Disclaimer: I only own Carly and her mother

Thanks for all the reviews!

Kel- I agree Sirius should be thrown into the lake (even if he doesn't hurt Carly ;)).

Ms. Lippy- Thanks for replying. I like it when people say stuff like that. To answer I sort of try and base a lot of my story off of fact when it comes to the characters. Goyle has a father (as it said in book 4) and I figured Molly and Aurther have to be older then James because they have a bunch of older kids. I think that once out of school James and Lily wait a couple months then get married and then have Harry when their around 20 (because they get out of school when their 17 so it's probably not early for them) Also Molly Weasley never said she new the Potter's personally and wouldn't she have to if they where in the same year and house? As with Lucius I agree but I needed someone else so I made him younger, I figure sense he's evil him and Narcissa will have Draco right away.

Hint: there's another infamous Carly/conscious moment ahead…

Chapter 19: Finding Out

Enjoy:

"Hey Remus?" James asked from behind his pillow,

"What?" He said looking up from his book,

"Where's Peter?" Remus shrugged,

"I don't know. I don't really know if I care much anymore," James sat up,

"Where's Lily?" Remus put down his book,

"I don't know. She's your girlfriend."

"Right." He said flopping back down on his bed again,

"Where's Carly?" Remus shrugged, "Where's Sirius?"

"Probably with Carly. You know how alike you sound to Sirius?" James shrugged and rolled over,

"So Moony, what about you and Sophie."

"What about me and Sophie?" James shrugged,

"I dunno." Remus rolled his eyes. There was a soft thud causing James to sit up, "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" There was a second one only this time louder,

"That." They heard mumbled voices and then their door flung open. James heard Remus mutter a "figures," before Sirius started shouting pointing at James and Remus.

"DID YOU TWO KNOW?"

"Know what mate?" James said. He heard their door creak open and Lily silently close it waving her wand,

"Sorry making sure no one can hear us. Please go on with your annoying rant Sirius. I was enjoying you calling my best friend a murderous trader." Sirius rounded on her,

"And you wouldn't?" He sneered in her face,

"Do I call you one?" She glared sizing up to him, even though she was shorter by a good foot. Sirius ran a hand through his hair and plopped onto his bed,

"Carefree to enlighten us at anytime now." Remus said putting his book back in his bag. Lily sighed and sat on James' bed,

"This is going against all of my inner sense, but I-" Sirius let out a strained cough, "we know who Carly's birth father is."

"You do?"

"Yup." James and Remus leaned in ready for her to say more, but she didn't,

"Are you…going to tell us?" James asked. Sirius shot up and started smacking his head,

"Why didn't I see it?"

"See what?" James asked,

"I mean it fits doesn't it?"

"God damnit tell us already!" Remus yelled,

"She told me the hat told her something about her dad, and she looks completely like him…minus the hair." The others raised an eyebrow,

"You've seen him?" Lily whispered. Sirius waved it off,

"Many times, she's got his eyes and she's tall like him too. Not to mention very clever. This also explains why all the Slytherins like her. The devils knew! All this time and they never let one word go! Know wonder they wanted to get on her good side. Probably an extra point with her daddy."

"Will you tell us already?" James and Remus said at the same time,

"Carly's dad is…I don't know if it's my place to tell. Maybe Carly should tell you."

"Tell you what?" Carly said opening the door and shutting it. Sirius' eyes became wide. He let out a breath and fled the room saying something along the lines of Slytherin basterds. Carly rounded on Lily who blushed and hid behind James. James raised an eyebrow at Lily. "You told them? Lily!" Lily blushed,

"No I didn't, not yet."

"Sirius knows?"

"That's not my fault he was eves-dropping." Carly let out an aggravated sigh and stomped out of the room,

"Where are you going?" Lily yelled down the steps,

"To find the twit." Was Carly's reply,

"Will you tell us now?" James said snaking his arms around her waist. Lily sighed,

"Tom Riddle." Remus gasped and James let go,

"You mean Voldemort." Lily nodded,

"Oh God." Remus mumbled, "Something bad is going to happen. We have to find them before one of them kills each other."

"Wait what?"

"Well think about it. Aren't they just perfect together? Maybe a little to perfect. Both come from evil families, well half of Carly does…" He added as an after thought, "Both don't like the evil at all. Do you think this was meant to happen?"

"What do you mean?" Lily said inching closer to Remus,

"I mean do you think their relationship had some outside help?" Lily thought for a moment,

"Wait as in a bad thing? Or a good thing?"

"A bad thing. Obviously there are people out there that hate Sirius (coughhisfamilycough) and I'm sure there are jealous fans of her dad that want her out of the picture." Remus answered. James thought out loud,

"I mean it had to happen outside of school."

