"So… Lily…" Remus started as he watched the red head glare at him.
"No Remus. I havent talked to her yet." Lily said venomously as she glared at Remus.
"Why not?" Remus asked, a small smile playing on his lips as he looked over at the enraged girl.
"Because every time I want to talk to her she is with Sirius." Lily grumbled. Remus followed her gaze and watched as she glared daggers at both Sirius and October.
"Well ask her for a moment of her time." Remus suggested and watched as Lily huffed.
"I've tried. She always says that she's too busy. Then she goes running off with Sirius laughing and giggling and never doing anything of great importance. I don't think she wants to be my friend anymore." Lily sighed as she turned her gaze towards Remus. Remus could tell that unshed tears lay behind her eyes.
"I'm sure she does Lily. She is probably just still feeling a little betrayed. I'm sure she will talk to you at some point though." Remus said, resting a reassuring hand on Lily's shoulder.
"I hope you're right Remus." Lily said as she pulled away from his hand and walked off towards the dormitories.
October, on the other end of the grounds, watched as Lily walked back into the castle.
"Why don't you just talk to her already?" Sirius asked as he watched Lily retreat back into the castle also.
"Because what she did was wrong. I think she deserves to suffer for a little bit before I forgive her." October said, a wicked smile crossing her face. Sirius shook his head in disbelief.
"October, that's just cruel. She's tried apologizing to you plenty of times. I forgave Remus for what he did to me." Sirius said as he stood in front of October and placed both of his hands on her shoulders.
"I know but I'm not you Sirius. I hold grudges because of my father. Try growing up with someone who beats you everyday and once the trust is broken it takes awhile to come back." October said as she let a few tears fall down her face.
"I know October, but Lily was there with you the first months of school. She was there for you every time we fought. She deserves for you to be with her now." Sirius said and he watched as October nodded, understanding what he was saying.
"I guess you're right. I'm just afraid that she's going to end up doing something like this again. I don't want to start talking with her and trusting her just to have her betray me." October spoke as she rested her head on Sirius' shoulder.
"I know but sometimes you just have to take those risks. The school year is ending in a few months. Do you really want to go back home without her as a friend?" Sirius asked as he placed his hand on the back of her head.
"I guess you're right. What should I get her for Christmas?" October asked. Hearing her say that caused Sirius to break out in a huge smile.
"I don't know. But if you want I can help you think of something." Sirius offered and October nodded into his shoulder.
"Yeah, I would like that. Hopefully I can think of something good for her." October sighed as she lifted her head off of his shoulder.
"You'll get the perfect idea. I promise." Sirius said as he draped and arm over her shoulder and began to walk back into the castle with her.
