I am SO sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER. If you actually care about my excuse:

I started a new school, boarding, and everything was really hectic and the work load is twice as much as I am used to and I'm supposed to be reading Wuthering Heights right now but it sucks and I wanted to write for you and its hard making new friends especially when you're weird like me and so I've been focusing on that and its worked and I met a guy and we're going out and everything's peachy keen but really stressful….yeah.

Anywho, no time to thank for reviewers, gots ta get this one up:

DISCLAIMER: nope, not mine

He was walking closer, jets of light were flying past but all she could focus on were his eyes, red and snake-like, they glinted in and out of the surrounding darkness. She turned and ran, but all he did was laugh in a high, cold voice.

"What a coward!" He laughed before raising his wand, the last thing she saw was a bright green light.

"Hallee! Hallee!" Hallee jolted awake, Sirius was shaking her shoulder frantically.

"I'm up." She was drenched in sweat and shivering.

"What the hell was that? You were screaming!" Sirius actually looked scared. Hallee was about to answer but a sudden wave of nausea swept over her and she jumped quickly from the bed.

"Hallee!" But calling her was too late, she was already in the bathroom, where retching noises were echoing off the walls of the tiny space. The sound of the tap running and the brushing of teeth was followed by Hallee walking back into the room.

"Sorry about that, it must have been last night's dinner. You and I both know Lily can't cook to save her life." Hallee sat back on the bed.

"Are you sure you're okay? You're still kind of pale."

"It's probably from that weird dream…I don't know…It was so scary…It had-" She cut herself off. She hadn't told Sirius, or anyone for that matter, about what she and Dumbledore had talked about last year. About her eventually coming face to face with Voldemort. All they would do was worry and tell her everything would be okay. She didn't need that, she needed to focus, and not almost wet the bed at the mere thought.

"-Clowns. They're fucking terrifying." She finished.

"Clowns?" Sirius tried not to laugh as he got up from bed and looked through the dresser for a shirt.

"I'm sorry you're so brave then!"

"Hey!" Sirius turned to look at her, and pointed to his gold and red shirt he had just pulled from a drawer, "Gryffindor."

"Yes yes, you are the bravest of them all." Hallee stretched and walked into the kitchen. "By the way…we're out of milk, want to go on a quest for some?"

"Don't I always?" Sirius smiled as he pulled on his jeans.

"Good, let me get dressed and we can-"

"Uh…why don't I make this trip alone?"

"What do you mean?" Hallee asked, mid-way though pulling on a shirt.

"Well, you just seem tired, and a little sickly. I don't want the wind from the bike to make you worse…"

"Wait!" Hallee's eyes grew wide, "You don't want me to barf on your bike! You think I'm going to barf again! You think I'm barfy!" She pointed an accusatory finger.

"No! No! It's not like that! Actually yes, it is completely like that. I like my bike, I don't want you to get sick on it."

"You love that bike more than you love me." Hallee sniffed.

"Wait, you're just pulling that card because you want to ride on the bike."

"Maybe I am." Hallee grinned and grabbed the helmet, "Let's go! I'll try not to vomit on you."

SCENE BREAK!

"Shit…did we need eggs or did we need milk?" Hallee froze and looked at the rows of refrigerated goods.

"Well…we were trying to make omlets…so eggs right?" Sirius stood next to her, just as perplexed.

"Were we going to make omlets? Or did you just want omlets?"

"Shit! Why does this happen every time?" Sirius collapsed onto his knees, head in his hands.

"Because you're too proud to make a list." Both Hallee and Sirius turned to see James potter looking at them both with a smirk.

"Don't tease James, can't you see, they're in a serious crisis!" Lily was biting her lip to keep from smiling.

"Darn right it's a 'Sirius' crisis."

"Shut up, James." Hallee glared and looked back to the refrigerated section, "I suppose we just have to get both…both eggs AND milk are delicious."

"True, true." Sirius nodded and picked out a carton of brown eggs.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked, scandalized.

