"Previously"

Lily's feet gave way and she fell to the ground. On her knees she looked at the elf in the eyes and mumbled help before passing out.

The house elf went inside and quickly fetched her master Julia and Michael Archibald. Michael levitated both teens into the house and into two separate guest rooms. Julia treated Sirius first cleaning the blood from his body and healing his cuts but unable to do anything with his bruises.

She then checked on the young girl. Julia had dealt with cases like hers before. Abused by someone they trusted. She cleaned her up as much as she could. Lily's body held scars of old beatings and cuts. She even repaired all her fractured and broken or dislocated bones. Her rib had punctured her lungs. It was a miracle she was still alive.

It had been a week and they were supposed to have returned to Hogwarts 3 days ago. Sirius had woken up 2 days after they arrived and he had caused a bit of a scene with the headmaster present and James and his family. Sirius hadn't spoken to James since the argument. He was now sitting at the foot of Lily's bed. He thought back to that day:

Flash Back

He had woken up in a strange place he looked around and all he saw was white. The bed he was in the sheets the curtains even the wood was white. He got up shakily at first but regained his usual strength back quickly. He tried to focus on how he had gotten there when a door opened. In walked a young girl that he recognized from somewhere. She had short dirty blond hair and a naïve and youthful face. She was a petite girl and her most astonishing feature was her eyes, her bright light blue eyes. He noticed he was staring quite rudely at her and she looked shocked and frightened at the same time. She also looked as though she were ready to cry.

"Sirius your up that was a …a…um quick recovery. Are…..you um feeling better?" Sirius's warm grey eyes brightened as he finally recognized the girl form Hogwarts

"Susana, right Susana Archibald. Yea I'm fine. How did I get here?" he scratched his head and furrowed his brow trying to remember.

"Lily brought you. You both were quite beaten up. I'm surprised your up and walking so quickly. It's only been two days. Lily still hasn't even fluttered an eyelash and………" she stopped short as a tear rolled down his cheek. "I'm sorry Sirius I didn't mean to say anything bad. What's wrong?"

He turned away form her "I remember me…I …we were there ….she was in so much pain we both were…. Lily. Where is she I must see her. I have to have her know that I'm sorry that son of a bitch I'll kill him."

He kept on muttering until she decided it might be ok for him to see Lily. She walked up to him and grabbed his wrist and lightly tugged on it towards the door and he followed until the got to the door to go into the hallway

"Why are you stopping?"

"Where are we going?" she turned around to face him she sighed and gave him a small comforting smile. " we're going to visit Lily" he nodded and they kept on walking down a forest green hallway to the end of it and entered a door to another room the same as Sirius except it had shades of jade green and blue. It also felt homier than his room. He walked up to the bed which was a pale green and there he saw it her magnificent red hair sticking out like a sore thumb. He looked at her she was pale, deathly pale and she had an eerie sunken aura of death around her. She was letting go and he knew it. He couldn't allow her to. A tear drop dropped from his to face to her hand as he held it.

"Lily you have come back. Don't let him win" a door opened and James walked in he stayed quite wondering what Sirius's relationship to Evens was now. "We fought to hard and long to allow him to get to you like this. I'm sorry I let him do this to you I tried to get him away I'm so sorry. I love you, you are part of my blood you" he heard James gasp and knew that he had betrayed lily by allowing James to hear even if he didn't know James was there.

"Do you always intrude on people's private conversations Potter?" he turned to face James. James was spitting magic from his body the headmaster and James's parents came in he was angry and Sirius knew it. He had no idea what to expect from James at this moment. "I suggest you calm down before you pass out you know your magic can't handle your little fits of rage"

"My fit……my…… is that all you have to say. I just heard you say you loved Evans and you worrying about….. I just can't believe what I'm hearing…. What are you and Evans dating? When the hell were you going to tell me you were dating this cold hearted bitch" Right there Sirius had had enough of James's bullshit he crossed the room in 3 long strides and jabbed his finger into James's chest "Don't you ever talk about her like that again I am not going to allow you to talk about her like that James so watch your tongue or I'll personally tape to your ass." James smirked "why are being so over protective she is a…." Sirius interrupted him before he could say something he would regret right afterward "James shut up" "don't you tell me to shut up you bloody backstabbing ass" "follow me I guess you should know what really is going on between me and Lily"

