Time Heals Everything: Chapter 3

Author's Note: Before I start this chapter, I'd like to say that thanks to all who are reading my story and supporting it, and to the people who sent me flames, that if you don't like the way I write my story then please don't read it and please don't send me flames!!! They aren't apprecieated by me and just make me feel worse about my writing. Everyone has different tastes in writing and maybe my style just doesn't suit yours. Well, enough of my blabbing...here's the chapter...enjoy!!

James sat in the common room long after Sara and Megan had dragged Lily out of their room and into the Gryffindor common room. Sirius and Remus had gone after a while too, after talking to James about the letter.

"Lily, where have you been?" asked Sara

"Sara you know where I was, in my room, and you were there with me" Lily replied trying to get off that subject.

"What she means, Lil, is that where were you before you got the letter?" Meg put in.

"Meg, Sara, since you two are my best friends, I'll trust you to believe me when I say that I was pretty safe, wherever I was."

Megan and Sara didn't argue at that, both of them unable to come up with something to say to Lily after that. When Lily put it that way they knew she was right and there was nothing else to say about it. They let Lily go back to her room, the three of them promising to meet again tomorrow at 6:00pm to have a slumber party that was needed to remind them of old times. Meg added as Lily left,

"Remember Lily, it's our special girl time that we haven't had for a long time now, and get James to patrol the halls tomorrow night."

"So Lily, truth or dare?" Sara asked

Lily tilted her head to the right in thought. She was probably debating whether truth was better than dare with these creatures who were her friends. After a moment, she must have decided that truth was better and couldn't do any harm to her.

"Truth"

Sara and Meg whispered in each other's ears for a while, deciding to ask Lily the perfect truth question that they had been wondering since the beginning of this year.

"Meg, do the honours" Sara giggled.

Lily rolled her eyes, and sarcastically muttered, "No, Megan, please take your time in announcing my question, so then you and Sara can giggle non-stop together"

"Lily, do you" Meg dramatically paused, "like James better than you did before he became Head Boy?"

Lily blushed in bed long after the girls had partied all night long, recalling Meg asking her if she liked James!! Now, didn't these girls already know that she didn't?? But she remember her astonishment when she let her heart take over in answering the question honestly. Better than before, she had said. She couldn't believe she had said that!! Especially after their history together.

She turned in her sleeping bag in between Sara and Meg's beds. Then she remembered that she would have to stay in a room with James. Alone. For four months!! Her friends hadn't sympathized with her in the least bit. They had actually thought it was funny. Well of course they should. Sara and Remus had been dating since the start of this year, and Sirius and Meg both liked each other, and everyone but those two knew it.
