Don't Let Your Guard Down
chapter 32
wow i have SOOO much work to do this weekend...so naturally, i'm not doing it. haha hope you enjoy the chapter!
Duh, I'm not JK Rowling
I wish I was
Someday, maybe I'll be famous just like her
Characters you recognize don't belong to me
Looks like I have a lot of time on my hand...unlike J.K. Rowling (with her 3 kids)
And the plot belongs to me too
I created all the characters you don't recognize from the Harry Potter books
Maybe it would just be faster to read the 31 disclaimers before this
Everyone still reading this should get on with the story
Recap: I'm not the awesome amazing J.K. Rowling
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"But it's too hard," Sirius complained, throwing his quill down.
Gigi rolled her eyes and smiled. "All you have to do is read the chapter and write a short paper on it."
"But that requires me to read," Sirius whined. "And I don't wanna."
"It also requires you to write," Gigi said.
"You're not helping."
"For every paragraph you read, I'll take off a piece of clothing…" Gigi said in a low seductive whisper.
Sirius grinned. "I love homework."
Gigi laughed and went back to writing her paper.
"I bet the rest of the library will enjoy it as well," Sirius said.
"I didn't mean I'd take my clothes off here," Gigi said, rolling her eyes.
Sirius pouted. "I hate homework."
"So what'd you tell the guys you were doing today?" Gigi asked.
"Told them I was doing homework in the library," Sirius said with a shrug.
Gigi gave him a look. "I'm guessing they didn't believe you."
Sirius paused and then shrugged. "Well yeah, when that didn't work I told them I was snogging some girl in a closet."
Gigi laughed. "That sounds more like you."
"And you know how I hate being a liar," Sirius said. "So I think we should go snog in a closet."
"And I think we should finish our homework," Gigi said.
"Hm, also a good suggestion," Sirius said. "But-"
Gigi put her hand on his mouth. "Do your homework."
"Yes mom."
Gigi rolled her eyes and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"You're too much of a distraction," Sirius said. "If you didn't wear something so hot and look so damn good, I'd be able to get homework done."
"I'm wearing robes," Gigi pointed out.
"Hot robes," Sirius corrected.
Gigi just laughed and they went back to writing and reading.
"I have a question," Sirius said, putting his quill down and gazing over at Gigi.
Gigi put her book down. "I don't know why the sky is blue, I have no idea why grass is green, and frankly, I don't care."
"That wasn't my question," Sirius said. "But I'm still waiting on answers for those."
"Ask the guys," Gigi said.
"They don't even let me ask questions anymore," Sirius said.
"Smart boys," Gigi said.
"My question was about us," Sirius said. "You actually."
Gigi looked up, obviously interested.
"Do you feel like we missed out on anything with us hating each other for a year and a half?" Sirius asked.
"Yes," Gigi answered immediately.
"Wow, that was a fast answer," Sirius pointed out, relieved that she didn't take time to think about it.
She gave him a slight smile and looked up at him. "Remember when we were in second year, or maybe it was third year, and we decided to build a snowman and the others didn't want to join us."
Sirius smiled in thought of the memory. "And in addition to the snowman, we made snowchildren, a snowwife, and two snowdogs," Sirius said, with a smile. "I get what you're saying." Sirius paused. "Wait, no I don't."
"After we made all those snowmen, we decided to try and ice skate on the lake," Gigi said.
"And you almost fell through because the water wasn't totally frozen," Sirius said with a laugh. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Making the snowfamily is something that I wouldn't do with the girls or with the other Marauders," Gigi said. "That's something only you and I would come up with. And in regards to the ice skating, without you my life hasn't been as exciting or dangerous."
"So what you're saying is that you like taking risks and you miss nearly dying by falling through ice?" Sirius asked. "Because you're going to have to wait quite a few months for the lake to freeze over again."
Gigi laughed. "I'm just saying that something was always missing without you around."
Sirius gave her a warm smile and leaned in to kiss her.
"What do you think you're doing?" James demanded to know, walking into the library.
"I swear, this isn't what it looks like!" Sirius cried out.
James, Remus, and Peter put their hands on the hips and gave him a stern look. "This is unbelievable. This is just wrong," they all exclaimed.
"Look guys-" Sirius exclaimed.
"You're doing homework," James stated. "I can't believe it!"
Remus hit James. "That's not what I was referring to."
