Directions to Llama-land:
Left at the rainbow, Right at the unicorn. And if you've passed the penguin, you've gone too far.

OMG! Look, I know this is late and short, but I have an alibi! I also have many witnesses! No, I did not murder somebody, but Fishy is going to die soon... See below for what I've been doing since I last said I'd update!

Please do not read this if you're reading 'Trials of Love' unless you wish to know how things play out in that story.

Harry waited for the amount of people running down the stairs, but it didn't come. But he did hear the portrait door swing open.

"Everyone, hide!' he hissed. The Marauders and Lily all hid under the invisibility cloaks while Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron all sat down. Andromeda sat down in the chair across from them with Teddy in her arms.

Harry turned around masking his face with that of confusion only to see Molly Weasley.

"Mrs. Weasley, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"I just wanted to make sure you kids were alright, but I see Andromeda has that covered." Molly smiled over to Andy and she smiled back. She was just about to leave when she saw the yearbook thing on the table.

"What's this?" She asked picking it up and turning to the first page. "Ah, it's Sirius's. You know I told George that he and Remus had been part of that little gang the twins worshiped. He was of course heartbroken, that the last of them died," she choked on the word, "just two nights ago."

"What I'm surprised about is that Sirius was married." Harry put in, hoping to get an answer as to when it had happened.

"Ah, yes, Hailey White. She was in the Order during the first war with Sirius and your parents. Poor thing, and just three weeks until she was due to have their first child." Harry's face paled.

So that's why he never told me about her, he thought to himself.

"Well I better go, there's still planning to do for the funerals." She choked back the tears wanting to escape. The tears that wished to fall for her son who had lost his life to a man who had attacked her family one too many times.

"Now, all of you get some sleep, because frankly you three still look sleep deprived." She said pointing at the trio. With that she left.

"She's right, mate, you do need sleep." Ron said laughing as the time travelers revealed themselves.

"You know what, she is right," Lily began, "you guys do look sleep deprived." She said sitting in front of Harry. She gasped and leaned in closer and he leaned back away from her.

"What?" He asked; her face was a mix of shock, surprise, and something that would say she could be sick very soon.

"I think she's notice your eyes, Harry." Ginny told him. He laughed shakily as Lily pulled away shaking her head and saying 'no' repeatedly.

Sirius on the other hand was very pale. What was that Mrs. Weasley had said? Was it true? Was Hailey...dead? Had she died in the battle? No, she had said that she had died three months before something, but what had it been? Damn his short attention span.

"H-Harry, is what Mrs. Weasley said true? About Hailey, I mean." Sirius asked his voice slightly shaking.

"I never met her, so I don't know."

"If I am at all your mother- which I know I'm not-" Lily said saving herself," you would have met Hailey a bunch." Harry looked down at his feet.

"See! See what I mean!?" Lily half-shouted, trying to keep her voice down. "Its reactions like that that gives me the impression that me, or Sirius, or James are dead!" Harry looked up and met her eyes. His eyes. His expression told her everything she needed to know.

She sat down and all emotion was swept from her face. Sirius on the other hand had vanished. Ron was looking at an old clipping from the Daily Prophet dated October 25th, 1981. It was a news article. Dedicated to the one and only Hailey Alexandria White Black. It read:

Believed to be the work of muggles or a psychotic death eater ("aren't they all?" Ron asked.) Hailey Black was found murdered in her home Saturday, October 24th. Her husband, Sirius Black, had come home from work to find her on the floor with many stabbings covering her abdomen and chest.

Sirius and Hailey had been expecting a child due in three weeks. Healers say that the first stab had been to the chest piercing one of her lungs. The sudden shock had sent her into premature labor. She was stabbed four more times and it is then that the Healers determined she died. ("No, really?" Ron asked sarcastically. Lily glared at him through blurry eyes.)

"So, Sirius married Hailey, huh?" James asked his voice scratchy. Hell, could you blame him? His best mate was going to lose his wife to such a horrible death.

Remus looked around the room, Sirius was no where to be seen.

"Guys," Remus got everybody's attention, "Where's Sirius?"

Okay so, The Saturday before I said I'd update, I had a parade and football game to go to (I'm in marching band). On Sunday (when I should have updated) I had to clean my room. It was not a pretty sight. Last week we had parent/teacher meeting things and I got a C in math so that killed my updating for that week. And this last weekend I had to go to a wedding. no Internet, no computers, nada. (I also discovered watching Star Trek The Original Series on You Tube, haha). Oh and before all that I was majorly sick.

Hopefully I'll update quicker next time! -nervous laugh-

Happy Thanksgiving!
