Previous Chapter:

The class was in shock and James used it to his advantage. He threw himself against Remus to get him to let go. Remus released James to catch himself and James jumped up and stalked quickly out the door to go find Sirius. Remus groaned and ran after him.

McGonagall got what she had wanted though. She made her point. Nobody would be passing notes in her class again. She stood up, walked to the chalkboard, and resumed teaching.

(A. N: WARNING- this chapter is a little… darkish. In this chapter, there are some rape scenes. Not too graphic but it is kind of… vulgar?)

Chapter 2: A Note of Consequences

As he walked through the halls, Sirius was almost caught out of class by Filch, the nasty and grumpy squib caretaker at Hogwarts. After he cooled off some, he decided to go back to his dormitory to take a nap for the remainder of Transfiguration and maybe through the rest of his classes.

He had lain on his bed with his eyes closed for a good 15 minutes but he couldn't sleep. He was too worked up. He sat up and looked around. There! His broom was laying on the ground under his bed, peeking out just enough for him to spot it. He would go flying. That had always been a good way to clear his mind. Maybe it would help. Picking up his broom, he quickly strode out of the castle; making his way down to the pitch. He jumped onto his broom and started flying, quickly losing track of things.

Lily fumed as she stomped up and down the hallways, yelling at the caretaker that she was head girl when he tried to bust her for being out of classes. Finally, she flopped down outside of Myrtle's bathroom, near tears. She took a moment to think.

Storming around wouldn't do her any good. She needed to find Sirius. He was probably as angry as she was. But where would he go? She thought on it and realized that she just didn't know him well enough to know where he would go in a situation like this.

However, she knew where he was supposed to be after classes. She would just have to wait in her dorm until then. When she reached her dorm, she shrugged out of her robes and sat on her bed to wait.

James was FURIOUS! 'How could Sirius do this to me? He had no right! Lily's mine!' James rounded another corner and once again found nothing. He checked all of the unused classrooms but there was nothing there.

He thought, 'Think, James, think. You'll figure it out. Where would Sirius go when he's upset?' James shivered as a breeze floated through an open window. 'That's it! Sirius is out flying!' James considered for a moment if he should go confront him. Then he got a better idea. He sneered with happiness.

'It's perfect!' He thought viciously. He knew what he was going to do.

He turned around and headed for the secret passageway that would take him to the seventh floor. He was going to the Room of Requirements. And when they got there later that night, he would confront them. Then they would pay.

His eyes narrowed and his evil grin widened. Oh, yes. They would pay.

Sirius flew around for what felt like forever but was actually only an hour and a half. But, after a few more minutes of flying, he knew it was no good. Even the fresh air couldn't clear his head. So with a sigh, Sirius landed and stored his broom in the locker room. As he walked back outside and off the pitch, he caught a glimpse of a couple sneaking into the bushes by the lake. His anger escalated and he picked up a rock and threw it as hard as he could at the whomping willow. The tree hit the rock back and Sirius had to duck to avoid being hit by the rock. The tree had good aim.

He took a deep breath and noticed that he felt a little better. So, he just needed a way to get rid of his anger by physical means. He looked at where his rock had landed and saw a bid fly into the forest. Perfect.

He ran into the forest and quickly transformed into his dog animagus form. After that he ran. He wasn't looking for any specific place in the forest or anything like that. He was just running. And it helped a lot.

As James waited in the Room of Requirements, he worked on the finishing touches of his plan. He wanted to make sure that it was the best way to make them both pay. With only a few minutes of doubt, he decided that it was the best plan that he could think of. So, he settled into a chair and waited for them to come.

When the clock told that it was fifteen minutes until the end of classes, Lily couldn't wait any longer. It would only take about five minutes to get to the RoR but she couldn't wait in her dorm any longer. So, she headed out, intending to wait for Sirius there. Not knowing that what she would find there would change her life forever.

Finally, Sirius transformed back when he almost fell into a ditch. He checked his watch and realized that he was going to be late to meet Lily in the RoR if he didn't hurry back. He transformed once again and ran back to the edge of the forest. When he was almost out, he transformed human once more and ran, normally, up to the RoR. When he got there, it was only five minutes past. He took a deep breath and walked in.

He didn't know that Lily had been there for the last fifteen minutes. He didn't know that James was inside. He didn't know that James was so angry that he could come up with such a disgusting plan. He didn't know that he had made a mistake leaving Lily alone. And he definitely didn't know that that day would change the rest of his life.

ROUGHLY 2:40 P.M.

James looked at the clock for the third time in the last minute and continued his pacing across the floor. He didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to go and find Sirius and Lily NOW. He knew what he would do when he found them. But no. No, he would stay right where he was. If he went searching for them then he might not be able to find them and he might miss his opportunity here. No. That wouldn't do at all. He would just wait.

He looked at the clock again. Still a good ten minutes to wait. Just then, he heard the room shift as another person was about to enter. James quickly threw himself behind the door. Then someone walked in.

It was Lily. Well, dang. That messed up his plan. He had banked on Sirius coming first. Oh well. That wasn't that big of a deal. He just had to revise his plans slightly.

