The room was dead silent. The six students were too shocked to move or to talk. Dani, James, Remus, Peter, and Sirius all turned to stare at Lily, who had risen from her chair and was staring at Dumbledore with a blank expression. She approached his desk and stared him dead in the eyes.

"Are you serious?" She whispered. Dumbledore nodded and took off his glasses.

"I wish I wasn't." He said gravely. At his words, Lily's legs collapsed from underneath her and she fell to the floor, tears running down her face. Dani rushed to her side and wrapped her arms around her, hugging her and holding her. The boys were limp in their seats. They had heard about the attacks going on, but this was the first one that had happened to someone they actually knew. Dumbledore stood from his desk and knelt beside Lily and Dani. He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Lily, I know this is a tough time for you, but you are still underage. Do you have anywhere you can stay? I've sent an owl to your sister asking the same thing." Lily scoffed.

"Petunia's got a fear of birds. If she sees an owl coming towards her, she'll flip out. And as for a place to stay, I don't have one. Both my parents were only children. I don't know where to go." Dani, who had been silent the whole time, furrowed her eyebrows.

"What do you mean you have no where to stay? You're staying with me." Lily arched an eyebrow.

"Are you serious?" Dani looked offended.

"What do you mean are you serious? Of course I am." Lily tried to object, but Dani shook he head. "No. Shut up. Don't argue. You already have your own room at my house. You're living with me whether you like it or not." Lily wiped her eyes and smiled through her tears.

"Thanks. But shouldn't you ask your parents first?" Dumbledore looked sheepish.

"That actually won't be necessary. I assumed that Lily would be living with Dani, so I went ahead and owled her parents. They can't wait to see you again." Lily nodded.

"Which will be when?"

"Tomorrow night. I've scheduled you, Dani, Peter, James, Sirius, and Remus to leave tomorrow morning on the Hogwarts Express. The best solution for you all right now would be to go get packed. You leave early." The boys nodded and stood up, heading for the door, as Dani helped Lily stand up. The two walked over to the door.

"And Lily?" Dumbledore said as they were leaving. Lily turned around.

"I'm terribly sorry for you. Your parents were some of the nicest people I have ever met. I mean it. I wish there was something I could do." Lily sniffed.

"Same here, Professor. Same here."

"Lily?" Lily jumped at the sound of her name. She was dressed in her muggle clothing and was sitting next to the lake, staring at it. She had been sitting there for over two hours. The day before, Dumbledore had told her her parents were dead and now she was waiting for the train to come. Lily turned around to see Dani standing behind her, looking worried. "I came to get you. The train's here." Lily nodded and stood up and they walked up to the castle, Dani at her side. They walked until they reached the train platform. The boys were already there, trunks loaded on the train. James saw them coming, and walked over to Dani and held her hand.

"How are you doing, Lily?" He asked slowly. She shrugged.

"I really don't know anymore." James nodded and the three stood there in silence.

"Oi! We're burning daylight here guys! We have to get going if we want to get there by nightfall." Sirius yelled from inside the window. James rolled his eyes.

"Stick your head back in window Black!"

"Why don't you make me?" James turned back to look at Dani and Lily.

"He says this like I won't." Dani giggled and Lily cracked a smile. Together, the three walked over to the train and boarded it, Lily staring at the ground the whole way.

"Has the train ride always been this long?" Peter asked. They had ridden away from Hogwarts hours ago and all they saw out the window was the England countryside. The boys and Dani were all sitting in a compartment, not exactly sure what to do with themselves. Lily had gone off by herself, about an hour ago, and the group had decided that it was best to leave her alone.

"Is the lady with the candy cart here?" James asked. He and Dani were curled up on one of the seats, him twirling a strand of her hair around his finger. Dani laughed.

"James, there are only six people on the train, not including whoever drives it. I doubt she's on it." James stood up.

"Well I'm going to check anyway. Besides, even if she's not on it, all that candy has got to be stashed somewhere. If I find it do you want anything?" She shrugged.

"I'll eat whatever you bring me." James nodded and turned to look at Remus, Sirius, and Peter.

"What about you lot? You guys want something?" The three shook their heads.

"We ate before we left, remember?" Remus reminded him. James shrugged.

"Yes I remember and I'm hungry again."

