If I can't have her, neither can you!
Summary: Lilly had a sad life until a mystery man popped up. The only thing is he's hiding something.
I believe the drama is just beginning
Last time: Lily couldn't take it anymore; she had to see who was talking. Lily leaned just barely around the corner at the faces of two young men and almost shrieked at whom she saw.
Lucius Malfoy…and Tom.

James turned to Lily and tugged at her arm. "Come on Lil's, I think we walked into the wrong discussion."
"You think?" Sirius hissed as he grabbed Nyla's hand and pulled her down the hallways. James wrapped his arm around Lil's shoulders and cradled her all the way back to the common room, Remus just behind them.
"What happened?" Peter asked when they finally sat down by the fire. Remus rubbed at his temples and chewed on his bottom lips thoughtfully.
"We, just, we accidentally over heard a discussion that we weren't supposed to."
"That's never made you feel bad before." Peter observed. James gave his friend a soar look and patted Lily's knee.
"Well this was a disturbing one…its best we not repeat it, but it was bad." Lily suddenly stood up and smiled weakly.
"No, no I think we must have heard wrong, Tom would never do anything like that to anyone, and he would certainly never teach anybody that sort of spell. Never. S-so, I think we should all just go to bed and forget about it, it's late after all, our minds are probably just acting up." Lily glanced around at everyone's disbelieving faces and then ran up the girls' staircase to bed.
James turned back to the group with eyes the size of dinner plates and mouth agape. "Nyla, you're her best friend, you need to talk to her; make her understand that what we saw and heard was real."
"I'll try James, but she's stubborn, if she gets an idea in her head she'll stick to it through thick and thin until proven wrong."
"Well, I know this is going to sound amazing coming from me, but I think we should all go get some rest." Said Sirius casually; Nyla smirked and patted his head.
"So there is some reason within that minuscule brain of yours." Sirius swatted her hand away and sneered.
"Night everybody."

