Authors Note: Thanks to those who reviewed my story. I will try to get my new chapters out sooner. Thanks again!

When the train stopped at Hogsmeade Station, Lily and James ran to the front to receive their duties as head girl and boy.

"You two will show the first years to the docks and then meet in Dumbledore's office immediately after to discuss your duties, do I make myself clear," McGonigal said.

"Yes ma'am," they answered in unison.

McGonigal left and Lilly and James ran out to greet the first years.

"Do you think we'll have to stand up in front of the hall when he announces us?" Lily asked worried.

"Probably, but it will only be for a sec and I'll be right their nest to you."

"Thanks, I feel much better," she replied sarcastically. James smiled and left to help a group of first years. As she watched him leave a 2nd year girl ran up to her and asked her were the carriages were. All thoughts of James left her mind as she lead the girl out of the station.

INSIDE HOGWARTS

"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts," Professor Dumbledore said peering through his half moon spectacles at the students.

"Before we begin the feast I would like to announce to all the new students that there is a tree on the grounds called the Whomping Willow. I exert great caution to all, for the tree has no regret to killing anyone who comes in its path." He smiled pleasantly and looked at James and Lily.

"There is also one other announcement I would like to make," he said smiling," I would like to introduce your new head boy and girl Lily Evans and James Potter." The hall erupted with cheers as the two heads stood up. James smiled over at Lily and gave a dramatic bow. Blushing Lily looked away.

"Would you two come see me in my office after the feast," Dumbledore added staring at the two heads. They both complied by nodding their heads. With a wave of Dumbledore's hand the four tables were covered with foods many could only dream of. As soon as Sirius and James laid eyes on the feast they loaded their plates mercilessly.

As soon as James took one bite his stomach gave a sickening lurch and he quickly pushed his food away. His fathers words continued to play over and over again in his head. He stood up and began to walk through the hall towards the door. His friends, Lily and Taylor included looked up at him.

"Hey James where are you goin?" Sirius asked worried.

"Oh, I don't feel very well, Lily would you mind telling Dumbledore that I wont be able to make the meeting." She was about to protest, but decided against it. She simply nodded her head. James quickened his pace and he exited the hall.

When he reached the Portrait hole he realized he didn't know the password.

"Shit," he yelled. He leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. He dropped his head into his hands as a single tear fell down his cheek. He quickly brushed it away. James Potter didn't cry. He suddenly thought of the one thing that began this whole entire thing with his father, His sister. Another tear fell unchecked down his cheek as he remembered the day that made his life hell.

'James lets go play,' Emily said giggling. James looked over at his sister and stuck out his tongue.

'Alright, but just for a while.' He smiled at her as she ran over to him. Grabbing his hand she pulled him out of their room, through the front door, and out into the yard. She ran a few feet a way and turned back to James.

'Lets play tag, your it! She yelled laughing. James smiled and ran after her staying a couple of feet away so he wouldn't ruin the game for her. He knew he could easily catch her.

'I'm gonna get you!' he yelled, speeding up ever so slightly. She laughed and ran over to the side of the road. James took no notice. Smiling she turned around and started crossing, laughing whilst she walked.

James smile faded when he saw a car speeding around the corner and heading straight for Emily. He quickly ran over to the street and tried to push her aside. But it was to late. It hit James' arm sending him flying backwards whilst Emily took the full blow from the car. A sickening crunch was heard as his sisters small body was tossed to the side of the road as of it were merely a rag doll. And the car continued to drive away. A long bloody gash ran down James' arm, but he hardly noticed.

He quickly ran over to his sisters body. He looked down at her face and burst into tears. He picked her up and carried her back to the house. Her lifeless body dangling in his arms. Pushing open the door he screamed for his parents. Who immediately came rushing out. As soon as they saw him their faces paled.

'What did you do?" his father roared at him. He took the small body from his arms and glared at him.

"This is all your fault. It should have been you. You should have died not her." His mother was to shocked to say anything so she just sat in the chair rocking her dead daughter in her arms.

Snapping out of his reverie James wiped his face of the stray tears. He missed his sister so much. And he believed what his father had said. It should have been him who died, not her. He pulled up his sleeve and stared at the scar that ran up his arm.

Suddenly James heard a cough and his head snapped up. There in front of him was Lily Evans.

"Umm, I don't mean to bother you, but aren't you supposed to be inside the common room?" she asked.

"Oh, yeah well I didn't know the password so I just waited up here." She smiled at him.

"It's 'alumnae'."

"Thanks." He stood up and turned towards the portrait.

"Uhh, James, why is your shirt wet?" She asked pointing to his shoulder. He looked over and all the pain suddenly came rushing back to him. He winced, but then smiled.

"It's just a uhh… small cut. I nicked my shoulder on the way up here and I guess it must have started bleeding." He smiled.

"Well I can fix that." She said the password and pulled James inside.

"Sit," she ordered. Confused James sat down on one of the plush red couches. Lily pulled out her wand and walked over to one of the large bookshelves. When she found what she was looking for she pulled it off the shelf and propped it open on the table. Leafing through the pages, she suddenly smiled.

"Aha, here it is!" Saying the spell a few times in her head she walked over to James and began rolling up his sleeve.

"Lily no, it's okay, really," he pleaded trying to scoot away from her. He winced when the fabric caught on the wound.

"Oh, quit being such a baby."

"Lily, please stop. You don't know what your doing, just leave it alone."

"Why, so it can get infected. James its no big deal. Just let me see it." James suddenly couldn't suppress his anger.

"Fine, you want to see it," he yelled surprising her. "I warned you, but no, you wont stop. So here ya go." He grabbed his shirt and pulled it off. Revealing his cut along with multiple other lacerations, scars, and bruises. She gasped and he immediately regretted what he had just done. Green puss oozed from the red swollen wound. The veins blackened and enlarged pulsed beneath it. A searing pain shot up his shoulder as he reached to touch it.

"Oh my god," Lily whispered as she looked at the wound. James turned his head and sat back down.

"You know James you should really get that looked at by Madame Pomfrey."

"No, Lily you cant tell anyone about this. Please swear. You cant be getting in to this."

"But," she began before James cut her off.

"Swear," he barked.

"Okay I swear, but what happened?" James looked at her.

"Nothing okay, just leave it at that. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight Lily." He pulled his shirt back on and disappeared up the staircase.

Lily plopped down on the couch and sighed. She wanted to know what happened to him, but she new that it would take a lot for him to confess it to her. From then on Lily made a promise to herself that she would find out what happened and befriend this new James Potter.
