Author's Note - Another update for you guys. :D

Disclaimer - I do not own Harry Potter or anything related, I only created the OCs and the plot.

July 8th, 1977 and July 9th, 1977

She kissed the German Shepherd's nose and it was returned by Daisy slobbering all over her face, Lily still grinning.

"You sure you wanna do this?" James asked.

"Definitely," Lily replied confidently.

Daisy had been at the house for three days now and Lily was seemingly much better.

She had decided that she was done with sleeping on the couch and was moving into a guest room, alone, with no one to make sure she fell back asleep as soon as possible after a nightmare.

She opened the door and, dragging her suitcase that Mr. Potter had gotten from her house behind her, stepped into her new room.

The furniture, a bed, bedside table, and comfy looking fluffy chair, was all cream colored. There was a door that led to a pretty big closet that had yet to be filled.

"You can change the colors if you want," James suggested.

Lily took out her wand and muttered a few spells under her breath.

The blanket on the bed immediately turn a pale pink with a light flower pattern and the pillows changed to match, the walls changed pale blue, the chair turned pale yellow, and the bedside table turned pale purple.

"Perfect," Lily said.

She waved her wand and her stuff began to put itself away.

"Done!" she said, then paused. "Oh, wait a second."

She conjured a pale orange dog bed and banished it to one of the corners.

"Daisy!" she called. The German Shepherd bounded into the room excitedly.

"Go lay down," Lily ordered, pointing towards the dog bed, after scratching behind Daisy's ears. Daisy obeyed with a small, happy bark before settling down in the dog bed and closing her eyes.

"Well, she seems to like it, how about you?" James asked.

"Oh, it's perfect!" she said with one of her, now more common, smiles. "Thanks so much for being so nice to me." Lily said, looking up at James.

"Seriously, it's no problem. You deserve it." he replied.

Lily turned away, trying to hide her blush. "Thanks, anyway."

"DID SOMEONE JUST SAY SIRIUSLY?!" they heard from downstairs. There were loud footsteps pounding on the steps until Sirius appeared beside them. "For I am Siriusly Sirius! Off to save the world with my Siriusness! DADAD-OOOH! Pretty colors!" he said, staring at Lily's new room.

"Umm . . . Okay, then." Lily said.

Her parents, dead on the floor. Voldemort's high, cold laugh. Everyone she had ever loved, dead at his feet. His wand pointed toward her. Avada Kedavra! The green rushing towards her. Wondering what it was like to be dead. Her parents, blank eyes staring at her.

Lily's terrified scream pierced the quiet calm of the night.

The next morning, while trying to find his glasses, James was very confused.

"Er, Lily? Whatcha doin' in my bed?" he mumbled sleepily.

"Er, well, you know . . ." James gave her a look that clearly said "get to the point."

"Nightmare," she whispered, embarrassed.

"Lily, that is nothing to be embarrassed about, but I suggest you leave soon. It's almost time for Sirius' Tuesday morning dance."

Lily moved so she was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Wha--?"

"Uh oh," James interrupted. "It's too late."

Sirius walked into the room wearing a frilly pink bathrobe and started dancing around the room while chanting, "It's Tuesday! It's Tuesday! It's Tuesday!"

"What the hell?"

James shrugged, "He really likes Tuesdays."

Later, Lily was sitting under a tree in the yard absentmindedly petting Daisy's back, while the boys played Quidditch, staring at the giant squid, who was still residing in the Potters' yard. They had even added a temporary pond for him to swim in.

"So, I'm still wondering why there is a squid in the yard. He keeps staring at me, it's creepy." Lily yelled up to the boys.

"What, do you not like Squidy's attention?" Sirius yelled back.

"Like I said, it's creepy. And, seri--, no, umm, I meant really, Squidy?!"

"It's Sirius, what do you expect him to call a squid? In case you haven't noticed, he's not the most original person on earth. He's a bit of an idiot" Remus replied.

"Hey! I think I should be feeling insulted right now!" Sirius yelled before crashing into a tree.

"Like I said, he's an idiot."

"Squidy" proceeded to squirt "the idiot" with his ink.

"That's it! See ya' Squidy!" Sirius yelled, pointing his wand at the squid and muttering a spell to send him back to Hogwarts. "Ha! He's gone now!"

"Yay! No more creepy staring squid!" Lily replied happily.

Author's Note - Well, that's it. I know it's shortish, but I wanted to get something out before the weekend ended. I didn't really have that much time to work on it because I was babysitting almost all weekend. Well, I made it happier in this chapter, but there will be a bit more drama coming up soon, either in the next chapter or the chapter after that.I've got a new poll on my profile, please check it out. :D
Oh, and since I can only have one poll on my profile, please answer this question in a review: Are the Head Dorms real? Cuz people have said yes and no and I really just need a straight answer. So, majority rules, please tell me what you think. :D
P.S. I almost forgot, if you have posted an anonymous review on this story, I replied to them on my profile, you just have to scroll a bit.
