Lily ran through the halls, avoiding people. She ran up and down various stairs. She had been running for nearly ten minutes when she ran to a door and went through it. Then she ran up the steps that she came to as she entered the room. She realized that she was in a tower. When she reached the top of the stairs and entered the room, she recognized it as the tower she and Sirius had been in Christmas last year when he professed his feelings to her.

She took off the cloak and set it on a seat. She looked out the window to see the most beautiful sight she had ever seen. Lily's eyes were losing their focus. She had been weak from using her powers and then she had run for ten minutes. Lily closed her eyes and fainted, falling to the ground.

Though it was noticed they weren't in class, nobody found Remus till after all the classes were over. As soon as their last class was over, James, Sirius, and Rini had gone straight to the Common Room. Rini entered first and saw Remus on the floor. "Remus!" she cried as she ran over and started shaking him. "Remus wake up! What's wrong with him?"

"Rini, stop panicking!" Sirius said. "Come on. We've got to get him to Madam Pomfrey."

So James and Sirius picked Remus up and started to carry him when Rini said, "Mobilus Corpus." They looked at her. "See? I'm not panicking." So they got Remus to the hospital wing.

"What on earth happened to him?" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed

"We don't know," Sirius said. "We found him in the Common Room like this."

Madam Pomfrey started looking for some sign as to what had done this. She saw a whole in Remus's robes in the stomach. "Oh no," she whispered. Then she looked at the three and asked, "Where's Miss Evans?"

"Lily?" Rini asked. "We don't know. We haven't seen either of them since lunch. You don't think she did this, do you?"

"I'm afraid she did," Madam Pomfrey said solemnly. "Look here," and she held out the robes for them to see. They gasped at the whole in the robes. "I need you to look for her. She was probably panicked after she did this, so you must look everywhere for her. Not only that, she is very weak. She might even be unconscious somewhere."

The three nodded and went off. "I'm going to check to see if my cloak's missing," James said. Sirius and Rini said okay and split up to start searching for Lily.

It was nearly seven. Sirius had come to the tower where Lily had kissed him in their first year. Thinking she might have somehow wandered here, her opened the door and went up the stairs. Reaching the top, he saw Lily lying in the middle on the floor. He ran over to her, started shaking her and calling her name.

"Lily! Lily!" Lily heard someone calling her name. It sounded so far away. Then she realized that someone was shaking her. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Her vision was still blurry. In front of her was a guy with dark hair. James immediately jumped into her head.

She grabbed Sirius into a hug and kissed him. "I'm so sorry!" she said. "I never meant to hurt you or Remus!" She kissed him again and it was returned. "I'm sorry, James. I love you so much!"

Sirius loosened his grip on her. "Lily, I'm not James. I'm Sirius."

"No, you can't be!" Lily exclaimed. Slowly her vision became to focus and she saw Sirius's dark eyes. "Oh, Sirius! I'm so sorry! I'm such a terrible person! Leave me here and let me die! Just leave me!" she cried. Lily turned away and curled into a ball on the floor.

Sirius walked over and picked up the invisibility cloak. Then he went and picked Lily up. "No!" she whimpered. "Just leave me be to die in peace."

"I won't leave you to die, Lily," Sirius said with determination as he left the tower. Lily closed her eyes as silent tears ran down her cheeks. As Sirius was walking to the hospital wing, Lily went completely limp and became a dead weight in his arms.

When he reached the hospital wing, James and Rini had already returned. To his surprise, Professor Cauldro was also there. "Thank the Gods that you found her!" the professor exclaimed when she saw them. She took Lily from Sirius's arms and laid her on a bed away from Remus.

Sirius motioned for James to come out into the hall with him. When they got to the hall, Sirius turned around and said, "It's more serious than you think."

"Where'd you find Lily and how could it be more serious than Lily being driven to use her powers on Remus?" James demanded.

"I found her in the south tower. James, when I woke her up, I couldn't believe what she said to me."

"Why'd you have to wake her up?" James asked concerned. "And what did she say?"

