chapter 16.
Lily felt herself immediately silenced.
The next thing she felt was stillness. Extreme stillness, as if someone had paralyzed her whole body. She felt her eyes close.
It was then that she stopped breathing altogether.

James watched in horror as Lily's eyes shut and her chest stopped heaving up and down. His arm was frozen in the position it had last been in: bent at the elbow and pointed towards Lily's forehead.
Finally, the force that had compelled James to do that gave way. He dropped his wand and reached for Lily's wrist, searching for a pulse.
Then the door to the room burst open. And in walked Dumbledore, wand raised and ready for action.
"Mysterilo!" he shouted in a voice James had never heard before. It was full of power and anger and--was that hope? The echo seemed to bounce off the walls and go in and out of the bathrooms. Somehow, James realized that every echo had hit Lily. Somehow.
Lily's eyes fluttered open. She tried to sit up, but Dumbledore forced her back down with a hand on her head.
"James," she whispered, trying to get his attention. He watched her glance towards her bathroom and he realized what was going through her head. Oz.
He backed away from the bed and towards Lily's bathroom. He found the blue blob stretched across the sink. Help me! he heard in his head.
*Oz?* he thought back, shocked that this was how Lily had been communicating with him.
yes. help me; jello did this to me.
As he pried Oz off of the sink, he thought, *who's jello?*
another one of my kind.
*oh.*
he's the one who made you do that.
*what? him? a blob of gel?*
hey! yes, it was him who took control of you and made you do that.
He placed Oz in his hand and walked back towards Lily and Dumbledore. *i think it was dark arts-ish.*
i think so too. i'm not really sure.
