The next morning Sarah was trying to wake Lily, but couldn't. She then noticed that her friend wasn't breathing, didn't have a pulse, and was white as a sheet. She screamed, waking up the rest of her roommates, but also bringing the boys in.

Sirius went over to Sarah and hugged her while James and Remus took opposite sides of Lily's bed. They sat down and each grabbed one of her hands. A smile appeared on Lily's face as she said, "Nice to see you too."

She opened her eyes and yawned widely. "Sorry."

Both boys laughed and pulled Lily up by her hands. Lily was up in a flash and looking for clothes. Sighing, she pulled her wand and muttered a few words. She was ready to go, though still looked tired. She looked at Remus and said, "This sucks."

Remus laughed and said, "Nothing I can do."

Lily rolled her eyes before moving to Sarah. She waved her wand and Sarah went back to normal, and thankfully none of the other girls had seen what Sarah screamed at, or what Lily had just done.

Lily went to breakfast and used the spell Remus gave her. She smiled as she drank the blood and looked at the sky. She was watching the clouds move when Lucius Malfoy stepped behind her. "Well, well, mudblood. Trying to look better by not eating?"

Lily looked at Malfoy and raised an eyebrow. She winked suggestively and he stopped being a jerk. She waved her hand and he left in an instant, amid many laughs from the Marauders.

Peter was looking at Lily in an odd way while James, Sirius, and Remus all laughed with her. Lily was about to get up and head to class when Albus stepped up behind her.

"Hiya Alby! How goes it?"

Albus smiled a little and said, "I am fine, Miss Evans, how are you?"

Lily thought for a minute before yawning. "Oops, sorry about that! I'm kinda tired, though."

Albus nodded his head and took a deep breath.

"After dinner?"

Albus looked at Lily with wide eyes, but Lily just looked at him normally. "Yes, if you would please."

Lily shrugged and went back to gathering her things.

~*~

"Yay! Charms!"

Remus put a hand on Lily's shoulder and pushed down on it. Lily stopped and said, "Ooo, over a little, yea, you got it!"

Remus threw his head back and laughed while James and Sirius moved forward. Sirius covered Lily's eyes as James picked Lily up by her waist. Lily shrieked and said, "James Potter put me down!"

James just laughed as he carried the now able to see Lily to the Charms classroom. Lily crossed her arms and turned her head so she could look at James. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

James just smiled as he continued to walk. Lily saw her opportunity and shot her hands forward. She started to tickle James' stomach, and his footing was starting to go a bit unsteady. He finally had to put Lily down as she continued to mercilessly tickle him. Lily jumped up and started to do a victory dance that was cut short by James standing up straight and asking, "Now, is the little flower ticklish perhaps?"

Lily glared at James before her eyes widened and she ran. Sirius and Remus were holding each other up, and their friends' bags, as James chased after Lily. She ran and ran, thankful that she didn't need to breath, and got into the classroom right at the bell. She sat down and smiled cheerfully at Flitwick.

"Good morning Professor!"

Flitwick couldn't hide the smile that spread across his face. "Good morning Lily. And where are your things?"

Lily smiled and pointed to the door, where James was panting, and Sirius and Remus were laughing hysterically. Remus moved into the classroom and sat next to Lily, handing her the bag he was carrying.

"Right here Professor! I was a bit busy trying to get out of Mister Potter's reach, and so my dear friend Mister Lupin grabbed my things for me."

She smiled sweetly, and Remus stifled another laugh. James sat right behind Lily, with Sirius right behind Remus, and Flitwick smiled. "Indeed. Please try to come in on time boys." All three nodded, and went back to the lesson, which Lily completed in five minutes time. Once she was done, Lily looked around the classroom, noticing the glances all of the jealous girls were giving her.

Lily turned around and watched as James tried to get his rock to change colors. She had her head cocked to the side, and her brow was furrowed as she watched him. After a few tries, Lily noticed his mistake and pushed her seat to the edge of his desk.

"No, hold your wand the other way. Yea, now tap it gently and elongate the second 'o' in Colorare, and the 'a' in Mutare." James tried it, and his rock started to change colors.

Lily smiled and said, "Good job, now if you want a specific color, just add it in. Like, I want mine to be, oh I don't know, the color of my hair."

James laughed while Lily brought her rock over to James' desk. She tapped her wand to it and said, "Colorare Mutare Lily's Hair."

