A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away

Bil Keane

---------------------

As Lily sat under the tree, panting, she got her chance for revenge sooner than she thought she would. She watched as Sirius slowly flew back towards his dorm. She pulled out her wand and just when he was close enough charmed his broom, making it come to the ground.

"Hey what the fuck is happening?" Sirius shouted and then he saw Lily.

Chapter 10 – Lily has it

"Hello Sirius," Lily said

Sirius laughed nervously and replied "Hi Lily."

"That was a really thoughtful thing you did to me today. I was just meaning to thank you for it," Lily replied, smiling a demented smile.

"About that," Sirius said, trying to regain his composure. "I didn't tell James."

"Yeah I seem to be hearing that from you a lot. What is funny though is how I didn't tell James and none of my friends did, which can only mean one thing: you told James," Lily shot back, taking a step towards Sirius.

"I swear to you Lily that I didn't," Sirius pleaded.

"Well if you didn't tell him, then how did he find out?" Lily asked.

"I don't know," Sirius replied.

"Wrong answer," Lily said, smirking.

"Look Lily, I know that this is shitty what is happening, but my best friend hates me right now and your friends don't so I don't have time to talk to you about this right now. I have better things to do," Sirius replied, getting a little mad.

"What, like punch walls? That's ok because I don't have time to talk with you either," Lily said and then she walked up so Sirius so that there was only a hair of space between them and kissed him.

Sirius, completely startled, just stood there until Lily pulled away, turned around and ran off.

"What the hell was that?" Sirius screamed after her, his words swept up in the wind.

---------------------

Lily ran down the hall. What had she just done? She had kissed Sirius. She had kissed him under a tree. She had kissed him where any one could see. She was in a fight with James and she had kissed Sirius. She didn't even like him and she had kissed him. Lily Evans had just kissed Sirius Black.

She was infamous for being collected and mostly calm. Now out of the blue she had kissed Sirius. Lily was supposed to be smart and she just did the stupidest thing a person could do. She had kissed Sirius.

Lily ran all the way to her dorm, tripping over Eva and Paige just as they revived Chloe. The girls made a huge, groaning pile on the floor.

"Lily, your elbow is in my mouth," Eva finally said.

"Sorry Eva," Lily said, moving her arm and instead hitting Paige in the boob. "Sorry Paige."

"You are crushing my ribs, Paige," Chloe finally managed to get out.

"Oops, sorry," Paige said, rolling over to the side.

The girls finally untangled themselves and sat in a circle. Sophia and Natalie entered just as Paige was about to open your mouth.

"Hey guys," Sophie giggled, then stopped when she say the grave looks on her friend's faces. Her and Natalie sat down without a second thought.

"Spill," Natalie said.

"I'm moving to California," Chloe croaked out. "My parents are making me come home for two weeks. I have to help them move. I hate them."

"Oh sweetie," Paige said, pulling Chloe into a comforting hug.

"Their timing is so bad. I don't see why they can't just move without me," Chloe said then paused looking over at Lily. "What's wrong with you Lily?"

Lily sat there with a look of satisfaction, anger, and confusion all tied into one.

"Yeah, what's up with your face?" Sophia said. "I didn't mean it that way," Sophie said when Lily gave her an astonished look.

"James and I got in a fight," Lily stated.

"Over what?" Natalie asked.

"He found out," Lily said.

"Wait, he found it out?" Sophia asked.

Lily nodded.

"Oh shit," Sophia said putting her hand to her mouth.

"Yeah," Lily agreed.

"Is that all?" Chloe asked, drawn out of her own problems for a moment.

"Umm…" Lily began and then she realized that Natalie liked Sirius. "What have I done?" Lily asked herself.

"What is it Lily?" Eva urged.

"Spill," Paige encouraged.

"Well, let's just say it was really stupid and I wasn't thinking?" Lily continued.

All the girls were getting excited. Lily didn't usually "not think."

"Continue," Eva insisted.

"No, you guys are going to hate me," Lily said, shaking her head. "I have royally jacked up this time."

"We could never hate you Lils," Natalie comforted.

"You most of all Natalie. I almost can't face the fact that I did it," Lily said.

"Well what is it? Spit it out already," Paige said, getting impatient.

"I kissed Sirius!" Lily yelled. "I mean I was just so angry and I wanted to get back at him for telling James so I decided if I kissed him then maybe James would see and be really angry with Sirius and then Sirius would feel really bad," Lily said really quickly.

By the time all the others had figured out what Lily had said, Natalie was staring daggers at Lily.

"You knew I liked him Lily Evans," Natalie said.

"I know Natalie, I'm so sorry. It just sort of happened. I wasn't thinking. I just wanted revenge. It didn't mean anything. I'm so sorry," Lily continued to insist. "Please don't be mad at me."

"How could I not be mad at you? I liked Sirius and you went and kissed him for your own selfish reasons," Natalie snarled, getting to her feet.

"Natalie please. I will do anything to make it up to you," Lily pleaded.

"I don't care what you have to say Lily Evans. I'm going to walk away right now and don't you dare follow me because in this instant I don't want to be friends with you," Natalie spit out, then turned around, opened the floor and left, slamming it behind her.

