AUTHORS NOTE:: AHHHH I'm sooooooo sorry it's been so long. But exams are approaching now and I lost my notes for a while for this story so I was freaking out. But finally, today, I typed up the next chapter after locating my notes, and now my hands hurt. This chapter is entitled "Dumped and Hurt". I really hope I'll get the next one up soon. But exams are in 2 weeks Monday. So I'm freaking out. I have a Science exam, French exam, French ORAL exam, Geography exam, and an English exam. Joy. So I'll get the next one up soon. And keep checking back for short stories. I usually write those during free periods at school (when we arent doing anything in class). But I never have my He Does Have A Heart notes with me so I can't write this story at school. Oh well, I'll do what I can. So please read and review. Sorry its been so long. I love you all!

"Lily, it's like he's keeping some sort of secret from me. Like, I know him and the guys do pranks, but some nights he's gone all night and comes back weak and tired. I'm not sure what to do."

"Sarah, calm down, alright? Everyone knows he is completely in love with you. And because it's him, you know its true." replied Lily, putting a comforting arm around Sarah, who looked like she was about to have a breakdown. They were in the heads common room.

"How can you be so sure?" Sarah asked, trying to hold back tears.

"It's Sirius bloody Black for Merlin's sake, Sarah. He's never been in a relationshi this long and besides. He. Loves. You. End of story, love." Lily smiled, proud to be the one giving advice instead of getting.

"You sure?"

"Positive. You know the way James looks at me?" Lily asked.

"Yeah. Everyone does. What about it?" Lily smiled.

"Sarah, Sirius looks at you that way." Sarah's face lit up. "Now go get ready for your date tonight." she said, pushing Sarah off the couch and towards the head's portrait.

"I better. I can't go looking all blotchy." She motioned to her face. "Thanks Lil'."

"Anytime Sarah." Sarah walked out of the portrait to head back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Lily glanced over at her calendar on the wall and noticed a full moon on the corner of that very day. She glanced towards the portrait, then back at the calendar. With an uncomforting look on her face, she set off to find Sirius Black.

"Full moon." Lily panted to the Fay Lady's portrait as she approached Gryffindor Tower. She was out of breath, having run all the way here. The portrait swung open to reveal the Gryffindor Common Room. She walked in and everyone fell silent, wondering what would bring the Head Girl to appear here without her friends. Everyone waited for her to speak.

"Sirius Black." she stated, as if it was a regular routine and everyone let out a breath.

"Upstairs." squeaked a first year boy, pointing to the boys staircase.

"Merci beaucoup." Lily said and walked upstairs, hearing the boy mutter "What's mercy bucup?" Lily reacher the 7th Years Boys Dormitory before yelling "BETTER BE COVERED!" and barging in.

The boys dormitory was a mess. Clothes were thrown everywhere and what looked like parchments of detailed pranks were scattered everywhere. Peter Pettigrew had fallen asleep in the middle of the room. 7th year Jeffrey Phillips was lifting Wizard Weights in the corner ('Topless' Lily noted, 'Very nice'). Remus was most likely in the hospital wing already and James never stayed here anymore. 'But where is Sirius?' Lily wondered.

Her question was answered when the bathroom door opened and Sirius walked out.

Naked.

Lily spun around and said "Clothes please."

"Relax, Lily Flower. I've got nothing to hide." said Sirius, and Lily could here Jeffrey chuckle from the corner. She pointed to the door and he left.

"Like hell you don't." She picked up his boxers off the floor in front of her and threw them behind her. "Put them on." she ordered. She heard him rustling behind her and then his hand went to her shoulder and spun her around.

"I'm decent. And you ruin all my fun." He pouted.

"Not working." Lily smirked. "Now tell me what you were going to say to Sarah tonight when you realized that tonight is a FULL MOON!" she screamed the end part and Sirius' face fell.

"Shit."

"Shit is right, Padfoot."

"Damn Lily, what do I do?" Sirius ran a hand through his hair which reminded Lily of James. She sighed. James. Snapping herself out of her reality, she responded to Sirius.

"You have two choices. Go help Remus. Or go out with Sarah."

"You know I can't leave Remus." said Sirius.

"Sarah is my best friend, Sirius. But Remus.. Remus needs you there." said Lily, embracing Sirius.

"God Lil, What do I do?" Lily looked up at him through her emerald eyes.

"Do what's inside." said Lily. "Do what you feel."

"But what if I feel is going to hurt one of the most needed persons in my life?" Sirius asked.

"It depends, are you talking about Remus or Sarah, Sirius. You love Sarah. I know that. But what about Remus? You love him too." said Lily, holding Sirius' hand in hers..

"Love? Lily Flower, I'm not gay." Lily hit Sirius lightly on the shoulder.

