Chapter 20: Of Answers and More Questions

Allie

She couldn't look at Sirius, she didn't want too. But her entire body was crying out to help him, even though he did get Dezerae pregnant. Inside she wanted to kill Dezerae for this. Allie shook herself out of a state of shock and hesitantly looked at Sirius, who had his face in his hands, quietly sobbing. She wanted to fall over and cry, hoping it wasn't true.

"Allie, I'm sorry, so, so sorry. I just can't believe that this happened to me…" He looked up, his face stark white and streaked with tears. His eyes were red and puffy.

Quickly without her realizing what had happened he quickly wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her to him in a tight embrace. She gripped his shoulder tightly and blinked back tears; slowly she turned her face and rested her forehead against his neck.

"I really wish I could change this from ever happening, I don't want to be with her anymore, if I knew any of this would have happened, I wouldn't have been with her." Lightly she kissed him on the neck and jumped up, her face burning red hot. Quickly she ran down the hall towards the Gryffindor common room. Sirius sat there in shock, his face much like Allie's. He stared after her and sighed.

Lily

Lily didn't know what to do that night, and neither did the other girls; Allie locked herself in the bathroom in their dormitory and wouldn't come out. Lily sat on a nice chair that filled the space where her bed had been before. Rachel sat by the door, her hand on the handle and her head rested on her outstretched arm. Nothing seemed right, not anymore. Everything was just screwed up, and was getting worse by the second.

Lily stood up and left the room later that night, her head filled with burning questions. So many things were happening that she had no idea what to do. Late that night she sat in her room by the window, resting her head on her arm, staring out at the window, her fingers massaging her neck in small circles. Suddenly she sat up straight, something was wrong…very wrong, there were two people outside walking toward the dark forest, but she couldn't figure out who they were. She tried to make out who they were, and quietly opened the window and peered out, over half of her body hanging out the window. Suddenly two large arms wrapped around her waist, she yelped and almost threw herself out of the window, but were gracefully pulled back in by the arms.

She didn't know what to do; she didn't want to be in the room. Every instinct told her to leave the room, to go see who was leaving the school, but the strong arms were keeping her from returning to the window and jumping out. Lily began to pound with her fists at the hard wall of the chest of her assailant; quickly the hands grasped her fists and held them to her side.

Lily looked up to see James staring at her in disbelief. His face slightly pale with worry.

"What the hell were you doing out there! You almost fell out Lily! God you had me scared." He sighed in relief.

"James, something's going on, I saw someone outside, they were leaving the castle to go to the forest. We have to go see who they are!" She turned back to the window, James wrapped his fingers around her wrist in a vise-like grip so she wouldn't fall. Her eyes scanned the area and found nothing but darkness. He looked out there too in hopes of finding something, no luck.

"Lils there's nothing there. Maybe it was your imagination. But besides the point, are you ready to scout the halls?" He asked, and pulled her back in the window, and shut it tight.

She looked at him and sighed, and the two walked out of her room quietly. As Lily and James strolled through the halls quietly, Lily just wanted so bad to run back to her room and stare out the window again and catch the two people leaving school. James walked behind her, making sure she wouldn't run back and so that if she ran forward he could catch her easily. He kept staring at the back of her head, not even realizing that he was doing it, until she kept turning around in a swish of flashing red hair, he blinked out of his trance. Suddenly she stopped and he continued to walk, again in a trance like state; he ran into her and fell over, taking her with him.

"Damn it James! Watch where the fuck you're going!" She pushed herself up off the floor and adjusted her hair and clothes.

"Sorry, I was spacing out a bit!" He retorted and pushed her forward to keep roaming the halls. "Hey, hold on a minute…" he looked at the floor by wall.

"What is it?" She looked at him and walked over to him.

He got up and walked over to the wall, being followed by Lily, they glanced around making sure that there was no one there. He picked up something small and hard to see. He sat down on the ground, his back against the wall. Lily did the same. They leaned in close, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets to see what the trouble was.

"It's a necklace. It's very pretty." Lily said, her fingers fondling the golden chain.

"This is Dezerae's necklace, Lily." She looked at him and squinted her eyes in confusion.

"Are you sure?" He nodded at her with certainty.

"Lily, I'm not stupid. I was with Sirius when he bought this for her. He had such trouble picking it out for her." James said with a bit of confusion. "I don't understand why she'd leave it out here."

"Maybe she's one of the people who went into the forest!" Lily said excitedly.

