My Heart Belongs to You

Questions and Truths

"Lily! Open the door! It's me!" Natalie yelled when she got into the Head's dorm. "Open this door or I'll open it for you!" She screamed when Lily didn't answer. After about a minute of silence Natalie could here Lily getting up.

Lily slowly opened the door and let Natalie in. "I don't want to talk about it." Lily said after closing the door. Her eyes were red and puffy. Her fire red hair was tangled and was messed up more than James' ever was. Natalie just gave her a pitiful look.

"He wasn't acting on his own free will." Natalie finally said. She didn't give Lily a sympathetic smile, as she usually would, but rather kept her face unreadable. Lily hated it when Natalie was like this; it meant she wasn't being completely honest about something. "James wouldn't be acting this way if he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't be crying or consistently talking about you it he had." Lily cut in. She had heard enough.

"Natalie, its not that I don't want to believe that, it's more that I'm afraid!" Lily finally yelled out. She had to tell someone.

"What do you mean Lily?" Natalie asked looking slightly confused.

Lily sighed. "I don't believe that he did it at his own free will, but I'm afraid to fall for him! I can't believe I did to begin with!" Lily screamed out. Tears were forming in her eyes again.

She loved James. She knew that, but she wasn't sure he felt the same way. Not after the argument they had, not after what she heard.

As if Natalie could read her mind she spoke. They were lying. James was never with Teri. He was with me we were working on a present for your birthday next month." Natalie said with a frown. It was supposed to be a surprise, and she wasn't to keen on giving it up. Or she didn't seem to be at least.

"What's your point? So what if James wasn't cheating? I'll always remember that sight! If I fight with him I won't be able to not remember what happened!" Lily cried out the tears were now falling from her once so gorgeous eyes. Lily saw a brief hint of a smile on Natalie's face through the tears, but it was gone by the time she looked back.

"Lily! I think Terret had him under the Imperius curse!" Natalie finally said, enjoying the look of paleness that came over Lily's face.

She couldn't believe it, James… under the Imperius curse? Not right under Dumbledore's nose! Surely not! No one could pull that off! Also Lily couldn't help but wonder why Sirius hadn't said anything. The pieces weren't fitting together.

Lily gave Natalie a cold hard stare, she was attempting to penetrate her mind, but she had blocked it. Something was seriously wrong; Natalie didn't block that stuff from Lily.

All of a sudden Lily's unlocked door burst open. "Stupefy!" Lily heard the familiar voice of Sirius scream. Lily watched as her 'friend' fell to the ground. "Did she hurt you?" Sirius asked while walking over to Lily and pulling her into a tight embrace.

"No, but what happened? She said James was under the Imperius Curse, and then, I got confused, and was about to ask her what she was on about when you came in." Lily said in one quick breath. She held onto Sirius so tight that he could barely breath that is till she looked over his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Lily…" James said his chocolate brown eyes showing concern and love. His jet-black hair was messier than was usual. He had a scared look on his ever so handsome face.

Lily let go of Sirius and stood in front of James. She looked at his appearance and frowned. He mustn't have slept the night before. He looked very stressed and upset.

"I'm sorry James. I just over reacted. I saw you and Teri, and it was like my worst nightmare realized."

Lily slowly walked to him and brought him into a tight embrace. James sent Sirius a huge smile. The plan had worked.

"I'm sorry James, I just over reacted. I saw you and Teri, and it was like my worst fear was realized." Lily said into his shoulder. She had tears in her eyes again. They had stopped falling when Sirius came in.

"It's okay Lily, don't worry about it." James whispered softly. There was a small knock on the door.

"Natalie?" Sirius said cautiously. He had a clearly confused look on his face, as did Lily and James who broke apart and looked over at the door, where sure enough, there was Natalie.

Lily always being the smart one looked over to where she was sure that she would find Natalie on the ground paralyzed, but when Lily looked it was not Natalie on the ground.

