I'm Going To Be Late ((Nic))

((Slipping in my very last thread at Hogwarts in Lily's 5th year ))

Lily was rushing to the train. She had had to double check that she had everything and it seemed like her trunk was overstuffed. Normally the elves took them, but she hadn't been done packing when they came and she told them to go. She was about to leave when her trunk snapped open and things went flying everywhere. Hurriedly she began to pick up the things. She hoped the train wouldn't leave without her.

Nic had his duffle bag full of junk and a measley trunk walking around the platform to the train when clothes smacked him in the face. "What the -!" Nic stopped dead in his tracks and pulled off the lacy underwear off his head. "Who's throwing panties at me?" Nic looked around laughing.

[hermione7lunaroc]

(( Lily so does not have lacy underwear - you did that on purpose))

"My trunk exploded," Lily grumbled. "I think I tried to fit too much stuff into it." She said, still trying to pick everything up. She didn't look up. She knew who that voice belonged too. How could you not know the voice of someone you went out with. She'd be lucky if he helped her pick it up. Then again, he was still in love with her apparently.

[Nicolae Torque]

{ha! How was I to know? Besides it's funny.}

Nic shook his head. "With as much stuff as you kept in a dufflebag I'm not surpise. Women there was stuff in there that you could live off of for a few months." Nic smiled. He was in an akward situation and at least she was talking to him. "Friends?" He asked a bit hesitantly looking around making sure noone saw him.

[hermione7lunaroc]

Lily continued picking things up. She didn't say anything for a few moments. She wasn't quite sure how she was supposed to answer that. She had a lot of stuff and while some of it was still in her trunk, it was going to be packed even worse than before. "Al-alright," she answered him. He had been there for her through some really rough times after all, Mungo's sorely included. She touched her chest for a moment, thinking about that day.

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic saw her touch her chest and he went to her, but stopped short. He wasn't her boyfriend. He waved her off and pulled out his wand. "Pack!" All her belongings started throwing themselves in, but sloppily and worse than before. "Don't over exert yourself. You're heart." He reminded her. Nic stared at her for a few moments in silence. "What's his name?"

[hermione7lunaroc]

"Whose name?" Lily asked quietly. Her hand fell back to her side and she began putting things in a little better (though still incredibly messy) so that they all fit. Her thin, fragile hands stuffing in every last peice. She closed the trunk, sitting on top of it and then clicking them shut. Suddenly she wasn't so worried about being late. She sat there, fidgeting with one of the locks that refused to shut.

Nic sighed. "You know the dude you're dating now. I'm not even angry or mad or anything. I just wanted to know who he is?" Nic wasn't sure if she was going to tell him. Knowing her she'll deny it and say she wasn't talking to anyone then storm off. "Look nevermind. I rather stay as friends." Nic figured he'll see her with him and then smash his face in.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"I don't have a boyfriend," Lily said quietly. "I liked Scott for a while and I thought he liked me, but I saw him kissing Sonja. He's with her now." She got the lock with a final snap. "I don't even have anywhere to go this summer. I just have to hope that my half-brother I've never even met will take me." She stood up off her trunk, smoothing down her long blue skirt.

[Nicolae Torque]

"Oh." So it was true. She had found some other guy and that was why she wasn't taking me back. Probably some blond with blue eyes. All american type. Nic kept looking at her, a muscle in his jaw twitching. Finally he just walked about 5 feet away and sat down on a bench.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"You hate my guts don't you?" Lily asked quietly. Nic had hurt her badly when he broke his word. Especially since it was something that was so important to her. She wished she knew what he was thinking. Guys were so complicated sometime. She wasn't fragile though, she was tough and she could take care of herself now. Well, that was what she thought.

[Nicolae Torque]

Nic shook his head, but he wasn't sure. He didn't know how to feel. He liked her so much and he undstood he hurt her, but he didn't mean to. He didn't even..."I .. no.. I don't. Just if you were feelin some other boy you should have told me. Sure I might have tried to kill him, but it's the honest thin ta do ya know." Nic glared at her, but all he could see was the sunlight flickering off her gold hair and her blue eyes trying to capture his own.

[hermione7lunaroc]

"I wasn't feeling for him when I broke up with you," Lily said quietly. "I didn't even meet him when I got it into my head that I wanted to break up with you. He came while I was in Germany, I couldn't have met him before I came back." She was quiet again. She would have broke up with him in the hallway except Reina was there. And because it would be cruel to do that first thing off the bat.

[Nicolae Torque]

"Whatever. I don't want to talk about it." True to his word Nic didn't want to. He could barely look at her now. Though he had a lot of questions like did she meet him in germany and what she decided to bring him back? Or she met him after she came back, but he thought he was the first person she saw when she came back. Nic grabbed his head trying not to let the questions slip past his lips. He really needed to check himself.

[hermione7lunaroc]

Lily nodded and turned around to get her trunk. "Well if that's all . . ." She had an idea in her head. You see, there was part of her that still cared for Nic and part of her that remembered Drew had told her to give him a second chance. She reached for her trunk and stopped. She glanced back to Nic. She knew that what she was about to do would get her nothing but trouble, but she was going to do it anyways. She walked slowly over to him, and standing on her tip-toes, she kissed him.

((Edit: I swear she kisses guys on impulse. I had nothing to do with this.))
