"Do you ever think she's going to wake up?" A voice called out by Lily. She felt like she was in a dream except she could feel the pain. Lily opened her eyes and looked around. Rose was standing, arms crossed talking to some lady. Lily looked to the right of her and was surprised to see James sitting in a chair next to her dozing.

Lily tried to speak but couldn't, she tried again, "Where am I?"

Rose turned to Lily, "Oh you're alright! We were so worried for you Lily. Did you realize that you were attacked by a death eater?"

"I had a sort of an idea," Lily said sitting up from her spot on the bed.

"Are you alright?" James said who had woken up.

"Yea, I think so," Lily said, "But why was there a death eater around here?" That questioned had been on Lily's mind for awhile.

"Sorry dear, you'll have to blame me for that," the lady who had been talking to Rose spoke, "Oh by the way I'm Mrs. Potter, but I'd rather that you'd call me Emily. My husband and I had been involved with the Ministry, or as you might now we had been Aurors." Lily nodded following what she was saying, "I suspect that death eater was here as a spy, and unfortunately for you, you happened to get in the way of him. Do you realize you got four shots at him before you passed out?"

"Oh I thought I only got two," Lily said rubbing the front of her forehead which was throbbing.

"Here drink this," Mrs. Potter said handing Lily a purplish concoction in a glass. Lily chocked down the drink and she felt her body restore back to health. "It's ok to go back outside, nobody can come in or out since I put up a barrier around the yard, so you kids can go outside and don't worry much." Mrs. Potter took Lily's glass and left the room.

Lily didn't feel much like going anywhere now. The experience had scarred her and she only wanted to stay inside. "So," Rose said breaking the silence, "Could we borrow some shirts James? It's kind of cold now."

Lily had forgotten that she was stilling wearing her bathing suit top. James nodded, "Sure," and stood up and walked off to his room, Rose followed but Lily stayed where she was.

Almost a soon as they had walked out, Sirius walked in. "Hey your awake! Nobody tells me a thing around here," Sirius said taking the seat James was in, he had a large bowl of ice cream.

"Ya want some?" Sirius said holding the bowl out to Lily who took it and began eating it.

"Is it always this crazy around here?" Lily said taking a bite of Sirius' ice cream.

"Usually unless we're not here," Sirius replied leaning back in the chair. "So did you know that James saved you out there?"

"Yea I saw him," Lily said. "What was he doing over there anyways?"

"He was looking for you, being the love struck puppy he is, he thought he would go and find you. He couldn't possibly leave an opportunity like that, so then he found you on the ground and blasted the sucker out on that Death Eater. It's a shame that I wasn't there to see it."

"Oh," was the only thing Lily could think of as a reply. Then, "Why does he like me so much?"

Sirius shrugged his broad shoulders, "I've been trying to figure that out myself," then quickly, "not like you're a bad person or anything, but you tend to be crabby sometimes, not like that's bad or anything."

Lily laughed, "Thanks Sirius that made me feel better. Do you think he only likes me since he can't have me?"

"Evans, I don't think many people would take on a fully trained death eater if they didn't really love them." It struck Lily that Sirius was so right, and she was amazed that Sirius came up with this on his own.

"Hey Lily can I ask you a question now?" Sirius said.

"Sure."

"Can I have my ice cream back?"