"Getting eggs…"

"No, no, no! Never get the brown ones! Get the white ones!"

"Woah now, no need for racism. The brown eggs are just as good, if not better!" Hallee held her hands up in defense.

"Not true, brown eggs look like poop."

"No offense Lily, but when it comes to buying chicken fetuses, you're an egg short of an Easter basket." Hallee grinned and grabbed a carton of milk.

"PLEASE don't call them chicken fetuses. I don't think I'll be able to eat eggs for a week." Lily covered her ears as Hallee chanted "Chicken fetus" over and over.

"How old are we?" Sirius asked, laughing.

"Nineteen as of last month, thanks for asking. Though I would hope you would know my age." Hallee smiled and Sirius rolled his eyes but continued laughing.

"Are you guys done with your shopping?" Hallee asked, looking at James and Lily's full cart.

"Yes, do you want us to wait for you? Feel free to stop by our house, we still need help unpacking all the boxes. Lily feels the need to do it the muggle way."

"It doesn't seem right unless you really work hard at settling into your new home!" She protested.

"We're done shopping, we'd love to go back."

"That's all you're getting? What about food for the rest of the week?"

Hallee smirked, "You plan that far ahead?"

'Never mind. Let's head to check out." Lily sighed and led the way to the cashiers.

THIS IS YOUR BRIEF 5 SECOND INTERMISSION.

"I can tell you right now that the Wimbourne Wasps are nothing. NOTHING. And it's all their beater's fault too." James shouted, as Sirius shook his head, "If they lose that beater they lose The Cup!"

"I hear they're thinking of trading him." Hallee called from the couch. She was a little sleepy, and lounging with her feet on Lily's lap.

"They would never!" Sirius looked at her, scandalized.

"They'd better. Honestly, I could play better than him!"

"I'd like to see you try!" Sirius jumped up, poking James in the chest.

"Good. You will. Lily, get the brooms."

Lily looked up, "What was that?"

"I'm sorry sweetie but could you please go fetch the broomsticks?"

"Whatever." Lily moved Hallee's legs off of her and walked to the closet.

"So who is playing?" Hallee sat up.

"Sirius, me, you, and Lily." James took three brooms from Lily and tossed two of them to Sirus, who gave Hallee one.

"Why do you have four brooms?"

"Well I plan on having children!"

"Wait…" Lily looked at her own broom. "How come I have to play? You all played Quidditch in school!"

"Don't worry about it. You're on MY team." James slung his arm around her.

"My HERO." Lily said, dryly.

SCENE BREAK (Let it be known I started writing this and 'Let The Games Begin' from AVPS came on)

They had all decided that they would have one person on each team be a keeper, and the other a chaser. The first team to a hundred points won. James flew over to his post, and Hallee, reluctantly after losing a game of 'rock, paper, scissors' flew over to her own post.

"James! Just let me be keeper! I won't have to do as much!" Lily trembled on her broom, and Hallee had to try and not fly right under her to catch her if she fell.

"Hey! The keeper is very valuable to the team. Besides, it's all in the defense. If they don't score at all, then we win."

Lily had that distinct look about her that read 'honestly, I hate my life, please, get me out of here'.

"Oh stop being a skrewt! It'll be fun!" Hallee grinned as Lily's look intensified.

"Can we just start playing?" Sirius asked, tossing the quaffle in the air and catching it again.

"Alright…let's get this over with." Lily placed both her hands firmly on the handle and braced herself.

"GO!" Sirius chucked the ball at James from where he was hovering and it went through, "GOAL!"

"Damn it!" James glared and summoned the quaffle, "Here." He tossed the ball back to Sirius who started flying towards James again. This time Lily got in his way and rammed into his shoulder.

"OW!"

"Oh, suck it up." Lily rolled her eyes and started speeding towards Hallee, while James cheered wildly. She shot at the posts, but Hallee lunged and caught the quaffle with her fingertips, "Take that, Evans-wait-god I can't call you Potter with a straight face." Hallee tossed the quaffle to Sirius.

"We're gonna kick your ass! Just wait!" James shouted.

