Author's Note : First of all, I know, my previous chapter sucked. And I do admit that it was only there to put some space between two chapters. Though it did have it's uses, which I still needed to enter somewhere, I just had to lighten up the chapter a little. Again, sorry for that miserable chapter. And now, the story must go on.

Explanations: Glowing eyes definition: Krista. Hope that was enough for everybody. Also, this fic is nearing it's end… Also, very short chapter, sorry for that…

Disclaimer: Everything J.K. invented is hers. Everything that I invented is mine. It's up to you to figure out which is which.

Previous Chapter

Remus stopped laughing suddenly. The air had turned cold.

"Rem?" Asked Sirius.

'Your turn is soon Black… so soon…'

In the Gryffindor Common room, A certain boy started coughing… and couldn't stop.

"James?" asked Lily, concerned.

He coughed some more into his hands

"Water… please" he asked in between coughs, they were blocking the air. He took a sip from the glass that Lily gave him which made him cough some more. Wiping the water that had spluttered from his mouth, he took the glass and handed it back to her.

Blood prints had stained it.

;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

James sat up and started walking towards his dorm.

"James wait! We should really get you to the hospital wing!"

He stumbled, pressing his hand on the bulletin board to stay stable.

"Argh!" He yelled, bringing his hand to his mouth. There had been a pin sticking out and it had pierced through his hand. The blood was spilling out abnormally. James just stayed there, watching the blood spill out of his hand. It was flowing, forming a puddle at his feet, staining the carpet and his shoes. His eyes seemed stuck on the puddle.

"HELP!" yelled Lily as he crumbled down. She hadn't had the time to yell twice that Brian was already entering the common room.

"I spelled a sensor on him, we need to get him out of here right now, the magic in his blood is trying to find a way out of his body." He explained to her as he brought James to the hospital wing on a stretcher. They hurried up without talking more.

"Sarah, get me my mediwand on my desk and Olivia, Go in the storage room and bring the box the box labelled 'Potter'. Kathy, go get Dumbledore." Ordered Brian as he flicked his wand towards one of the tables. He led James to it and magicked him on it. Sarah came back and handed him his mediwand. Apparently, James had also bruised his knee while falling down and the blood was spreading inside his body. Brian started saying an incantation and Sarah and Olivia joined in. They got activated on James as Lily was sent back up to the Gryffindor tower. It took about an hour but finally, the blood stopped spreading.

James opened his eyes, everything was unfocused, though he did have his glasses on, he knew it. He could feel them. Bringing his hand up to his forehead, he noticed the bandage around it. Just as he was about to ask what happened he got caught up in a fit of coughs. Each time he coughed, his rib cage would shake and hurt enormously. Trying to stop, he calmed himself, bringing his deep coughs to small ones.

"Mr. Potter, I take it that you have figured out that this isn't any normal coughing fit…" asked Dumbledore. The old man had previously entered the hospital wing accompanied by Kathy. James could see that the headmaster wasn't too happy about his condition. He knew that he hadn't taken care of himself lately, letting time pass by and trying to live as normally as he could, without thinking of his sickness. But everyday those thoughts plagued him. James nodded in agreement to Dumbledore's statement and coughed again, holding onto his stomach as the pain went through his body. He remembered feeling that pain before, it was when the first symptoms had appeared. It would hurt him when he coughed, laughed and breathed heavily. They were growing stronger.

"It's time that we talk Potter…" said Brian. The talk lasted the whole day. The talk was about his whole life…

So time passed, and from that day on, James got weaker and weaker. His once nicely browned skin was pale, almost completely white. He wore a sulky look on his face wherever he went and his eyes were much darker than usual. James hadn't had the strength to walk long distances, getting to his classes was already hard enough as it is. Of course, Sirius was there to help him, and Peter, though he did not do much, more likely watching than actually giving him a hand. Lily was there too, but, for some odd reason, wasn't too close to him.

Brian and the three assistant medi-witches could be found everywhere in case James would need them. He trusted them and knew that they would do their job well, but seeing them around him everyday only reminded him that he couldn't take care of himself anymore.

Halloween passed, James having to stay in his dorm while everybody participated in the festivities. November came, with all of the snow and such. And James just had to go into the forest. He had too.

"Krista…?" he coughed, closing his eyes. You could hear a distant giggle, then a gasp.

"James? You came!" she slid down from her place over the frozen pond. It was so cold that you could see the ice smoke. James glared at his sister.

"I got rid of Remus last Krista… and now I have to get rid of Sirius… Are you ure that it's the best idea?"

"Yes! It is James! Do you really want to hurt their feelings when you'll leave them behind? I am sure they don't even mind!"

"Krista! They ARE my friends! I've never wanted to let go of Remus. Now he won't even try to speak to me! Actually, he doesn't speak to anyone anymore! And I have no idea why! I was worried as hell about him and I had to turn him away!" Krista smiled as her brother coughed.

