There was nothing for James to explain to Lily, really; for all she knew, he wasn't to blame at all. That wasn't how it felt to his conscience, though. She had stared right at him, glared at him, and he truly felt as though he'd done something wrong. He'd expected to need to ask for Dumbledore's forgiveness tomorrow, but it wasn't just Dumbledore's understanding that he needed.
He hadn't wanted to leave Carrow immediately, because it would look suspicious, and he hadn't wanted to ruin the chance to get just a little bit more detail, since Carrow had seemed willing to talk to him at last. But as soon as he could excuse himself, he explained briefly to Sirius that he needed to patch things up with Lily - it hadn't taken much explanation.
Then he was off, finding a nook to remove his disguise, shrinking his robe and stuffing it into his pocket, until he stepped out looking like himself. He set off at a run in the direction Lily had taken, keeping an eye out for her fiery red hair. At least she was hard to miss in a crowd.
He spotted her near the exit to the Leaky, and put on a new burst of speed, calling her name. He caught up to her just before she went in, and rested his hand against the wall, slightly out of breath. "Lily," he said, managing a little smile. "Hey. Are you going - can I come with you? I need to talk to you."
