Back in their own time, Lily was worried about why James hadn't come to see her that day. As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. Lily was having a better day than most, so she got up off the couch and walked slowly towards the door.

It was Sirius, not James.

"Hi Lils."

"Hello, where's James?" she croaked

"1997."

"What?"

"1997. He's getting you a cure."

"Really? Why didn't he tell me?"

"There wasn't time. He wanted to leave straight away."

"Oh, ok."

"So, how are you today?"

"I'm alright. At least I'm not stuck in my bed."

Sirius looked at her. She was in a dressing gown and she was very pale and obviously hadn't showered in a while. But who could blame her? She was fatally sick.

"That's good."

"Yeah, but I need a bath or a shower. It's hard; Jen said I couldn't do anything when she's not here. In case I hurt myself or faint."

"She's right. I can wait for a while if you want, while you get yourself cleaned up."

"Really? Thanks so much Sirius." Lily said and ran off towards her bedroom.

While she was in the bathroom he decided he was hungry, he opened her fridge and it was pretty much empty, except for some cheese and some jam.

Jen walked through the front door, not noticing Sirius; she called out to Lily, and only heard the water running.

"Lily, you shouldn't be doing anything without me here! Something could happen!" she yelled.

"So, am I not responsible or am I invisible?" Sirius asked

"Oh! Sirius you made me jump. I didn't see you, sorry."

"That's ok." He laughed, "No, Lily asked if I would wait."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for that."

"Lily needs some food. She's almost out, she only has cheese and jam. I don't know if she's even eating at all." Sirius said

"Really? I'll go shopping later."

Lily walked out of the bathroom, she wasdressed and drying her hair with a towel.

"Hey Jen."

"Hi Lils, but you need to stay in bed. You need to keep your energy."

"Yes mum." Lily said and she walked back into her bedroom.

"I've got to go. I need to talk to Jesse, about Remus."

"All right. Tell Remus I said hi." Jen said

"He's not here."

"He's not? Where is he?"

"1997"

"What? Come on, tell me the truth."

"That's where he is. He and James went there to get a cure for Lily."

"That's so sweet."

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."

Sirius apparated to Remus' apartment and knocked on the door. Jesse answered looking decidedly angry.

"Where's Remus?" she demanded

"That's what I'm here about."

"What is he doing?" she snapped

"He's in 1997."

"What? Why?"

"He's getting a cure for Lily."

"Lily? That bitch he's always talking about?"

"Don't you dare refer to Lily that way." Sirius said, now he was mad, and he was taking it personally.

"Whatever. I don't care anymore. I'm out of here."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you stupid? I'm leaving. I'm dumping Remus."

"Fine, good riddance." He hissed and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.

Emma hadn't heard from Sirius in a while. He had been very busy with taking care of Lily, she was like his little sister, even though they were the smae age, give or take a few months.

She was walking through Langston Park, admiring her surroundings. She watched young children playing in the fountain. She wondered whether she would ever have kids with Sirius. Then she remembered that she had just started dating him. It was way too early to be thinking of that.

Then she saw something that shocked her deeply.

Severus Snape, and Claudia. Sitting on the hill, laughing and having a picnic. Claudia turned her head, and her eyes met Emma's. Claudia's green eyes filled with fury. She got to her feet and stomped down to where Emma was standing.

"What is your problem?" she asked, sounding very hurt.

"Sorry?"

"Is your life goal to ruin every bit of happiness I have?" She was almost crying.

"What?"

"First you take Sirius away from me, and now you are ruining my picnic with Severus."

"Claudia, I hardly know you, you need not worry. I'm not trying to hurt you."

"Don't lie." She snarled, Emma felt a hard slap land on her face.

"Ow! I think you're the one with the problem."

There was a cracking sound and Sirius appeared. Claudia saw him andhurried back up to Snape.

"Emma, what is she --- why are you bleeding?"

"Don't worry. How are you?" she said as she gave him a kiss

"I'm good, but I just witnessed Jesse walking out on Remus when he wasn't there."

"How? I don't get it. How can that happen?"

"Remus and James are in 1997. I went to tell her and she went mad."

"Oh, they're getting the cure!"

"Yeah. Emma why are you bleeding?" he insisted

"Come with me, then I'll tell you."

She led him away from the spot where Claudia and Snape were sitting.

"Claudia, she hit me. I think she still has feelings for you." Emma explained

"She hurt you? I'll make her pay." Sirius said hotly, his temper rising quickly.

"Sirius don't. Please. Just leave her."

"But---"

"If someone stole you from me, I would probably do the same thing. Please don't do anything, for me."

"Ok, but just for you." He said and gave her a kiss.
