Lily looked up, somewhat startled at the intrusion. James and Sirius stood in her doorway, looking more than a little apprehensious. She looked at them blankly.

"Um….sure. ok…now?" Lily asked. Sirius rolled his eyes.

"No, tomorrow." Lily rolled her eyes in response.

"Hey you're the one who wanted to talk, don't be all givin' me shit and stuff." She stared at him, her eyes narrowing dangerously. She sighed, and backed down. "Sorry guys, I've had a rough night."

"Hey, its ok Lils. We're -"

"Look, I said we could talk. I don't want you pathetic attempts at sympathy. OK?" Lily snapped. Talk about mood swings. James looked a little startled, most girls melted when he did that.

"Sorry Lils. It's just-"

"And don't call me Lils, you know I hate that my name is Lily damnit." James made a move as if to answer back, his temper getting the best of him, but Sirius pulled out his wand and muttered silencing charms.

"Look guys, if we're going to get anywhere, both of you are going to have to cut it. OK? I'm frikin' sick of hearing you guys argue. Please be civil? James nodded immediately, and after hesitation Lily joined in. "Fine, Lily, we just want you to answer our questions, we're worried about you, whether you want us to be or not."

Lily heaved a sigh which no one could hear, and nodded. Sirius took off the charms.

"Ok, see, You guys don't know me. You don't need to know me. I'm not who you think I am. I have my reasons why I die my hair, change my eye color, and I lie about my grades. My parents are dead, and my only sister hates me." Lily hesitated as her mind filled with memories of them, and began to cry. "I have only one true friend, and he's not even human. I hate my life, but, but this is the best it's going to get." At this she totally broke down and started sobbing into her sheets.

James looked at Sirius, and they simultaneously sat on either side of her and hugged her, seeing the real life of the seemingly perfect girl. After a good five minutes Lily composed herself and sat up.

"Come on Lily, it can't be that bad, you have us as friends right?" James suggested slyly, trying to convert Evans back to her semi-normal self. She took the bait and rolled her eyes (*They do a lot of that don't they?).

"Potter, you can't be serious."

"Yep, you're right. He's serious!" He pointed to Sirius who grinned at the hideously old joke they told at every available moment. Lily punched him lightly in the arm, but cracked a weak smile.

"Ok, you know my deal, now I have a few questions of my own. James, how did you find me?"

"Well, m'dear," he faltered slightly, "… I was…see, well, I was…well, I was walking in the forest and I heard a bunch of snarling, so I investigated just in time to come and rescue you!" His explanation was patchy, and Lily noted his eyes darting around the room. He was lying. If her hunch was right-

"Ok, then, where did you guys come up with your little nicknames?" James visibly blanched at this one, and shot Sirius a quick warning look that didn't escape Lily.

"We just thought they were cool." Sirius quickly pointed out. A little too quickly.

"Remus is a werewolf isn't he?" Lily suggested quietly. Both Sirius and James jumped up and started stammering.

"How the hell-"

"And he was the wolf that attacked me. And you guys are animagus, if I'm not mistaken?" Lily said in a rush. Both boys stopped and looked at her.

"Please, you can't tell anyone. He's not dangerous; he just can't help his instincts. He didn't know it was you." Lily studied them both for a moment, and nodded. She understood.

"Fine, you don't tell about me, I don't breathe a word about you. Deal?" They 3 shook on it. Happy that everything was out in the open, Sirius started bouncing on Lily's bed. Across the hall Remus heard the noise and walked in.

"Hey moony, old buddy, tiger-Lily here knows about your little monthly secret, and she won't tell 'cause she's a gorgeous red-head with green eyes!"

"Sirius, YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL ANYONE, WE JUST SHOOK ON IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Lily noted furiously, and hit him in the head with a pillow. Soon a full-blown pillow fight broke out, and as feathers floated from the ceiling, the four companions fell to the floor, laughing and gasping for breath.

"Truth or Dare Lily." James grinned evilly.

"Dare, and NO streaking or nudity!" Lily proclaimed. Sirius and Remus started whispering to each other.

"Fine then, I dare you..," Sirius and Remus leaned in and whispered their idea into his ear." Ok, Lily Evans, I dare you to go to school tomorrow with your ever-so-lovely green eyes, and red hair."