Sirius and James walked back to Sirius room and when they entered Sirius locked it and walked over to the desk and sat on it James remained standing and an uncomfortable silence fell upon them. Sirius spoke first "Lily Evans is my half sister" "what!" "Don't interrupt me James anyway her mother got together with my father for one night then later on when she learned about her true father her step father and my mother died. Well long story short my father raped Lily and killed her mother and I tried to help her so I got kicked out and she has been living with our father for awhile I help her when he beats her I usually lie when I say I have a date." James said nothing he just opened the door and left

Flash Back ends

Lily began to stir in her sleep and mumble a bit about incoherent things. Suddenly she gave a jolt in her sleep and began to thrash Sirius didn't know what to do suddenly she started to scream a loud piercing scream and the door opened and James walked in and the screaming stopped and lily gasped as if for air as she sat up quickly now awake. She looked around and saw him, her step father, but in reality it was Sirius and she pushed her self as far back as possible and fled to the door when she was caught around the waste by a large masculine arm she tried to keep on going but he wouldn't let her go she struggled until his other arm wrapped itself around her she tried to get away but he prevented her from doing so.

James whispered soothing things into her ear saying that it was ok and that she was safe now she didn't want to believe him but he sounded so sincere and she was so scared so she stopped struggling and that's when it all hit her when she remembered everything that had happened and soon tears started to fall. Her body began to shake violently and she began to sob her cries had made her knees go weak and she was now on the floor being rocked back and forth. James held her temporarily forgetting his misplaced hatred in her. He called Sirius over and Sirius came. He bent down and talked to Lily before picking her up "Lily it's me Sirius Come here it's all going to be ok. I don't care what you say but your not going back to that place ok." She looked up the Archibalds were standing in the doorway 2 feet away from James and Lily she whispered out Sirius name and he took her and carried her to her bed and put her on his lap. He kissed her forehead and whispered that he was sorry this had to happen to her he must have been with her only fifteen minutes when he looked down and she was asleep again but this time a peaceful sleep the type of sleep you have when you know you are protected.

She slept for a while and didn't wake until dinner time. Susana was with her when she woke up again and had a hard time getting Sirius out side so he can have dinner. She had to offer her services of protection and even then he was doubtful. Susana gave Lily small portions of food knowing that if you over do it you would most likely vomit it back out especially after being unconscious for a while.

After Dinner Sirius ran upstairs to see Lily. He walked in and sat on the edge of her bed. "How you feeling Lily."

"Better I Guess" Sirius couldn't look her in the eyes he had betrayed her by telling their secret to James and her own secret as well.

"Why the long face Sirius it's over like you said I have no choice I can't go back"

"You heard me?"

"Of course Now you have to tell me what's wrong I know you I can read you like a book and let me tell you I'm a speed reader now what's wrong."

"I told him. James I told him I lost control and he heard me say that I loved you but he didn't let me finish it got out of control and I told him everything I'm sorry Lily I didn't mean to I swear." She looked at him and tears stared to flow she didn't know what to do she couldn't believe he told him everything. Just then the headmaster came in. he knew something had happened between Sirius and Lily because you could cut the tension with a knife. He cleared his throat cutting off anything Lily was going to say. He walked right up to Lily without saying a word and handed her an envelope and gave her a small smile and left. She opened the envelope and out fell a gold badge with the letters hg on it. She had been made head girl what she has been working for all her life and she did it she was head girl. Right after the headmaster left James came in and screamed "I'M HEAD BOY" Lily was shocked and James and Sirius had large goofy grins on their faces "well prongs old buddy old pal Lily dearest here is Head girl to your Head boy" Somehow their grins got wider Lily just got such a bad feeling of apprehension that she felt sick and threw out the contents of her dinner in the toilet the boys rushed in there to help her Sirius held her hair back and James stood and watched thinking to himself that this would be a very interesting school year.
