Lily's POV

"What do you mean exactly?" Lily sat down next to him, bringing her knees up to her chest.

"Well this summer, Steph went to work at the ministry for some student intern thing. When she came home she was a little of blank stares, not remembering our cat's names. Just little things, I was talking to Jessica over the summer and she asked her foster parents, the potters, to take a look.

Steph was imperioused by Lestrange! By the time they could do anything about it, Lestrange was gone and...." he trailed off running his fingers through his hair nervously."What Steven, and why didn't Jessica tell me this before now." Lily felt a little twang of anger at Jessica."The potters made her promise not too..." Steven trailed off again; he lost whatever color he had left and he look like he was going to be sick.

"What Steven, you know you can tell me." "Ok, well, by then steph was in pretty in deep with you-know who and she knew allot of his plans, and the entire time, He didn't know she was imperioused." "But she's ok now right? If she wasn't you wouldn't have come back. Is she ok? ""Yes, Dumbledore has her and our mother in hiding; she's going to be fine.

But that's not the worst thing. Dumbledore thinks you-know-who has done what he never thought he could. You-know-who has done something that has left even Albus Dumbledore speechless. "What?" Lily said leaning forward in anticipation but still getting a little scared inside. Steven sighed, he was second guessing telling her and she knew it. "Voldemort...he's fallen in love with my sister."

Remus' POV

"He can be a complete git sometimes, but I'm happy for you." He wasn't completely in the conversation. His eyes were transfixed on the blonde girl sitting in the corner of the common room. She was smiling at something the man faced girl-- Julie wasn't it? Was saying.

She played with her hair when she was nervous, bit her lip when she was-- well he didn't know yet. Jessica got up from her chair and plopped down next to Remus, "thanks Hun." She gave him a squeeze then realized what he was looking at, "Dayna, huh?"

You're kidding!" Sirius leaned uncomfortably out of his chair to get a good look. "Well." He said pulling himself onto the floor with Jessica and Remus, "Never thought I'd see the day..." Could you guys quit t before she sees us all --- it was too late , she had looked up and saw them all staring at her. She bit her lip and got up quickly, her friends followed her out of the portrait hole. "Great." He said giving them a dirty look. "I got to go catch her, see ya" He ran off quickly, leaving Jessica and Sirius with huge grins.

Sirius' POV

I'm starved c'mon. He helped Jessica up and they walked down to the great hall. As he thought, Robert forgot to save Jessica a seat in the great hall. "I don't mind..." She said. Not convincing Sirius at all. "Cheer up mate.... I have an idea."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her straight past Robert and made sure he accidentally bumped into his chair. "Sorry mate, in a hurry" Sirius said gingerly. Jessica just smiled and winked but continued to be pulled out of the great hall. They ran all the way to the Gryffindor common room. They collapsed onto the couch with a huge fit of laughter.

I'm still starved. "To the kitchen we may go!" She said grabbing his hand and pulling him back out the way they came. They got lost while trying to find the kitchens at least three times before they finally reached the painting of the bowl of fruit. "Rebellious Tumbelious" She said, and they entered a sea of shining silver applianced and tiny brown ears. An old hairy looking elf came up and bowed to them, "Masters" he clapped his hands and all hell broke loose.

Screaming, running elves were everywhere. Jessica looked worried. Hundreds of elves screamed shoving pizza and pies into their hands. "STOP!" she screamed suddleny, and everything was silent. And still. She slowly made her way through the sea of elves slowly then ducked below the surface, coming up with a bowl of mashed potatoes and a whole chicken. Then left, leaving Sirius stuck amongst the crowd. When he finally made his way back to the common room it was full. Jessica was talking to Sarah Stanley. "Do you ever wait for me?" he said teasingly. She just smiled and pointed at the chicken which she had magicked a blue flame to keep it warm.

I'm so bored it's not fit" she said while he ate away at the chicken." I think I might go to bed." He was worried. "Jessica..." he said 'It's only a guy, it's not the end of the world.' she smiles 'it's not that Sirius...I find myself thinking about my parents tonight...' She walked off. Sirius stopped eating, he never really thought about how Jessica may have felt about her parents disappearing... she always was the strongest person he knew, brushing everything off with a joke. He was going to do everything he could to make sure nothing changed her anymore, Jessica was a good catch if he ever found one. If he lost a friend like her ... things would be different.

Lily's POV

Lily drifted into the room late that night; Jessica was still up listening to her I-pod. "Hey" she said pulling out her earphones. "Whets up?" Lily sat down. "I was with Steven... he, um, told me about his sister." Jessica opened her mouth to explain but lily stopped her. "I know you couldn't, the potters asked you not to. I know after all they did for you, you couldn't betray their trust like that, even for me." I knew you would understand" She said. After Jessica told her about Remus, All lily could say was "Dayna, huh?" They laughed, softly though because it

was three o'clock in the morning, "Lets sleep on it" Jessica said, turning over.

