"Where is home? Lisi where is home?" James asked loudly shaking Lisi.

"If I knew that I would have told you that. I never asked where Lily met Snape and she never told me. We never got in that deep over that bloody ass." Lisi growled holding onto Peter for support.

"What are we going to do about the others?" Sirius asked looking out the window at Bellatrix who was still screaming from the pain of Kat's spell. "How long does that spell last?"

"I don't know why don't you ask Kat?" James asked looking out the window and twisting his hands.

"James, she passed out." Sirius said looking down at Kat with worried eyes.

"So did Paige." Remus said looking at the others and wiping his eyes.

"I'm sure she has. They had been laying that curse on her for hours on and off. You would have thought that they would lay off but no." Lisi said sighing as she walked across the room to Remus and Paige.

"I hope she hasn't gone out of her mind yet." Remus asked silently.

"What do you mean go out of her mind?" Peter asked confused.

"When people do the crutacious curse for long periods of time on other people they will go out of their mind in agony. They act like they don't know anything." Remus said looking down at the sweaty Paige.

"We need to get these girls to the infirmary and get Dumbledore." Sirius said lifting Kat up in his arms.

"We have to save Lily." James said anger in his voice. "We can't just leave her god knows where and hope she's okay." James said looking at Sirius with fire in his eyes.

"James Snape is never going to hurt Lily. The only thing he ever wanted was to keep her away from you and Kat and Paige are sick, really sick. We don't know whether Paige is terminally ill or if Kat is okay. We need to help the ones we can and either way we are going to need Dumbledore." Sirius said knocking the door open with his foot.

"You're right, let's go." James said picking Lisi up.

"I can walk." Lisi said glaring at him.

"So you're going to give up a free ride?" James asked with a smirk.

"Shut it Potter." Lisi grinned back at him. "Wait!"

"What now?" Sirius groaned turning around.

"We need to make sure they stay here." Lisi said looking around the forest.

"Who stay where?" Peter asked as he trailed behind them.

"Malfoy and them, I have an idea." Lisi grinned as she put her hand out to the air before concentrating and closing her eyes. Suddenly the passed out bodies on the ground flew through the air and slammed into the tree James had just been attached to. "I want to see them get out of that."

"Can everybody do wandless magic?" James asked throwing his hands up in the air.

"Everyone but you, mate." Sirius laughed before nodding his head in the direction of the tree and making a branch fly off and hit Bellatrix in the head. "Merry Christmas cousin."

"Let's go, I think Paige is waking up." Remus said and started the run to the infirmary.

"How do you always seem to find trouble?" Professor McGonagall yelled as she busted through the doors of the infirmary.

"Technically Minnie, trouble found us." Sirius said while Madame Pompfrey rapped a bandage around his slashed left hand.

"What happened?… Oh dear." Professor McGonagall said as she looked at the two beds that held Paige and Kat.

"Bellatrix and Bret were performing the crutacious curse on Paige on and off for hours and when me, Kat and the rest of us came in. Bret tried to perform the crutacious curse on me but Kat jumped in the way, thus the reason she's in the bed passed out instead of me." Sirius said looking at Kat's sleeping face.

"Where is Miss Evans? I don't doubt that she was involved when her friends were hurt." Professor McGonagall said tapping her fingers on the metal bed frame next to her.

"I'm right here Professor! I have been in the library studying with Severus since around six this morning. I just heard the news. Are they going to be okay?" Lily said with Snape railing behind her. She winked at James who opened his mouth to say something but didn't.

"You weren't involved?" Professor McGonagall said raising her thin eyebrows.

"Yes, ma'am I just got the news from Mary who said she saw the boys bring the girls into the infirmary." Lily lied batting her long eyelashes.

"If that's the case then I need to speak to Professor Slughorn. Where are the attackers?" McGonagall said, her face flushed with anxiety over the latest Hogwarts drama.

"In the forbidden forest, follow the path to the second clearing." Lisi said looking at the Professor.

