Lily breathed in, wondering where she was. There was a large fireplace, complete with a roaring fire in the corner, and huge oak doors were to her left. A whole wall was lined with broomsticks, from tiny to large and apparently organized by how old they were. Sinking back into the comfortable bed, Lily heard the doors open. Someone was walking over, and it sounded as if it was a male walking. Someone stood over her, and Lily's eyes went wide.

"Potter?!" She exclaimed. His gorgeous hazel eyes were filled with relief.

"Evans! You're awake!" He grinned. That gorgeous grin... She thought. Wait, no! WHAT AM I THINKING?! This is JAMES POTTER that I'm talking about! I'm 17, I should know better!

"Erm…where exactly am I?" She asked, generally confused.

"You're at my house, and you've been out for three days." Lily's eyes went even wider.

"THREE DAYS?! Wow...that's a long time. What happened after I fainted at the Leaky Cauldron?" Lily asked, still a bit confused.

"Sirius grabbed you, shook you, and then picked up your trunk and owl cage.

I asked what he was doing, and he replied with a 'Duh, we're taking Evans to your house! We can't just leave her here!'" Lily blushed.

"Oh. Thanks. Tell Black thank you too." She said, embarrassed at her imposing.

"No need for him to tell me, I'm right here!" Lily did the classic girl scream as Sirius jumped out from behind James.

"Black, what was that for?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Sirius grinned as Lily yelled.

"Maybe I should do it again, so it will work!"

"I'm serious, Black!" Lily scowled.

"Actually, I'm Sirius Black!" Sirius grinned wider as Lily rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, I better be on my way. Thanks again!" Lily started to get out of the bed, but James and Sirius pushed her back down.

"You're not going anywhere, Evans. If I were you, I'd look at my ankle." Lily peeked down at her ankle, and gasped. It was swollen, and bruised purple and black.

"As James said, you're staying right here with us." Sirius said, actually being serious for once.

"Thanks, but I really don't want to impose..." Lily said, but at that moment a woman with honey brown hair and eyes to match stepped through the door.

"Hello, I'm Mrs. Potter, James' mother. It's not any trouble for you to stay at all, as I heard from the boys, you went a traumatizing ordeal. Please stay as our guest; we'd love to have you!"

"Well, thank you very much Mrs. Potter, I'd love to stay." Mrs. Potter, satisfied with her answer, smiled.

"Just call me if you need anything! And by the way, you can call me Susan." Mrs. Potter turned around and left as suddenly as she came. Lily turned back to the boys, and each had big smiles plastered on their faces.

"What are you guys thinking about?" Lily asked suspiciously, eyeing the boys.

"Just look down, Evans!" Sirius grinned even wider.

"Why should I do that?" Lily looked down, and all she saw was robes...wait...ROBES?!
