A/N: Bad me! I know in the last chapter I said I'd probably update by wed,
and I really was going to but I ended up going over to my friends house,
because she really needed me. This chapter, by the way will probably not be
very good, and pretty short. I'm not exactly supposed to be on the
computer, so I have to hurry.
The Gryffindors sat in Transfiguration sweating over grades. Professor McGonagal was in no hurry this morning and was leisurely walking around the classroom handing back essays. With a glint in her eye she gave Sirius his, and walked back to her desk holding only one last paper.
"I'm very disappointed in these essays. I don't fell as if any of you gave his or her entire effort, well except for one student. Mr. Potter, please come up and take your essay. He is the only one out of all of you to receive full points."
James grabbed his essay and practically ran back to his desk, a small blush on his face. He had always been pretty good at transfiguration, but had never liked standing out from others.
"So, what'd you get Sirius?" James asked hoping against hope that even after the potion catastrophe he'd still talk to him.
"56/60" Sirius said without even looking up. He had tried, he really had. It'd just that nothing ever seemed to be good enough. He could just never beat James.
"Wow that's really good!" James said sincerely.
"What, did you think I couldn't even get this good?" Sirius said standing up.
"No I was just saying..." James said standing up as well but still not mad.
"Then why were you so surprised? I might not be as smart as you but it doesn't mean I'm not smart at all. I mean my god, what's your problem? You think your better than everyone? Well I have news for you Mr. Potter your not!" Sirius pushed James out of his way and walked out of the class just at the time of dismissal.

Lilly woke up feeling light headed. Glancing at her glow in the dark clock revealed that it was about 2 in the morning. Groggily, she got out of bed and slowly pulled on a fuzzy bathrobe and comfortable blue slippers.
She made her way over to the door, careful not to trip on the pile of cloths that had gathered on her floor. She normally was a very tidy person, but her sadness had caused her not to care as much about cleaning.
Realizing she hadn't eaten all day she walked down the stairs to the kitchen. As she went to reach for the handle of the refrigerator, small fuzzy black dots started to cloud her vision. Her breathing became very shallow and she realized she was practically hyperventilating. A cold sweat covered her face and hands and suddenly she lost consciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sirius clumped down the hall, not caring where he was going, just not wanting to be anywhere near James for the next few hours. Deciding the library was as safe as anywhere else, he walked in and sat at a table over in the far corner.
He slowly picked up his bag and opened a small pocket on the inside. Carefully he took out a small, round, glass charm, much like the one he had given Lily. The only difference was, instead of showing the castle, this one showed Lily's house.
Concentrating on her fiery red hair, and her emerald green eyes, Lily finally appeared in the small charm. She was lying on some sort of tile floor, with her eyes rolled back in her head. He could tell she had fainted, but the fact that he knew that he couldn't do anything made a silent tear run down his cheek.
"Sirius? Are you ok?"
The sudden intrusion surprised Sirius and caused him to let the charm go flying through the air, and crack on the hard stone floor.
"Get away from me James!" Sirius yelled running to where the charm lay on the ground. Picking it up he noticed there was a small piece missing, which lay a few inches away from where the charm once was, Sirius however neglected to see it. Turning on his heel he stomped out of the library.
James shook his head and wiped a small tear off his face. As he turned to leave he noticed the small piece of glass on the floor. Picking it up he recognized what it was from, and realized what Sirius must have had.
Smiling to himself he picked up the piece and put it into his robe pocket. He knew that the charm wouldn't work unless it was whole. Sirius needed this piece, it was the perfect way to get him to talk to him.

Mrs. Evans woke up late. She looked at her clock and saw that it was past ten in the morning. She rolled out of bed and made her way downstairs. Doing her usual morning routine, she walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and applied her make-up. Then, she made her way down to the kitchen. Spotting Lily on the floor, Mrs. Evans chuckled to herself. She must have been very tired, falling asleep on her way to get a midnight snack.
She walked over to her, and bent down, when she noticed her breathing wasn't slow and deep and her eyes were rolled back in her head. That's when she realized that her daughter had passed out.
With her heart pounding and adrenaline pumping through her body, she ran upstairs and woke her husband with a small scream.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Mr. Evans asked rubbing his eyes and standing up.
"Lilly*sniff* in the k-kitchen*sniff*" Mrs. Evans cried, tears streaming down her face.
Deciding it'd be better not to ask any more questions, her ran downstairs and found his daughter. Carefully her carried her to the couch and sat next to her and tried to wake her up by dabbing a wet cloth on her face.
Slowly but surely Lily's breathing started to slow down and her eyes fluttered open. After a few deep breaths she sat up and looked around a little bit confused.
"What happened? Why am I down here?" Lily whispered closing her eyes.
"I don't really know. Your mother found you a few minutes ago, passed out on the floor. Do you remember anything about what happened?"
"No, not really. I remember being hungry I guess, and scared at one point. I guess mainly I remember feelings, not events."
Mr. Evans looked carefully at his daughter. He was going to ask more questions, but decided that it could wait until they could get an appointment at a doctors office, or until they were more relaxed at least.
He Helped Lily up to her room, and tucked her in, and returned to his wife. She was asleep on the bed, her head down by the footboard. Laughing to himself he turned her around and tucked her in, deciding to make breakfast himself this morning.
He yawned as he walked into the kitchen, this morning had been very stressful and it had made him very exhausted. As he reached the refrigerator he stepped on something sharp. Looking down he realized it was some sort of glass. It looked rounded, like it had once been on some sort of ball at one time. Quickly, he picked it up, threw it away, and started to make his famous pancakes.
A/N: Ok this chapter is done for now. I know it's short and not that great but hey it's better than nothing. I really need to get going on this because I will be gone for the first two full weeks in august-so don't expect any update during that time. See you all next time, please review!
Ps. I'll thank reviewers personally next chapter!