"Wait ever you're getting, double it for me." Sirius said simply. Peter nodded.

"Me too." James nodded once and exited the compartment, looking left, before heading right.

Now if I were candy on a train, where would I be put? Come on. Think. Candy, candy, candy… James thought as he roamed. He had walked the full length of the train twice and was tired of looking for something he couldn't find. Just as he was about to turn back, he heard the faintest crying sound. He walked towards one of the compartments and opened it. Inside was Lily with her head in her lap, sobbing, her shoulders shaking. Lily turned when she heard the door open, and quickly tried to hide her face.

"Hey, James. I was…was just on my way back." She said as she stood up and attempted to look like her usual composed self. Her lopsided ponytail, bloodshot puffy eyes, and inability to complete a sentence without tripping over a word, weren't exactly helping. She walked to James and tried to go around him but he placed an arm on her shoulder and stopped her. He closed the doors behind him before pushing her lightly down on the seat. Then he sat down next to her.

"No Lily. You're not leaving this room. You're gonna sit here and cry whether you like it or not. It's natural. You can't hold all this emotion in." Lily, whose eyes were welling up glared at him.

"Oh yeah, Mr. Perfect? How would you know?" James sighed and reached behind his neck. He brought forward a necklace with shark teeth on it and handed it to Lily. She shrugged. "It's the same necklace you've been wearing for over a year now. Why are you showing it to me?"

"Read the name under the clasp." He instructed. Lily held it up to her eyes and squinted. Under the clasp in gold letters was the name Brittany Potter. Lily handed it back to James and he refastened it around his neck.

"I thought you were an only child."

"I am. Brittany's my cousin."

"I still don't see the relevance between your story and mine." Lily said crossing her arms. James sighed.

"She found all the shark teeth you know. Went to the beach every day for a whole summer. She called me when she had found them all, she was so excited." James looked down and laughed quietly as he recalled the memory. "I was her best friend." Lily arched an eyebrow.

"Was?"

"Do you remember last year when I went ballistic on Professor Binns?" Lily nodded. It was all anyone could talk about for two months. He had been perfectly fine, but when Binns asked him to pass out the textbooks, he lost it. He started cursing, throwing things, and even flipped over a table. While four people were sitting at it. He then proceeded to storm out of the room, and go down the hall, fighting with whoever was in his way. Finally Sirius, Remus, and Peter were able to stun him and dragged him to the hospital wing. Everyone thought he had either been cursed or possessed, and he wasn't seen for two weeks. He returned to his classes the following Monday, completely normal and acting as if nothing had happened.

"What was that about?" She asked.

"Brittany was a witch. My aunt homeschooled her in magic and the day before the incident in Binns' classroom, she had been attending one of those things that muggles like to see. It's at this big place, with a screen with moving pictures?"

"A movie?" James nodded.

"Yeah that. Anyway, that morning I received a letter that while she was at the movie, she and her friends were attacked by a death eater. Two witches and four muggles dead. All under the age of fourteen." James was staring at the ground as he talked. Lily's tears threaten to spill over again.

"How old was she?"

"She was the youngest. Had just turned twelve. My aunt was in such a state of distress that she couldn't handle it. Her husband had died the week after Brittany's birth, so it had always been just the two of them. She hung herself the next day. I went to their funerals that weekend. And then I was kept in the hospital wing for another week so they could make sure that I wasn't suffering from some sort of mental disease or that I wasn't going to go and swallow any antidepressants." James raised his eyes to meet Lily's. "So I do know exactly what you are talking about. And the only thing you can do right now is to cry. Let it all out." Lily shook her head.

"I can't." James moved closer and placed an arm on her shoulders.

"Yes you can."

"But I-"

"Lillian Marie Evans. I give you permission. Now swallow that damn pride of yours and do what I say." Lily was on the edge of breaking, but there was still something stopping her.

"James-"

"Lily I won't tell anyone." With that, Lily gripped the edges of James' jacket, and buried her face in his shirt. Her body racked with sobs and he wrapped his arms around her. He rocked back and forth as she cried, telling her that everything would be okay and that he, the marauders, and Dani were all there for her no matter what. When the tears had finally subsided, Lily pulled back from James, and wiped her eyes.

"Your shirt's ruined." She said as she looked at his shirt which was covered in wet spots. James looked down and shrugged.

