Chapter 4

Lily woke with a start, she had just woken from a bad dream where Petunia was laughing at her Greg had beaten her, James looked scandalized and she was left with a huge pregnant belly and nobody wonted to know her.

"Don't be stupid Lily" Lily thought to her self it was nothing but a bad dream. Lily looked over at the bedside table and groaned, she hated getting up early but today was very important and Lily had no choice. Lily sat up and found her clothes and through them on she walked quietly past Christy's room (Lily never new weather she was along or not in there) and went into the crowded kitchen and started to make breakfast for herself.

As Lily sat down at the table and looked at the real-estate section of yesterdays Daily Prophet and sighed it had been two weeks and still no houses that were remotely suitable. There had been a couple that her and Christy had gone and seen but Lily didn't like any of them and not to mention they had been thrown out of two because Christy told them they were low life scum because they wouldn't let young people buy there house.

Lily sighed; she'll be going back to Hogwarts with no house to come back to when her belly got to big, but not having a house wasn't what was bothering Lily the most, today would be the first time she had set foot in St Mungo's since she found out she was pregnant and to make things worse she would be meeting people that are probably from Hogwarts that know her.

Lily got up from the table and put her dishes in the sink and grabbed her bag and made a move to the front door.

"DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE WITHOUT ME" Lily whipped around to find a half dressed Christy climbing down the stairs looking angry and exhausted.

"And where do you think your going" Christy said as she landed in front of Lily glaring at her.

"Well I didn't wont to wake you" Lily said as she stifled a laugh.

"Don't you think for one second that I don't know what day it is today, and why are you going so early"?

"Well Chris, I was just having another look at yesterdays Daily Prophet and there is a house that we must have over looked yesterday and it's open this morning, so I was thinking that if I went early I would be able to have a look at it and go to the meeting straight afterwards" Lily finished looking at Christy still struggling to put her shirt on.

"Well give us two minuets" Christy ran back up stairs and out of site

Lily smiled to her self she new that Christy would do any thing for her and it really meant a lot to her when she said she would come.

Lily herd footsteps coming down the stairs and absentmindedly yelled over her shoulder.

"Chris you take longer to get ready then my dead aunt" Lily laughed as she turned round.

Lily screamed in shock and jumped back onto the table, the person on the stairs leapt back and screamed in shock at the sight of Lily and fell down the stairs in a kind of clumsy somersault loosing the towel as they went and landing at Lily's feet sprawled out on the cold tiled floor.

Lily covered her eyes in shock at the naked boy in front of her she didn't know who it was but honestly didn't care.

"SIRIUS" Christy's scream made Lily come back to her senses she withdraw her hand from her face at lightning speed and stared down at the naked form of Sirius Black sprawled at her feet with the towel centimetres from his hand. Lily couldn't help her self she lost it, she laughed so hard she fell of the table and landed right next to Sirius still laughing, Lily was laughing so hard she thought she was going to wet her self, it wasn't until Christy came rushing over that it dawned on her, Lily stoped laughing as Christy helped get the embarrassed form of Sirius Black off the floor, Lily got up and went over to help.

Lily didn't know which face was redder Christy's or Sirius's. As Lily and Christy help Sirius onto a chair in the kitchen Lily helped him into his seat before walking over grabbing the towel and handing it back to him, Sirius stared at Lily before it dawned on him, he grabbed the towel rapidly, and covered him self turning a deeper shade of crimson.

"I didn't see any thing" Lily said as she held her hands up in her defence, Sirius looked up at her "But I have to admit that I did think you were a little bigger" Sirius turned an even more deeper shade of red if that was possible, Christy yelled at Lily but Lily thought that it was too perfecter opportunity to miss and just sunk to the floor laughing again.

