Thanks for the reviews! I still only have 7 though, and I still find that pretty pathetic.

Lily and Rebecca were walking back to the Gryffindor common room, with their arms full of food. Since the Marauders were having a "guys' night out", they decided to have a girls' night in. It was around five in the morning, and Lily and Rebecca had been up all night talking, about James and Sirius mostly, when they decided to go visit the kitchens.

"I wonder where the guys went. They've been doing this once a month since fifth year," Lily said as they went turned a corner to go down another corridor.

"Ah look it's our two favorite Mudbloods."

Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape were walking towards Rebecca and Lily from the other end of the corridor.

"Ah look, it's Loserus and Snivelly. Now what the hell would you freaks be doing up this late? What, was there some Death Eater gathering or something?" Lily asked, dropping the food in her arms, in case she needed to pull out her wand.

Lucius and Severus just smirked, which frightened Lily and Rebecca. Usually they had their wands out and were hexing all of the Marauders just for walking by, but now it was just Lily and Rebecca, insulting Lucius and Severus straight to their faces, and all they were doing was smiling.

"Yeah, was that dick Voldemort teaching you and the rest of his little bitches how to kill innocent people?"

"NEVER insult the Dark Lord in front of us!" Lucius screamed, he then cried "CRUCIO FLAMEUS," and made a slashing movement with his wand, out of which came a purple flame. It passed right across Rebecca's chest, and she collapsed.

"REBECCA! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU MALFOY!"

Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter, where running down the hall straight at Malfoy. Remus and Peter both screamed, "EXPELLIARMUS," which disarmed Malfoy and Snape. James and Sirius ran over to them, and started beating them to a pulp. Once they were unconscious, James and Sirius hid them in a broom closet, locked the door, and ran back over to where everyone was standing around Rebecca.

"Rebecca, please wake up." Sirius cried desperately, as he began to shake her. "SOMEBODY GO GET MADAM POMFREY! NOW!"

"James ran down to the hospital wing as fast as he could.

"She's not...she can't be…Rebecca please wake up," Sirius whispered, as tears started to pour down his face. He took her hand in his; it felt as cold as ice. Lily collapsed against the wall, her face buried in her hands.

Remus knelt down beside Sirius, and tried every spell he could think of to revive her, but nothing seemed to be working.

Finally, James came running back down the corridor, accompanied by Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Dumbledore. All three teachers eyes widened in shock. "Who did this to her?" Professor McGonagall demanded. "Malfoy," Remus said quietly, his voice full of hatred.

"What exactly did he do?" Madam Pomfrey questioned, examining every inch of Rebecca's body.

"He said an incantation, and he made this weird slashing movement, and this purple flame thing crossed her chest, and she just…collapsed." Lily said, while tears poured from her eyes.

Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall gasped.

"Albus, that's extremely advanced Dark Magic. You need to find out where Mr. Malfoy learned that from." Madam Pomfrey insisted.

"FORGET ABOUT MALFOY FOR A SECOND…IS REBECCA GOING TO BE ALRIGHT?" Sirius screamed.

"Yes, she'll be just fine. Malfoy isn't a powerful enough wizard to do anything fatal, but he still caused quite a lot of damage, so it will take a while for Ms. Newman to recover, and it will be painful for her."

Sirius had never felt happier in his life. It hurt him to think of the pain Rebecca would have to go through while she recovered, but when he had seen her collapse it had felt like his whole world had ended, and that his heart had been ripped out of his chest.

"Professor Dumbledore, this is going to require the help of Fawkes." Madam Pomfrey said as she conjured a stretcher out of thin air.

As soon as she said it, a burst of flames appeared in midair, and Professor Dumbledore's phoenix fluttered down onto his shoulder.

Sirius lifted Rebecca onto the stretcher, and they all walked down to the hospital wing together.

"What were all of you doing out of bed anyway?" Professor McGonagall asked. "It's 5:30 in the morning."

"Oh, umm, my owl came to deliver a letter, and when he landed on my trunk he accidentally set off some Filibuster's Fireworks, and between the fireworks and my owl's screeches, our whole tower woke up. We saw it was starting to get light out so we thought we'd wait for Remus to get back from the Shrieking Shack. We saw Malfoy and Snape just hanging around in the corridor, so we told them to go back to bed and Malfoy pulled out his wand and hexed Rebecca." James smirked at his brilliance; he was so good at coming up with cover stories.

"James you moron! Why the hell would you say that Remus was in the Shrieking Shack? That's out of bounds!" Lily thought to herself, puzzled.

To her surprise, Dumbledore just nodded and said, "And where are Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Snape now?"

"Oh…they, umm, ran away after they hexed Becca." Sirius said, with a nervous at the broom closet they were hidden in.
