Lily looked at her watch and decided they should head in and grab their stuff...they had to be at the train station in 30 minutes.
James helped Lily carry her largest suitcase to the Hogwarts Express Luggage Carrier, and they went into the compartment where Remus and Sirius were.
The whole Fidelius Charm stuff had made them all closer than ever...they were each other's only companions, and Remus and Sirius were like brothers to Lily...she couldn't imagine them ever doing anything to her.
The topic of their discussion that train ride was little Peter Pettigrew.
"That brainless git ALWAYS used to follow us around...the awesome thing about the Charm is that he can't follow us anymore!" Sirius stated loudly.
"Oh I KNOW!!! That dolt doesn't know WHAT he's doing in ANY class." Remus put in.
"Well I think that the blasted boy needs to get a clue." James said.
"Guys, its not HIS fault her turned out so errr...learning challenged." Lily said with a laugh.
They all laughed and changed the subject.
They talked about Quidditch for the rest of the train ride...they had won the Quidditch Cup that year for the 3rd year in a row!!!
When they reached the train station, they all had to walk all the way to james, Sirius', and Remus' street...a 2 hour walk...no one could see or hear them to give them a ride.
"BLAST!!!" Lily cried.
"Whats the matter?" James asked.
"I left Loopy!!!" She moaned.
"No you didn't!" Sirius grinned, "I put her in my suitcase...I thought you might forget her."
"Siri you're a lifesaver!" Lily laughed.
They all laughed and talked the rest of the way to the houses.
Then they all split their separate ways, with Lily and James walking to James' house.
When they got inside James looked around.
"It's weird not to have my mum here, welcoming me home." James remarked.
Lily put her arms around him, "James, I know it hurts, its ok to think about them."
James lifted her chin and kissed her. She grinned and ask, "Now where am I to stay?"
"You could stay in the guest room...make yourself at home...there's a chest of drawers that you can use for your clothes." he told her.
"Uh, James?" Lily asked him.
"Yeah?"
"Do you wear robes or Muggle Clothes?" she asked uncertainly.
"Robes, of course." James smiled.
The rest of the day and the next day, Lily unpacked. Sirius and Remus came over and were watching a Quidditch match with James on TV.
Somehow, I think this is what married life will be like." Lily thought grimly as she picked up dirty dishes from the table in front of the guys.
To her surprise, James got up and began helping her. She glanced at him and he saw her surprise and grinned, "You'll get help when we have a house of our own."
She grinned and pecked him on the cheek as they brought the dishes to the sink and began washing them. She washed, he dried.
Sirius and Remus walked in and watched the couple do the dishes. Sirius whispered so only Remus could hear, "They're gonna be a happy married couple."
And Remus said, "They act like they already ARE married."
They both laughed and Lily and James looked up.
"Are you talking about us?" Lily asked indignantly?
"US? No way." Sirius said, trying to keep a straight face.
Lily laughed and threw a towel at him. He caught it easily and grinned.
Remus and Sirius went home at about 9:00. They were all beat. Lily said goodnight to James at 10:00 and went up to bed. The minute her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.
She woke up with a start when she heard a crashing noise. She heard someone say "BLAST" in a loud whisper. She looked quickly at the clock...it read 3:00 a.m. Lily jumped out of bed, threw on her robe, and crept downstairs.
She peeked around the corner and saw James, a dog that she knew was Sirius, And Remus as a WEREWOLF.
"Oh My Goodness! James how did he get in?!" Lily asked in a strangled voice.
The werewolf saw her and began charging at her. She screamed and tried to run, but her legs wouldn't move.
Everything next seemed to happen in slow motion, James turning into Prongs and leaping at the werewolf, and the crushing pain as the weight of the fighting werewolf and stag hit Lily with a crunch.
Everything went black, and the next thing she knew, she was lying on a couch and James was looking down worriedly at her.
She tried to sit up, but gasped in pain and let herself fall back onto the pillows.
"Lily, what hurts?" James asked, phone in hand, ready to call 911.
"Don't call emergency...its just a couple of broken ribs...they can't do anything for them....just give me some bandages and I will go wrap them." Lily gasped.
He did as she told him to, and she went and wrapped her ribs. At times it hurt so bad, she couldn't breathe, and James convinced her to lie down.
Remus came over that day, gray faced, and worried. he saw her on the couch and rushed over to her.
"Lily I am so sorry! i didn't mean to..." he broke off and looked at the ground.
"Remus," she said gently, taking his hand, "as far as I am concerned, this was no one's fault, it was an accident. My ribs will be fine in a couple of weeks. I have been in worse shape than this, believe me." Lily said with a weak grin.
"But I can't believe I...Lily I am so sorry! If there's anything I can do..." he said.
Lily shook her head and smiled at him.
"I'm not mad...honest!" she told him, her voice gaining strength.
That day, Sirius, Remus, and James kept Lily company while she started healing.
Sirius performed and anti pain charm so she could move around as usual the next day...but she had to be very careful because just because there was no pain...the bones were STILL broken.
Someone banged on their door...James opened it...and it was....Dumbledore. He looked quite worried, and he layed his eyes on Lily.
"Lily I'm so sorry...your parents...Voldemort." he broke off.
"No!" Lily screamed.
Authors Note: I know a lot of people die in my story, but I can guarantee you...this is the last person to die before James and Lily at the end of my series...I planned my story a certain way, and this was how it all worked out. Thanks for reading it...part 8 coming soon!