"Uh oh," Gigi whispered under her breath.
"Okay, look, I know this looks bad but-" Sirius started explaining to Remus.
"You lied to us!" Remus cried out. "You said you would be in a closet with some girl!"
Sirius and Gigi just stared at the guys, not sure of what to say, afraid that the boys might catch on to the fact that the two of them are together by themselves.
"What are you guys talking about?" Peter exclaimed, giving James and Remus incredulous looks. "I was referring to the fact that Gigi and Sirius are hanging out together."
Sirius turned to Gigi. "You think you know someone…and then they turn out to be the smartest of the group."
"What are you guys doingtogether?" Remus asked.
"He's paying me to help him with Defense Against the Dark Arts, only reason I'm here," Gigi said.
"You mean to say that he's doing so bad in DADA that he turned to the person he hates most in the world for help?" Remus asked, obviously skeptical.
"What are the chances that you believe that?" Sirius asked.
"Whoa, what's Sirius doing in a library?" Lily asked, walking up from behind them.
"Even more questionable, what's he doing with a quill and a book open?" Kacie wondered.
"No, the question is what is he doing here with Gigi," Peter said.
"Oooh, yeah. That's a better question," Kacie confirmed, waving her finger at Peter but looking at Gigi and Sirius. "Ignore mine."
"Well the answer is obvious," Lily said.
She received blank stares from everyone.
"Clearly they are both delirious," Lily said with a shrug.
"What are the chances you believe that?" Sirius asked, pointing to Lily.
Everyone just gave him a look.
Sirius sighed. "Okay, so here's the truth," Sirius said and then took a deep breath. "Gigi was abducted by aliens."
"Yep, that's exactly what happened," Gigi said.
"We're not stupid," Remus said.
"Really?" Sirius asked. "Because you guys are really good at acting like it."
His friends glared at him.
"Not the time to joke?" Sirius suggested.
Their glares intensified.
"If I can't joke, you're gonna have to help me out," Sirius said. "Because that's pretty much all I can do."
"Hey Black," Gigi said. "Shut up."
"Good idea."
"Seriously, what's going on?" James demanded to know.
Sirius sighed. "Remember back in first year when we played our first prank on the Slytherins and they barked for a week straight and we got a huge lecture from McGonagall about how pranks are bad and Snape and Crabbe were just young boys, etc?"
"Yes…" the three boys said slowly.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with that," Sirius confirmed.
"Okay, Sirius isn't allowed to talk anymore," Lily said and then turned to Gigi. "What's going on?"
"The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor came up to me and because Black over here is a complete moron, she asked me to do her a favor and tutor Black," Gigi said with a shrug. "And it's not a complete waste of my time, because he's paying me."
"Don't take this the wrong way," Remus said. "But why the hell did the professor ask you?"
"How am I not supposed to take that the wrong way?" Gigi asked. She shrugged. "Apparently she thinks I have a knack for Defense Against he Dark Arts. And James and Lily are the top students but she figured they were already busy with Head Boy and Girl stuff."
"And ignoring each other," Peter noted. "Planning out ways to avoid each other takes up a lot of time."
"Hello?" Lily said. "We're standing right here."
Peter looked up at her. "Hi."
Lily rolled her eyes and turned to Gigi. "How come you can get Sirius into a library and to open a book, but the rest of us have to practically hypnotize him to even pick up a quill."
"Ever hear of strip studying?" Sirius asked with a grin.
"Shut up," Gigi said sternly at him.
"Will do."
"Because I'm not the kind of girl to take his crap," Gigi said. "He either does it or I slap him."
"After she takes part in strip studying," Sirius said.
Gigi gave him the evil eye.
"This is the part where you slap me, isn't it?" Sirius cowered.
Gigi glared at Sirius, pretending to be mad and then turned to the rest of her friends. "Do you want me to hit him?" Gigi asked. "Will that show you all that I still hate him and that I'm doing this just for the money?"
"No that's not necessary," Lily said as James called out, "Hell yeah!"
"I thought you were my friend," Sirius said to James.
"I am," James said and then grinned. "And as your friend, I want to see you get slapped."
"Personally, I don't think any of this is your business," Gigi said to her friends, gathering her stuff. "And I don't know why you think this stupid meeting is anything more than what it is. You guys have known us for awhile and know we hate each other, so leave it alone."
