Chapter 22- Meeting Ryan.
Lily turned to and looked at Christine questionably, "You're sure we should go?" Lily asked as she pulled her hair into a tight ponytail.
"We have no choice." Christine replied, defeat shown in her eyes.
A single tear ran down both their faces. They knew that they had to go but they were scared to go. Ryan and Amos couldn't do anything bad...At least too bad. . They both thought.
Christine and Lily stood in her room in silence for another moment before exiting Lily's room. Silently they stepped out of the Head's Dorms cautiously. They started making their way down to the Quidditch Pitch. Both looked around at the sleeping portraits silently wishes they were them.
They had gone through most of Hogwarts undetected as they passed by Dumbledore's office some called out to them in a loud whisper.
"Where do you think your going?" James and Sirius appeared from under James's invisibility cloak.
"Just for a walk James." Lily attempted to fool James.
"Then we'll join you. If two Heads are out after hours it won't seem as shifty." James started walking down the hall.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Lily cried in a panic, "You can't come."
James turned and started at Lily giving her a confused stare.
"…What she meant is that we wanted to talk just two girls." Christine quickly covered up for Lily.
"Just to talk?" Sirius raised an eyebrow questionably.
"Yes." Christine replied not looking Sirius in the eyes.
Christine and Lily started hurrying down the halls again trying to get away from James and Sirius so they could meet Ryan and Amos and get it over with.
"I don't believe that," Sirius whispered to James as he looked out a near by window. Out on the Quidditch Pitch he saw two figures standing out there already as if waiting, "Let's fallow them."
James nodded in reply.
A Cold wind hit Lily and Christine as they pushed the doors the outside open. They both shivered but pushed forward unaware that James and Sirius were fallowing close behind them.
They made it to the Quidditch Pitch and looked around for Ryan and Amos hoping they could get out of the cold and back into their dorms soon.
"I see that you made the right choice and showed up." Ryan spoke from the shadows.
"We're here already. Can we please just hurry up it is freezing out here." Christine shivered.
"Now now we only get so much time to talk with out your body guards Potty and Blank around." Ryan smiled moving from the shadows.
"Their names are Sirius and James. Now Ryan hurry for in about 10 seconds I am leaving if there is no real purpose for us being here." Lily glared at her ex-boyfriend.
Ryan nodded to the shadows as Amos appeared from no where. He walked over to Christine and moved her away from Lily. Christine was now out of Lily's hearing.
"So Christine love what have you been up to lately?" Amos tried to make pleasant conversation.
"You know the usual go to classes hang with the girls, be with my boyfriend Sirius Black…"
"You know you could always have better than Black."
"Who could be better than Sirius? Surely your not talking about Remus, are you?"
"Stop joking around Chrissy you know I mean me."
"Who's Chrissy? I see me and I see Lily. Unfortunately I see you and Ryan as well but I don't see any Chrissys." Christine smiled.
"Just go out with me you will see how much better than Black I am."
"No, I'm with Sirius go away." Christine turned around to see Ryan drag Lily out of sight.
"LILY!" She screamed.
"So what do you want to talk about?" Lily's voice started sounding impatient.
"Different things, like how you could choose Potty over me." Ryan stared straight into Lily's eyes.
"Ryan, I love James. I didn't feel this way when I was with you. With him I feel constantly happy and bubbly. He's my knight is shining armor. Except without the shining armor part." Lily let out a nervous laugh.
"But Lily-Flower we belong together, we are made for each other."
"Don't call me Lily-Flower I have always hated it. I'm sorry but we just aren't meant to be together, I'm sure you'll find someone perfect for you but it isn't me."
"But it is Lily! Please just give me another chance!"
"I gave you your chance. From 4th year to the begging of this year. I'm sorry but we are never getting back together."
"You're lying," Ryan's voice changed to a scary tone. One Lily had never heard. "You're lying. You aren't happy with Potter. You're just afraid for your feeling for me. I get it now."
"No it isn't like that!" Lily protested as hard as she could.
"You can't fool me love." Ryan smirked at Lily.
"Ryan do me a favor and go away I don't like you. So just leave me alone. I'm never going to be with you again so you can get that stupid thought out of your head. Good Bye Ryan I am leaving." Lily turned away from Ryan and to start walking away.
Before she could take her first step Ryan reached out and grabbed her arm, "No I think that you will be staying here." Ryan then proceeded to pulling Lily into the shadows of the Quidditch Pitch.
Lily faintly heard Christine screaming out her name. Lily started to squirm trying to get out of Ryan's grasp. With out a warning Ryan's mouth was on top of hers. Lily gained enough strength to push him off.
"What do you think that your doing Ryan?" she asked wiping off her mouth.
"Lily you know you liked it so stop fighting and just give into it." Ryan replied moving towards Lily again.
"NO I didn't like it so go away please. Just leave me alone." Lily cried in despair. She started backing away from Ryan who was moving towards her again. Taking a large breath in she felt her back it the stands. She had no where to go with Ryan closing in on her.
Again his mouth covered hers trying to pull her into a kiss. Lily kept her mouth shut not responding to Ryan.
He was breathing heavily getting all he could no the not responding Lily. "So are you warmer now?" His mouth again crashed into hers.
