A/N: Yes, I know. I'm really, really not good at posting. At least not on time at all. But I was reading and I read my story and was surprised because I actually liked it! Well, here is the next installment of Sleeping Day Living Night. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: * Bob the penguin jumps in * She's not JKR. She doesn't own any of them. Don't sue her, the only thing she owns is I. and she doesn't own me for all she may think she does.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"She's missing!" The cry came from the infirmary early the day after holidays started. Mrs. Pomfrey was staring aghast at an empty bed where a redhead girl had once laid, and began to take deep breaths. "It's okay," She murmured to herself. "She can't have gone far."

James Potter awoke sleepily to gentle shaking. Opening his eyes he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Putting on glasses the fuzzy world around him snapped into focus. The walls were white. not the colour of his dorm. There was a rather frazzled looking nurse standing before him attempting to wake the sleeping teenager up.

"What's the matter?" James asked a small frown on his face. He was quickly remembering the events of the past night and was slightly worried that Lily had remembered her life and had ratted him out on his lie.

"Lily is missing!"

"So?" James quickly remembered his story of the night before. "Oh that's horrible! Have you any idea where she could have gone?"

"None. I woke up and came out here to check on the poor duck. And she was gone. I thought you might have some sort of idea seeing as how you were out here," Madam Pomfrey began to look more nervous. The fact that she was able to become more nervous was startling at best and horrifying at the worst. She'd never had a patent just disappear over night. Especially one who didn't remember where she was.

"Now, don't worry Madam, I'll go looking for her," James hid a smirk and simply smiled charmingly instead.

"Oh would you? That would help to put my mind at ease," Madam Pomfrey sighed a breath of relief and watched James smile again and leave to look for his beloved. Maybe she'd misjudged him after all. He seemed like a nice, kind, understanding boy after all this time of hurting others. There was hope for him after all.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

James chuckled slightly as he walked through the corridor. He was free, his hair was no longer changing colours, and Lily Evans had amnesia. Not paying attention to where he was going, he walked into a set of stairs and fell over with out a second notice.

"Ouch," he murmured, touching his leg tenderly. It hurt. He attempted to get back up but was suddenly knocked over again by a rather large, black dog. "Get off of me, Sirius! Or I swear, I'll break your tail."

A boy materialized where the dog had stood a moment before. "You wouldn't!" Sirius laughed. "What's going on? Where were you last night?"

Remus, who had been following Sirius, walked up and sat down on the stair next to them. He shook his head slightly at the sight of Sirius attempting to give James elephant years.

"Oh. you'll never believe this." James smirked, grabbed Sirius's wand, and proceeded to tell Sirius and Remus all about Lily having amnesia and telling the nurse that he was dating her. ". So, all I have to do is play off of the idea of Lily already being madly in love with me and I win. I've already got 20 sickles from her dating me, and I get 50 if I can get her to tell me she loves me. All I have to do is wait for her memory to return, and collect. Then she can go back to being the loner freak and I can stop hanging out with her."

"That seems kind of mean. if you're going to be nice to her until her memory returns... I don't want to sound like a psychologist, but she's probably going to be experiencing the great loss of her parents all over again, and she'll remember how nice you were to her while she couldn't remember anything. It will be doubly painful and could lead to severe psychological scars," Remus frowned slightly. "Plus, it seems just plain wrong to take advantage of her situation."

Sirius and James started open mouthed at Remus for a good ten seconds before Sirius began to laugh. "I thought you weren't trying to sound like a psychologist."

Remus just started laughing. James sat up very straight suddenly.

"I forgot, I'm suppose to try and find Lily. She disappeared from the hospital wing last night. Do you have the Map on you?"

Sirius shrugged, and pointed at Remus. Remus rolled his eyes heaven ward and pulled it out of his bag. James grabbed the map and began to search it. He saw Dumbledore was pacing in his office and Professor McGonagall was in the library, but he couldn't find Lily anywhere in any of the hallways he was looking at. Suddenly Remus pointed to the Gryffindor tower. A little mark labeled Lily Evans was there. And then it vanished, leaving its place a little mark labeled Girl. And then Lily Evans was back.

"What the-?" Sirius stared at the seemingly malfunctioning map.

"She doesn't know who she is," James whispered. "I'd best go to her. Play up the sweet boyfriend character."

Remus just sighed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The girl who formally knew herself as Lily Evans woke up with a start. Her hands went up to her face and found it to be covered with tears. She thought as hard as she could recall but the only thing she could remember about her troubling dreams, was voice shouting. She shook her head and the looked around her. With a small gasp she noticed that she was not in the white room she'd been in before. She was in a room covered with red and gold. The walls were painted a deep crimson red with a dusting of gold paint covering them. There was a shaggy red carpet and a deep red wardrobe. The room was full of windows through which Lily could see snow. There was a desk on the far side of the room that was very neat and orderly. She herself was lying on a four poster bed with red drapes. Next to the bed was a smaller version of the bed. This one had its drapes closed tightly and Lily could here muffled sobbing.

"Hello? Is someone in there? I hope I'm not disturbing you," Lily called out.

All at once the sobbing stopped and a little creature sprung out. It's eyes widened until they seemed to swallow the face whole. "Lily!" Betsy was overwhelmed by joy.

"Who are you?" Lily was shocked. "Where am I? Wait. where's that book that. what's his face gave me?"