"I just have one last question," James said.
Gigi sighed, trying to act aggravated. "Yes?"
"When are you going to slap him?"
"Seriously, we're not friends anymore," Sirius said.
"Shhh, I'm waiting for an answer," James said.
Sirius got up and slapped James over the head.
"Ow!" James called out, rubbing the back of his head. "The point was to see you get slapped."
Remus glanced over at James and then slapped Sirius on the arm.
"Ow!" Sirius shouted.
"Happy?" Remus asked, turning to James.
"Hmm," James said slowly. "Could you slap him in the face—AGH!" James started running as Sirius raised his hand to James's face.
Sirius glanced at his friends. "I'll be right back," Sirius said with a sweet smile and then quickly darted away. "Get back here!"
"Guys! This is a library!" Lily cried out. "People are trying to study! You're supposed to be quiet!" Lily sighed. "Oh, who am I kidding? They're long gone."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Hey Lily?" Sirius asked, poking his head into her room. "Do you have—oh my fucking god. It looks like a tornado hit!"
Lily glanced around at her room where every piece of clothing was either on the floor, on her bed, or hanging out of her dresser.
"Coming through! Get out of the way!" Gigi cried out, practically rushing into the room out of breath. "Reinforcements are here. What so you need?"
"I have nothing to wear," Lily pouted.
"The thousands of clothes around your room contradict that statement," Sirius said.
Kacie and Gigi just stared at Lily. "You said there was an emergency."
"I have nothing to wear!" Lily exclaimed.
"I almost passed out running here," Gigi said.
"Nothing to wear!" Lily said.
"Kacie ran into a first year and knocked him over," Gigi said.
"Nothing!"
"You know," Sirius said slowly. "Wearing nothing isn't a bad idea…"
All three girls glared at him.
"So…nothing to wear huh?" Sirius cowered.
Kacie and Gigi looked up at Sirius. "Are you here to help?"
"Help you two dress Lily?" Sirius asked with a grin. "Kinky."
"Get out," Gigi demanded.
Sirius shrugged and started heading out but then he stopped and turned around. "What exactly do you have nothing to wear for?"
"A date," Lily answered, digging through the clothes on her bed.
Sirius froze. "Oh…you have a date? With who?"
"Radley Bruin."
"Oh…where you going?"
"Dinner," Lily said, distractedly looking around the room.
"What time you going?"
"What's with the questioning Si?" Lily asked. "Why do you even care who I go out with?"
Sirius shrugged. "I'm just wondering." Sirius took a look at the clothes in the corner of the room. "I'd go with a baggy sweatshirt and baggy sweatpants."
Lily gave him a look. "It's hot outside."
"Oookay," Sirius said slowly. "Baggy t-shirt and baggy sweatpants."
"And this is why you weren't asked to help Lily change," Gigi said, pushing Sirius out the door and shutting it.
"Take pictures!" Sirius called out through the door.
"Of what?" Remus asked, walking into the room eating a carrot.
"Don't you ever knock?" Sirius asked.
"You mean, do I knock when I walk into a room that doesn't belong to you?" Remus asked. "No I don't…how rude of me."
"Did you know that Lily's going on a date?" Sirius hissed, walking over to Remus.
"So?"
"A date!"
"I heard you the first time," Remus said.
"Do you know what this means?"
"That she's going to go out for dinner with some guy?" Remus asked.
"No! It means-" Sirius stopped. "Wait, that's what you consider a date?"
"Well it's better than what you consider a date," Remus said. "Alcohol, condoms, and lots of snogging."
"You forgot to say strawberries and whipped cream," Sirius said with a wink.
"Is it really a lot to ask that you keep me uninformed about your sex life?" Remus asked.
"If I didn't talk about my sex life, I wouldn't have anything to talk about," Sirius said.
"Can we get back to the problem at hand?" Remus asked.
"Sure," Sirius said. "Strawberries and whipped cream really aren't that hard to find. Just head down to the kitchens an-"
"Not that problem," Remus said. "How you think Lily going on a date is a big deal."
"It is a big deal!" Sirius exclaimed. "James will be crushed! He'll be devastated! He'll be so upset!"
"He moved on first," Remus pointed out.
Sirius paused. "Oh yeah."
"He's over Lily," Remus said.
"Oh pish posh," Sirius said.
Remus stared at him. "Did you just say pish posh?"
