Chapter Fifteen: "NOT IF WE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!"

~~ Flashback ~~

"Guess what?"

"What?" He asked, leaning forwards.

~~ End Flashback ~~

"You have to guess!" I said, eyes wide to emphasize my point.

"You… have cancer and have four minutes to live." He said, knowing full well that wasn't it.

"No! I just got asked out by Matthew McHonahan! Isn't that great?" My cheeks were starting to hurt from all that smiling.

An unnamed emotion flitted across his face, before it broke into a happy smile. I began to wonder if I'd imagined it.

"That's great Lil. I'm happy for you." He grabbed an owl and sent it on its way. "Care to walk me back to the common room, dear lady?"

"Of course good sir. I can't leave you alone, prey to all those horny girls. That would be plain cruel." I replied, taking his proffered arm and grinned up at him.

We arrived at the Portrait hole to find James and another boy I recognised fighting. Then it dawned on me. It was Matthew.

"Matthew! James! Stop please!" I yelled, tears coursing down my cheeks.

"Lily!" James stopped and turned to me. He wiped away my tears and smiled gently at me.

SMACK!

"Hands off! Lily's mine!" Matthew punched James in the jaw.

James wasn't expecting that heavy blow and fell to the floor. I knelt down to him and brushed the hair out of his eyes. "James! James can you hear me? Please…" I whimpered, holding his hands and crying.

Strong arms appeared around my waist and Matthew pulled me away. "Don't touch him. You're my girlfriend, not his."

I whirled around, my heartbeat rocketing. I dealt him the hardest slap I could muster and dropped to my knees, back to James.

"James honey, can you hear me? Please, say something!" I rubbed his hands frantically.

"You called me honey." He grinned up at me.

I grinned back. "Sirius is gonna help me get you to the Hospital Wing. Don't worry; the nurse won't know you were fighting. Just please don't do it again."

Sirius was restraining Matthew from killing James, or me, or maybe both.

"Let him go. I have." I whispered. Sirius dropped his arms and knelt next to James. I muttered the levitating charm and we floated him to the Hospital Wing.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS EVANS!" Matthew bellowed after me. Sirius turned around and yelled back.

"NOT IF WE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!"
