Dedicated to Melissa C, because you have been so mean to me! I love you, hunny, and so does Biscuit!

Disclaimer: DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. *miff*

All right. Deep breath. Find a hymnsa. GOOD.

Quote of the chapter: "My heart is like wax and burns melting inside of me." –Seen! (it doesn't have much to do with this chapter, and since you'll never read it, I though I'd put it up anyway!)

MOST IMPORTANT NOTE YOU WILL EVER READ IN THIS STORY:

*note: this is the DAY BEFORE Lily and Sven's wedding*

James, almost completely back to normal, just a little sore from his, er, incident, with his knife, sat on the edge of his bed with his face in his hands at his house. Sirius stood in front of the window.

"Why Sirius?" James couldn't get his anger out through his words. He punched his pillow like a child.

"James," Sirius was nearly in tears, "please forgive me. We were drunk. I can't hardly remember a thing from that night. You were going to be at work all night. Caroline popped in and said she was scared. Asked if I would come over, have a glass of wine. I didn't—I didn't think or know or anything," he was getting hysterical, "you have GOT to believe me, James. I would never intentionally try to hurt you like this. I am so sorry," and broke down on James's shoulder crying.

"Bugger, Sirius. You're having a baby with her. Pull yourself together." James said obviously annoyed.

"Yeah, that's what I'm worried about!" Sirius looked up through his tears, "I know there is nothing I can do to make you forgive me. Ever. But I think I might know something that would help," he said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Yeah, I don't think so, buddy. You're in the slammer in my book," James said harshly, yet appropriately.

He really was being very mature. Most people would not be on speaking terms with a man who had "stolen" and impregnated his girlfriend, but James was taking this surprisingly well. Also for the fact that he had tried to commit suicide. Generally, this had become surreal for James. He was going to lose Lily tomorrow; he had lost Caroline, and now, what's more by his BEST FRIEND.

(a/n: *sob* I luv yew James, I'm sorry)

"Oh, but James. I think there is something. Will you at least give it a shot?" Sirius said wiping his tears from his delectable cheekbones.

"Sirius, I just don't think there is anything that can save me at this point. I am going to just need a bottle of Merlot and a lot of time to get through this. Please, just leave," James said, turning from Sirius.

"James," Sirius was back to sobbing, "you can't mean that! I have something that will make all this better."

"What? This is a dream? And I am still in Hogwarts?" James said bitingly sarcastic.

"Lily."

All the color drained from James's face. He went ghastly pale.

"What about her?" James growled softly through his clenched jaw.

"Pack your bag and grab your broom. We won't be back for a while," Sirius sad with a mad grin on his face.
