A/N: HELLO? ARE THERE PEOPLE READING THIS? CUZ IT SURE DON'T SEEM LIKE IT! I got NO reviews last chapter. Zip. Zilch. I was so sad. D: PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! While this story will be continued becuz I love it, reviews mean a lot to me! Thank you. Sorry this took so long! School, no motivation, STUPID ESSAYS. They are the evil of the world.

There will always be questions that you can't answer. People will often do things nobody expected and nobody can figure out. But if Remus knew one thing, it was that everything happened for a reason. He was made a werewolf for a reason. Sari had been taken for a reason. And James had kept Lily's necklace a secret from everybody for a reason. If Remus knew another thing, too, it was that James and Sirius had never, ever, in the history of forever, kept a secret from one another. They also read each other like the girls do- meaning, in about five and a half seconds without so much as a glance. So, why had James kept the necklace a secret from Sirius and why couldn't Sirius been able to tell? Remus sighed. Sometimes life made no sense. His thoughts wandered to Sari. He missed her so much. She was a light that kept his darkness at bay, and with her gone, all his depressing thoughts came slinking back. What if she never came back? What if she never knew he loved her? What if she was tortured so badly she couldn't remember him or anybody else? Thousands of scenarios flashed before his eyes and an overwhelming sense of horror crossed him. But he couldn't worry about her forever, thanks to his constantly butting into business friends (though at that moment he was rather glad about it).

"Oi, Remus, what's got you so gloomy?" Sirius said, poking his friend in the shoulder. "Remus is a gloomy werewolf, gloomy werewolf, gloomy werewolf. Wonder what got him down. It COULDN'T be because his truey lovey has been kidnapped and locked up by Tommy Boy!"

"Aw, shut it, Padfoot. Imagine if they took Tara." James said, rolling his eyes and sitting in the chair next to Remus.

"The world would be a better place."

"I'm sure that would be your real reaction." James snorted.

"At least they didn't take Lily. You would've gone absolutely insane… and probably gone after her, getting killed in the process."

"I agree… but replace killed with saving her and having her screech at you about how you could've gotten killed."

"I can't believe you'd say that, Remus! I never knew you had it in you!" Sirius grinned and clapped a glowering James on the back. "Now, I must really go. Homework and such. To the library!" He skipped off, leaving two gaping guys behind him.

"Tara, it's really rather brilliant." Lily acknowledged. Kay, Tara and Lily were sprawled on Lily and Kay's beds, pushed together, and James and Remus were leaning in the doorway.

"No. It's stupid and proves nothing to nobody."

"You just think you're going to get hurt, Tara." James said. "I know him better than anyone."

"No! I don't even care!"

"Tara…"

"What? Stop with the stupid sympathetic Tara…! It's stupid! And I'm hungry, and when I get back NOBODY will mention this!" Tara stormed out, leaving behind two frightened guys and two knowledgeable girls.

"PMSing, don't worry bout it!" The other two headed out after her.

"Wait… Lily! What's that! Hello?" James yelled, now even more frustrated than before.

"James… You're such an idiot."

"Why thank you… Hey!" But Remus was leaving as well. "Guys!" he whined, before trailing after them in an excellent imitation of Peter.

"James!"

"Sirius!"

"James!"

"Sirius!"

"James!"

"Si—"

"Anyway, I didn't really go to the library."

"That's a shocker."

"Aw, shuddup. What I really did was find Lucia. She told me about this uber-awesome Muggle invention."

"Which is…?"

"Facebook!"

"…meaning?"

"It's a social networking site."

"Big words! Big words! Sirius saying big words!"

"Shuddup! Anyway. It's fun! We're all gonna get them."

"Hm, lemme think… no!"

"What if I make you a bet."

"Okay…"

"I bet you that Lily will fall for you by the end of the year."

"No way. You're on."

"Okay. Rules! You just act normally, like the bet doesn't exist. If I am right, and Lily falls in love with you, two things happen; we all get facebooks, and the theme for your wedding will be Pinky Pinkiness, with me as the best man."

"I agree, except our wedding theme will NOT be Pinky Pinkiness."

"Fine! Be that way."

"You have to act normal too!"

"But I get to be your first child's godfather!"

"Deal!" James exclaimed, and they shook on it. "You'll see. She'll never like me like that, not after everything. We were just supposed to be friends, I guess." He concluded sadly.

"Don't give up! Padfoot is always right!"

This time the owl was a deep, jet black. 'He never gives up, does he?' thought Mary, rolling her eyes.

Mary-

Your little friend made a rather excellent speech yesterday. It turned a few of my successful friends' heads, but it also cut her time left in half. You know what I want. Get it to me, and you will be rewarded and your friend will make it out of here alive.

Mary glared at the piece of paper for a few moments. He had no idea what he had wrought. He had no idea that this one letter, these few useless words that were meant to frighten, had just dramatically changed the course of history. There is a reason why Mary was hidden from the world in the beginning. A new power had been unleashed and was pushing to change the world.

A/N: Heehee. I like that ending. Okay, the middle will be explained, and obviously so will the ending. Those last few sentences COMPLETELY changed how I thought this story would end. Seriously though, REVIEW. Like it? Simply write 'good'! Don't like it? Write 'didn't like it'! It's not hard, and I really would like just one review. And don't think Oh, somebody else will give the review, because as far as I can see, nobody will! I got reviews from earlier chapters, why not these? I know you probably read this everyday, and if you also write, you should know how I feel about reviews! I admit, I don't review everything I read. But I try to review as much as I can! Please?
