I know this is a really really short chapter, but it was a good place to stop.
Chapter 26: Decided
Back at Hogwarts Lily sat up in the girl's dormitory talking to Ivy, Mary and Jamie.
"He hasn't talked to you since the day after Christmas?" Ivy asked after Lily explained what happened.
"Nope."
"Maybe he's waiting for you to speak first." Mary offered.
"Well I'm waiting for him to tell me this stupid secret of his."
"Maybe he's been busy." Ivy suggested.
"How busy could he be? He never even tried to find me on the train ride home."
"Dump him." Jamie said. Everyone looked at her. "Is it really worth staying with him if you're going to be miserable?"
"But she's miserable without him." Ivy said.
"This is ridiculous." Jamie informed them.
"It is not. Lily is experiencing a real crisis here." Mary told her.
"It's a boy. She will get over herself." Jamie fought back.
"But it's the one." Ivy gushed.
"Merlin. I hate to tell you this, but there is no, the one. All guys are arrogant dicks." Jamie shrugged. Ivy and Mary glared at her.
"Thank you Jamie." Lily said.
"Your welcome." she sat down on her bed.
"How could you agree with her?" Ivy demanded.
"Easy. James is being an arrogant dick."
-o-O-o- . . . . -o-O-o- . . . . -o-O-o-
In the boys dormitory:
"She won't talk to me." James repeated.
"We've been through this!" Sirius shouted. "You are James frickin' Potter! Just tell her."
"You both are being stupid." Remus said from behind a book.
"Well what's your suggestion?" Sirius challenged.
"Talk to her calmly. And don't scream the 'I'm James Potter! I'm an animagus!'." Remus advised.
"But that's golden." Sirius argued.
"No it's not." James said.
"It's a way to get murdered." Remus agreed.
"Thank you Moony." James said.
"What do you think Wormy?" Sirius asked. Lupin and James rolled their eyes. Peter would agree with whoever was winning. Or asking.
"Your idea." He said unsure. Sirius took it as 'you are a genius Sirius!'
"See."
"Padfoot." James said grabbing his friend's shoulder, "We need a new plan." Sirius huffed flopping onto his bed.
"Then just talk to her."
"That's what I said!" Remus shouted.
"No you didn't." Sirius argued. Remus just shook his head letting it go.
"Apologize." Remus advised.
"I did!"
"Do it again."
"Yeah. Listen to Moony. He seems to be the girl guro." Sirius mumbled.
"Well if I wanted I could stay with a girl for more than a week."
"For your information," Sirius began indignantly, "I have been seeing Mary for two months."
"And you've been talking about how annoying she is since Thanksgiving."
"Not true!"
"It is true." James said.
"Back to Prongs' issues." Sirius declared. "What are you going to do?"
"Talk to her?" he asked.
"What are you going to say?" Remus asked.
"Yeah?" Peter added.
"Padfoot?" James asked. Sirius raised his hands in surrender.
"Someone," He began looking pointedly at Remus, "Took away my title. Ask him." James shook his head pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Remus?" he asked.
"I haven't a clue mate. Sorry."
"I'm guessing you wouldn't know either would you Wormy?"
"Nope." He squeaked.
"I'll just have to make it up as I go then." James decided.
"That's going to go well." Remus muttered. But James was already out of the room.
"Does anyone know where that boy put the invisibility cloak?" Sirius asked. Remus gave him a dirty look and Peter shrugged.
"Thanks guys." Sirius said bounding from his bed to James' trunk.
Told you it was short. But don't let that stop you from reviewing!
