Lily stood there in the corridor, watching the space where Sev once was. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Lily, I didn't mean it!" James was saying. "Why do you feel like you have to be kind to him?"
"I don't feel I have to, I know I have to." She turned on James, making him back against the wall. "Who else does he have to defend him against people like you!" she began to yell. James was now standing, back against the wall, with Lily inches from his face.
"Damn I could just kiss you now." James said softly. Lily slapped him hard across the face and stormed up to the Gryffindor tower.
Lily sat on her bed, she was holding a scrap book, full of pictures of Sev. Tears began to roll down her cheeks. If only he knew how much I love him. Lily closed the book and placed it back under her pillow.