"I will deal with you and Miss Bellsum later. You know the rules, if there is trouble you come to me and definitely not to the forbidden forest." McGonagall said giving Sirius a scorning look

"Wouldn't dream of anything else." Sirius winked at the Professor before watching her huff with sarcasm and rush out of the room.

"I saved your ass now get the hell out." Lily said turning to Severus who was still behind her.

"Lily, if you knew what he was." Snape said looking at James with the utmost hate.

"I think it's you she should be worried about." James said stepping in front of Lily who had her arms crossed in front of her chest. "I don't know why in the hell she saved your ass but if you ever even come close to her again I'm going to make sure they don't find your body. But to pay you back for this little incident I'm going to make your life a living hell."

"Lily hated that about you. That's the reason she wouldn't even look at you. If you think you can do that to people then you're going to lose her." Snape said trying to catch Lily's green emerald eyes.

"I honestly don't think I would care anymore, considering that you're not really an average person." Lily said grabbing James hand and holding it into her own. "You have pulled a lot of shit with me Severus but after what you did to me today…"

"What did he do to you?" James asked turning Lily around to face his face which was covered in stress and worry.

"We'll talk about it later… I just need to calm down." Lily said looking at James with her big green eyes before leaning up on her toes to give him a soft kiss on the lips.

Snape gave something between a grunt and a gagging sound as she did this which made Lily turn around sharply. "Do you have a problem with what I just did Severus?"

"He doesn't love you." Snape said sneering at James who had wrapped his muscular arms around Lily. "He just wants a toy and that's what he gets with you, a toy to chase after."

"I can't believe you would go low enough to tell my Lily that I only want her to chase her. She is the most perfect beautiful human being in this world, that's why I love her." James snarled at Snape who was turning red with anger.

"Severus, we talked and we came to an agreement… now it's time for you to do your end of the bargain." Lily said as she looked at the pattern of the tile floor.

"I'm going but before I do I want Potter to know that if he ever hurts you there will be hell to pay." Snape said as he walked across the long room and to the wide double doors.

"Before you go Snivellus I just wanted to let you know that that's never going to happen. My love for Lily is nothing compared to your infatuation." James said as he watched Snape sneak quietly through the double doors.

"Sirius she's going to be okay, you can come with us." James said as he patted his friend on the back. Kat had woken up sporadically through the last day and a half but was still feeling the effects of the curse. Madame Pompfrey told him that was normal for people who had encountered the spell for the first time but he still denied leaving her side.

"She saved me from this. I could be there lying in that bed with god knows what happening but she saved me instead so the least I could do is stay next to her until I know she's okay." Sirius said as he stroked Kat's hand gently.

"But you do know she's okay, it's Paige we don't know about." James said solemnly as he looked over at the bed sheeted that held a sleeping Paige and Remus who had not left her side since they got here.

"That doesn't mean I don't worry about her all the same." Sirius said as he smiled down at Kat. "What do you think she's going to say when she wakes up?"

"Something along the lines of I own you and you owe me big time." Lily laughed as her and Lisi walked through the doors to Kat's bed.

"How is Remus?" Lily asked looking over at the sheeted bed.

"Still mourning her, he won't even come out to talk to us anymore." James sighed as he looked around the room. "I could kill Snape for planning this… as soon as all this is over."

"The dorm room is so empty without them." Lisi said as she sat down in the chair next to Sirius'.

"Everything is empty without them." Remus said as he tore open the sheet around Paige's bed.

"I'm glad someone decided to be social." James laughed as he looked at Remus' face.

"The only reason he came out was to see us." Lily exclaimed as she walked over to give Remus a big hug. "She is going to be fine, I feel it."

"I hope so… she has been making progress." Remus said as he rubbed is hand over the stubble on his face.

"What do you mean progress?" Sirius asked as he turned around to see Paige's bruised and sleeping face.

