James was in a hurry, Lily noticed, as they left the entrance hall as they crossed the grounds down into Hogsmeade and the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Lily just loved days like this, the only think that was going to put and was putting a dampener on the afternoon was the prospect of talking to Jackie. As they caught up with them Lily couldn't bring herself to face her and hovered awkwardly behind James who had now started talking to Sirius. Remus fell behind with Lily (in my life I had no Remus, I walked behind them on my own, pretending to text my friend, Lindsey) and kept her company. 'Lily, there's something you should know,' Remus said slowly 'James spoke to Kirsty this morning,' 'Aha,' 'And Sadia,' Oh shit, what's she said...? 'What did they say?' Lily asked worriedly fiddling with a loose strand of red hair 'Well Kirsty told him about the dream in Divination,' 'SHE WHAT,' Remus flinched and James and the others turned round hastily to watch Lily expectantly, Lily felt furious. It was bad enough that Sadia had said she would talk to him but this was...oh this was pure hilarity. 'Well she thought you told him,' Remus said quietly, smiling reassuringly at James who was looking at Lily a little worriedly but continued to wander down the sweeping lawns of Hogwarts in the blinding sun 'and she told him you've liked him for ages like since December,' Lily was lost for words at the silliness of her best friend, surely Kirsty knew enough about Lily to know she never would have the guts to actually tell James about the dreams she's been having and the one Kirsty knew about hadn't been the first. 'I didn't,' Lily groaned 'you know me, I'm so-' 'Well I'll let you stew on ways to strangle my girlfriend as I'm sure you'd like to at this point in time,' 'Strangle? I'll bloody torture the cow!' Remus fell back into pace with the others and as they neared the entrance of the three broomsticks Jackie turned round to Lily and smiled 'You all right Lily,' 'I'm fine,' Lily said quickly and added in a sympathetic tone 'I'm sorry about this week,' 'Its okay,' Jackie said shrugging and they continued into the three broomsticks. Good, Lily thought, that's over and done with and she wouldn't have to speak to her again today hopefully and just put up with the little mutterings and mumbles between her and Nicola. At about half one Lily was left alone with James and Lily found herself feeling more embarrassed than before as they wandered out of the three broomsticks and up to Madam Puddifoots for lunch, knowing only too well that if they ate in the three broomsticks they were bound to be accosted by some annoying Slytherine fifth years who always teased them about being together. Lily had the distinct impression that both she and James wanted to avoid that particular taunt today. 'So, we can sit in silence for the rest of the year and never talk to each other again or we can clear the air now and you tell me everything,' James said pouring her out a cup of tea as she cut up her baked potato hurriedly and avoiding James' eye contact. Lily looked up quickly and stared at James for a minute, the longest time she'd looked at him all week. 'Are you sure,' she said anxiously 'I mean you promise you wont get freaked out and-' 'I promise,' James said and smiled 'though do forgive me if I laugh in places where I shouldn't' How he can talk so calmly about all this, Lily thought furiously Because, said Lilys imagination, he doesn't know what you've dreamt or does he? 'Okay well you may as well know if you don't already that I have liked you since about Christmas when you bought me that necklace and book,'