"Lily stop it" Christy snapped as Sirius went up stairs to put some clothes on "He's embarrassed enough, you don't need to rub it in" Lily stopped laughing and stared up at Christy

"So you and the infamous Sirius Black" Lily cocked an eyebrow at Christy and Christy turned away obviously to embarrassed to look Lily in the eyes "Don't worry I'm not going to judge on it" Lily said quickly looking at her friend "You know me and you can talk about anything"

"I know but I thought you would make fun of me because he's James best friend" Christy said this with her kind warmth back

"Oh I am" Lily said laughing at Christy, Christy looked at her best friend and laughed

"You do know it was kind of funny the way he screamed and fell as well as loosing his towel" Christy said and both girls exploded with laughter and fell to the floor laughing. It wasn't until a deafening scream hit them that both girls were shocked back to reality.

Lily and Christy hit the stairs running and didn't stop until they reached the closed door of Christy's room from which the screaming was coming from.

"Sirius what's wrong, what's happened" Christy said as she pounded at her door hysterically.

"I'll go and find the key" Lily ran down to the lounge and found the tub of keys next to the fire and grabbed the tub and ran back up to Christy's room.

When Lily got back up to the landing she heard the voices of Christy and Sirius inside but before she could knock or do any thing else Christy's head pocked out.

"We need James now" Lily looked at Christy curiously, but before she could protest Christy's head had disappeared, Lily grumbled and went to walk back down the stairs but before she got to the end of the landing Christy's head reappeared.

"Can you also get some ice too please" Christy mouthed a thank you and ducked back into the room.

Christy wasn't widely known for her magical talents but new that Lily could produce nearly any thing with a wand. So with a quick wave of her wand Lily produced a bowl full of non-melting ice, Lily knocked on the door and as soon as Christy's head appeared it disappeared just as fast and was followed by a piecing scream.

Lily wonted to help but new she had to do as she was told, so she went down to the fire in the lounge grabbed some Flu powder got down on her knees, through the powder into the empty fire place and stuck her head in as the emerald green flames licked the side of her face and yelled clearly.

"The Potter Mansion" Lily's head felt like it had done a complete three-sixty and not to mention the morning sickness she felt only got four times worse with every second she was in the fire, But before she new it she was looking in an old room that was decorated with antique furniture and priceless pictures. If it weren't for the gasp from the corner of the room Lily would have stared at the paintings and pictures forever.

Lily turned slightly and saw a very harassed looking Remus Lupin staring open mouthed at her, lily didn't have time to explain she was already breathless and her knees hurt from being on the ground so long.

"I-I-I-I need to see James," she panted "Quickly" she said trying to sound urgent. Remus didn't need telling twice he ran so fast out of the room that Lily didn't have time to even get her breath back before Remus come running back in with James at his heels looking absolutely petrified.

"Lily what's wrong, is everything ok why-" But James never got to finish his sentence because Lily was in too much of a hurry and she didn't fancy Greg finding her hear.

"We need you at Christy's house now" she said looking at both of the boys.

"Ok" James said as he immediately got up and made his way to the left of the fire place and returned with a hand full of glittering powder.

"Remus" Lily breathed "You'd better come to we might need your help as well" and with that Lily withdraw her head from the fire and got up gingerly rubbing her knees, "Boy does that hurt after a while" Lily thought just as the fire erupted and two boys came shooting out of it, both with dust and soot all over there robes and there robes askew. Lily didn't have time to fart ass around she waited till the boys were on there feet before she gestured for them to follow her.

As the trio came up to the landing Lily herd Sirius's deafening scream again then a thump and then silence, Lily didn't need telling twice that somebody was hurt, lily took the next set of stairs at a run and two sets of foot steps behind her told Lily that James and Remus were both behind her. When Lily got to the landing she took her wand out and saw Christy on the floor out side her room and the door was locked but the keys were no where to be seen.

"Chris are you alright" Lily ran over to her and sat next to her giving her a once over with her eyes.

"I'm alright" Christy said as she got up Gingerly "that Dick head through me out of the room and took the keys" Christy's eyes travelled from Lily's face to the panting figures of James and Remus behind her.

