Chapter 15 Lily (POV)
"BETH! What are you doing here?" I yelled excitedly, nearly hugging her to death. Sirius and James had looks of blind panic on their faces, but I didn't care. I finally had someone to actually talk to.
"My parents decided to dump me off at my aunt and uncle's." said Beth sarcastically. Beth was one of the three of Lily's best friends who had long brown hair, and blue eyes as sharp as a hawk. She Lily's height and dressed cutely, as Remus had mentioned to her earlier this week. (Hint! hint! Remus/Beth eventually)
"No, just joking, my parents are going to France for Aunt something or another's wedding, never met her. They could only afford two plane tickets, so I decided to come to James's House."
"Aren't your parents wizards? Why don't they just apparate?" Sirius said questioningly.
"My dad thought it would be better for my mom, she doesn't like appariting."
"Oh I see." Said Sirius.
"So what have you guys been up to?"
"Exercise!" replied James and Sirius and I in unison (Oh wow that is confusing. oh well…)
"Really?"
"Yes, Black was being the git that he was, and made a mess of the place that potter and I would have to clean up. So we chased him around the yard to pitch, and caught the villain there." I said skeptically.
I looked over and saw Black's eye's have that evil marauder glint that meant trouble for anyone near.
"Sounds like fun." Said laughing her head off.
"It was!" I said genuinely.
"So… Where's the other Marauder?" asked Beth with a slight smile.
"Oh Remus, umm… he's at his house I guess." Said James with a questioningly look on his face.
"Oh…" Beth said her smile disappearing.
"I'm sure he said he was coming over tonight though, but he said he might be late, because uhh… his mom is sick." Said James looking glancing at Sirius. The Marauders are hiding something, something secret. I just can't place what it is. I was about to ask the burning question inside of me, but I didn't want to pry into their business, so I didn't pursue my thoughts.
"My his mum is awfully sick a lot." Said Beth.
" Yeah tell us about it" said James and Sirius in unison, looking at each other mischievously.
"Well Beth do you have your things?" asked James.
"Yes, there in the front room," said Beth walking to the front room, Sirius James and I followed her to the front room.
"Here Beth, let Sirius and I carry your things to the guest room," Said Potter grabbing her bags, " Right Sirius?" Beth looked at James in shock.
"Oh yeah umm… of coarse." Said Sirius painfully as James nudged him in the side.
"No James it's okay- I" started Beth, but James interrupted.
"I insist! My mother would have a fit! And that's the last thing I need right now." He said smiling.
" Fine…" said Beth sighing in defeat.
The boys walked up the grand staircase; waiting for them to be out of earshot Beth made a squeal of delight.
"What on earth have you done to James!." she exclaimed
"I don't know?" I said of in deep thought.
"James only acts like a jerk in front of you, why's he being a gentleman around you? Nothing happened did it?" said Beth with an honest look on her face.
"No…."
"He really likes you Lily, he just doesn't know how to show his affection. All the pranks they were to get your attention. Can't you see that?"
Oh crap I wasn't supposed to say that! " She said with a look of horror.
"What's this about Potter, Beth?" I said this new piece of info making me wonder.
"Well he never ever and I mean never is going to know this came from me okay?"
"Okay, just spill." I said excitedly awaiting this new info.
"Well I am his cousin, I practically grew up with him." Beth explained
"Yes, well keep going then," I replied anxiously.
"What I'm trying to say is that he only acts that way around you. The one you've seen play the piano, the gentleman that carried my bags to my room. That's the real him Lily."
"That was deep…"
"I'm just tired of seeing James down all the time cause you've rejected him."
"I'm being nicer to him! I promised Remus that I would at least try." I said defending myself.
"Remus? I wonder where he is. I hope he comes. I missed him over the summer." Beth said getting off the subject of James.
"That's another thing, why is Remus's mother always sick?"
"Chronic illness?" said Beth
"No, I don't think so but I am going to find out."
"Going to find out what, Lily?" said a deep voice behind her.
"Umm… nothing James nothing."
He gave me a look that said. Sure whatever Lily. But he didn't badger me about it. Sirius decided to go and eat some more, as did Alexis considering she hadn't eaten all day. Leaving Potter and I sitting across from the armchair.
"So…" Potter said lamely.
" So… what?"
"How's Beth liking it here?" he said in an attempt to start a conversation. I smiled at this; at least I knew he was trying. I also noticed his hands in his pockets; as if he was resisting messing up his hair, my smile growing broader I answered his question.
"She didn't say." I said shortly.
"Oh…" he said awkwardly.
"How Remus's mum doing?" I said breaking the silence.
"Oh he- I mean she's doing fine," said Potter his forehead gathering sweat, "it's one her fastest recoveries, at least that's what Moony says."
"Moony?" I said confused.
"Oh, that's Remus's nickname, we all have nicknames; the Marauders I mean."
"Yes, I noticed." I said slyly. I seemed to be getting nowhere; Potter wasn't about to spill his darkest secrets to me… right?
A/n: Oh little does she know???? Right? Please Review!!!!
