Chapter 4
Telling Marlene


Remus came back to the dormitory. Although he thought that James deserved to know about his conversation with Lily and Alice he refrained, telling himself that he did not wanting to loose trust with Lily or being "to loyal to his friends." Actually it wasn't either of those things. He couldn't bring himself to let James know that Lily knew about the conversation and he didn't want to tell part truths.
Alice and Lily took a different route. They gave up on not telling Marlene. She would demand to know eventually and they figured it was to fun not to share.

"Hey Marlene, come hither" Alice called from across the dormitory.

Marlene sat chewing her quill and rereading her essay. "One sec" she responded.

A moment later Marlene stood up and walked to Alice and Lily were situated. She plopped herself down, and not a second later did Alice begin to speak.

"You know how James is always pestering Lily"

"Umm, earth to Alice, the entire world knows, he isn't exactly subtle about his requests."

"Anyway that isn't the point." Lily said

Alice continued "Well I think she should give him a chance."

"I agree" Marlene said "I mean he is cute, athletic-"

"And has a huge ego that people like you increase"

At this point Marlene and Alice begin laughing.

"This is not funny" Lily tried to defend herself only causing the laughter to increase.

"Could we please continue with the story?" Lily tried again to put a halt to the laughter.

Finally Alice stopped enough so that she could speak and finish the story. "Well Lily was trying to convince me that I should goon a date with Frank."

"And you should" Marlene said.

"Exactly," Alice continued "So since I thought that Lily should date Potter and and she thought I should date Frank we dared each other to do just that."

"Oh my gosh, are you for real. I totally think that you should both do it."

"Wait there is more" Alice began again "That was last night, this morning we were on our way to breakfast and we heard the Marauders talking"

"Ooooh, eves dropping were ya?"

"Hey you would have done the same thing" Lily said

"Ya, your right"

"Of course I am"

Alice groaned and went back to the story.

"They were saying that James was agreeing to stop doing what Lily doesn't like."

"You mean stop begging for a date all the time"

"Exactly" Lily smiled

"Oh my gosh"

"Yes and he has gone over 24 hours already."

"No way"

"Yes"

"So when we went to the library, and Remus was there. We were working with him and when he ws done and Lily was reading it she questioned why James hadn't asked her out at all that day. All he said was 'Okay, you see he decided that you were sick of his questioning and gave up for now. And we thought we would tell you so that your not out of the loop."

"Thanks"

"So we have dates for Hogsemede you should get one."

"I dunno, I think this is better just the two of you"

"Alright" Lily and Alice agreed.

"Now let's go to bed."


In the other dormitory Remu was thinking over the days activity. Lily is really nice I think that she will say yes to him after a few days. She did admit to me that she like James if it weren't for his constant pestering. I mean I think this is the fir day in a while that has passed without his begging. I must say I am impressed. I shouldn't be though I know James that well. He is kind enough that if he thought he had to he wouldn't ask for an entire year. I know Lily to she will say yes in a few days. I do think it helps that she knows he is trying to be nice to her. Why am I so concerned with my friends love life? They are great people but I have a life to. Remus they are your friends, they will stay with you though everything. They didn't leave you when they found your secret and they wouldn't ever leave you. You care about them they care about you of corse it's your place to care and if you can you should help them.
