Chapter Twenty Four: "It's your own fault James."
I walked back to the common room in a daze for the second time in a week. I clambered through the Portrait hole and threw myself down next to Cassie. She was completing some random homework.
"Hi Lil." She glanced up at me, and then did a double take. "Are you okay?" I must have looked awful. I whipped out a hand mirror and gasped. My light coat of mascara had run in black rivers down my cheeks, giving the impression that I had run amok with a black marker pen.
I nodded, then shook my head. "I feel as if someone's pulled out my heart and run over it with an 18-wheeler truck." I whispered.
Cassie held me for about an hour.
Later on, I was helping her with her Potions essay when the Quidditch team trouped in. Sirius bounded over and dripped mud over me as he gave me a bone-crushing hug.
"Sirius… can't…breathe…" I gasped as he released me.
Potter ambled over and opened his mouth to say something.
Someone else got in first.
"JAMES POTTER! WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF?" Belle hollered at him. Her fists were clenched and her eyes blazed. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA, DO YOU? YOU ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS! YOU ARE A HEARTLESS PIG WHO NEEDS TO DEFLATE HIS HEAD BEFORE COMING ANYWHERE NEAR MY FRIENDS EVER AGAIN! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
Cassie pulled her down next to me and I collapsed into her arms.
Then Cass turned to him, her amber eyes alight with passionately loyal fires. "You are a dick. Leave Lily alone." She didn't raise her voice, yet it had the same effect as Bella's ranting.
Remus appeared at her side and held her close. He pulled her down to the sofa and sat her on his knees. "Shh. Shh darling."
Sirius glanced at us all, from me silently sobbing onto Belle's shoulder to Potter's shocked face.
"It's your own fault James." He sighed.

I would like four reviews for this chap, as it isn't very long.
