A/N: You are too wonderful! I got about twenty reviews for chapter fifteen and that's like…whoa. Okay, not one for words today. Sorry! Well anyway my other story is doing okay so I decided to keep up with both equally.

OKAY AND YEAH THAT LAST CHAPTER WAS SHORT! I AM GLAD YOU GUYS POINTED IT OUT TO ME! I thought it wasn't one of my better chapters but thanks for bearing with me! This one will be extra long!

*I posted a new story! YES, I am totally continuing this one, but I would really appreciate it if you could read my new story, to get the juices flowing.

It is LOTR, and I got about 11 reviews for four chapters. *sob * Anyway, yeah. Here's your goddamn chapter.

*Okay, and I AM continuing this story! I promise never to leave you there for so long ever again! I promise also to update at least every week. That will be the maximum amount of time between updates. But if I can sneak onto the computer if my homework is done, I can update sooner.

Oh, and guess what?! I am getting an F in Honors Chemistry! Wtf!

Onwards to chapter 16!

"Deedee." Peter whispered into his hand from behind the tree. He felt his anger boil up inside. "DEEDEE! What the HELL?!"

Deedee dropped the large tree branch and looked over at Peter. "What do you want?"

"How the hell could you do that to your friends?" Peter yelled at her. (A/N: Peter isn't evil until years later. I personally think he is innocent.)

"Fuck off, Pettigrew." Deedee sighed as she kicked Cassie's unconscious form on top of Remus's.

Peter let out an outrageous battle cry and tackled her to the floor.

Meanwhile…

"Fuck!" James cursed as he stubbed his toe on a stone step clumsily.

"Don't fucking curse!" Lily said. (A/N: Got that, eh? I learned that from my cousin. Ah, such classy minds we have these days.)

James laughed at her slight oxy-moron and rubbed his foot tenderly.

"Well, it looks like she isn't here." Lily sighed. "I guess Peter was lying."

"Peter wouldn't lie." James said. "Not about something so serious."

"Whatever you say. Let's head back." Lily said.

"Where can she be?" James asked as they stepped onto the streets of Hogsmead.

"I have no idea." Lily sighed.

"Maybe she's faking it?" James suggested.

"Knowing Gina…she might be." Lily mused, tapping a finger to her lips.

"Wouldn't someone have found her by now? I mean, Professors have been searching for her for days." James ran a hand through his thick hair.

Lily bit her lip as her heartbeat quickened. She hadn't noticed how great he looked because she was too busy worrying about Gina. Damn her.

"Hey Lil…" James started, attempting to steer the conversation to a happier note.

"Yes?" Lily asked.

"Let's go get a butterbeer, shall we?" James suggested, holding his arm out to her.

Lily shook her head with a smile and obligingly took his outstretched arm.

Peter tackled Deedee down and held her to the floor while she struggled underneath him. She brought her head up quickly and Peter pushed her shoulders back down. Her head hit the large branch with a tremendous amount of force and she knocked out. Peter got to his knees and sighed.

"Who would have thought…" He said before he got up to retrieve Dumbledore and the other professors.

"Where are they?" Lily asked the nurse frantically.

"Dear, they are in no fit state to have visitors at the moment—"

"These are our best friends and if you don't let us see them, we will whether you like it or not." James interrupted her forcefully.

"Very well." Madam Pomfrey sighed turned around.

Lily mouthed a 'Thank you' to James as he and Peter followed her. He winked back.

"Cassie!" Lily whispered and rushed over to her friend's side.

"Hey Lil." Cassie smiled weakly.

"How is your head, sweetie?" Lily asked.

"Well it hurts like hell." Cassie closed one eye as she ran her hand along the large bump on the back of her head.

"Poor girl." Lily said as James pulled a chair and sat down in it next to her bed.

"How is Laura?" Cassie asked.

"She's still unconscious." Lily said sadly.

"WHAT THE—"

"Sirius is up." James said cheerily.

"OW! THIS HURTS LIKE A MOTHER F—"

"Sirius!" James hugged his friend before he could bitch anymore.

"Get OFF me!" Sirius said and pushed James off him.

"Alright Sirius, alright." James laughed and sat next to him.

"Sirius?" Sirius asked, confused. "Who's that?"

"Stop being stupid, Sirius." Lily said as she approached.

"I'm not playing. What or who is Sirius?" Sirius asked.

Lily widened her eyes and looked at James.

"You are Sirius." James laughed nervously. "Don't you know that?"

"I'm not Sirius." He said and looked up at Lily. "What's a Sirius?"

Lily's jaw dropped. Wtf? "He couldn't possibly have amnesia, could he?"

"I don't know." Peter said. "He took a pretty hard blow to the head."

"Wonderful." Lily sighed.

"Lily?" A voice came from her left.

Lily looked over to see Laura starting to sit up and rub her eyes in her bed.

"Laura!" Lily screeched, running over to her friend's side. She jumped onto the side of the bed and hugged her friend enthusiastically.

