Note: Hey everyone last chapter I put out a poll for when you want James and Lily to go out in their 6th or 7th year and so far I have 2 people that would like it for their 7th year. I'm going to give you guys some more time before make my final decision so please review and vote on what you would want to see happen!
She fell of it, how could she have been so stupid. Those thoughts are what's running through Lily Evans's head. All this time she thought that it was James that had ruined their friends ship, but when in reality it was her. She should have listened. The sene of James telling her off, kept playing over and over again in her mind.
For the past 6 years I've been tried to get your attention, earn your trust, but you just ignored me.
Every time I would tried and talk to you, or even those times I would ask you out. I wasn't just being cocky, I knew that you would probably just turn me down, so I just hid it away and acted like it didn't bother me, just laugh it off.
But you know what it did hurt. Every. Single. Time.
I'm done.
Those bits and pieces repeatedly running through her head. How could she have been so blind?
The door to the Gryffindor common room opened and Lily didn't bother to look up and see who it was, she already had a pretty good feeling who it was.
"Go away Marlene."
"Actually I can't since I am in this house too you know." She replied.
When Lily didn't respond Marlene walked over and hesitantly sat down on the couch beside Lily.
"Can we talk?"
"I don't know, can we? Or will you just go and make another plan with Snape?" It was a low blow and Lily knew it, but she couldn't help it.
Marlene gave a sigh, "Lily I'm really sorry, you'll never know how sorry I am. We didn't know it would turn out like this."
"But you still did it. You didn't think about it at all, how could you even consider it? Especially since it was with Snape."
"I don't know Lily, if I did I would tell you. But I do know that I regretted it everyday."
"You could have at least told me! I mean sure I still would have been mad, but at least it wouldn't have gotten this far, we could have fixed things... Now? I don't know."
They stayed in silence for a while, neither one of them really knowing what to say next, until Marlene finally spoke.
"Do you hate me?" Her voice was no higher than a whisper.
Lily looked at her, "Do I hate you? No. I could never actually hate you. I'm more disappointed than anything else..."
"What can I do? I need, no I want to fix this."
"I don't know if there's anything you can do. I'm pretty sure James hates me now; I'm not denying anything he said. Because he's right, I never did give him a real chance to explain himself. I did ignore him, and I never really did think about why he also acted the way he did..."
Marlene gave a small nod, "No one really did, but you can't take all the blame for that one..."
"You really do like him, don't know?" Marlene then added.
"It doesn't really matter.." She said softly looking ahead of her, but her mind seemed miles away.
It always matters. Marlene thought.
James glanced over at Remus again from the bed that Madam Pomfry had him sitting on. He was always worried about his friend after the full moon. However his breathing was even and not ragged like it was before. So he relaxed a little.
Madam Pomfry had patched them both up, but she was making him wait for some unknown reason.
"Hey Prongs..."
James looked over to see Sirius and Peter walking in the Hospital Wing.
"Hey Peter." James said ignoring Sirius.
"Hi James." He replied.
"Listen, James about what happened out there-"
"Are you going to say that Snape lied about everything he said out there?"
"No." Sirius replied, avoiding James's stare.
Peter walked away and went over by Remus.
"Then what?"
"Look I know I messed up."
"That's an understatement, because of your plan Snape also now knows that Remus is a werewolf and that we're animagus."
"No one will believe that git, anyway, so it's nothing to worry about." Sirius waved it off.
James let out a low growl.
"I know you mad, and I know I messed up majorly- Let me finish." He said when he saw that James was about to speak again, "But we've all made our mistakes, some more than others, but this can be fixed. We don't need to worry about Snape."
"Yeah, ok." James said laying back on the bed.
"Then as for Lily, I know for a fact that you're not done with her, but if it makes you feel any better in that little rant you had, I'm pretty sure you just told her how you felt."
"It doesn't."
Sirius sighed, "Listen mate, I am your best friend and your brother. There will be times when I mess up and you know it better than anyone that this isn't my first and or last time. "
"Git."
"Prat."
"Good, now that that's covered, why don't you two just kiss and make up already. Then you can explain to me what happened… After I get some sleep."
James and Sirius turned to see that the statement came from Remus who was holding the pillow over his face.
"Moony!" Sirius cheered, "Welcome back to the land of the living!"
"James is right, you are a git."
"And don't you forget it." Sirius smirked.
The other three Marauders ended up laughing.
"Now that that's been established, what's this about you and Marlene?" James questioned Sirius.
