"Guys night today?"

"Sure, Padfoot"

"Moony?"

"Sounds good"

So, when 11 pm rolled around, we all sat in my room with a bottle of Whiskey.

"How's Ciara doing, Prongs?"

"Fine" I shrugged "Same as always"

"Cool," he says, not really caring. "Anyone know what's up with Lily?" Remus inquired

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked

"Well, I dunno if this is all just a coincidence, but Lily's been super withdrawn lately, and today she agreed to go on a date with Janda"

"Janda? Shane Janda? Why would she wanna go out with that prick?" I suddenly felt like punching something, which was entirely unfair. I was dating someone else, and she's never been bound to me.

"He's not a prick" Sirius side eyed me "And yeah, I asked Fliss about Lily earlier. She just looked at me like I was an idiot for not already knowing what's up. How am I bloody supposed to know? I asked her, and she pretended she had an essay to write."

"Yeah, he's definitely not an ass, but I still find it weird that Lily agreed to go out with Shane when first, she doesn't even know him that well, and I thought—" Remus abruptly cut off when Sirius made slashing movements

"What?" I asked, not missing the look Sirius gave Remus. Irritation stirring in me, I say, "forgot I had an essay to write, Pads. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Night"

I went to my room and beat the living hell out of my punching bag, which I had installed for these purposes, for 45 minutes.

I noticed Lily was acting weird too. I thought it was something trivial or stupid, like a bad grade. She's been jumpy with me, we haven't spent time together since I started going out with Ciara. Yeah, we've talked in lessons, but I haven't talked to her properly for about a month now.

I guess she's been withdrawn because she was nervous about Shane.

Goddammit, I don't want her to go out with him. I kicked the wall.

Well, that was a shitty idea.
