"Well, it seems your nose has healed," Madam Pomfrey said, leaning Lily's head forward. It was late on a Sunday night, and Lily was eager to get back to her room. "I think you can go back to Gryffindor Tower," Madam Pomfrey nodded. "Thank you," Lily smiled. She got up and started walking towards the door. "Oh, and dear," Madam Pomfrey shouted after her, "if your head starts to hurt again, come straight back." Lily nodded and continued walking. It was late at night, and she expected everybody to be in bed. But, halfway back, she came across the Marauders scrambling up the stairs from the dungeon Lily knew the Hufflepuff dormitories were. "Oh, hello, Evans," James said slowly. He hid behind Remus. "No wonder no-one wants to go out with you," Lily snorted. "Hey, Lily-kins!" Sirius yelled. "How do you feel about going to the first Hogsmeade trip of the year with me?" "No." "But-" "No." "Fine," Sirius snapped. Lily walked back to the Gryffindor Common room and into her old dormitories. She hadn't slept in the Head's quarters for a while due to the obvious reason. Everyone was asleep, so Lily quickly changed into her night clothes, curled up into a ball under her duvet, and went to sleep.
(Two days later[Monday at sometime around 3am]) Dark figures coming towards her, wands raised. She tried to edge back, but she found herself against a wall. A menacing figure came towards her, it's wand raised. Her family appeared before her. Her parents... Her sister, Petunia... The menacing figure, Voldemort, pointed it's wand straight at Lily's head, green exploding out the end- Lily awoke with a start, panting deeply. Sweat drenched her forehead. It was dark outside, and everyone was still asleep. She laid back down. It was a dream, she told herself firmly, nothing happened. Suddenly, she heard a noise from the Common room below. Eyes wide, she grabbed her wand off her bedside table and held it in her hand. Being as quiet as she could, she got up from her bed, left the dormitory and made her way down the stairs. There was a dull light from the Common room, and Lily paused at the bottom step. Taking a deep breath, she stepped down and pointed her wand at the people. Three boys looked at her. Three boys who looked even more incredibly scruffy than normal. Three boys whom Lily wanted the punch. "What are you doing here?" she snapped quietly. Sirius looked at James, and flashed the famous Marauder grin. "Lily-kins, darling, you're just dreaming. C'mon, let's get you up to bed," he said, grabbing her arms and trying to lead her back towards the staircase. "Ugerela!" she said, and flash of maroon shot out of her wand and hit Sirius in the face. His face began to twist and distort, then grow warts and turn an unusual shade of green. His hair began to recede, and what stood on the spot where Sirius once stood looked nothing like him. His hands found their way to his face, and let out a shriek. "I must say, Black, that was a rather girly shriek," Lily sniggered. "Change me back!" Sirius commanded. "You know, I've come across rather drowsy. I think I might just go to bed," Lily grinned. "James, please man," Sirius pleaded. "You know, I think I prefer the new Sirius," James smirked. Sirius looked to Peter, who was stood there looking completely useless, then back to Lily. "I'm going to kill you for this," he hissed. "I'm trying to think of a nice compliment, but somehow, nothing comes to mind," Lily shrugged. "I hate you," he snarled. "The feeling's mutual, pretty boy," Lily smiled sourly. "Now, if it doesn't bother you too much, I'm going to bed. And if you want your usual- er- look back, I would find Remus." The red-head walked back up the stairs, leaving an angry Sirius and a hysterical James and Peter in her wake. "Sirius, no offence," James said, holding up his hands. "But you're so ugly, you could make blind kids cry." James leapt behind the sofa, dodging a curse from Sirius. "I'm going to go and find Moony," Sirius moaned. "He's in the hospital wing. He won't be able to use a wand," James smirked. Sirius hesitated. "Go find a new friend." "Go find a new face." Sirius fired yet another curse at James, leaving James rolling around in fits of laughter on the floor, and Sirius dragging his feet up the stairs, crying.
