Hey everyone! Thanks for giving me patience. Here's the chappie I promised all of you. I'm sorry it took so long to get it up. I'm still looking for a beta reader for this story. If any of you want to be a beta please let me know.

Love ya--Amoura

The boys left the hospital wing the next day. Lily, however, did not. James asked Remus how Lily was immediately when Remus came into the Great Hall for breakfast.

"She's still unconscious," he said sadly. The matter wasn't discussed further.

They had Potions first period with the Slytherins. Sirius was in a more cheerful mood than anyone else in the group was because his little cousin had been sorted into Gryffindor House the night before. On their way to first period, Sirius's little cousin came up to them to ask Sirius where her first class, Herbology, was.

"Vega, you know James and Remus. This here is Rini and Damien. This is my cousin, Vega. We were both named after stars, obviously. I would introduce Lily, but she's not feeling well and is in the hospital wing."

"Nice to meet you," Vega said nicely. "So where's Herbology, Seery?"

"It's out on the school grounds, Vega. Go out the front doors and you should see a row of greenhouses. You want to go to the first one."

"Thanks, Seery!" and Vega was off at a run so as not to be late.

Sirius looked back at his friends and saw them snickering. "What?"

"Seery?" Rini asked and burst out laughing. "Your nickname is Seery?"

"I would prefer if you not call me that. It's only Vega who calls me that. It's only because I love her so much that I let her call me that. If any of you call me that you'll be in big trouble."

"All right, Sirius. We won't call you Seery. After this Seery," James said, getting glares from Sirius.

"Let's just go to Potions, shall we?" Damien said.

They sat in the back of Potions as was usual. Severus walked up to them with his group of friends. "So the little mudblood is still in the hospital wing, is she?"

"If you are referring to Lily, than yes, she is still in the hospital wing," Remus said sharply. "By the way, Snape, how was your stay there last night?" Severus walked away not wanting to explain to his friends what had happened.

The Potions Mistress, Professor Cauldro, came in promptly as the bell rang. She went to her desk, looked at the roll book, and smiled. She then began to call role. When she got to Lily's name and she didn't answer, she was puzzled. "Does anyone know where Miss Evans is?"

"She's at the hospital wing," Remus said, glaring at Severus.

"I hope she's okay," Cauldro said before continuing. It sounded like real concern in her voice to Remus.

The rest of the class they reviewed from last year.

In all their classes that day they reviewed from last year. When lunchtime came, Remus grabbed a few bites to eat and then went to the hospital wing. James, Rini, Sirius, Damien, and surprisingly, Peter did the same thing. Lily was still unconscious and in her muggle clothes. Her leather jacket was on a hook by the door.

Remus was in the wing for about five minutes before the others came in. As they entered, they saw Remus kissing Lily's forehead. Pretending as if they hadn't seen that, they all came in and stood around Lily. Remus was holding her hand when suddenly he gave a gasp of pain.

"What is it?" Rini asked.

Remus was trying to let go of Lily's hand but her hand was clasp to tightly on his. "It feels as if there's a small fire in her hand!" he said with shock. "Help me loose her hand from mine!"

After a few minutes they had Lily's and Remus's hands separated. Looking at his hand, Remus noticed that the center of his palm was red. He took Lily's hand and felt the center but dropped it immediately from the heat coming from it. "Someone go get Madam Pomfrey," he said urgently. Peter went and got the nurse.

"What seems to be the problem?" she asked.

"The center of Lily's hand feels as if there's a fire in her skin," Remus said.

Madam Pomfrey looked where Remus was pointing and said quietly, "That's where it was. Where did it go?" She felt Lily's hand and dropped it just as Remus had done. She did the same with Lily's other hand. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist that you all leave," She said suddenly. "Now." She ushered them out the door and closed it. Having nothing else to do, they waited in the hall till they could dome back in.

After she had shooed the others away, Madam Pomfrey had thrown some powder into the fire and called for Dumbledore. Dumbledore emerged from the fire and the nurse explained what had happened.

Walking over to Lily, he felt the palms of her hands where the spirals had been. Indeed, the spot was quite hot. After putting a coolant agent on her hands, Dumbledore put bandages around her hands. Walking over to the wing door and opening it, he saw the five boys and Rini all waiting to be allowed back in. Dumbledore left through the fire and continued to search through the books for information on this ancient magic.

Remus walked over to Lily as fast as he could with the others trailing him. He sat down in the chair beside he bed again and started stoking her hair. Strangely, it felt wet. Lily was sweating profusely. She was also slightly restless. She was moving around as if from a dream. Lily then started to talk in her sleep. "No! I won't leave you! He'll kill you! I won't leave without you! No!" Lily fell silent for a few moments. Then, quite suddenly, she screamed, "James!"

Madam Pomfrey came in when she heard Lily scream. "What on earth is going on in here?" she demanded.

Lily had stopped screaming. The others looked around uncomfortably. Then Lily started to talk again and their attention was directed towards her. "Please, not Harry. Kill me instead. Please, don't harm Harry!" Lily was pleading with someone in her sleep for the life of this person named Harry. Then, just as suddenly as she had before, she screamed a wordless scream. Lily's body went loose and she didn't appear to be breathing.

Madam Pomfrey felt for her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when she felt it. "Is she okay?" Remus asked slowly.

"She'll be okay," Madam Pomfrey said quietly. "She truly needs her rest more than anything now. I must ask you all to leave immediately."

Remus asked quickly to stay a few more minutes. Madam Pomfrey reluctantly said yes as the others left. She left and came back with a bowl of water and a rag and told Remus to wipe Lily's face since he was there. Remus did so while he kept telling Lily he loved her. Lily was in need of a shower from sweating but Remus didn't care. Madam Pomfrey came in a few minutes later and told him he would have to go. He stood up, kissed Lily's forehead, and then left.

They had Herbology next so Remus got the proper books and then left for the greenhouses. Remus and James were uncomfortable the rest of the day.

After Remus had left, Madam Pomfrey had called Dumbledore back to the infirmary. "Well," he said after hearing what had happened, "at least she's gained consciousness. Even if she hasn't woken up yet." He decided to stay in the infirmary so he could be witness to anything else that might happen.