"Sirius is in there but he wont tell us what is the matter but some thing is seriously wrong" Christy looked at James and Remus as she said this but pointed to the door "It's locked so if you can get in there go for it"

"IT'S BROKEN" they head Sirius scream and all were jolted back the there senses. "OH MY GOD IT'S BROKEN"

"I'll go in first Remus if I need you I'll yell" James made for the door and nocked but all you could here was the sound of Sirius sobbing. James withdrew his wand and muttered Alohomora, the door creaked open and James slide inside taking a quick glance at Lily, Remus and Christy.

"How long do you think they're going to be in there for"? Christy asked looking at Lily.

"Would have no idea" Lily was passing now, she couldn't just stand there when she thought something was seriously wrong with Sirius and she had laughed at him.

They were waiting out side the door before James stepped out looking grave.

"What's wrong with him" Christy said as she started into hysterics again.

James held his hand up for silence "We need to take him to St Mungo's" Christy looked as if she was going to have a nervous breakdown, Remus looked at James with his penetrating gaze and nodded and Lily looked horrified and now she felt even worse because she laughed at him and now it was serious.

The group trudged out of the house, Lily in the lead followed by Remus who was being followed by James and Christy who were supporting a very white Sirius.

"Shall we just call the night bus?" Lily said as she stood on tip toes to direct her question at James, James nodded and stopped.

Lily through out her wand hand and before they new it a great big purple bus was driving towards them. The conductor jumped out but before he had time to say anything Lily jumped up on the bus and waved for everybody else to follow.

"We need to go to St Mungo's NOW"

"Well I'm sorry Miss but your going to have to wait, we have three passengers in front of you"

Lily turned to the conductor grabbed the front of his robes pulled him close and whispered in to his ear "My friend is hurt, I missed out on going to see a house this morning and I feel like crap, don't mess with me" Lily shoved the conductor backwards and gave him one last glare before she made her way up to the front of the bus where her friends were waiting for her.

"Right-o St Mungo's Ern"

"How did you get that kid to put us to the front of the line?" Remus said as they hurried into the crowded entrance hall of St Mungo's

"Powers of persuasion" Lily said as she winked at him over her shoulder.

Sirius was admitted to hospital straight away and James accompanied him.

"Hey Lil's do you think it's to late to go to your meeting" Christy said as she looked over at Lily

"Don't know" Lily said taking a glance over at Remus who was asking the reception witch something, "There was no time on the sheet, do you think I should go over there and ask" Lily said as she swivelled in her seat to get a better look at Christy

"Well there's no reason why we can't, I think Sirius and James are going to be a little while anyways, so if we go and see and don't like it we can just leave and pretend we were here the whole time" Christy said this with restored calm as she made to get up. Lily just nodded and they both got up together and made there way to the reception witch.

"Can I help you dears" The witch looked at them and as if she could read minds she pointed to the door on the left, which read,

Grizilda Marchbanks, Head Healer

Lily and Christy stared in shock,

"Don't worry toots we get a lot of your type in here, the meeting starts in 3 minuets" and with that she returned to reading her Witch Weekly. Lily and Christy didn't need telling twice they made there way quickly over to the door on the left and went straight in.

Lily gasped in shock, the room was the grandest room she had ever been in, there were moving paintings, about 6 soft arm chairs, Persian carpets, ancient furniture and In the very corner was the most beautiful desk Lily had ever seen, it had gold trimming and on the top it had the name tag in gold which read

Grizilda Marchbanks, Head Healer

The witch sitting behind the desk looked up and saw the two girls standing there and smiled.

"Well I do have to say you are cutting this a bit fine my-dear but you're here all the same, so have a seat" Grizilda Marchbanks gestured to the soft armchairs in front of her.

"Excuse me, Miss Marchbanks, are wear is everybody else" Lily said with a small voice.

'Are dear don't worry about that there already gone so it's just you and me and your friend here"

"So what are your plans for the future" Grizilda looked at Lily with a penetrating stare and Lily felt as if she could read her thoughts.

"Well I-I-I- hav-"

"She is going back to Hogwarts until further notice" Lily whipped round and stared at the figure of Albus Dumbledore who was standing in the doorway of the room.