"What the hell?" The Natalie standing in the doorway said, following their gaze. "What is she doing here?" She asked.

"Well twenty minutes ago she was you." James said with a confused look on his face. It was clear to Lily, Sirius, and James what was going on.

"Me? How could she be me? I was sleeping in my room, and I woke up, and went to the common room where I was told that James had cheated on Lily and I came here to see Lily." Natalie said, still very much confused and shaken by it all.

Everyone stood quietly taking in what Natalie had said. Finally Lily spoke. "Exactly how long were you sleeping? Because this all started pretty early last night, the whole common room knew that I was upset." Lily spoke with a tight disposition. It wasn't too normal for Natalie to sleep that long.

"I'm not sure. I guess it was just after four. I had an early dinner, and went to the library, then left and went to sleep." The girl replied with a tortured look on her face.

"Wow Nat, that's really early." Sirius spoke up. He had a relived look on his face. The door then opened yet again.

"James, I grabbed it from your room, and then stole some from the Slugs secret stash." Remus said quickly while holding up a vile of clear liquid.

"Veriteseum?" Lily questioned with a concerned look on her face. She was speaking of the truth serum of course, and didn't understand why it was here. She also looked at Remus, he was always the reasonable one, not one to steal, and what was it that he grabbed from James' room? This was confusing Lily dearly.

"Yeah, we are going to sort this whole thing out now, but Lily, you are going to put something more covering on." Sirius said looking at Lily's revealing clothes, Lily blushed and looked at her clothes.

She walked to the closet and pulled on sweatpants and a sweater. "Better?" Lily asked when she faced the boys. They all nodded. "So who is taking the Truth potion?" She asked ready to get down to business.

"James, Teri, and Natalie." Sirius replied. Natalie and James nodded with understanding. "Now that that is settled, who would like to go first?" James raised his hand. Sirius conjured a cut of pumpkin juice, Remus put a drop of the potion in, and James took the glass and drank it all down in one gulp. James went into a trance.

"Are you James Potter?" Remus asked, clearly doing all the questioning.

"Yes." James replied in a monotone.

"Did you have a fight with Lily in the Room of Requirement yesterday afternoon?" Remus asked.

"No." James said.

"That's enough Remus, we know he didn't do the rest." Lily said aloud. Remus and Sirius exchanged a glance and nodded.

Sirius pulled out a vile of dark liquid from his pocket and gave a drop to James, he instantly snapped out of the trance.

"That didn't take very long." James said instantly.

"Lily heard enough to know." Sirius told his friend with a huge grin. Lily too was grinning happily at James, who gave Remus a curious look before grinning wider than anyone else.

"Yup! Yup!" Lily said. "Now, Natalie, I believe it's your turn." She continued. Natalie nodded and took the Pumpkin juice that Sirius offered her.

"Are you really Natalie Keri?" Remus asked when Natalie went into the same trance James had been in. Natalie nodded. "Where were you yesterday afternoon?" Remus asked this time Natalie spoke.

"I was helping James with Lily's birthday present?" Natalie replied in the same monotone that James had had minutes before hand.

"When did James leave?" Remus asked.

"Around four, he was going to meet Lily for dinner." Natalie said.

"What did you do when James left?" Remus asked with a note of concern in his voice. Sirius looked uneasy.

"I went up to the library to study." Sirius let out a sigh of relief, but to his dismay she went on. "I saw Sirius sitting in a back corner, so I went to speak to him." Sirius let out a sigh of relief again, and Remus asked the next question.

"What happened when you left the library?"

"I went up to my dorm where I found a cupcake from Lily. I ate it, and fell asleep and didn't wake up till late today." Natalie said.

"Give her the antidote." Lily said. Sirius gave it to Natalie, and Lily went on. " I didn't leave that cupcake." Natalie nodded, as did everyone else. "Let's give it to her." With that Sirius gave Teri the last of the potion.
