"So, Lily, what'd you do last night?" Sirius asked, as he sat down next to Lily at the breakfast table.

"Tell us…" James asked. Lily shook her head and he pouted.

"You'll find out when Snape comes in." Lily said, as Remus and Peter sat down.

"Here he comes," Remus pointed to the doorway.

"The spell should go off any moment…now!" Lily said, as Snapes robes transformed themselves into a lion outfit. The lion was dressed in scarlet and gold, and was holding scarlet and gold cheerleading things (You know, the fluffy ball things - I can't remember what they're called.). Lily raised her wand, and Snape started doing a cheerleading routine.

"Go Lions! Go lions! Go, go, go lions!" Snape screamed, jumping around. The head of the Slytherin house preformed the counter curse, and transfigured the lion outfit back into normal robes. "Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew, Evans, DETENTION!" The head of the Slytherin house screamed.

"Good one Lil," Sirius said, and the others nodded.

"Thanks guys." Lily smiled, then said in an undertone, "When's the next full moon?"

"Tomorrow." Remus said and Lily patted him on the back.

"It'll be okay." She whispered, and he smiled sadly.

"C'mon, Remus will be waiting." James said irritably to Sirius and Peter. He was annoyed, Lily had been acting weird all day, as if she wanted to tell them something, but couldn't.

"Yeah, we know," Peter said, as he followed James and Sirius into the common room.

"Petie-pie!" Vanessa was waiting in the common room.

"Vanessa," He said weakly.

"Petie, don't go, pwease?" Vanessa fluttered her eyelashes at him.

"Sorry, Vanessa," Sirius glared at her, "We gotta go, and Petie Boy has to come."

"Petieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," Vanessa pouted.

"Sorry," Peter apologized, "I have to. How about you go to breakfast with me? I'll sit with you and your friends."

"Okay!" Vanessa smiled brightly, kissed Peter on the cheek, and went up to her dorm.

"Thank heavens." Sirius sighed. James pulled the invisibility cloak out of his pocket and they slipped it on. They hurried out of the portrait door.

"Take the cloak off." Lily was standing outside.

"Lily?" James asked, as he pulled the cloak off.

"Yes. I know you're going to see Remus, and I'm coming." She said, glaring at him, daring him to argue.

"You can't. He'll kill you, because you're human."

"No he won't." Lily smiled triumphantly, "I won't be human. I'm an animagi."

"Since when?" James asked coldly.

"Since the night before last." Lily answered.

"How?" Sirius's voice was flat with anger.

"I found the rest of the potion." Lily answered.

"You lied to us." James's voice was also flat.

"You lied to me to stop me becoming one." Lily answered coldly. "And you can't stop me from coming either."

"Yes we can." James snapped. "Because you are not coming downstairs with us."

"Fine." Lily shrugged. "Go without me."

"We will." James pulled the cloak back on, and Sirius and Peter slipped under it. Lily waited until she was sure they were a few corridors away, then went back into the common room. She looked around, and then threw open the window. Making sure there was no one there, the transformed, and flew out the window. She landed near the Whomping Willow, and transformed again.

"How did you get here so fast?" Peter choked, when the three boys finally arrived.

"Easy." Lily answered, then transferred her gaze to James. "Can I come yet?"

"No."

"Well, you won't be able to go anywhere if I stay here. You won't be able to let Remus out."

"She's right." Sirius said, then looked at James.

"I know she's right!" James spat, then glared at Lily, "Why the hell did you come?"

"Because I have as much right to do this as you do."

"You had no right to become an animagi!" James near shouted.

"And you had the right to lie to me? To 'protect' me from things that are just as likely to happen to you?" Lily countered. "Face it James. You can't control me, and you're angry about it."

"No. I'm angry because you lied to become an animagi. You lied to me."

"And you didn't lie to me?" Lily sneered. "Sirius, what do you think?"

"We did lie to her James." Sirius said slowly, "and now that she's an animagi, there's really no reason she can't come with us."

"Fine. She can come. But if she gets hurt, don't blame me." James said coldly. Damn it, he thought to himself, Why did you do it Lily? I'll die if anything happens to you.

"I'm glad you finally saw sense." Lily said, equally coldly. Then she shrugged, "Remus'll be waiting."

"Transform." James said. "I want to see you do it."

"Fine." Lily transformed, and smiled inwardly at the looks of shook on their faces. James transformed, then Sirius, and finally Peter. Peter scampered under the brances of the willow, and he touched the knot. The willow froze, and Lily followed James, Sirius and Peter into the tunnel. When they reached the shack they saw Remus sitting, snarling and scratching at his fur.

Remus! Sirius called, Lily tensed, shocked at hearing Sirius's voice.

Who is that Remus asked, snarling at Lily.

It's me. Lily. Lily experimented with her mindvoice.

What? Since when are you an animagus? Remus asked, looking puzzled.

Since last night. Lily answered.

I told you. Remus said to James, I told you she's find a way to become one.

I wish you weren't right. James said, softly, so only Remus could hear.

Why is it so bad,

It would kill me if anything happened to her.

And it was killing her that we lied to her. We weren't protecting her James. If anything, we were making it worse.

I suppose. James said doubtfully.

C'mon! Lets go! Sirius nipped James's leg.

Okay, okay, James smiled, and followed Sirius out of the shack. Peter clambered onto Remus's back. Lily landed on James's shoulder.

I'm sorry James, She whispered.

It's okay.

Well, that's part three done. Please review… pretty please with sugar on? And, Jen, I'm sorry. I just need to find a place to work you in, okay?
