A/N My imagination is mine. That's all I can and will claim. The rest is JK Rowlings.

Chapter 14

I turned to my mum and Sirius after Lily had left the room. "She...she didn't mean it."

"I know darling."

"So don't cry. She loves you."

"I know darling. I'm not crying because I believe her."

"Then why?"

"Because she's still blaming herself for what happened to her family. In her own way...she thinks she's protecting us."

"So this whole time when we thought we were protecting her...helping her..."

"She was going along with things because she thought she would need to protect us."

"Ugh. Bloody Evans and her supposed logic...but..." I got wary at the look in Sirius' eyes.

"I don't like that look Padfoot..."

"We can keep an eye on Lily! And keep her healthy and safe...without anyone knowing..."

"You mean day and night kind of thing?"

"Exactly. Now here's what you do..."

Crazily enough...I think this might work...don't be so surprised. Sirius is quite smart when he puts his mind to it.

"Sounds good boys. Just be tactful about it. You don't want to scare her to doing something drastic. I think she will at that point. She won't let anyone else get taken from her. She'll push as hard as she can. Oh I wish Alastor had explained what exactly had happened to her."

"Oh...we can find that out too Mrs. Lupin. Sirius is on the case."

A/N Short...and a bit of a filler. But that's needed every so often.
