There was silence, a lot of silence, when she tried to open her eyes she gasped at the brightness, and slammed her eyes closed once more. She was aching all over, her arms stung horribly, her head was banging and she felt like a rag doll.

"Ow!" Lily cried out as she tried to sit up, her whole left arm was throbbing.

"Lily." Someone said softly, Lily slowly opened her eyes to see Regulus sitting there, his eyes were red and puffy and he seemed to be shaking.

"Wh-what happened?" Lily asked uncertainly. "I... er... I went out with Remus... We were... The moon... Oh no!" Lily gasped as the memories flooded back to her.

"That was about three days ago." Regulus said, his eyes were watering.

"Where's Remus?" Lily asked. Regulus pointed to a door across the room.

"He's been..." But Regulus seemed unable to tell her.

"Please Reggie what's going on?" Lily asked desperately.

"Once James got you back here he went to help Sirius keep control of Remus. Then in the morning Sirius was so angry at Remus, he started punching him, and kicking him and Remus didn't fight back." Reggie told her, Lily's eyes watered. "They found him here yesterday morning, he must've sneaked in during the night, when The Nurse found him he had taken something." Lily gasped, her hands flew to her mouth, and tears fell down her cheeks. She shook her head. "James told me when they went to collect him the morning after he transformed that Remus had no strength in him, he was exhausted he'd been crying so much, he looked like he'd beaten the crap out of himself."

"NO!" Lily sobbed.

Mars stood outside with Dora, Allie and Nay they were letting Regulus talk to Lily, Sirius was elsewhere, unable to face his little sister when she was in this kind of state.

"Oh God!" Nay gasped at hearing Lily's sobs, tears running down her face, she felt someone wrap their arm around her shoulders and she turned to see Lucius stand there, Severus was also with him, with Skylar wrapped in his arms.

"How is she?" Sophia asked as she came into view.

Allie shook her head; the group lapsed into a silence, the only sound that could be heard was Lily's sobbing. This was broken however when they heard foot steps and James appeared with an ill looking Sirius. There was silence for a few moments, and then a piercing scream sounded from inside he hospital wing and a large smash. Sirius ran into the room and was shocked with what he found.

Lily was standing there, throwing anything in her reach and Regulus was crouched behind a bed.

"Lily!" Sirius cried out as she smashed a vase against a wall.

"NO!" Lily screamed she picked up a book and threw it at him; her aim was poor with the tears blurring her vision. "IT IS YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!" Lily screamed, pointing at Sirius accusingly. He turned to see his friends staring at the scene in horror, he looked back at his sister to see the bandages on her upper arms, her left arm was in cast from her wrist to her elbow, there were multiple cuts and grazes on her face, and her legs were torn apart, and Sirius was terrified, there was blood seeping through the bandages on her arms, and the drip that had been put into her right arm was torn out.

"Lily! Stop, please!" Sirius cried, tears pouring from his own eyes, and it seemed Lily would have to stop because she wobbled slightly on her feet before collapsing, Sirius ran to her lank form, and wrapped her up in his arms. "Regulus, get mum, we're sending her back."

The nurse had been furious when she returned, she'd left them alone for fifteen minutes so she could gather more potions from Horace Slughorn, and the place was a wreck, when they explained to her exactly what had happened she did feel pity towards them, they just didn't have any idea of what to do.

Later that night Catherine Black arrived as Sirius had asked and was currently talking with Dumbledore, Sirius sat with Lily in the hospital wing while Regulus stayed with Catherine and Dumbledore to explain what exactly had happened.

When Catherine walked into the Hospital wing she gasped at the state that Lily was in.

"Sirius!" She cried. "We asked you to look after her!" His mother cried, tears pouring down her pale face, Sirius sobbed, he knew it was his fault in some way, he should have just not let her date him, or at the very least have old her the truth about Remus.

"Mum, I thought she was dead." Catherine looked at her soon with a pitying expression through her tears, and wrapped him into her arms, kissing the top of his head as he sobbed. Regulus joined them, and Catherine wrapped her other arm around him too, the three sat there for a while in total silence and not knowing what to do next.

"Don't send her back to Beauxbatons." Regulus said desperately. "We'll look after her."

"Reg, I can't look after her, she's been here a month and already she's in the hospital wing, I can't do this." Sirius said deflated.

Catherine looked at her two sons, and sighed.

"I'll talk to David; see what he has to say on this. He wanted to come, but being a muggle he couldn't." Catherine said and then sighed again, she kissed Lily's forehead and then left.

"Sirius, they can't take Lily from here, she needs to stay." Regulus stated once his mother had gone.

"We can't keep her here, you and I both know why she was sent here in the first place and she obviously isn't happy here." Sirius said with a deep sigh.

"But this is where she belongs." Regulus argued, Sirius shook his head and said no more.

Remus opened his eyes regretfully; this wasn't what he had exactly planned, scratch that, there was no bloody plan. When he awoke the next morning he could remember everything, there was still blood on his hands that wasn't his own, he took it all out on himself until he collapsed. The next thing he remembered was Sirius screaming at him, and then feeling lots of pain, and knowing he deserved it, he refused to fight back, he had no right to. And then finally he remembered drinking, a lot, his friends were concerned, he stumbled through the corridors until he reached Lily's bedside, she was so pale, he kissed her once softly on the lips, before pulling something out of his pocket and eating it, the affects with the alcohol were staggering, and then everything went black.

Tears formed in his eyes as he remembered seeing Lily's limp form.

He couldn't believe he had done that to her, he'd hurt her.

This is why Sirius didn't want him dating her, this is what Sirius was trying to protect her from, and he'd failed them both.

"Lily is so angry wit you." A voice said from the doorway, it made Remus sob harder then before. "What were you thinking, taking some stupid drug?" Severus said from the doorway. "All she knows is the guy she is mad about is trying to ... What were you even trying to do? Kill yourself?" Severus asked harshly.

"You didn't see what I did!" Remus yelled at him suddenly.

"No, what I saw was someone who wanted to talk to you desperately, not because she was angry at you, but because she was concerned for you, only to find out you nearly topped yourself." Severus drawled.

"She doesn't understand." Remus muttered.

"Of course she doesn't, you never explained it to her." Severus replied lazily, Remus looked up, the tears still falling from his eyes, and Severus took pity on him. "She's not angry at you for attacking her in your werewolf form, but she is furious that you are an idiot and landed yourself in here."
