You're WHAT?"

"I'm animagus, Lily." James said, warily backing away from the glaring red-head. He knew from 6 years of experience that Lily Evans had a huge temper. Especially for such a small girl. He had often been the victim of that temper, though, admittedly, he was also the one that caused it. "So are Sirius and Peter. You know that Remus is a werewolf, and we became animagus in fifth year because we saw how much he was hurting himself on the full moon. When we are there as animals, we can calm him down and keep him company."

"I can't believe this! That is so stupid!" Lily yelled, then she paused, cocking her head to the side in confusion. "Wait, why hasn't the Ministry tracked you down yet? You're all underage, it's not allowed."

James cringed slightly and moved back a few more steps to get out of her hitting range. The girl had a mean arm. "Well...we're not really registered–"

"You're animagus ILLEGALLY?!" she shrieked. Her green eyes flashed.

"Yes! What did you expect, Lily? We never really obeyed the rules, and just like you said, if we were registered, the Ministry of Magic would know about it, and therefore, they would know about Remus. We couldn't do that to him."

"I can't believe this...you..." words seemed to fail her, she was so angry.

"Why are you so mad?" James said, exasperated.

"BECAUSE! You're Head Boy and supposed to be responsible! Because you kept this from me! You lied to me! Just when I thought you had deflated your head, James. Just when I thought that we could be friends. Just when I think that I might-" she stopped suddenly.

"you might what?" James asked quietly, hoping, with all his heart that she was going to continue. "You think you might what?"

She shook her head, looking at the floor, hiding the tears that were building up in her eyes. "I can't believe you James. I thought we were friends."

"We are! We have been getting along great for the whole year! We are Head Boy and Girl, we share a common room! We have to be friends. We are friends!"

"No we're not! Friends don't keep secrets like this from each other! It just doesn't work!"

"I'm so sorry, Lily. Really I am." James was almost begging at this point. He didn't want to lose her. Not again. They had been getting along great. Not one fight in over three months! That was a record.

They had been on first-name terms since the beginning of the year, when Lily had agreed to giving friendship a try seeing as they were the Heads together. They had gotten really close. Until Sirius let it slip at lunch that he and James had to help Remus that night, because it was full moon. So James had no choice but to tell Lily everything. That had not exactly gone to plan.

"You have to understand, it wasn't really my place to tell. I wanted to tell you ages ago, but I needed to get Moony's permission first. We did all this for him. You don't know what it's like for him."

Lily sighed quietly, and finally looked up at him. He was shocked to see that her emerald eyes were shining with unshed tears. In his opinion, it only made her look more beautiful, but he was too afraid to admit it out loud. "I know I don't, Potter." A spear went through his heart from the way she spat his last name, "and I'm sure that you, Sirius and Peter are very good friends to him. It's just obvious that we can't be."

With that, she turned and walked out of the Heads common room, leaving James standing there, stunned as she slammed the portrait.
