I can still remember that day. It was December 29th when she came back. No one had expected her for almost another week, but they let her stay because of the condition she was in. Her face, arms and back were all bruised badly. James felt the worst for her, since he knew everything.

Sirius's memory~~~~~

"I told mum and dad and they are filing against him."James said, looking down at Lily who was asleep. "Can they do that?"I asked. "They can file. Doesn't mean they'll win."He sighed. "We have to help her Padfoot. We can't let her go back, they'll kill her!"James added. I only nodded. I probably didnt understand the severaty of the situation, but he did. He yawned and looked at his watch. "Lets go back to Gryffindor tower."I said, standing. James nodded and stood and we walked out of the Infirmary.

Story~~~~~~

Lily woke up the next day to find James sitting in the chair next to her bed. She sat up, then winced, remembering her injured back. "Lay down."James said, gently forcing her back down. "Everybody knows now. He's going to hit me even more for this."She said miserably. "No. Sirius and I are working on a plan. Maybe you could come stay with me over the summer. My parents suggested that."He said, taking her hand, and holding it like a peice of thin glass. She sighed. "I don't know. I cant think straight. All I can think about is how he looked when I defended Hogwarts. He called it a freak school and I said it wasnt and thats when he started hitting me."She said. "What exactly did he do?"James asked. "He punched me a couple times in the face, then asked if I would cry, then threw me down and started hitting me on the back with the broom, then I blasted him out a window."She answered.James hugged her and she hugged him back. "I'll find a way. You wont have to go back."He said. She smiled, then rested her head on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead.

Sirius~~~~~~~ James couldnt pull it off. No one could help Lily. Ive never seen James so mad. Story~~~~~~~ Lily stood on the train looking out the window. The train pulled into the station, and Lily saw her dad standing there. She looked away when he glared at her and she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw James. He smiled down at her, then looked out the window. "That's your dad?"He asked. Lily merely nodded. He squeezed her shoulder slightly, and then he was gone.

Lily sighed and walked out to her dad. "I told you, that if you ever told anyone-"He trailed off. "I'm sorry."Lily said, staring at the ground. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the station.

As they walked through the rain to the car, Lily didnt say anything. "Lily wait!"James called. Lily and her father turned and saw James running towards them. He slowed to a stop and Lilys dad grabbed her arm in a painful lock. Lily shook her head violently as James raised a fist. "Come on Lily."Lilys dad snapped, pulling her towards the door. "Wait sir. May I talk to her?"James asked. "No. We have to leave."Her father answered. "This is important."James replied. "Fine. Two minutes." He said, letting go of Lilys arm. James look Lilys hand. "Tell him we are getting married. It's just an act, to help you. You can come stay with me, and we can pretend."He said, rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand. Lily looked over at her father, who was walking towards them. "Ok."She said, then threw her arms around him and crushed her lips to his. He put his arms around her waist and her father ripped them apart. "STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"He yelled. "Dad!"Lily screamed. "SHUT UP!"He yelled back and Lily flinched. "I dont appreciate you saying that to my fiancee."James snapped and Lilys father stared at him. "Excuse me?"He asked. "Thats right."James answered. Lilys dad threw her down. "You.....you FREAKS stay away from me!"He yelled, backing away. James helped Lily stand up.

Sirius~~~~~~~~~ We didnt hear from Lilys dad again, and Lily moved in with James. Thats all I was told at least, but I think that her dad did try to interfere....
