Sirius POV

I went down to breakfast early, hoping no to run into James. I couldn't take anymore of his anger, every word pierced through me like bullets. Why? Why did I have to get myself involved?! All the way down the corridor I hoped someone would come out and hex me, put me out of my misery. Maybe then James would forget about this and help me! I looked around, no luck. Everyone was either sleeping or eating already.

When I entered the Great Hall I immediately saw Lily, her eyes were red and puffy, not to mention the dark circles underneath. What the hell was she upset about? It was her decision, her fault! I felt myself glare at her as I sat down on the other end of the Gyffindor table. She looked back at me, pleaded me to understand her. Why should I? She is the reason my best frien- I mean my ex-best friend- well, the reason for that. I thought Lily and James would last forever, they were so perfect for each other. I can't help but think it won't hurt to try to understand...

I walked over to her side of the table and sat next to her. She tried to smile a little, but I just stared at her.

"It wasn't what it looked like," She started to say. I gave her one of my 'Oh really?' looks.

"Then tell me what really happened." I said. Tears started to fill her eyes.

"I was in the girls common room, about to sleep, when I noticed a note on my pillow. I thought maybe it was a love note from James, so I opened it.

It read:

"Dear Lily,

I need to talk to you. We can't avoid each other forever, and it's important. Meet me in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom at 1:30 a.m.

-Severus

"When I finished reading the note I was angry, I mean, how dare he not apologize for two years! Now, he wants to talk to me? I told myself not to do it, but part of me missed him."

The tears in her eyes were now streaking down her cheeks, making her eyes look even more brilliant. I suddenly realized why James likes her so much--

Shut up! James is mad at you enough!

"I mean, he was my best friend." She continued. "So I met him there. We argued for several minutes, I was yelling at him. He was telling me to join the Death Eaters, to follow Voldemort. I refused. Then he, told me he loved me and kissed me."

As she spoke I could feel myself falling for her. She sobbed into my shoulder as I tried to comfort her. What was James thinking? She didn't know he was going to kiss her! I felt this urge to hurt Snape for the things he did to her.

"So you don't like Snape?" I asked, clarifying. She shook her head.

"Not after what he did to --"

Loud laughter erupted from the Slytherin table. We turned around to find Snape, Crabbe, Goyle, Malfoy, and a chubby kid that looked a lot like--

"Wormtail?!" I shouted across the room.

The boy turned around horror-eyed to face me. That son of a bitch. I glared at him as he made his way over to us.

"What the hell were you doing with them?!" I demanded. He hesitated for a moment, avoiding my eyes.

"I-um- they were tutoring me." He lied. I rolled my eyes.

"That's funny because last year James was head boy, not them. Why didn't you ask James?" I pointed out. He stuttered.

"W-w-ell he just seemed so busy."

"You and I both know James would always make time to help his friends." I smirked knowing he was cornered.

"Come with me." He pulled me away from Lily, to the corner of the Great Hall. His eyes seemed black and colder then ever before.

"Listen," He hissed at me. "If you tell James I've been hanging around the Death Eaters I will tell him how you feel about and what you were doing with Lily."

What? Who is he? This can't be Wormtail can't it? And what does he mean I feel about her? How does he know?

"I saw the way you looked at her. From across the room you can tell." He was the one smirking now. My mouth dropped, what seemed like 10 feet.

"Tell anyone and I'll tell your secret." He threatened and walked back to his table.

What the HELL!?!?

I felt an arm on my shoulder, and I rushed around to see a face I was relieved to see.

"Lupin?" I tried to smile. He put his arm on my shoulder as we walked back to the Gryffindor table.

"I'm sorry James was being so tough on you. Oh and have you seen Wormtail? He wasn't in the dorm room when I woke up."

I glanced at Wormtail from the corner of my eye.

"No idea." I lied. "And its okay about James, I talked to Lily, it was all Snape's fault, she didn't want to kiss him."

He sighed. "Good luck convincing James that."

I grimaced at the thought. "Thanks."