James scoffed and said, "That's never going to work."

Lily raised an eyebrow as the rock changed to the exact color of her hair. James' jaw dropped as he tried it on his rock. It worked, and James had to laugh. Lily winked before turning back to her desk, bringing her rock with her. She sat back and watched the sun while everyone else tried the spell. Remus didn't even look at Lily as he put a hand on her shoulder and started to rub a little. Lily took the hand and squeezed it gently before saying, "This is boring. Let's do something."

Remus raised an eyebrow, but Lily was looking at the ceiling of the classroom. She blinked as she looked down at Flitwick. "Perfect."

James, Sirius, and Remus all looked at Lily as she studied her teacher for a few seconds. She had her wand and was muttering something under her breath. A stream of red light shot out of her wand and hit a spot right above Flitwick's head. Of course, the teacher noticed and turned to look at it.

While he was looking, Lily pointed to all of the girls and muttered, "Vestire Mutare Homo."

The girls were all in men's clothing, and right before they noticed Lily pointed her wand at the guys, with the exclusion of the Marauders, and muttered, "Vestire Mutare Femina."

All of the guys were changed into Woman's clothing, and Lily almost laughed. She waved her wand in a circle over her own, James', Sirius', Remus', and her own head and muttered, "Operire Corporalis."

Right after Lily put down her wand Flitwick turned around and shrieked slightly. Everyone else looked around and burst into laughter before the girls noticed that they were wearing guy's clothes. Lily and the Marauders, with the exception of Peter since he was in the Hospital Wing with the Wizarding equivalent of the pneumonia, all burst into laughter. Remus turned to the other two boys and said, "She put an illusion on us. They all think we have the other's clothes on, so just pretend."

James and Sirius laughed even harder and nodded their heads. Lily sat back in her seat, a smile on her face. Flitwick smiled back at Lily and tipped his imaginary hat. "Settle down class, settle down. I'm sure it will wear off in a little while. Until then, back to the lesson!"

The class was stunned into silence, before most of the girls shrieked again. James and Sirius looked at each other before turning to Lily. James leaned over his desk and asked, "How did you get out of trouble?!"

Lily just smiled and looked back at the ceiling.

~*~

By lunch time the spell had yet to reverse itself, and the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw sixth years were trying to find the culprit. Of course, the Headmaster knew whom it was, but found it all frightfully amusing. In fact, when Lily walked into the hall, surrounded by almost the rest of her year, Albus burst into laughter and said, "The new look is quite smashing."

Lily had almost fallen over from her laughter, but caught herself at the last minute. She walked to her table and sat down, James, Sirius, and Remus sitting around her, and she started to plan a prank on the Slytherins. She was just about to put it in action when McGonagall came up behind her and said, "The Headmaster asks if you could remove your spells Miss Evans."

Lily looked up at Albus and her eyes were wide with innocence. She pointed to herself and mouthed, "Me?"

Albus burst into laughter again, but when he stopped nodded his head. Lily pouted before pulling her wand and waving it over her head in a circle. She muttered, "Finite Incatatum."

Everyone went back to normal, and Albus smiled again. Lily winked at him then turned back to McGonagall. "I do believe that you are hungry, Professor, and there is still some time left in the lunch period,"

Lily let her offer stand as McGonagall turned back to the staff table. Lily turned back to the boys and said, "Oh yeah, I'm good."

Everyone laughed before going back to their meals. Lunch ended, and Lily was walking a bit slower to her next class. Remus noticed and asked, "You ok?"

Lily just waved him off as she yawned. "Nighttime is so much better."

Remus smiled as he took her bag. "Well come on, you can sleep in Divination." Lily smiled and followed her friends to her next class.

The rest of the day was sort of a blur for Lily, who was very tired most of the time. She did as Remus told and slept during Divination, but she had to go outside for Care of Magical Creatures the period after. By dinner she was waking up again, and she found that she was particularly hungry, which made her very irritable. Remus already had to hit her upside the head twice, and James had to ask her out again, something that really annoyed her, to get Lily to calm down.

She was better after dinner, but that went away when she realized she had to go to the Headmaster's office. She made funny faces to him all through dinner, and the boys were laughing particularly hard from it all, but she still had to go. Waving goodbye and apologizing profusely, Lily made her way to Albus' office.

