Chapter 6 Caught

It had been three days since Lily had told them about the dream.

"Have you made up your mind," Sirius asked on the third night.

James had been changing his mind every hour. Sirius turned in his bed to face James.

"She needs to know," James said.

Sirius felt that this was James final decision.

"Very well then," he shrugged.

James turned in time to find Sirius turning his back to him.

"I'll accept whatever the Ministry wants to do with me," he said.

Sirius sighed and turned back around.

"Listen, I'm not trying to stop you, but if you're supposed to be married, can't you wait? I mean, you two haven't even started dating," he said.

James sat straight up.

"Exactly my point. If I tell her now, she has the option of not being with me. She can get out before anything starts," he said.

Sirius laughed and also sat up.

"Hate to break it you, mate, but it started the moment you two met," he said.

James exhaled loudly and let his head hit the pillow.

Sirius and James found Lily was not yet at the park. However, Snape was all ready there, waiting for them.

"I've been waiting for you, Potter," Snape said.

James have a smirk and walked up to Serverus.

"Have you no," he asked.

The two looked each other up and down, wondering if to pull their wands out.

"I can't let you tell her," Snape said.

Snape looked down and laughed. Sirius looked over at James, but James never met his gaze.

"Is that so? And how exactly do you plan on stopping me," James asked.

Snape pulled out his wand. James pulled out his wand before Sirius had a chance to stop them. Then there was a loud gasp. They turned to find Lily looking at them, fear in her eyes.

"Lily…" James began.

She stepped back as James walked towards her.

"You… you're mocking me," Lily said.

Her eyes began to get glossy. Sirius gave a nervous look at James.

"No, it's…" James began.

Snape was shaking his head as James tried to explain to Lily.

"I can't believe I even told you about the dream," Lily cried.

Sirius and James glanced over at each other as Lily turned and began walking away.

"Lily, just let me explain," James begged.

She stopped and slowly turned, but James knew it wouldn't be for long.

"I thought you were better than that," Lily said.

She turned back around and walked out of the park. Sirius turned angrily at James and Snape, who still had their wands in their hands.

"Put those away now! Before any more Muggles see them," he said.

Snape and James looked over at each other and then put their wands away.

"Now you've done it," Snape said as he turned to also leave.

James started towards him.

"Done what? It's you…" he began.

Snape turned to retort, but Sirius was coming up on them.

"Will the both of you shut up! You're both to blame," Sirius said.

James looked down as Snape walked away.

"You're right, Sirius. I'm sorry," James apologized.

Sirius gave a small laughed and shook his head.

"I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to," he said.

James looked up and nodded.

James couldn't sleep that night, and Sirius wasn't really helping matters.

"I can't believe…" Sirius began.

James gave a frustrated sigh. This had been at least the thirtieth time that night Sirius had said this.

"How many times must I tell you what a git I was," James asked.

"You…" Sirius began.

James rolled his eyes.

"I wasn't thinking. That's not how I wanted her to find out," he said.

James lay back down, looking up at the ceiling.

"You and Snape could have been expelled," Sirius said.

James smiled seeing that Sirius was concerned about things like being expelled from school. Then something hit him.

"She still doesn't know," he said, sitting stay up.

Sirius lowered his eyebrows and looked over at James.

"What," he asked.

"Lily still doesn't know that we're wizards," James said.

Sirius's face became stern.

"And that's how it's going to stay for a while after today, right," he asked.

James looked away, not answering.

"Right," Sirius asked again loudly.

James sighed and turned back to Sirius.

"I can't promise you that," he said.

Sirius laughed and let his head hit the pillow.

"What has she done to you," he laughed.

Will James keep his mouth shut?
