A/N: Hey people! Thank you so much for all the reviews! I know I say this every time I update but I am really really sorry for not updating! I always get writer's block! And then I got all these ideas for the last chapter, so I wrote it all down, and then I let Midnight see what I wrote and she was like "You wrote this?" Well, I'm going to stop talking crazy talk so bye! I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in this fic (J.K. Rowling does) except the one's I made up. I also don't own Titanic. (And I don't want to either I heard the place is haunted)
Ch.6 A Good Morning And A Bad Night
*Dream Sequence*
Lily was running along the boat deck, she had to find James. When she finally saw him, he was with Kathleen and Max. "James!"
"What's wrong Lily?" James asked.
"James, the ship is sinking we have to get to a life boat!"
"That's impossible, the Titanic can't sink," Max said.
"Max is right Titanic is unsinkable," Kathleen joined in.
"What's wrong with all of you?" Lily exclaimed, "Titanic struck an iceberg almost two hours ago! We have to get off the ship!"
"Leave! Are you mad? This ship is so stable, there is no way I'm stepping foot in a small, dark lifeboat. Besides, this is only a drill." Kathleen said trying to calm Lily down. "But its strange," she looked at Max and added, "why would they have a drill at 1o'clock in the morning?"
Tears started to form in Lily eyes from frustration. Why aren't they listening to me? She looked around, she saw other people acting like James, Max, and Kathleen. Why isn't anyone getting on a lifeboat? The ship is sinking! Lily walked to the edge and saw some lifeboats paddling away. Away from the ship, away from her. What frightened her most about that was that the lifeboats looked so empty. When she turned around she saw some passengers looking panicked and some worried. I have to get them to a lifeboat, she thought. "Lets ask a crew member what's happening," she said to them.
"That's an excellent idea, I'm freezing out here," Kathleen said. They started to walk near the bow. When they reached the first lifeboat they saw, James was about to ask the crewmember what was happening when they over heard a conversation.
The elderly women in front of them turned to her husband and said, "We have been living together for many years. Where you go, I go." They turned and started to walk away from the lifeboat. (A/N: That really happened!)
Lily's eyes started to tear up. She heard Max ask the crewmember what was going on. She heard his response; he said that the ship was going down. She looked up and saw the terror in Kathleen's eyes. Max turned to Kathleen and told her to get into the lifeboat. She was about to agree but then she heard women and children only. Lily saw it in her eyes, fear of losing Max. She couldn't do it; she couldn't leave him behind. "Lets get into another lifeboat, one that allows men also," Kathleen said pleadingly.
"No! We have to get into a lifeboat!" Lily screamed.
"Lily!" James said.
Lily gasped and sat straight up.
"Lily, are you okay, you were screaming in your sleep."
James looked worried. She stared in his blue eyes, eyes that reminded her of the ocean. Tears started to stream down her face. "I had a nightmare, of Titanic, no one would listen to me. The ship was sinking and no one would… no one… listen…" Lily started to cry.
James sat down next to Lily and held her comfortingly. "Its ok, you'll be fine."
Lily rested her head on his shoulder. Her crying subsided. She thought of what happened at the party. Her and James had fun talking while John danced with a blond girl. Later they were introduced and all four of them talked. They found out why John and Linda, the girl John danced with, wanted to go to America. James and Lily had to make up a reason for going to America. But they all had fun nonetheless.
James looked down at Lily who was now sleeping. He leaned against the wall and thought for a while. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep still holding Lily in his arms.
*~*~*
The early morning sunlight shown through the small porthole, Lily opened her eyes slowly, not wanting to wake up. She looked around and saw James' bed empty. She wondered where he was, she tried to get up, but felt someone holding her back. She glanced behind her and saw James, still sleeping with his arms around her waist. He looks so innocent when he's asleep, Lily thought. She tried to get up slowly, not wanting to wake him, but that only made him hold her tighter. She rested her head on his shoulder, thinking to herself how comfortable she was.

(At Hogwarts, A/N: I love switching to Hogwarts in this fic, it annoys people.)
She walked into the pitched black room only with a flashlight. She glanced around and saw something on the floor in front of her. She picked the object up. A knife? What's a knife doing in the middle of the floor? She then noticed something on the tip of the knife. She held the knife to the glow from the flashlight. She gasped as she dropped both objects to the floor. The flashlight blacked out as it hit the floor. She jumped back, when she saw what was on the knife. Blood. Her heart started to beat faster, her mind was racing. She stood there in the dark room, when suddenly someone grabbed her by the neck.
"Jacqueline!"
"AHH, OH MY GOD!" Jacqueline screamed at the top of her lungs and jumped off the chair she was sitting on and fell to the floor. She looked up and saw Remus, laughing, standing behind the chair she had been sitting on. She smiled, "don't EVER do that again, you gave me a heart attack!"
"I'm sorry," Remus said while helping Jacqueline up. "What were you doing that made you so jumpy?"
"I'm sorry, I was reading my favorite mystery novel. And the main character just found a bloody knife. And, so, yea…" Jacqueline said, thinking about how stupid her answer was. Just then she realized that everyone in the common room was staring at her. She blushed slightly and yelled out, "sorry, I had another blond moment!" Everyone turned away and started to complain that that was Jacqueline's third blond moment this week. Jacqueline looked at Remus and asked, "So what do you want?" (A/N: Don't get mad at me, Jacqueline is actually based on someone I know)
"What? Oh yea, I was wondering if you saw Sirius around here somewhere."
"Umm, now that you mention it, I haven't seen April for a while. Do you think we should look for them?" Just then they heard the portrait open. They turned around and saw Sirius carrying April. "Am I seeing things?" Jacqueline asked.
"I don't think so."
When Sirius walked over to them, he laid April on the couch and before they could ask he said, "she twisted her ankle."
"Really?" Jacqueline and Remus said in unison.
"Yes, why do you think Sirius carried me here?" April asked.
"Well, lets see, you two were missing for a long time, and I just saw you carrying April in here. So you two eloped."
April rolled her eyes and said, "yea let me tell you I'm married."
"WHAT!?!"
"I was kidding."
"I was too. Fine, then what were you two doing when you twisted your ankle?" Sirius looked away and April blushed and turned her head so she wouldn't see Jacqueline. "OH MY GOD!" Everyone in the common room was now paying close attention to Jacqueline, who they all thought was going crazy for the second time today. Peter who was too scared to go anywhere near them, summoned popcorn and started to pig out (A/N: You can tell that I hate Peter cause this is the first time he's mentioned here). "YOU WERE SNOGGING AGAIN! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOUR BEST FRIEND IS MISSING AND YOUR OTHER FRIEND IS HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SNOG SIRIUS! I have a headache now," Jacqueline said in a raspy voice, "I'm going to bed."
"What is wrong with her?" Sirius asked.
"She's just having another nervous breakdown, nothing important," April said.
Remus however was concerned and went to go comfort Jacqueline.
