Disclaimer: don't own noffin Harry Potter related... all I own is my amazing plot... heh... xD

The next morning Lily simply lied in bed snuggling her pillow. She had grabbed her wand and fixed her ankle so that now only the bruises hurt. Every once in a while, her eyes would jolt open as she would feel watched, then she would nervously look around and to her window to see that no one was there.
You're getting jumpy, she told herself.

Meanwhile, James, Sirius and Remus sat downstairs in the kitchen. Remus looked weary as he always did when the full moon came around. Sirius stretched and leaned back in his chair.
"Do you think Lils is up to casting those charms? We need them tonight," he pointed out.
"I know Sirius... I know," Remus rubbed his temples.
"I'll go see if she's awake," James suggested, lifting himself out of his chair and heading up to Lily's room.

He walked in to find Lily sitting up in bed, looking slightly frightened. She jumped when she saw him and he could tell she seemed kind of pale. He gave her a questioning look and walked over and sat beside her.
"Merlins beard James... can't you knock?" Lily asked wearily.
"Sorry... I didn't realize I would frighten you..." James tilted his head to the side, "Lily... you don't look well... what's wrong?"
She looked at him for a moment and sighed, "James?"
"Yes Lily?"
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For not telling you earlier..."
"Telling me what?"
"I..."
"OH GOD! You're with Sirius, arn't you! I knew it! Damn him and his charm!"
"JAMES!"
"Sorry Lils... I'll be serious."
"But you just sounded mad at him..."
"No! Not SIRIUS... SERIOUS! You know, s-e-r-i-o-u-s?"
"Oh right..."
"So what's wrong?"

James walked back into the kitchen looking thoughtful and slightly worried.
"Will she do the charms?" Sirius asked as Remus looked up from where he had laid his head on the table.
"Yeah... she will..." James nodded.
"Then what's the matter mate? You look like someone just dropped a dungbomb in your trunk," Sirius asked.
"Well... Lily told me something odd..." James said, sitting at the table and ignoring his friend's joke completely, "She said... when she tripped, it was because someone had grabbed her ankle."
"But James," Remus pointed out, "We're alone out here... she couldn't hav--"
"A Death Eater, Remus..." James cut him off, "She said it was a Death Eater."
Silence engulfed the kitchen, leaving the three friends to look at eahother.
"A... Death Eater? Is she sure?" Sirius asked.
"She's really spooked, and you know Lils, she isn't spooked by much. I can see she isn't lying," James assured him.
"Well... we'll have to find out when she comes down later," Remus yawned, "I'm gunna take a nap before the moon comes out. See you later."
"We'll wake you up if you arn't up before then, okay Moony?" Sirius smiled.
"Of course Padfoot... later."
James looked at Sirius as Remus walked out.
"What's this vacation gunna end up like?" he mused, "It doesn't seem like it's going to be as peaceful as I had hoped..."
"Thats for sure mate, but don't worry, you've got me to cuddle if Lily goes loony."
"Sod off Padfoot."
"Love you Prongs."
"Pfft."
"Did you just 'pfft' me?!"
"No."
"Oh... alright then."
