---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the previous chapter....

Where could he be? He has to be around here somewhere. I have to find him. Once you think about, Remus should, like, work for and advice columnist or something. Oh my goodness! There he is! I tell it's him from his hair from a mile away. I ran up to him. The one I love is...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"James!" I yelled with pure delight as I saw his face light up when he saw me. I run up to James and jumped in his arms.

"Hey Tiger-Lily! What ar......" James started, but I interrupted with a deep passionate kiss. Since we were on the Great Hall, a few hooting and whistling could be heard throughout the hall, and a few, "Go James" and "Get a room!".

We broke apart and he looked into my eyes.

"Wow, Lily! Nice to see you, too!" James said and with a geniune smile spread across his face.

I jumped out of his arms and straightened out my school uniform.

"So James! What have you been up too lately?" I asked as we made our way up to the common room holding hands.

"Nothing much my dear Lily. Hey, do you know what's up with Sirius? He hasn't been his old bubbly self lately." asked James looking down at his shoes as we walked hand-in-hand.

"Ummm...." I choked, "No....why are you asking me?"

"I dunno. you guys are becoming better friends everyday, and I was wondering if he said something, is all." stated James.

"Oh....well...let's get off that subject now. You know, Valentine's Day in coming up." I said nervously. But I was right. All the winter snow has melted and now there is buds of flowers turning up slowly all throughout the school grounds. Quite beautiful.

"Yep, and I have something great in mind," smirked James as he dipped me right outside the common-room portrait door, and placed a kiss on my lips.

"Well I've never! Now give me the password and you could do that inside, not in front of me," snarled the Fat-Lady. James and I broke apart and started to blush, while James was running his hand through his hair.

"Acid Pop," I said as me and James made our way into the common room. It was packed. There were fifth years studing at all the tables for their O.W.L.s and seventh years with deary looks on their faces while trying to study for thir N.E.W.Ts.

"Let's go," James whispered in my ear, and dragged me through the common room. We stopped at a tapestry with a woman and her child dancing, and James muttered something under his breath. I had no idea what was going on until James looked around, and lifted up the tapestry. Behind it was a little door. He opened the door waiting for me to go in.

"Come on, Lily," he said" Before anyone sees us," and with that I walked into a marvelous room.

I looked around the room stunned. Its was the biggest, most beautiful room I had seen. There were two oak wood tables with four chairs each in the center, as well as a giagantic couch that could easily fit ten people on it. There was also a giant fire burning in the fireplace. The room was lined with thousands and thousands of books.

"James, where are we?"

"It's called the Maurader's Marvelous Manner."

"You mean, this all belongs to you, Remus, Sirius, and Peter?"

"Yes, all of it, and I want you to be a part of it too." He said, "You also get to be an honorary maurader known as...well I don't really know, we'll just have to make something up."

"Tails." I said.

"What?''

"I want to be known as Tails."

"Whatever you want Lily dear." He said giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Where in the world did you get all of these books? There's so many." I said running my finger across a line of books on a shelf that was four times my height.

"Well we bought some, and some people also donated theirs to us that they didn't want anymore."

"It's amazing!"

"Take a look over here..." He said taking my hand and leading me up to a giant staircase.

We walked up the grand staircase, and when we got to the top, there was a gigantic window. It overlooked most of the Hogwarts grounds, including the Quidditch Pitch, Forbiden Forest, the lake, and that awful Whomping Willow tree."

"But it's all a secret, you have to promise you won't tell anyone about this, otherwise Dumbledore will take it away from us. Or put up a password we won't know."

"I promise I won't tell! What is the password anyway?"

"Lascilo dentro."

I gave him a blank stare.

"It means let me in, only in Italian."

"How...original?" We both laughed. We stood there looking out the giant glass window, when a thought crossed my mind.

"Hey James? If you don't want anyone to know about this place, then why is there a giant window?"

"It's enchanted, no one else can see it, me and Sirius put a spell on it so it would look like stone wall from the outside, just like the rest of the castle."

I looked down out of the window.

"Hey! What's that?"

"What's what?"

"That over there, that black dog, a rat, and what looks like Remus Lupin? James, what's going on?"

"Uh...sorry Lily I have to go." He said kissing me on the lips and descending down the stairs.

