*Lucys POV*

  They had left a while ago, and my wand had been taken away from me. I took a chocolate frog that someone had left. My parents came a while ago but I pretended to sleep. Doctors came in, taking tests and whatnot. I was playing around when Padfoot and Prongs came in.

  "Hey," I said. Padfoot started to pace, "Wait what happened?" Prongs just came out with it, "Snivellus is still going to stay and finish school! That fucking Slytherin-"

   "You did start the duel, you could be expelled as well." I pointed out. "How are you not angry about this!?" Padfoot asked me.

  I shrugged, "I guess it's because first of all, James started the duel. That's against the rules, no dueling meaning that you could be, I repeat, expelled. Second of all, He did try to kill you/Lily/me, and maybe he'll go to Azkaban but I already put someone in there so."

  "But you're not mad?" Prongs said, "Dumbledore defended him!" Padfoot said. "Hold up, Dumbledore defended him for trying to kill me?" Padfoot nodded. "Hm, ok, then I am mad."

  After an hour, Prongs left. Padfoot stayed though. "How did you do it?" He asked me, "How can you just throw yourself to protect others?"

   I thought about it. "Because I can't let other people die. I wouldn't care if I did. I don't know how I could live my life knowing I didn't do anything to save that one person. If someone died, I would feel like that's on me. And—" I started but was interrupted when Padfoot kissed me.

  "I would feel like your death was on me. I don't want anything to happen to you," He started to shake a bit, "I can't lose you. I almost have, multiple times. I can't let that happen again."

  After what felt like forever, the questioning finally came. Minnie came and visited me. "Hello Lucy." She said, "Hi Minnie." I replied. "You heard that I'm supposed to question you? About the werewolf bite?" I nodded.

  "Was it from Mr. Lupin?" She asked me.
I nodded. "Lily followed James and then Moony noticed James wasn't thinking straight so he protected Lily but he didn't change. I jumped in front of them when he tried to bite them and Prongs took me away from there."

  "You should've gone straight to Madame Pomfrey," "We couldn't take the chance Minnie." "I understand." She asked me questions that she was going to tell the doctors and everything but I asked her something as she was leaving.

  "Is it true Professor?" I asked her, "True that Dumbledore defended Snape?" She looked at me and said, "Yes."

How could he? That son of a bitch!
He's going to have an earful when he notices that—

  "Ok."

  After all, that was all I needed to know.

  A week later, I was free to go back to Hogwarts. It was near Christmas, but James away going to leave because he was hosting a Christmas party. I declined and said I had things to do. I certainly thought that he would get the clue, but obviously he didn't when he asked Moony.

  We were in the dorm room when I heard Prongs ask him, "No James, I can't go to your Christmas party. Why? I'll give you one fucking guess."
And then he realized why.

   "Moony! What did we say about the swearing? Put a Knut in the jar!" I said putting my book down. We kept a swear jar by the door, and he walked over to it and took out a Knut and put it in.

  "Honestly Prongs, check the moon phases at least once in a while!" Padfoot said, "Geez! Lums and Moony I thought would say it but you?" Prongs started, "Wow, cold Black." James said, while Sirius smirked.