You will soon be with me brother…

"I have to go now… I'll try to be back soon Krista…" she simply waved to him as he walked back towards the castle.

Only two more to go and you won't know anything anymore, you won't know anyone except me… she said, laying down on the iced pond.

Just as he walked out of the clearing, Sirius, who was with Remus and Maria, started running towards him.

"Are you okay James? Do you want me to do anything?" he asked, eating some of the maple fudge that ha loved so.

His friend mumbled something incomprehensible.

"What?"

"I don't want you. To treat me. Like… a child. So go… AWAY!!!" he yelled, pushing him away. Sirius was dumbfounded… Why was he acting like that? Maria walked up to him, asking what happened.

I don't want to leave you without telling you, so I'm just leaving you now…

He stomped through the grounds, walking nowhere in particular. He was so angry with himself. He hated having to leave his friends like that but if he would explain, they probably wouldn't let him do it. They would tell him he was absurd and he would end up bawling on their shoulders, which of course, he did not want to happen. The snow was falling lightly, covering everything living and not in white. One thing about the snow and winter was that it seemed to make your breathing easier. The air then seems fresh and rid of all it's uncleanness. He passed beside Remus, his eyes locking with his. The werewolf lowered his and James stopped, eyes still stuck onto the sandy-haired boy. Remus lifted his gaze to make it plunge into James' again. And he understood, And he smiled sadly. James could barely believe it. Remus didn't have anything against him! No grudges, nothing. Finally, he simply ripped the look apart and walked away in the opposite direction, head down.

They both knew that they would leave it there. Remus would never pardon James completely. His 6th year had been scarred and it was one that would never go away, no matter how strong the link between him and James could become.

Classes were over due to vacations. December was very frantic for everybody. And James was less close than he ever was to all of his friends. He would have to pay the hospital wing a visit every week due to his bad health. Potions had to be taken everyday to help him get on with his life. He grew tired over the days. The only person left that was still close to him was Lily, Sirius would have to be taken care of.

"James, tell me what I did wrong?" he asked for about the millionth time that month. James just sighed and continued walking, ignoring him.

"James! I'm speaking to you! You can't ignore me forever!" Sighing, he just went on. As soon as he got in the Gryffindor common room, he sat on one of the overstuffed armchair in front of the fireplace. Lily saw him and went to sit beside him.

"Hey James!"

"Leave me alone."

She opened her mouth to say something but refrained from doing so. She couldn't hide from her face that the way James acted with her hurt her awfully. Throughout the previous years, if he would've told her to leave him alone she would've laughed and tell him to bugger off somewhere else, that he was the one taking up her personal space. But that was before she had learned about his sickness, before she had learned to let him be, before he had learned that she loved him. And she knew that there was much more to learnt about him. And not very much time left to do so. She got up, walking away from the couch.

This is it… she thought, I can't let this go on anymore… Tomorrow… Tomorrow I'll tell him.

She went to see Maria and Valerie, who were both studying. Exams weren't for another month really, but they were just both behind their work lately.

"Girls, I really think that we should take this night off and go somewhere…"

Maria looked up from her book and smiled. It was decided, and Lily just had to take her mind off the obvious. Tonight, they were going out.

That same night, James had been looking for Lily. He really wanted to say that he was sorry. Wanted to explain that he wanted Lily to love him, to be there for him, but that soon he wouldn't be able to do those things. He wasn't supposed to be out after curfew, he knew, but he had to tell her. He heard a sound from around the corner of the hallway. He couldn't get caught, he couldn't handle another detention. He walked slowly, heart thumping.

Come on James, you're a marauder, you should find this easy!

But, he didn't have his cloak with him. His hand plunged into his pocket for the map. It wasn't there.

Dang!

Trying to move without making any noise, he glided down the corridor. Lily wasn't anywhere in sight. Suddenly, the person lurking in the darkness jumped out and pinned him to the wall.

"You have nowhere to go now Prongs! You're going to have to answer me!"

Oh… no…

James had recognised the voice instantly. And he couldn't ignore it any longer.

"Why are you ignoring me? What have I done?"

Sirius let his grip loosen a bit, remembering that James wasn't that strong, and then, something clicked.

"Look at me James.."

He lifted his head and looked at Sirius, not speaking, Everything Brian told him passing through his mind.

"Oh… Oh god… James… No…"

AND NOW' THIS IS THE END OF THIS CHAPTER!

HEY guys! I know, very short chapter, hoping that it's better than the last one, at least, the other one sucked, I know. Story reaching it's end, a bit fast, again, I've noticed, I just don't think that this fic is worth being written anymore since I think it profoundly needs extreme revision and that is something I can not do.
