Who: Lily Evans and Gideon Prewett. What: Debriefing after ~LideonGate '76~ Where: Hospital Wing When: Thursday evening, after Rita's post Rating: PG-13? Let's see how upset the two get. Status: Incomplete
Lily had been bored in the Hospital Wing, still recovering from Carrow's deliberate attacks on her, and decided to peruse the journals, even if writing made her arms ache and her head still pound. She had a few of her friends stop by to check on her, but Madame Pomfrey had shooed them away, chirping about Lily's "healing process" or some nonsense. With everyone gone and left to her own devices in a relatively quiet wing, she was at a loss for what to do. So, of course, the journals seemed to be the perfect answer.
Just as she opened the journal, a new entry from Rita Skeeter, Gossip Queen of Hogwarts, informing the masses that she, Lily, and Gideon were dating. How did she know? And what in God's name gave Skeeter the right to do this? Lily was furious. She felt she had to defend herself, but at the same time, why? She really owed James Potter nothing - Black was basically insinuating that she was Potter's, for no one else to take. That pissed her off more than anything. She felt like his property, the way they were talking about her. After responding furiously to a bevy of replies to the entry, face reddening with each new shot by Black or Skeeter. Eventually, she just asked Gideon to come back to the Hospital Wing, snapped her journal shut and broke the quill in her hands. Great. Hands stained with black ink, she sighed, letting her hands drop to her lap, and looked at the entry way for Gideon to come through. The look of mixed pain, anger and upset was apparent on her face.
