A/N:Well, well, well another chappie! Hooray! Just a warning for you guys, it doesn't hold as much action as I intended. I'm not good at action sequences so, I did the bare mimimum to make sure this story isn't totally confusing or disappointing. Anyway...I have a good feeling about the next chapter, which hopefully I will get to writing soon.
Happy Reading! Please Review!!

Night Prowlers
Stunned. Absolutely stunned. Absolutely, positively stunned, was the only way to really explain the state of shock Lily was in.
Her jaw dropped, but nothing came out, she had nothing to say…what could she say?
"Lily? Lily!!!?"
Waking up from her stupor, Lily's eyes met Remus's. "I can't believe it." She blurted, something finally coming out of her open trap.
"Which part?" Remus faked a laugh.
"All of it!!!" Lily said frantically. "I-I mean, I can't believe Sirius would go so far for a stupid prank! And then that Snape would just so willingly go to the willow-"
Remus cut her off, "I wish I could find that part hard to believe. Lily, come on, you've got to notice how he threatens me, and James and Sirius and Peter. How he'll someday follow us so he can find out what we're hiding. If anyone gave him any tip about where I transform, he'd be there in a second."
Ruefully, Lily nodded. "Yeah, I know, but you have to admit, for a straight +O student, that was a pretty rash thing to do."
"You're right there I suppose." Remus nodded, and then checked his watch.
Lily knew what he was thinking, "We should probably get back on watch."
"I agree." Remus said, and bent for the door, but paused. "Oh, and Lily-"
"Yeah."
"As always, don't tell anyone about this." Remus smiled, and winked.
Lily rolled her eyes, "I know, I know…I haven't told anyone your secret before, I honestly don't know why you'd think I'd tell them now of all times."
Chuckling quietly, Remus turned the doorknob, poked his head out the door, and seeing that the coast was clear, he climbed out, followed by Lily.
The rest of the night was fairly uneventful, besides catching two Slytherin third years snogging in a deserted classroom. Thus, Lily and Remus found themselves back at the portrait hole rather quickly. They bid each other goodnight, and climbed up their respectable stairs.
As she undressed, and got ready for bed, Lily's thoughts were all for Remus' story, and as she lay in bed she reviewed it all in her head.

"Sirius I can't believe you!"
"Great huh?"
"Ugh...NO! This is bad! Snape's in danger!"
"Awesome innit? C'mon Prongs why aren't you excited?"
"Sirius- just…ugh!"
"Prongs! Come back! Where are you going?! You can't seriously be going to the Willow!"
"Where else is Snape's head going to get bitten off- gosh Padfoot I can't believe you!"
XXX
"Snape!"
"Back off Potter! Before I hex you into the next life!"
"Snape! You don't know what you're doing! You can't go in there!"
"Watch me! I know exactly what you're up to. You've tried to hide your little secret, well...it's over Potter!
"Snape no!"
"Back off Potter!"
"STUPEFY!"

James woke up abruptly as a red light flew through his mind. Sunlight was leaking through the curtains on the window.
"Mate? You alright?" It was Sirius, he was at James' side.
"Yeah…yeah, thanks Padfoot." James said, and he got out of bed and dressed, as casually as possible.

"Hey, Lils, you coming or not? Potter's going to kick us off the team if we aren't there soon!"
"I'm coming!" Lily tied her hair back into a knot, and threw a nice green shirt on. She took the steps in two's.
Dorcas and Emmeline were already in their quidditch robes.
"Where's Alice?" Lily asked as she trotted over to them, at the far side of the Common Room.
Emmeline smiled, "She's at the library with Frank-"
"Probably snogging him." Dorcas added with a snort.
Lily shook her head and rolled her eyes as she finished tying her shoe. "Well come on then! I didn't rush down here to stop and chat!"
The girls laughed, and headed for the quidditch pitch.

James finished lacing up his shoes, and picked up his broom. He called everyone to the field, and called roll.
"Sirius Black."
"Present!" Sirius called cheekily.
"Travis Hathaway."
"Here!" Called a small voice, from a straw haired, Second year.
"Marlene McKinnon."
"Here." Said a fifth year girl to the younger boys' right.
"Dorcas Meadowes."
No one answered. The team looked around.
"Anyone know where Dorcas is?" James asked.
"Emmeline is missing too!" Said a stout fourth year boy.
"No she's not!" Called a voice across the pitch, and James grinned as three girls ran across the field, two with brooms in hand.
Emmeline and Dorcas stopped breathing hard. "Sorry James." Emmeline apologized.
"Someone took a little too long with their hair." Dorcas pointed out, as Lily fell in line at just that moment.
"Did not!" Lily gasped, and glared at Dorcas.
"Suuuure." Dorcas rolled her eyes.
James stifled a chuckle or two, "Glad you could make it to practice." He said, looking at Lily.
Lily stood up straight finally catching her breath. A couple flyaway hairs swayed in her face, and she pushed them away with a casual smile.
"Pleasure." Lily said.
James nodded, and from the corner of his eye, he caught Sirius raising his eyebrows coyly.
Lily noted the way the team was staring at her, and suddenly had a great yearn to leave. "I guess I'll go find a seat…in the stands then." Lily said, waved to her friends, and started running again, in the opposite direction.
Leaning on her broomstick, Dorcas locked eyes with Sirius, and they exchanged looks. "So, Potter's still got his eye on little Miss Lily Evans." Dorcas taunted.
James shook himself from his reverie and looked at Dorcas with a sarcastic smile, "So, Miss Dorcas Meadowes wants to start her laps early today does she?" And at that Dorcas shut her trap, and quit teasing.
Emmeline concealed her giggles, and James shook his head, and finished calling the roll.
"Dorcas Meadowes…James Potter, Emmeline Vance…and Connor Wright. All here? Then let's start some drills!" James said, and kicked off from the ground, taking a quaffle with him.
A/N: So like I said, maybe not the most eventful chapter, but it did hold some humor- I suppose. Dorcas is meant to be the comical relief of the group, like Sirius is for the Marauders.
