Thalia walked into the Great Hall with her head held high and marched past the Marauders. Remus and Eloise both looked like he was about to call out to her but she was already over by the Hufflepuff Table before he got a chance to. Thalia had decided that since her 'friends' were giving her the cold-shoulder, she would do so in return for the sake of her pride and sat down on the Hufflepuff Table next to Nathan.
"Dragon! What a pleasure." the boy grinned and Thalia offered him a weak one in return.
"Hi, Nate." her tone of voice made the grin slip from Nathan's face,
"What's up?" he asked and laid down his knife and fork to put a hand on the girl's shoulder, and Thalia felt her bottom lip tremble.
"Elle and Sirius aren't talking to me." she said quietly, her eyes cast to her hands. She
"What? Why?"
"Because I went on a date with Fabian Prewett and kissed him to spite James." her voice lowered even more and Nate didn't say anything for a few moments. She winced and it hit her that if Nate, one of the most obnoxious people she knew, didn't know what to say in response to that, she really did fuck up.
"Doesn't James like Lily though." he said, no disappointment in his voice and Thalia's head snapped up,
"I mean...I suppose you're right." she mumbled Nate made a noise of thought before standing up abruptly and grabbing Thalia's wrist, "Wha- Nate? What are you doing?" Thalia asked and stumbled after him like a drunk but he didn't answer as he dragged her in the direction of the Gryffindor Table. As soon as she saw where they were headed, she desperately tried to turn around and escape but her strength was no use against the boy who had almost a foot on her. Soon enough they reached the Marauders and the five of them, as well as Lily, turned around.
"Berry, Joker, Specky, Pickle, Noodle and...I don't have a nickname for you Lily. Hmmm, how about...Cherry? Yes, Cherry. Anyway! I think you all need to have a little chat with Dragon here." Nathan flamboyantly gestured to Thalia and gave her a reassuring smile. She stepped forward and took a breath,
"I know you're all angry at me because what I did to Fabian may or may not have been slightly out of order-"
"Slightly?" Lily muttered under her breath and Thalia stopped,
"Something to say, Evans?" she asked, crossing her arms and smiling sweetly. Lily narrowed her eyes,
"I'm just saying that you're using awfully tentative language for someone that kissed a boy just because you saw James was there." she spat and Thalia's nostrils flared,
"Oh, sorry, I must not have been present when it was decreed that it was any of your business." she retorted,
"Hmm, really? It must have come up before you turned up, then." Lily's tone was fierce and Thalia saw the boys look slightly shocked that the usually perfectly polite Lily Evans was being so spiteful,
"Maybe you're right, Evans. It was probably before I took your place." Thalia's face wore a triumphant smirk and Eloise cleared her throat softly, a stern look on her face as it switched between Thalia and Lily,
"Let's save the pettiness, girls."
"Like you can talk, Eloise." At this point, Thalia was getting quite riled up and, instead of agreeing with Eloise like she'd usually do and calming down, she let her anger overrule her logic and decided to stir up the pot a bit.
"Meaning what, Thalia?" The girl crossed her arms and Thalia raised an eyebrow,
"Oh, talking to me again are we? How mature of you." she hissed but faltered when she saw a look of regret fall across Eloise's face,
"I actually wanted to apologise about that," she said quietly,
"You did?" Lily and Thalia said at the same time and Sirius sent the ginger girl a sharp look,
"I owe you an apology too, Thals." the raven-haired boy sighed,
"We jumped to a conclusion about what was happening with you and Fabian before taking into account all of the facts." Eloise's eyes drifted over to James who was staring at the table and avoiding eye contact with everyone. "I'm really sorry that I made you feel so unwelcome yesterday, that was really horrid of me." the girl looked like she was going to cry and Thalia smiled softly,
"That's ok, Elle."
"I'm sorry too!" Sirius raised a hand and Thalia chuckled, "Lou said it better than I ever could but we both planned out our apology together so just imagine that I said that just now." he grinned sheepishly and Thalia bent down, giving the couple a hug.
"How touching." Lily grumbled and Eloise pulled back,
"Can you please just be quiet for more than five minutes, Lily? To be honest this whole thing hasn't much to do with you." she crossed her arms and the redhead's mouth dropped open, an affronted look on her face,
"So are we all going to just forget that she kissed Fabian Prewett just to spite James?! You, as his sister, should work on your loyalty, Eloise."
"Do not talk to her about loyalty, Evans!" Sirius growled, resulting in Lily rearing her head back slightly in shock at Sirius addressing her in such a confrontational way, "You lead James on for years and as soon as someone new shows up that might actually make James happy, you become all territorial and entitled. He isn't your toy."
"Will everyone just stop speaking on behalf of me please!?" James stood from his seat abruptly and everyone stared at him. He ran a hand through his hair and breathed sharply through his nose, sending a look to Thalia before shaking his head angrily and storming out of the Great Hall.
"Now look what you've done." Lily scolded and rushed after him, leaving the Marauder's sat shocked in their seats.
