Sirius was flipping threw on of Remus' muggle fashion magazines when he noticed the piece of parchment that Mora gave him had words appearing on it. He quickly picked it up, "Lily is going to try and break up with Mark, but tell James to back off, she will need a bit of time" Sirius got out of his bed and put the parchment in his trunk. Honestly what good did that do, he knew that Mora was just trying to be helpful, as was he. But to just wait around, that was what James had been doing, the best thing he could do is just make sure that James didn't do anything thing stupid to fuck it up, like he managed to in the past.
Lily and Mora were in the library that night trying to finish a 20 inch essay due in herbology.
"Ok the definition of the root is only two inches, how can I write ten times that?" Mora complained flipping through another plant and gardening book.
"Just write it, and you can't write that big" lily said looking over at Mora's paper. She knew she was being snippy she had been that way all day. She was preoccupied, she was trying to find a way to tell Mark that things were over, she just wanted to get it over but she hadn't seen him all day.
"It's like he knows what I'm going to do and he is avoiding me" Lily said out loud
"We will find him soon, just don't worry about it" Mora said, they had to find him soon, I mean they saw him everyday. Mora looked up and noticed Sirius and Remus at another table further in the library she decided to go and talk to them.
"Be right back" She said to Lily as she got up.
"What going on?" Sirius asked her and she sat down in the chair next to him.
"Hey have either of you guys seen Mark around?" She asked, he lived in the same side of the dorm as them, maybe they knew where he was.
"No, why are you looking for him?" Remus said looking over to where Lily was working on her paper. "I think he is with his girlfriend" He said looking back to Mora. Sure enough there he was talking with Lily. Lily looked over at Mora pleading her ot come back to their table. Mora excused herself from the two boys and walked back to her original table.
"Well the boys where no help with the essay" She said plopping down in her chair pretending to go back to work.
"Oh, really? I'm sorry." Lily said looking up at Mark who seamed a bit angry that Mora had interrupted their conversation
"Oh, hi Mora" he said, the annoyance very clear in his voice.
"Hi-ya Mark" she said overly enthusiastic in her cheerfulness "Did I interrupt something? I can leave" She said reaching to all the books on the table and made a large pile and attempted to pick it up.
"Oh don't worry Mora, we are going for a walk you stay here I will be back in a while I don't want to get behind on my essay she said. "Come on Mark we can finish talking outside" Lily led Mark out of the Library and towards the Quidich field. Mora sat in her seat debating weather or not she should follow them when Remus sat down at her table
"Don't worry about It" He said, she was about to ask him what he meant when she noticed Sirius walking out of the library towards the Quidich field as well.
"Oh, good to know he's on top of it" She said un-stacking the books on the table.
It had not been all that long when Mora noticed Lily walk back in to the Library with Sirius, at first Mora was worried the Sirius had been caught snooping, but she notice that it seamed that he was comforting Lily. Mora looked over to Remus but he just shrugged his shoulders. She got up and walk over to Lily and Sirius
"What happened?"
"I was telling Mark about how, you know how I wanted to break it off, and he started to talk about how he never liked me, about how he had been trying to dump me for weeks but I never got the hint, and how he was glad to get rid of such a prudish and annoying girlfriend" Lily was shocked, while she no longer really had any feelings for Mark, what he said still hurt her.
"Loser, he was just trying to bring you down with him, he probably saw that he was about to get dumped and instead he switched the roles, he is such a stupid prick" Mora said getting angry, she had never really like Mark but now she really had something to hate about him.
"Hey I'm the one that stupid wanker dumped, not you Mora." lily said laughing, Mora was always standing up for her and she was just glad that it was over between Mark and she. Now she could start over, with some one else. Some one nice, smart, carefree and yet mature, some one who could make her laugh, but also take her seriously……..but after making a mental list of the things her 'perfect' guy would have Lily found that she kept on repeating one simple sentence in her mind; "Don't think of James, don't think of James, don't think of James." followed by "Stop thinking about James, stop it"
