'.Two weeks. ok, I'll see you later.' a voice drifted towards me, sometimes clear, sometimes sounding like it was very far away.
I could feel someone holding my hand and my head had something very cold on it. I opened my eyes, trying to get them adjusted to the darkness. My vision was foggy, but I could make out a figure, in the moonlight, that looked somewhat like Dumbledore, with his long white beard and tall crocked hat.
I looked over to see who was holding my hand, but I couldn't make out who it was.
Madame Dileor, the nurse, was near the window, or I at least thought it was her.
My head became clearer and I was just going to speak when Professor McGonagall walked into the room. 'Is she awake?' she said.
'Yes, I am,' I said, sitting up in bed. Sirius, who I just realised, was the person holding my hand, gasped. Then he put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me back down onto the bed.
Madame Dileor rushed over and stuck a large piece of chocolate into my mouth. I tried to complain, but I nearly choked. Dumbledore came over and asked,' How are you feeling?'
I hadn't thought, or felt anything, but when he said that my chest started to ache and my eyesight became blurry again. I told him that, but I didn't hear him say anything in return. I heard him leave a few minutes later.
Back in his office, Dumbledore was pacing. He knew who the "letter" was from. He didn't want to believe it, but he knew it was true. Voldemort was gaining power, in both worlds. He would set on an innocent victim. But Lily was, of course, different. She and Sirius were different from every other Hogwarts student. Because of what they were, it disabled them. But because of what they, they were powerful. Dumbledore knew they could do great, wonderful things, if they were given time. But if Lily was already marked-- who knew how much time they had left.
Back in the Hospital Ward, I was finally fully awake and sitting up, listening to Sirius tell me what had happened. I didn't remember a thing.
'You vanished after you touched the paper, I mean completely from the room. I looked at the paper and I could see your face. There was this green flash, then a couple minutes later, another. Then you ran, all I could see was your face. Then you were lying on the floor, next to your bed, unconscious. I picked you up and the paper on your bed burst into flames. Black flames. Really weird. Then this symbol appeared. It rose from the flames. A black skull. It hovered in the air for a few minutes, then vanished. I ran to the Hospital Ward, then Dumbledore came and asked me a bunch of questions.' Sirius stopped talking and looked at me. I soon drifted into sleep.
I drifted in and out of sleep; Sirius stayed beside me all night long. I had terrible nightmares and would wake up with sweat running down my face and the pain hurting even more in my chest.

Halloween came and passed, along with Sirius' and my first fight. It was over something stupid, the kind of fight you have where you forget what you're fighting about, and immediately make up. We had many fights like that, all exactly the same. I think we just enjoyed the making up. It was about a month before Christmas and we were in the common room (Sirius and me) snuggling by the fire, talking about the up-coming Quidditch match. McGonagall came into the common room to ask who would be staying for Christmas vacation. Sirius put his name down, but I didn't. When McGonagall left it started. 'You aren't staying for Christmas?' Sirius asked.
'No, I thought I'd go be with my family, like always,' I said casually.
'So, you don't want to stay here at Hogwarts, with me?'
'Er, no, I do, except I already wrote to my mum and told her I'd come home...'
And so it went, back and forth, on and on, until I finally exploded and that started a big fight for all the Gryffindors (yes I mean all, the people in their dormitories crept down the stairs to look).
He made me speechless and near tears when he said,' Well maybe, it should be over, maybe we're done.'
I still swear today that half the room (mostly girls) gasped. I slowly got up and walked towards my dormitory. I went in and closed the door. Right before I closed the door I heard some girl say,' Sirius, you did the right thing, she's mental.' No one else was in the room, after having just listening to Sirius' and my fight.
I sat there for about an hour, looking through pictures and notes that he had sent me. I finally decided that I had waited long enough, I had to apologise.
I walked up the stairs to his dorm. I hadn't been able to find him in the common room. I didn't knock, because I had seen all of his roommates lounging around downstairs. I opened the door quietly. He was on his bed-- making out with a blond.
Littlebit's Letter: Ok, you better review. I have the next chapter already written, but I won't upload it until a get some (good) reviews.. Please review! Thanx, ciao.
