Lily took in the familiar surroundings of Hogwarts Hospital Wing. She sighed, her friends would be down here soon, and she had sent James to find them. It felt good to be home, where she felt semi safe. She closed her eyes and a tear slipped down her cheek, she was dreading telling her friends about what had happened to her. She took in a shaky breath and exhaled, she had to be strong for when her friends got here, which would be... now.

The Hospital Wing's door was thrown open and Sierra marched in, concern written all over her face. When she saw Lily her eyes widened and she paled, that was the same reaction with all of them. Sierra was the first to rush to her side and regain her voice.

"Oh my god! Lily what happened!!!!" Sierra said looking at her best friend.

Tears started to run down her cheeks no matter how hard she fought to keep them in. "Lily it's ok, you can tell us." Jenna said sitting down beside of the bed beside of Allison and Candy.

Lily sniffed, glanced at James who was standing against the wall, and looked down away from their eyes. "For t-the p-past couple of years now I have been getting abused." She said as more tears fell down her eyes. Sierras hand held Lily's tightly. None of the girls said anything waiting for Lily to finish talking. "At first it was just verbal and physical a- abuse from my father, but t-then h-he, h-he s-started to get s-s-sexually with me." She told them quietly.

"Oh god." Sierra mumbled, as the others were just in shock.

"And over Christmas break it got worse. I was an inch away from d- death when I accidentally flooed to James's house. But right before that I- I found out h-he w-wasn't my r-real father." She sobbed. "A-and he killed her! He killed my mom!" She sobbed out and broke down. "It's all my fault!" She cried.

"Lily no!" Sierra said forcefully while enveloping her in a hug. "It wasn't your fault! I'm so sorry Lily." She said and hugged her friend, as the rest of them joined in.

"You should have told us sooner, we could have helped you Lils." Allison whispered.

"I-I was afraid that you would hate me, and think I was a disgusting slut." She sobbed.

The other girls exchanged looks. "Lily we could never think that. You're our best friend Lils, and nothing could ever change that. He's the one who's the disgusting piece of crap, not you. It wasn't your fault." Jenna explained, tears running down her cheeks along with the other girls. A sob escaped Lily as she began to cry hard.

"But I could have stopped him! I-I could have done something! And now my mom's gone and I have no one! I'm all alone!" Lily sobbed out.

"It's ok Lily, your not alone. We're here. We'll help you." Sierra told her friend.

"Yea Lils, we're not going to let anything happen to you." Candy said stroking her friends hair.

"Thanks you guys. You're the one of the best." Lily said in between tears.

(Later that night)

Sirius and Jenna sat in an empty class room snogging. She along with the other girls had left Lily about two hours ago, after she had fallen asleep. James had stayed however, which confused them, but the didn't comment on it. Jenna's mind kept going back to Lily and what she had told them, she couldn't believe it had happened to her. The carefree girl she had first met when she came here. She just couldn't believe it. Jenna pulled away from Sirius and got off of his lap and walked to the window. He looked t her confused for a second.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

Jenna sighed and rested her head against the window. "I keep thinking about Lily is all." Jenna said.

Sirius gave her a funny look. "Why?" Sirius asked. He didn't know anything that had happened to her. No one had told him anything, all he knew was that she was coming back to Hogwarts earlier then everyone else.

Jenna looked back at him and sighed. "I take it James hasn't told you then?" She asked.

"James? He's still at home." Sirius shrugged.

Jenna gave him a funny look. "God you really don't know do you?" At his raised eyebrow she sighed. "He came back today. He's here at Hogwarts. Probably still with Lily." She explained.

"No way! Jamesie is back!" Sirius exclaimed happily and then frowned. "Why's he with Lily? And why are they back so bloody early and together no less?" He asked.

Jenna sighed and looked away sadly. "I'm not sure if I can tell you?"

Sirius got up from his chair and walked over to her. "Why? You don't trust me?" Sirius asked.

Jenna sighed. "It's not that Sirius. It's Lily's secret to tell. I'm not sure if she would want you to know. I mean you two aren't exactly that great of friends. I'm not even sure why she's trusting James right now!" She said.

"Hey! Watch it, James is a good guy." Sirius said.

Jenna looked at him. "Sorry, but I always thought they were you know enemies." Jenna told him.

Sirius shrugged. "Naw James has a little thing for her." Sirius said truthfully. Jenna turned to him with wide eyes. He grinned sheepishly. "Opps, I don't think I was supposed to tell you that." Sirius said.

"You mean James likes Lily? James Potter likes Lily Evans?" She asked amazed.

Sirius grinned. "Yup." He told her. "But I wasn't supposed to tell anyone so lets just keeps this between us."

Jenna nodded her head. "Of course." She said.

Silence wrapped around the couple. Finally Sirius broke it. "So what's wrong with Lily, and why are they here?" He asked here.

Jenna sighed. "If I tell you Sirius you have to PROMISE, no SWEAR you won't tell a living or dead soul, you won't tell no one!!! Not Remus not you mum, not Peter, not anyone!" Jenna said.

Sirius nodded his head. "Ok I promise." Sirius said.

"Lily's been getting abused. And over the Christmas holiday's her father started to beat her worse. It got so bad she almost died. Well she accidentally flooed to James house there he found her, rushed her to the hospital and now she's here." Jenna said not going into depth about al that happened to her.

She looked away from Sirius and out the window. "What about her mother?" Sirius asked.

Jenna sighed. "Dead." She simple said.

"Well where's she gonna stay when summer gets here?" He asked. Jenna shrugged.

"I guess at Sierra's maybe, cuz she can't stay at Allison or my house because we go away for the summer and they wouldn't be that thrilled to have someone else living under there roof, no less a muggle born. I mean they don't hate them they just you know." She trailed off. "And I know she won't stay at Candy's house, because of things." Jenna explained. "So that only leaves Sierra's place, unless her parents are unable to take her, and I'm not sure if her sister would take her or not because she prejudice against our kind. And if no one's able to take her in I guess they'll send her to a foster home." Jenna said.

Sirius stayed quite for a moment thinking. "Unless James asks her to come to his house and stay. There's plenty of room in his house and his mom loves her. And his parents wouldn't mind, I know that." Sirius said.

Jenna gave him an odd look. "I don't think James would do that for her." Jenna said. Sirius shrugged.

"Then obviously you don't know James." Sirius said. Jenna looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

"Obviously I don't." She said and sighed. "Lily didn't deserve all this." She mumbled.

Sirius shrugged. "I agree with you." He said seriously. Jenna leaned back against him.

"You think she'll ever get over this?" She asked looking at over the lawns of Hogwarts as night fell upon it, and a light rain fell.

Sirius was silent. "She's a strong person." He simply said.

"Yea, but even the strongest of people can break." Jenna said quietly.

(Hospital Wing)

James sat in a chair looking at Lily. She slept peacefully for now in the safe haven of Hogwarts. But how safe would it be when all of those slimy Slytherins returned. Namely Snape and Malfoy. She was already frail and could easily be broken in her mind and spirit, if they got to her, if she wasn't already. He sighed and ran a hand through his already unruly black hair and rubbed his eyes.

"I'm won't let them hurt her, no matter what." He promised himself and her even though she couldn't hear him.

James reached out his hand and stroked her dark red hair that framed her pale face. He had yet to go and tell his friends he was back and he didn't know if Lily would want him to tell Remus considering he was her friend. And he didn't want to leave her alone, in case she had a nightmare and there was no one around to comfort her. He sighed and gently held her hand in his. Only one thought ran through his head as he slowly drifted off to sleep. He would protect her no matter what, or he would die trying.
