A/N: Hey! I'm thinking all of my reviews were good....but, Callie, I don't know if yours was a flame or not. How was it evil? It's my fic, and I didn't mean for it to seem evil, its not evil, so you can't CALL it evil! FYI, the REAL Lindsey thought that up, and I added stuff to it! Besides, thats like saying to JKR "I liked your books alot. Until Sirius died (sorry if I just ruined the book for anyone!). That was evil and completely unexpected. How could you do that to Harry?" So, continue reading! Everything is not as it seems.....heh.... Welcome to Chapter One, Part Two! If you didn't read part one, the title is The Unknowns and the Marauders.Oh, P.S....when it has the song, I don't know if those are the exact lyrics, I couldn't find them online....so, sorry if they're wrong.^_^;;

Part Two: New Beginnings

Chapter One: Recovery

It was the day after the induction to the Order of the Phoneix. Christy and Lily sat on the couch in their shared apartment, staring at the T.V. screen without really caring what was on. Dumbledore had told them it would be a very hard road to the defeat of Voldemort, but they had to be strong. For the wizarding world. For each other. For Lindsey.

Sirius, James, and Brantley, Kaitlin's new boyfriend, walked into the apartment. Trent and Kaitlin had gotten into an argument about the Order. Trent said it was useless to defy Voldemort, when it was obvious he was stronger. Kaitlin had modified his memory slightly before she broke up with him so that if he did indeed become a Death Eater he couldn't tell Voldemort about the Order or his ex-girlfriends home and base. Kaitlin came in a few minutes after the boys, her arms loaded with food. She started putting it away before asking, "What did Dumbledore say?" They paused a minute.

"He said we should train some before we go on a mission or anything." Sirius said finally.

"I agree with him. We need to be stronger if we plan to do any damage at all." Christy said.

"Yeah, but I just wanna get out there and FIGHT!" James said, pounding his fist on the table. Just then Remus walked in, looking bedraggled and tired.

"Did I miss something?" he asked.

"No, Dumbledore just said that we should train more before a mission." Brantley said.

"Oh. Ok." Remus said. He sighed and walked over to the kitchen to get something to eat. He had a distant, faraway look in his eyes. Christy stood up suddenly, and walked over to him.

"Remus....it's going to be hard...but first you have to stop blaming yourself. Please Remus." She hugged him, and he cried.

"I'm sorry, it's just I loved her so much, and now she's gone, and I'll never see her again!" he sobbed.

"You'll see her again, just not on earth." Christy said, patting his shoulder. "Trust me, everything'll be just fine." They released each other, and Christy went to grab some French toast sticks from the freezer. She heated them magically, then sat on the balcony. Sirius walked out soon after her and closed the sliding glass door.

"Christy...." he said.

She started crying. "I wish I could've tried to save her, I should've tried, I miss her so much, she was my best friend, I love her so much, she should be here eating with us, we should be laughing and chatting and having fun and-"

"Christy. Please, it's not your fault, and we can't dwell on what might've been." He took her hand and sighed. "It was over quickly. She didn't suffer but very little. And knowing Lindsey, I'd say she would want you to come and play a game of Muggle Twister with us to loosen the mood up a little, what do you say?" Christy smiled, finished her French toast sticks, and nodded. "All right, but I'm gonna whoop your butt." He grined. "Sure, sure."

"Left foot blue!" Remus said with a grin. Christy stretched her left foot under Sirius, behind Lily, and placed her left foot on blue. Half way through the game, Kaitlin was in her own little corner, Brantley bent over with his face towards her like a dog, and Christy was twisted into contortions under Sirius, looking at his stomach, and Lily between them in a very uncomfortable position. "Right hand red." Sirius moved his hand from yellow to red....and fell. "ARRGH!" Sirius fell, bringing with him Lily and Christy, who grabbed Kaitlin, who grabbed Brantley. "I win!" Brantley said. Christy groaned from underneath Sirius and Lily.

"As comfortable as I am.....COULD YOU GET OFF?" Christy yelled. Sirius laughed, kissed her on the forehead, and leaped up. She propped herself up on her hands. "That was fun!" she said with a smile.

"Yeah." Sirius said. Just then an owl flew through the open sliding glass door. "Hmm." Sirius said, recognizing the owl as Dumbledore's. He took the letter and the owl sat serenly looking at him. The letter was addressed to him.