"I'm not sure where that came from…" Sirius noted slowly.
"So where is James tonight?"
"With Nancie," Sirius said with a shrug.
Remus turned to look at James's room with the door closed.
Sirius laughed. "No, they actually went out."
"Out out? Like he's paying for stuff out? Like they're not staying in and having sex out?" Remus asked.
Sirius shrugged. "Well to be fair, they could go out and still have sex."
Gigi poked her head out of Lily's room. "Hey, if you guys were going on a date with a girl, do you think wearing a halter top or wearing a lacy v-neck shirt is sexier?"
"I usually wear pants and a t-shirt," Remus said.
"For the girl," Gigi said, rolling her eyes.
Sirius and Remus exchanged looks. "Do we look like the kind of people who have any clue what a halter or a v-neck is?" Remus asked.
"If she wants to look sexy, tell her to wear nothing," Sirius said.
"What did they say?" Lily asked Gigi.
Gigi put her head back into the room. "They say to go with the v-neck."
"Why are you obsessing over what to wear?" Kacie asked, holding a blue shirt up to her and looking at herself in the mirror.
"Because I'm going on a date!" Lily cried out, obviously panicking.
"With a guy you don't like," Kacie noted, picking up a purple top.
"He's really nice and easy to talk to," Lily said, taking off the halter.
"And he's hot," Gigi noted. Lily gave her a look. "Hey, that's a big plus if you ask me."
"We didn't ask you," Lily said. "I mean, this is just something casual. Maybe it can turn into more."
"But I thought you wanted James back," Kacie said.
"I did," Lily said and then shrugged. "But then I thought about it and why would I want to try and get back together with a guy who has clearly moved on and doesn't want anything to do with me?"
"That's not necessarily what he thinks…" Gigi said.
"Oh, so when he told me that he doesn't want anything to do with me, he was lying?" Lily asked.
"What are the chances that you aren't being sarcastic?" Gigi asked.
Lily rolled her eyes. "This night isn't about James. It's about Radley and the fact that I have no-"
"Nothing to wear," Gigi said. "We know, we know. We heard you the first hundred times."
Kacie held up a few shirts. "Can I borrow these?"
Lily glared at her.
"I'll ask again later," Kacie said with a sheepish grin.
Sirius glanced up at Lily's door and then turned to Remus. "What do you think girls talk about when they hang out?"
Remus turned his body so he was facing Sirius. "I dunno. Make up? Hair? Cute bunnies?"
Sirius stared at him. "Wow, you don't know anything about girls."
"Hey if you asked, obviously you don't know either," Remus pointed out.
"Good point," Sirius noted and then shrugged. It grew silent for a second until Sirius mustered up the courage to ask Remus what he really wanted to know. "Do you think they talk about boys a lot? Like their boyfriends?"
"If they talk about boys half as much as we talk about girls, it's a lot," Remus said.
"But what do they say?" Sirius asked. "Because I'm guessing that talking about sex and getting laid is something only guys do."
"I'm pretty sure they don't make lists of every girl they snogged either," Remus said with a snort.
"We only did that once!" Sirius exclaimed. "And we did that only because you told us we couldn't use the parchment to throw at first years."
"And you did it anyway," Remus said.
"After we made the snog list," Sirius said with a grin.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Gigi announced.
"Uh Giliba?" Sirius said. "There are only gentlemen here."
"If you're calling yourself a gentleman, why are you playing with a fluffy pink pillow?" Gigi asked.
Sirius looked down at the pillow he grabbed earlier and gave Gigi a sheepish grin. "So…you were saying?"
"I am presenting the gorgeous Lily Evans!" Gigi exclaimed, opening the door for Lily to walk out.
Remus and Sirius dropped their jaw the moment she showed her face. She was standing there in a short jean skirt and a low cut black lace v-neck and on her feet were black sandals with thin straps. Her hair was straight and flowing down her back and Gigi did her make up so it brought out her eyes.
Sirius and Remus exchanged glances. "You can't wear that," they said simultaneously.
"Why not?" Lily asked.
"You never looked like this before!" Sirius cried out. "Not even the several months where you were dating James!"
"So?" Lily asked, obviously not caring about James.
"Lily, my guy radar is telling me right now that I want to do you," Sirius said. Gigi tried to not look annoyed at that comment. "And when my guy radar is telling me that about you, it's a sign that you need to change."