As Lily walked in, James quickly stunned her. He pulled her out of the way and shut the door. He grabbed her unconscious form and dropped her on the bed. He tied her wrists together and then to the headboard. He took each leg and tied it to the bedpost at the end of the bed so that her legs were spread far apart. Then he gagged her before waking her.

As Lily awoke, she tried to roll over only to find herself unable to. She opened her eyes to see Potter standing next to her; sneering in disgust. Her facial expression changed to one of confusion. She tried to sit up to ask him what was going on but, like before, she couldn't move. Her eyes went to her tied up legs and arms and her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

She looked back to Potter and saw him not sneering, but smirking. She tried to ask what was happening but couldn't. She was gagged. She looked up at him again and he was grinning. But this wasn't a happy grin. No. This grin was one of viciousness.

Lily's eyes darted all over the room as tears leaked out of her eyes. Her breaths started coming faster and shallower. She was beginning to hyperventilate as the adrenaline rushed through her. She started thrashing around as she realized exactly what was about to happen.

James rolled his eyes and yelled for her to knock it off or else. She stopped thrashing immediately. She didn't know exactly what would more he could do to her than what he already had planned but she really didn't want to find out.

Her chest moved up and down with each quick breath she took. Her eyes darted around the room for anything that could help her but found nothing. Her eyes once more found James but this time they stayed there. He looked down at her with that vicious grin and said, "Well, I guess it's time. You see, after you left, McGonagall kept reading the note and I heard her read that you would be meeting Sirius here after classes. So, I came here and made my plan. How could I hurt both of you to make you hurt the way I do?"

Lily sobbed and made what sounded like a grunt through her gag. James ignored her and continued on, "Then it came to me. Why would Sirius want to meet you here? There are other places you could have met that you wouldn't have been found. Then I realized. He was bringing you here so that he could have sex with you."

Lily shook her head as she tried in vain to convince him. Of what, she wasn't exactly sure. Was she trying to convince him that he was wrong about why Sirius asked her here? Or was she just trying to get him to let her go? She didn't particularly care. She just wanted away from there. Away from Potter. However, it did her no good. He just kept going.

"I was even angrier when I realized this, of course, but I didn't let it get to me. I kept my head and voi la. I had my answer. If Sirius was so keen to fuck you," Lily cringed but James never faltered in his explanation, "then the perfect revenge would be to take the one thing from you that he wanted. Your virginity. So, I waited in here. You came, I tied you up, and now we've come full circle. So, now that you know why this is happening, it's time for me to execute my plan."

He put his hand on her cheek and smiled that vicious smile. She jerked her head away and he chuckled evilly. He grabbed her jaw, forced her to look at him, and said, "Don't worry. This'll be fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy it almost as much as I will." Her eyes filled with tears as he let go of her face and she shook her head and tried to plead with him but the gag muffled her words.

James stripped down to his boxers and then climbed onto the bed between Lily's legs. He moved up to put one leg on each side of her stomach and knelt. He used both hands to rip her button-up shirt apart; making the buttons go flying.

He held her down with one hand as she began to thrash again and he backhanded her hard with the other. Lily whimpered from the pain and immediately stopped struggling. Instead she lay there limp, almost lifeless. She closed her eyes and tried not to think about what he was doing.

James lifted her torso with one hand and unhooked her bra with the other. He frowned. Only then did he think of how he was going to get it off with her hands tied together. He smiled again as he saw that the straps were interchangeable. He unhooked them and threw the stupid thing across the room. Finally he was about to have what he wanted. What he had come here for.

James groaned in appreciation as he stared at her now bare breasts. He took one in each hand and squeezed. She sucked in a breath in surprise and her eyes opened. She looked at him touching her and looked away. She started sobbing again; tying not to move or make any other response to what he was doing.

He pinched her nipples and moaned as he felt the bulge in his underwear. That was it. He was done with foreplay. He moved back down between her legs and pushed her skirt up. Then he ripped her underwear off and saw her eyes open wide. He grinned and went to pull off the last bit of clothing between him and Lily.

3:05

Sirius snuck in quietly and gently closed the door behind him. He turned around and froze. He hadn't known exactly what to expect, but his best friend- no- ex-best friend about to rape Lily sure as hell wasn't it. Just then Lily spotted him and her eyes flew open. James' hands left Lily's clothing and went to what was left of his own. Sirius whipped out his wand and with a quick 'Impedimenta' James was flown across the room. Sirius debated whether or not to go over and punch James unconscious or just tie him up for a fraction of a second and then settled.

With another spell, ropes tied around James. Then Sirius walked over and punched him; resulting in a rather loud crack. James nose gushed blood but Sirius kept hitting him. He wanted to beat him to a bloody pulp. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep going after he heard a muffled whimper from the bed where Lily was still tied up.

Sirius rushed over to Lily. He hastily pulled the gag out of her mouth and untied her arms and legs. As soon as she was free of the ropes, she threw herself into Sirius' arms; in shock. She sobbed and held onto him as if her life depended on it, which- to her- it probably did. Sirius held her and comforted her rather well despite his anger toward James and the awkwardness he felt because she had her bare chest pressed up against him. He smoothed her hair, rubbed her back, and murmured over and over, "It's okay. It's all okay now. You're going to be alright. You're safe."

