'James come on let's go, Snivellus is gonna be back any minute now' said a fearful looking Pettigrew as he watched the door alarmingly

'Hold on Wormtail just trying put this somewhere the Slimeball won't look, maybe near the shampoo' said James ducking under the bed

'Prongs, what exactly are we doing in Snape's dormitory' he said still glancing steadily at the door

'Me and Padfoot thought it would be funny to watch him while he's in here, we've got this theory that he practises kissing on that pillow' said James as he clipped a small black device onto the curtain

'So how are you going to watch him?'

'I bought this at Zonko's at Hogsmeade, some muggle contraption that picks up audio and visual footage' said James now furiously shaking the small device

'Oh, well isn't that kind off invading his privacy?'

'Wormtail, we're talking about Snape here, if he got the chance he'd listen in on us every second, you've seen how he stalks us around the school' said James 'Okay I'm done get under the cloak'

They both shuffled quickly under the coat and led the way out of Snape's dormitory and into the Slytherin common room.

'This place gives me the creeps' whispered Pettigrew as he looked around the dark green room 'How'd you get the password anyway?'

'Remus said it accidentally the other day, he has to know because of the "prefect" thing' said James whispering even quieter as they walked passed a unsightly Slytherin girl

'If he finds out we'll be in big trouble, we might even get detention or worse expelled' said Wormtail getting worked up

'Look he's not gonna find out, even if he does there's no way he'll trace it back to us, okay we've got to wait here until someone opens the entrance'

Once back in the Gryffindor common room James and Peter took a seat next to Sirius who was trying to finish of his potions assignment

'What does Bubotuber pus do?' said Sirius as James took a seat next to him

'Gets rid of acne I think' said James 'You seen Lily around?'

'Yeah she went down to the bathrooms she said she felt ill' said Sirius

James looked at the common room door concerned

'Did she say she was alright?'

Sirius shrugged as Pettigrew almost burst with excitement.

'Guess what Padfoot we did it, we bugged Snape!'

'No-way!' said Sirius now throwing his pen down

'Taking all the credit eh Wormtail' said James still looking a little concerned 'Do you wanna go and tune in on him now?'

'Potions.....detention....'

'Aww come on Black do it later this is gonna be jokes!' said Wormtail pulling Sirius up who gave in quickly

They all went up to the dormitory that they shared together with Remus who was lying on his bed looking drained.

'Alright Moony?' said Sirius as he walked in

'Hmmm....'

'Wanna watch Snape we got a camera and microphone in his room' said Pettigrew smugly

'What do you mean, you do know that's illegal right?'

'Moony this is just fun besides, it's Snivellus' said James

James walked over to his trunk where he shuffled around for a few moments before pulling out a hand held mirror. He took out his wand and muttered an incantation, and a split second later the mirror was glowing a sickly blue colour. He then took the mirror and balanced it on the tables so it acted like a TV screen.

'Is it working?' said Peter as he strained to look around James

'Hold on' said James 'There we go'

They all got a clear picture of Snape sitting on his bed completing his assignments. James and Sirius leant against the wall ready to catch the mirror if it fell.

'Here we go guys!' said James still adjusting the mirror a little from his standing position

They watched as Snape flicked through the pages of a book the walked over to his cupboard, he pulled out a small leather bound book and walked back over to his bed.

'Haha that must be his diary, I bet it's dripping in slime' said Sirius

'Look he's drawing a picture of Lily' said James disgustedly 'The slimeball'

'What an idiot like he could land her, besides ain't you and her together' said Sirius to James

'Well kind of yeah' said James going a little red

'Don't give me that kind off rubbish I know you two have been keeping in touch for a while' said Sirius grinning

James threw a pillow at Sirius as Lupin and Peter howled with laughter, then they heard a knock and automatically turned to the door only to realise it was happening behind the mirror.

'Looks like Snape has a visitor' said James as he watch Snape snap his book shut and call "Come in"

Everyone gasped as the person walked in, she had beautiful long hair and fair skin but at the same time looked pale and fragile.

'Lily.....' said James quietly

'What are you doing here' said Snape getting up quickly from his bed and walking over to her

'That's what we'd like to know' said Sirius

'How did you get in here Lily?' said Snape

'Disillusionment charm'

'Oh, are you okay, you don't look so good' said Snape

'Oh Severus, it's terrible' said lily taking a seat on the bed

Snape sat down next to her and held her hand, as James watched he had the urge to go and beat Snape into a bloody pulp.

'What do you mean; it's not that Potter is it? If he's hurt you I'll get him, you watch!' said Snape now looking furious

Sirius looked at James as he shrugged.

'Severus I've been getting sick a lot' said Lily so quietly that all four of them has to strain their ears to listen

Snape looked at her for a moment then looked down at his feet.

'I keep getting these cravings too, and I also keep getting these headaches' said Lily

James was gazing into the mirror his mouth hanging open, as Sirius held his left shoulder.

'Have you missed your...?'

Lily nodded.

'You can't be......have you tested yourself?'

She nodded again.

'Positive'.

Snape gulped as did James

'It's mine isn't it?' said Snape

'What..?'

'Is it mine right?'

Lily just stared forwards as Snape became more and more agitated

'I don't know...' she whispered quietly

'What do you mean you don't' said Snape angrily

James gripped the bedpost at a crushing strength as Lily struggled for words.

'James' she whimpered

As she said the word Sirius's grip on James tightened as he started sliding down the wall.

'No, no, no' said James repeatedly to himself 'No way'

Snape looked at Lily for what seemed like hours then with all the strength he could manage he spluttered out two words.

'Get out' he said to Lily

Lily looked at him entirely mortified, but Snape didn't change his furious expression

'Wh...What'

'Didn't you hear me' said Snape quietly 'I said get out'

With that James sprung up from the floor where he had slid down to and flew out the door slamming it behind him, he became aware that he was being followed by Sirius but didn't stop to acknowledge the fact.
