Chapter 21

She walked up the staircase quickly, desperately not wanting to run into a certain someone. Christmas break hadn't turned out to be anything like how it was suppose to be, to tell the truth, it had sucked. She had gone to the Potters house, trying to find some sort of medication. That trip actually hadn't gone as horribly as the rest of her holiday had gone; she actually had gotten a remedy that was supposed to help that pain and another for clinical depression.

Although after a certain Christmas gift, she felt like Anger medication might be more useful.

"Lily! Hey! Lily!" James voice broke her fumbling into splinters. Sharp, dangerous splinters.

"What?" She said through her teeth. She turned on her heels to see James bounding up the stairs after her. He stopped on the landing next to her.

"Are you ok?"

"Excuse me?" She asked annoyed

"Are. You. Ok?" He said this slowly, as if speaking to a child.

"I heard what you said." Her teeth were clenched now. Don't freak out don't freak out, she chanted" I just don't understand why you would be asking them."

"Well, Ashley mentioned that you where at our infirmary during break. Is everything cool?"

Snap

"NO! EVERYTHING IS NOT 'COOL'! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUCH A GIT THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT?"

James visibly took a step back, holding onto the rail with fear her voice might visibly knock him over.

"What are you talking about? What am I suppose to see when you won't even talk to me? Not exactly my fault."

Lily's mouth dropped open. He did not just say that. He did NOT just say that.

"Oh I'M sorry, did I not want to have to put up with the guy how completely betrayed my trust?"

"You didn't TELL me not to tell anyone Lily."

"Did I honestly NEED to?"

Lupin, Sirius, and peter appeared at the top of the stairs. "Ahhhhh, guys?" Lupin noticed their hostile expressions, clenched fist, locked jaws.

"You assumed WAY too much Lily."

"Do I? Excuse me if I thought you were actually trustworthy! Guess I was wrong!"

"What? I am totally trustworthy; I've kept secrets you don't even know about."

"What now? Are you going to tell me to prove a point, or just because you're bored."

"Of course I'm not going to tell you."

"Why not? I'm not the one who doesn't even think before opening their BIG FAT MOUTH."

"You're just being sensitive!"

"You're just being a jackass!"

"Lily, James, Let's calm down a bit and think this through." Lupins' attempts were futile.

"Oh my Merlin Potter! You never cease to amaze me with exactly how think you can be?"

"I'm thick? Think again Evans, At least when I'm in trouble, I don't just hang around in denial. I get help, like you should."

"Are you saying I'm incapable?"

"Stop putting words into my mouth!"

"I'm simply deciding their double meaning, Potter!" She yelled,

"What would you know?"

"Evidently more then you."

"That's a very incorrect assumption, Evans."

"No, it's not." She said, she stepped back to look at him "Not that it matters though. I never want to talk to you again." She spun on her heels and bolted to Gryffindor tower.

"What the bloody hell was that about?" James asked, watching her run towards the castle. Away from him.

"Um, I'm not a genius but I'd gather she's mad at you Prongs."

"No bloody way padfoot, I would have NEVER guessed that. Why is she mad at me?"

"Cause your you?" Lupin guessed

"She obviously doesn't know you well enough." Piped up peter, looking proud of himself for contributing to the conversation.

James ears visibly perched up after a moment. " But if she did…."

Lupin was slightly scared by the expression on his face. "Prongs, please tell me whatever your thinking doesn't involve any more St. Jimmy's supersonic gunpowder."

"No," his face was confused for a moment, Sirius used this moment to interject-"That was AWESOME moody, you know it."

"What I was thinking, was that if she got to know me, all would be forgiven, if she would only go out with me…"

"Ugh" Lupin groaned "That just may be worse."

James ignored him, a battle strategy already forming.

Well, theres chapter 21, hope you liked it, sorry it was so short, I was going to add one more piece to it but I'll just include it with the next chapter. Thanks for reading!
