The next morning, everyone was so busy trying to figure out what in the world happened to their French friends, that no one really noticed that James and Lily were on speaking terms again.

Breakfast that day was interupted when Sirius had come in with a very loud, very giggly Jessica on his arms.

"I honestly don't know what he sees in her." Lily said to James.

"I've known Sirius quite a while, and I must say, I've never really figured out what he saw in any of his girlfriends. And hes had his share of girlfriends." James chuckled.

"That girl's an absolute nightmare...literally. She'd often wake the whole room up in the middle of the night with her snoring. She NEVER stops talking about 'Sirius this' 'sirius that' but she hardly knows him. She didn't fall for Sirius, she fell for his popularity."

"You're probably right. The only girl who seemed to accept Sirius for himself was Kate."

"Thats right...its a shame they broke up."

James paused for a moment, thought deeply, and said. "Let's set them back up."

"Set Sirius and Kate back up? How do you plan to do that?" Lily thought this idea was absurd.

"I don't know. We'll think of something I'm sure."

"May I have your attention please?" Dumbledore has gotten up to make a speech.

"As you all may have noticed, our visitors from Beauxbatons has left. I'm sure you're all wondering why they have, and the answer is that there has been an emergency back home, but it's nothing that any of you would need to worry about."

Dumbledore was just starting to sit back down when a flock of owls rushed into the Great Hall. One particular Barn Owl dropped a small green parcel in front of James Potter.

"What is it?" Sirius asked as he sat down next to James.

James did not answer, or even acknowledge that Sirius was next to him. Instead, he took one look at it and ran off.

"Mate! Where you going?" Sirius shouted.

Lily said "I left my book upstairs, I need to go get it. I'll meet you all in Charms."

She left the Great Hall, but instead of heading towards Gryffindor tower, she followed James.

Lily found herself walking down the corridor towards the library, which was empty except for the librarian at this hour. James walked to a dusty end of the library, lifted up a tapestry, and opened the door that hid behind it with a spell. Lilyusedthe new invisibility spell she had learned, andfollowed him in, finding herself in a strange room. It was an exact copy of the rest of the library, like she had just re-entered it. Except all the books were different.

Lily watched James look around at the shelves, taking books and tapping it twice with his wand, saying "ottenga nell'ordine."

Lily walked over to the table where James had placed the parcel, and saw that it was addressed to "Master JP". She wondered why the package hadn't simply said James Potter, and why anyone would call him "Master". Not only was that strange, but the wrapping was strange also. It was a normal green color, but the address was written over what looked like a phoenix. But before Lily could examine it anymore, she heard James coming back.

She hid herself behind a bookself and watched James open up an old looking book. He flipped through it frantically and when he found the page he needed, ripped it out. Lily was shocked, of course, because James Potter would never ruin a library book. James looked around to make sure no one saw him, and without seeing Lily, took the package and the page, and rushed out of the library.

When she made sure he had left, Lily walked around this strange room, and was puzzled. The shelves were almost identicle to those of the real library, except the titles werent words that she recognized. The letters rearranged themselves every couple of seconds to make complete rubbish. She then walked over to the book, which was still open at the page where James had ripped something out. She closed the book, and took a look at the title. It was, of course, rearranging itself. She tapped it twice and said "ottenga nell'ordine". The letters started to come together and make sense, when it stopped, Lily almost fainted.

Mortified, she ran out of the library and back to Gryffindor tower. She was going to miss Charms, her favorite class, but after this experience, she really wasn't in the mood to do anything but lie on her bed by herself, and try to decide what to do next.
