Lily was in a state of panic. Bell still wasn't back yet. "Do CPR Sirius! Quick!" Lily demanded.

"CPR? What's that?!" Sirius was helpless right there, having absolutly no idea of what to do.

"You open her mouth, and breath into her mouth, give her air . . . kind of like you're kissing her . . . quick!" Sirius put his face up to hers and breathed with her while Lily pumped on her stomach. "One . . . two . . . three . . . go!" Lily counted, repeating this procedure over and over again.

Lavender coughed, water spilling out of her mouth. They did it one more time with Lavender was finally up and running agian. Lavender sat up, rubbing her head. "Ohh . . . I'm so sorry guys . . . "

Just as she had said this, Bell and Professer McGonnagal came running towards them.

"Are you alright, sweety?" McGonagall asked, leaning over Lavender. Lavender nodded, blinking a couple of times.

"We have to get you to the hospital wing . . . ." McGonagall muttered and conjured up a strecher. James and Sirius pulled Lavender onto it. Once they accomplished this task, McGonagall started off to the hospital wing with the seven teens following behind her.

Lavender was laying on the hospital bed, complaining about how hard it was.

"Seriously, how am I supposed to sleep on this? It's hard as a rock. They really need to get new mattresses. Can I go now?"

"In about an hour, Miss Aurora. For now, you need your rest. And for the last time, DRINK YOUR POTION!" Madam Pomfrey was stressed out over Lavender, mainly because she kept complaining and moaning and whining, and would not drink her potion.

"Fine, fine, fine" Lavender said, gulping down the disgusting green potion in front of her.

Lily was sitting in James's lap, listening to his heart beat. Lily was tired. "Are you feeling any better yet?" Lily asked.

"You asked me that, like, five minutes ago Lil." Lavender pointed out. Lily sighed. She really didn't see how Lavender was taking this so well. She almost died for God's sake!

"Thank you, Sirius" Lavender said to her hero. Sirius, who was sitting on the edge of her bed, kissed her on the forehead.

James, Sirius, and Remus went downstairs early under the Invisibility cloak to suprise Lily. Lily was already downstairs in the common room, talking to Lavender and Bell and Finky on the couches. Other than them, there was no one else in the room. James motioned for Sirius and Remus to be quiet as they went closer to listen to their conversation.

"--I can't belive you actually like him . . . do you really like him?" Lavender asked.

"Of course. James is cute, funny, smart, hott . . ." Lily trailed off.

"You went through with the plan well, Lily. That bed was well earned." Finky said.

"But the funny thing is . . . I really do like him. He's nice, and he makes me happy." Lily responded.

James didn't hear the last thing. 'She really doesn't like me . . . it was all a hoax . . . I can't belive this . . .' James couldn't take this anymore. He reveiled himself, Remus, and Sirius. Lily gasped at the sight of them, her heart beating at a not-normal rait. 'ohhh merde. . .' Lily cursed to herself in french.

"Lily, Is this true?" James asked, his eyes full of disbelif.

Lily looked around, waiting for Lavender to back her up. When this didn't come, she said, "James, I'm sorry! It was Lavenders idea, I just went along with it . . . James, I am really sorry!" Tears were forming in her eyes. "James, I really do like you . . . I love you! The idea was jsut to get us to get along, and it worked! I love you James! I'm sorry!"

James shook his head. "You can just go and face that person yourself" James went back to the dormatory. Lily was now standing. "No . . . James . . . stop . . ."

Remus was still there. "I can't belive you did that, Lily. Your just a fake. I can not belive this." He and Sirius followed James up as well.

"Wait . . . where is everyone going? guys? Come on! I'm sorry!"

Lily looked at Lavender and screamed, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Lily walked through the portrait hole, leaving a perplexed Lavender and a distraught James behind.

James was in the boys dormatory, feeling really guilty. What if what she had said was true? But James was hurt all the same. He couldn't belive Lily had done that. But he couldn't belive what he had done, either. Lily was going to go face her enemy all alone, with absolutly no help at all.

Remus and Sirius walked in.

"I can't belive she did that James" Sirius said

"I guess she was never what you thought she was, huh?"Remus asked.

