Sorry this took so long, I hope I didn't leave you all hanging!



"Moony, I found it!"

"Let's see it then!" James handed the book over to Remus, hoping he would agree. Remus took it, and read the excerpt James had been pointing to.

'I once wished I could be everything, I once wished I could be nothing, But there in my soul, There was a longing.

I didn't have the courage, I didn't have the bravery, I did what was easy I gave up hope.

Now I'm here My heart filled with darkness The memories flooding back to me As I rest in an endless sleep.'

"I don't get it Prongs? It's just a poem."

"But do you see what book it's in?" Moony turned to the cover of the book. It read Prophecy Poems. "I still don't get it Prongs?"

"Prophecy Poems, duh, poems to help prophecies...It's so easy."

"What? You lost me when you showed me the book!"

"Lily is trapped, like the person in this poem. The poem explains her current state."

"Then she won't wake up?"

"She'll wake up, when she is ready. She is currently going through her memories, and she is not going to dies, until she gives up hope."

"So how do we save her?"

"We don't, we wait, we pray, and we talk to her."

"Alright, I'm lost again."

"If we talk to her then she will have no choice but to listen, or go through memories."

"Ok, but what do we say?"

"We tell her we miss her, we can't wait to see her, we make jokes, we tall stories, but most of all we tall her to hope."

"Ah, gotcha."

"Now lets go, it's getting late." And with that, James Sirius and Remus left the Library to get some well-deserved rest.



The next morning James went down to see Lily in the hospital wing. He was only allowed in because it was thought the fall had made him hypersensitive, but it didn't mean he didn't get funny looks from everyone who walked by him talking to Lily as if they were having a normal conversation.

Eventually the bell for first class rang, and James knew he would have to get to Transfiguration soon, so with one last look at Lily, he left, promising to return later.



'What's going on? Why am I hearing a voice?' straining to listen, the conscious part of lily could hear James talking. 'It sounds nice. Maybe if I live I'll hear it again.' She thought as the voice drifted off until it was gone.



James did return, again, and again. He would tell her everything. How the day was, what the weather was like. Occasionally he'd bring Remus or Sirius, but for the most part they thought James was crazy for talking to a person who couldn't listen to him, no matter how James explained it. He talked to her for hours, just trying to bring her back. The situation actually reminded him of a song James had once heard.

Taking over Me
By Evanescence

You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream and dream I do...

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

Have you forgotten all i know and all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If i look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe, you're taking over me

You're taking over me...

He had taken to humming the tune as he fell asleep at night.

What he didn't know was that it ended up keeping the rest of his dorm awake too. It seemed his humming was louder than he thought, and until Sirius finally preformed a silence spell around his bed, and the other boys soon followed his example.



Since James had been coming to visit her Lily had begun to feel stronger with each passing day. She was slowly coming back. It was easier to focus, and soon she was stirring in her sleep. I seemed only a matter of days before she woke up. It seemed....to be a lot of things....



There you go, another chapter. I hope you liked this. I know, it's been a while, but hey, I will try to update again soon. Please Read and Review!

The song was Taking over Me By Evanescence, and the poem was written by me, so please don't steal it!