"Who's that?" Sirius asked, referring to Laura. "She's quite pretty."

James shook his head sadly. "Well, that was your girlfriend."

"What's a girlfriend?" Sirius asked. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Just shut up." James rubbed his temples.

"SIRIUS!" Laura shrieked and stumbled out of bed towards him. She jumped onto his bed and hugged him tightly. "Sirius, I—"

"What are you doing?" Sirius asked as she sat up straight.

"What do you mean?" Laura asked sadly. She eyed James and he looked at the floor guiltily. She turned back to Sirius and edged off his bed.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Sirius what's the matter with you?" Laura asked, on the verge of tears. "Why are you acting so strangely?"

"What's strangely?" Sirius asked curiously.

Laura stood up and walked backwards a few steps. "Why are you acting like this?"

"Like what—who are you?" Sirius asked stubbornly.

"It's me, Laura." Laura walked back to his side, kneeling as she took his hand.

"Laura." Sirius mused. "That's a pretty name. Where did you get it?"

Laura resorted to uncontrollable stuttering. She couldn't get a single word out correctly.

Lily hugged her friend and smoothed her hair as she sobbed into her shoulder. They walked back to the bed she was originally in and sat down on the comfortable blankets.

"It's alright, Laura." Lily cooed.

Cassie got up from her bed and walked slowly towards Sirius. She sat in the chair next his bed and stared him hard in the face.

"Sirius, what's my name?" She asked sternly.

"I don't know, what is it?" Sirius asked innocently.

"Oh lord." Cassie muttered.

"Madam Pomfrey!" James called quickly. "Madam Pomfrey!"

She bustled in with her hand on her white cotton hat, looking extremely hassled. "What is it, child?"

"Sirius seems to have lost his memory after taking that blow to the head." James explained.

"Oh dear." The nurse stood with her hands on her hips.

"Can you get him his memory back?" Cassie asked.

"I'm sorry but that is up to fate." The nurse sighed. "He will have to regain it by being reminded daily. It wont just happen, and I have no remedy for this case."

"You're kidding." James said. "There must be something you can do."

"I'm sorry, child." Madam Pomfrey shook her head. "There is no way to bring his memory back except the old fashioned way."

James took his eyes off her and looked at Sirius. He was playing with the hem of his cotton shirt.

That would take a while. Especially with Laura on the verge of insanity because he could not remember her.

It did not take much time after that until Remus was awake and fully restored as Cassie and Laura were. They all walked to the Great Hall for dinner that night, minus Sirius and were seated near the front of the Gryffindor table.

"He'll be fine in a couple of weeks, Laura." Cassie tried consoling her best friend with Lily.

Laura just stared blankly at the opposite wall far away. She hadn't said anything since sobbing into Lily's shoulder in the Hospital Wing. He hair was tangled and her eyes bloodshot. She seemed in a far off distance, not knowing exactly what or who she was.

"Poor girl." Remus said.

"It's all Deedee's fault." Peter said angrily.

"That's right." James snapped his fingers. "Is she still in the Hospital Wing?"

"Yes." Lily said. "She will be there for a while. Dumbledore gave her a few injections to let her sleep for a few days so that when she wakes up she will be energized and ready to spill everything."

"She had better." Cassie rubbed Laura's shoulder sympathetically.

She was still gone. Her gray eyes were dull and sad, something you never saw out of this girl.

Dumbledore stood during dinner and announced the news found out that day and congratulated Cassie, Laura, and Remus at making a healthy recovery. He did not mention Sirius at all. He knew it would be too much for Laura to bear.

The next week, Lily caught Laura sitting on her four-poster, her hand outstretched with the small Bank box Sirius gave her for Christmas in it. She just sat there, staring at the box.

Sirius was still showing no progress and Laura still hadn't spoken to anyone since. She was going about her everyday life a bit more lethargically but speaking to no one, even when she was asked a question in class. Some teachers just gave up because they knew they wouldn't get anything out of her.

"Laura, dear." Lily sat down next to her awkwardly. "Are you alright?"

Laura looked up at Lily with those large, sad eyes. She showed no sign of emotion. She looked so empty, as if death swept in and stole her soul away.

"Please do something, sweetheart." Lily said quickly. "Cry, laugh, scream, anything!"

Laura blinked and looked down at her box. She set it at her bedside table and pushed herself back onto her bed. Lily watched as she curled herself into a ball, not saying anything.

Lily had never really known what true love was, or how it worked, but at that precise moment, she knew that Laura was in love with Sirius. By the way they acted with each other, Sirius was too.

She covered her friend in her scarlet comforter and drew her curtains. It was too heartbreaking to watch her mope around all the time. How could she wander around the school so absently?

Lily couldn't wait until Dumbledore would get answers out of Deedee. What ever it was that persuaded her to do what she did must have been a strong force. But if it turned out to be one of Gina's schemes again, she swore she would raise hell.

Whoever started this was going to pay for what Laura was going through. She swore it on anything and everything she knew.
