A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! I love you lots! I'm very happy!! Sorry for not updating recently. I had a bunch of homework and did not have time to update. I also went and watch X2:

X-Men United, so I didn't have time to update. That movie's great. Anyway, sorry.

Okay, I got a review asking me to stop putting authors' notes in between the chapters and save it for the end. I am sincerely sorry. I hate myself for interrupting you guys, so I think I will. It's just that sometimes I think my descriptions are unclear, so that's why I put little notes to make sure you guys get my point. So I will try as much as I can, okay?

To Hermione101888: Thank you for reading/reviewing. I did make a decision on where to end my story. I am going to end this story at graduation and then make a sequel. Thank you for supporting me. By the way, I checked out your story already. Very good!

To Little House Girl: I know how you felt. I did add at the end of chapter 18 how very uncomfortable I was with that chapter. I mean, you felt uncomfortable reading it; imagine how uncomfortable and hard it was for me to write it. I had to sort of picture it in my mind so I can write it… definitely not a very good image.

So, basically, to all the readers/reviewers who felt uncomfortable with chapter 18, I am sincerely sorry and hope that you understand how hard it was for me to write it. But all of my chapters are hear for a reason; this one with no exception. Chapter 18 really is important, for it is needed in later chapters. I'm not going to spoil it for you now, because part of why it's important is in this chapter. It will also effect later chapters though. So just read and find out.

Chapter 19

The next day, Lily was still very upset about what happened the previous day. During the classes with them, she sits as far away from the Slytherins as possible, and tried to avoid Snapes' eyes. He, however, kept try to get eye contact with her, as though trying to apologize. James was also acting weird. He went everywhere with Lily, only letting her out of his sight if necessary, and seemed really protective of her. Bella was shooting really dirty glares at Snape and Jenny every time she sees them. James had told her what Jenny told him; it was all he could do before Bella can beat up Jenny. Sirius and Remus notice the strange behavior between their friends and could only wonder. So Sirius asked James, but James, keeping his promise to Lily, just shook his head nothing. So Sirius went to Bella to find out what had happened.

"Bella," he said, running up to her after class.

"Oh, hey, Sirius," Bella said, giving him a kiss.

"Hey," he said pulling away from her afterward. They walked down the corridor together.

"Listen, Bella, what's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you know…. Only yesterday everybody was perfectly fine, but today everyone's acting weird; you, James, and Lily, mostly." Bella stopped walking and turned towards him.

"N-nothing's wrong, Sirius. You've just been imagining things." She hated lying to Sirius. But she had promised Lily. She began to walked again, faster.

"Really, Bella. You can tell me what's wrong." Sirius ran to catch up. "I've notice that Jenny Johnston and Snape have been acting weird too. Did they do something?" Bella reached the Heads' Common Room. She went in and headed for her bedroom, but was held back by Sirius.

"Sirius, let me go."

"Not until you tell me what's wrong with you and James and Lily."

"Nothing, Sirius. Nothing's wrong." But she wasn't looking at him directly in the eye. Sirius noticed this.

"Bella, look at me strait in the eyes and tell me nothing's wrong." She couldn't.

"Please don't make me. I promised Lily."

"C'mon, Bella! Please tell me. I only want to know because I'm worried about you guys!"

Bella sighed. "Fine. But under one condition."

"Okay, what is it?"

"You have to promise not to tell anyone. Anyone. Not even Remus."

"I promise."

"Okay, I'll tell you." She and Sirius sat down on one of the couch.

"So? Tell me what's wrong!"

"Well, yesterday, after talking to both Lily and James (a/n: I didn't put this in the other chapter, but it is needed. Sorry for interrupting), I found out some really terrible things. You know in the morning when Jenny came up to us and start flirting with James? Well, she was distracting us, while Snape went and put some potion in Lily's drink. The potion's not suppose to take effect for, like, a couple of hours. Then after classes, James left Lily because he had Quidditch practice. And Snape went and took Lily into that closet down the corridor. And meanwhile, Jenny went to James and started to flirt again. But she accidentally let it slip and James found out her plan. And when he found Lily and Snape…"

"Yeah?" Sirius was really red from anger now.

"Snape was…he was pushing himself on Lily!"

"THAT BLOODY ASS!!" He was so angry, that that was all he could say. He just walked out of the room after that.
