A/N: To clear the misunderstanding, Lily Evans was in Ravenclaw and JK Rowling, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The story started on a full moon, which means Remus just transformed. Finally, Lily Evans was not in the Gryffindor Common Room in the middle of night for, the Head Boy; James Potter and the Head Girl; Lily Evans, share the same common room, which is separated from their houses. Hope all of this clear up any misunderstanding.

"Evans, it's-" James said

"Well?" Lily said demandingly. "Off snogging girls in the closets all over the castle?"

James anger flared up. Here he was trying to explain, and then she's just going to cut him off and insult him!

"It is NONE of you business!" James answered loudly, clenching his fist. Unfortunately, it brought pressure to the wound on his left shoulder and groaned in pain.

He's faking it, thought Lily. She stood her ground and glared at the Gryffindor once more. "Potter, that groaning is not going to work, now tell me, WHERE WERE YOU?"

"None of your damn business I say! Why are you so nosy?" James shouted, getting really annoyed. All he wanted now was to go to bed and rest; his aching shoulder is killing him.

Lily surveyed James once again. His hair was messy as always, his robes were torn and ripped. His hair is still the same, and I bet that he ripped his robes on the way here. She looked over at him again; he was clutching left shoulder which seems to be bleeding and is leaning heavily on the wall near the staircase. Fake blood from the awful joke shop Zonko's and damn good acting. But he won't fool me.

James saw Lily looking at him and smirked, "Finally notice what you have been missing Evans?" He knew he shouldn't have said that when Lily's eyes snapped on his direction.

"Don't dream on it Potter. I am not going to fall for this, act of yours. I'm smarter than that, explains why I'm Ravenclaw. Now, tell me the truth" Lily said, daring James to answer.

"Well, believe what you want, now if you don't mind, I would like to go and sleep, unless you want to join me" James said, already making his way to go up the staircase. He was concentrating on not putting any pressure on his shoulder, which was still bleeding furiously. He also doesn't want to fall on his face in front of Lily for he still has his dignity intact and he wants to keep it that way.

Now Lily is furious. One of the things she really hate were people turning their backs on her while they were still talking. "Potter I am not done with you yet" she said stomping her way to James, who still had his back turned. She reached up and grabbed his left shoulder.

James heard Lily say something, but he couldn't concentrate on it for he was really tired and really wants to go to sleep. Then suddenly, he felt pressure on his injured shoulder, which led to excruciating pain shooting from it. He half gasped, half screamed in pain, falling on his knees. There goes my dignity. He turned his head weakly to Lily. "What the bloody hell is your problem Evans? Just leave me in peace" he hissed. The pain was worse than ever. He closed his eyes as his breath quickened, wishing the pain would go away. He tried to get up again, but he couldn't for he was using his right hand to hold his shoulder. He sighed in frustration and instead leaned his back and his head on the wall, closing his eyes.

Lily let go as soon as James gasped and screamed. She pulled back her hand and looked at it. Her eyes widened. This is no joke. On her hand was crimson liquid, which was unmistakably blood. James said something, one that didn't catch but made her looked up. She saw him glaring at her and at the same time, trying to get up but was failing miserably. Then she saw James lean on the wall and close his eyes.

She was about to approach him when the portrait opened revealing none other than Sirius Black, his face bandaged. He looked at his best friend who was leaning on the wall, eyes closed. "James?" Receiving no response, he looked at Lily, his blue eyes burning dangerously.

"What did you do to him Evans?!"
