Celestina raised an eyebrow at James.. "Ha! very funny... yes.. I saw the two of you... in the grass.. shagging." She said simply, her blue eyes taking on an absolutely frigid look. All too familiar, but no one could be quite sure where they had seen those normally kind blue eyes before..
"Perhaps you should find a better place where an unsuspecting person wouldn't walk up and catch you!? Or did you suspect I would just keep my mouth shut and watch you pretend to love Lily while cheating on her with someone else? I don't think so! Friends don't do that sort of thing!" She whispered fiercely. "I saw the two of you.. "

James watched as Lily put her head down on the table. He wanted to go to her, to be next to her, to take her away from what was going on around them. He could hardly listen to what Celestina was saying because it struck a chord within him. He listened to the things she said about him and thought That's not who I am... He didn't know what to do. He had never had anyone stand up to him like this or accuse him of what she was accusing him of. Normally James was a relatively carefree person, he didn't care for much that didn't involve having a good time and tended to keep himself out of too serious of trouble. He had never really had cause to be really upset about anything. And no one except his parents and maybe Sirius had ever seen him angry. But now, he was furious.
"Stop it! Just stop!" he shouted at her, banging his fist on the table and knocking some silverware to the ground. Then lowering his voice a little, so that the whole room wouldn't be privy to the rest of their conversation. "You don't have any idea what you're talking about. Do you honestly believe that I would shag someone in public?!? Out in the middle of school grounds for everyone to walk by and take a peek?!? What do you take me for? If you have a problem with me, fine. But, don't you dare say stuff like that..." he said bitterly. He let out a sigh of frustration. He looked down at Lily and wished that she would just look back at him. If she did, she would know how much he cared about her.

Visibly flinching away from James, Emmeline watched him with wide eyes. Her heart pounded violently as he continued talking. The last word barely left his lips before she started defending herself. Little did she know how far she'd go with it. "Stop! You don't know anything about me. I'm a bloody virgin, for Merlin's sake! Would you just stop talking! You're idea is so bloody insane!" she didn't care she was yelling. Rule number one with Emme, once you get her started, you can't stop her. "I'll tell you why, even! Okay?! I'm scared to death to even think about having sex with anyone! What to know why?!" Her question was loud before she dropped her voice, but only slightly. "I've never put myself in a situation that could even lead to sex ever since that sick ex of mine tried to rape me in-" She stopped short. She never told that to anyone. Looking truly scared, she did the only thing she could think of. She ran. Reaching the doors, she stood there awkwardly as she realized her bag was under the Gryffindor table.
Why did I have to start talking? I could have just got up and left, then the Great Hall wouldn't have just heard that. Damn it! she yelled at herself, angry tears appearing in her eyes.[/size]

Celestina felt suddenly as if she was going to be sick..."Oh... Mon... Dieu.." She whispered, sinking onto the bench... "James.... you two... were just.." She swallowed.. "Just kissing... but... when I looked at you.." her face had gone very very pale.. her eyes looking overly large for her face as tears pooled in the corners of them.
"The way I saw you.. it... looked like.. I .. I mean I never.. had.. much.. experience.. with um.. that.. before and I only saw you for a minute.. and.. I ... I thought.." She felt her face begin to go a lot less pale and a whole lot more red until it was practically the color of the Gryffindor banner.
"I.. I'm sorry..." she whispered, shaking her head. "All I ever wanted was to fit in.. do the right thing... make some close friends.. find a place for myself in the world and get to know my..." she choked and shook her head, before taking off in the opposite direction at a dead run.

Lily flinched at every word James yelled. She was truely hurting. Her eyes closed tighter an she gripped the table. But when Emme started yelling, she looked up, but instead of meetin her eyes, she met James. The look in his eyes almost tore her apart, inside out. His eyes were so sad and full of love, but at this point, she couldn't take it. She turned away and gathered her stuff.
She looked over at Celestina and gave her a sort of really sad look. Then, she stood up and began to make her way out of the hall, silently. She passed the area where Emmeline was standing, but didn't look at her, just walked past and sat on the steps that would lead her up to her tower. After about a minute, she lay down, her hair falling down to one side and a silent tear fell down her face. She could only rember one other time in her life when she was this sad. And that was the day her sister denyed knowing her.

Just as James had finished shouting Emme took over for him. He vaguely listened to what she said while watching Lily for any kind of sign, of recognition that he was getting through to her. He cocked his head slightly when she said she was a virgin, but didn't allow any kind of smile to creep onto his face. He knew personally that that was a lie. Still, as she kept talking a genuine frown developed on his face.
"I'm scared to death to even think about having sex with anyone!"
His heart jumped a little with fear and panic. Oh God! Did she regret it? Did he force her into it? He couldn't remember anything as he hadn't really been thinking clearly, but he didn't think he had. Well, she had stopped him for a moment... but, she changed her mind, right?
"I've never put myself in a situation that could even lead to sex ever since that sick ex of mine tried to rape me in-"
Wait. What?! He didn't know what was going on, but he immediately felt guilty. Even if it wasn't his fault, he felt guilty anyways. If she didn't put herself in a situation that could lead to sex than who did? Well, James had... and there lay the source of his guilt. He closed his eyes and dropped his head into his hands. He felt Emme get up from the seat next to him and leave. He looked up when he heard Celestina speaking again. Seriously, he had had enough of her and didn't care to hear anything she had to say. But, he couldn't bring himself to prostest and so resigned himself to listening to what she was saying.
He was grateful that out came an apology and not more accusations, but this wasn't something he could forgive easily. Then, suddenly both of them got up and left as well. James was left there stewing in the mess that had been created and all the words that had been said. Still, in the end, James only cared about one thing, Lily. Slowly he got up from the table without having touched any of his own breakfast. He walked out of the hall dragging his feet, his eyes were glazed over and he looked as sad as he probably ever had at school. He found Lily on the steps to the portrait hole and tenatively sat next to her... though not too close for fear that she was still upset with him. "I'm sorry... for um- yelling. I just- are you ok?" That wasn't all he wanted to apologize for, but at the same time, he didn't want to bring up anything that would have a negative impact. He didn't know what else to say to make everything alright again.

Lily had closed her eyes when she felt someone sit next to her, then heard a familiar voice. She opened her green eyes to only see James sitting there, a look of genuine concern on his face. She heard his words, but shook her head and once again gathered her stuff. She then stood up and looked him in the eyes.
"It's fine James... but no, I'm not alright. I just-" her voice began to choke and she turned away from him. "I'm done..." she said, then made her way up the stairs, through the commonroom and into her dorm.

He wanted to put his arm around her, to hold her hand, to say something comforting, but none of those things happened. "But- I, wai- it's- no..." he stuttered almost inaudibly, unable to come up with a convincing arguement. Instead, he was forced to watch her walk up those stairs. He thought back to the last time he had been in this position. His emotions then were about as far away as possible from what he was currently feeling. What did she mean by done? Forever? That couldn't be it? They had been so happy together for a breif time? She couldn't just brush that aside... could she?
