Lindsay chose this moment to speak up, "Lily there is another way."
Lily looked at her, "What?"
Lindsay twirled her finger in a circular motion.
Lily's eyes widened, "Could I? Should I?"
"Now's as good a time as any to find the full extent and to let them in on it," Lindsay shrugged.
"I feel out of the loop again," Lucius said.
"I will not say anything," Sirius said, to which he received a pat on the head from Lily.
"Good boy," Lily smiled.
"There is something I have to tell you," Lily started.
"I'm sure you've all noticed my eyes change from time to time," Lily noticed them all nod emphatically. "Well I think you deserve an explanation."
"Could we get out of the sun, first?" Remus asked. "This near to sunset and it gets pretty fierce."
"No need," Lindsay said. "Lily."
Lily nodded and concentrated on materializing a cloud in front of the sun, blocking out the harsh rays.
"Woah," Severus said.
"What did you do?" Sirius asked.
"How did you do that?" Remus asked.
"What are you?" James asked.
"Heh heh, that is what I am trying to explain. But I need you guys not to mention it to anyone else," Lily said. "It could get me into some serious trouble, so it is really important."
"We won't get you into trouble, though we are not so sure about them," Lucius said, sticking a thumb in the direction of James and his friends, to which he received a glare. "I'm sorry, but it is against my nature to trust them."
"WE won't say anything," James said firmly.
"Well, first off. I am an elemental," Lily said.
"Ooh," Lucius, Anthony, and Severus said. James, Sirius and Remus just stared at her.
