Here are the reactions to James's memory, and the epiloge, sorta. Thanks for those reviews! And sorry for not updating! I tend to do that, a really exciting chapter, and I don't update for like, weeks... oh, well, I hope that its good now!


Severus and Lily drew their heads from the memory. They were silent for a moment.

"They are really good friends," Lily said shortly, and they returned back to their silence.

"Well... Potter is still arogant and all-" Snape began.

"Did you notice how when you called them a gang he got really angry?" Lily said, ignoring Snape's comment.

"Yeah well-"

"I always thought that too," Lily said, in deep thought. "That they were just a gang... but they aren't... they're much closer."

"Well-"

"I've been wrong." Lily said, standing up, talking mostly to herself. "Potter didn't have such a happy childhood, I had a happier childhood." she took a breath. "And he didn't start that duel... you did," she said, turning to Snape. Snape fidgeted in his seat under her strong gaze.

"That makes me wonder how many other things that were not true about him." Lily wondered aloud.

"Or how many things were true!" Severus said hopefully.

"We can't tell anybody... about them being Animagus's." Lily said. Snape sighed.

"So lets go apologize," Snape said in a defeated voice.

"Yeah... yeah..." she said distractedly. She turned to the door. "We have to go apologize. And you have to too, especially to Remus," she added, glaring at him slightly. Severus sighed. There was no point in questioning and angry Lily.

They walked out of the Room of Requirements. It wasn't hard to spot Potter's gang who were suprisingly, in the library, Sirius and James lounging against the bookshelf, Remus sitting at one of the tables, turning pages of a book, and Peter sitting on the floor, looking at them in awe.

So, Snape and Lily weren't suprised.

As soon as the Marauders saw Snape and Lily, they all had different reactions. James ruffled his hair, and drew his most charming style, Sirius looked nervously at Snape (both Snape and Lily knew why) and Remus was smiling at both of them, though fear was in his eyes as he looked at Snape.

"Hi Evans," James said, smiling at her. He turned to Snape, smile and charm gone. "Snape." he said. James glanced at Sirius then to Snape. Sirius fidgeted uncomfortably.

"Er- Sniv- Snape, I need to speak to you, er, in private, and-" Sirius began.

"Actually we need to speak to all of you, apart from Peter," Lily inturrupted.

"Er- okay," Sirius said. James strutted along, and Remus walked uncertainly with them. She led them to the Room of Requirements.

She instantly told them how she had stolen some of their memories, and that she and Snape had watched them. All the marauders were extremely pale at this.

"And- what memories did you exactly take?" James said in a would-be-casual voice.

"Er, well for Black, one where you were at home-" Sirius paled instantly. "And the time where you and Potter met," Lily said. "For Remus," Lily fidgeted, guilty. "We took the time you were bitten-" Remus paled, "The time that the others found out you were a werewolf-" Remus turned red, knowing he had displayed many emotions. Lily said this one rather coldly, "And the time when Snape blackmailed you. Right after the Willow," Remus once again flushed. "And for you, when you went to Diagon Alley and got t-tortured," James's eyes widened, "When you got punched by Malfoy-" James flushed, "When you had the nightmare about the Alley event," James turned a darker shade of red, "And when you became Anigmagus's- we won't tell anyone!" she added when the Marauders's eyes widened in fear, "And when you comfronted Black about the Willow," Sirius looked down. Lily took a deep breath.

"You had no right to do so!" James said harshly, glaring at the two of them.

Lily sighed. "We know, we weren't thinking straight, but the real reason we came here is to apologize," she said. She turned to Snape, who sighed.

"Er- Lupin, I'm sorry for treating you like that, and er, you don't have to do anything for me," he muttered.

"Its fine Severus," Remus said, though he still showed signs of suspicion.

"I have something to say too!" Sirius said. He threw a glance at James, and then said to Snape. "Sni- Snape, I am sorry for what I did, I wasn't thinking straight, and I just... I'm sorry, I didn't realize you could get killed. You may be my enemy, but I never wanted you dead," he said sincerely. Snape gave a curt nod.

"And er Potter-" Lily began fidgeting even more.

"Wait, Snape, I'm sorry for hexing you, I was just trying to be someone else in the first year, and then it sort of just stuck with me. And Evans, I'm sorry for er- stalking you, and er bothering you for the past years," James said, looking at Lily.

"And Lily, Severus I'm sorry I never did anything to stop these idiots from hexing you and annoying you," Remus said, mostly looking at Snape.

"Potter, I'm really sorry I judged you so quickly. I never realized that your a such a good friend," Lily said sincerely.

"Its alright Evans," James said, smiling.

"Hey, maybe now all of could be friends?" Remus suggested. Snape and Sirius glared at Remus.

"I like that idea!" Lily said, standing next to Remus.

"I agree!" James chirped, rushing to stand between Remus and Lily, and then putting an arm around her. Lily (suprisingly) didn't throw it off.

"I'll be friends with James, Remus and Lily not Snape!" Sirius yelped.

"And I'll be friends with everyone except for Potter, Black and Lupin!" Snape argued.

Remus, Lily and James watched the arguement.

"It was worth a shot," Remus said, shrugging.