"Sirius, what's that?" Christy said, coming over to him. Remus, Brantley, James, Lily, and Kaitlin came over to see what it was. He read it swiftly without replying to any comments anyone was saying.

Dear Sirius: You might not consider this a regret, but it is with regrets I must inform you that your parents are dead. I cannot write much more, I have a dreadfully important deadline to meet soon, but if you stop by my office I might be able to give you a few hazy details Albus Dumbledore

Sirius looked up. "They're dead." he said, a tiny grin flickering across his face. "My parents are dead." No one was quite sure how to react. They knew Sirius hated his parents, but did he wish them dead? "Wow... I never expected it." he said. "I wonder what ever became of my 'wonderful' brother." he added.

"So is this a good thing?" James asked tentatively. Sirius paused a moment to think about that one. He sincerely hated his parents. He knew they hadn't been Death Eaters, but did support Voldemort's cause, and he didn't like them at all. His whole family was a waste of space.

"Mmmmm...I guess so. I'm NOT going to the funeral, that's for sure. I doubt anyone will, besides Regulus." he said. "Is Dumbledore going to give us assigments or jobs or missions or ANYTHING soon?" he asked James, wanting to change the subject.

"Well, he asked us all to come by his office. They're looking for a new headquarters last I heard, but he wants to explain to us what kind of stuff we can do." he explained. Sirius nodded, sighed, and got something to eat. Christy walked out on the balcony. She turned right and looked south into the clear sky. She saw James and Lily get up and walk to the back of the house. She sighed. It was a hard, long path trying to get over her best friends death. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at the constellation Libra (A/N: I don't know what time or direction every constellation comes out/is located, so if I'm incorrrect, just live with it, don't bother pointing it out). Lindsey had been a Libra.....The sliding glass door opened behind her. She felt a comforting arm around her waist. Sirius stood beside her and pulled her close to him.

"I miss her so much." Christy said, staring up at Libra.

"I know you do...I know you do." He kissed the top of her head and she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Why'd she have to die?" she sobbed, crying into his shoulder.

"I don't know any better than you do;but Remus does feel bad about it. On the bright side, she was in her fox form, so at least if she had lived and hadn't changed she wouldn't be a werewolf." he said, trying to help.

"That's a creative bright side." she said, smiling slightly. She looked back into the southern sky. "There's your consteallation, Canis Major." she said, pointing it out. "And there's you, my shining star." she said, again pointing out the too-familiar star.

"I wish there was a star named Christy." Sirius said. He looked down into her eyes and kissed her on the lips. He put his arms around her waist, and she put her arms around his neck. When the passionate kiss ended, they sat on the edge of the balcony together, looking up at the stars.

Remus sat in a corner of his shared room. He was by himself currently, but no matter; he liked being alone. It gave him time to ponder. Lindsey......she had been so loving, so accepting....she loved him though she knew he was a werewolf. He told himself it wasn't his fault, but he felt he was lying to himself. Remus sighed and turned on the radio. His song for Lidnsey came on and he cried.....

A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same. But all the miles that seperate Disappear with memories of your face. I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight its only you and me. The miles just keep rolling As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go. I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me Everything I've known Anywhere I go Its gets harder but it won't take away my love When the last one falls When its all said and done It gets hard but it won't take away my love I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl its only you and me.

Remus cried. He missed Lindsey so much, and it was all his fault she was dead. He couldn't lie to himself anymore, it was all his fault, and nothing could bring her back. She was gone......forever....

Lily sat with James on the couch, staring at the Muggle entertainment center they had bought. Lily had told James it was called a television; he was still fascinated with it. "You still miss her, don't you?" James asked when Lily sighed discontentedly and leaned her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him and nodded. James put his arm around her. "It'll be ok, really. Soon, Voldemort will be defeated and we'll be living happy lifes together, and Lindsey will be smiling on us from above!" he said, hugging her. She smiled.

"Yeah. I suppose." she said.

"You suppose? Come on, Lil. Cheer up! The road to recovery may be long, but I miss my Lily." James said, smiling at her. She smiled feebly. "It's ok. One good thing is, Peter is going to be visiting soon. Remember how mad he was at us when Brantley took his place? I think he's forgiven us, we're still brothers, you know. Just take out your sadness and anger on Voldemort,and maybe if you're lucky you can take out some anger on that backstabber ex of Kaitlin's, Trent." he finished, hugging her tight. Suddenly they heard a strange yet familiar voice.

"Did someone just say my name?"
