A/N: I keep forgetting to mention in every single one of these Author's notes that I deleted "In Love (wit a stripper)' I didn't like the way it turned out and I'm not resubmitting it. So please do not ask about it.

The next few weeks were murder on James because he had to deal with her hormonal changes. Sirius refused to stay with them when this happened. For one thing, Lily tended to yell at everyone even if they didn't do anything to anger her.
James had forced her to stay home from the meetings, because he was afraid that they'd get attacked and he'd lose her again.
He still didn't know what to do about Michelle, because he didn't want to hurt her feelings by breaking up with her. That was one of the good things of having Lily as an ex; Michelle didn't know how much James had changed from just dumping his girlfriends to considering their feelings.
Just then, an owl flew through the window. As James scanned it, his heartbeat quickened. The owl was holding a black envelope sealed with the Ministry of Magic crest.
The owl dropped the letter at his feet, and he picked it up hesitantly. He glanced at the door he had just come through, where Lily was taking a shower.
'Which of our friends has died now?' He wondered. He didn't want to open it till Lily came out, in case he exploded from shock.
Just in that second, he heard the shower stop. In about two minutes Lily came out fully dressed, with the towel wrapped around her red hair.
"What are you holding, James?" she asked, curiously trying to see what the seal was. James glanced at it, and looked back up at her face.
"Oh, this? It's nothing," he said trying to hide it behind his back. Lily gave him that look she had perfected when she knew he was hiding something from her.
After about five minutes of this, he finally backed down and held the letter out to her. "Here, you open it, I don't want to know," he said softly and turned away from her.
He heard the ripping of the envelope and closed his eyes. When he heard her gasp, though, it was the last straw. He turned around and noticed her tears.
The parchment in her hands fell to the floor as he took her into his arms. She quietly sobbed into his shoulder, and he decided to carry her to the couch.
He sat down gingerly after lifting her into his arms. She was sitting on his lap, and still crying her heart out. She finally fell asleep and he set her beside him so he could stand up. He lifted her up, and she quickly wrapped an arm around his neck for a safety precaution. But she was still asleep.
He carried her into her bedroom so she wasn't sleeping on the couch. He then went to pick up the letter.
Dear Miss Evans,
We are sorry to inform you that one of your friends, a Miss Serindra Davis by name, was killed at her place of residence last night at nine PM. We think that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named killed her himself.
We are terribly sorry for your loss
The Ministry of Magic
James felt the tears prickle behind his eyes. Serindra was the one who had helped him win Lily two years ago. Now she was gone, and he didn't know what to do to comfort Lily.
He decided to start by sending an owl to Headquarters and telling them that an emergency occurred and that he needed to stay with Lily. After that was done, he went back into Lily's room and lay down on her bed, fully clothed, trying to hide the fact that he was feeling tears behind his eyes.
As he removed his glasses, Lily turned around and asked softly, "James, is that you?" he felt her snuggle into him and go back to sleep.
It was going to be an interesting week.

When Dumbledore received the owl, his eyebrows rose and a look of comprehension appeared on his face. Well, this was an interesting term of events.
He seemed to understand exactly what had just happened. He looked up at the informant still in the office. He nodded his head in approval. His tip was too late, but Snape understood that he had just received high praise from his old Headmaster. One of the last things he wanted right now was praise but he received it none-the-less.
As Snape rose to go, he looked at his old Headmaster's normally twinkling eyes, and realized that they had softened some since the letter had arrived. He nodded gallantly and headed out the door.

It appeared that the same letter Lily had received had also been sent to Alice and Michelle, because the next morning, both girls had tears in their eyes.
"Why did it have to be Serindra?" the girls mourned, trying to calm themselves down after crying for fifteen minutes. Now Lily was the only one hiccupping and she was trying to control it.
Lily looked up when she felt a hand settle on her shoulder, stroking her back and trying to show her that he cared.
James was looking at her, his normally twinkling hazel eyes bleak.
"J-James, I thought you left," Lily hiccupped. James shook his head.
"I was just in the kitchen, writing a letter to Sirius," he said, sighing and running his hands through his hair.
He glanced at the wall clock and then looked at his watch. He was expecting a letter from Remus sometime soon, and he was hoping to see the owl with Sirius's response.
He glanced down at Lily's hands, which were tangled up together and he felt sorry for her.
He gave her a swift hug and then headed toward the kitchen again. He had just barely made it to the door when Michelle sidestepped around him.
He looked at her, and noticed that her eyes flashed fire.
"What the hell is with you, James? Don't you love me anymore?" she asked with a pout.
James shook his head. This wasn't what he wanted to talk about right now.
"You know, something tells me that you're hiding from me," Michelle said thoughtfully.
Then something clicked in her head. The attack on Lily, her mood swings, James's guilty look, and the looks that passed between them.
James still loved Lily and Lord Voldemort knew it!
"James, is Lily pregnant?"
