Chapter 4-

The girl woke up to find her self in a pitch-black room. As she tried to scream, she realized that someone had jinxed her. She couldn't make a sound. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her.

"Hey, its okay. Open your eyes."

She obeyed, and found herself in the infirmirary. The marauders hovered around her, and as did Lilly, but the only one she truly cared about was Sirius.

"What happened?" she asked. It came out more like a whisper.

"Lucious and his goons." James said.

"They swear they were only trying to play a prank!" Peter injected.

"But they should have known that the pranks should always be left to us." Sirius said with a wink.

She blushed, and he grinned.

"Ah-hem." Said Lupin, in an attempt to cough. They all turned and stared at him. "All of you should leave." He said. "but, Sirius, I guess you can say if you wish. But this… is going to get hard. I'm warning you now."

Sirius nodded.

After Lupin had cleared out the rest of the guys (and Lily), he sat on the bed and looked at Selene. Sirius sat next to her.

After a few minutes of studying her face, he sighed and looked away.

"How much do you remember?" he asked.

She stared at him. "You're kidding, right?" she asked. I remember the bonfire. It must have been last night. Maybe two or three days ago. Why?"

Sirius put his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him.

"How long?" she asked.

Lupin looked away, and Sirius sighed.

"How long was I out?" She demanded, nervous.

"Six weeks." Said Sirius. "Six weeks after we found your body."

She almost collapsed into Sirius's arms. Shell-shocked, she looked to Lupin for conformation. He nodded.

As the tears slid down her cheeks, they mixed with Sirius's. And her world collapsed into itself.