"Well sorry if I don't feel like taking your baggy sweatshirt advice," Lily said.
Remus turned to Sirius. "You told her to wear a baggy sweatshirt?"
Sirius shrugged. "Yes?"
"When a girl has a body like that, she has to flaunt it!" Remus cried out.
"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or say thank you," Lily said.
"Guys, it's just an outfit," Gigi said, rolling her eyes. "Get over it."
Remus and Sirius exchanged glances. "Oh pish posh," they both responded.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"And so that's how I met Sirius Black," Radley said with a laugh.
"You saw him skinnydipping in the lake? And you didn't go blind?" Lily asked, joining in with a laugh of her own.
Radley smiled. "Apparently he lost a bet."
"Well I'd hope he wouldn't do something like that willingly," Lily said and then paused. "But I wouldn't put it past him."
They arrived at the restaurant and were soon seated. Radley held out Lily's chair as she sat down and gave her a pat on her hand. Lily smiled up at him as he sat down across from her.
"I don't mean to be too forward, but I thought you were dating James Potter," Radley said.
Lily's smile soon faded and she just shrugged. "We're not dating anymore. It's been awhile."
"Well let me tell you, many guys were very jealous of James," Radley said. "He definitely took one of the best girls away from the rest of the world."
Lily flashed him a giant smile. "Well then I guess it's a good thing we broke up."
Radley reached over and placed his hand on top of hers. "I agree."
Lily leaned back in her chair and took a sip of water. "So what about you? I thought you were dating Ashleigh Myers."
Radley snorted. "Definitely not."
"That bad huh?" Lily joked.
Radley shrugged. "We were dating…now we're not."
"Something she did I assume," Lily decided.
"She didn't trust me," Radley said, shrugging again. "And eventually it got tiring listening to her complain to me about how I'm a liar and how I shouldn't be hanging out with any girls but her. Stupid stuff like that."
Lily grew pale, trying hard not to think about the James situation. "So…her not trusting you was that bad?"
"She accused me of cheating and lying and I just can't be with someone who can't trust me to walk down the hallway and not make out with a random girl," Radley said. Radley shook his head, deciding that he didn't want to talk about his ex girlfriend anymore. "But that's in the past. You're nothing like that."
Lily gulped and let her grab her hand again. "Yeah…not at all."
"Hey, isn't that James?" Radley asked, pointing to the entrance of the restaurant.
Lily violently jerked her head in that direction. "What is he doing here?" she hissed.
"Doing what everyone else is doing and eating dinner is a safe bet," Radley noted.
Lily could feel herself get nauseous as she noticed Nancie step beside James and place her arm around his waist. Lily turned around and faced Radley. "I'm just surprised to see him out on a date."
"Did he not take you out that often?" Radley asked, ordering some drinks for him and Lily.
"Does taking a walk around the lake count? Or how about a snogging session in the astronomy tower? Or saying he'll take you out, but then meeting up in the common room with the rest of your friends? Does that count?" Lily asked hastily. Lily sighed and bowed her head when she realized that she was ranting about her ex boyfriend to her date. "Sorry," she mumbled.
"Still a little bitter?" Radley asked.
"What gave you that idea?" Lily joked with an attempt of a smile.
"Whoa, look what we have here," James said, as he and Nancie passed by Lily and Radley's table.
Lily just gave a slight smile and noticed James tightening his grip around Nancie's waist. She rolled her eyes, "Hi."
James turned to Radley. "You're Bradley right?"
"Radley," he said.
"Of course," James said. "Lily has been obsessing about this date for so long now. It's so cute in fact."
"James," Lily warned.
"What to wear, how to act, what to say. I think she even made notecards with suitable topics," James said.
"James," Lily hissed.
James glanced at Lily. "Well I guess she got the outfit part down. What about the conversation? Were making the notecards worth it?"
Lily stood up angrily and took James arm. "We'll be right back," Lily said to Radley through gritted teeth.
Radley turned to Nancie who was now standing there awkwardly. "I'm Radley."
"I don't care," Nancie said, walking towards her table.
"Fair enough," Radley mumbled.
Lily pulled James out of the restaurant. "What the hell is your problem?" Lily asked, practically throwing him out of the restaurant and then placing her hands on her hips, staring up at him with devil eyes.
"What the hell are you doing?" James demanded to know.
