Never Meant To Hurt You

Chapter Two

"Well, well Remus, come to see the show?" A very young Sirius Black asked his friends, who had just entered the hall. Sirius Black was short, but muscular. His black hair was cut so that it reached his shoulders and his dark eyes gave him an intimidating look.

Remus moved closer to Sirius and saw what he meant by show; Severus Snape lying on the ground dressed like a girl. Remus didn't laugh. "If you guys get caught by his head of house," Remus started, but his voice was stopped by James' voice. "Come on moony, it's only having a bit of fun. You can have your chance too, if you want," James said.

"James, you know Lily wouldn't like this. She would be frustrated with you," Remus told James, but James put his hand up, "Lily isn't here now is she?"

The thing went on for about tem minutes more before the Slytherin's head of house caught them.

"My god James, you want Lily to like you, but you still do the same things she asked you not to do. She deserves better." Remus said walking beside James and Sirius.

"Come on, Remus! Look, I like doing that, ok?" James said facing Remus.

"Ok, sure, but I thought you liked Lily better," Remus said starring his dark eyes in to James' even darker eyes.

"I do, but-" James started.

"Then treat her like you do! When she asks you to stop, stop, ok?" Remus said.

"This is coming from a guy who has never dated, right?" James said, trying to make Remus feel small, but it didn't work. Remus only felt small when Lily called him a friend. Lily didn't mean to hurt Remus, she never meant to hurt anyone, but she did.

"No, this is coming from a guy who knows how women are supposed to be treated!" Remus yelled and walked off toward the library.

James was left standing there, shocked. He ran after Remus. "What women?" James asked.

"Lily!" Remus yelled.

"What?" James asked, confused.

"That's right, James. Whether you want to believe it or not Lily is a woman and she deserves to be treated better than the way you have been treating her," Remus yelled one last time and stepped into the library as James walked off to play quidditch.

How would James know how Lily needed to be treated? He barely knew what Lily liked, only how she looked. Remus was right. James needed to get his act together otherwise he would never have a chance with Lily. No. He won't deserve a chance.

Lily Evans is precious and she doesn't deserve to be hurt. She doesn't deserve to have James treat her the way he has been. She deserves the best of everything, the best of everyone.

And the best was Remus, if only she could she it…

Remus walked to the table near the charms section. He loved charms and although he wasn't best at it he could it and read about the different kinds of charms all day. He spent most of that day in the library, doing work that wasn't due until after the holiday vacation, studying for test, checking homework and reading. It wasn't until a familiar red head sat down that he stopped. He looked up at her. "Hi," Hi was the only word he could get out before his cheeks glowed up.

Lily smiled. She loved the way Remus got when someone talked to him. He was so cute. She never knew why it was he got that way. He didn't when he was talking to the marauders, but always when Lily was around. "Hi," She replied opening her book.

Remus noticed she was doing potions work and he had finished it a while ago. "Um, Lily, if you need help, I can help you. I mean-" Remus trailed off getting redder than Lily's hair.

Lily looked up at him and said, "Thanks, I'm usually good at this stuff, but lately I have been falling behind. I don't think I understand this new section," Lily looked down. She didn't like to ask for help, even though she really wasn't asking, but still. She was supposed to be smart, and although she loved when Remus helped her, it made her feel stupid.

Remus explained all of it to Lily and helped her study for the test coming up. When he was finished he saw Lily's hurt expression so he said, "It's very hard, you know, most wizards don't take potions unless they have to for a good job. Don't feel bad, Lily. If you do bad on the test tomorrow then I'll work with you, but I doubt you will. You seem to have it!" Remus said enthusiastically so that Lily would feel better. Lily smiled and Remus took this as a good sign. He loved making her smile. She had the most beautiful smile in the world and it was a shame when she wasn't wearing it. "You should go to the quidditch pitch. James has been down there for a while, but practice doesn't start for five minutes," Remus said as he got up. He kissed the top of her head while she was sitting.

Then he picked up their bags of books, put them on his shoulder and extended a hand for Lily to take. Lily giggled. Remus had always been a gentleman even when he didn't have to be. She took it and Remus lead her out side.