"Guys, I need therapy," Lily whimpered and then burst into tears. James was mad at her. Natalie was mad at her. Sirius…well Sirius was probably as confused as she was.

------------------

Sirius stood there. He touched his lips, the exact spot where Lily Evans' lips had been moments before. Yes, Lily Evans' lips. The Lily Evans who had broken up his friendship with James. The Lily Evans who his best friend was in love with. The Lily Evans who he had only known as "Evans." That Lily Evans had just kissed him and then run away.

-------------------

Remus sat on his bed. He had been sitting there for a good twenty minutes. Peter had come and gone, knowing not to bother Remus when he was in one of his moods.

Remus, who would have appeared dead to any passerby, finally stood up. Sitting there for twenty minutes hadn't solved anything for him. Remus decided a little mind food might do the trick and so he headed to the library. He made his way there, sitting down at one of the tables when he arrived.

Even though Sirius has yelled at Remus, Remus forgave him. He knew that Sirius didn't mean to cause any trouble. He usually only meant well. Remus in fact was beginning to wonder what had happened to Sirius. He knew that there was no way James was going to be talked out of whatever he was doing. James just needed to get over this by himself.

--------------------

Natalie headed to the astronomy tower to think over what Lily had done. Natalie knew she couldn't hate Lily forever, but at the moment she just couldn't stand to be around Lily. Yeah, Natalie had liked Sirius, but it wasn't an insane and intense kind of liking. She could get over him easily. Plus, it wasn't like Sirius was waiting around for just her. He wasn't infamous for nothing.

Natalie knew Lily didn't mean any harm. Lily was going through a difficult time, a time everyone usually experienced at age thirteen, but Lily was a late bloomer in some areas of her life.

Natalie made her way up the stairs. She slowly opened the door and to her surprise was greeted with the slumped figure of no other than James Potter.

"Oops, sorry," Natalie said, knowing James was dealing with just as much as her.

James looked up and seemed to not notice Natalie for the longest time. "No I should be heading back to my dorm. Remus will be getting worried," James said, standing.

"Seriously James, if you need to be up here, you can stay. I can go somewhere else," Natalie reassured him.

"No it's fine, I don't own the astronomy tower," James argued.

"James, I can go -," Natalie started, then stopped. She had been about to say "to my friends," but she was mad at Lily so she couldn't.

"It's ok, I don't mind if you say friends," James said.

"Well, I wasn't saying it because I can't, I got in a fight with Lily," Natalie replied.

"I know how you feel," James agreed.

Natalie walked over and sat down next to him. "Tell me about it," she agreed.

The two sat there in silence. It wasn't awkward. It was comforting. They didn't have to talk and even if they did, they wouldn't have. They were both too wound up in their own thoughts.

--------------

An hour later, Remus and Sirius both arrived back at their dorm, simultaneously. They sat down on their beds, across the room from each other. Peter was there on his bed, reading.

"Look Remus, I'm sorry for screaming at you," Sirius said.

"Apology accepted," Remus replied.

"Have you seen James?" Sirius asked.

"He hasn't been back to the room since I've been here," Peter replied.

"Oh," Sirius replied.

"If I know James, he will show up sooner or later," Remus assured Sirius.

"Yeah, you are probably right," Sirius replied.

Just then, James walked into the room and sat down on his bed, pulling off his shoes.

"Hi James," Sirius said, slightly hopeful.

"Hi Remus, I'm off to bed now, can you please tell Sirius to leave me alone." James said, and then pulled his curtains closed and pulled his blankets over him.

"Fine, just stay mad at me, James! I never even did anything! I would think for someone who claims to be my best friend, you would at least listen to my side of the story," Sirius yelled, causing James to open his curtain.

"There was no need to hear it from the horse's mouth, since I heard everything myself," James shouted back.

"Calm down," Remus warned them both.

"We are calm," they both shouted back at Remus.

"Well tell me everything you heard James," Sirius shot back. "I bet you left before I got angry at Lily and told her that she better break up with you or else I would get her back."

James was silent and then responded, "Yeah I guess I missed that part."

All of the sudden, there was a knock on the door.

"Yeah?" Remus said, standing.

"It's me, Sophia," the boys heard from across the door.

"Come in," Remus replied.

Sophie creaked the door open. "Have you guys seen Lily about?"

"No, why?" Remus asked.

"Well we sent her to see Professor Shrink (A/N – HAHAHAHA) and she never came back, so we went to see Professor Shrink and the Professor said that Lily had never arrived. We looked all over the whole school, but we can't find her. It's been almost an hour and we can't find her anywhere," Sophie replied.

"She's been missing for an hour?" Remus asked.

"Yeah," Sophia replied. "We haven't told Dumbledore yet because we were hoping you guys had some weird way to find out where she is," Sophie finished.

"Well, there is one thing we can use," Remus said, heading to James' trunk. "Sirius, where did you leave the map?"

It was silent and then Sirius whispered, "I didn't leave it anywhere. Lily has it."
