Chapter 10: The Make-Up

Remus and Peter had left Sirius in the astronomy tower and went to bed, Sirius assured them that he was fine but just didn't want to face James. He wasn't lying, he was fine. He had planned to do what James had asked him to do in the first place, be a complete arse to her, and that's exactly what happened. He just didn't plan on her finding out about it, or him telling her about it. He was leaning on the rail, enjoying the crisp morning air, when he heard foot steps behind him. He didn't need to turn around to know that it was Remus, Peter, and James, coming to help him.

"Padfoot. . ." James sighed apologetically.

Sirius nodded, accepting the apology. "Prongs. . ." Sirius sighed in the same matter.

James also just nodded.

Just then, Remus and Peter started laughing hysterically. Sirius and James looked at them, and then each other, and then joined in the laughing.

"I can't believe this fight that has been going on for weeks and has gotten totally out of control on so many occasions was just solved by you two saying each others' names" Remus choked out between bursts of laughter.

"Yeah!" Peter piped in. "If I'd have known that's all it took I would have forced you guys to do this a while ago!"

When the laughing finally died down the atmosphere became serious again and all four boys could feel the tension in the air.

"Did you love her?" James asked quietly. "Do you love her? That's all I want to know".

"I don't even know the meaning of the word" Sirius said depressingly.

"Yeah well don't feel too bad, cause apparently neither do I" James joked trying to lighten the mood. "I mean, what I did. . . Who does that?" He laughed thinking back on everything, and the ridiculousness of it all.

"All I know is that me and her together will only lead to her getting hurt, it's not fair to her". Sirius looked back at Remus, silently thanking him for unknowingly giving him advice.

"Padfoot. . ." Remus sighed. "I-I can't believe you actually took what I said about breaking up with girls since I'm a werewolf and used it to make your decision about Lily. I don't know whether to be really proud of you or feel really sorry for giving you the idea" he chuckled through the last sentence.

"Listen, I know I went kind of crazy the last few weeks. Okay, really crazy," James revised when he saw the look on his friends' faces, "but I'm seeing clearly now and. . . you need to get her back".

There was a long paused before Sirius finally replied. "But I don't deserve her!"

"Mate, if you were willing to give her up for me so that she can be happy then trust me, you deserve her".

"That's really messed up. You know that?" Sirius laughed.

"Maybe just a little bit" James laughed along. "But. . ."

"But, I love her, and it's time she knew".

"Alright, then what's stopping you?" Peter asked when he noticed the hesitation in his friend's eyes.

Sirius laughed a little before sharing. "I got sucked off by another girl knowing full well that Lily was watching".

The four of them were in hysterics again instantly.

Later that day, Sirius found Lily in the library.

He sat down next to her and started, "Lily-," before she cut him off.

"No!" she whisper screamed. "I don't want to talk to you!"

"Then just listen. I did it for you! I pushed you away because you deserve better than me-"

"I do" Lily interrupted but Sirius continued like she hadn't.

"but when I'm with you, I'm a better person. I, however, will never do better than you. I need you in my life! You're the only person who could make me come to the library, and you know how much I hate coming here".

Lily smiled lightly but Sirius didn't notice.

"Bloody hell, Lily please!"

Now Lily turned on the offensive. "You humiliated me in front of the whole school!"

"What I did was out of love, the rest was all Prongs".

"You sleep around like it's your job!"

"But not since we started going out, and I will never be with another woman for as long as I live if you forgive me".

"My friends hate you!"

"Well they'll come around. . . eventually. . . maybe. . ."

"No one will ever take me seriously after what you and james did!"

"And I'll kick all of their arses for you".

"You start fights for no reason!"

"I will never fight again unless for an absolutely genuine cause".

"You never study!"

"I don't need to!"

Lily just glared at him.

"But I'll start studying right now".

"The only things you care about are the stupid pranks you pull with your friends!"

