Note: Hey guys, here you go chapter 14. I'm going to let you know now that I will only be going 1 or 2 more chapters in their 6th year then moving to their 7th and I'll be sure to make that year extra long.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter and I never will.
The rest of the summer had gone by rather quickly for one grateful Lily Evans. After everything that happened with Vernon and the seeing James at the park, didn't help at all. It just made her more confused then ever before. It also helped a little that Petunia didn't speak with her, however it still hurt.
But finally it was September first and she was going back to school, she couldn't be more excited. She bid her parents goodbye and pushed her cart carrying her things over to the train where the man loaded them on. Having just her backpack her climbed on and looked for an empty compartment, soon after she found Marlene.
"Hey!" Marlene yelled running up her hug her, "It's so good to see you."
Lily returned the hug and smiled it was so good to see her friend, "You too Marls."
"And you and you made prefect again I see." She said motioning to Lily's badge that she had pinned on her backpack so she wouldn't loose it, "I wouldn't be surprised if you made Head Girl next year."
Lily beamed and the two girls walked off to find a compartment.
"Hey Moony!" James gave his signature smirk and walked over to his friend with Sirius Black following close behind.
"Hey Prongs. Hey Pads." Remus gave a tired smile, seeing as a full moon was two days prior to that.
"You alright Moony?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He waved it off, "Anyway as from what James told me your now living with him and his mother loves you more then him." He said remembering word for word.
Sirius smirked, "Well I do that have that kind of affect on people."
James punched him in the arm, playfully, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still hard.
"Ow!" Sirius glared halfheartedly at James.
"So you finally did it then? Your ok with everything?" Remus asked concerned for his friend.
"Yeah I fine and I'm glad that I'm finished with them. I've been saving up and once I become of age I'll be getting my own place... If James doesn't kill me before hand." He joked.
"Please, Sirius. You were over my house almost everyday before you left your monster of a family for years, its no different."
Sirius gave James a grateful smile.
"Has anyone seen Peter?" James asked after a moment looking around.
"No, but he'll probably turn up eventually, he usually does."
Then the three boys made their way to their compartment when Lily and Marlene walked passed them.
"Hey McKinnon." Sirius smirked and winked at Marlene.
"Black." She replied, but he realized she wasn't fully paying attention to him and was glaring at James. Sirius looked at Lily and saw that she looked very uncomfortable and that's when Sirius noticed that James hadn't made on obnoxious comment either. He looked to Sirius's completely surprise as uncomfortable as Lily.
Sirius asked James when he arrived pack from trying to talk to Lily, how it went. James had told him that he didn't want to talk about it. When Sirius went to speak again James snapped at him then said he was going to bed, even though it was only 7:30. Than the next morning he acted like it never happened, and Sirius didn't risk bringing it up, but he knew that whatever happened that James was hurting. This made Sirius angry, with himself and Severus. This was Severus's fault, it was as if he had broken a part of James that day, that his cocky, obnoxious exterior was gone. Sure he still acted like a complete git, but it was different somehow. It was also his fault because he did this, he was selfish and hurt his best friend, his brother.
Marlene seemed to pick up on this because she met Sirius's eye. They were full of guilt, she wished as much as Sirius did, that they could take it all back. But they couldn't so, after another moment of awkward silence Marlene took Lily's hand and led her away from them.
"It'll be ok..." Sirius heard Marlene say softly to Lily and was positive James and Remus missed it.
"It'll be ok..." Marlene said softly to Lily as they walked away form the three boys
"I'm fine.." Lily said and looked Marlene in the eyes, "I don't care about him and I never did, at least in that way, just as a friend. He just pretended to be my friend. He means nothing to me..."
Marlene gave Lily a sympathetic look, Lily might be too suborn to admit it, but she did care for James. Probably more then she even realized.. Marlene just hoped that Lily would get over it and maybe her and James would make up someday and at least come to civil terms. That may be what she hoped, but what she wanted was for her best friend to be happy and if that meant being with James Potter so be it. But she also wanted Lily to come to that realization on her own. Marlene gave it a few months before anything happened.
The rest of the train ride was pretty quiet for everyone. Marlene and Lily rarely talked and Marlene's though kept unwillingly straying to Sirius. When his eyes meant her's, his concern for his friends, he may be arrogant and annoying on the outside, but what is was more too Sirius Black then he lets on... She quickly shook those thoughts out of her head, she was suppose to hate Sirius, that's just how they worked, and besides he was a player. It didn't matter, that he had the deepest brown eyes, or a smirk that made shivers go up her spine whenever she saw it, or how he knew her in a way that not many other people did, or- No! What was she thinking? What was wrong with her?
