Chapter 4
The next few months went by quickly. With Casey dating James, Lily had more time to study. Though it was good for her grades the whole thing was quite depressing. She was careful to avoid James. When she did hang out with someone it was generally Sirius. Due to the fact that everyone else was busy, even Peter who had failed a class and had detention every night for the rest of the year. Though Sirius wasn't Casey, Lily could put up with him. And quickly it was Christmas time. Casey was going home to see her sisters. Remus and Peter also intended on going home. Sirius had as usual decided to stay and James with him. Though Lily could have gone home she decided last minute to stay, and study.
"Morning Lily." Sirius said barely looking up from his food. Almost no one had decided to stay, so Lily was stuck sitting with Sirius and James. "Let me guess Evans, you plan to spend you break studying." James said rolling his eyes. They had been back to a last name basis for a while now. "Yes Potter I do. It couldn't hurt you to do the same either. If I heard correctly you haven't been doing to good in Potions lately." Lily said, feeling a little smug. Sirius found this quite funny, and started to laugh. After he finally got control of himself he said between laughs, "To much quality time with Casey?" he said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. This of course set him off again; Sirius always seemed to find his own jokes the funniest. "Well I think we should show Evans what a good time is." James said smiling. "That's a good idea. How about it Lil, a whole week without any studying? Sound just even a little bit tempting?" Sirius said, starting to laugh again. "It will be much easier just to go along with you too, than try to study around you, I suppose. Probably a lot Better for my health too." Lily said, laughing in spite of herself. The next two days were spent being filled up with snowball fights, exploding snap, and lots of exploring. Lily hadn't had so much fun in a while. Finally it was Christmas Eve. They had been playing exploding snap in the common room and it was almost midnight. "Well I'm going to bed. I have to be up by six, to scream at James to get his lazy ass out of bed." Sirius said making Lily laugh. "So how's the whole relationship with Casey thing going?" Lily asked trying to make conversation. It was the first time they had been alone all week. "Casey's nice, A little annoying sometimes, but nice. I've been ok going out with her." James said smiling. For Casey's Sake, Lily was sad about James answer. For her own though she was happy "James?" Lily asked. He turned to look at her. He had a look on his face that made Lily suddenly feel funny. He never answered her though because they had begun to kiss passionately.
Sirius was psyched! It was Christmas. "James, James, James!" Sirius yelled in his usual fashion. "Its bloody Christmas morning, get up! You have presents!" Still no response. Finally after a few more attempts he went to open the curtains, but James wasn't there. "Bloody Bastard, Probably already went down to get breakfast." Sirius said under his breath.
"Holy Fucking God!" was what James was awakened to on Christmas morning. The yell had been uttered by Sirius black. It was relatively reasonable for him to be screaming. Even James could admit the situation did not look good. He and Lily were lying on a couch together. There shirts were missing. "So you want to explain yourself?" Sirius said. "Nothing really happened. Besides I was going to break up with Casey anyways." James said. It was then that Lily woke up. She was tired and it took her a minute to figure out what was going on. It was then she realized she was on the couch topless with James. And Sirius was standing over them. She screamed, and quickly folded her hands across her chest. "O my God! Both of you close your eyes now!" Lily said panicking. "You know Lily all that's sticking out I saw last night." James said. Lily glared at him causing him to shut up. "Trust me I don't want to see that! You're like a sister to me." James said, eyes still shut "If it were any other situation right now I would find that comment sweet but for now, shut the fuck up!" Lily said. And with that she stomped off towards her room. Lily spent the rest of the morning hating herself. Her only constellation was that she hadn't slept with him. She had promised herself she wouldn't do this and now it had happened. It wasn't until around noon that Lily realized she hadn't opened her presents yet. She received: from her parents some new cloths, from her sister a new journal, from Casey a book on new charms, from Krishna a bracelet, from Remus a new quill, from Sirius a plushy house elf that sang Christmas carols, and a lot of other small presents from other friends. It was then she noticed a final present resting on her pillow. IT was a small brown package with a scribbled note attached to it that read: Lily, This is my last attempt and showing you how I feel. I broke up with Casey a day ago (I'm writing this Christmas Eve) and I bought you a present. I hope you like it. Love James. Lily couldn't believe it he hadn't been cheating on Casey. It still didn't make her feel any better though. She sighed and opened the package. A necklace fell out. It was a gold locket and was encrusted with emeralds. Lily couldn't believe it. James had bought her something and for once she liked it. She still didn't know what to do about Casey. And that was what really upset Lily.
