AN: Sorry that this took sooo long, I have been a bit busy with school (and book gathering) hope you enjoy, I am working on the next chapter already

Disclaimer: I do not own the book, just the plot idea that follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a nice day out side, sunny and warm, and the teenagers who were gathered around the lake that Saturday morning were enjoying it. Lily was laying on a rock next to James looking up at the clear blue sky, noting could get better than this she thought. But as the world often likes to prove happy people who think that very thought wrong, a shadow fell over her face.

"Oh look at the lovely scene, the mudblood whore and her patrons" Said a sinister voice from above her.

Severus was glaring down at her, she was stunned she did not know what to say to that. She had just been openly called a whore and a mudblood, she was horrified, stunned and furious. James leapt up whipping out his wand as he did and thrust it in to the greasy haired boy's face. Sirius, Remus and Peter soon followed while Mora helped Lily up.

"How dare you say that to her, you greasy, disgusting, ignorant fool" James practically spat in to Severus' face.

"I see that you do not deny that she is in fact a whore" He said, but at the same time taking a few steps back from James and his friends.

James began to perform one of the newest charms he learned, one that had to do with excruciatingly painful rashes, but a hand reached out and grabbed his wrist. He looked to see who stooped him and found himself staring in green eyes fiery with anger.

"He's not worth it, he will never learn to be anything other then an ignorant prat." Lily said turning and trying to walk away with as much dignity she could muster. James glared at Severus and reluctantly turned to follow his girlfriend.

"Lily, he was just trying to be mean" Remus stated trying to reassure her that no one thought so lowly of her.

"I know Remus"

"He is such a obtuse and daft jerk" Mora said in a comforting tone.

"Yes I Know"

"He was just trying to provoke us" Sirius said

"I know that as well" Lily said as Mora complemented Sirius for sounding half way intelligent.

"Lily I am sorry, he-" James started to comment before Lily cut him off

"I KNOW. OK. I'M FINE. LEAVE ME ALONE" Lily yelled running off ahead of them and up to the dorm as Mora began to follow.

"Why did she get angry?" Sirius asked but all he got in response was Remus silently shaking his head as a silent James was followed by a comforting Peter.

-----------

Remus was trying to explain to Sirius the complexity of the female mind while Peter talked James threw possible apologies as they walked towards their dorm. A few feet from the portrait of the fat lady they saw Mora sitting on the floor.

"What's wrong?" James asked worried that something had happened to Lily

"Nothing, I'm just giving her some time while I think of something to say." Mora answered as the four of them sat down next to her.

"You cant think of something to say?" Sirius said getting an elbow to the side from Remus.

"Just go see how she is" Peter offered.

"Yeah, we want to make sure that she is ok" James said.

"I still have that enchanted parchment you gave me, just write to tell me what the status is on the 'wilting Lily' "Sirius said quite proud that he came up with a plan.

" 'wilting Lily'?" Remus questioned

"It seams like a perfectly understandable code name" Sirius said in his own defense.

---------------

"Lily?" Mora asked quietly walking in to their room. She heard a mumble coming from behind the drawn curtains of Lily's bed. A few seconds latter the curtains parted and Lily's face appeared.

"I don't know why I got so angry" She stated.

"It's alright" Mora said sitting across from Lily on her own bed. "You've been hanging out with them so much you were bound to catch a bit of their craziness" Mora said with a laugh in her voice, she hoped that she could just joke her way threw this one.

Lily smiled and pushed the curtains aside, she looked up at Mora a bit saddened

"I knew what everyone was saying" She said as Mora nodded along "I just, I don't know. The fact that he called me that just because is am dating someone who he hates…" Lily said trying to find a way to voice her frustrations.

"I just hate it when he acts like such a child, and now here I get called a mudblood and a whore for dating him" Lily sat there for a minute and looked over at Mora with a serious look on her face.

"Can I ask you a question?" Lily asked her.

"Of course" Mora said

"Do you get their nick names?" Mora looked socked, that was not the question she was expecting but the thought about it for a moment.

"No not really"

"I don't either, and they have 'meetings' or whatever and they wouldn't let me come, or tell me what they do" Lily thought for a moment before adding " And it's not just prank stuff, sometimes all four of them have to 'study' for a test that is a week away and I can never find them, and I know they didn't study"

Mora thought for a moment. "Lily, James would never cheat on you"

"I know, but that is honestly not what i am thinking. They are up to something and they wont tell me what. They are constantly pulling pranks and I cant get them in to trouble, but I have to. They bully the younger kinds but they think they can act offended when some one bullies me" Lily stopped, she had said it. She finally realized what was getting her so worked up. She was tired, of the secrets, of covering for them, and now the way they have double standers.

"But Lily making fun of Severus' greasy hair, or a second years' old robes is not the same as calling you a whore and a mudblood" Mora said.

"He has called me a mudblood before" Lily said almost defending him

"But never in that tone. Nor has he called you a whore." Mora looked at her friend, she had no idea what Lily was going threw, while it was just name calling to a gentle and soft-hearted girl like Lily words hurt forever.

"I don't know who I am more angry at Severus or James" Lily stated crossing her arms and leaning back on her bed giving it real thought. "I know I can't really blame James, I know that…." lily said getting lost in her own thoughts yet again.

"Lily, Lil…" Mora said after her friends had not said anything after a few minutes

"What-- oh yeah, I'm gonna take a nap ok" Lily said laying back on her bed. Mora got up and closed the curtains around her friend and walked over to her desk where her piece of enchanted parchment was.

She knew the boys were gathered around the piece she gave Sirius a few months ago when they first were trying to get James and Lily together, but she didn't know what to tell them. Lily was stuck between loving a childish teen, and wanting to change him. She was stuck between loving his pranks and having to discipline the other students. She was being intimidated because she was dating James.

But out of all of the things she thought she could write to help make James understand one question that Lily asked stuck in her mind.

-----------------

Remus and James where still sitting at Sirius' desk staring at the same bit of parchment for the last half hour.

"I know they are girls, but how long can they talk about something?" James asked. Sirius was sitting on his bed flipping threw a 'witches wow' magazine while Peter finished him Charms essay having given up on the long awaited message from Mora.

Finally, when James was just about to make up his mind to go storming over to the girls' side of the dorm letters began to appear on the parchment.

"What ---do---- your--" Remus read out loud as an invisible hand wrote them. "nick---names----mean?"

" What?" Sirius asked having not really paid any attention.

"What do your nick names mean?" James repeated. Remus looked up at James

"You can tell her, I trust Lily. I don't mind" Remus said, he didn't want his secret to get in the way of Lily and James.

"I know, but I think it's more than that" James said knowing he kept more than just his' friend's secret from her. He never once even thought about how much he never told her, that he kept from her.

'what do your nick names mean?'

That one question, it was more than Mora probably even realized. To him it was more than just a question about names, or even about the secret he and the other three marauders had been keeping from Lily, it was all that he kept from her, that he didn't want to bother her with but apparently had anyway.

'what do your nick names mean?'
