Serenity looked down at the floor then back at Lily with a hopeful look in her eyes.

"Cool, so do you get to like, change into a werewolf once a month" "Uh, yea, that's it, I'll understand if you don't want to be friends"

"God, you are so insecure, don't you get it, I don't care, and I think it's cool"

"Really" Serenity said, not wanting to believe it in case it was a cruel joke.

"Really" Lily said firmly, "hey do you think Dumbledore would let me stay in here with you?"

"I think he would agree" said a voice from behind; they twirled around to see Dumbledore behind them.

"Do you mean it sir" Serenity said

"Yes I do, now I just need to talk to Lily for a moment"

"Oh sure, I'll go check out my room" Serenity (with a huge smile on her face) ran out of the room and up the stairs.

Dumbledore looked at Lily and said, "You may not realise this Lily, but what you have just done for that girl is something no-one has ever done for her before, Serenity was given away by her parents when she was bitten and has been shunted from foster home to foster home by her parents"

"That's awful" Lily gasped, "Who could do that, she is so nice"

"there are a lot of people in this world, magical and muggle, that have been corrupted by prejudice, you are the first person that has not had to have been memory charmed to stop them telling every one her secret, I must ask of you Lily, what was your reaction when she told you her secret?"

"It wasn't what I had expected to hear, but I love the idea of being able to change into an animal, it sounds like fun"

"It isn't fun for Serenity, the transformations are hard, and painful, I must leave now, if there is any thing you want to tell me, or your father, come to my office and ill always be their to listen, and if you need your father we can contact him from there"

"Thank you sir, I'm sure that won't be necessary though"

"That's not a problem dear, goodbye"

Lily raced up the stairs when Dumbledore had left; she found her room, decorated with Griffindor colours, dumped her stuff, and went to find Serenity.

"oy" came a shout from downstairs, "Lily, are you in here, the plaque on the door has your name on it too, HELLO"

"I'm here, I'm here" Lily raced downstairs where she found the boys talking to Serenity.

"Hey guys, what do you want?"

"We decided to prank Malfoy and Snape at breakfast tomorrow, we need some ideas, and you seem to be full of them today, what with Snape's tutu and all" Lily blushed and smiled slightly.

"That was you" Serenity gasped,

"Yep, I had to get even and that was the only way I could think of to do it"

"Didn't you get in trouble" Serenity asked, her eyes wide

"Didn't you hear, she's too brilliant, they couldn't catch her" James said, trying to impress Lily

"So what did you guys have in mind?" Lily asked, her eyes shining"

"That's why were here, were out of ideas"

"Hum, how about we make them, jump on top of the table, strip dance to their underwear, and make Snape propose to Malfoy, and Malfoy accept" Serenity said, surprising even herself.

"Shot girl, you rock, Lily, do it" James said, slightly depressed that he hadn't thought of it. (3 cheers 4 hefelump, who thought of the prank- you go gal)

Lily clicked her fingers and the deed was done, "Now, I'm going to go to bed, I always get tired on trains"

"Night Lils" James said out loud, and in his head he said 'Sweet dreams' 'Thanks, you too' Lily replied, before going off to bed.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Lily, Lily, wake up its time for breakfast, LILY hurry up" Now Serenity was getting worried, no matter what she did Lily wouldn't wake, Serenity poured water on her, screamed at her and shook her.

The guys came racing in.

"What's wrong, you were screaming like a banshee" Remus asked

"It's Lily" Serenity sobbed, "she won't wake up"

"WHAT" James shouted, "Sirius, go tell Dumbledore to go to the hospital wing" with that James picked up Lily as if she were as light as a doll and carried her downstairs.

Ohh, what's wrong with James's poor Lily, can she be saved- you won't know if you don't REVIEW I need to be in double digits or no more chappies, SO REVIEW

Hugs n kisses to all that review