"I will stop pulling pranks" just then the walls shook a bit and they heard the distant screams from a bunch of students. Lily looked skeptically at Sirius. "Last one, and I care about you! Use me being in the library and changing my whole life to be with you as proof".

"Sirius, I just don't think you're the one I should be with".

"Not yet, but I will be" Sirius promised before he got up out of his chair and walked out of the library and to The Marauder's tree next to the lake to meet his friends.

"How did it go?" Remus asked as Sirius walked up.

"Better than expected" Sirius replied after hesitating a bit.

"What did she say?" Peter inquired.

Sirius hesitated again. "Exactly what should have been expected" he said before laughing lightly with James.

"I don't get it. . ." Remus muttered.

"Don't worry Moony, you probably have to be in the 'I Love Lily Evans' club to get it" Peter joked.

"Very funny Wormtail" James said playfully.

"Yeah," Peter laughed, "I am bloody hilarious".

"Well now I wouldn't push it" Remus joked and pushed Peter playfully.

"I didn't think you guys would let me off with that one" Peter returned while laughing.

They continued on like that. Laughing and joking around, just like old times. Each one taking a turn being the one that was made fun of.

Three weeks later Sirius and Lily hadn't seen each other really. They had classes together, but they didn't sit near each other or talk. There were no stolen glances in the hallways or at meal times. It even seemed as though they made a schedule for being in the common room, because you rarely saw them both in there. It was like they had both not only given up, but decided to pretend as if the other person didn't exist.

One day, Sirius was on a date in The Three Broomsticks. An actual date; take her out, buy her food, get to know each other, and at the end of the night he would walk her to her common room and kiss her goodbye on the cheek. Ever since that night in the library, he has kept all of his promises to Lily, even if she will never forgive him or take him back.

Just as they were getting to the last gulp of butterbeer, Lily walked in, unnoticed by Sirius or his date. She saw them and something clicked in her mind. She started walking towards them and on her way she picked up a half-full mug of butterbeer. When she got to the table, she threw the butterbeer at Sirius and sat down facing his date before Sirius even noticed her.

"Hi! I'm Lily!" she introduced herself.

"Hello there" the girl answered back, completely confused.

"You want to know what this guy did to me? He humiliated me, he literally ma-"

"Lily?" Sirius interrupted her once he realized what happened.

"I-I'm having a conversation!" she shrieked before continuing. "What he did to me makes me physically sick every day. And that's not sick from missing him people! That's like sick from him leaving me with a part of himself inside of me!"

"You're pregnant?" Sirius choked out.

"Yeah! That's right!" Lily answered.

"H-H-How?" Sirius was freaking out. There is no way this is happening!

"How? Well you see, the guy-" Lily started sarcastically before Sirius cut her off once again.

"That's not what I meant!"

"I think I should go" his date said as she was walking out.

"I-I didn't know!"

"You should here what he did to my best friend!" she announced to the whole pub.

Sirius stood there confused before Lily answered his silent question.

"He got her pregnant too!" she exclaimed "So I really wouldn't sleep with this guy unless you're planning on getting ready for a kid".

"What's going on here?" he asked, still confused.

"Oh! I'm just saving countless other girls from the worst sex they will ever have" she answered calmly.

"Well, that's not what you used to say" he fired back hesitantly.

"You wanna know why I stopped talking to you? Didn't replied to your pathetic letters? You are unattractive. There! I said it!" she mocked, bringing them both back to their first time together.

"That right? Well, I'd insult you back but you'd probably just go tell a teacher on me Mrs. Goody-two-shoes".

"Alright Sirius, you have the funniest joke here. . . and it's in your pants" she whispered the last part, still loud enough for those around them to hear.

"Okay. Okay. You can stop trying, because the funniest thing that will ever come out of you is me".

Lily nodded, accepting defeat. "I hate you" she whispered while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I hate you too" he laughed, grabbing on to her waist.

Then they kissed, and simultaneously shocked everyone while bringing them to their feet in a standing ovation, cheering on the once again happy couple.