Lily teleported instead of walking because she was lazy and when she got there, Lily got a major shock. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Albus came in just after Lily was forced up against a wall.

"What did you bring him back for?!"

Kyle smiled evilly and moved closer to Lily. "Now, now dear. Do not patronize the kind man you will kill."

Lily's eyes blazed as she pushed Kyle off her and into the fire. Kyle growled and jumped out, punching Lily across the face as he did so. Albus sighed and waved his wand around. Three minutes later, when Kyle had Lily up against a wall, most of the teachers, and all of the Marauders, with the exception of Peter, came running through the door. Lily kicked Kyle off her and looked around for something wooden. She flipped one of the chairs and broke a leg off of it. Just before she could attack Kyle, said person lunged and kicked Lily out the window. She flew back in and growled in frustration. Kyle smiled and 'transformed', something Lily really didn't like. She kicked and punched him into a wall, then lifted her hand. The piece of wood she had previously broken came zooming though the air, but Kyle was faster and caught it. He lunged at Lily, and she just barely escaped. Instead of hitting her heart like it was supposed to, the wood hit Lily in the stomach. Everyone stopped and looked down at Lily's stomach. Lily coughed and pulled the wood out. She twirled it in her fingers, her own teeth coming out. "Bad move Kyle."

She hit Kyle over the head and pulled his hair. Kyle turned, and Lily plunged the wood into Kyle's heart. Kyle growled and said, "This isn't over dear."

Lily was panting as her body healed itself, and she watched with fear as Kyle exploded into a pile of ash. The picture was of Kyle scowling again, and Lily spit on it. Albus collected the ashes again while Lily sank to the floor. She coughed again, her stomach bleeding, but only because there had been blood in her stomach. Lily shivered and reached a hand to the fire.

She let the flames lick her hand, but not burn it. Once she felt the heat, she sat back and put her other hand in. Everyone was watching as one of her fingers caught fire. Lily just watched it in sadness. She finally stood once her body was healed, but was still watching the flames, which were now over her entire hand. She blew on the hand and everything went out, but she was cold again.

She turned to Albus, her eyes dead like they had been when James had seen her. "If you brought him back so you could see if I was what you thought I was, I'm not going to be very happy."

Albus looked up from the ashes and asked, "So you are then?"

Lily shook her head. "No. Why do you think he wants me so badly?"

Albus looked back into the ashes and said, "He was never meant to be woken again. Fawkes was crying over something else and a few of his tears hit the ashes. I will get rid of these immediately, however."

Lily nodded and turned to leave when Albus stopped her. "I am sorry for this Miss Evans."

Lily nodded and went back out the door, actually tired even though it was nighttime.

~*~

Lily went straight to her bed, a sadness like nothing she had felt before flooding over her. She just lay in her bed and stared at the ceiling when she heard someone come in. She felt them coming closer, but was not expecting to see James. "Is something the matter?"

James took one of Lily's hands in his own, and rubbed it until it became warm. Lily shivered, and James took her other hand. He rubbed it, and it too became warm. Lily put her hands to her face, and sighed when she felt the heat. She looked at James, tears threatening to spill again.

James moved closer and said, "Don't cry."

Lily looked up into James' eyes and didn't feel like crying anymore. She nodded and sat back against her headboard, a thoughtful expression on her face. "It didn't hurt like it should have. You know, it should have felt like hell and back again, but it only stung slightly. I don't like it. I want it to hurt."

James looked at Lily with sympathy evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry."

Lily rolled her eyes and moaned, "Not you too!"

James laughed as he pulled Lily back into a sitting position. "Not me too?"

Lily smiled fleetingly before saying, "Albus said it as well! It's not your fault, it's Kyle's."

James smiled slightly as well. "Well I'm sorry this happened to you. You're really not a bad person."

Lily smiled slightly and replied, "Thanks, but I'm sure you could find something bad about me. Oh hey! I know one! I'm a hybrid!"

James snorted and asked, "So? Look at Moony."

Lily smiled slightly and said, "Too true, but still."

James smiled slightly as well. "Very well. But I still think you're a good person."

Lily's smile widened a bit. "Thanks."

James nodded and kissed Lily on the forehead. "Good night Lily Flower."

Lily's smile was still in place, if not a bit wider, as she said, "Good night James."
