How Could This Happen?
"YOU SHAGGED MALFOY!" Sirius screamed; it was not a question, but rather a statement.
"I was stupid, I was mad at Lily, we got in a fight about him, and I screwed up! Sue me!" Natalie shouted back.
"I can't believe you! You're going out with me and you shagged Malfoy! I could never date anyone who shagged Malfoy! You are such a slut!" Sirius screamed and before she could answer he had walked into James room and sealed the door.
Natalie ran into Lily's room in tears and did the same thing.
Natalie could not believe Sirius was being so thick. She hated every time he did this! He was over reacting. Just like Remus had back at James' house.
Come to think of it, it was hard to believe that that had only been a week ago. It seemed that time was going so fast, when in reality, it wasn't moving at all.
"Nat, are you okay?" Natalie heard Lily yell to her. "Open up, let me in!" Natalie didn't move, she didn't want to see anyone; she was too hurt.
"Natalie, open up, it's going to be all right." It was Andromeda's voice this time.
"No, I don't want to talk to anyone! Just leave me alone!" Natalie yelled out the door.
"Fine, we'll give you one hour, then we're busting in there whether you like it or not!" Lily said.
Meanwhile, James had gone to speak to Sirius.
"Mate, relax." James tried to tell Sirius, he was pasing around the room trying not to throw something. He kicked James' bed, but that did nothing at all.
"I can't! I can't believe that Malfoy shagged her! I can't believe she shagged him! I thought she was going to say Remus, but I wouldn't have cared if it was Mooney, but LUCIOUS MALFOY!" Sirius roared. James had never seen him so mad.
"Man, relax, it's okay, it's going to be fine. She doesn't care about Malfoy; she cares about you! Don't worry about it, Malfoy is an arrogant arse!" James said.
"GET OUT!" Sirius roared.
James didn't need telling twice. You don't get in the way of an angry Sirius when he was armed with a wand. Even if he wasn't you didn't ever want to cross him. So James walked out of the room, in silence.
Everyone looked at James expectantly.
"I have never seen him so mad." James said weakly. He looked pale, and hurt. His parents were in the hospital, Remus' parents were in the hospital, he almost lost his girlfriend (who just happened to be the best thing that happened to him since he met Remus and Sirius), and now his best friend wouldn't speak to Natalie because of who she lost her virginity to. Wow this was turning into a fantastic night, James thought.
"Nat won't even open up the door. She ran in there crying. I've never seen her so hurt." Lily said. She looked just as pale as James. When they're eyes met Lily saw that James was hurt, hurting a lot more than his face showed.
"I don't understand one thing," Remus said. "When we played truth or dare at your house James, Natalie said she was a virgin, and she was under the influence of Veritiseum. She couldn't have lied." Remus said confused.
"Remus, Natalie knew you were going to ask that, she made herself say she was. Don't ask how, but she learned to resist the truth." Lily said sadly.
After a little bit of uneasiness Remus and Andromeda fell asleep in each other's arms. James and Lilly started speaking quietly.
"I know. She screwed up though when she shagged Malfoy." James said. He didn't want to hurt Lily, but he had to stand up for her friend.
"I know, I know, our fight was because I didn't want her to go out with Malfoy to begin with, she slept with him to get back at me. I still feel bad about it, especially now." Lily said with a tear in her. James wiped it away with his thumb.
"It's not your fault. Don't ever think that." He told her sternly.
He lifted her chin up to look her in the eyes. Her eyes told him all he needed to know, she was depressed, tired, scared, and through it all, in love.
"Lily?" James spoke quietly, but she heard him clearly anyway.
"Yes James?" She replied in the same low voice.
"I love you." Jams whispered in her ear.
Lily ran her hands around his neck. She kissed him passionately.
"I love you too James." She whispered when they broke apart.
James pulled her into a tight embrace. He loved her so much, and he finally found the right time to say it. When she needed to hear it more than anything. When she needed him, when she couldn't live without him.
"James?" Lily whispered after a couple minutes of just being in each other's arms.
"Yes?" He said quietly.
"Are you a virgin?"
"Yeah, Lil, I am." James said coyly. He had a smirk on his lips, and Lily thought it was cute. "The question remains, are you?" James said slyly.
"I haven't been with anyone since Terret, and I we only snogged, I would never let him go farther. I could never." Lily said to James. "So the answer to your question would be yes, I am a virgin." Lily said smiling. Her eyes were twinkling in the night. "I should go and try to speak to Natalie."
"Yeah, I should try and Sirius again, maybe he's cooled down enough to speak without looking like he's going to kill me." James gave a very hollow laugh.
Lily knew he wasn't joking. Sirius had a deadly temper. Lily lightly kissed James before turning and unlocking her door.
"Natalie, you awake?" Lily said when she walked in. She looked at the bed. Natalie looked peaceful in her sleep. Lily sighed and turned around. James looked to be in Sirius' room still, and she could vaguely here Sirius screaming.
Knowing it could be dangerous she went into there with them, but she also knew that Sirius would never hit her. So that would calm him down forcefully.
When Lily walked in she saw Sirius on the bed, he looked to be strapped down by invisible ropes, she looked and James did have his wand out. Sirius was putting up a terrific fight though. Lily walked over to him, against James' warnings.
"Sirius, relax." Lily whispered in his ear. "It's' okay, calm down, James is just doing it to protect you both. Relax." She whispered.
Sirius was avoiding her eyes. He wouldn't look at her. So she put her hand on his face and turned it towards here, there were tears in his eyes.
"Talk to me Sirius." She whispered.
"Make James let me go first." Sirius said; he looked like a defenseless child pleading with his mother for candy.
"James, let him go." Lily said sternly. She met James' questioning eyes, but he obeyed. "Go wait out there, let me take care of this." Lily said, but James didn't move. Instead Lily told Sirius not to move, and walked over to James.
"He won't hit me. Just let me take care of him. He's vulnerable, and he's looking for a fight. He won't pick one with me, he can't. Trust me James, please." Lily begged him.
He just looked into her eyes then gave her a quick kiss before walking out and left Lily to take care of his best friend. James was scared for Lily, but knew she could handle Sirius at a time like this better than anyone.
"What's wrong Sirius?" Lily said walking back over and sitting on the bed.
"Lily, I love her, I love Natalie till death, and… and… and she's slept with Malfoy…" Sirius said. This took Lily slightly aback. Sirius had never confessed that he loved Natalie to Natalie. She knew he meant it though.
"So what? Sure you aren't going to let something like the fact that she slept with Malfoy once, screw up your friendship with her." Lily said quietly.
"Lily, you don't understand. I just, I hate him so much, I always have and… and she means the world to me. I don't know what I will do without her." Sirius told Lily in an insecure voice. He was so vulnerable, it was different, and she hated to see him like this.
"Sirius, relax. Don't worry. You will not lose her over this. This is so trivial. She loves you too. I've never seen her so happy." Lily said. "I should tell you, she was mad at me for yelling at her about accepting a date with him. She got mad at me. She was upset, and he got her slightly drunk, actually, she didn't wake up till noon the next day, and she had a hell of a hang over." Lily told Sirius.
"I really screwed up didn't I?" Sirius asked Lily, slightly upset.
"Yeah, you did, but you can make it up to her." Lily said.
Sirius looked at her with a questioning look in his eyes.
"How? She won't forgive for something that big, I over reacted and she'll never talk to me again cause of it." Sirius said flatly.
"Oh yeah? Go in my room, and speak to her." Lily told him.
