Cam had avoided Lily like the plague; though it wasn't exactly like Lily had decided to seek him out.

She hadn't spoken to the girls about her problems. Part of her felt guilty for this, but the she also thought it would be selfish of her to burden her friends with a thing like a minor tiff with Cam.

Lily was walking to Transfiguration, alone, and as she rounded a corner she saw ahead of her Cam talking to none other than the ice queen herself, Laura.

'No time like the present', she thought as she made her way over to the two of them. She not only wanted to patch things up with Cam, but also to make sure Laura wasn't sinking her claws into her boyfriend.

"Hey Cam." Lily smiled as he turned to her, not returning the gesture. She could feel the smirk Laura had on her face, and she resisted the urge to slap it off.

"Listen, Cam we need to talk."

"Well, excuse you for being so rude. In case you hadn't noticed Evans, we were in the middle of a conversation." Laura said smugly.

"And in case you haven't noticed, this is my boyfriend, and I doubt he even wants to be seen next to you." Lily snapped.

"No, actually I am having a conversation with her, so if you don't mind Lily…" Cam said

Lily stared, quite taken aback that her boyfriend had gone against her.

"Thank you Cam," Laura smiled sweetly. Lily had to stop herself from gagging. "Bye then, Evans." She made a shooing motion with her hands.

Lily looked towards Cam expectantly, waiting for him to get over this childish stage. He would come through for her, she knew he would, he could never stand back and watch her enemy push her out. He was too nice for that. This was Cam we were talking about. Lily's Cam!

Moments passed and Cam didn't move, or make eye contact with her whilst Laura audibly sighed and turned to Lily, frustrated. "Evans, you are being mighty clingy, and rude, so if you don't mind… Sod Off. Haven't you got James' arse to lick?" she added, in a mocking voice.

"Cam?" Lily muttered, visibly deflating. He didn't turn to her though, didn't acknowledge her. "Can you meet me outside the library at seven? We need to talk. Please."

He gave a very slight incline of the head, and Lily turned and walked off, fighting the horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach. Never did she ever think that her boyfriend would rather spend time with her enemy than her. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got; it was only a matter of hours before Lily would get severely pissed off.

.x.

"Hey Lils, what's up?" Riley asked

"Nothing."

"Wow, that's believable," Cassie replied sarcasticly.

"There is nothing wrong with me; I'm trying to take notes, which by the way you should be doing too," Lily snapped

"Lily, we've been your best friends for seven years! We know you better than you know yourself so don't give us that," Riley insisted, "We know something is bothering you."

"Obviously you don't know me that well, because there is nothing bothering me, I am just not in the best mood." Her tone was snappy, and her friends decided not to pursue it.

Lily's eyes scanned the room and automatically fell upon the empty chair in front of her. James' chair. He was being dispatched from the hospital wing today. Lily really wanted to thank him for what he had done, and decided to the next time she saw him. Thinking of James made her think of Cam. How could he be getting so jealous? There was no indication of any feelings between both Lily and James... He was being stupid.

With that Lily pushed both boys to the back of her mind, and focused wholy on taking notes.

.x.

As the pupils filed out of their lessons, Lily turned to the other two girls. "James should be getting released now, fancy going to see how he's doing?"

"Yea, I suppose." Riley yawned tiredly

"Late night was it?" Cassie teased

"It was actually- a very late night."

"Ew, please spare me the details, we get enough of that from Sirius!" She started pretending to gag.

"I'm telling you, the result was amazing-."

"I don't want to hear this!!" Cassie cried blocking her ears.

"It was great, I bought a new quick quill so I got my homework done quicker than usual.." She laughed.

Lily turned round laughing along with the girls and noticed Cam exiting a classroom ahead of her, she was about to call out to him, but remembered how annoyed she was with him, and faltered. Deciding that ignoring him would get her nowhere she picked up her pace, calling out his name. He turned round just as Laura came out the classroom behind him linking her arm in his. Distracted he forgot about Lily as Laura dragged him off with her, leaving Lily shocked and gaping like a fish.

"Have you and Cam fallen out?!" Cassie asked.

"And what is that witch doing on his arm?" Riley growled.

Lily watched as the two walked off. Laura threw back her head laughing. Laughing with Lily's boyfriend.

Lily felt like she had been hit in the stomach and turned away from her friends in the opposite direction, back to her private Head dorm.

.x.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Lily noticed she was ten minutes late for meeting Cam, but she had already decided that she wasn't going.

His pathetic actions had really made her angry. He was playing with fire, and was going to get burnt, but there was a feeling that Lily too would be caught in the flames. I love it!

The feeling in her stomach was unbelievable, and she wanted to hex Laura back to last century, but the fact that she was no longer playing pranks on her, or trying to humiliate her meant that Lily had no means of retaliation.

She was sinking her claws into her boyfriend whilst they were arguing, knowing that would only drive them farther apart.

Lily sighed as she jumped off her bed and made her way to her closet. There was a tap at her window and she noticed Cam's owl with a small letter attached to his foot.

Opening the window she untied the envelope "Hey Pudge" Lily smiled stroking the bird and gave him a bird treat.

Cam had named his owl Pudgy when he got him, and because he was so round and ate too much, the name really quite suited him.

Lily opened the letter. Skimming past the first line she let out a frustrated groan, but as she read on her eyes widened and a look of pure horror etched the features of her face.

Lily let out a frustrated scream, scrunching up the paper and throwing it at the door, making it bounce out into the corridor, before grabbing her fleece and storming out her dorm. She stomped down the stairs in a rage, out of the heads common room and straight for the kitchens.

.x.

Everything and anything was racing through Lily's mind, she sat at the benches in the kitchen, knees up and leaning against the wall with a mug of hot chocolate cradled in her hands.

She went through the letter over and over again in her mind, analyzing every sentence, every word.

She was trying to figure out whether Cam and her were over, trying to figure out the point at which it all went wrong. When did everything suddenly go from being brilliant and Lily being the happiest girl around, to everything crumbling before her eyes?.

She flinched as she remembered the words written on the parchment in Cam's neat scrawl. She had never known him to be as nasty, or as bitter as he had been in the last couple of days.

But had he meant what he'd what he had said?

Deflated Lily sipped her drink, letting out a deep sigh when the door to the kitchens flew open.

Lily's eyes widened as she saw who had just walked in. It was none other than…

James Potter