"Well, when I found her she was out cold. So I woke her. Something must have been wrong with her vision. She hugged kissed me and said she was sorry; that she never meant to hurt you or Remus. Then she said that she loved you. When I told her that I wasn't you she became even more distraught. She said she was a terrible person and told me to just leave her there to die."

James turned around and punched the wall. "This is all my fault!" he yelled.

"James, how is it your fault?"

"Because I can tell you now that they were having an argument about Lily and me."

"You don't know that for sure. Now lets go have Madam Pomfrey fix your hand."

James looked down at his hand and saw it bleeding. He nodded and went into the room to have Madam Pomfrey work her medical magic.

Sirius told Professor Cauldro what he had told James in more detail. James sat down beside Lily's bed and grasped her hand. Madam Pomfrey tried to shoo them from the wing but Professor Cauldro insisted that if they wanted to stay they could stay. She conjured up a plate of sandwiches and a flagon of pumpkin juice and three cups for James, Rini, and Sirius. Sirius and Rini ate while James sat beside Lily, holding her hand.

"James, buddy, you've got to eat something," Sirius told him around eight.

"I'm fine!" James would answer whenever someone would tell him to eat. At around ten that night, Sirius and Rini left the hospital wing.

Lily woke up in the hospital wing at around two in the morning. She looked to her right and saw James asleep, holding her hand. "James," she whispered. "I'm so sorry."

James stirred. He lifted his head and saw Lily looking at him, crying. "Lily! You're awake!" James sat on Lily's bed beside her.

"I'm sorry, James. I never meant to hurt anyone. Least of all you or Remus."

James wiped away her tears. "Lily, what happened?"

"We had a fight. I was sitting in front of the fire, singing the song you and I had danced to. He heard me, James, and started throwing accusations at me. I was hurt and angry that he wouldn't believe me. So I yelled that I loved you and asked if that was what he wanted to hear. That I love you and you love me. Then," Lily's voice cracked. "I don't know what happened next. All I know is I put my hand to make sure he stayed away from me and I felt a great lose of energy. When I looked up, he was across the room, unconscious. I was terrified and hurt and...and...and just so confused! I ran up to your dorm and grabbed your cloak. I ran out of the Common Room and then ran for a while till I wound up in the south tower. I felt so weak, James."

James gathered Lily into a hug as she cried. "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. I love you, Lily. I won't let you give up on life. I love you too much."

Lily looked up into James's face. "I love you, too, James." She snuggled her head into James's chest and held onto him tighter.

"Lily, you should go back to sleep." Lily nodded. James let her lay back and then kissed her forehead.

He started to slide off the bed when Lily grabbed his wrist and said, "No! Stay, please. At least until I fall asleep."

James made sure Lily was tucked in then lay on top on the blankets beside her. "Now go to sleep, Lily. You need the rest." Lily nodded.

They had been laying like that for a few minutes when James heard Lily say quietly, "I'm sorry, James. I'm sorry for all the hell I put you and he through."

By her steady breaths, James could tell Lily was asleep. He slowly got up and sat in the chair beside her bed. He grasped her hand again and went back to sleep.

When James woke up, he saw Lily sitting beside Remus's bed. She heard James stir and looked over at him. Then she walked over to him. James stood up. Lily put her palms over James's temples and whispered in his ear, "Forget about your love for me. Forget all the pain my being with Remus has caused you." Lily looked into James's face. His eyes were closed as Lily's magic was working.

Lily removed her hand and James opened his eyes. "Lily, are you okay?"

Lily laughed. It had worked. "I'm fine, James, just fine. It's Remus we should be worrying about."

James nodded. "Yeah. I just hope your little outburst of energy didn't hurt him too much."

"Do you know or remember why I did have an outburst?"

"I think you and Remus were fighting over something really stupid and he said things that really hurt. At least, that's what I can figure out."

