Disclaimer: I am not J.K Rowling, I hope you know that by now. If not, wow. You really have not read the disclaimers. They take time to type, you know! ;)
Thank you to J for reviewing! I am in Ravenclaw too, and my wand is willow. It's nice to know that you would be ready for a duel! Expelliarmus! :)

Everyone, follow J's lead.
You are awesome, by the way. You review. More than once.
Enjoy this one xx

It's about nine o'clock when there's a knock on the door, and I stand up, hoping it's not James, forcing me to do rounds.
No, he wouldn't do that.
I open the door, and look up at the person standing there. Sirius.

He grabs my arm and drags me down the stairs, out of the door and into a deserted passage.
"Merlin, Sirius, where's the fire?" I grumble, and he lets go, looking worried.
"You know."
"Excuse me?"
"You know, don't you?"
"Well I do know that you're freaking me out."
"You know about James'...prongs."
"Prongs?"
He looks suspicious and a bit nervous.
"I mean, I know he's doing something illegal, if that's what you're on about."

He relaxes and runs his hand through his hair. "I saw the paper on the table. Look Evans, you really can't tell anyone. It would get us in Azkaban."
"Us?"
"I mean...him. It would get him in Azkaban."
"Us...James is Prongs. The nicknames. You're Padfoot...Remus is Moony...Peter's Wormtail. Moony...full moon. You and Peter, you're like James, aren't you?"
He shuffles from foot to foot and says nothing.
"Padfoot...padded feet. What has pads on their feet? Wormtail...like a mouse?"
I step back, desperately trying to piece the clues together. Then it comes to me:
"You, Peter, James. Dog, rat, stag, right?"

Sirius looks a bit scared, but impressed.
"Yeah, but you can't tell anyone-"
"How did James break his arm?"
"He broke it?!"
"Yeah, but-"
"Woah..."
"Yes, but how?!"
"Look, Evans-"
"You were out with Remus, weren't you? Last night."
"Maybe..."
"You IDIOTS!"

I start to pace, up and down, up and down, fists clenched.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous that is? You could be dead!"
I turn at look at him, tears glistening in my eyes, and he looks shocked.
"Don't you realise what could have happened? What would have happened if you had died, all of you!? What would happen if..what would I do if... Sirius..what if...what if...James, he...he..."

I'm crying now and Sirius walks over, holding me by the shoulders, and speaks in a firm voice. "Come on, Evans."
He puts his arm around me, and steers me down the corridor, as I desperately try to compose myself.
He says the password to the Fat Lady, and we walk in, him leading me up the stairs to the boys' dormitories.
"Sirius, I can't-"
"You're Head Girl. You can go in the Forbidden Forest, without breaking at least four rules, so you can go into a boys' dorm."

Pushing open the door, he calls out.
"Everyone decent? Everything decent?"
"One minute!" A voice calls out, so we wait for a minute until I hear a muffled shout. "All clear, I just had to move your magazines! It's only me in here, anyway. Why?"
"I brought Evans!"
Remus appears in the doorway. "Why? What- Merlin, are you okay Lily?"
I nod, wiping away my tears with the back of my hand. "I'm-hic-I'm f-fine."
"Come on." He grabs me gently by the hand, and pulls me in, steering me over to the tidiest bed, so I sit down and tuck my hair behind my ears.

"What happened, Pads?"
"She worked out why we're called our nicknames, and she got a bit...worried. A bit worked up."
"A bit?" Remus sounds quizzical. "A bit? I think I've seen Lily cry maybe, once?"
"Okay, a lot. She couldn't handle the fact that Prongs might...you know..."
"She is over here, you know." I stand up and walk over to them. "You guys are idiots, you know that?"

Remus nods solemnly and Sirius stands up a little taller. "And proud of it."
I sigh. "Do you know where James is? He said he would be with you guys."
"He went to the kitchens with Wormy."
"So, Sirius, how did you get into our common room?"
"I nicked Prongs' wand." He produces it from his pocket, and drops it onto the bed next to him.
"How long have you three been Animagi?"
"Fifth year." Sirius looks proud of himself, and I have to admit I'm really impressed.
"That's insane! Most wizards and witches need training, and it's mentally exhausting too, and you guys didn't even get professional help. Not to mention that you're kind of breaking the law."

Remus laughs dryly. "I told them. I told them, again and again. Fortunately, Prongs and Padfoot are incredibly stubborn. James never did give up on you, see?"I smile ruefully, and Sirius smirks.
"Watch this, Evans."

With that, he closes his eyes, and where he was standing before, there's a huge, wolf-like black dog, the kind I cross the road to avoid. It bounds over, and nudges my hand, so I stroke its head nervously. It rubs itself up against my leg, tail wagging madly, and I notice that its coat is just like Sirius' hair. A minute later, Sirius is standing there again, and his hair is all over the place, but he's grinning broadly. "Impressed, Evans?"
I raise my eyebrows. "Sure, Snuffles."

Remus grins. "Snuffles. That's a new one. Remember that time that Prongs called you-"
Sirius huffs and transforms again, running over and tackling a sniggering Remus. I sigh, smiling and grab my wand, flicking it towards them. "Levicorpus."

They're both hoisted up in the ar, and I laugh and laugh and laugh at the sight of a large, mangy dog, desperately trying to paw at a red-faced, dishevelled Remus. "Come on, Lily!" Remus calls, disgruntled, and Sirius, the dog, growls at me.
I whisper the counter-curse, and giggle as they fall, hitting the ground, hard. Sirius jumps up, transforming quickly and grabbing his wand, and I squeal, leaping onto the bed nearest me and hiding behind a pillow.

Then, the door opens and I let the pillow fall to the floor, looking up as Peter walks in, his arms full of sweets.
Behind him, though...
James.

If you haven't got this already, I update a lot on weekends.
Oh, and be like J.
Review.
Go on, you know you want to.
It's not that difficult.
I promise.

Buenos dias,