"Albus good to see you, but I dare say that this is a private meeting between myself and Miss Evans here"

"Yes I under stand that Grizilda but I must have a very important word with Miss Evans here regarding her future state" Dumbledore stared at Grizilda Marchbanks and she new she had been beaten.

"Miss Evans if you wish to go with Professor Dumbledore you may but if you wish to stay here you more than welcome, but I must stress that if you wish to go with Professor Dumbledore my doors will not be open again"

Lily thought about it for a moment but came to a decision soon after.

"It's alright Lady Marchbanks I'll go with the Professor, but thank you for all your help"

Lily and Christy exchanged confused looks but got up and followed Dumbledore out of the office, giving an angry Grizilda Marchbanks a courteous nod and then hurried after Dumbledore.

Lily and Christy had to almost run to keep up with Dumbledore, he was speeding so fast up the hallway that the only thing they could do to keep up with him was to half jog half speed walk. Dumbledore stopped out the front of a large oak door and waited for Christy and Lily.

"Please Miss Evans I hope you will excuse me for not coming to see you before, but I will say you are one hard lady to catch up with" Dumbledore smiled as he said this.

"That's alright Professor, if I may ask what are you doing here"

Dumbledore pondered the question for a second before he turned to the girls.

"Miss Evans do you not want to come back to school"

"No, I do I very much want to go back to school but—

"Well Miss Evans I don't see why you can't, offcourse there will be a slight problem but I'm sure we can smooth that out at a later date"

Lily gapped at him, she was completely gob smacked.

How does he No?

Did Remus tell him, Did Remus tell any one else?

"Miss Evans please, I know because I keep certain tabs on certain students that run away from home" He raised his eyebrows and gave a quick smile at Lily before he keep going with what he said, "And you can rest assure that Mr Lupin did not tell me any thing, it was your father that contacted me because he felt for your safety"

Lily looked confused at Dumbledore and then nodded.

"But Professor what about my condition"

"What condition would that be Miss Evans, I'm sure pregnancy isn't a medical condition and if there is a medical condition that you have that means you can't come to Hogwarts then please tell me" Dumbledore looked at Lily through his sparkling blue eyes and smiled.

"I have also gone to the trouble of finding you house that would be perfect for you and the new little one" Lily couldn't speak she just looked at Dumbledore completely speechless nobody in her life had ever been this kind, except maybe Lily's father.

"But Prof—

"There is no need to thank me Lily, and there is no need to give me any money because your father has already tied that up for you and I expect to see you at school tomorrow, well if there is nothing else to discuss I must be getting back, I have a lot to be doing before tomorrow" And with that Dumbledore bowed to Lily and Christy and left.

"Well now I guess we didn't need to go and look at that house" Lily gave Christy a was-that-supposed-to-be-funny look but it made Lily laugh non-the less.

"I guess your right, I do wonder wether Sirius and James are out yet" Lily and Christy laughed and left the room.

"Well Mr Black can I possible ask how you did this" Sirius was surrounded by a waist high curtain with nothing but his shirt on while the male healer gave him a questioning look.

"Well it's like I told you, I was coming down the stairs when I got a fright by someone standing in the kitchen— SHUT IT JAMES"

James couldn't help himself he doubled over laughing at Sirius who was going a steadier shade of red

"Please Mr Potter if you can't contain your self I'm going to have to ask you to leave"

"No, I'm sorry I'll be good I promise" James gave one last stifled laugh then looked at Sirius with a smirk.

"Please continue Mr Black"

Sirius gave James one last glance then continued his story

"I then fell down the stairs and the towel that I had been wearing came off and I landed face down" Sirius looked away and turned red again

The healer gave him one last questioning look then told him he could put his clothes back on.

"Now Mr Black I'm going to give you this potion I wont you to take it twice a day for two weeks, now don't worry about the size of the bottle it refills it's self until the prescription runs out, now the thing I must stress the most is that you must give it complete rest" the healer looked sternly at Sirius before continuing "Now here are the rules: No sex, NO self Gratification and No sexual stimulants OK" "well that should be about it then, here's the potion just come back and see me in two weeks, and don't worry about school I'll give you this note which will allow you to come and see me especially, OK now that's it well I'll see you in two weeks" And with that he left

"Sirius mate you going to be alright, there is no need to look like you mother just died" James looked over at Sirius and smirked again.

