I only own my creativity

At lunch time…

"Does anyone happen to know why everyone keeps looking this way and whispering?" complained Sirius as he took another bite of his biscuit. "I feel as if we are on display at one of those muggle places with the monkeys."

"It is called a zoo Sirius." said Peter as he sat down. "Although I don't know why, maybe they are expecting something; maybe someone is planning on getting us back finally for all the pranks." Remus looked over at James to make sure he wasn't going to choke on something before he spoke.

"Oh, haven't you heard, apparently Lily and I were snogging in the hallway." Remus said lightly. Remus knew that James knew he would never go behind James' back and steal his girl, even if said girl wasn't his at the moment. Furthermore, he knew it would be best if he told James about the rumors first rather hearing them from some stupid first years.

"Remus you sly dog I hope you live to see her again" Sirius half-heartedly taunted as he leaned back in he seat, glancing between his two friends.

"I did notice you disappeared quickly after class." James said, knowing that Remus would clear things up. He trusted his friend but he still wanted to know what was going on. Remus paused to think of the best explanation since he wanted to give Lily the chance to talk to James herself like she said she would.

"Well?" asked Peter, who was always uneasy when his friends fought.

"Lily needed someone to talk to about something that was bothering her. So I was hust there to be her supportive friend." Remus answered hoping that would be enough. He hated misleading his friends but Lily needed a chance to tell James. James nodded and they all went back to lunch.

"So Lily, what is this we hear about you and Remus snogging in the hallways." Alice smiled as Lily started to turn red at the smallest of teasing.

"You know you should be more careful if you are going out with one of James' friends." Marissa tried to keep a straight face as she joined Alice in taunting Lily. "Although I had no idea that Remus would do such a thing to one of his best mates." Alice and Marissa smirked as Lily groaned. Lily got riled up rather easily which made teasing Alice's and Marissa's favorite way of getting information out of her.

"There was no snogging, not a single kiss! Not that I am unhappy with that either." Lily said as she looked pointedly at both of them, making sure that her two friends didn't start teasing her about something else. "It is incredible that my best mates would believe such hearsay."

"Aw, Lil you know we don't believe it." Marissa patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

"But it sure is fun to watch you get so upset." Alice remarked

"I hate gossip." Lily growled and snarled at a girl that was staring at her from the next table over, "What are you looking at?"

"Whoa Lily, calm down. So what were you doing with Remus in the corridors then?" asked Alice trying to distract her anger from the poor girl

"He was just giving me some advice on something that has me anxious. And no I do not want to talk about it right now." Lily then proceeded to stuff her mouth so she couldn't answer any more questions.