"She squeezes my hand when I squeeze hers and she also mumbles things that actually makes sense. That's what gives me hope, most of the time when people go out of their mind they say nothing that makes sense but Paige has been saying our names in her sleep." Remus said looking at Paige and smiling.

"Good morning, or at least I think it is." Kat said from her pillowing making everybody stop breathing from shock.

"KAT! Don't you ever do that to me again." Sirius said as he jumped onto the bed and grabbed Kat.

"Sirius my head is killing me and your grip isn't doing anything for it." Kat laughed as she hugged Sirius back. She smiled as he let go looking into her dark black eyes before smothering her in an earth shattering kiss. Kat could feel his hot breath on her face as he slowly molded his lips to hers.

"Sirius, you could let her breath you know." James said as he watched Sirius attack Kat with kisses.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what I would do without you." Sirius said as he looked at a surprised Kat.

"I did what I had to do to save you." Kat said kissing his cheek.

"Aw look the lovebirds are back." Lisi murmured in a baby voice mimicking Kat and Sirius' actions.

"How are you feeling?" Lily asked as her and Lisi ran up to Kat, James behind them.

"Besides the killer headache I'm fine. Can someone get Madame Pompfrey and tell her I'm up and to get me something?" Kat asked rubbing her temples.

"Yeah, I'll go." James said as he walked to Madame Pompfrey's office.

"While we're waiting for him I want to know what happened to you while I was asleep." Kat said poking Lily in the stomach.

"Do you remember in second year when I explained to you why Severus meant so much to me?" Lily asked softly looking down at her tiny hands which were now folded in her lap.

"Yeah, I was mad because you ditched us at the pond to go study." Kat grinned at Lily before letting out a slight chuckle at the memory.

"He took me there; he took me to the park by my house where we met. I didn't realize where I was until he started talking about me and Petunia and how scared she was of him and how interested and excited I was. He seemed out of it before he snapped his fingers and then we were in another place, it was dark and cold and I remember seeing my breath frost in front of me, it was about the only thing I could see. All of a sudden I heard him behind me and he started telling me his memories of me." Lily said looking at Kat and frowning making the lines on her forehead more prominent.

"But he hated Petunia, why would he talk about that memory." Kat asked confused before feeling Sirius' arms tighten around her and pull her closer to his thick muscled chest.

"That's exactly what I thought when he was telling me this. I didn't understand why he would bring up painful memories when all he was trying to do is get away from them by trying to steal me away. Then he snapped his fingers again and we were in my bedroom. He sat down on my bed and started telling me why he needed me more than James. He said that he could get through anything painful whether it was memories or actual spells if he knew he could have me. He said that James could live without me because he doesn't love me like Severus did so he went on for what felt like hours until he asked for my answer." Lily said looking through the doorway of Madam Pompfrey's office to see James talking with her.

"Answer to what?" Kat asked as she tried to sit up more which only made her head hurt worse.

"He wanted me to go away with him… he wanted us to start a life together. It hit me then that the reason he took me away is because he knew he could never get me away from James so he asked Malfoy and the rest of those asses." Lily said looking at Sirius who had a bewildered expression on his face. He had never heard Lily talk of her experiences of Snape and guessed it was one of the things that came with the package of a growing friendship.

"I'm guessing you either said no or you're just getting kicks out of stringing James on." Sirius laughed a bit as he heard a chuckle from Remus who was again with Paige beneath the sheet that was once again covering her bed.

"I felt horrible, Sirius. Who am I to take away the one thing that makes someone happier than anything in the world but at the same time I was angry and I knew that I didn't want him in my life anymore. So I did what I'm best at." Lily grinned at Kat who grinned back up at her.

"Strategize and organize." They both said before giggling or at least as much as they could with a headache.

"You two scare me." Sirius said with a snort as he laid back on the wall the bed was against.

"He asked me to say something and I told him no and he practically cried in that room, so I broke. He kept on asking me if he could see me at least once a week and I told him only on my conditions and he agreed so he brought me back to the outskirts of Hogsmead. I went to my room and cleaned up before hurrying to save his ass." Lily sighed as she stood up to meet James.