Lily woke the next morning and quickly took her shower before running down the staircase and through the halls to breakfast. She walked to the end of the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Peter who looked up timidly and smiled.
"Hello Peter, how are those spells coming?" Peter blushed and scratched the back of his neck.
"They're ok, kind of difficult but I think I'm getting them." Lily smiled brightly and dug into her toast and eggs.
"That's brilliant, I'm really glad that you're practicing them. You should be very proud of yourself." Peter blushes once more and gave her an embarrassed, curt nod.
"Morning!" Nyla chirped as she sat down next to Lily. Lily looked at her friend and patted her belly.
"You've got yourself a decently sized bump there my friend."
"Yes, you can blame Sirius for that one." Nyla said teasingly just as he sat himself beside her and stuck out his tongue.
"I think you're just jealous because I'm too manly for you and you can't handle it." Nyla snorted and waved to someone across the hall.
"I'll be right back, Carson wants a word." She stood up and ran over to a tall Ravenclaw boy not too far away. Sirius frowned and followed her every movement with his gaze.
"Who in merlins name is Carson and would you consider him a threat?" lily smiled and chuckled softly into her food.
"Carson is Nyla's ex boyfriend and no, I would not consider him a threat because he is like her brother. Besides, you're her babies' daddy, he can't beat that." Sirius smirked and puffed out his chest.
"You're right Lil's, he can't beat me, nobody can, except maybe Potter, the ploncker; he's a right ladies man." The table laughed and James, Peter and Remus finally joined them.
"It's amazing, I have never seen you four come to lunch at different times, you're always together. I think this day should be written down and remembered as the day that the famous Marauders lost their touch." Stated Lily. Remus mock gasped and James pretended to faint.
"Never!" Sirius shouted forcefully and pumping his fist in the air. Nyla came and sat back down, with a little bit of help from Lily due to the extra weight on her stomach.
"Never what?" She asked, grinning. Sirius took her hand and kissed the top of it softly.
"Never will my undying lover for you falter." He said softly. The group laughed and Nyla swatted his arm.
"No matter how cheesy that was; it still made my heart flutter." Lily sighed and looked back across the table at Peter. He was picking around at his food and chewing nervously on his lip.
"Are you alright Peter?" Lily asked softly. Peter jumped and knocked over his pumpkin juice in fright.
"Look what you did you great over sized prat!" a Gryffindor nearby yelled, wiping the liquid from his plain white school shirt. Peter muttered a quick apology and began to mop up his mess. Lily leaned over the table to help him clean just as Sirius burst into an uproar of joyous laughter.
"You've always been the biggest clumsy cow I've ever met, Pete; you never cease to surprise me." Peter's face turned a bright shade of red and he scratched at his tear burned eyes.
"So sorry to make a muck Lily, I was just in thought and you surprised me, I'll just go and clean myself off now." Peter jumped from his spot, grabbed his stuff and sprinted from the room.
Lily turned her scowling face on the group of boys and stood up angrily. "You hurt his feelings!" She scolded, before she too grabbed her stuff and stomped off.
"Merlin, she's got more hormone issues than you do, and she's not even pregnant." Said Remus. The others laughed and James stood up.
"I'm going to class now; I'll see you guys around."
"See you mate" Sirius beamed.
James grabbed and apple and walked to DADA whistling his own merry song.
"Hello Potter." James spun and around and glared as he spotted Tom in a far corner of the corridor.
"Riddle, shouldn't you be at breakfast?"
"I could be asking you the same thing." James held up his apple and smirked.
"Look Potter, I didn't come here to talk about breakfast and eating, I came here to discuss the matters of two nights ago." James suddenly scowled and took a step forward.
"You mean how you cheated on Lily with that slut Lorelei?"
"First of all her name is Lorena you bloody naff. Second of all, we're going to discuss how the matters of that night are my business and not your own."
James snorted and began to tap his foot irritably. "It's my business when you're hurting my best friend."
"I thought Sirius was your best friend."
"He is, but I love Lily!"
"I love Lily too!" Tom shouted. James stopped and took in a deep breath to calm his anger.
"Then why did you kiss Lorelei?" Tom frowned and scratched his forehead.
"Lorena; and I didn't, she actually threw herself on me."
"But you didn't stop her." Tom nodded and leaned against the wall.
"No, I'll admit that I didn't. But you have hormones too; you know how hard they are! Besides, Lorena is beautiful and she'll give you anything you want."
"But you should have tried to stop her! You really hurt Lily." Tom sighed and rubbed his forehead.
"Yeah I know; which is why I'm talking to her tonight. I've got nothing planned this evening so I'll have a talk with her then. Would you be able to tell her that?" James frowned and shook his head.
"You should do it yourself; I don't want to deliver any messages from 'you'!" Tom rolled his eyes and pushed himself from his leaning position on the wall.
"I thought we'd gotten past that for the moment Potter. Come one, I'm trying to be polite here, don't push your luck."
James too rolled his eyes and walked away. "Whatever."

Later that night Lily got back to the common room grinning from ear to ear and she looked over at her friends, a blush creeping its way across her nose and cheeks.
"We made up." She said softly, before plopping herself on the couches between James and Nyla. Nyla smiled and patted her friends' knee.
"Well that's good Lil's, I'm glad everything is back to normal for now."
"For now," Lily said, smiling.
"You're glad, right James?" Nyla asked suddenly. James looked up and frowned.
"About what?" James asked curiously.
Nyla smiled sadly and tugged atone of herloose curls. "That Lily and Tom made up."
James sighed and rubbed at his eyes. "Yeah, I'm glad." He whispered.
Aww, poor Jamie! So what'd you think? R&R people! If you have any question please feel free to ask. Also, I fixed some mistakes in previous chapters, about his Aunt May being a deatheater haha, stupid me! Tom created the deatheaters, not his aunt! Hehe, thank you so much Phinea for pointing that out! Also, another thing she pointed out (you little genius you!) is that in the beginning Tom's eyes are blue and then halfway through they're green. Tom's eyes in this story are GREEN. So I must go back and fix that. Otay, other then that, keep reading, and before I go, I have to scream to everybody just how many hits I have. I HAVE 1120 ON THIS STORY! screams screams again ok, I'm finished cheesy grin I just can't believe so many people have checked out this story! Ok, now