"Lily, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like." He said running out the door.

I looked out the window, and about two minutes later, I seen a stag running in the same direction as the rat, dog, and Remus were.

"What is going on? Why did James just leave like that? I have to find out!"

I ran out of the enchanted library and when I got to the entrance hall I stopped and transformed into my animagus form that no one knew about, a red fox. I had to know what was going on, I ran as fast as my little, red paws could take me, in the direction of the other animals.

It was when I was forteen when I decided to become and animagus. I found a book in the library that seemed to be left out or left behind. I glanced around, then took the book. I practiced in an unhabited, serene area behind treesnear the lake. The book had useful pointers left by others so I could understand is easier. they had a part of the book on which animal would help represent you the most, and turns out that a fox was my animagi form.I am a fiery red fox with the same green eyes, and soft fur. I just hope no one would reconizie me by my eyes, because I am unregistered, illegal as the Ministry of Magic might call it, but I need to be free once in a while.

As I made my way down the school halls and made for the door, I saw a familiar face heading toward my desination. He was a bit too familiar. Severus Snape. He was muttering to himself while looking at a piece of parchment. I wondered what it was, then decided to follow him.

We made our journey across the yard, then stopped at the foot of the Whomping Willow. He looked up, and chuckeld.

"Stupid Black, for leaving this parchment, stupid Pettigrew for always hanging around Potter and his cronies, stupid Potter for just being Potter, and Stupid Lupin, because I will soon find out their secret," he stated and with that, he used his wand and hit a small knot in the tree. Automatically, the Willow seemed as if it were frozen, then Snape made his way to a tiny door, and I followed, only a few steps behind him.

Before Snape could open the door, James, and Sirius ran out and pushed Snape onto the ground.

"What are you doing here Snape?" snarled James, out of breath. " Get out of here while you still can!"

" I found a parchment left behind from Black here, and I'm going nowhere," stated Snape.

"What's he talking about, Sirius?" yelled James, staring unmercilfully at his best friend.

"Do you know what you just gotten ourselves into Sirius? There is no time for games and pranks right now. I can't believe this Sirius, you could get us into a big heap of trouble, not to metion how Remus will react when he finds out!"

"That's the point James! Remus won't find out! It was all a prank! It was because of what Snape did to Lily! It's called payback, James! He would have deserved everything that was going to happen!"

"Yeah, Sirius?" spat James walking up to Sirius until their noses were touching," What if he died?"

Sirius suddenly got pale then backed away. It was so quiet until alll of a suden, a loud howl pierced the air. We all turne3d around and saw a full-grown were-wolf. Remus.

James spun around and faced Snape and me. He obvisously didn't know that I was there, so the comment was directed to Snape.

"Get out of here now! Before you get killed!"

Snape looked James square in the eye and said, "No."

"No? Did I hear correctly? There is a full-grown werewolf on the loose, and yet you oppose to leave? Get out before you die!" screamed James. Snape didn't budge.

"Oh that's it, Muoversi da Parte!" yelled James and the spell hit Snape, which caused him to suddenly move and floaat toward the entrance to the school.

''Good job, James, now let's...." started Sirius, but was suddenly interrupted by James, "No Sirius, let's go and try to contain Moony before he kills."

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and where James and Sirius were standing only seconds before, stood a full-grown stag and a black dog.

Oh my goodness! Their animagus's as well! So that's who left the books out! As the dog and the stag made their way to the werewolf, I decided make my presence known. I ran out of the bush I was hiding behind and ran in front of boys. they dtared at me with confused looks on their faces, then James suddenly knew it was me. He turned, looked at Sirius, then turned back into human form.

"Lily? Is that you?" James questioned as he made his way closer to me. I turned back into my usual form and said, " The one and only."

James's jaw dropped and then said, "I can't believe it. You're an animagus as well?"

"Yes, enough gibber-gabber hun, but we have to put Moony back in line before he gets into the school," I stated.

He then noticed the urgency in my voice and nodded. At the same moment, we both transformed into our animal forms and ran alongside Sirius, He looked at me with a dazed look on his muzzle, then looked att James. The stag nodded, then Sirius looked back at me. I winked at im then ran toward the Forbidden Forest, not knowing the consequences of what would happen that night.