"You know what I mean." Sirius laughed.

"Yes, I do know what you mean. And I think I know exactly what to do." Lily hugged Sirius one last time, kissed him on the cheek, whispering a good luck in his ear. She turned towards the door and let go of Sirius' hand. She opened the door to the room and turned back to see Sirius throwing a white t-shirt on.

"Good luck." she whispered one last time before leaving the room.

"Mmm James. James. James that tickles. JAMES!" Lily squealed. "Your hands are cold." James tooks his hands out from under Lily's top.

"Sorry, love." He said, kissing her.

"Umm James." Lily said through kisses. He stopped.

"Yes, love?" He began kissing her neck.

"Shouldn't you head down to the shack now?" James stopped and looked outside.

"Shit. Yeah I should." He kissed her one last time. "I'll see you in the morning." Lily nodded.

"Bye James."

"Later Flower." James stood up, after another kiss from Lily, and headed for the portrait of the Heads Common Room.

Lily sighed as she watched him disappear through the hole. She glanced outside and saw the moon coming out from behind the clouds and hoped James got there on time. she wasn't sure if Sirius was going to show up. Would he go with Remus, or with Sarah? Lying down on the couch she had already been sitting on, Lily slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Lily woke up a few hours later to banging on the Heads portrait hole.

"Lily!" She could hear someone calling her name. Grabbing her wand off the side table, she stood up and opened the portrait hole. Standing outside the portrait hole was Sirius, with James in his arms.

"Lily I don't know what happened. I didn't meet Sarah. I just went out with James and Remus. And Remus was out of control. And last thing I remember was Remus running at me full force before I passed out. When I woke up James was lying beside me. Blood was everywhere Lil. Remus is lying passed out in the shack still. When I woke up he was out. I tried to be as quiet as I could leaving. I don't know what happened Lil. I just don't know." Sirius rambled on and Lily put her hand over his mouth to stop him.

"How much blood?" she asked.

"A lot." Lily shivered, but she wasn't cold.

"Bring him in here." Lily moved out of the way and Sirius carried James into the room and laid him on the couch. "No." said Lily. "To the right, in his room." Lily could hardly process much more than the fact that she had to save James. She had no idea how badly hurt he was. She followed Sirius into James' room. "On the bed." Sirius placed James on the bed.

"Lil? Are you okay?" Lily sniffed, and tried to hold back tears that were threatening to spill. She had just gotten a good glance at James' injuries. He didn't look good.

"I'm fine Sirius. Get me some towels. And a bowl of water. And find me some chocolate. In his closet. On the left. 4th shelf." Sirius nodded but tried to move forward to give Lily a hug. "No. Go. I have to help him as soon as possible." Sirius turned and walked away. Approaching James' bed, Lily choked back a sob and pointed her wand at him. "Reparo" she muttered, pointing at his broken glasses. It was a start.

By the time Sirius had returned, Lily had mended some of his cuts and bruises, but she couldnt figure out where the blood was coming from. Suddenly it hit her.

"Sirius!" she nearly yelled. He looked at her, startled. "Help me flip him over!" Sirius nodded, afraid to say anything and helped her turn him over. And there, in the middle of James' lower back, was a tiny werewolf claw, but the blood flow was strong. "Oh my god." she said and Sirius said the same thing.

Hours later, Lily had successfully removed the werewolf claw and was now sitting in an arm chair next to James' bed. He was still out cold, but had shown signs of waking.

"Lil?" Sirius said from somewhere behind her.

"Did you and Sarah break up Sirius?" she said, she just needed to know because she had finally clued into what had happened.

"I never showed Lil. I stood her up." he said, sitting against the wall. Lily stood up and walked towards him, then slided down against the wall next to him.

"In other words, it's over?" Sirius nodded and Lily laid her head on his shoulder, and his arm immediately went around her waist, pulling her closer.

"He'll be okay Lil. He will be." Lily let the tears pour down.

"I know Sirius, I know. But still. Just, look at him." Sirius nodded and pulled her even closer, and Lily laid her head against his chest instead, letting the tears pour out. Eventually, the crying stopped, and Sirius looked down to see she had fallen asleep. He wrapped his arms around her securely, and leaned his head against the wall.

Sirius awoke to groaning a little while later. Nudging Lily awake, he motioned to the bed when her eyes opened and she jumped up and ran to the bed.

"You're awake!" she said. Sirius only heard groaning as a reply. Shaking his head, knowing James was going to be okay, he slowly made his way out of the room and out into the common room and out the portrait. Time to go see if Remus was okay.

AUTHORS NOTE:: Hopefully I'll have the next chapter up soon. I really am sorry it's been so long. I feel HORRIBLE!