Lily looked around and then fell back onto her pillow overcome with emotional baggage. Betsy climbed up on the bed and began to talk.

"My name is Betsy. I'm a house elf, and you'll find that I'm a little better educated then most of them. and that's thanks to you. Professor Dumbledore told me that you had amnesia and would be staying in the hospital wing for a while. What are you doing back here?" Betsy remembered the man's words. "Did they release you?"

"Well, not exactly. I don't remember. I feel asleep in the hospital wing did you say? I thought it was an infirmary. Anywho, I feel asleep there and I woke up here. I don't remember how that happened," Lily explained.

"Oh. Well, let me finish my story and then I'll bring you back there. You see, when I was little my mother fell sick. You were there when I was born, you named me Betsy. After she got sick you asked Professor Dumbledore if you could take care of me. You moved into a private dorm and took me in for the next year or so until I was old enough to work, and until my mother got better. Last week. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore told you, but your parents died. Just a few days later my mother died. You asked the Professor if I could stay in here now that she was. dead. He agreed. And now you have amnesia!" Betsy cried. "I guess now. what's that?"

The two had heard a knocking. Betsy was puzzled because no one ever came to see Lily. Lily just shrugged and yelled for whomever it was to come inside or go away because she wasn't going to get up and open the door. Betsy laughed slightly, it was typical Lily.

The door swung open to reveal a boy of average height. He had unruly black hair and glasses and was wearing a small little frown on his forehead. Seeing Lily his frown turned into a charming smile.the same charming smile he'd used with Madam Pomfrey. Lily stared at him.

"Lily!" He rushed over to her side. "Where have you been? We've been worried sick. Why did you leave the hospital wing? Dumbledore said you had amnesia and I've been there since you were brought in. Do you know who I am?"

Lily just sort of sat there. She knew he was speaking to her but she couldn't understand what he saying. She recognized the words, but everything seemed to be going in slow motion. It took her a moment but she finally processed the questions he'd asked her. "I've been here. I don't know why I left the hospital wing. Yes, I do have amnesia. No, I've no idea who are actually."

James hid a smirk. He had her. "I'm James. James Potter. I'm your boy friend."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Remus and Sirius sat in front of the fire staring intently at the chessboard. They were on the same team. and losing really badly to Remus's little sister Caelum (pronounced Ck-I-loom. The Ck-I rhymes with guy. The Ck is like the sound from kite. The k sound. Then the letter i. Pronounced liked the letter. Then loom. Like the thing you weave with) who was the chess master of Hogwarts. They had a tournament every year and now that Michael Cornalt had graduated, Caelum Weill was the reigning chess master of Hogwarts.

Remus sat back and sighed as Caelum pronounced herself the winner as her pawn smashed the top of their King. Her king started doing a victory dance. Remus had taught his little sister to play chess and was quite pleased with the way it had turned out. Remus was always 'sick' on the day of the tournament or he could have given his little sister a run for her money. As it happened, Remus was quite content letting his baby sister have the credit as a chess master in family. Remus was fonder of playing unsuspecting people for money.

Remus's mum had gotten remarried when Remus was only four years old. It was really a re-remarried type thing. She'd been married to Daniel Weill when she was just out of Hogwarts. Things had ended badly and she'd ended up married to Jonathan Lupin. She had been heartbroken when her husband, a muggle in the American secret service stationed in England, had been shot and died. Eliza Lupin was not one to take to depression though; especially when she found out she was pregnant. The doctor from prenatal care in the wizarding world that she'd chosen had been Daniel Weill. Over the resulting seven months that Remus had been in her stomach they'd fallen in love again. In love enough, that two months after Remus had been born, she'd become pregnant again. with Caelum. She refused to marry Daniel though, because she thought that he only wanted to marry her for the baby. They lived together for the next four years before Eliza had consented to marry him.

It was one of those fairy tale marriages, Daniel was the best father Remus could have wished for over his own, Daniel practically was his father and if it weren't for his mother insisting on him keeping the last name of his biological father, Remus would have been Remus Weill. It had turned into one of those ironic things as well, when Remus had been seven; he'd been bitten by a werewolf while protecting his younger sister. Not so much younger actually. Caelum had been born three months early, making her only eight months younger than Remus and in the same grade as he was.

Caelum broke into his thoughts, "Hey, bro? What was James doing going up to the girl's dorm area? I noticed it a while ago but. I forgot. Chess will do that to you."

"He went to find Lily," Sirius answered with a wink. "Her name's Lily right?" At Remus's nod, he continued. "He's dating her. She has amnesia. Cute girl. I've only ever seen her once. It's odd because I'm pretty sure she's in 6th year now that I think about it."

Remus nodded again, this time with a slight frown on his face. It was true, Lily wasn't that shy from what he'd seen of her. But she didn't have any friends. She had great scores, had been named prefect, but he had heard teachers wondering who the other 6th year Gryffindor prefect was. Remus had seen people almost sit on her before. It was almost like she was invisible or had an unremarkable charm on her. People's eyes seemed to glide right over her.

Remus was once again jerked out of his thoughts by a loud scream coming for the direction of the girl's dorm.

******Anyone who can tell me what Caelum's name means in Latin get a walk on apperance as a member of the student body, the faculty, an animal, a broomstick, a talking tree, or some other magical item/creature. I can work with anything. Just leave things like name, preferred house for a student, the top three choices for a job as the faculty member, what type of animal/creature/broomstick etc. I get to deal with the talking trees******