"It's nothing a simple drying spell can't fix." He said. Lily nodded and sniffed.

"How bad do I look right now?" She asked.

"Well, if you tilt your head to the side, and you close your right eye, and then you close your left eye, you look great!" Lily laughed and placed her hands in her lap. James reached over, and pulled the hair tie out of Lily's hair before placing it on her wrist. He then ran his hand through it a few times. "You see. Looking better all ready."

"I'm so sorry about your cousin." Lily said. "I had no idea."

"Well, I didn't exactly go around school proclaiming it. I only told the guys and Dani. The guys went with me to the funeral. Dani would have too, but she didn't want to leave you alone." Lily nodded, remembering how sad Dani was that week when the boys were gone. Now she understood why.

"How'd you get through that? I feel like I'm going to die and like I'll never be happy again." James shrugged.

"I had the guys, Dani, my family, my teachers. Everyone helped. The most important thing is to try to return to normal. Get back into routine. Even you shouting at me helped." Lily smirked.

"Really?"

"Scout's honor."

"Thanks for coming to find me." She said. James grinned shyly.

"Since we're revealing here, I should admit I actually didn't come looking for you. I went looking for food, and happened to hear you crying. But eventually, I would have come looking for you. Promise." Lily giggled and began to rub her shoulders. James stared at her. "What's wrong?"

"I'm tense, over worked, and exhausted. Nothing big."

"Turn around." Lily arched an eyebrow.

"What?"

"You heard me. Turn around."

"What are you gonna do?"

"You'll like it. Trust me." Lily stared at him suspiciously, but slowly turned around. James took a deep breath, and placed his hands on her shoulders. He slowly began to massage them. Lily, who had been tensed from the beginning, slowly began to loosen up. James grinned. "Better?" He asked. Lily nodded.

"Oh yeah." She replied. "How'd you learn how to do that?"

"When I was younger, my mom had a part time job as a masseuse. She taught me." Lily sighed contently.

"She taught you well." She complimented him. They sat in silence for a while as James removed the knot with his hands. When she was no longer tense, James patted her on the shoulders twice, and removed his hands.

"I'm done. You're all good." Lily turned back around.

"Thanks."

"No problem, anything else I can help you with?" Lily looked bashful.

"I don't know if I should tell you."

"Come on. Whatever it is can't be that bad."

"Well, I've been having pain in my lower back lately..." James nodded.

"Don't worry, the doctor is in. There's just one small problem."

"What?"

"In the current position you are in, I can't get you as relaxed as I would if you were lying down."

"So what are you saying?"

"In plain English? Get on the floor. On your stomach. Now." Lily's jaw dropped.

"Excuse me?" James pointed toward the ground.

"You. On the rug. Now."

"James-"

"Do you want the massage or not? Cause we can do it the right way, or the wrong way. Your choice. I should warn you, that if done the wrong way, I could hurt you." Lily looked around before groaning and slowly getting on the floor and lying down on her stomach. She crossed her arms and placed her chin on them. James grinned and tried to contain his excitement.

"You aren't gonna rape me are you?" Lily asked hesitantly. James scoffed.

"Only if you beg for it." Lily rolled her eyes and grinned to herself.

"Don't count on it." James kneeled on the ground and rubbed his hand together.

"Ready?" He asked. Lily nodded. James let out a breath and placed his hands on her back.

"Where is James with my snacks?" Sirius said as he stood up. Dani, who was lying down on the seat, with her feet propped up on the window shrugged.

"I don't know. But he's been gone a long time. Remus, where do you suppose our Prongs is?"

"He's either located the candy cart, or he's lost on the train."

"And both are completely probable." Peter added as he placed another card on his card tower.

"Well I'm gonna go look for him. I'm not letting him eat all that candy by himself. Dani are you coming?" Dani groaned and pulled looked at him upside down.

"Do I have to?"

"No, but if I do find it, I hope you are aware that I'm not bringing you back anything." Dani glared.

"Fine, you loser." She rolled off the seat and she dusted herself off. When she was standing upright, Sirius slid open the compartment door and they both walked out. Remus, got up from the floor and sat in Dani's evacuated seat.

"Moony?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever realized that Dani and Sirius and Lily and James are always leaving the two of us alone?" Remus, who had been reading, looked up from his book and stared at Peter.

