Michael Lily

Lily and Michael walked side by side holding hands on the way to breakfast. None of them had said a word to each other so far and every time they looked at each other they both turned away, blushing. They hadn't been this uncomfortable since they first got together in Lily's 4th year.

Suddenly Michael pulled her to the side and leaned down towards her and whispered:

"We need to talk"

"I know we do, I was the one who suggested it" Lily said anxiously "and we need to get to breakfast now so let's just go…" Lily let go Michael's hand but he didn't let go of hers, in fact, he held it tighter than ever.

"We need to talk now!" he said, his voice rising. Lily looked at him as if to say "how dare you talk to me like that"

"I know…" Lily looked down at her feet and tried to figure out what she was going to say to him.

"What's wrong with us?" said Michael looking at her with a touch of sadness in his eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with us… we just have some problems" mumbled Lily.

"So what's the deal?" Michael said quickly after having kept quiet for a while.

"What do you mean?" Lily looked up with a look of bafflement. "You're not actually saying it's my fault?"

"Well you're acting weird and I mean you're just always in a mood" the moment the words had slipped out of his mouth he regretted it.

"I don't need this Michael" Lily ripped her hand from his tight grip and ran from the crime scene.

"Sod it!" Michael punched the wall and then walked after Lily yelling "Lils! Come on! I didn't mean it that way…Lils!"

James Sirius Lily

As James and Sirius were sitting in front of the fire preparing to get started on their homework.

"Why are you smiling mate?" Sirius looked curiously are James.

"Oh it's just…"

"Lily Evans?" Sirius smiled.

"Yes?" unfortunately Lily had been sitting in the arm chair behind them day dreaming.

"AH!" Sirius was so taken aback he fell of the couch.

"What do you want?" Lily's eyes were full of tears and her hair was messy. She had been sitting there since their last lesson, when she had broken down and started violently crying. She had been excused by Professor McGonagall and had run straight to Gryffindor tower.

"Are you alright?" asked James. He hated seeing her sad.

"Do I have to include you in everything, Potter?" Lily stood up swiftly and ran up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.

"What's wrong with her? She seems a bit grumpy" Sirius stood back up again and sat on the couch looking bewildered.

"I dono" mumbled James. Even though he wasn't showing it, he was breaking a little inside.

"For what it's worth, I don't think she's worth what you're going through" said Sirius sympathetically. Sirius had been watching James for the past weeks and he didn't like what he had seen.

"I miss you" said Sirius.

"What are you talking about?" James looked at him, confused.

"I miss the old you" Sirius mumbled, embarrassed.

"I don't get it, you're not making any sense" James was trying to avoid this becoming an uncomfortable situation.

"Actually he is making sense" Remus had just come in through her portrait hole. "You have been acting really strange for over a month, and I know that it's because of Lily"

"Its not…" but James couldn't continue. He knew they wouldn't believe him if he said it wasn't about her.

"Come on mate, talk to us" Remus went over to the couch and sat down next to James looking at him with sympathy.

"I…" but he was cut of by a soft knocking on the window. Outside the window stood a big black owl with a letter tied to its leg.

Lily Molly

Lily entered the girl's dormitory where Molly was already lying on her bed reading 'The Lord of the Rings'.

"Its so funny reading a book about magic that some random muggle wrote…tut, tut, tut, he has much to learn" Molly laughed to herself, looked up at Lily with a smile, which quickly got wiped of when she saw how Lily was looking at her.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh Moo!" she exclaimed as she hurried over to Molly's bed and sat down. Molly pulled her into a hug and whispered:

"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but you should know, it's going to get better a lot faster if you let it out in the open"

"Moo… I'm a horrible, horrible person" Lily sighed as she pulled out of the hug and wiped her eyes.

"Don't ever say that!" Molly looked at Lily with obvious disappointment in her eyes. "Never, ever say that again" she said as she grabbed a tissue from the tissue box on her nightstand and started wiping off the make up that had run down her cheek.

"I'm serious, I literally hurt people. On the first day of school I broke your nose and scratched you so deep that you started bleeding, the same morning I almost broke James' foot, on Monday in the library I stood up too quickly, without knowing Professor Slughorn was standing behind me and I knocked him over and he ended up dropping all the potions he had been carrying at the time, and yesterday I accidentally dropped my book and, unfortunately, Charles Boby was just walking past and he tripped on them and fell down the stairs. I even hurt people emotionally." Lily was talking so fast, Molly had to concentrate with all her might to understand her. "This morning when I had the one chance to talk to Michael I ran off leaving him there with a broken heart, and every day for the past 5 years and 31 days I've tortured James, I've teased him, I've made him believe I hate him, I've hurt him in most ways possible when really all I wanted was to tell him I've loved him since the first time I saw him" Lily immediately regretted what she'd said. Molly looked at her confused but in a tenth of a second the corners of her mouth bent upwards and a smile spread across her face that was bigger than anything Lily had ever seen.
