'Padfoot, I'm doomed,' James moaned softly as they sat around the breakfast table in the Potters small and quaint kitchen, 14-year-old Rose was tucking into a plate of what had been for the past for weeks carrot sticks and celery but now it was back to normal. Her plate was full to bursting with eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes and toast. Sirius was having pancakes piled on his cake when he tried to help James in his predicament.
'Look at it this way,' Sirius said slowly 'you've told her you don't like her that way so just leave it at that and try not to broach the subject with her, if I know Lily then she'll be dying of embarrassment at this moment in time,'
'Yeah, that's the best way,' James said firmly, lie was always better when you had Sirius with you and he made James problems seem much less.
'School on Monday, up for it then?' Rose said to Sirius, who she had taken quite a shine to recently, though spent much of her time arguing with him over who was going to win the Hogwarts Quidditch cup as Rose was in Hufflepuff.
'As ever,' Sirius said confidently 'and for the cup, we're already three hundred points in the lead, you haven't got a chance in hell,'
'Meet you there and we'll see who wins the cup,' Rose said threateningly, earning her a disapproving look from her mother.
James retreated upstairs quickly, he would write to the only other person he knew that knew Lily best and that was Kirsty Dawson, he wrote a letter quickly.
Dear Kirsty,
I suppose you've heard about what Lily has said to me. What do you think?
James
He had to send it now and he did so with his sisters owl, Gretchen, who was super speedy at deliveries and knew the path to Kristy's hair like the inside of her tail feather.
Kirsty Dawson was with Remus Lupin. No problem with that, and they were enjoying their first breakfast as an engaged couple when Gretchen flew in through the window. Kirsty hadn't told Lily yet as Remus had proposed sometime during the night after Lilys little predicament, he had proposed so lovingly and tenderly between their frantic kisses.
Kirsty opened the letter quickly and when she read it she stifled a laugh and then became annoyed, stamping her foot angrily on the ground in frustration and Remus asked her what was wrong.
'Lily, she told him, oh god she has told him everything!'
'Oh dear,' Remus said quietly as he had read the letter too 'well I wouldn't want to be either of them come Monday morning,'
MONDAY MORNING
James had had a long conversation with Jackie, Kirsty hadn't replied, Jackie was now worried too and suggested that Lily might want to split his Jackie's such strong friendship up. This made matters more complicated.
Lily didn't want to leave her house, not one bit, but Kirsty had turned up at the crack of dawn to ensure that Lily came back to Hogwarts, it took three attempts to get her actually out of her room before she would face either Kirsty or Remus. Lily wasn't confident, not at all and was worried out of her mind on what James was going to now say to her when she met him at the station.