"What are you smirking about" James stopped smirking and looked over at Sirius and laughed

"It's not funny Prongs, NO sex I'm going to die"

"You'll be fine, the only thing you have to think about when you start to feel like sex is Snape in a G string" Sirius made a reaching noise and nearly puked up on James, James jumped back roaring with laughter and then he left the room before Sirius could kill him.

As James left the room he looked down the hall and saw Professor Dumbledore saying good-bye to Lily and Christy down in the birthing ward, confused James stayed were he was but continued to listen to any conversation they might be having. It was only when James saw Dumbledore coming up the hallway to him that he pretended to look the other way.

"Mr Potter" Dumbledore whispered into James ear "May I have a quick word to you" James nodded and followed Dumbledore back into the room were Sirius was.

Luckily Sirius was just doing his belt up when they walked in.

"My dear Mr Black I do apologize, I didn't know you were in here" Dumbledore looked away.

"It's alright Professor, Nothing you haven't seen before right" Sirius raised his eyebrows and smiled, Dumbledore gave Sirius a raised eyebrow glance but smiled at non-the less.

"Well I was hoping to talk to the both of you anyway" "Now Mr Potter it is my understanding that you and your friends played a trick on Miss Evans" James looked at Dumbledore ready to protest but Dumbledore held his hand up to quieten them "Sometimes people keep secrets from you in order to protect you and other times it's just easier than telling the truth, but what ever the reason you had no right to do that to her" Dumbledore just looked at them both. James wished he would start yelling, he hated it when Dumbledore didn't yell or raise his voice.

"But Professor

"Mr Potter under normal circumstances I would wont to punish you servery but in this case I think it would be better if nothing was said, but do not under any circumstances say any thing to Miss Evans un less she is willing to tell you her self" James looked at Dumbledore and nodded, Dumbledore turned to Sirius and Sirius nodded to.

"Now Mr Potter would you be kind enough to tell your other friends as well, thank you" and with that Dumbledore left the boys to wonder.

James and Sirius left the hospital room and made there way to the waiting room were Christy and Lily were both sitting waiting for them but Remus was no were to be found.

"Where's Remus" James asked looking around the room.

"Down in the animal ward" Lily said absentmindedly

"Oh OK, so what do you guys want to do now" James said looking around at every body.

"Well I have to pack and move it my new home, so I guess that's me out" Lily said this as she got up.

"Well we have nothing better to do so why don't we go and help you" James said looking hopeful.

"Well I guess It can't hurt, but it's only if you want to"

"Oh we do" James said a little to enthusiastically.

"Speak for your self" Sirius hissed under his breath

"What about Remus" Christy said looking around for there friend

"Don't worry about him, I left a note at the front desk as soon as they see him they will give it to him" Lily said as she got up and made her way to the front door.

"Whole Shit!"

"It is rather big isn't it" Lily looked up at the house and stared in admiration

"And this is all yours" Sirius said looking up at the house

"Yes my dad bought it for me, when me and mum had that fight"

"Well why are we waiting out here, lets go in and have a look, Lily after you" James opened the little gate and waited for Lily to pass through. The house had a country feel about it but wasn't to far away from the city either, it had vines growing up the front and had an old tiled roof with a chimney perched on top. The door was hard wood door that looked over a hundred years old and on the front had a Gryffindore lion as a doorknocker, there were perfectly groomed hedges and green grass everywhere and the back yard could have fitted two Quidditch pitches in it and right in the middle of the back yard was a fountain that had a giant lion in the middle that looked like it was roaring up instead on sound there was water.

"Hey Lily what do they call this place" James said as he turned to look at Lily

Lily pulled out a peace of paper that had long curvy righting on it.

"Godric's Hollow"

So there it is Chapter 5 is in the making
