Lily's eyes flew open. She glanced around her dormitory. It was still dark. She sat up with a sigh rubbing her temples. She hadn't had a good nights rest. She kept waking up thinking about Sirius, and the way he had kissed her. Her eyes wandered around the dark and silent dormitory looking for some condolence. She hadn't been able to talk to Alice when she had gotten upstairs last night because she had already been sleeping. Her eyes continued wondering until they rested on the still blank, piece of Parchment that was supposed to her History essay. She sighed heavily and decided to make her way to the common room. She didn't bother getting dressed or brushing her hair, it was to early. She did, however, grab the quilt off her bed, and set off down the stairs.

The common room was dimly set, and Lily smiled at the busy houself in the corner of the room who was picking up some garbage left the night before. The fires weren't flickering in their places, instead just burning low. Lily made her way to her favorite table, set her books, quill and ink pot, down and drew open the long maroon curtains covering the tall windows. The sky was dark and starry, making Lily remember the beautiful event she had witnessed hours before. To the east, over the lake, a faint crimson glow was emerging, telling Lily that it was almost dawn. She sat down with a faint smile and dipped her quill into the ink. She wrote out her thoughts on the Goblin Massacre, and was half way done her essay when sudden movement from behind her made her look up. She turned around searching the common room for whatever had caused the disturbance. She paused when she saw shaggy black hair. Sirius it seemed had fallen asleep last night in the same chair he had fallen into. She got up and tip toed over. He had his head rested on his folded hands, on the arm of the chair. His normally clean face looked scruffy with the hint of stubble. Why had he kissed her?

Sirius stirred.

Lily thought back to the moment of the kiss.

Sirius sat straight up. He blinked a few times, before allowing his deep brown eyes to focus on her.

"Lily?"

Lily felt her cheeks glowing red.

"H-hey," she stammered. She looked into his eyes, unsure of what to say, "I d-didn't mean to uh, wake you,"

"You were talking to me though," Sirius replied looking confused.

"No, I didn't say anything," Lily said calmly, although her heart was beating very very fast.

"Oh," Sirius took in a deep breath.

"Yea," Lily sighed.

The two of them blushed deeply, and Lily turned away from him.

"I should, go finish my, uh..."she paused trying to remember what she was saying, "My essay."

As she began to walk away Sirius called her name. When she turned around he motioned for her to sit down. She sat down across from him.

"Lily," he began, "I don't want it to be weird, you know just because of what happened,"

She nodded,

"I really care about you," he whispered.

"You've only known me for a week," she whispered back.

"You are the only person I can be myself around," he told her, "I really want to still be friends,"

As much as Lily's mind was pushing the thought of caring for Sirius away, her heart sank at his saying he wanted to be friends. Only friends.

"Of course we will still be friends," She laughed, "And since you are such a friend, you can help me finish my History Essay," she smiled leading him over to the table she was working at.

The next few weeks, fallowed the same pattern, Sirius and Lily spent most of their time out of class together, except for a few of the weekend nights when Sirius had "duties" as he called them, when he ran of with James, Remus and Peter. They all scowled at Lily every time she walked by probably because she was now taking up a lot of their friends time. The project that Lily and Sirius shared in Transfiguration was almost complete, and they had studied every aspect of the birds they were going to transform into. Nothing was said about the kiss, the topic was never brought up again. Lily was learning to like Sirius's company much more though. When he would go out with James, she was relieved at some time for herself and Alice, but she found her self missing his grin, and laugh. She'd learned a lot about him, his family and where he stood in life, and he learned a lot about her. The only thing she hadn't told him, was of her seeing ability, and the fact that she knew why he liked Transfiguration so much. She hadn't told him she knew he was animagus. This thought played with her mind all the time because she felt that Sirius and herself were very good friends, and that she should be honest with him. She just didn't want the same reaction as James had had.

After dinner one day right before the Christmas Holidays, Sirius and Lily had made plans to revise their History notes for the end of term exam. Lily was waiting patiently in the Library for him. As usual he made his very loud and disturbing entrance.

"Hey Mr.!" Lily protested laughing.

"Mr.?" Sirius sat down looking thoughtful. Lily stared at him knowing him well enough that she knew he wanted to say something.

