A/N: Sorry, peeps, if you were confuzzled by the last chapter. Plus, my hardrive died so I have to replan everything... Oh, and sorry for the short chapter. It isn't much of development, but it kind of explains some bits and pieces going on with Eli and Gilderoy.

Lily woke with a gasp.

She was covered in sweat.

Taking a deep breath, she slipped out of her bed.

Lily glanced down at her shaking arms and noticed that in the pale blue light given by the moon that she was abnormally pale. The light danced beneath her eyelids as a wave of dizziness consumed her.

"Whoa..." she grabbed her bed post as she regained her strength.

Shooting headaches tore through her brain.

Maybe I should go back to bed...?

James blinked. He sat up in his bed as the bedcovers slipped down.

What time is it? he wondered. He grabbed his glasses and looked at his watch.

5 am? Really?

He fell back into the bed, his eyelids closed and his breathing quickly deepening.

KayCee woke up in a cold sweat.

"Wha - What was all that about?" she asked herself.

She waddled herself to the dorm bathroom. KayCee ran a hand down her stomach.

Was that dream real? Is this child really... his?

She pondered the possibility and dismissed it.

Lionel sat up in his bed, confused.

What did that dream mean? And why was James dressed as a girl...?

Gilderoy pranced around the room.

Lucius weakly rubbed his eyes.

"Man, what are you doing?" he asked.

Gilderoy didn't answer and continued prancing.

"Will you quiet it down? I'm trying to sleep here!" shouted Gabe, his face covered with a pillow.

"Oh, sorry. I was a bit happy," said Gilderoy, startled.

"A bit?" asked Severus, arching an eyebrow.

"Well, a lot."

This sent Severus pondering.

Was he happy about being with Lily or the phase where he gets to crush her heart?

Sirius sat bolt upright.

"What - what was that all about?"

He held his head in is hands, mumbling incoherently.

That dream had done serious damage to his mental stability. He stumbled out of bed and hazily went to the bathroom, locking the door. He sat on the lid of the toilet and held his head, pressing his palms into his eyes.

The darkness calmed him a little, and so did the silence.

Although it was dark and silent in his dream, this darkness and silence was soothing.

A wave of nausea passed through Sirius and he shuffled to the sink, transparent yellow and purple dots clouding his vision.

He vomited.

Remus turned over in his sleep. He steadily woke up, hearing the sounds of vomiting in the bathroom.

Quickly, Remus scanned the room and rested his eyes on Sirius' empty bed.

Worried, he tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door. He ran to the Heads Dorm.

He burst in, and smiled in relief as he spotted Lily there, sitting on the couch.

"Lily!"

She broke out of her reverie and addressed Remus with a warm, yet tired smile.

"Hello Remus," she looked closely at him.

"Has something happened?"

"I'm worried about Padfoot. He's never puked in his whole life, no matter how much he ate (or drank, for that matter) and now he's suddenly locked himself up in the bathroom."

Real concern flashed through Lily's eyes, and Remus relaxed a little.

"Let's go and see him now," she demanded. Remus nodded, and conjured a piece of paper and a quill from thin air, scribbling a note to James.

Eli stretched, yawning. Unlike James, Lily, Sirius, KayCee and Lionel, she had a perfect night's sleep. It was spent dreaming about James, and of her perfect plan.

She was going to get him to propose to her. Or at least give her something concrete to present to the Royal Court and to her father next month.

Eli giggled happily. She couldn't wait until she was married, powerful, rich and having beautiful half Elven children.