Lily smiled inwardly. 'At least he doesn't remember,' she thought. 'Over time, though, he'll love me again. At least Remus and I can have a relationship without interference from our best friend for a while.' "Yes," she said aloud. "He accused me off something and I got really upset. I have trouble actually believing what he accused me of." 'I'm going to have to think of an argument to explain this because I've got to erase Remus's memory yet.'

"What did he accuse you of?"

"What?" Lily asked being drawn out of her thoughts.

"I asked what did he accuse you of?"

"Oh! Um," Lily started panicking. "He, uh, accused me of, um, liking someone. I got upset that he would even make such an accusation." Lily forced a laugh.

"Oh. Well, I should probably get to class, or at least to breakfast. See you later, Lily." James left to go back to his dorm and get ready for classes.

After he had left, Lily sank down into the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. "Now to make Remus forget." Lily walked over to Remus's bed again. Just as she had done with James, she placed her palms over his temples, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Forget about James and my love for each other. Forget all the pain I put you through." Lily kept her hands on Remus's temples as his memory was modified. Then Lily removed her hands and kissed his forehead. After making sure Remus was safely tucked into his hospital bed, Lily went back to her bed and fell back asleep.

When Lily woke up two days later, the first thing she saw was a pair of soft gray eyes. "Remus," she said softly.

Remus's eyes immediately had a twinkle in them. "Thank heavens you're awake! According to Madam Pomfrey you've been asleep for nearly two and a half days."

"Two days, more like then. I woke up the first morning and used more of my powers. Unfortunately, I must have been more drained than I thought. When did you regain consciousness?"

Remus's expression changed. "Yesterday. Did you really use your powers on me like they say?"

Lily felt fresh tears start to burn in her eyes. She turned away from Remus to regain her composure. Feeling that she had it, she looked back at him and whispered, "Yes."

Remus nodded. "Why, tough? I remember you in the Common Room singing, but I can't remember what song. Then you and I started fighting, but I can't remember what that was about either. Then you fell to the floor crying and I went to comfort you and you put up a hand to stop me. It tapped my stomach and the rest is nonexistent."

"It's better that way," Lily murmured. "Please, just drop it. You shouldn't have to remember. It's bad enough you remember my physically hurting you."

"Well, at least one good thing came out of it." Lily rolled her eyes as if saying 'Yeah, right'. "No, seriously, Lily. Not last night, but the night before was the full moon. I was still unconscious and didn't even feel myself changing."

Lily laughed. "Okay, so maybe something good came out of it after all."

When Lily saw Sirius and Rini next, she told them how she had modified James and Remus's memories. Though a bit surprised, they understood and acted as if the whole ordeal didn't even happen. When Lily told Professor Cauldro what had happened, she scolded Lily for using her powers to make people forget their memories and feelings. Lily accepted the scolding and was truly sorry that she felt she had had to use them. Them Professor Cauldro congratulated Lily for being able to control her powers.

Remus didn't linger on the subject of what the fight was about because Lily pretended not to here him if he mentioned it. Sirius and Rini wouldn't say anything about it either. James told Remus what Lily had told him in the hospital wing. Remus wondered whom he had accused her of liking, but did as Lily asked and let it go.

Remus and Lily slowly got their relationship back. Lily was a bit distant from everyone at first and became engrossed in her studies, but she began to let people know what she was thinking and feeling. Soon, the final exams were over and it was time to pack up their things for the ride home.

Rini and Lily were in their dorm packing when Rini asked, "Lily, will Remus and James get their memories back?"

Lily looked up from her packing. "Not as far as I know. Why?"

"Well, it's just that James truly loved you and it's hard to forget someone you love. How will him not remembering this years events help anyone?"

Lily sighed and answered, "It helps me by letting Remus and I have a relationship again. As for James, he will grow a new love for me. One that won't be obsessive since Remus and I are together. It also leaves him free to date who ever he wants to date. I will not be the reason he is in pain."

"What about you? Aren't you in pain?"

"Whether I am or am not in pain doesn't matter. It is a burden I have to carry along with these retched powers I have." Lily looked at her hand as she said this.

"But you don't have to bare it alone, Lily. You have friends to help you through it."