"Where's your points then?" Sirius smirked and started to fly towards James again. He flew under Lily and made another goal.

"I'm just a little rusty." James's face was red.

"Right." Sirius smiled as he caught the quaffle. "so that's twenty for Hallee and me, then?"

"Lily sweetie please try very hard on this one."

Lily just nodded and sped towards Sirius, knocking his elbow up and snatching the quaffle.

"Ow! No playing dirty!"

Lily cackled as she flew towards Hallee and made a goal. "I believe it's ten to twenty." Lily smiled innocently.

"Shut it." Hallee growled and chucked the ball forward. It went through the goal posts.

"YES! THIRTY TO TEN!" Sirius whooped and pumped his fist. He barely noticed Lily zoom past him and take aim for the posts. She shot and Hallee reached for the quaffle but overshot, and it connected with her head.

"Shit…" was all she managed to mutter before her eyes rolled back into her head and she was falling.

It wasn't a far fall, about ten feet, but the awkward crunch when she connected with the ground made Lily scream.

Sirius hurried to her side, "Hallee? Fuck, Hallee, you alright?"

She murmured something and rolled over without opening her eyes.

"She lives!" James cheered and Sirius rolled his eyes and scooped her into his arms, "I guess we should take her to the hospital…I'm not really sure what to do…"

"Yes, avoiding mucking up her condition would be wise." Lily glared at Sirius and spun on the spot, disappearing with a loud POP! That was quickly followed by two others as James and Sirius dissaparated.

SCENE BREAK

"Miss King?" Was the first thing Hallee heard as she woke up. She was lying on an extremely uncomfortable bed, and the lights were so bright she couldn't make anything out.

"That's me." She muttered. Her head felt like it had been pounded in.

"She's alright!" Sirius's voice came somewhere to her left, and she heard Lily sigh in relief and James exhale.

"Yes…she's perfectly fine…just a bit disoriented." The unfamiliar voice continued. Hallee's vision started to clear and she saw Sirius, James, and Lily standing by her bedside, looking at a woman on her right, who was dressed in green robes. Green robes….St. Mungo's! Hallee, having successfully sleuthed her location, began to listen along with the woman, "Now if you will excuse me, I have to talk to Miss King in private." The others nodded, though somewhat confused, and with curious waves to Hallee left the room.

"What's up, doc?" Hallee grinned but the healer rolled her eyes and looked down at a clipboard she held, "no concussion, barely any bruising to speak of, you must be very happy, you're quite lucky."

"well it was only what…ten, eight feet. I couldn't have hurt myself too badly, but yeah, lots of luck."

"Well not only for you, obviously." This time the healer smiled at her knowingly.

"What? Well yes, I'm sure Sirius is relieved that I haven't died."

"You've named him? Oh that's brilliant! It's rare for couples to come up with a name so early!"

"Wait…what? I think you have me and another patient confused."

The healer looked back at her chart, "Hallee Amelia King? Fell off a broomstick while playing quidditch with her friends? Hit in the head with a quaffle? These are your charts. You know when we take our scans it shows all changes to the body, so we can detect any internal bleeding, et cetera. We usually pick up fetuses on things like those."

"Fetuses?"

"Yep." The woman smiled even wider and patted Hallee's stomach tenderly, but once she saw Hallee's face her smile vanished, "I'm beginning to suspect this is a surprise to you."

"That you've been confounded to think I'm pregnant? Yes, yes it is quite the surprise."

"If you don't believe me see for yourself." She reached into a drawer and pulled out a cardboard box, "The muggle ones can actually be more effective than our own…strange, isn't it?"

Hallee just took the box and got out of the bed, "I'll be right back."

"Hallee! Up and walking!" Lily greeted. Sirius went in for a hug but Hallee dodged him and grabbed Lily's hand, "You're coming with me."

"Why? What's wrong?"

Hallee waited until they were inside the women's bathroom, "If you excuse me, I have to go piss on a stick."

I know I suck eggz for not updating, but review anyways? :D
