After the girls persuaded Bella not to play tag, the boys came down, each one wearing sad faces.
"Why are you all like Christmas-is-not-coming?" asked Lily, as the boys sat down, looking at each other.
Sirius sat down beside Lily and hugged her from the back. Lily just sat there, looking at the marauders.
"Well...Something happened..." started Sirius but was cut off with a glare from Remus.
Lily eyed the marauders again before standing up.
"Okay then, I'm going to breakfast. Who's coming?" asked Lily and then she went straight to the portrait hole, Arabella and Alice following.
After the girls left, everyone glared at Sirius, who in return, gave them his knee weakening smile. Peter pretended to gag and then went out of the common room to get breakfast.
As soon as Peter left the room, Remus burst.
"I can't believe you Sirius! You almost told her about James's parents!" exclaimed Remus, throwing a pillow at him.
Sirius dodged it and smiled.
"I'm sorry okay. I mean, I just always need to tell her everything." Said Sirius.
"Well, do you think Lily wants to know that my parents died?" asked James, hot from anger.
Sirius cowered back and was all sweaty.
"Sorry! Please forgive me!" said Sirius.
With that, James stomped off and shut door with a loud bang.

Lily's POV:
I know it. I just know that Sirius is hiding something from me. But, it's okay if I don't know. I mean, I'm not those type of girls who pout and give puppy eyes to their boyfrinds who wants to know something.
But today, he's hiding another thing from me. Whatever happened to our truce about saying everything to each other?
But maybe, what he was about to tell me today was private. But I still want to know the other thing that's been bothering me ever since the past two months.
But hell, maybe I don't want to!
Oh! I'm confused with my thoughts! Wait! We just arrived at the Great Hall! Yay! I'm starving...
The girls took a seat in the Gryffindor table and began dumping food in their plates. No matter how pretty these girls are, for them, diet was just a four letter word.
"Okay then, Lily, I think Sirius is hiding something from you." Said Alice, eating some of her mashed potato.
Arabella was eating at top speed, always dumping more food in her plate.
"O, yuf me the on e as abou to tell yu?" asked Arabella with a mouth full of pudding.
Alice closed her mouth and glared at her.
"Swallow it then talk!" said Alice, then returned to her mashed potato.
Arabella obeyed and then swallowed her pudding. She then glared back at Alice and turned to face me.
"Do you think it's the one he's about to tell you just this morning?" asked Arabella thoughtfully.
I looked down at my plate of food and looked up again, only to see Alice and Arabella bickering about their food. So I wasn't the only one who could notice the change in Sirius for the past two months. Alice also noticed.
But then, what could Sirius be hiding from me except the news today?

NARRATOR'S POV
After breakfast, Lily, Arabella and Alice were walking to their first class, charms.
Arabella and Alice were in a fight on which is better, Herbology or Botany.
"I swear! Both of them are the same!" said Lily who was growing tired of their non- stop bickering.
Arabella glared at her and eyed her dangerously.
"No it's not! Herbology is for the magical world and Botany is for the muggle world!" exclaimed Arabella. "And besides, Herbology is a much more interesting subject than Botanius!" she added.
Alice looked shocked and ready to hurt her.
"Ah! How dare you! For your information, it's botany, not botanius! And Botany is certainly more fascinating subject than Herbology!" said Alice loudly.
Lily sighed and pushed the two inside their charms classroom, which was already half- filled.
"Come on guys! Enough, okay? Let's go find a seat!" said Lily and she walked towards a seat, with Arabella and Alice hot in her heels.
The three of them sat down and Lily began opening her book, while Arabella muttered to Alice something that sounded like "I'm not yet through with you".
As Lily began reading their lesson for today (the colorful charm), the marauders entered the room and everyone became quiet because of the unusual sight before them.
James was glaring at Sirius and Sirius seemed to be scowling at James. Something like this doesn't happen very often. Never did the King of Pranks and Master of the Ladies ever fight. This was so unreal.
The next move the two did was more frightening. James went to sit beside Lily and Sirius sat beside another girl.
"Sure! Go ahead and mock my girlfriend!" exclaimed Sirius as he sat beside a girl named Loren.
James gave him a smirk. That smirk only meant that James will be playing along with Sirius.
"Oh! Don't worry! I'll just bring her in a broom closet after class so I could snog her brains out!" said James, smirking at Sirius.
