She hadn’t thought she’d ever in a million years be cheering for James Potter at the sidelines of a Quidditch game, but come seventh year that was exactly what Lily Evans was doing. It had been tight between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, the former narrowly winning the game once the snitch was caught, and she ran down to the field with the other students afterward to try and find James. It took a few moments, but finally he was there, and Lily grinned at him.

Professor Riddle was an intimidating man, though everyone at the school knew that. His look could probably freeze a person on the spot if he were rubbed the wrong way, and Lily was sure he was silently judging each and every one of his students. Being the overachiever she was, she made extra effort so she did not, in fact, fail out of his class, because that was the last thing she wanted to do. Especially not out of Defense Against the Dark Arts. It was when Professor Riddle asked her to stay after class one day that she felt her anxiety spike--had she done something wrong?--and Lily found herself giving Mary’s hand a tight squeeze before going up to the professor’s desk.

          ❝ Always making trouble, Evan’s. Though I was              heading out for my last round before calling it              a night, you ?? ❞

     He was being cheeky, but what did Evan’s expect ?? Sirius Black was known for      turning thing’s && avoiding question’s, but honestly it didn’t help the young redhead      was a headgirl. Had to keep his wits about him when answering her now. Truth be      told he was going to have his nightly smoke before bed. The addictive fag’s were      his only escape when he was on his own. 

     Not that he could blame his mate’s. They had thing’s to do as well.

"One would think you’d know what I’m up to by now.” Lily raised her eyebrow at Sirius and crossed her arms, assessing him for a few moments before sighing, shoulders sagging. She honestly didn’t expect much else but possible trouble from him, though how much damage could he genuinely cause on his own? Maybe she didn’t want to know the answer to that question. 

– “Good weather,” Severus said thinly, eyeing the particularly garish looking sunlight through a window.  Good weather, in his opinion, was over cast and breezy.  This was not that.  Granted, it wasn’t particularly hot either, but even so.  Severus gathered his books to his chest and skittered his nails up and down their spines.  “I’m not sure, Lily.  Wasting good things is something of a talent of mine.”

She rolled her eyes and sighed, clasping her hands together and raising her eyebrows. “Please, you d--well, maybe sometimes, but today won’t be that day.” The daylight, in her (un)professional opinion, was ticking, and Lily chewed her cheek. “Please? Just a few minutes, and you can bring your books. It’ll be great, I promise.”

The halls were relatively empty, but that’s how Lily expected them to be as curfew drew closer. Few students lingered outside of their dorms save for those needing the library for homework or those who had friends in other houses. As she walked by she reminded them of curfew, watching as a few scuttled off to their rooms. Lily shouldn’t have been surprised to come across Sirius outside of the Gryffindor common room, but seeing him without the other three troublemakers made her raise an eyebrow.

Free period varied between like and dislike for Lily. She loved having the time away from classes and getting her homework out of the way, but if she did it fast or simply had none that day it bored Lily endlessly. Today, unfortunately, was one of those days, and she found herself wandering the halls of Hogwarts and looking for either Mary or Severus. It wasn’t too long until she found the latter, and she plopped herself beside Severus with a smile.

Sirius waited until he could hear the snuffled sounds of breathing that signified all of his dormmates were sleeping. He then slipped out from under his covers and pushed his feet into his slippers before heading down to the common room in his silk pajamas.

He stopped at the base of the staircase and watched Lily silently for a moment or two. She looked worried, almost, not her usual self. And she hadn’t noticed him yet. After a brief pause to drink in the sight of her, Sirius coolly walked over and sat beside her on the couch where she took a start, emerald eyes wide as saucers. He his arm lazily on the sofa, then his head against his arm.

❛ Why so surprised, my love? You’ve called, I’ve come. ❜

Why was she even up? Even more of a question, why did she ask Sirius to come down to the common room? Lily held a weathered pillow in her lap and tugged anxiously at the stray threads that were slowly unraveling, staring into the fireplace while she waited for His Majesty to arrive at her side. It was silly, just a meaningless fight between she and James that was bound to come from two stubborn-headed people in a relationship. Even so, the thought that she could have ruined them because of a Quidditch match rubbed at her, and Lily knew that Sirius would most likely have the answers to such a thing.

He was silent, though, and Lily jumped out of her thoughts with a start when she felt the couch cushions sink and an arm drape behind her shoulders, head turning and almost smacking him with her hair. “Sirius,” she said softly, exhaling and letting her shoulders relax. So he decided to show up after all.

“I know you probably want to be sleeping, sorry. I... I’m just worried and figured you’d have answers.”

          marlene  smiled  despite how nervous she could tell lily was,  because she knew that no matter what,  she wouldn’t let anything bad happen to her best friend.  that included her own brother figure being a dick  to her.  “ if james can’t accept that,  then i’ll just tell everyone he’s got a warty  CHODE  and then he’ll never get laid.  it won’t be a problem for you because you don’t want it anyway! ”

Lily let out a quiet laugh at that, feeling her shoulders relax as she released the breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. Marlene didn’t understand completely, that much Lily could tell, but right now that didn’t matter. What mattered was that she accepted this part of Lily, and that’s more than what she could have asked for. “That’ll ruin his ego in no time. Thanks, Marls. I... I don’t get it completely, but you being on board with this means a lot.”

          marlene’s brows furrowed with  confusion,  wondering how on earth anybody could  NOT  be interested in sex.  she was going to question it,  but was she really in a place to do that?  and besides,  it didn’t change anything about lily.  she was still her  BEST FRIEND.  but marlene wouldn’t let that make lily feel bad.  “ there’s nothing  wrong  with that,  lily.  i mean,  sure,  it’s  different,  but you’re still the same lily!  and if james can’t accept that,  he’s just a prick.  love doesn’t equate to  sex,  mate. ”  but she was  still  confused as to how someone didn’t like sex.

Lily watched Marlene nervously as she processed what she’d admitted, chewing on her bottom lip hard enough to taste blood. Different didn’t even start to cover it, and she wasn’t sure anyone would understand. Even though Marlene seemed understanding, Lily still wasn’t sure if she did--it was weird in a sex-crazed world. “I guess so. I just don’t know how to tell James. What if he hates me for it? For not wanting to give him...that? Or--or finds someone else who will? What then?” She loved James too much to try and imagine it not working between them. Not after they’d come so far.
