fight," Lily said through clenched teeth. "And you better believe I'm going to report this to your Head of House."

Ally edged closer to Lily. She held up her hand, and was about to hit Lily again, but Lily beat her to hit. Anger getting the better of her, Lily slapped Ally across the face as hard as she could.

"You little bitch," Ally said.

Ally leapt to tackle Lily, but Lily read her intentions. She quickly moved out of the way, causing Ally to collide with the wall. Lily took this as the perfect opportunity to catch Ally by surprise, so she shoved her up against the wall; hard.

Now facing her opponent, Lily asked, "Are we done settling this?"

Ally gave Lily a glare, and then averted her gaze to something behind Lily. "Oh, please don't hurt me! I promise to let you have James! Just don't hurt me!"

"What?" Lily asked confused.

Lily turned around and was greeted with non other than James, who didn't exactly look too pleased at what he was seeing.

"Let her go Lily," James said, his voice dull and his expression passive.

Lily let Ally go, and was about to tell James what happened before Ally did, but James just held up his hand.

"Really Lily, you don't need to explain," James said.

Lily let out a sigh of relief, glad that he understood.

"Any blind person could have seen that you attacked Ally for no apparent reason. I thought you were better than that," James added, now looking disappointed.

Lily opened her mouth to respond, but again James cut her off.

"You might want to apologize."

James walked over to Ally and put an arm around her. He began looking over her various bruises that were beginning to form.

Lily stared in disbelief. This could not be happening. Ally attacked her, not the other way around. "Before you tell me to apologize you should get your facts straight," Lily said, glaring daggers at James and Ally.

Lily didn't wait for either one to respond. She headed towards the stairs, and began climbing them quickly.

How on earth could James be so stupid! He knows I would never to something like that, Lily thought. Urgh! I swear! If Ally wasn't the one he was shagging he would have sided with me, but nooooo...Potter's sex life always comes first.

Entering the common room, Lily stormed upstairs to her dormitory, praying that no one would be in there.

Opening the door, Lily was very pleased to see that her dorm was indeed empty. She plopped down onto her bed and buried her face into her pillow.

After about five minutes, the door to the dormitory opened and shut very quietly. Lily didn't bother to look up, not really caring who it was. Even though her head was still in her pillow, Lily heard faint sobs coming from her left.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Lily lifted her head up slightly, and looked to see who had entered. It was Katie.

Wiping a hand across her tear dried face, Lily got up and went to her friend.

"Katie?" Lily asked, her voice low.

No answer.

"Katie?" Lily tried again. "Are you ok?"

A few more sobs and Katie turned to face her. "Me and Remus broke up," she whispered.

Lily pulled Katie into a hug. "Shh...everything is going to be ok," Lily said trying to comfort her.

After about a half an hour, Katie fell asleep so Lily decided to leave the dorm and head down to the common room so she wouldn't wake her.

She went down the staircase and plopped herself on the sofa. Lily began staring intently into the wooden side table, loosing herself in her thoughts.

Guys are so much trouble. Just look at Katie, hell, look at herself. Sometimes I think we'd be better off without them, Lily thought, letting out a big sigh.

Lily was so rapped into her thoughts that she didn't hear the common room portrait open. When she felt the sofa sink down a little, she turned her head and was greeted with non other than James.

"What do you want?" Lily asked, her anger coming back.

"Why?" James asked, his voice almost a whisper.

"Why! That's all you have to say to me!" Lily yelled. "First I find out you have a girlfriend and then when she picks a fight with me, you take her side!"

"Lily..."

"Don't," Lily warned. "I'm tired of all your games, I'm tired of your stupid girlfriend, and most of all I'm tired of you."

James was about to speak, but Lily stopped him.

"I don't care what you have to say," Lily spat. "All you care about is yourself and whether or not you get shagged."

Lily stood up and started towards the girls staircase, but James and his quick reflexes stopped her.

"Just listen to me," James said holding her arm tightly.

Lily was about to tell him to get lost, but James stopped her. "I've listened to your say, now it's time you listen to mine."

Still holding onto her arm, James continued. "Do you think I like being with Ally? Do you think I like not being with you?"

Lily stared at him.

"Well, I don't. The past few months has sucked Lily," James said loosening his grip on her arm a little. "But I was happy just being friends with you, that's all you could handle at the time being."

"Then why Ally?" Lily asked bitterly.

"I loved you, but you didn't expect me to sit around and wait, did you?" James asked.

"Yes!" Lily exclaimed, hot tears now rolling down her cheeks. "See, it's just like I said, it always comes back to you and your sex life!"

"You know that's not it," James starting to get angry. "A year ago you didn't even give me the time of day, so when you finally decided to go out with me, it was a damn miracle. Yeah we went out for a while and it was awesome, but once we broke up I didn't think you would ever consider trying it again."

"Well, I did," Lily whispered.
