A/N: Okay, Aly's gone somewhere and refuses to update right now. I'll do this chapter and the next since, well, she's just not here. Okay, on with the story!

-Leiah

"The doors won't open!" yelled Lily who was now feeling numb all over.

"It seems as though they're stopped up by something or they're just locked!" James yelled back out to her.

Lily tried to think of another way for James to get inside. He couldn't go through a window...there couldn't be any trapdoors...the garden entrance!

"Hey, Potter! You can go through the garden doors!" she called out.

Lily noticed no one was there. Then, she saw the foot of James Potter heading around the corner to where the the garden maze was. Lily was happy for the first time in her life about something he was doing. He was actually helping her instead of pranking her.

This is a first for me, Lily thought. Falling into the lake, losing my bikini, getting locked outside of Hogwarts, and Potter helping me makes a very exciting day already. Though I can still wonder if Potter was being truthful about Twilight being here...

Twilight was Lily's best friend who was also a Muggle-born. It was like destiny made them spill Pickled Slugs and Wolf Saliva all over eachother.(They did get the stains out) Their mothers had been in High School and College together, but had lost contact when they graduated. And then, years later, their daughters meet up and spill slimy stuff all over themselves.

If Twilight weren't here, I don't know what I would do! She's been with me through all my troubles!

Lily decided to move around a little to shake off the numbness. She dog-paddled around the lake she got tired. A half hour later Lily's stomach began to growl. She was getting very hungry.

I hope they bring towels clothes and food when they come back, Lily mused. And I hope I can apologize to James for everything I've done to him...

Deep within her soul, she felt a fire, a passion, rising up, warming her. She realized that she loved, not loathed, James Potter. And then...she sang.

"So many nights, I'd sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, now you've come along.

And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the waters
Could it be finally, I'm turning for home
Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be all alone.

And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.

You, You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong, when it feels so right

Cause you, you light up my life."

A/N: Alas, Lily is left alone to think, sing, and be numb. And hungry. I, too, am hungry. I am awake at 4 o' clock, pulling an all nighter...again. Well, at least I'm updating...

Thanks to the people who helped me in my time of need(anonymous, Wenham-Wonderer,MaDAnDCrZy, and Anna). And the ones who sent hate mail are actually appreciated by Aly because she likes to tell them off. Not all the time because that's not like her. If I were Aly, I would say hate mail is encouraged...probably. Okay...hate mail and reviews and suggestions are accepted at all times. Thanks! (I'm sorry if this chapter is too short, I lacking a lot of sleep. :P)
