Authors note:I can't guarantee how long this fic will be but I hope you find it good. Enjoy!

Lily couldn't sleep. Once she woke up she knew it would be hours before she fell asleep again so she decided to grab her favourite book and just read the rest of the night off in the common room.After settling herself into the comfiest armchair by the fire she began to read in what she thought was a perfect silence. A few minutes later however, she heard a sort of sniffling noise coming from somewhere in the room.. Lily strained her ears but she couldn't hear anymore noises so she just dismissed it as her imagination. Ten minutes later she heard the same noise but slightly louder this time. Getting fed up with being repeatedly distracted, she closed her book, got up and went walking around the common room in search of the source of the noise. She came to the corner by the window and found the source of the noise but it was not what she excpected at all. For one, it was too late in the night for anybody else to be up and for two, James Potter never got caught crying,let alone by a girl and let alone even more by a girl he liked. He looked like he'd been there for ages too. His eyes were red- rimmed underneath his glasses which were all clouded up. James's hair was also way more messier than usual and not in a good way either. She knelt down beside him and whispered in what was supposed to be a comforting voice but came out all scared herself.

"James...? What are you doing here. And are you crying?" Lily waited. She knew not to break the silence and knew she had to wait for him to speak. After what felt like hours later he finally opened his mouth and managed to choke out a few sentences.

"W-w-w-when I got called out of c-c-class earlier o-o-one of the professors said t-t-they had to tell me. M-m-my parents were found d-d-d-d-dead this morning and they think t-t-that Voldemort did it cause there w-w-was no trace of anything on t-t-them and now I'm all alone!"And with that he broke down completely, tears pouring down his cheeks . Lily knew what she had to do. James needed a friend more than anything at the moment.

"I'll go get Sirius. Be right back"She then walked across the common room and up the staircase to the boys dormitories.

In the boys dormitory(they are in 2nd year btw)

All the boys aside from James were sleeping soundly until a loud bellow woke them from their sleep.

"OK MARAUDERS UP YOU GET!!!!!AND I MEAN NOW!!!!!NO MESSING ABOUT THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!" Everybody bolted out of bed with the exception of Sirius himself who had tumbled out of bed in a tangle of sheets and the hangings on his bed. After a minute or two Lily calmed down and addressed Sirius in particular.

"Sirius get up you're coming with me right this instant!" He did not get up but mumbled to the floor which he was still lying on.

"Lil' why you even in here...? I don't want to come I wanna get the rest of my beauty sleep" What he didn't expect was for Lily to release her terrifying rage over him like a tidlewave of terror.

"SIRIUS BLACK GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!THIS IS NOT A GAME NOW GET UP!!!!!!!!!!" He leapt up immediately and shuffled over to Lily who looked absolutely furious but scared at the same time. She then whispered something in his ear and he paled before practically bolting down the staircase, only holding back because Lily had hold of both of his elbows to stop him from going without her. Lily then addressed the other two boys in the room.

"Remus, you make sure Peter doesn't try to escape to the common room to see what's happening. Peter, just stay in here please. None of you two step foot outside this room until I come get you." They nodded together. She turned to Sirus who was practically screaming his head off by the time she was finished with the other two.

"LET ME GO!!!!LET GO OF ME!!!!!!" She finally let him go and he bolted out of the room so fast he almost fell head first down the stairs to the common room. Lily ran after him a few minutes later,giving Remus and Peter a fleeting glance as she stepped through the door.

Back in the common room(Sirius got there first)

James looked up as the sound of footsteps pounding down the stairs reached his ears and he instinctively pulled out his wand even though he was still on the floor as quite an easy target since he was in full view of whoever came in. He sniffed again, expecting the first person to come through the door to instantly see him and probably hex him into oblivion. What he didn't excpected was for Sirius to come flying through the doorway, wack his forehead on the corner of one of the armchairs and leap up immediately,sprinting around the room shouting something James couldn't make out since he had his face buried in his knees. When he saw James he practically yelled in relief before pulling him up into a hug. They didn't normally do this but he appreciated the gesture and returned it with a warm kind of half-joy. It was then that Lily got to the door and smiled when she saw the two boys. She had done what she needed to.