"I have to cancel our plans," Sirius told her,

"Oh," she frowned, "How come?" she asked closing her book so she could look at him.

"Well James, and them are up to some really cool stuff tonight that I can't miss, its like in the code,"

"Don't worry!" She smiled cutting him off, "I don't care."

"I knew you'd understand!" he smiled giving her a hug. As she held him close, Lily glanced over his shoulder through the window and noticed the full moon smiling back at her. She pushed Sirius away.

"Sirius, don't go out!" she pleaded.

"What?" he looked desperately confused, "I thought you just said you didn't mind,"

"Sirius, I know what this is about, and it's dangerous," Lily said anxiously wringing her hands, "What if you get caught, what if..." she gulped.

Sirius's face became slightly angered as his forehead wrinkled because he was squinting at her. Lily closed her eyes. She knew she had to tell him, but not here in the middle of the Library.

"Come with me for a minute," she whispered, collecting up her books. She got up and he fallowed as she lead him outside to the Lake. She dropped her books with a thud. She took a deep breath.

"Sirius, I know about Remus," she said coolly.

"What about him?" Sirius asked dumbly.

"Sirius," She said quietly, "I know he's a- he's a Werewolf"

Sirius looked shocked for a moment, and then his face went dark.

"How do you know?" He grunted.

"Wait," She pleaded, "I know something else,"

His eyes were wide as he looked down at her,

"I know that you are an animagus," she whispered, "You, Peter and James are,"

"How do you-"

"I know what it is you all do at full moons, and Sirius it's dangerous."

"Lily?!" Sirius demanded his voice rising.

"When I had the flying lessons with James a long time ago, I had a vision,"

"Like that divination crap?" Sirius inquired.

"You sound just like him," Lily said irritably, "And no it's not like that, I can see things Sirius,"

He looked at her for a moment his dark eyes spiting fire, and then he threw his head back and laughed like a madman.

"Oh please Lily," he snarled, "You were spying on me weren't you,"

Lily was taken back at the totally different attitude Sirius had adopted. She was also frustrated because she knew that this was going to happen.

"No," She cried, with angry tears smarting her eyes, "I can see the future, feel the future, I can," she insisted, standing a little taller, "I dream about it, and when i get emotional, i reach into other peoples minds and feel and hear what they are thinking just as if they were my own thoughts,"

"You can't be serious,"

"Would I lie?" She asked staring at him intently. His breath became faster and harder, as his anger rose.

"Why haven't you told me this before?" He shouted.

"Becuase!" she shouted back, "I figured you take it like this!"

"Have you been reading my mind from the start Lily?" Sirius asked.

"NO!" She huffed stamping the ground.

A violent wind wrapped around them as they stood there breathing hard, not shifting their eyes from each other. After a moment Sirius backed down.

"I just feel so betrayed Lily!"

"Well I didn't ask to have this gift,"

"So what else do you know about my life that i think you don't know?" he asked.

"Nothing Sirius, I forced myself not to read most of your thoughts."

"So you've read some,"

"It's hard not to,"

"I can't believe you!" he growled, sounding like the dog she knew he could become.

"Please," She cried as tears filled her eyes again, "I have a bad feeling about this,"

Sirius stared at her violently. She had never seen him angry before.

"Sirius, don't go with them," she insisted, "I have a bad feeling,"

"Yea?" he shouted, "Well guess what Lily, you can't tell me how to live my life just because you have some crack pot idea that you can read minds, I never thought I'd say this, but I don't believe you,"

"Sirius," She muttered feeling as if she'd just been slapped across the face. Tears slipped down her pale cheeks.

"You're tears aren't gonna work Lily,"

"I'm just trying to help you,"

"You want to help?" He roared,

"I have a bad feeling," she pleaded.

"Well i have a bad feeling about this," he said gesturing between them.

"Us?" She whispered not believing him.

"Yes," Sirius looked darkly at the ground, "I trusted you Lily, but I'm sorry, I don't think we can be friends,"

Lily looked at him for a moment and then ran towards the castle sobbing. She paused at the front doorway and looked back at him standing in the dark by himself by the Lake. She closed her eyes, and Sirius's face flashed before her, fallowed by the dog. She opened her eyes, not allowing herself to see the rest of the vision.