After at least twenty minutes, though, his worry for her was starting to ebb away just enough that the anger and the awkwardness were starting to take over. He took a deep breath and gently pulled Lily away from himself. She looked up at him, still crying, and he looked away as he took off his robes. He handed them out to her and waited for her to take them. When she didn't, he looked back to see her face blank and realized that her brain was almost completely shut down and didn't understand what it was that he wanted.

He stepped closer to her again and dressed her in his robes. He had originally meant for her to hold them closed but it was obvious to him that that wasn't going to happen so he improvised. He pulled her skirt back down and looked around for her bra. He clenched his teeth when he spotted it. It was at the other side of the room; next to James. Sirius closed his eyes briefly. He pulled out his wand and then summoned it to him. He turned back to Lily and hooked her bra into place in the back and then reattached the straps in the front. He stepped closer to her so that she couldn't see what he was doing. He didn't want to frighten her as he took off his belt. Then he tied it around her to keep the robes closed. He hugged her to himself once more and kissed her forehead before he reluctantly pulled away from her to pick her up.

He levitated James in front of him and carried Lily as he left the RoR and headed to the hospital wing. He would have just left James in there but didn't want him to get away. James was going to pay for this. So, unable to leave him behind, Sirius brought James with him.

Lily really needed to get to the hospital wing and Sirius was worried the whole way. He tried everything to get her to respond to what he was saying but she just cried until she cried herself to sleep. He was worried about this too, but didn't have the heart to wake her.

As he was walking, he glanced out of a window and realized that it was dark. It must have been after hours. He must have been wrong before. He had probably been comforting Lily for hours. He had wondered why there was no one in the corridors.

Just then, he heard footsteps and hushed voices. He looked around. He was filled with relief as he realized that he was right next to one of his favorite secret passages. He levitated James in and walked in with Lily. He closed the door and listened. He couldn't hear their words yet but he could recognize the voices. It was Snape, Bellatrix, Regulus, and… Peter? His eyes narrowed as he came to the (incorrect) conclusion that they were messing with Peter. He was about to jump out of his hiding place to defend Peter when he heard Peter's voice reply to an unheard question:

"Yes. Tonight's meeting was extremely helpful. I've made my decision. During the next induction ceremony, I'll join the Dark Lord."

There were probably replies to this statement but, if there were, Sirius didn't hear them. He closed his eyes and nearly cried. He had lost two friends in one day. His life wasn't looking that bright at the moment.

Lily mumbled in her sleep and Sirius looked over at her. He changed his mind. As long as he had Lily, life would be brilliant. Although, he couldn't help but to hope that Remus would stay his friend. So feeling betrayed, Sirius mumbled, "Remus better be in the dormitory and not off snogging a Slytherin or something."

As Sirius tuned back into the outside world, he realized that there was no one in the corridor any more. He walked out of the secret passage again with Lily still in his arms and James still floating in front of him.

When Sirius reached the hospital wing, he placed Lily on one of the beds and –though he was tempted to drop him on the floor- put James on the bed farthest away from Lily. He returned to Lily and smoothed her hair from her face.

"Madame Pomfrey." Sirius called loudly, "Madame Pomfrey!"

She came bustling out of her office. She looked at the two students in the room and turned to her cabinet for supplies. She grabbed a few things and started on James, who looked very bad. While she was working on him she said, "Mr. Black, do you know what happened to Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans?"

"Yeah." He said flatly. She turned around to face him and he said, "He was angry because I'm dating Lily." Sirius turned to the older witch and continued, "So, to get back at us, he was going to rape her." The vial in the medi-witch's hands slipped and shattered on the floor. "If I had gotten there even twenty seconds later, he would have managed it. I stopped him and beat the shit out of him. That's what happened to him. Lily, on the other hand, is in shock I think." He looked back down to Lily and held her hand with both of his.

Madame Pomfrey glanced at James and swallowed. She took a deep breath and looked over at Sirius and said, "Well then, in that case, Mr. Black I'm going to floo the headmaster and inform him that there is an emergency. Can I trust that you will not try to finish off Mr. Potter while I'm in my office?"

Sirius nodded his head, not looking away from Lily. She pursed her lips but went anyway. Sirius wasn't lying though. He wasn't going to try and kill James. To do that, he would have to leave Lily and he had no intention to do that. He wouldn't leave her side. There wasn't a chance in hell.

(A.N: Don't you just love it when the hero gets to the damsel in distress in time because the villain is stupid and rambles on? I know I do! Also, yay! Peter has been discovered. As soon as he receives the dark mark, he's headed straight to Azkaban! Also, yeah, I know that it's not likely that James would go that far but it's my story and I want him out of it. So, this was the first thing that popped into my head. Actually, when I started writing this, I had every intention to have this happen. Maybe not this soon but, eh. People always say 'the sooner the better'. Anyway, hope my one reader liked it. Or at least I assume I only have one reader because I've only gotten one review. *Hint, hint. Cough, cough.*)