"Well . . . what she said . . . before I stormed off . . . what if it was true?" James asked, looking up.

"I doubt it" Sirius said.

"I mean, she hated you for six years, and then BAM! She just magically starts to like you" Remus said.

"But I feel so sorry . . . I can't belive what I did . . . now she has to go and face her enemy all alone, and if she gets hurt, it's my fault" James said/

"No, It's her fault, for what she did to you" Remus said.

James fell back onto his bed.

Lily was walking down the hall, trying to get as far away from the common room as she could. Tears were erupting from her eyes like a volcano, or a mini rainstorm on her face.

Lily suddenly hated James. She hated his stupid messy black hair that fell over his beautiful-- no, stupid, Lily corrected herself-- hazel eyes. She hated his wounderful sence of humor and his perfect complexion. She hated him in general, and she hated herself for going along with Lavender's stupid plan.

Lily was suddenly sorry for yelling at Lavender. She couldn't help it. She was just trying to help Lily and James, that's all.

'The astronomy tower' Lily thought 'I have to go to the astronomy tower'

Lily headed up there with mixed emotions. When she finally got to the tower, she was about a half an hour early. She didn't mind. She needed some time alone. She looked at the sky and found Sirius, the dog star, the big dipper and the little dipper, orions belt, and sagittarius before she heard the door open behind her.

Lily spun around to see her enemy-- or enemies, rather. They were three girls; two were slytherens Lily recognized from her grade- Narcissa Black and Erin Chambers. The other girl was Bellatrix something, Lily couldn't recall her last name, but she was a year older than her.

"Well, well, well, Miss Perfect is depressed" Bellatrix teased

"What do you want?" Lily demanded in a low voice.

"We want you! We want to know all of your secrets! How you recived your gift! We want to know it all!" Erin said in a sugary voice.

"My gift?" Lily asked, non-plussed. These slytherens apperently had absolutly no idea what they were talking about.

"Why, Miss Evans, You don't know?" Narcissa asked. The look and Lily's face answered her question. "You have a gift that only few witches will ever have!"

Lily cocked her head to the side.

"You are a bringer of light . . . a reciever . . . a healer" Bellatrix tried to explain

"Oh! I read about those people . . . they're called Almens!" Lily exclaimed

"Oh yes!" Bellitrix said, gratefull that she understood. Bellatrix pulled a candel out of her back pocket. "Try to light this. Without your wand" She added when Lily reached towards her back pocket.

Lily didn't know what to do, so just made a wild guess. She pointed her index finger at the wick and said, "Light!". To her suprise, the candle lit.

"Now try to summon that book over there to you, again without your wand" Bellatrix said.

Lily pointed her index finger at a heavy dictonary and said "Come!" The book didn't move. Lily opened her palm and said the same thing she did before. "Come!" The book flew into her hand.

"Now the healer. Lily, you can heal cuts and wounds" Erin said.

"How come I never knew about this before?" Lily asked.

"Because you just formed these talents. You never had these talents before" Narcissa said, patting Lily's shoulder.

"How come you're here, then?" Lily asked. Lily was wondering why they were being so nice.

"Because isn't it odd that a girl with non-magic parents could have these powers . . . a common mudblood?"

Lily shrugged.

"You could be dangorous, miss Evans. That is why you are coming with us."

The next moment there was a flash of red light and Lily hit the floor. Lily had no clue that she was being carried out of the castle that very moment.

The next morning at breakfast, everyone noticed that the usually happy and bouncy Lily wasn't at the table. "Where's Lily?" Finky asked, looking around

"She's probably still sleeping" Remus said, rolling his eyes.

"No, she didn't come back last night. and she wasn't in her bed this morning." Bell said, worried.

"Maybe she slept in the common room or something, I don't know." Sirius said, shrugging it off.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, listening to the rest of the people in the great hall having cheery conversations and discussing scedules and so forth.

Then Dumpledor tapped his wine glass with a fork and stood up. "May I have your attention, please?" Everyone in the Great Hall looked up at him attentivly, expecting good news. When they saw his face, they realized it had to be bad news.

"I am sorry to say this, but Lillian Anne Evans has dissapeared from this school"