"Yeah, and maybe she'll blow up the earth, maybe she's even a follower of Voldermort." James rolled his eyes. "I know her, she's too afraid to go into that forest, she has more common sense."

"Heh," she crossed her arms, "I don't count getting pregnant by the school whore common sense." James glared at her viciously.

"Whatever, let's just go." She stood up and dusted herself off; James did the same and pocketed the necklace.

The two searched the halls late at night. It soon began to get later than they had expected because all the lights were going out one-by-one. They quietly began to walk back the direction they came from; things were dead silent except for the sound of their own footsteps. James was suddenly beginning to realize how creepy the castle really was, everything was dead silent and pitch black. Lily was starting to get a bit scared herself, James noticed from her getting closer and closer to him. Her teeth were chattering every now and again and he glanced over to her, his glasses would glint in the moonlight that they had.

Lily was on the prowl, things were not in place and she could feel it, besides the feel of the night air on her bare arms. She had goose bumps and was shivering like mad. James glanced over at her and smiled a bit, he wrapped his arm around her and ran it over her arm to get her warm again. Absentmindedly Lily pushed herself closer to his shoulder for more warmth. She couldn't help but feel much better while being close to him. Lily began to wander in a dream like state, thinking to herself about getting closer, and that the clothes were just in the way. She shook her head in preventing another fantasy attack from happening.

"Lily you're freezing, do you want my jacket?" James looked over at her worriedly.

"No I'm—" Lily was cut off in mid sentence at the sound of a suit of armor falling over in the hall they had just come from.

Quickly they turned and ran in the direction of the noise, the pulled out their wands and lit them as they entered the hall. Lily suddenly didn't feel cold anymore. Her heart was beating so hard she felt as if it were echoing through out the entire castle. James and Lily looked around and could find nothing; James turned slightly and saw the suit of armor that had fallen over, with a snap of his wand it was right in place again.

"Damn, I wish I brought the map!" James said, flustered at his own forgetfulness.

"Oh well, we don't have time for that, we have to catch whoever that was." Lily said pulling on his arm while running in the direction the suit of armor was pointing.

They followed the long hallway and stopped. They couldn't keep following this lost trail anymore. Out of breath and tired from being out so late, Lily slumped down by the wall. She pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. James sat down beside Lily and leaned his head against the cool surface of the wall; he closed his eyes and sighed. Lily checked her watch and noticed it was almost two in the morning. Slowly she stood up with a groan and held out a hand for James to take so he would stand.

"Come on, we'll never catch them. And besides, it's two in the morning." She said, the exhaust very present in her voice.

James took her hand and tried to pull himself up and ended up pulling her down on top of him. She fell into his chest; he caught her so she wouldn't hit her head on the wall. Lily fell into his arms and on top of him, without even realizing that their lips had met for a brief moment and left a shock. They stared at each other and smiled. Slowly they stood up and began to walk the way they had come from. Something shattered in the distance catching both of their attentions. They ran quickly down the hall, James slightly leaving her behind from his speed.

They had reached the hall full of trophies and found the case that had broken; it was repaired but very sloppy showing that someone was not paying attention to what they were doing. James took Lily's hand and the two of them began running, they stopped at a part in the hallway where it split in two. Lily decided to run up the winding stairs that seemed to go on forever, while James decided to go down the long hall, he was taking his time. Lily had no time to waste so quickly she was running up the stairs, getting tired fast; she knew she should have made James run up the stairs instead.

Lily's palms were sweaty and she was very tired and running out of breath. She couldn't stop, she didn't want to; though she was a bit freaked out she was still having fun chasing down someone. Lily slowed down, too tired to keep going at the rate she was. She leaned against the railing and peered down, her feet lifting off the ground a bit. She noticed James was quickly running up the stairs a look of horror on his face, he began to point to her. Confused she didn't know what to say.

"Lily! Move!" He screamed.

Lily's eyes widened in surprise as two pairs of hands wrapped around her legs and pushed her over the side of the railing, she screamed and tried to hold on, losing grip because of her sweaty palms. Whoever it was had run off at the sight of James running up the stairs.

"James, help! I can't hold on!" Lily screamed, her feet dangling in the air.

She had only one hand keeping her from slipping, her other hand held onto her wand, she quickly dropped it and grabbed hold of the rail. Still slipping from sweaty palms. James was almost there, but that was the problem, he wasn't there yet! Lily closed her eyes tightly; she couldn't hold on any longer, it was too hard. She let go and began to fall, fast.