"Yeah, I've noticed. And when they start dating the right people, it's going to get a lot worse."

"Moony, will you ever leave me?" Remus looked up from his book and gave Peter (who had been turning red) a small smile.

"Nah, Pete. I'll be right here."

"Sirius, carry me!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"But I said please!"

"And I said no!"

"...Please?"

"Fine. Get on." Dani squealed and without warning jumped on Sirius' back. He groaned from the impact and placed his arms under her legs. "Next time you plan on doing that, give me a little heads up please!" Dani nodded.

"Kay! Prance horsy, prance!"

"Call me a horsy one more time, and I'm gonna drop you."

"Horsy's a little temperamental." Sirius loosened his hold on her legs. "I'll stop! I'll stop! I swear!" Sirius tightened his hold again and continued walking. A while later, she whispered in his ear. "I know where you live."

"Okay, what are you on, who'd you get it from and where can I get some?" Dani giggled.

"The answer you are looking for is too complex to explain. And I'm not allowed to reveal my sources."

"It's Remus, isn't it?"

"How'd you know?" Sirius scoffed.

"Who do you think supplies me with mine?" The two giggled for a bit, before they were silent once more.

"Padfoot?"

"Yeah, Fireyes?"

"Do me a favor?"

"Does it involve drugs?"

"Not today."

"Then what is it?"

"Don't change. Ever." Sirius, who hadn't been expecting that answer, stopped walking and put Dani down. He turned around to face her.

"Okay. What's going on?" Dani shook her head.

"Nothing."

"Then why don't I believe you?" Dani shrugged.

"I don't know." Sirius sighed. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the nearest compartment. He shut the door behind them, and pulled her down into the seat next to him.

"Okay. It's just you and me now. No one else. Tell me what's going on." Dani shrugged and stood up.

"There's nothing to tell. Just, always be you. No matter what."

"There has to be some reason that brought it up. What is it?" Dani crossed her arms and sighed.

"You'll think I'm crazy."

"Cause I don't already think you are." He said sarcastically. Dani hit him on the shoulder.

"I'm serious."

"And I'm waiting for you to tell me what's going on."

"I don't know what's going on. It's just lately, I've been realizing that we're not invincible, like we used to think we were. We're human. Like Lily's parents? I never expected that. It's like a repeat of Brittany all over again. Do you realize that a year from now, our 7th year will almost be over? What's gonna happen when we get in the real world? I don't think any of us are ready." Sirius stared at her.

"What does any of this have to do with me changing?"

"Because, if you stay the same, it'll make me feel like not everything is completely spiraling out of control. And that there's at least one thing I can count on."

"You can always count on James staying the same." Sirius offered up. Dani shook her head and ran a hand through her hair.

"No, I can't. I was certain he'd always like Lily. And he doesn't anymore. I was always certain that he'd be the most irresponsible and annoying boyfriend, and he's one of the sweetest and most attentive. He's changing. We all are. And I just...I'm afraid of who I'm changing into." Sirius sighed and patted the spot next to him.

"Dani, sit." She did as she asked. He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes.

"I'll never change. Ever. I'll always be the guy who even if you are grown and married and have twenty-four kids, will call you at four in the morning to borrow a cup of sugar, even though I live six hours away. And know that, if you need me, I'll always be here. Always." He gave her his signature Black smile and she smiled back. Then she jumped on him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Thanks Black." She said into his neck. "I don't think you understand just how much those sentences mean." Sirius wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I think I do." Sirius cleared his throat. Dani?"

"Hmm?"

"You're chocking me." Dani pulled back and loosened her hold.

"Sorry." She said.

"No problem." The two sat in silence and stared at each other, Dani seated on Sirius' lap. Sirius ran his hand up and down her back and Dani ran a hand through his hair. He groaned at her touch. Sirius nervously cleared his throat. "Dani?"

"Hmm?" She said her eyes on his the whole time.

"Tell me if you want me to stop." He said as he slowly leaned closer. When Dani didn't pull back, he grew confident. When their lips collided, he sighed. Part of him felt guilty about betraying his best friend. The other part was yelling at the first part to shut up and enjoy. 'Besides Dani's the one dating James. Shouldn't' she be telling me to stop?' And she definitely was not objecting. Sometime during their initial kiss, Sirius' hand had sneaked its way up her calf and up her skirt, where it was resting just under her knickers. She turned so that she was now straddling Sirius, with one leg on each side of him.