"The only ones I can talk to about it is you and Sirius. Not even Sirius really considering he also has a major crush on me."

"So I'm the only one left for you to talk to? You seriously have no one else?"

"Well, I suppose I could talk to Synthia," Lily said thoughtfully.

Rini looked at Lily weird. "Who?"

"Synthia," Lily stated. She realized why Rini didn't recognize the name. "Sorry, I mean Professor Cauldro. I could probably talk to her."

"Are you insane! Talking to a Hogwarts' teach about personal problems!"

Lily gave Rini an amused look. "Well, who do you think I've been getting lessons from every other night. Those private lessons are from Synthia and it's her who helps me with my Atlantean powers. She's just like me, you know. With special powers, I mean. She's got control over hers, though. That's what she's been teaching me. Considering she's thirty-eight and I'm only twelve, we get along really well."

Rini was still giving Lily a weird look. "Wasn't it only last year that her just looking at you gave you the heebie-jeebies?"

"Yes," Lily said thoughtfully, "but that was last year. Her eyes are actually quite lovely, now."

Rini gave up saying, "If you say so," and went back to packing.

Lily smiled at Rini and then went downstairs to find Remus. Not seeing him in the Common Room, she went up to the boys' dorm and knocked. She heard a muffled "Come in!" and entered.

Sirius saw who it was and said, "Hey, no girls allowed!"

Lily laughed and walked over to him. "Awe, Sirius! Can't a girl just come and say hello to her best friends?" she asked innocently.

"Yeah, I bet that's what you're doing!" Lily hit him in the stomach and then walked over towards Remus's trunk.

"Hello, Little Flower," he said cheerily.

"Hello, Moony," Lily said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. When they broke apart she said, "I'm sorry."

Very confused, Remus asked, "For what?"

"For being such a pain this year, and so distant."

"It's okay, Little Flower. You've had a very hectic year. With all the new powers and everything, I mean."

"Synthia said it would help to balance my emotions if I apologized and she was right. I do feel more balanced."

"Who's Synthia?" James asked.

Lily looked over her shoulder and said, "Professor Cauldro, nosey."

Remus looked at his watch. "Well, it's seven-thirty. We should finish packing and then head for breakfast. You finished yet?" he asked, looking at Lily.

"Mm hmmm. Are you finished?" Remus smiled and shook his head in response. Lily kissed him quickly and said, "Then finish." She removed herself from Remus's grasp and left.

Remus stared at the door Lily had just exited as the boys in the dorm laughed. "What?" he asked indignantly.

"Remus, buddy, she's got you under her thumb," Arthur said in exasperation.

"She does not!" he said as her threw his pillow at him.

Lily walked into the girls' dorm and said, "Hey, Teresa, Jordyn! You might want to go make sure that Arthur and Sirius are finished packing. If they aren't you can tease them." Lily then told the girls what she had done. Teresa went first to the boys' dorm and then, a few minutes after she came back, Jordyn went. Sara also went over to do the same to James but she only kissed him on the cheek. Each boy who was kissed was told that they were under the girl's thumb.

After breakfast they headed to the horseless carriages that would take them to Hogsmeade. Then Rini, Lily, James, Remus, and Sirius got into a compartment in the back of the train.

A few minutes after they had been there the door opened and there stood a rather round boy with beady, watery black eyes. "Peter!" James exclaimed. "Good to see you again! Come on in and tell us about your year."

Lily once again moved as far away from Peter as she could. She looked up at Remus and whispered, "Why does he always have to sit with us? We barely ever see him and he's, well, disgusting!"

Remus laughed. "He's James's friend, Lily," he whispered back. "Everyone knows that James has a magnetic personality. He also chooses his friends carefully. Sirius and I were his first friends and we've been with him through practically everything. His mother died when he was eight and he depended on us to help him through it. Now his father is a workaholic. That's why he's almost always at Sirius's house during the summer."

"The poor dear!" Lily whispered as she looked at James with new found respect. No wonder he was always careful about what he said when it came to his family.

