AN: Hi, sorry it's been so long, I had to move… and all by myself!! Any way, here it is, I have strayed a bit from my original plot, but I think it will all be fine

Disclaimer: as every time before, I do not own Harry Potter, if I did Allan Rickman would be on screen much more often.

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

Mora, Peter and Remus were trying to sneak down the hall, but they had one problem: they where very noticeable. Lily and James were speaking in hushed voices in the corner and the three of them wanted to know what they were saying.

"Can't you do that spell were their voices are amplified?" Peter asked Remus as Mora shoved him further down the hall using him as a shield.

"Everyone would hear them then, and where did Sirius go?" Remus asked hiding behind Mora, who was still crouched behind Peter.

"He said something about a jacket- I don't know" Mora said

"I said I was going to get the inevitability cloak, I cant believe that you didn't think about this before Remus, and they say you're the smart one" Sirius' voice said grabbing Mora and Peter's arm pulling them around the corner as Remus followed smiling at Mora's confused expression.

She looked around, even above her but couldn't see him anywhere, finally he slipped the hood of the cloak back reveling his head.

Mora almost let out a scream as she jumped behind Remus, Sirius' head was floating down the hall!

Sirius stifled a laugh as he threw the cloak over all of them.

"Mora you have to get closer, everyone in the hall can still see your legs" Remus said pulling her towards the three of them. Mora stared in wonder: she was invisible; this was the coolest thing ever, and it explained why they seemed to get away with everything.

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

They were getting close, Mora was trying her best to keep up with the others, they had to stay silent and close if they wanted to pull this off in front of James, the king of pranks.

"James, I am not upset about that. I am glad that you don't want to tell me Remus' secret. I just… I am getting to tired of always being in the middle. I know I said I would never try to change you and I am really trying hard to stay true to that…"

Lily stopped, she didn't really know how to tell him she didn't want to force him to change but she wanted him to change.

"Lily, I love you I would do anything for you." James said, Lily looked up at his shocked but he didn't understand why that would be so confusing.

"James, you've never said that, never out loud in so many words" Lily was happy, she always got the feeling that James loved her, that this relationship they were in was based on more than just mutual attraction.

"Well I do love you, and I want you to love me" James said looking down, if only he could change, if he was the man Lily wanted, then she would love him back.

"James, I do love you. I… I love you the way that you are, true I wish some things about you were different, but I love you non the less." Lily said. She though she heard an 'aww' come from behind her but when she turned no one was there.

Sirius elbowed Mora in the side to get her to be quite, sure that was 'sweet' or whatever but he wanted to know what James and Lily were going to do now.

"Lily, I will try, I would do anything for you." James said, it was time for him to grow up, and he wanted to be the man that Lily loved, and not the boy that pestered her day and night.

"James, I want you to want to try for your own reasons and not just for me" Lily said.

Sirius looked over at Mora and mouthed ' I want you to want' with a questioning look on his face. Mora just rolled her eyes, she didn't understand why boys couldn't understand girl-talk, it was not all that hard.

"I am, don't worry" James said wrapping his long arms around Lily dragging her closer to him in a tight hug. "I love you" he whispered in to her hair.

"We should go" Lily said "the others are probably out searching the castle for us"

"Yeah I bet they are" James said looking right at the four of them hiding behind the cloak.

Sirius and Remus tried their best to drag Mora and Peter away as quickly as they could, but James caught the end of the invisibility cloak and reviled the four of them in a huddle trying to look inconspicuous.

"Guys, how did you think you were going to get away with using the invisibility cloak on me, and Mora, I didn't expect to find you with them" James said in a rather patronizing tone.

"Um…well" Sirius said looking at James as if her were a teacher and Sirius was caught red-handed.

"We just wanted to make sure that--" Remus began.

"I mean when we couldn't find you we started to look for casualties" Mora was babbling.

"Well it was all Mora's idea to find you, and then Sirius got the cloak--" Peter was saying trying his best to get out of trouble when they were all interrupted by the bubbly voice of Lily.

"Oh, good you found them" Lily said as all of a sudden all four of them fell silent while James looked quite pleased with himself.

"Ah… wanna get some breakfast guys?" Lily asked wondering what it was that they where talking about that she wasn't allowed to hear.

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

"So then Marianne Dashwood is in a deep depression, she walks to the hill where she first met Mr. Willoughby and she collapses there in the rain. But Colonel Brandon had gone out to look for her, and he knew where she went so he found her and carried her back to the Palmer's. Then---"

"Wait, the old guy carried her, this is so stupid" Sirius interrupted Mora's retelling of one of Jane Austen's books. Mora just rolled her eyes and tried to get Lily to get James to yell at Sirius, but Lily was busy as always.

Lily and James had been studding for the past few hours, and they really were studding. Their end of the year exams were coming up and Lily was helping James prepare. Mora was just about to complain to Lily when Ms McGonagall stormed in to the common room.

"Ms. Evens follow me please." She said in her stern voice as she rushed over to the table that Lily and James were studding.

"What, I didn't do, what?" Lily asked standing up, she had never been in trouble before, but from the many time she had seen the marauders get in to trouble many time, and they had never been retrieved from the common room by Ms. McGonagall herself.

Lily slowly got up, she looked back at James and that was when she got worried. James looked scared, she had known James for years and in that time he had never looked scared, worried maybe, guilty definitely, but never scared.

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

"Ms. Evens I think it would be best if you sat down" Ms. McGonagall said motioning to a chair in front of her desk. Lily sat down expecting Ms. McGonagall to go back behind her desk but instead she sat down next to Lily with a sorrowful look on her face.

"What's wrong?" lily asked close to tears, she was worried, what could have happened that she was called down here so suddenly in the middle of the night

"Ms. Evens I will get right to it," Ms. McGonagall said taking a deep breath. "we have just received word that a few muggle families of our students were attacked by he-who-must-not-be-named. We do not know if your family was involved, but there was an attack in their area, we have sent people to investigate already.

Lily just sat there, her parents…. But why, they weren't witches, they were just muggles, they had done nothing wrong. It was all her fault. They didn't even really understand this war that was going on in Lily's world and now they were casualties of it? Lily began to cry, at first she tried to hide it, but she could not longer hold it in.

Ms. McGonagall was heart broken, she had grown very fond of Lily, and now here she was in such pain, she gathered Lily in to a tight hug.

"I think it would be best if you had company right now" She said looking up towards the door silently cast a spell so it would swing open reveling James, Remus, Sirius, Peter and Mora all waiting to see what had happened.

"Lily?" James asked not knowing what to expect….they had been at the door but non of them could take it upon themselves to listen in.

"It's my parents, they think that they may have been killed by you-know-who." Lily managed to get out before another wave of tears crashed upon her. The five of them rushed forward to comfort her as they waited for any news about Lily's parents.
