White Stag
Later that evening, Lily decided to apologize to James. For some reason, she suddenly didn't want him to be mad at her. So when she saw him come into the common room with Sirius, Remus, and Peter, she got up. "James?"
Sirius turned around instead. "Hey Prongsie, your girlfriend's following us," he said with a smirk.
"She's not my girlfriend, Padfoot," said James, not even looking at Lily.
"You sure, Prongs? She's sure trying to get your attention," Sirius said, still smirking.
"I just wanted to apol-" Lily stopped mid-word.
"'Apol'?" said Sirius, looking slightly puzzled. Remus, James, and Peter turned around to look at her, all looking confused.
"Prongs," whispered Lily, horrified. Something had clicked, and all the pieces had fallen into place.. She would never see James and the stag together. He had said it was because the stag didn't like him, but what if he... that meant she had poured her heart out to...
Remus's eyes grew wide. He grabbed James by the wrist and dragged him away from Lily, Sirius, and Peter. Lily could only hear snatches of the conversation.
"Now you've... knows about you..." Remus said, anger obvious in his voice.
"...not my fault... if Sirius hadn't..." replied James heatedly.
Sirius went over to them and joined into the conversation. Unlike the other two, however, he didn't bother being quiet.
"We can worry about blame later. We need to figure out what we're going to do."
"James," said Remus decisively, "is going to go talk to her."
James nodded and walked back over to Lily, who was staring at him.
"We need to talk," he said quietly.
Well, this is even shorter than the last one, but it was a good cutoff point. Since this is so short, chapter 5 is going to get posted tonight too. Anyways, it'll definately be written by the end of the day. Maybe I'll even get chapter 6 written and up, who knows?
And look, jeevesandwooster's question got answered.
