The next morning James and Remus woke up to loud banging noises coming from the girl's room. They both got up and stumbled into the girl's room finding Claire and Ella half-dressed standing in jeans and bra. The girls don't really mind that the boys can see them because they are now use to them walking in on them all the time.

"What's with all the noise?" James asked as he fell onto Lily's empty bed and Remus doing the same on Ella's. The girls finished getting dressed.

"We are going to go see Sirius and Lily. Why aren't you dressed?" Claire said rushing around the room. While Ella tried to make up her bed around Remus. When she failed she gave up and left him to go brush her teeth.

"Well, first of all: it is six o'clock, second: Madam Pomfery will not let you in at this time anyway, and third: why are you dressed like that?" he replied not even looking at her as he was now ruffling his hair.

"Well, first of all: who cares what time it is? Second: when has that ever stopped you from getting passed her and any other teacher for that matter and third: Professor Dumbledore said that we can have the day off to spend it with Lily and Sirius." Claire mocked, wondering how thick her brother could be.

"Do we get the day off too?" James asked hopefully, wanting to spend the day with his friends and not in classes.

"Yes, now hurry up" Ella said walking into the room and rolling Remus off her bed.

"Ok, we're going just stop poking" Remus complained as he and James left the room to get changed. Fifteen minutes the boys were just finished dressing themselves and waking up when Claire barged into the room.

"HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TWO TO GET DRESSED? Jeez, you think you were a bunch of girls" she yelled pushing the boys out into the common room towards the door.

"I will remember that the next time there is a Ball" James mumbled to the couple behind him causing them to giggle silently.

"What was that?" Claire asked getting very annoyed.

"Nothing" he answered smiling innocently to his sister but that never worked with her.

Without warning Claire launched towards her brother and tried to harm him in any way possible. She missed her boyfriend and she wanted to see him badly. Nothing was going to get in her way. James finally unpeeled her legs from his waist and set her down on the floor again. He didn't get out of it unscratched. He now had a bleeding cheek from Claire's nails.

"Well at least now we have an extra reason to go to the hospital wing." Remus said as James glared at him and Ella tried not to laugh but all that came out was snorts.

They made their way down to the hospital whispering to each other. They snuck in and were half-way to Lily and Sirius' bed when Madam Pomfery caught them.

"It's your stupid heels" James muttered to Claire pointing to her boots.

"Shut up"

"Make me" he retorted

"Later"

"I highly doubt that"

"I promise you"

"What are you four doing here?" Madam Pomfery asked stopping James from replying to his sisters threat.

"James cut himself shaving" Claire said first "and I wanted to bring him down here because he is my brother and I love him" she smiled sweetly while squeezing James' arm, urging him to go along with it.

Behind them Remus and Ella were trying to hide their laughing. They were sitting on the floor trying to suppress the laugh that wanted to come out.

"Ok, but what about those two?" the nurse questioned looking at Remus and Ella position on the floor.

"Well, we couldn't leave them alone now could we?" James said looking down at the very amused.

"Very well, follow me" she led the group over to the corner, two beds down from Lily's. James sat on the bed and his cheek was healed.

"Madam Pomfery can we please she Sirius and Lily now?" Claire asked getting impatient. She did not come to the hospital wing to watch her brother be healed of a cut that she gave him.

"I knew there was another reason. I guess you can seeing as though you are already here, but don't get them too excited. They have been through enough." She said ushering them towards the closed curtains and left.

Before they went in they heard mumbling. They listen closely for a minute before poking their heads in. they saw Lily fidgeting in her bed. She looked unsettled and James was at her side straight away. "She is having a nightmare" he thought.

Not another moment went by when Lily sat up straight in her bed panting, waking Sirius up. They were both looking around wildly but when they saw that their friends were there to cheer them up they relaxed enormously.

"Good Morning. Did you two sleep well?" Ella asked as Sirius sat up in his bed as Claire snuggled close to him, but trying not to hurt him in the process.

"Kind of" he answered "but I am heaps better now" he said looking down at Claire who looked so peaceful in his arms.

"What about you Lily?" Remus asked sitting down on a chair with Ella on his lap.

"I had a bit of a rough night" she answered quietly. The sound of Madam Pomfery pulling back the curtains scared lily and she was on James' lap in an instant, shaking.

