She wanted to get out of this house, she loved her parents dearly, but Hogwarts was her home. Something about the haunted halls and dwelling secrets was so inviting to her. She flopped back down onto her bed, covering her eyes and letting out a small groaning noise. She turned over and looked at her clock, 7:45 illuminated the room in bright red letters, causing Lily to smack her palm to her head.

"If no one comes by noon, we’ll have to have the strongest apperate to The Ministry, until then we need to keep everyone calm and together." He said as he looked at her slightly worried. "Why hasn’t Dumbledore come?" He asked as he looked at her in a worried way.

Finally she had a place to think, a place to mull over her gathering thoughts. The first one to her mind was obvious, what was wrong with her. She cradled her head in her hands as she imagined James Potter in her mind, a fire growing within her. What was it about him that made her so angry, a long list of personality aspects jumped into her mind, and yet none of them fit why the emotion was so deep. She wished he would just disappear, for if he did he life would suddenly become so much easier.

"Watch your back Zabini.” James warned in a deadly manor, his eyes burning with pain. His hands were so tightly bawled into fists he could feel his nails cutting crescent shaped holes into his skin. His feet fell heavily to the ground as he stormed to the Gryffindor Common Room; he needed to talk to Sirius badly. He felt tears burning his eyes once more, falling slowly down his cheeks. He quickly swiped them away with the back of his sleeve; no one was going to see James Potter, Golden Boy of Hogwarts, crying.

Tales of how Eric Zabini and preformed an Unforgivable Curse on James Potter soon erupted through Hogwarts, the only difference it had from the truth was how James rose and defeated him single handedly as Lily cowered in the corner. Lily walked down the hall with her books against her chest, watching as people glared at her hatefully.

“I am only as Black as your Fiancée, cousin dearest.” Sirius laughed as Lucius whipped back around. Lucius glared at him as he turned away from Sirius once more. “Are you shying off Lucius? I knew you were a coward, but even before Narcissa?” Sirius was the one with the drawn wand now, aiming it directly at Lucius’s back. “Remember Malfoy, I grew up in the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, I know curses that will make your head spin.” He smirked.

“I delivered no such message.” McGonagall said as she stepped out of the shadows. “I’ve been hear the whole time.” She said with a perplexed look. James and Lily turned to each other, confusion etched on their face.

“Well you better owl her back and tell her to set an extra place.” James smiled widely at Lily and brought his lips to her’s.
