AN: Ok hi, hope you like this newest chapter. I will apologize for my spelling, I am dyslexic and had this great spell check thing on my old laptop but I got a new one for school and I think dell thought it would be funny to give me a lemon and it's always breaking.
So I think I have been forgetting the disclaimer. So..
Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Harry Potter; I just had an idea and this is it:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius was worried, very worried. He had never seen James this angry before. He had just finished telling James and Remus about what happened to Lily when he noticed James hadn't said anything, not one 'stupid wanker' or 'bloody idiot' had come from James' mouth. Sirius looked over to where James was sitting, and was now quite afraid of his best mate.
James was fuming, he was so enraged. How could Mark think of Lily like that, how could he not see that she was perfect, and that he was lucky to date her, even for just a while. James knew that he had to calm down, there was nothing he could do now. If he did confront Mark, Lily would be upset, and James was determined to do everything to stay on her good side now.
"Come on, let's go down to dinner" Sirius said tugging on James' sleeve trying to make his best mate stop staring on the wall with hatred in his eye.
"Oh um, yeah" James said shaking his head sending his unruly black locks in to a state of even further disarray.
James, Sirius and Remus were walking to met up with Peter at dinner when they heard someone talking rather loudly from behind them.
"Yeah I just can't stand clingy women, so I told her it was time to go. Of course she begged me not to leave her, but I told her that there were at least three other girls lining up for me, and each one was better in bed then she was." The voice bragged from behind them. James turned around and saw that it was in fact Mark. James grabbed Sirius' arm and motioned for him to look down the hall. The three of them stood there in shock. Mark was standing with four other guys bragging about breaking up with Lily.
"Excuse me, who are you talking about?" James asked walking back towards them. Both Sirius and Remus tried to stop him but he was walking quickly and had something on his mind.
Mark looked down the hall and was shocked. He wanted to run but there was an audience. He hated James, the way that Lily acted around him, even when he was there, it always got to him. The fact that James could do nothing but smile and Lily would be undone, but he, oh no nothing he ever did would come close to the 'magnificent James'.
"You heard me, I dumped that mudblood so I could finally get some of those girls who have been begging me to let them in to my bad" Mark bragged slightly swaying in front of the irate James.
"James come on, he sloshed" Sirius said trying to tug James away from Mark.
"No, I think you should tell your friends here exactly what happened between Lily and you" James said ignoring Sirius' plea.
"What that I got tired of shagging that stupid chit?" He asked putting on a brave front but at the same time taking a few steps back from James.
"You had better apologize for saying those things and spreading such lies" James growled slowly walking towards him forcing Mark to back up to the corner of the hall. James looked like a predator closing in on its prey. Sirius and Remus quickly followed behind him not wanting anything to go wrong; say have a teacher find them out in the hallway.
"What, that I got tired of fucking what you can never have Jamie-boy? Mark said as his back hit the wall, he knew that this was stupid; picking a fight over the girl he dumped and with the boy that obviously liked her, this had to be the dumbest thing Mark had ever done.
Sirius and Remus heard what Mark said to James and were not at all surprised when James's fist made contact with Mark's mouth.
"What were you saying?" James asked pulling Mark up to stand on his own two feet again.
"You heard me; I got tired of fucking your leftovers" Mark said spitting out blood before James's fist could make contact with his face yet again. Sirius looked behind them the boys that Mark had been bragging to were running down the hall, probably to tell everyone what they had seen; yet knowing this school the story would get out of hand, and hopefully no one would believe it. Sirius heard James land a few more punched before he stopped his watch of the hallway to help Remus pull James away from Mark.
Mora noticed that when Sirius and Remus sat down they glanced between Lily and James, not in the normal 'we all know that you two like each other way' but as if they were worried about something. This got Mora's attention and she was trying to watch the two of them more closely but be discreet about it. But it wasn't until the end of dinner that Mora got any information; as they were leaving she caught sight of James' right hand, it was bruised and had a few cuts on it. Mora looked around their group and grabbed Sirius' arm as he walked past. She got on her tip toes and whispered to him;
"What's going on, did James get in to a fight?". Sirius looked down at her and walked a bit slower than the rest until they where out of ear shot.
"Yeah, Mark was being an ass, He was sloshed and was saying rude things about Lily, so James, well he got a bit….well a bit physical. But he wants to keep this from Lily ok?" He said as Mora nodded, she was with him on keeping this a secret.
While James was defending Lily Mora understood that her friend could just see it as an act of violence and get angry with him, and that would go against the whole plan of getting the two of them to realize that they were made for each other.
"So do you think James was acting oddly at dinner?" Lily asked as she strained up her desk. Mora looked over at her and shook her head saying:
"I think he didn't know how to act, you know now that you and Mark are no longer together." Lily looked up from her notes and thought for a minute before she asked Mora
"Do you think he really likes me, you know more than a friend and not just to get me in to his bed?"
"Yeah, I think he does, and he is trying you know. He is trying to be such a gentlemen." Mora said, Lily always asked her what she thought about James is a backwards and hypothetical way, this was the first time her friend was out right with her question.
"He is, you know, he is such a gentlemen…." Lily though about that for a moment, she wasn't upset about Mark breaking up with her, even if he did it in a very rude way. She was just hoping that Mora was not wrong about James, or else she would look like a moron when she went after the handsome boy, man, that she had been invading her dreams and fantasies for quite some time now.
