Chapter 5-

"Lily Evans will you ever get any sleep if all you do is go out at night and sneak off doing God knows what with James!?" Mary screamed.

"Mary please be quiet. I'm tired." Lily answered from her head under the pillow.

"Lily you need to wake up! You are not sitting around on a Sunday doing nothing. WE have homework and studying to do." Said Mary.

"Fine. Fine. I'm up."

Lily got up and grabbed her wand with her left hand.

"Lily. Why is your make-up and hair a mess and why do you smell like a dead anim- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mary screamed. She was hyperventilating.

"Lily Marie Evans. What the HELL is on your finger?" Mary tried to ask calmly.

"Oh. You mean, my engagement ring? This is just what girls wear when they are getting married to the loves of their lives." She answered with a smirk on her face.

"You. Are. Engaged?" Mary asked slowly and shakily.

"Yep."

"AHHHHHH! ALICE! ALICE! 911! 911! LILY is getting married!"

"WHAT?" Alice shot right out of bed and sprinted over to Lily and slapped her across the face.

"What the bloody was that for?" asked Lily.

"WE HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME ROOM FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL US THE SECOND IT HAPPENED!?" Alice screamed.

"Oops!" said Lily.

"OMG! You're going to be Mrs. James Potter!" Alice screamed hugging the life out of Lily.

"How did it happen? When? Where? What did he say? WE want details girl!" Screamed Alice.

"Cool." answered Sirius.

"Ya. That's cool." Said Remus.

"I hope it's a spring wedding. I love wedding's when the flowers are just blooming and it smells like a sunny rainbow-"

"Shut the hell up Wormtail! Jeez, get a life son. Why did you do it Prongs? You don't want to tie yourself down too early man." Said Sirius.

"I love her and she loves me and I wanted to do it before Christmas because I wanted to make her mine." James answered simply.

"Sounds cool."

James had woken up that morning peacefully… until Sirius asked why there was a ring box in his trunk. James said that he proposed to Lily last night and they were pretty chill about it. They went down to have breakfast and when James saw Lily they jumped into each other's arms and kissed. Professor McGonagall scolded them about public displays of affection, but you could see the corners of her moth twitching into smile when she glanced down at Lily's left hand.

A few months later in January, the Marauders and Lily, Alice, and Mary spent their Saturday in the Heads common room playing truth or dare and drinking butter beer, which Sirius spiked with Firewhiskey to make it a tad more interesting.

"Sirius your turn." Said Alice laughing for absolutely no reason.

"Ok. Ummm….James. Truth or dare?"

"Truth." He replied.

"What did you and Cynthia do in your 5th year in that broom closet that got you detention for a week?" said Sirius grinning like a clown.

"Wait. Cynthia? As in gross, mean Cynthia?" asked Mary.

"Yep. That's the one." Said Sirius.

James nervously glanced at Lily whose eyes looked as if they could set you on fire.

"We, uhhh well….pass."

"What? There's no passing you chicken! It was 2 years ago!" screamed Sirius.

"We just kissed and stuff." Replied James in a low tone.

"What kind of stuff?" Lily growled.

"I had my turn. No more questions!" He yelled innocently.

"Why can't you tell all of your best friends and your freaking FIANCE what you did with some whore 2 years ago? Is it that bad that you regret it and you only told Sirius you were with her because you knew that if you didn't the guilt would eat at you. The guilt of knowing it wasn't me!" Lily screamed at James.

"Lily please calm down. It was so long ago that there is no reason for you to know." Replied James.

"You tell me right now or you can take this ring back! If you can't trust me with some stupid fling you had in 5th year then how am I supposed to be honest with you for the rest of our lives!" Lily screamed with a tear running down her cheek.

"I do trust you Lily! Don't take off that ring! I need you to trust me that we didn't do anything that we would regret! I love you! I always have!"

"Then why would you go off doing stuff with other girls if you were so freaking in love with me since first year? Huh? No answer? Ya! You never loved me! I was always just a prize to you. You wanted me because I was something you didn't have already! You had the money, the purity, the Quidditch skills, the friends, the grades, any girl but me! So you thought that if you couldn't have one girl, no one could! You then got bored of me turning your sorry butt down so you went off and hooked up with sluts that meant nothing to you, but a little booty call! That's all I am! The one prize you couldn't get!" Screamed Lily. She was now it a sob of tears on the ground while everyone there looked at her with awe. James sat there in tears, too. Lily then got up, took off her ring, put it where she was sitting and left.

Once she was gone. James stood up. He took one last look at her ring, and then walked out with tears streaming down his face. Everyone left. Everyone left except Sirius. He had jacked up. He knew that they would get drunk. He knew that asking a question only he and James knew about would start a fight. And now all he had left was a bottle of spike butter beer, and his best friend's engagement ring.

The next day, James was still missing from last night and Lily hadn't left her bed. Mary and Alice tried to get her to eat, but all she craved was love from James. She only wanted to know if he loved her enough. She really didn't care about the Cynthia thing. It was that for the past 2 months, he hadn't really did anything special. A few pecks on the lips and a hug, but no real signs of affection.

James was running through the forest trying to get to Lily. He had left that night and transformed into Prongs. He had thought all night about how he hadn't been honest with her. She didn't know about him being an illegal anigami or that he went and helped a werewolf put every once in a full moon, or even that his parents had died in December over the holidays. Only the Marauders knew about it and he realized that he never really let her in. He didn't kiss her anymore because it was all serious now that they were getting married. No more thrills of getting caught in broom closets or going out late for a walk around the pond. He wasn't ready for this and he didn't know what to tell her. So he didn't.

Lily had been miserably for weeks, first she got a tummy bug that was still on and off. Then she had ear splitting headaches when people snapped their fingers. Third she missed James and she wanted him back. It was the begging of March and she hadn't had her period yet. She always had her period from the 2nd of the month until the 6th. But nothing. She panicked. She went up to the boys dormitories during James' Quidditch practice and found Remus in there.

"Lily. James misses you so much and if you would just listen to what he has to sa-"

"Stop talking. I need James' invisibility cloak and I need it now. If you don't give it to me than I'm telling Mary that you hate her pet owl." Lily said sternly. Mary's pet owl, Roberta was her pride and joy. She loved her with all her might and if she found out that Remus hated it, she would kill him.

"Ok." He ran to James' trunk and grabbed the cloak.

"Can I just ask why you need it?" Remus asked.

"Uhhhh….I need to go to Hogsmeade. Right now." She wasn't lying. She was going to Hogsmeade.

"For what?"

"Tampons. I need tampons. Right now." Tampons are pregnancy tests, right? Oh well. She told a fib, she'll get over it.

"Ok." Replied Remus with a completely still face.

"Thanks. Bye now." She then took off to Hogsmeade. She had only went to the village once before without permission and that was with Mary after Remus showed her.

She went to the gargoyle statue on the 2nd floor, twisted his right front tooth, then it opened to a passageway. She ran down the path and ended up in the basement of Honeydukes. She opened the trap door and climbed up. Lily went to the nearest pharmacy and stole a box of pregnancy tests. She couldn't risk showing her face and been seen.

A half hour later she had come back to the castle and to her dormitory bathroom and peed on the little pink stick. It said to wait 8 minutes then look. Lily sat on the toilet and waited the longest 8 minutes of her life. The timer on her wand went off. She looked down.

Positive.
