Turbulence

Chapter Twenty - Betrayal

Well last night was interesting. My grandma bit her tongue and because she's on blood-thinning tablets, her tongue would stop bleeding. So mum took her to the hospital and had to stay in there for most of the night. I'm exhuasted!

Anyway, enjoy! Oh the angst in this chapter. So much drama xD Let me know what you think xx

Lily woke that Monday morning to a loud ringing filling her ears. As her brain became more aware of her surroundings, the ringing noise slowly transformed into a steady beeping. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, squinting in the brightness. Lily heard a groan next to her and she remembered she was in James' bed.

She located the irritating beeping noise and discovered James' clock on his bedside table, its numbers flashing red. Why the hell was it going off at 8:00am? Lily cursed, remembering it was Monday and they had classes. She hung her head, detesting the thought of leaving James' warm bed. But she couldn't go back to sleep, so she got up grudgingly and bent over James.

She placed her hands on his arm and shoulder, shaking him to wake him up. James groaned again and reached over to his bedside table, picking up his wand. He flicked it and immediately the beeping noise stopped. James buried himself under the covers.

"I don't think so," Lily said, pulling the covers out of his grip. "Get up!" James sat up grumpily and watched Lily bustle around the room, opening the curtains.

"Come on, Lil, just ten more minutes." James pleaded. Lily shook her head.

"No, because that ten will turn into twenty and then thirty and so on. I am not missing breakfast." She stated. When James ignored her and pulled the pillow over his head, Lily picked up his wand and chimed, "Aguamenti!" sending water splashing over him. James shrieked and jumped out bed, cursing.

"What the bloody hell was that for?" He exclaimed, throwing his hands up. Lily watched smugly, pleased with herself. She put his wand down and left.

"You better be ready when I come back." She said smiling over her shoulder, knowing that he definitely wouldn't be going back to bed now.

Lily got dressed into her uniform slowly, then tried to tame her bed hair. She was still a bit groggy after last night. She grinned, remembering certain events that happened on their couch.

After packing all her homework into her bag and checking her hair, Lily walked back out to James' room and knocked before answering. He wasn't in there, but Lily could hear the water running in his bathroom. Thinking that James was cutting it very fine, Lily left a note on his bed before leaving.

Gone down to breakfast, see you in potions.

I love you,

Lily.

She bounded down to breakfast, happy to some extent until she saw Sirius, remembering what he had said last night. She scowled but joined them anyway, seeing ads Morgan and Louise were there. Louise was sitting next to Remus with his arm wrapped around her waist. Morgan was next to Sirius, his arm around her shoulders, listening to something he was whispering to her. Lily suspected it was about her, because as she sat down, Sirius stopped whispering and Morgan looked at her nervously.

"Hi everyone," she said awkwardly, feeling like the third-wheel. Well, the fifth-wheel in this case. She wished James were here, he always knew what to do in awkward setting.

She ate her breakfast quickly; eager to get out of there and leave, even though she would be way early for Potions. But as she arrived at the Potions classroom, she noticed she wasn't the only one there early.