***

Lily had nightmares that night, she was running to Steven, but he was getting farther and farther away because he was chasing his sister. Who was running away from Voldemort. When he finally caught up to her, she was already dead. Lily woke with a start, and by the looks of things, so did Jessica. There was tears running down her cheeks and she was shaking. "Bad dream?" Lily said slipping out of bed to look through their closet.

"Yeah, um, about my parents. It's weird though I haven't had a dream about them since the night I found out them..." She trailed off; lily gave her a sympathetic look. "Allot happened yesterday, probably just delayed affect or something" Jessica threw her pillow at her. "I call shower first!" Lily had allotted to think about; she put her hair in a pony tail and slipped on the first pair of jeans and a hoodie she could find. Throwing her robes on after it. She grabbed her bag and left the room without another word.

James POV

"Where is she? Breakfast is nearly over." Once again, Remus and Sirius gave him an annoyed look. Jessica looked up from her journal long enough to say "she went to class" "you could have told him that before he started asking where she was every five seconds!' Sirius said annoyed. 'I was sort of preoccupied!' She said defensively. 'To preoccupied to listen to your whiny brother?'--'I learned to drown him out! I for one don't want to live with a Moaning Myrtle Prodigy in my back pocket!'

Remus laughed at this. James knew this was going to last for the rest of breakfast so he grabbed his bag and a stack of toast big enough for himself and lily and headed off for transfiguration-- their next class. But half way down the hallway he stopped. His best friend Peter with, with... Snivelous!? They were walking side by side, trying to avoid everything if possible. James felt a twinge of guilt. He could remember a single face to face conversation with his fat friend since before summer holidays. This was his chance... "HEY WORMTAIL! I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU! WANT SOME TOAST?' But only snape turned around. 'Shut up potter we don't want any of your pity food, especially since you probably let that mud blood lily touch it.'

James dropped the toast and reached for his wand. But he was too late he heard a 'Stupefy!' and watched as snape was thrown backwards leaving peter to pick up the pieces. "Thanks mate!" He said turning to see who his helper was, but his smile faded when he saw a sick looking Steven. 'No problem' he said then hurried off in the opposite direction.

James stopped in the doorway of the classroom to watch as lily swayed to the music to her I-pod and doodled on her new notebook. She looked tired but still just a pre-- 'Mr Potter are you going to allow me to be seated in my own classroom or am I going to make you?" When she caught a glance of what he had been staring at, Lily, he could have sworn she smiled. He felt himself redden, but then shook it off and headed for the table to sit down.

Lily felt his presence and shoved the notebook and i-pod in her backpack. "Hey" She said attempting to smile, but failing. They sat in silence for a few moments "Going to hogsmeade this afternoon?" He said, a little uncomfortable with the silence. 'yes' She answered plainly.. ' I need a good quill' This was all they said for the entire morning. Which not only annoyed him to an extend but hurt his feeling really, they used to be quite good friends.

Remus' POV

He couldnt beleive he finished Jane Eyre, he looked up to see if Sirius and Jessica were still fighting. They wernt, but were in a very intense conversation about a girl at the ravenclaw table. Twenty minutes until lunch, I should go to the library.... he grabbed his bag and got up from the table, but felt himself fall sideways and a shooting pain in his nose. "Watch where your going you jerk !" Julie stomped off angrily.

"Sorry about that, Julies just a little pissed, everybodys saying your friend Jessica is finally going to get Janes spot on the quidditch team this year." Jessica got into alot of trouble in the first year causing Mcgonnagal to have to bann her from all extracirriculars until fourth year. This was Jessicas year and everybody knew it. Dayna helped Remus up and looked at her watch anxiously, im sorry , its just theres only twenty minutes until lunch and I have got to get to the library... Remus almost choked on his peice of gum, "Really?" He said . "Yeah..." She said oddly. "Me too!" Dayna almost choked on her own peice of gum, "Lets go then?"

Jessicas POV

"I see Remus and Dayna are getting along" She said with a grin, but she directed her attention back to the ravenclaw girl. "Are you sure they were holding hands?" She was very annoyed that Sirius forgot to mantion before now that he saw Robert holding hands with another girl last night on the way backe to the common room. "Yuup" He said shoving a peice of baccon into his mouth. "Watch this....Wingardium Leviosa." and with a flick of his wand he levitated a pitcher of juice directly above the girls head. "If he cares.... He will follow her out of the hall. If he doent, well, you dont have a problem." "I dont want him to be my problem..." She said. He looked at her with raised eyebrows then let go of the juice. It dropped, soaking her hair and making her make-up run. She screamed and stomped out of the hall, everyone following her--- everyone!? Crud the bell. Sirius just shrugged, "Until next time" He said dramatically grabbing Jessicas hand and running out of the hall.
