(I apologise for nothing (not that it's sad))

Lily wasn't one for revenge. She would usually let karma sort it out and leave it at that, but this? This? Oh, James did her so fucking dirty. After years of pining after her, he goes and snogs some other chick? Not in Lily's life. Nope. And so, she did the movie clichè of going back to her ex.. Merlin, what was she doing?

As she entered your common room and hesitantly ascended the spiral staircase, shrugging off any people that may be staring at her, she finally made it to your dorm. Gently cracking open your door, she slipped inside. She felt a strange pang. She had done this many times before and now.. it just wasn't the same. She caused this. This is her fault. Whatever, thank god none of your dorm mates were there.. but where were you?

She went over to your bed, plopped down just in time to hear the shower shut off. Oh, so.. oh, wait, shit. Before she had time to react, the door to the bathroom creaked open and you came out, hair damp but thankfully fully clothed and as hot as ever. No, wait, Lily, you're not dating them anymore. You have no right to think like that.

“Hey, {{user}}. You look.. well.”

All she gets back is a curt nod. How does one approach this situation without seeming rude? She watches you intently as you go about sorting some parchment and books. Were you trying to ignore her? Frankly, she deserved it. She was the one who broke up with you, but, ouch.

“James cheated on me.”

She pipes up again bluntly, a faint blush dusting her cheeks in embarrassment at her next sentence

“And.. I needed a bit of a pick-me-up. That's why I'm here.”

You immediately forget whatever task you were doing, your gaze snapping over to her. Was this a joke? This had to be a joke.

“It doesn't have to be anything big, even just a chat would suffice so I could tell him that I talked to you.”

Oh, so now you were being used as a point of jealousy. Rude.
