A/N: Almost finished. Couple more chapters to go now.
Review pleaase!
Summary: All couples have the dreaded "bump in the road". Even Lily and James. Originally from my story 'Kodak'
Disclaimer: Not mine. Why do I even bother? Sigh.
Alice walked over to Lily's bed and ripped open the curtains.
"Lily Rose Evans, wake your sorry arse up now or I'll do it myself. I'm not afraid to. I'll do it! Lily, get up! Get up! Get up! Okay, you give me no choice. Agua-"
"I'M UP!" Lily cried, jumping out from under the warm covers.
"Good," Alice said, smirking. Lily glared at her and rubbed her eyes vigorously. Glancing out of the window, Lily saw in the distance the Whomping Willow heave a great sigh and kill a blue bird in the action. In her peripheral vision she could see a couple of brooms zooming around the Quidditch pitch.
"I take it back, I'm down again."
"No, no, no Lily! We aren't walking backwards, Lil, we're marching forwards! Come on." Alice pleaded as she watched Lily crawl back into her bed.
"No!" Lily moaned from under the covers. Alice groaned in frustration and threw her arms up in the air.
"That's it, Lily. I give up. You've been moaning and groaning for the too long. James kissed her in March. You didn't do anything for April, you ignored him and then you went all sappy on me in May! It's the end of June now, nearing July. Suck it up and go be a man!"
"I'm not a man,"
"I know. But listen Lily. If James was really and truly not all that sorry about kissing her, then he would be going out with some other poor, helpless bird wouldn't he?"
"Maybe…"
"Maybe yes! Come on, Lily. Just forgive him already, please."
"I already forgave him, Al. I forgave him in May." Lily whispered, glancing up at her best friend.
"You what?"
"He apologised and I accepted it. Simple as that. I don't want to go out with him again."
"Then why the flip are you dreading today so much? I thought it was because you had to see him!"
"It is because I have to seem him. But also I might've done something really horrible and mean. Can you pretend I'm sick with dragon pox or something?"
"Why? What did you do?"
"What did who do?" Mary asked, sitting up in bed and rubbing her eyes. Alice walked over to her and sat down on her bed.
"Lily did something but she won't tell me!" Alice moaned, lying down on Mary's bed.
"Oh, Al, you'll find out soon enough. Might as well tell her though, Lil," Mary replied, getting up and walking to the bathroom.
"Shut up, shut up, and shut up. I'm not listening. I have done a very, very bad thing and I wish that I didn't but I did. Now, if you excuse me I'm going to get dressed."
"Fine. Meanie." Alice muttered, getting up and walking towards the door. "If you need me, I'll-"
"-Be with Frank!" Lily and Mary chorused from the various positions in the dorm.
"Yes, with my boyfriend Frank who I love very much and would forgive if he kissed some stupid dildo like Greengrass. Wink wink?" She asked. Lily flipped her the bird and turned away. Mary just grinned and winked at Alice, laughing softly. Alice sighed and walked out the door, slamming it behind her.
Lily sorted through hew clothing carefully, picking out every single garment before choosing a floral dress which finished mid-thigh and a short-sleeved grey sloppy-joe on top. She slipped on some black high-tops and stared dejectedly into the mirror.
"Bye, Mary, I'll tell you all about this morbid affair when I get back." Lily called into the bathroom. She heard Mary laugh in reply and then add: "I don't even know why you said yes in the first place, Lil, this is going to kill James."
"Trust me, it's killing me just as much." Lily murmured, heading out the door. "Bye!"
She descended the stairs in a flourish and jumped the last three. She hadn't been on a date for months and even if she was completely regretting saying yes to him. She walked with towards the soft couches near the fire and sat down.
"Hey, Lily." James said, putting down his book. Lily looked up and tears immediately formed in her eyes. She blinked furiously in attempt to keep the tears at bay. "You look, well, gorgeous."
"I did something horrible," She whispered, hanging her head.
"What did you do?" James asked, concern showing on his face.
"I said…I-I said yes," She whispered.
"Yes to what?" James asked again, moving a piece of hair away from her face.
"To me! Of course, you wouldn't know that, would you? You've been wallowing in you're room for too long to realise anything…" said Amos Diggory proudly.
"Seriously, Lils?" Lily lifted her head up out of her hands and stared at James.
"Save me!" She mouthed at him before being dragged off by Diggory.
"Well, I'll be dammed…" James whispered.
A/N: Where this used to be I wrote here that this has turned into a fully fledged breakup story. Now it is! But they'll be together soon fo sho.