"Eating?" Lily suggested. "You should recognize it. You do it ten times a day."
"But what's with the guy?" James asked.
"Sometimes while eating, I like company," Lily shot back, crossing her arms bitterly.
"So now you're…uh…dating other people?" James asked cautiously.
"What, I'm just supposed to wait around while you're off dating Nancie?" Lily cried out in aggravation, clenching her fists.
James looked up at her, a guilty look on his face. "You knew about that?"
Lily nodded. "Of course I knew. You and Nancie don't exactly have the quietest voices."
James stared blankly at her. "What the hell does that mean?"
Lily sighed. "I heard you two talking in the kitchens one night."
"Oh."
"It was nice hearing it from you, though. Thanks," she replied sarcastically.
"Oh yeah and you would have been totally supportive if I had knocked on your door one day and said 'Hey, how's it going, by the way I'm dating Nancie, how's your love life going?'" James snorted.
"I could have been supportive!" Lily cried.
James burst into laughter. "That is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've heard come out of your mouth! And that's saying a lot!"
"Hey, at least I didn't embarrass you in front of Nancie!" Lily shouted.
"Oh please, Bradley doesn't care about that," James argued. "All he's hoping for is to get you into bed tonight."
Lily let out an irritated grunt. "Radley!"
"Who's Radley?" James questioned. "Another notch on your bedpost?"
"Oh my God!" Lily asked, glaring at him. "You are so arrogant! I don't know what the hell you were doing back there embarrassing me but you are so out of line. You had no right to do that! You're the one who said we can't be friends. You're the one who can't seem to be around me and then you go and make a fool out of me in front of my date! What is your problem?"
"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but some of the customers are asking that you keep it down, so is it at all possible that you could lower your voices?" a waitress said softly, biting her lip.
"No!" James and Lily cried out, mostly angry with each other, not the waitress.
"Thanks, that's all we ask," the waitress cowered and then practically ran back into the restaurant. Lily and James walked a little farther away from the restaurant, standing in an awkward silence before Lily spoke up.
"You and I are no longer dating and apparently, no longer friends," Lily pointed out. "So how can you seriously stand here and reprimand me about dating someone else when you've been dating Nancie for two weeks now?"
"That's different," James quickly argued.
"Oh really, and how?" Lily questioned in frustration.
"You weren't supposed to find out about it."
Lily rolled her eyes and clenched her fists angrily. "You know what, James? If you can date someone else, then so can I."
James assessed her last statement and stared at her incredulously. "Wait…so you're only going out with Bradley-"
"Radley."
James rolled his eyes. "So you're only going out with what's-his-name because you found out about me and Nancie?"
"Don't put words in my mouth," Lily said immediately and bitterly. "You and I broke up. Granted, it wasn't that long ago, but you can date whoever you want. And so can I. It's what happens when you break up…you move on and you date other people."
"I don't want to date other people!" James cried out.
Lily stared at him speechless. "Uh…wh-what?"
James stopped and stared at her amazed by what he had just blurted out, trying to understand it. He told Lily they couldn't date anymore. He was the one who was hurt when she didn't trust him. So he moved on…right?
James gulped and cocked his head to the side. "I…I don't know."
"What about Nancie?" Lily asked cautiously.
"I don't know."
"So…do you mean you don't want to date other people? Or you don't want me to date other people?" Lily asked, trying to clarify.
"I don't know."
"What do you know?" Lily demanded to know.
"Yellow and blue make green," James answered immediately, immediately regretting trying to make light of a conversation that was anything but.
"You are impossible!" Lily exclaimed. "I don't know why I'm bothering to try to understand anything you say because in the end, you never mean it. I'm going back to my date and I suggest you do the same."
"Lily, wait-" James said.
"No," Lily said, whirling around. "I've waited around for you…..for two months. And clearly you moved on. I think its time you finally let me move on too."
"You don't mean that," James said lamely.
Even though Lily knew he was right, she refused to let him know it and she walked away from him and into the restaurant, leaving a very confused and helpless James standing in the middle of Hogsmeade.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
will the group EVER find out about Gigi and Sirius? Will Lily ever admit/realize that she's meant to be with james? Will James break up with Nancie and try to get back with Lily? Will I finish all the work I have this weekend (oops...how'd that question get there?)
Review to find out! (about everything except my work...i'm sure you don't really care) :o)
