AN: I know this is going to be really short. I can feel it. And I want to get it up before I go out (in about an hour) so it HAS to be short. SORRY! But part eight (am I really up to part seven here?) should be out tomorrow as a) I've got it all planned out and b) It's a public holiday! WHOOPEE!

Little Eagle

"Dear Lily…" James started to read, but stopped when he heard a whimper from Lily's bed.

"Please, no… don't… go away! Just go away! Please, leave me alone!" Lily was sobbing in her sleep, and James pulled aside the hanging things, to reveal that Lily was curled up and her hands were protecting her face from unseen enemies. James pulled a chair (AN: it was just there okay!) over to the side of her bed, and pulled one of her hands away from her face. Her eyes were full of tears, and her pillow was wet with them.

"Hush little Lily," He whispered, then started to sing,

"Hush little Lily, don't say a word, Jamesie's gonna buy you a mocking bird,

and if the mocking bird don't sing, Jamesie's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring don't shine, Jamesie's gonna buy you a something something dime,

And if that something something dime turns to brass, Jamesie's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass should fall, Jamsie's gonna buy you a bouncy ball,

And if that-"

"James, James, are you in here?" Sirius hissed from the window. He was floating on his broomstick - which he kept hidden under his bed.

"What is it?" James hissed. He was suddenly angry at Sirius, for interrupting this precious moment with Lily - even if Lily was asleep.

"McGonnagall has started her rounds. She's in the first year boy's dorm now. It won't take long from her to get to ours, you've got to come!"

"Okay," James said reluctantly. He stood up, and hurried to the window. He slipped on the broom behind Sirius, and the two flew off into the night.

The letter lay forgotten on the floor.

You didn't think I'd let them have it that easy, did you?

I told you it was short. Very short. Barely 300 words. But as I said, it should be updated tomorrow. Hey, try and guess who this is: @(-_-)@

Hehe
