A/N: I'm back from my holiday! I got back yesterday, and the first thing I did was come and write this for you. the flashback is rather different from my usual 'style' of writing, but i hope you like it!

Three weeks and three days since James and Ellie or Lily broke up, and

James and Emma had been going out for three weeks and five days.

Sirius had a good feeling that James was using Emma as a rebound; he was

trying to get over Lily by shutting her out completely. Whenever someone mentioned her to James he'd say "oh yeah, that chick. Yeah I used to know her."

Sirius kept thinking about Emma; he kept his crush a secret. He tried to ignore it, but it was hard. One day after they had all gone out to a pub Remus pulled him aside.

"Sirius. What's going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you keep looking at Emma?"

"I'm not!"

"Sirius, I'm not stupid, what's wrong with her?"

"Nothing, I've sort of got a crush on her." He admitted

"What? You can't do that! It's so easy to see there's something going on, Emma probably thinks something is up!" he shouted.

"Keep your voice down! Do you think James knows?"

"Of course not! The only person I know who is more vague than James is Peter."

"Oh. Please don't tell him, not yet."

"Fine. But I do think you need another girlfriend."

"Ok." He sighed.

"Hey, Jesse has a friend named Claudia, you might like her." Remus said

"Who's Jesse?"

"My girlfriend, we've been going out for two months, geez! Light blonde hair, brown eyes?"

"Oh, her. Ok, I will meet Claudia."

Claudia Jones was a girl who had gone to Durmstrang. She was average height and had black hair and green eyes. She and Sirius together made a good couple.

According to Jesse, Claudia had been quite a troublemaker at Durmstrang, which Sirius thought was definitely a good point, they had a lot in common but there was something wrong. Sirius wasn't over Emma, not yet.

Every time he saw her he found that he liked her even more. Claudia was ok to have around as a friend, but nothing more.

Lily was finding it very hard to move on. Remus visited her quite often and told her what was going on in the lives of the Marauders. Other than that Lily did nothing; at all. She didn't want to. She would sit on her bed crying over James, wishing that she could turn back time, so she could go back to Hogwarts and fix everything. She would not make the same mistake as last time. But Lily didn't have a time turner, they were illegal, and she didn't like breaking rules.

------------------------------------------Flashback----------------------------------------

He held tightly on to her arm, she pulled back but his grip was too strong. It started to rain

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see."

He dragged her into the forest, making her walk through the trip over a tree stump. Lily's face was contorted with fear. Finally they stopped, and he pulled off the blindfold that had been tied so tightly around her face. He let go of her arm, leaving a red mark on her skin where he had been holding her.

He slowly circled around her and hissed in her ear,

"Little Lily, Great Reputation, Miss Mudblood, Perfect Role model, Head Girl, Girlfriend of the All-star James Potter. Perfect Lily Evans. That's all about to change."

"Stay away from me." She said firmly, trying not to let him see her fear.

"You want me Evans, you filthy mudblood." He snarled back, his cold grey eyes sending a shiver down her spine.

"I said STAY AWAY!" she shouted

"Lily, don't be scared, I won't do anything that you don't deserve." He sneered

"You're disgusting." She spat; a hard slap flew across her face.

"Don't you dare insult me!"

A tear ran down her face as she put a finger to her lip, crimson blood was trickling from her lip where he had slapped her.

He grabbed her and pulled her towards him. "I'm going to ruin your reputation, you are going to cheat on James Potter and he is going to catch you. Then all the girls in this school will hate you for hurting him, then you will hate yourself.

"Why?"

"Shut up! You should know, because you're a filthy disgusting mudblood."

Another slap, but this time it was much harder.

He pulled her in again and kissed her forcefully, she tried to resist but he was so strong.

"Lily? Malfoy?" said a familiar voice, Malfoy pushed her away from him, she turned to see James staring at her in disbelief.

"James! I—he—um."

"Don't bother." He said

Tears streamed down Lily's face, she shook her head, she couldn't speak. James raised his wand and pointed it at her; he hesitated, then put his arm down, and walked out of the forest. He brushed a tear away as Lily an after him.

"James, let me explain." She walked towards him and fell in the mud

"I'll explain it for you." James' voice wobbled "I saw you walking out here with someone wearing Slytherin robes, I followed you and I found you out here with him."

"No, James… I …" she said weakly

"Just…leave me alone." He said and walked off, leaving Lily sitting in the mud crying in the rain.

It was at that time that Lily regretfully knew they were over.

-----------------------------------------Flashback------------------------------------------

Lily touched her face where he had slapped her, as if she could still feel the pain of his hand on her face or if she could see his piercing grey eyes.

She could still feel the heartache of watching James turn around and walk away.
