A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! I love you lots!

To MegHarts: Thank you for your review. I'm sorry. I had no idea that my story was starting to sound like yours. I had no intention of it; I'm pretty sure that it is a coincidence. However, if you feel that it is too alike to yours, I will begin to make changes in them. But first, I will have to read your story and see how much alike it is. Once again, I would like to apologize. You are a great author I really have no intentions for my story to copy yours. Oh and if this chapter is like yours too, then I would like to apologize for that. Please don't be offended or anything. And if you see anything that you would like for me to change, please don't hesitate to tell me.

I am working on a new James and Lily story. It is not posted yet, but will be as soon as I feel that it's the right time. I might post it up sometime in between the sequel of this. Anyway, once it is posted, please check it out. I'm not going to tell you what it is yet. Don't want to spoil the surprise!

Chapter 21

James, Sirius, Lily, Bella, and Sandra ran down to the school grounds. When they got to the Whomping Willow, the branches weren't moving and a hole was revealed.

"Oh no," said James. "Snape's going to see Remus!"

"Huh?" questioned Sandra.

"Never mind," said James. He went into the hole, followed by the rest. They went down the tunnel and up the staircase. James pushed the trapdoor and they were in the Shrieking Shack. Snape was cowering in a corner and a werewolf was about to attack him. James pulled Snape quickly down the trapdoor and back into the tunnel. They exited the tree and into the grounds. Snape was pale from fear.

"W-was t-t-that Lupin?" he asked shaking. James nodded. From behind him, Sandra fainted.

"We got to go see Dumbledore," Lily said, not looking at Snape.

"Yeah, we should," James agreed. "But someone need to go with Sandra too. Why don't I go with Sirius and Snape to see Dumbledore, while you and Bella take Sandra up to your room? You can explain things to her when she wakes up."

"Okay," Lily said. And with that, she and Bella helped Sandra up to the castle.

James turned to Sirius and Snape. "Come on," he said. "Let's go."

In Dumbledore's office, James, Sirius, and Snape sat across from their Headmaster.

"Explain what happened please, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore said.

"Well, I was in the library studying with Lily when Bella came in and told us that she told Sirius what happened between Snape and Lily. Bella said that Sirius was so mad that he practically exploded. So I knew, that he wants to revenge Snape. So I found him, and he told Snape about…about Remus…"

"I see…" said Dumbledore. He didn't need to ask what Sirius was revenging Snape for. He knew. "Well then," he continued. "Mr. Snape, 50 points will be taken away from Slytherin for your actions. You may leave. Oh, and you must not tell anybody about Mr. Lupins' conditions." Snape nodded and left. "Mr. Black, 50 points will also be taken away from Gryffindor and you will receive a week detention. Mr. Potter, 10 points for rescuing Mr. Snape. You both may leave now."

Meanwhile, back in Lily's room, Sandra had just awoken.

"Oh my…Lily, Bella, I just had the weirdest dream ever! I-I saw Remus…and h-he was a werewolf!" she said.

"It's not a dream," Lily said solemnly.

"I-it was t-true? R-Remus is a-a werewolf?"

Bella nodded.

"O-oh my…" she stood up. "I-I got t-to go. G-good night guys." And she walked out of the room shakily.

"I really hope things turn out okay between her and Remus," Lily said.

"Me too, Lily…me too."

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

Remus got back a few days later, really angry with Sirius. But Sirius apologized and things were cool between them again. Then, during lunch, Sandra came up to him.

"Hi Remus," she said.

"Hey," he replied, leaning in to kiss her, only she held back.

"Listen, Remus. We need to talk. Can you come with me for a moment?"

"Sure." And they walked out of the hall together. They stopped in a corridor and Sandra turned to face Remus.

"Remus, I-I can't see you anymore," she said.

"Why?" asked Remus.

"I-I found out a-about your p-problem…"

"Oh that…"

"I'm sorry…I just can't go through with it."

"I understand," Remus said quietly, looking down.

"Okay…. We can still be friends right?"

"Yeah…yeah sure."

"Great." And she walked away leaving Remus alone in the middle of the corridor. Then Lily stepped out from the corner and up to Remus.

"Oh, hey Lily," Remus said, giving her a small smile.

"Are you okay, Remus?" she asked carefully.

"Yeah, I'm fine…. I didn't expect this relationship to last long anyway…what with me being me and all…"

"Listen, Remus," Lily said softly, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Who you are is great. Don't listen to Sandra. If she can't appreciate you for who you are, then she's not worth it. There're other girls who'll love you no matter what happen. And unfortunately, she's not one of them. But don't worry. There're others."

"Thanks, Lily. You know, James is really lucky to have you as a girlfriend." And they embraced in a siblingly hug. Even though they're the same age, it felt as though he is the older brother that she never had, and that she was the younger sister he never had. But now they do.