James couldn't take it anymore he had to stop Chambers from doing anything bad.
"What do we have here?" James said loudly and he removed the invisibility cloak.
Ryan jumped a little away from Lily whose eyes shone when she saw James. When Ryan noticed it was James he smiled. "Well Potter you see Lily and I were just getting reacquainted as we have been all month. You see she didn't want to hurt you so she kept leading you on."
"Chambers that would hurt it I knew that it wasn't true. I heard what you have been saying to Lily and I don't like it. So scram before something happens that you won't like."
Ryan walked away from James and Lily obviously mad. He glared at James then smiled to Lily blowing a kiss to her. Holding on to Lily's hand tightly James then went over to where Christine was currently walking away from Amos.
"Diggory get going before I have to take points away from Hufflepuff. And tell you friend that if he ever tries to pull another stunt like this both he and you will be expelled before you know it."
Amos ran hurrying after Ryan. Sirius then took off the invisibility cloak and walked over to where Christine was.
"Why didn't you tell us what was doing on?" He asked his voice full of concern
"We couldn't…we didn't know what to do and we didn't want you getting in trouble for fighting again." Christine hesitantly replied.
James looked a Lily who had tears ready to fall out of her eyes. "I'm so sorry James; I couldn't stop him I tried." Lily started crying.
James pulled Lily into a hug. "It's alright Lily… I know I heard it all. You don't have to be sorry."
James and Sirius lead Lily and Christine back to the Heads dorms. Luckily they didn't run into any teachers or else it would have been hard to explain what was going on.
When they arrived at the Heads common room Lily and Christine sat on the couch talking to each other about what happened.
James and Sirius went into James's room to talk what to do about Ryan and Amos they couldn't have them threatening their girlfriends all year.
"We would tell a teacher."
"Then we would have to explain the invisibility cloak." Sirius reminded James.
"Oh yeah, well we could…" James looked up to see Sirius looking out the door, "what's so fascinating Padfoot?" James started moving towards the door next to Sirius.
"Shh." Sirius shushed James.
James moved to the door frame to see both Lily and Christine asleep on the couch.
"Come on lets move the to Lily's room." James whispered to Sirius.
Sirius nodded to James and they went and picked up Lily and Christine and set them on Lily's bed to sleep. They then went back to the Common Room where Sirius fell asleep on the couch and James made his way to his room to fall asleep.
The Next morning Lily woke up to hear breathing next to her. She rolled over to see Christine. Christine was still in her robes form last night so Lily assumed at she was too.
Slowly Lily lifted herself off her bed and moved down the stairs to the bathroom. She knocked on the door to make sure that no one was in there then went in to take a shower. Half way through her shower someone knocked. She screamed 'What' and the person walked in anyways.
"Hey Christine how did you sleep?" Lily asked from the shower.
Lily heard a guy's voice reply 'What' this time. Lily hesitantly turned off the water and reached out of the shower for the towel. The person in the bathroom along with her handed her towel to her.
Lily wrapped the towel around her then stepped out to see Sirius brushing his teeth.
"Sirius what are you doing in here!" Lily screamed.
"Brushing my teeth Lily." Sirius replied as if it was nothing.
"GET OUT!" Lily then proceeded to chase Sirius out of the Bathroom and into the Heads Common Room.
Christine and James both appeared at the bedroom doorways after hearing Lily scream. They both appeared confused to see Lily chasing Sirius around the Common Room with her wand.
"What is going on?" Christine as sleepily.
"He walked into the bathroom well I was showering." A fuming Lily replied.
"It's not like I saw anything I was just brushing my teeth!" Sirius protested.
Lily shot him a glare then stomped off into her bedroom. Christine shrugged and fallowed Lily back into the room.
"Lily dear may I borrow some clothes?" Christine smiled at her friend. Suddenly an outfit was thrown out of the closet at Christine.
Ten minutes both girls were changed and were fixing their hair.
"You have to admit it was a pretty interesting morning." Christine laughed.
"May be for you, but you didn't have your friend's boyfriend/ your boyfriend's best friend walk into the bathroom well you were showering. IT isn't that fun." Lily grumbled.
The two girls walked out of Lily's room to see James sitting on the couch seemingly talking to a chair.
"She won't kill you I promise." James chuckled.
"How do you know…you weren't there when she realized it was me in the bathroom and not Christine." The chair replied with a voice that sounded suspiciously like Sirius's.
"She wasn't that mad." James tried to convince the chair.
"Who knew chairs could talk with Sirius's voice." Lily said loudly interrupting James and the Chair's conversation.
"Hello Lily how are you this fine morning." James turned around and tried to distract Lily from what she had said.
"Tell Sirius to come out from behind the chair I won't kill him."
Lily heard Sirius mumble then appear from behind the chair. He looked at Lily as if waiting for her to attack him.
"Sirius I already said I'm not going to kill you."
"You're sure about that."
"No I'm not sure I just said it to lull you into a false sense of security." Lily rolled her eyes.
"Really?" Sirius gulped.
"NO!"
Together Sirius, Christine, James and Lily walked out of the Heads Dorm into the Gryffindor Common Room to wait for the rest of their friends.
