Chapter 2
Lily hadn't seen or heard from Malfoy's gang in the last three days, not since she had had enough of their torments and knocked three of them unconscious. She had secretly hoped that no one had noticed, she didn't want the school thinking she was crazy or something.
They already thought she was weird because of how much she read, not that she really cared what they thought.
Not that she would admit it to anyone but herself, but she was shaken up that day. She knew that eventually they would push her too far, but she didn't know what would happen when they did. She could remember everything, her anger rising up and the wind getting stronger as it did . She felt a power surge through her; it was like adrenalin to her. Like her blood was rushing around her body that fast, that her magic was multiplied.
She felt like the world had slowed down, the wind somehow, making her feel even more powerful. She couldn't even remember the spells that she had sent at them, but she knew which one she would have used on Lucius, if Dumbledore hadn't have stopped her.
With the amount of anger that was coursing through her veins she would have used an unforgivable curse, mean it and actually do harm.
Evidently, Dumbledore did stop her, and the reason it scared her; well she had never been that angry before.
---------------------------------
Lily sat in the Great Hall waiting for her friends to come back from Hogsmead. She sat there and looked around at the people who hadn't gone. She saw a few first years sitting at the end of the table, playing Wizarding chess. Lily was good at Chess and assumed that Wizarding chess would be the same. She continued to watch them, and saw the queen kill a pawn.
Lily sat shocked as the first year cleared the pawn of his board. It was definitely nothing like ordinary chess. Even though being a sixth year, she had never actually stopped and watched people play chess; she just assumed it would be like the normal chess. Now she wished she would have taken the time to watch.
She looked further up the table and saw the ever famous giggling girls. As usual they were sitting just a few seats down from James and his friends. Although they all seemed to be ignoring the girls, Lily knew that they loved the attention.
Just then James looked up at her and locked gazes. They were just staring into each others eyes, for what seemed an eternity. Until Lily's friends sat down beside her and made her break contact.
"Hey Lily, what was all that about?" Lily looked from her friend and then back to James.
"I…don't know" Lily shook herself and tried to clear her mind. "How was it, Hogsmead I mean?"
Then her friends launched into a long explanation of what they had done, and that they met a group of guys. Lily was only half listening, why had she not broken eye contact with him before her friends got there? She had felt paralysed, like she couldn't look away even if she had wanted to. She looked back up at James and noticed he was back into his conversation with Sirius.
Lily put all thoughts of James to the back of her head, and continued to listen to her friends, talk about the guys that they were meeting again, the next weekend.
-------------
Lily had gotten back into her normal routine. She had seen Lucius once since the incident and he didn't say anything to her, until the week after.
It was Saturday again; Lily's friends had snuck out to Hogsmead to see the guys from the previous week. And Lily was yet again sitting by the lake, reading.
It was as if it was all repeating itself. Lucius and his cronies were walking up to Lily with smirks on their faces. Lily was prepared this time, if he even lifted his wand to her, she would be ready.
"Evans, you think that after last time, you would have learnt your lesson"
Lily laughed "Don't you mean, you should have learnt your lesson, I don't remember being warned. Wasn't it you who was warned"
His smirk was soon gone "You filthy little mudblood. How dare you, you hex my friends and now you gloat? I will soon wipe that smirk of your face"
Lucius lifted his wand up and was just about to mutter a curse when one was thrown at him. It only made him stumble back a little bit. He looked up at Lily for the source of the spell. However not only did he see Lily, he saw James.
"Potter, come to protect a fellow mudblood?" Lily looked at James and saw the anger in his eyes. Why had he gotten so angry at that remark? Lily had heard it so often now, that it didn't mean anything to her. Obviously James wasn't used to hearing it.
"Malfoy, you will regret ever saying that" James shot a curse at Malfoy which he deflected and it hit a near by tree.
Lily just stood there, transfixed by the site before her. She couldn't do anything, it was if she had been put into a full body bind, but she knew she hadn't. She watched as James and Lucius shot curses at each other. She saw one of his cronies lift up his wand at point it at James. Lily didn't necessarily like James but she didn't want him to be ganged up on in a duel, so she pointed her wand at him and muttered a curse "Reducto". The guy immediately fell to the floor in pain. The scream he let out caused Lucius and James to look at him and stop their duel, for now.
Lucius looked at Lily "What did you do?"
Lily smiled "I used a Reducto curse on his nether regions" all of the remaining boys winced as they looked on at the boy in pain. However that didn't last long as Lucius was throwing a curse at James. James quickly dodged it and threw one back. It was done at such a speed, that Lucius couldn't think of another spell, so he just deflected it.
Everything went in slow motion from then onwards. Lily looked at James who had turned to her, she looked at Lucius. Who had also turned to her and then she saw it. A stream of blue light came towards her, and before she could do anything, it sped up and hit her directly in her chest.
The last thing she saw as she was falling to the floor was James's face, the look of horror and upset.
She felt her back hit the floor, and everything went black.