"What are you talking about love?" James asked before kissing Lily on the cheek.

"Nothing important, just little jokes to keep Kat feeling better." Lily said squeezing his hand.

"She's going to need it after taking this." Madame Pompfrey said as she measured a thick brown gooey liquid into a plastic cup and handed it to Kat. "This might cause mild discomfort in your abdominal, throwing up after smelling food, restlessness or sleeplessness, or may cause you to pass out; I've seen both."

"What in the bloody hell are you giving me?" Kat asked her voice cracking.

"A pain drawl that helps with side effects from serious spells." Madame Pompfrey said shoving the cup in Kat's hand before looking at Sirius. "No pun intended."

"Of course not, Lily will you come with me to get something to eat I don't want to get Kat sick." Sirius said after flashing Madame Pompfrey a devilish grin.

"Why do you need me…" Lily started to ask before Sirius hand covered her mouth.

"Because I get so lonely and I need a beautiful woman to bump my ego." Sirius said making puppy eyes at Lily.

"Go Lils, Sirius doesn't bite… hard." James said giving Lily a slight push.

"I don't want to know how you know that but okay." Lily said before taking Sirius outstretched arm that he practically threw at her. They stayed like that as the climbed up and down stairwells and floors until they were close to the kitchen where Lily stopped pulling Sirius to a halt beside her.

"What was the real reason you needed me to come with you?" Lily snapped as she pushed Sirius up against the portrait of fruit.

"Wow nothing gets past you now does it?" Sirius snorted as Lily's grip on him tightened.

"Black if you don't start spilling I'm going to have your balls at the bottom of my purse is that clear?" Lily snarled pissed that Sirius wouldn't talk.

"Why Miss Evans you can hold my balls any day." Sirius winked at her. "Why didn't you tell James what happened."

"I did, why would you think I didn't?" Lily asked letting her grip on Sirius fade slightly.

"First of all I know you didn't tell him because you covered it up when you talked to Kat and because your left eyebrow twitches when you lie. I'm surprised James hasn't noticed that… he usually knows way to much about you."

"Sirius if you don't hurry up." Lily said tapping her foot on the ground and crossing her arms.

"You didn't tell James what happened with Severus, I'm guessing you gave him an excuse that you expect him to tell us and you have a reason for said lie. I want to know the reason for said lie." Sirius said raising his eyebrows at Lily.

"The reason I lied is because James couldn't take the truth of knowing what I agreed to and he wouldn't let me be with Severus alone, not that I blame him. Severus would get mad and try to hurt my James again which I would absolutely not stand for so I didn't tell him. Either way it will all be over soon." Lily said looking at the portrait of fruit with interest.

"What do you mean over soon?" Sirius said eyeing Lily thoughtfully.

"The condition on me and Severus' deal is that I stop seeing him once I marry James." Lily said as she looked up at Sirius' tired face.

"Marry? When did James ask you to marry him?" Sirius asked raising his eyebrows. "Are you pregnant?"

Lily glared at him before slapping him behind the head. "Do I look like I'm pregnant?"

"No of course not but you never know… how do you know they would hurt James?"Sirius asked going back to his serious façade.

"I just have his feeling, okay." Lily said before reaching to tickle the pear only to get stopped by Sirius.

"Lily Evans never does anything without evidence; she doesn't run on feelings, that's what Kat does for you. They threatened him?" Sirius asked quietly although no one was around.

"No he didn't." Lily said turning her head sharply.

"I never said he I said they. You left something out of your story, I know you did because you paused and your eyebrow twitched. Someone else was with you… who was it?"

"SIRIUS!"

"Are you going to get that?" Lily said pointing at the pocket of Sirius' jeans that held his two way mirror.

"Not until you tell me who was with him."

"SIRIUS!"

"Sorry I can't do that."

"SIRIUS!"

"What do you want Remus?"

"Paige is up!"
