Needless to say Lily's sleep that night was disturbed. She had eventually drifted off to sleep after Moaning Myrtle had disappeared down a drainpipe, however she awoke regularly due to the pain across her body and the nightmares.

She was running, but she had nowhere to go. She was in a forest, surrounded by the deadly colour of green, the colour of Slytherin. She tried to scream but every time there was a hand or a gag in the way. James didn't even know where she was.

She heard Marcus before she saw him. The loud groan of the door being forced open echoed throughout the huge bathroom creating an eerie tension as Marcus approached Lily. She was still chained to the sink and she was covered in dried blood from both the chains and the cleansing. Her uneven hair stuck out at odd ends around her face; she looked defeated.

'Morning beautiful!' Marcus chirped as he entered. 'Brought you your clothes for the day and a wand to use, with supervision, so that people don't speculate about your hair! Your story is that you were practising a spell and it went wrong i.e. the hair issue!'

'Ok, but I'd appreciate it if you let me out of these chains and gave me some privacy.'

'I don't think so babe, I'm standing right here whilst yu dress and your wrists will still be clamped to the sink, but first, we need to have a chat. It's 5am in the morning so we're not expected for hours! I get that it's a Sunday but you have to wear these clothes or we will know…seriously! So, now for the fun part'

Then before she had a chance to react, Marcus' mouth was smothering her own and his hands were already halfway up her bloodstained shirt. She shoved him off with a lot of work, but in doing so she banged her head on the basin behind her.

'You're nothing but a filthy mudblood after all! I thought you might decide to take the better route but you're just a piece of filth. Get dressed now, and I'm watching.'

James thought it was odd. He hadn't heard from Lily since yesterday afternoon and that was extremely unusual for the two of them. She'd mentioned that she was helping Peter with homework but he'd never left the common room. Things were still a bit sensitive with Peter so James had decided not to mention it, he couldn't be a done with a new argument. However, he was beginning to get worried. What was Lily up to?

There was a thick smog of tension in the room between both Lily and Marcus. The uniform had been Slytherin so when Lily pulled a face, Marcus wasn't best pleased. The skirt was ridiculously short and the top looked like there was half missing. She had used to wand to twist her hair up, hiding it's shortness and what a mess it was. The shoes were high heeled and they would never ever have appealed to Lily. She was petrified of what James would think, he would think she was some sort of desperate idiot. This was about to be the worst day of her life.