"I'm sorry but you two need to take you potions and I am sorry I scared you Lily" the medi-witch said leaving again.

"Lily, are you okay? You are shaking" James asked worried as he held Lily who buried her head in his chest and breathed in his manly sent.

"Yeah, I guess." She said before taking her potion.

"You don't know how good it is to have you two back again. I have been so bored." Claire exclaimed with a hint of relief in her voice.

"Yeah, we missed you guys heaps as well" Lily answered trying to take her mind off what happened the previous day.

There were two conversations going on in the room. The girls were now on Lily's bed doing her hair, nails and just filling her in on all the gossip she missed out on. Lily was grateful that they didn't ask questions, because even she was still adjusting to it, and didn't really want to face it anytime soon.

"They understand that I will them soon enough" she thought.

Sirius was filling the guys in on some of his new ideas for pranks to get back at the Slytherins. James and Remus thought it was a great idea and promised that he could plan the whole thing.

"Wait!" Claire interrupted everyone's conversation to ask something.

"Now that you guys are back this means that you don't need to go back home for Christmas because you already went." She thought aloud as everyone exchanged looks around the room. Lily was now silent and wasn't really sure what to say.

When no one said anything Sirius opened his mouth

"Well, I suppose but it is up to Lily. She can decide what she wants to do."

Lily thought that now would be the perfect time to tell everyone what happened while they were away and what new information they found out.

"Well, I was kind of thinking that I could go visit my real sister for Christmas and get to know her" Lily said now very fascinated with the bed sheets.

"Oh, no" Ella said as tears welled up in her eyes and she leaned over to hug Lily. Lily returned the hug gladly as she was feeling the need for a little comforting.

"Tell us what happened" Claire said sympathetically as she also put her arm around Lily for a short hug before Lily started the story.

"I will sum it up for you guys. We went there and sat down. They told us that when I was born on the same day as Sirius by muggle parents…" she stopped and looked over to Sirius who looked slightly ashamed of himself. James gave her a smile urging her to continue.

"Mr. and Mrs. Black stole me from my real parents in the hospital because they said that there is or was a prophecy that one day me and someone else will lead to the downfall of Voldemort."

"Did they tell you who that other person was?" Remus asked sitting up straighter in his chair.

"James Potter" she sighed and looked at James who was shocked. Everyone in the room went silent and looked in James' direction.

"Are you sure?" Claire asked, thinking Lily was just tired and stressed.

"She is telling the truth" Sirius said from his bed as the others turned to look at him with confused expressions.

"So, what about your real parents? Were they those people in the Daily Prophet?" James questioned finally saying something.

Sirius answered for lily as she looked like she was going to burst into tears any minute

"When the Blacks found out that the Evans were trying to find their long lost daughter, they realized that it might cause a bit of drama so they killed them. Lucky for Lily, she still has a sister that is alive, but that still doesn't compare to the parents that she never got to meet."

At this moment Lily pulled her knees up to her chest and started crying but when others tried to comfort her it didn't work. She didn't want anyone near her except for James. He sat down on her bed and lifted her into his lap and once again she cried into his chest while he rubbed her back. Everyone sat on the other side of the room talking leaving Lily and James alone for a few minutes.

"James, do you still love me?" she asked after she settled down a bit.

"Of course I do. Why would you ask a question like that?" he asked still rubbing her back

"Because I don't even know who I am anymore and…. I don't know" she answered her voice fading away and she looked down at her hands in her lap.

"I know who you are. You are Lily. The smartest girl I have ever met and the first person to help me with a charm and I got it right on the first turn…" she smiled to herself but no one could she until James out his hand under her chin and lifted it up so she was now looking straight into his eyes. "You are the most beautiful girl on the planet and you are the girl that I love. What more do you need to know?" he looked down at her as silent tears slid down her face.

"I have so many questions"

"Like…"

"Like is Lily my real name? What is my last name? How old were my parent when they had me? How old is my sister? Do I have a big family? Are my grandparents still alive? What is my background? Is there anyone in my family with magical ability? Are they still alive? See all these questions, and don't have an answer to any of them. I need answers or I will go insane" she said massaging her temples.

"I think I can help you with that..." a voice answered by the door.
