"HELP!" Lily screamed through Potter Manor. She realized that it was the middle of the night and it was bloody scary that someone was screaming help through their house, but Lily could care less, Sirius was close to dying, and she was hurt badly. She just hoped that the Potter's were as nice as her Dad made them out to be.

Unknowingly, tears began to fall from her eyes. Whether from the stress of being thrown back in time, how she's holding her dying Dad's godfather in her arms, or the fact that she was under an unforgivable curse less than a minute ago, she did not know.

Fleamont and Euphemia Potter came rushing down the stairs after Lily's call for help. James followed after them in his quidditch pajamas.

"Sirius!" James yelled, rushing towards his best friend, who was limp and lifeless.

Euphemia and Fleamont instinctively started performing healing spells, having worked as Aurors who deal with stuff like this daily.

Lily stood there and watched as they took Sirius from her arms and started helping him. Tears poured down her face.

How could people live life like this?

"What'd you do to him!" James said, standing up and pointing his wand at Lily who looked up at him with sadness.

"James stop!" Euphemia told him and went back to working on Sirius' leg.

"His mum, sh-she used the Cruciatus on him," she sniffled and looked down at Sirius.

Euphemia looked up at the redhead.

"His mother!?" She exclaimed angrily.

"I told her to s-stop, and then she came after me. She thought I was a muggle and then- and then she used it on me. But Sirius punch- Sirius punched her in the face, then used Petrificus Totalus on her. He got dizzy and fell on me. He said- he said to bring him here." Lily struggled to speak due to the fact that she was crying and hiccuping. Lily wanted to go home.

Fleamont Potter had seen terrible things, but a mother using the Cruciatus on her son was unimaginable.

Fleamont sat down next to Lily, leaving Euphemia with Sirius.

"Where does it hurt?" He asked, scanning her body for injuries.

She wanted to say that her whole body hurt, but obviously, that wouldn't help at all.

"My chest and back. My head feels as if it's about to split. And I think I s-slammed my left arm into a book-shelf." Lily explained.

Fleamont started assessing her injuries, and made her sit down, and then went to grab potions from their closet.

James sat in disbelief.

Who in Merlin's name was this girl, he thought.

James watched as Euphemia helped cure Sirius of his injuries. Earlier in the year, Sirius explained more about his home life, about what his parents did to him, and James offered him a place to stay if he ever needed it. Sirius would always be welcome at the Potters. He was glad that Sirius came, and was able to be healed. He didn't think that the girl could heal as well as his mum.

The girl- he didn't know her name -seemed odd. She sorta stared off into space, thinking probably, and it confused James. Sirius and James were best friends, brothers. They told each other everything, but he didn't know about her. It was weird, in a way, he felt upset that his closest friend didn't tell him about this girl.