Dani pulled back for air, and Sirius attacked her neck, trying to maintain some sort of skin on skin contact. While he was busy trying to mark her as his, Dani was working on unbuttoning his shirt. When she had succeeded, she pushed it off his shoulders and ran her hands up and down his bare chest. Sirius moaned against her collarbone and Dani smirked.

"We...we shouldn't...be doing this." He said breathlessly. Dani pulled her shirt off as well and attached her lips back to his.

"Are you saying you want to stop?" She whispered against his lips. Sirius smirked, and moved the hand that had been on her back to join the hand that was under her skirt. He ran one of his hands over the spot where her legs met her pelvis. Dani moaned at the contact. Sirius pulled back to look in her glazed over eyes.

"I think that you might have a breakdown if we did." Dani glared and rolled her hips in a way that brushed against Sirius' very prominent erection. He gasped.

"I think you might have one as well." She responded before rolling her hips again. As she kept up her blissful torture, she moved her hands to his pants and undid the belt, button, and the zipper before Sirius caught on to what she was doing. When he did, he raised his hips and pulled down his pants till they were around his ankles. He sighed in relief that he was no longer restricted.

"Your turn." He said. Sirius slipped his hands up and slowly pulled down her soaked knickers, lifting each of her legs to pull them off completely. When they were off, the only thing in between their private areas were Sirius' boxers.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked. In response, Dani picked up his wand that was on the floor, and vanished his boxers, before performing a contraceptive charm.

"That answer your question?" She asked in a low husky voice. Dani went to remove her bra, but Sirius stopped her.

"Leave it. The skirt and shoes too. Incredibly sexy." He said with his eyes closed. Dani did as he asked and scooted up on his lap. Until his erection was at her entrance. Sirius opened his eyes and met hers as she lifted her hips. He placed his hands on them and slowly lowered her onto him. When he was fully sheltered in her heat, he closed his eyes and leaned his head back. "Dani." He groaned.

"Siri. Fuck me. Please." She begged. Sirius smiled as he lifted his head and kissed her again.

"So you wish it, so it shall be." And with that, he raised her hips again and brought her right back down on him. Dani gasped.

"Sirius!" Sirius smirked as he bit her shoulder, continuing his actions. He loved when she said his name. Dani threw her head back as she continued to bounce up and down on him. She laughed.

"What?" Sirius grunted.

"Now you really are a horsy." Sirius was about to retort, when Dani rolled her hips again causing all attempts at speech impossible. As their movements got faster, Dani placed her hands on Sirius' shoulders and tightened her grip.

"Are you close?" he whispered. She nodded.

"Sirius..." She moaned. Sirius reached between them and flicked her clit, which drove her over the edge. A few seconds later, he joined her as well. Sirius continued to thrust in her as they both came down from their high. When they were both completely spent, they sat there in silence, Sirius still inside of Dani. Just as they were both nodding off, Sirius' head snapped off and he realized what they had just done. He had just had sex with Dani. The girl he had wanted for over a year. His best friend's girlfriend. And all he wanted was to do it again. He had liked it. He had liked it a lot. Dani, seemed to snap out of her trance the same time that Sirius did, and the two stared at each other in shock. Finally Dani jumped off Sirius' lap, and began searching for her clothes. Sirius pulled up his boxers and redid his pants. When they were both properly dressed once more, they nodded at each other and proceeded to walk out of the compartment and down the hall. They were in silence before Dani broke it.

"Sirius, what happened back there-" Sirius shook his head.

"I know. It didn't." Dani nodded.

"Right. It's just that we were both so caught up-"

"Emotions running high-"

"I was a wreck-"

I took advantage-"

"It was wrong-"

"And it won't happen again." Sirius finished. Dani firmly nodded in agreement.

And James-"

"Never finds out." Sirius concluded. He stuck out his hand. "Deal?" Dani shook it.

"Deal."

Wow. Dani's getting alot of action lately isn't she? Hehehe...the little slut...JK!...I wonder who's bigger, James or Sirius?...hmm...how about that for a Christmas gift...anyway, happy holidays to all and I look forward to continuing this story in the new year!