"Yeah. Desiree Potter was killed in an attack. You see, she was an Auror. Her group had gone to stop some bad wizards but was killed."

Lily thought about what Professor Cauldro had said. There is one who would try to kill you because you are muggle born.... Now he is called Voldemort.... All you need to know about him is that he is a terrible man, if you could still call him that. 'Could this Voldemort character be the reason James has no mother?' she thought. "I wonder..." she said out loud.

"You wonder what, Lily?" Rini asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. I was just thinking out loud."

Lily rested her head on Remus's shoulder. "Wait a minute!" she exclaimed. Everyone looked at her. "James, can I talk to you?" James was puzzled but nodded his head as Lily dragged him to an empty compartment.

"James, Remus just told me that your mother died about four years ago. How can that be true if you told me in the beginning of the year when you got Myrddin that your mother loved the name and was surprised you had another girl as a friend besides Rini?" she demanded.

"Oh," James said as he bent his head. "Well, she comes to me in dreams, to see how I'm doing and all. I haven't seen her in my dreams since the summer before our first year at Hogwarts. She came to me in a dream the night or the next after I got Myrddin. She's been coming to me more often than usual not, though."

"Oh, I see. That's why Sirius and Remus didn't find it strange when you said about your mother." James nodded. "Well, we better be getting back before Sirius gets any crazy ideas." James laughed as he followed her back to the compartment.

As soon as she got back, Lily rested her head on Remus's shoulder again and before she knew it, she was asleep. When she woke up, the only person in the room was Rini. "Come on and get changed, sleepy head!"

"I wonder why I always fall asleep on these train rides?" Lily said as she began to change.

"Don't know. The good news is that Snape, Malfoy, and them haven't bothered us yet. I think you scared them, Lily!" Rini said with a laugh.

Rini and Lily finished changing and the boys came back in. Vega came with them. So while the boys were talking, Lily, Rini, and Vega started talking about their plans for the summer.

"Well, Mum owled me with Emrys a few days ago telling me that we were going to America in a week," Lily said. "They want me to get some rest before I leave home again. That's why it's a week from now."

"Why are you going to America?" Vega asked.

"Well, Mum has a cousin who moved there with her husband who's an American. When Cousin Teresa was a little girl she spent her summers in Spain. When she came for visits she would teach me Spanish. To me, she was always Prima Teresita. To her, I was always Prima Lirio. Lirio is Spanish for Lily. I have such fond memories of her. Can't wait to see her again."

Rini smiled. "Sounds like you and she were really close."

"We were. Still are, actually. We write each other all the time. I send my letters to Mum to send out and she sends me her letters."

"That's really cool. So I take it no one outside of your mum, dad, and sister know about your magical abilities," Vega stated.

"That's right. Mum just finds it safer that way, considering how Petunia acts. I'm thinking about telling Prima Teresita this summer though. So what about you two?"

"Well," said Rini, "since you're going to America I guess I'll spend most of my time at Sirius and James's houses. Actually, since James will be over at Sirius's, I'll probably just spend my time there with them and you, Vega."

Vega smiled. "That'd be great!" They arrived at the train station shortly after. Everyone hugged, and in Remus and Lily's case, kissed good-bye.

Lily put her forehead on Remus's and whispered, "I won't be able to see you all summer. I'll be in America. I promise to owl you everyday, though."

"You better!" Remus said with a laugh. They kissed once more and Lily went with her parents.

"Bye, everyone!" she called. "Don't worry, I'll write everyday!" She blew Remus a kiss and waved to everyone.

Remus 'caught' the kiss and then waved with everyone else.


Thus ends year 2 of my story. I hope you all are anjoying it. Give me lots of replies if you are and even if you aren't I'd still like to hear from you.

Now I know you probably don't like that I have Lily and Remus together at the end of this year, but trust me they won't be together throughout this endtire story. This is just the way my mind had this story start out. Don't worry. Lily and James will get together in due and proper time.

Peace y'all! Amoura
