Sorry my other chaps have been short, I've not had much time 'cos I've been moving rooms...anyway, give me a few days for the next one and it will be as long as this one! Just remember, review!!!! Lots!!! So, on with the story...

Days and days passed with no sign of Lily, yet she was there. Well, she was somewhere. Somewhere no one would find her. Thing knew where she was. She was in the heads room.

Lily sat on the couch in the heads common room facing the fire. The portrait door opened at James walked in, wearing a very...angry yet happy look. So much for not being found.

He almost walked right passed her, but stopped suddenly and turned to face her. He now wore a look of pure joy, and picked Lily up, hugging her tightly. Lily pushed him away angrily. She wasn't used to being hugged, especially by people who didn't believe her. Not being able to speak, Thing spoke for her.

'I think she wants you to leave her alone,'

'Whatever,' James said, before picking Lily up and twirling her around.

'Now she just wants to know what the fuck is going on,' Thing summed the situation up incredibly well for a box. Lily just wouldn't have used so many words.

'You did it!' James cried excitedly, putting Lily down.

'Did what?' Once again, Thing managed to say Lily thoughts.

'You did it! Lils, you did it, you really did it! I've already told the marauders, sorry, and I think Dumbledore is telling the school tomorrow, but you did it!' James bounded off into his bedroom.

'Did what?' Thing repeated. Lily glared at the silver box. Once again, it had managed to say her own thoughts, and it was freaky.

Lily sat back down and hugged her knees to her chest. She had done something, and she didn't even know it. Great. And the whole school would know by tomorrow, and she wouldn't. Fabulous.

Lily stared into the fire and felt herself drifting off to sleep. Images of the past swam around her and carried her away on a white fluffy cloud.

Deciding breakfast was a bad idea, Lily headed to the quidditch pitch, She took a broom from the cupboard (A/n- I don't think she has her own one yet) and kicked off. Letting the cold wind bite against her cheeks, she sawed upwards and towards the sky. She was home. Not for long, but she was home. She noticed however, there were two other brooms in the sky. Two very familiar brooms with two very familiar figures riding them. Two very familiar brooms with two very familiar figures riding them, heading towards her. Then she ran. Flew actually, but still, she went in the other direction, speeding away from the two marauders.

She landed quickly, and, hearing the other two following, dashed off to the girls changing rooms. Boys weren't allowed in there. Or so she thought.

'Lils!' James' voice rang around the room as a shower switched on. Water gushed down in one of the cubicles, giving the two boys a clue where Lily was. Or so they thought.

'Lils!' Sirius drew back the curtain which hang in front of the cubicle where the water was running, only to shut it after a moment of staring.

'Sorry Katherine, I thought you were someone else,' he called through the curtain.

'Get out!' The girl screamed in reply.

'It's not like I haven't seen you before,' Sirius muttered, but none the less stepped away from the cubicle.

'Lils! Where are you?' James asked, his voice ringing around the locker section of the changing rooms. A locker door banged shut and Janice stepped in front of James, trying to press her lips to his as she did so. James pushed her away and asked

'Have you seen Lils?'

'Are you still after the girl who won't talk? She's just a stupid little mudblood...'

James' hand flew to her face, but hit Lily's instead.

'What do you want with Lils?' Thing asked for her as Lily nursed a red cheek.

'Who said that?' Janice asked, not seeing the box Lily was holding.

'Never mind,' Thing answered. 'Now, what do you want with Lils?'

James sighed and grabbed Lily's hand, dragging her out of the changing rooms.

'Where are we going?' Thing asked as Lily tried to pull away.

'I'm not answering your box,' James said, still pulling Lily behind him.

'I'm not a box!' Thing cried. 'I'm a Thing!'

'Whatever, just stop trying to pull away Lils, I swear I won't take you anywhere where you're likely to die,'

'Yeah, but we're likely to go somewhere we'll never come back from,' Thing grumbled.

'Awe, now why would i take you someplace like that?'

'I just have a feeling,'

What do you think??? I'll update soon, if you REVIEW!
