Lily's look of disgust didn't go unnoticed. "What do you mean you're all... together?" She said the last word as if it was dirty, something to be ashamed of.
Hermione, Remus, and Sirius shared looks with each other, while James moved his arm from around his girlfriend and stood up, staring at her as if he was seeing her for the first time.
James cleared his throat. "What Sirius means is that all three of them love each other equally, and they decided they wanted to be with each other, so they are together. What's so hard to understand about that, Lily?"
Lily's emerald eyes flashed as she stood up, her hands on her hips. "You're not acting very surprised, James Potter!"
James shrugged. "I've known for a while. I do share a room with Remus and Sirius. They wouldn't have been able to hide it very easily. They just decided to finally go completely public. What's the problem?"
"The problem is it's wrong," Lily angrily hissed. Louder, she continued, "And I can't believe you still associate with these deviants."
"Listen here, Evans—" Sirius began only to be interrupted by James.
"No, Padfoot, let me. The three of them aren't hurting anyone. If they're deviants because they completely love each other, so be it. Although I have trouble understanding how a triad works as a functioning relationship, I will never turn my back on my friends because they love each other."
Lily's lips were painted in an ugly sneer. "It's me or them. Choose." She smirked triumphantly over at Remus, Sirius, and Hermione, confident that James would choose her after years of pursuing her.
James looked over at his friends—three people that had stood beside him no matter what. They had always been there, and now it was time for him to prove his loyalties. "I choose them."
Lily let out a scream of frustration and stormed out of the room. The four of them remained silent, unsure of what to say or do.
