Remus in fact was not out by lunch or dinner that night. He did nothing but groan and beat himself in the head with a book of spells, dropped off by Sirius, which didn't achieve anything except keep him away from Lily because Madame Pompfrey tried to keep the pain from setting in with healing draughts. Which succeeded finally to rendering Mr. R. J. Lupin to a slightly euphoric state of being, if you didn't agree with euphoria drugged out of his wits would work just as well.
He stumbled his way back to the Gryffindor Common Room giggling the whole way. After getting yelled at by portrait after portrait, except one depicting a pub full of Irishmen having a merry old time, who egged him on and got the boy to sing a rowdy fold song with then, even though it was slightly off key.
The prefect hiccupped loudly willing his eyes to focus on a rather disturbing picture of a rather large, okay fat, lady. 'Man why do we have a tub of lard for out portrait. Hee-hee, lard, and gross!' he thought snorting loudly but a shrill voice interrupted him.
"Kind sir if you would please state the pass word or let me continues with my beauty sleep?" At her comment he sighed and said the password groggily or what he thought it was anyway. "BLOODY FLYING HIPPOGRIFFS!" he announced proudly and walked smack into the picture frame, as he must have somehow expected it to open. "What's the big idea? I've had a hard day, MOVE!"
"Well obviously I would have if that was the right password! And never in my life! How dare you use such language!" but her rant was interrupted Sirius, who had discovered the scene and doubled over with laughter.
"Dancing Hippogriffs." He corrected as the picture unwillingly swung open still grumbling in protest at being yelled at by Remus."Come on Moony, let's go mate, inside…upsy-daisy." The handsome boy chided placing his hand on his friends shoulder, ushering him inside the warm room.
"Padfoot, I ruined it, she hates me!" Remus wailed helplessly. "Who hates you Moony?" Sirius questioned wearily, wanting desperately to break James down to understand this whole thing was Lily's fault in order to keep the Marauders together. "Lillian Marie Evens that's who!" he cried in somewhat exaggerated anguish. Sirius winced but let his friend continue,
"Oh, my heart hurts buddy, but the Marauders will stay together and strong!" he stated proudly, pumping his fist in the air in a sloppy manner. Remus' voice had wilted toward the end so Sirius had his arms out and waiting to catch his friend as he fell,
"Why she let you leave the infirmary, I don't know..." Sirius struggled as he dragged Remus to the plush, red couch, but finally managed. 'Remus, mate, what am I going to do with you!"

Lily fought the tears that stung her eyes, her hard heeled shoes clacked angrily as she ducked back into the Great Hall for Dinner still mulling over what had happened, most ignored her entrance but James didn't, he glared but his expression changed to shock as Lily stood next to him her eyes shining with tears, her skin blotchy, and her hair messed from her anger, but she couldn't look more appealing to James.
"Pot-I mean James, you should thank your friend Remus, and I just wish he wasn't so damned loyal, but fine if he doesn't want to be with me, and then maybe I should give you you're chance. But you get one." She finished biting her lip glaring at him slightly, not knowing why she had done this?
To make Remus jealous?
Definitely.
James' face lit up as he jumped up and pulled Lily into a gently a hug, "You won't regret it Lily…I promise." He muttered inhaling the scent of her hair. The surprise of him actually not trying to jump her made her smirk but she pulled away, "Don't tell me show me…" she muttered before glancing around before walking back out of the hall after gathering her things.

Remus sat up, taking in his surroundings of the Common Room slowly, his brain still foggy. 'What the bleeding...' he sighed and massaged his temples before leaning against the couch and groaning, missing the entrance of a favorite red head.
"Remus?" she asked coldly, "Are you alright?"
"Fine. Fine..." he muttered.
"You don't look it by the way." She snapped sitting next to him and raising an eyebrow, since when was Lily this cold to him?
"Just so you know, I'm going out with James now. Thought you should know." And with that she sauntered up to her dorm.
'No, no, no!" he thought his mouth hanging open feeling like the knife through his heart was being twisted hatefully, someone up there hated him with a passion…How could she just turn away from him like she didn't care about him?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If only he had paid more attention, to see how fast the tears fell when she turned, or how much she sobbed before falling asleep that night…
