And this time, Remus didn't do anything. Just stood there with his arms crossed, head bowed slightly, eyes shut. Tobias leapt away from Sadie as she kicked him, muttering under his breath. And for once, he didn't lunge at Remus, who stood opposite him. Remus seemed to be calmer now, his chest not heaving as much as it had been.
Sure, he still hurt. And the fact that Tobias had called Lily a mudblood had sent his blood boiling, but Remus had to calm down first. It wouldn't do anyone any good if he remained out of control. "Tobias," he began, his voice flat and toneless- forced. "Give it back to me, now." "Why's it so important?" Tobias snapped, his fist clenched around something. Perhaps the calm Remus was a lot more daunting than an angry one. "My mother gave it to me." Remus answered. softly.

"Lily? Are you okay?" she asked genuinely concerned about the redhead. "You didn't hurt yourself or anything?" she asked before glaring at Tobias.
"If she is hurt you are dead, ok? I'll kick your arse from her to Timbuktu.." she growled before looking from him to Remus.
"Your mom gave it to you?" she asked a little shocked that Tobias could steal something so important.
"How could you take something so precious to Remus?"

A surge of sympathy welled up in Lily's throat. "You inconsiderate bastard." She muttered at Tobias, spitting the last word as if the even talking to him conjured up a bitter taste in ythe back of her throat. How had she ever liked someone like that?
And then it hit her. He had lied as well, and she had almost believed him. The whole thing with 'What are you talking about Remus' and 'I don't know what he's talking about.' The fibbing git! Glaring at the older boy, emerald eyes transforming into angry slits of hatred, Lily turned to Sadie. "Thank you, and I'm fine, really."

"How was I supposed to know?" Tobias snapped, black eyes glaring at each person in turn. "It's just a tooth. A fang. Could've been a Potions ingredient. How I was supposed to know?" Tobias repeated. Remus stood there, leaning against the wall, one hand now outstretched. But Tobias wasn't handing anything over to Remus.
"And anyway, Lily," Tobias spat the word, glaring sharply at her. "I don't care what you think of me. I never felt anything for you." A soft, strange smile flickered over his face, as the lad turned on his heels and strode off. Something clattered to the floor- a single fang on a piece of string.

Lily, who would cry later no doubt, slowly went and picked up the fang on the floor. Handling it gently she picked it up and headed over to Remus. The hard outlines of tears on her face. Holding out her open palm, Lily smiled. "There you go, Remus." She said quietly before wiping her cheeks with a trembling hand.

"Don't woprry you two, I'll beat him up later. And that's a promise.." she said before walking over to the two.
She put a comforting arm around both of their shoulders as she slipped in between them. "Tobias sure fooled us all, Huh?"

"Oh, Lily!" Remus cried, walking forrwards and wrapping his arms around the girl. "I'm sorry I got you pulled into this. I'm sorry you ever met Tobias- he's a jerk. Always has been, always will." He rubbed her back in what he hoped was a comforting way. For Remus had never been that good at comforting other people, so he hoped he wasn't making her feel awkward.

Lily smiled at Sadie as she came over and hugged her. "I thought I really liked him, and I thought he really liked me." Lily said as she sighed and shook her head. "I couldn't like him after doing that to one of my friends." She said forcing a grin at Remus. "What a git." She said lowering her large, glistening eyes to the floor.
"It's not your fault Remus." She said as he embraced her and let the large tears roll freely down her pale cheek.

Remus sighed, gently taking the fang from Lily's hand. A soft smile adorning his face as he slipped the string around his neck and tied it. He hugged Lily again, noticing the tears that now rolled down her cheek. "Tobias is a..- hard shell to crack, if you get me. You can never know what he's thinking or planning." Remus whispered softly.

A tall boy jumped from the sixth stop of a moving staircase, only narrowly landing where he wished to - for the staircase was in motion.
Stumbling slightly as he landed, Sirius swore. Having regained his balance, the teen began to run - his occupation before jumping from the staircase. Behind him, a sprightly caretaker (replacing the former one) stood on the stairs, furiously shaking a fist.
Turning back to face the way in whcih he was running, Sirius stifled a laugh, rounding a corner as he did so.
Now, out of sight of the care-taker, the boy slowed, beginning to whistle. He brushed dark locks from his eyes s he walked, grinning slightly - that was, of course, until he caught sight of his friends - and their obviously subdued moods.
Frowning, he picked up his speed, eyes focused on the crying Lily. "What's going on?" he asked as he approached, "Why's Lily crying?"

((O.o I just came up with a potion for the cure to lycanthropy. -goes to right it down for future fanfiction or RP.))
Walking quickly down the hall, a pale girl with a look of confusion approched. "Whats wrong? Did sokemthing happen to Lily?" The girls eyes were bright with worry, her brunette hair falling in her face. This was Anya Delioncour, one of Lily's best friends. And if anyone hurt Lily, they'd have her to deal with. And judging from Sadies looks, her too.

James stood there, the picture of confusement (sp?) What was going on?
Lily was, judging by the tears, distraught, Sadie wasn't looking to happy either.
He wandered to Sirius' side and gave him a look as if to say 'Do-you-have-any-idea-what-has-happened?'

Lily wrapped her arms around Remus' neck and laid her head on his shoulder, her red-hair cutaining her face from view. What she needed now was to sleep. "Thanks, I'm okay now." She said gently pulling her body away from his. "I guess the worst thing about all this is that Black was right after all." Lily said as she managed a weak smile. Wiping the tears away from her cheeks with a pale hand she smiled. "Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" She asked quietly, her brow creasing into a frown.

((Time for Anya to get jelous! Well start anyway.))
"Hello? Are you ignoring me?" her voice had a cold edge to it now. After all, Lily and Remus looked wuite cozy, and she didn't like that. She tried to brush the feeling away. After all, this was LILY. Her best friend since forever! It was just a friendly hug...right?

"That git Tobias took a necklace that Remus' mom gave to him, strangled Remus, pushed Lily over, called her a mudblood and told her he didn't care about her.." she explained to the three newcomers.
