Author's note: Ok I have to explain some things. First of all, not every
thing is going to be okay with Sirius and Hex *WARNING WARNING
FORESHADOWING!!!* LOL. Also, Remus is a very nice person but what would you
do if your best friend was completely smitten (he he) with someone and they
just said to let them die? I don't think you would be standing around, but
then again you might. I just thought that maybe Remus should stand up to
someone like Neville did in the second book. Thank you SK() for pointing
these out because now people know my reasoning with things :). I might
have to change the rating of this story. It might get a little gory later
on but it won't exceed anything that is unacceptable for younger readers.
Warning though it might be disturbing. But not in this chapter! Please
Enjoy!
Thanks to: Carleen: Didn't review but told me how great it was! Cassiecat: Lily is evil. so am I. *screams blue murder* I agree though. Poor Jamesie! *pets James on the head* *see Sirius and dumps James in the lake* SK(): As I said before, thanks for your criticism! It is greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for saying that they are portrayed well! I was really hoping on capturing their personalities!

"She said what?" Sirius said in surprise the next morning.
"Yeah, I know. Ole Prongsy is taking it pretty bad." Remus, Sirius and Peter were eating breakfast in the Great Hall with the rest of their classmates. As usual, Peter was too busy stuffing his face to engage in any kind of conversation aside from the usual nods and grunts.
"You know, Wormtail, you are going to explode if you keep stuffing pumpkin pastries in your mouth," Sirius informed the blob of a boy sitting across from them. Peter shrugged and resumed eating.
"I'm really worried about him," Remus confided.
"Yeah, I've never seen him this down. I got an idea!"
"What?"
"We can hire him a stripper to get his mind off of Lily!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly.
Peter stopped eating and gaped at Sirius. Some pastry crumbs tumbled out of his mouth and onto the table. "Are you serious?" he asked.
"Um, Padfoot? One slight teensy little problem. You ever though of teachers? Prefects?" Remus questioned as he raised one eyebrow.
"You got a point there."
***********************************************************************
Sirius had to cancel his plans to go to Hogsmede with Hex. He needed to be there for James. Hex took it well, or so it seemed. She was paranoid about Sirius. He was popular and she wasn't. Why was he hanging out with her? She figured it was a joke or that he had another girlfriend and just kept her on the side for some extra action.
Hex sat in the dungeons day after day, plotting against Sirius. With each day, she became more paranoid, more tense. It was driving her insane. She decided she needed a break, a good long walk in the forbidden forest. Dark it was, just like her mind. It kept her secrets as she whispered to the trees. It held her softly, more soft than Sirius ever could. The forest was her friend. Her only friend.
Hex was taking a walk through the forest one night. It was late, around midnight. She felt the mist caress her as she walked and spoke into the air. She entered a small clearing and called out into the night, "Areth dien monrie ack!" She spoke the tongue of the Dark Lord.
A shadowed figure appeared, speaking back to her in the same language. "You have come I see," it said. "I assume you are ready?"
"Yes, my lord. I have come to join you."
The figure laughed evilly. It grabbed her arm and branded her with it's wand. She flinched in pain but didn't dare to scream. "Thank you. Lord Voldemort."

Lily was giggling with her friends but inside she was torn up. She felt as fragile as a crystal ornament. She didn't sleep the night before. She was too busy regretting her actions and what she had said. Remus swore at her. He never did that. It was like his personal taboo. James must have been really upset. "He deserves it," she thought to herself. "Anyways, he can't really love me. Can he?"
Lily contemplated on the issue so much it was destroying her, inside and out. Her friends were getting worried about her. She hadn't slept for weeks after the incident and her marks were dropping rapidly.
James had also suffered greatly. He had given up all hope and planned to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible. Remus greatly advised against this but James was persistent. He planned to leave during the Christmas Holiday.
About a week or so after James and Lily fell out with each other, they bumped into one another in the 4th floor corridor.
"Hi," James said so softly it was almost silent.
"Hello," Lily responded coolly.
"Lily- I-," James started.
"Forget it Potter. It's not going to happen."
"But-."
"No."
James looked disappointed, but in a last moment of hope he called Lily's name. She turned around and tapped her foot impatiently. James grabbed her by both her shoulders and pulled her towards him.
"James! What the hell are you doing?!"
James shushed her by pressing his lips against hers. Lily felt limp as James kissed her. James slowly pulled away.
"By the way," he said as he started to walk to his next class, "What's not going to happen?" James flashed her a sly grin and ran down the hallway.
