Author's note : Ok… Most of you will hate me now… Or just plainly ignore my work from now on because I will have disappointed you all. In advance, I am saying sorry because I starting writing this in a time which I prefer forgetting, and this story just doesn't fit with me at all anymore.

Hello everyone, I know that by reading this you are wondering why I am not starting my chapter the usual way, well I have to announce something. Those of you who have been reading for a while, may not want to read this, may simply want to never come look at this fic again because this chapter is going to be a very big resumé of what's left. I simply can't stand to continue writing this when I lost my inspiration for this such a long time ago. For those who just may be curious and just want to know the ending, or how this turns out, well you'll find out here.

I do hope that you will not judge me by how I updated and wrote this because I was a completely different person when I had started '9 Months' and I went through many things and changed… a lot. I will post up new fics, but '9 Months' is simply a thing of the past, which I would rather forget. So for those who simply may want to know the rest, here it is…

Sirius figures out that James is dying. He doesn't want to listen to James trying to explain to him that there is no other choice than to bring everyone against him. He tries to tell him that it's no use doing so but James has a hard head and follows strongly his idea, or rather, his sister's. Meanwhile, Lily and James' relationship is holding by a thread. One moment they are in each other's arms and the next, James is pushing her away and doesn't even speak to her. He gets some information about researches who are currently working on finding a cure. He goes to see his sister more and more but his condition keeps aggravating. For about two weeks, he is alone. The only people he would actually speak to were Dr Brian, Dumbledore and the nurses once in a while. He wanted to die in peace, but it seemed like hell to him. He just did not want any of his friends, especially Lily to be sad and mourn him when he left this world. He didn't think that he deserved so much. Still no news from the cure researchers.

Then, James suddenly starts to cough, too much. He can hardly breath and the coughing just makes it worse. He coughs up blood all the time. The magic is trying to exit his body, it's trying to run out of him. His blood, being magical, is the only way out. James is confined to his hospital bed. 2 days later, he receives news from the researchers. They found a cure, or at least something that will make him live longer. James doesn't want to suffer some more and decides to not take it. He sleeps most of the time and can't eat. He drinks various liquids to stay nourished. His voice is hoarse and he is bruised everywhere.

The night came and James decided to send for his friends. If they would want to come that is. Dr Brian did not argue and went to get Sirius, Remus and Peter. James sighed in relief when he saw Sirius and Peter cross the hospital wing doors. He wanted to apologise for what he did to them. He realised that it really wasn't the best thing to do and wasn't angry at Remus for not coming. He could understand that the werewolf would not want to accept his apology. Then, The doors creek open and there he is. And James starts to cry. He doesn't want to leave his friends… there was always the cure but… he would have to ask them the impossible…

James looks out the window. It's raining outside, pouring heavily over the castle grounds and someone is out there. Someone is alone outside, under the rain with no cloak and completely drenched. Lily is crying. She knows that James is going away. She knows that he doesn't want to take whatever cure the researchers found because they are not even sure if it's going to work. James would've been the first one to try it. Suddenly, she gets up, and runs towards the castle doors. Someone is waiting for her behind those doors. She has no idea who it is but what she does know is that she can't reach them. Krista is holding her back.

"James is not going to take that cure Evans! He can't! I will be useless then!"

"Leave me alone!" Lily runs away and finally enters the castle, not really comprehending what Krista just told her. Sirius is there, behind the doors. He is pale and shaking. Tears stained his face and he took Lily's hand. Shock overcomes her. Is he dead? Did James already die? It can't be! It can't be happening… No…

"James wants to see you Lily…" he tells her. Lily's eyes widen. He's not gone! Inhaling sharply, she starts to run with Sirius at her heels and then, upon reaching the hospital wing, opens the doors and walks in, regaining her breath. She goes to his side and notices that Sirius stayed outside with Remus and Peter, who both were also crying silently. She turns around and looks at James.

"What's… Why did you want to see me?"

"I am going to take the cure Lily…" A smile broke upon her face.

"Really?" And then realisation dawned on her, If he was going to take the cure, then why were the other marauders so sad…

"I only ask one thing of you Lily… I…" She looked at him, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"I love you so much Lily… and I want you to… I wish there were more time!" He tells her angrily.

"James…"

"Goodbye Lily…"

"But you said that you were going to take your cure!"

"Yes! I know… But… I hate saying this, I hate that I have to tell you this, to make you do this, and make my friends do that also… along with my family… But… I need you to forget me, to forget everything that we could've had together because I don't want to break your heart. I have no idea how I'll be…"

"What are you talking about? Aren't you going to live! This isn't going to change anything James! I will love you no matter what!"

"The cure… has a few conditions that come with it… I'll… lose my memory, only the part that is filled with memories and souvenirs and events. Nothing that I learned will be erased, but I… I am surely not going to recognise you… nor Sirius or Remus or my parents… You will have to act as though you don't know me or try to be friends with me all over again but it will be like starting from zero except that I'll probably never remember anything about what we had, when I hated you and when everything changed… I'll forget my own best friends… Just… Please remember Lily… For both of us… I love you so much…"

And with the tears streaking down both of their faces, James swallowed the cure that had been brought by Brian and that had been residing behind him ever since he heard about it. He let out a yell of pain and fainted, slipping into a temporary coma.

Time, sometimes the time just slips away
And your left with yesterday
Left with the memories
I, I'll always think of you and smile
And be happy for the time
I had you with me
Though we go our seperate ways
I won't forget so don't forget
the memories we made

Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
and you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
while we were wild and free
Please remember, please remember me

Goodbye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's sad to walk away
with just the memories
Who's to know what might have been
We'll leave behind a life and time
I'll never know again

A whole week had passed and Lily had spent most of it with Sirius and Remus, Peter had gone unnoticed. She had been listening to stories concerning James, events and things that had happened to him. She wanted to know the most she could about him, even though… even though, she had hope. She hoped that he would wake up and everything would be fine. The researchers had said that Memory loss was ONE of the side effects that could happen, but it had never been tested. It had been proven though, that if it would not delete the disease completely, it would at least subside it for years and years to come. Everyday, she would go with Sirius and Remus to the hospital wing and stay there for a few hours, telling him what she had learned about him today, wishing that he could've told her all of this himself. Then, on a Saturday afternoon, James woke.

Brian laughed happily, James was alive! Sirius and Remus were so happy that they hadn't noticed anything weird going on. They had forgotten what James had told them. Everyone was simply so happy to see that James had revived and gained colours and seemed as healthy as before that they didn't notice Lily quietly sitting next to him and looking at him. He turned around and faced her. Big, bright, brown eyes, staring straight into hers. For a moment, there was a glimpse of hope that sprang into her mind. But his eyes remained the same, unfocused, searching.

"James…"

"Who are you?"

And each time she saw him in the great hall,with his friends, Lily though...what if there hadn't been nine months left... What if... just like now, there was a lifetime... What if...

So this is about it, And now I really resumed this the most I could…

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER SUPPORTED THIS FIC AND APOLOGISE TO THEM FOR LETTING THEM DOWN

I am quite ashamed of doing this but it had to be done…

What I won't accept are flames… Even if I did abandon this story, flames are so repulsing and those who actually take time and pleasure to do so are wasting some time they had to read something better. So please, save your fiery breath for your candles or something.