Lily turned red because of anger and embarrassment. This is what she'd like to call torture.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After class, both Sirius and James went separate ways and Lily had to go to the owlery to send a message to her parents.
She'd be willing to ask if them if she could stay in Hogwarts for Christmas. She didn't want to go home because of her sister.
Lily took a quill and a parchment and then began writing in the owlery.
Dear Mom and Dad,
Well, it's been fun in Hogwarts this year. Anyway, since Christmas if fast approaching, maybe I could stay in Hogwarts for this holiday. I mean, it would be fun to be in Christmas since I'm a prefect, then maybe I could help organize things for Christmas.
I hope you would allow me. Anyway, if you will, I'll just send your present by owl. I'm really missing you, well, maybe excluding Petunia. And I'm still the red headed flaming girl for you father. I love you both. Please reply as soon as you receive this, I'll be waiting tonight for it.
Love from,
Lilykins
Lily tied the letter to an owl and then let it fly. She watched it until she could not see it anymore, then she went down to continue her classes.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
By the end of the day, Lily, Alice, Arabella were by the lake, exchanging stories of their childhood.
"Oh yeah! I remember this one time, when I was six and Petunia was nine, I accidentally dropped my apple juice on her school uniform, and she didn't noticed. But, when she went to school, all her schoolmates began laughing their heads off and she came back crying and attempted to chuck my leg off!" said Lily and all of them began laughing.
It was almost sunset. The marauders have split for a while. Remus was hanging out with a few Ravenclaw friends, Peter was nowhere to be seen, James was trying to prank Snape, and Sirius was missing.
It was sure a very odd day. Lily wished it could end so Sirius and James would be partners- in – crime again.
It was already six o' clock and Lily still hasn't received the reply of her parents. She really wanted to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas.
Alice looked at her watch and she shrugged.
"Maybe it's better if we go back inside now. I still have to finish the Transfiguration essay due tomorrow." Said Alice.
All of them nodded and then went up the stairs. Then, Lily glanced at both of them.
"Guys, I need to go to the owlery to wait for something. I'll help you later with your essay." Said Lily then she ran up the marble staircase, with Arabella and Alice looking at her strangely.
When Lily reached the owlery, an owl flew straight to her and she looked confused. This was not the owl Lily sent to her parents.
She took the letter and began reading, dreading what was inside.
Dear Ms. Evans,
We are sorry to say that your parents have been murdered by the Dark Lord on the rise. But fortunately, you sister was out so she was saved.
It has been a terrible tragedy and we hope that their souls may rest in peace. We know you're a strong girl and can make it.
It is our duty to warn you that you are a sole target of the Dark Lord. Your headmaster has been informed. Please do take care.
From:
The Minister of Magic
Lily's eyes began swelling with tears. Her parents, dead? She? A sole target of Lord Voldemort?
Lily fell down and began crying. She felt terrible. She didn't even want to go home for Christmas! How heartless could she be?
Lily felt that it was her fault her parents were killed. Just because she became a witch! No, scratch that, a freak.
She needed comfort. Alice and Arabella wouldn't help that much. She needed someone special. She needed Sirius.
Lily stood up and ran towards the room of requirement. She knew that whenever he has a problem, that's where he goes.
I hate myself! If I hadn't been a witch, my parents could have been spared! They could have been spared!
As Lily reached the room of requirement, she opened the door to find a large room with scented candles and a bed in the middle.
There in the bed, she saw Sirius under the covers with a girl with blonde hair. It was Loren, the girl in their charms class.
Lily looked shocked. She dropped the paper she was holding and tears began flowing down more.
Sirius? Cheating on me? My parents? Dead? Me? A target of Voldemort?
It was all too much. Lily only knew one thing she could do. She walked towards Sirius and the girl.
"Look Lily! It's not what it looks like!" said Sirius as he tried to hide the girl.
Lily stood in front of him and she took the necklace Sirius has given her and threw it with all her strength.
Then, she ran out of them room, hopes of having someone comfort her all gone.
Loren looked at the paper Lily threw curiously and then she stood up from the bed, then went to read the paper. Her eyes grew wide as she read what was inside it.
Sirius noticed Loren gone and then looked around, only to see Loren reading something.
"What's that?" he asked.
Loren shook her head and then went back to the bed.
"It was nothing." Said Loren, smiling. She knew things that could ruin Lily Evan's reputation.