"Why say that?" Remus asked,

"Well it had to have been something from her. If it's some sort of spell someone outside of school must have set it. Plus it couldn't have been Sirius because I was with him all summer. He has liked her from the moment he saw her."

"So has she…" Lily mumbled,

"You don't think it was her mum?" Remus asked,

"I don't know. I doubt it though. A woman who is so keen on hunting Deatheaters and leads one of the greatest Auror departments ever. I mean come on now she has Moody, Prewett, both of my parents, Meadows, and Fenwick all under her command." (AN: That would be the first old order. Well in my opinion.) James said in one breath. Remus nodded and Lily tapped her chin,

"Should we tell Dumbledore?" Remus whispered,

"I think Carly should tell him." James added,

"She won't." Lily mumbled.

"Why not?" James asked,

"Because her mother was hurt somehow by Voldemort and she doesn't like talking about it. Dumbledore would just want to question her and it's too much for one heart to handle."

"Maybe we can just tell him and ask him not to question or bring it up. I mean he's an honorable guy." Remus said while the others nodded.

"Not now though." James added racing towards the door again,

"Why?" Lily said following him out,

"Because we have to go save someone. I'm not sure, that Sirius won't do something stupid causing Carly to kill him." Lily nodded and Remus closed the door. They where stepping out of the portrait hole when-

"Hey Remus! I didn't know your common room was this way." Sophie said brightly. Her expression changed though when she saw their faces, "What's going on?"

"Explain on the way." Remus said grabbing her wrist and following Lily and James down the hall. He whispered quietly to her well James and Lily searched every possible place they might be. When Remus was done telling her the story Sophie was silent for a while. Then she gasped,

"I saw Sirius going to the pitch." James smacked his head,

"Duh!" With that he grabbed Lily's hand and raced out on the grounds. It was raining hard making them temporally blind. James' instincts took over and he somehow found his way to the quidditch pitch with Lily still hanging on. He looked back. "Where are Remus and Sophie?" Lily shrugged and shivered. James led her into the locker rooms listening for any sounds that might be the others. He opened his locker and pulled out his cloak, handing it to Lily he walked to the door and opened it. He silently beckoned Lily over, "There." James whispered pointing at two faint figures in the middle of the field. Lily whispered something pointing her wand at a spare shoe lying there. The shoe turned into a small speaker and Lily brought it up to James' and her ears.

Carly rounded the corner where the hell is he! Check the quidditch pitch. How come when I'm having Sirius (An: HAHA) problems you always show up! Because it's my job. Yeah well you should be fired. If I where you I'd watch where I was going so you don't bump into that wall. Grr…Is he going to be like last time? If he is that's a little hypocritical don't you think? Yeah…wait now you're on my side? Never… Yes you are your on my side! What are you going to say to him when you find him? Don't change the subject…I just thought I'd wing it. It's not like I know what he's going to say. Alright. I have a bet going with his conscious to see how long it is till you two make up (or out.) Oh, yeah. How long did you bet for? The end of your conversation. What did his say? The beginning of it. Sigh…I didn't know you could talk to other people's is that how you know where he is? …maybe… I hate you. I love you! Now don't fail me I have a lot riding on this bet. What are you going to bet! You're in my head. I know that, I can control you. You know that right. I'd rather not…so if I win, I (or you) get to do whatever you want with Sirius, his conscious and his body. Please tell me that if you lose it's not the same. No his conscious wants to know what its like to live in the day of a girl. So I and he have to switch places. Oh that's not too bad. Have you ever met Sirius' conscious?

"REMUS?" Came Sophie's struggled cry. Remus turned and sprinted to the sound of Sophie's voice. She was sitting on the ground clutching her ankle.

"Sophie!" He yelled racing towards her. "Are you okay?" She looked up it was hard to tell if she was crying or not, "can you move." She bit her lip and with the help of Remus stood up. She was taking a step when her ankle gave way and she began to fall. Remus caught her. "Let's get you to the hospital wing." She nodded now crying in Remus' arms. He pulled her closer noticing how warm he got with her body against his. Shrugging it off he began the long haul towards the castle. A small hand found its way onto his cheek. He looked down and Sophie had a look of worry on her face,

"What about Carly and Sirius?" She asked.

"I think Lily and James can handle it." She nodded and bit her lip again as the pain in her ankle surged through her small body. Remus grimaced not liking the look on her face.

I wanted to run a poll for all the reviewers. Do you think it'll be better if Carly's conscious won or Sirius' conscious won? I wont post until I get at least three answers. Ha black mail!

Thanks for RR
