Accepting the Truth - Chapter One

(Authors note: )

Hey, this is my first story. Fun times. Critism would be great, as I know I'm not the most experienced of writers. This may get a bit, suggestive as we move on, which is why it had the M rating. Ill clearly label all chapters with suggestive activity so you can skip them if you want. Anyway enjoy!

The library was warm. Surprising, Lily Evans thought, as she sat writing a potions essay, as it was a winter's afternoon. Sunlight poured in through the windows, bathing her and her essay on Amortentia in gentle light. There was silence through the library, but for the scratching of quills upon parchment.

It was sixth year, so naturally they got free periods in which to study. This particular period, upon this Wednesday afternoon she shared with her new found friend and study-buddy Remus Lupin.

He sat across from her, long dirty blond hair obscuring his face as he scrawled notes down onto parchment. Lily had found friendship with Remus at the end of the fifth year, and while she would never admit it, she began to feel less irritated with James Potter. Peter Pettigrew she never really spoke to, the other one however.

Her train of thought was interrupted however as the library doors burst open. Both she and Remus looked up, startled by the ferocity as an action. Lily, seeing grinning faced Sirius Black standing in the doorway, sighed, before slamming her face into her essay, nearly smudging her ink.

'Hey Sirius' Remus said, eyes turning back to his notes.
'Evans,' Sirius nodded to Lily as he took the seat next to Remus.
'Hey Remus, you know that spare bottle of polyjuice potion I asked you to smuggle out of potions?' asked Sirius, his tone surprisingly innocent.
'Yes...' Remus said, his eyebrows raised.
'I was wondering, could I borrow a few hairs of yours?'
'Why...'
'Oh, no real reason'
'I'm not going to ask' Remus sighed, raising his wand and carefully removing a few strands of hair from his head.
'Evans? Could I ha..'
'No' Lily retorted, not looking up.
'Fine' Sirius grunted, putting Remus' hairs into a small phial and standing up. 'I'll see you later Rem, hey can I copy your History of Magic essay later?'
'You fell asleep again didn't you?'
'Maybe...'
'Fine, but only because I nearly did, who knew Putrin the Putrid could be so boring with a name like that.'
'Thanks' Sirius said, patting Remus on the shoulder before hurriedly walking out the library.

'I don't know why you do what he says' Lily states as she and Remus walk back to the Gryffindor Common Room.
'Neither do I half the time, but you promised you'd tell me what James did after you offered to help him with his Charms essay!'
'Fainted, but why? I've seen you turn down James many a time for prank materials, and less serious ones than your hair, like when he asked you to charm a Venomous Tentacular to fly and to turn its teeth into dentures.'
'I don't know then, I just do'
'Wait' Lily stopped, halfway through the corridor, causing two first years walking behind her to bump into each other, so sudden her stop. 'The last person you went out with was Moira Midgen, before her acne came in, back in Second Year, right?'
'Yes...' Remus replied, partly unsure and partly nervous about where this was going.
'And no girls caught your eye for 3 whole years?'
'None of them are, right. I mean you are obviously perfect in every way, and everything. But no others, they all seem wrong.'
'What about Bellatrix Black, I mean she's crazy but she's quite pretty, or Lucy Abbot, she's very beautiful. Cynthia Andrews, the one Xenophilius Lovegood went out with before he left, in the year above, she is gorgeous.'
'No, none of them, I mean, they all have something going for them, except Bellatrix, she is all kinds of crazy wrong'.
'Oh my god...'
'Lily what in Merlin's sake is this about?'
'You... you like Sirius'. She knew it was true, for a split second, Remus' cheeks flushed, his eyes flushed before darting away.
'No, no that's ridiculous. I've just remembered, I have to go and see professor Slughorn about my Amortentia essay' he shouted as he ran down the corridor.

In that moment, all Lily felt was sadness and sympathy.

'You're saying Evans offered to help you with the Charms essay?!' Sirius bellowed as he and James walked down the 7th floor corridor.
'Yeah, did you get any hair?'
'Remus, Evans refused, Frank, Amelia, Lottie, Helli, Sarah, Luke, Arryn and Florence and Peter. Not all of them were taken with knowledge'

In that instant, Remus turned the corner, and hit Sirius full on, knocking them both to the ground.
'Speak of the Devil' James said as Remus saw who he knocked into, murmured a quick apology and rose and ran, down the corridor. 'That was kind of weird, anyway, lets keep planning.'
'Yeah, weird' Sirius muttered, as his eyes lingered where Remus had disappeared and his heart slowed to it's normal pace.

I hope anyone who read it enjoyed. A favourite or a follow or anything of that description would be fantastic, and any critique would be great'.

Here's a glimpse of what you can expect next chapter:

'Lily I don't want to talk about it!'
'Remus please I just want to HELP!'

Sirius looked down into April Dents eyes as she lay beneath him, and his one thought: 'I can't do this anymore'

'JAMES I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU TURNED PROFESSOR MCGONNAGAL INTO PETER PRETTIGREW IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL!'
