Say Something

The story of Lily Evans falling in the pit they call love. Rated T for language might change to M in later chapters.

Recap:

This was not my problem if the Marauders had some sort of fight I had nothing to do with it. It was not my problem. Then why did Black say 'I hope you're happy'? A voice whispered in my head. I glanced at Remus who looked a little dejected and then I looked at the entrance to the Great Hall. I looked back and forth for a minute. What the hell... I stood up and walked out of the Great Hall following the footsteps of Black and Potter.

Following them got me know where. I ended up going in circles passing a stupid statue of an ugly witch with a hump. Who would put that there? Anyway I spent my lunch trying to find them until I gave up and went to class. The Professor looked at me as if asking where Potter was. I shrugged and took my seat at the back of class while getting out my parchment. Remus looked back at me and furrowed his eyebrows. He looked so cute when he was upset…I shook my head and turned back towards the professor.

The Marauders made up at dinner that night with Pettigrew tripping on his own feet and landing in a vat of pudding. Don't ask me how those weird boys (excluding Remus of course) can forgive each other so easily.

Two weeks later with nothing really happening except Remus was now talking to me less and less causing me to become more irritated with Potter whenever he spoke. This caused Potter to act even nicer to me…which irritated me even more. Black also was being colder to me and Elle as the weeks went by…This caused Elle to yell at me and say stupid stuff about me and Potter getting together. She just wants Black and to think about all this happened with one little chat (okay maybe not chat more like being yelled at by him…but you get the point) with Potter. Damn Potter. He started it all with yelling at me and telling me to quite. As if, I thought at the time, he just wants to rule to school alone. Well I'm not going to let that happen…

Suddenly into the last week of September my life came crashing down. Okay maybe its not that bad…yes it is…its really bad…I stopped liking Remus. I mean don't get me wrong he is still a very nice guy and all he just lost his appeal towards me. I mean last Wednesday he went missing and came back looking as if he went through hell actually now that I think about all the Marauders came back on Thursday looking as if they went through hell too…I'll have to look into it some time…

Also Potter started ignoring me.

No, no, no he's got this all wrong. It's not Potter who ignores me, it's me who ignores him. Why is he twisting everything around! Damn him again.

"All these silent curses mean nothing." Elle said the weekend my life cam crashing down.

"So I should just curse him to hell in front of him and then end up being yelled at again?" I asked sarcastically with my head resting on my knee watching as Elle through rocks into the lake.

"No maybe you should just play along with his game." She said successfully skipping a rock,

"What do you mean?" She sighed and I could see her rolling her eyes,

"I mean, ignore him also. The only time you should speak to him is when forced." Elle said throwing another rock. This time it didn't skip it plunked.

"Shut up Elle." I said standing up, "You are no help." Elle shrugged. Well it's true. She has no personal experience in the matter of men except maybe father advice. Even then she's being bad at that because she hasn't seen her father for three years…

I stared walking back towards the common room, but stopped when I heard muffled voices coming from the key keeper's cabin. Hagrid? Was that his name? Anyway I was being in a very mean mood so I crept closer.

"I've tried everything." Said a voice I could not figure out whose.

"Have you jus' sat down with 'er and told 'er?" Hagrid asked. The person the voice belonged to snorted,

"How pleasant would that be? Hello I love you please don't kill me." Hagrid sighed,

"You are ho'eless," Hagrid said, "More tea?" I turned away then wondering what sane Hogwarts student would fall in love. I mean how could someone under the age of 25 know what love is? I laughed to myself and continued my long trek back to the common room alone.

That is where Remus found me a half and hour later. I was trying to get the leaves out of my hair when he came running up to me, "Uh… Lily Dumbledore wants to see you and James in his office now." I raised an eyebrow,

"Why?" Remus shrugged and ran up the boys' staircase trying to find Potter. I shook my head and exited the common room just as Potter was walking in taking off his cloak. "Dumbledore wants to see us now." I said not even stopping. I could feel Potter's eyes on my head as I walked down the hallway. Then I could hear him steadily walk behind me keeping a good distance between us. Good I don't want Potter to walk next to me anyway. I might catch something. Like the big ego virus. I snorted…real mature Evans. It was probably an STD that's probably how Black and Potter caught it. I didn't even know I was standing in front of the entrance before Potter stood next to me and said the pass word. He let me pass in front of him and then followed still keeping his distance. I knocked slightly on the door before creaking it open to reveal Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall sitting and talking silently,

"Good for you two to join us." The Headmaster said waving his wand so two more chairs appeared before us. He motioned for us to sit, "Minerva and I have been talking and it seems that more and more students are out wondering the hallways at night. It has come to our attention that it is becoming a real problem for Filch to handle so many students…" He trailed off petting Fawks, his phoenix,

"…and…?" Potter said slowly snapping Dumbledore out of his state,

"Right so we have decided that you two will be patrolling the corridors every other night from ten to one in the morning starting on Monday." I could feel myself get sleepy just by him saying that. Potter stood and nodded. McGonagall's eyebrows rose as she watched Potter walk out and then looked at me. I knew I silent dismissal when I saw one. I nodded towards both Professors and walked out. Surprisingly Potter was waiting at the bottom of the steps for me. We walked back in an uncomfortable silence and he stopped as we approached our head dormitory,

"Well see you Monday." He said tilting his head towards me and walking down the hallway. I narrowed my eyes as I watched him go. What was he scheming? Probably something evil. Potter is evil. He probably suggested the un-godly hours to Dumbledore just to make me suffer through class the next day. Damn him. Damn that evil son of a bi-

"Excuse me? Are you going to stand out there or come in?" The painting said impatiently. I glared at it and said the password still mumbling curses at Potter.

Thanks to little angel girl for reviewing my almost lost story. I hope this is longer for you.
