They were friends. Something terrible happened. Then they became enemies. Follow how,when and
where it happened!




1. A hunting we will go
-----------------------

“Oh great, I’m going to be late,” a redheaded 11 year old girl said to her parents.

“There is no platform 9 ¾ honey, I don’t know how you will get on the train,” said Selena Evans.
They were at the train station and about ready to send their youngest daughter to a school named
Hogwarts. It was a school for witches and wizards. Selena and Dominick Evans were surprised to find
out but pleased to have another magical person in the family. Dominick’s brother Gabriel was a
wizard.

“But uncle Gabe said that you are just supposed to walk through the wall!” exclaimed the
redhead.

“I will not have my daughter run into a wall and get a concussion!” cried Mr. Evans.

“I wouldn’t mind, the freak would be out of my life,” mumbled Petunia, the redheads older
sister. The redhead sent her a glare.

“I love you too, *Petty,*” she snarled. Petunia absolutely hated the nickname her sister
had given her. She was just about to retort when she was cut off by their mom.

“Oh look! There’s a boy that has a owl too. Hey sir! SIR!” The young boy turned around and
raised a eyebrow at the lady that was running up to him pulling a girl about the same age as him
behind her. “Are you going to Hogwarts?” He nodded. “ This is great! Lily, my daughter is going
too, this is her first year and we have no idea how to get onto the platform! Could you help
her?”

He was to busy staring at the beautiful girl trying to get away from her mother to understand
what the strange lady was saying. ‘Crap she asked me a question, what to say? What to say?’ he
thought. “Sure.”

“Thank you, thank you! Now Lily follow this nice young man and don’t go pulling any stunts.” At
the mention of stunts the little girl smirked.

“How was I supposed to know those things exploded? If Petty would just stay out of my stuff she
would still have her eyebrows.” she giggled.

“You knew Petunia would want to see what you bought. You did it on purpose.” her mother
exclaimed.

‘She plays pranks,’ he thought. ‘I could get used to her.’

“ Well the train leaves soon so lets go,” he stated while grabbing her hand and pulling through
the barrier.

***

Once on the train Lily was sitting in a compartment reading a book. There was a knock at the
door and a blonde head popped through the opening. He looked sickly and pale but friendly too.

“Hi, do you mind if I sit here everywhere else is full?”

“Go ahead, are you a first year?” she asked.

“Yeah, my parents were so happy to get rid of me.” he said sourly.

“Why would your parents want you gone? My dad didn’t want me to leave, he said I would grow to
fast and he wouldn’t be able to see me before… well he was just really sad to see me go.”

“Well, I’m pretty sure that my parents hate me. Ever since I was five they’ve acted like I have
some kind of disease and if they’re near me long they will catch it.” he growled. He sounded so
bitter that it scared Lily a little. “Oh, I forgot, my name is Remus Lupin.”

“Remus that’s different, mines Lily, Lily Evans.”

“Well Lily have you read Hogwarts: A History?”

“Yes! It is so amazing. Did you know that there are close to 15 secret passageways?”

“I do believe I read it somewhere,” he said smiling, “it sounds like you like to cause
trouble.”

She giggled then grinned evilly, “Trouble is my middle name.”

Remus laughed then said, “Well Trouble, I think this is the start of a great friendship.”

“Oh so true! Now should we go find a victim?” she asked while wiggling her eyebrows.

“Lets,” he stated. They linked their arms together and started skipping and singing down the
hall.

***

The young man from the train station was sitting in a compartment with three other boys. One had
blonde hair that looked as if it hadn’t been washed for weeks. He had watery blue eyes and was
slightly plump. The one sitting in the middle had blonde almost white hair and piercing gray eyes.
Just by the way he looked the young man new he was from a snobbish pureblood family. The young man
gave him a nickname of Monster. The next one was gazing, no more like glaring out the window. His
new nickname would be Window Glarer. He was a lot better looking than the other two boys. He had
long black hair and bluish-gray eyes. He also had a small cut by his right eyebrow.

“Well, let me introduce myself,” said the Monster, “my name is Lucious Malfloy. You may know me
from my uncle, Sebastian Malfloy. He is a very respected wizard, not many people get to work with
him but his boss has a couple of openings and well he wants younger wizards. Are you
interested?”

“What type of job is it?” asked the grimy blonde haired man.

“Oh it’s a wonderful job, you get to bring down the wrongdoers, the ones that don’t belong at
this school. The ones that cant be trusted.”

“Malfloy, you stupid git! Do you honestly think that two of the most muggle loving families in
all time will join the Death Eaters? You are the wrongdoer, killing muggleborns and muggles. You
are the one that cant be trusted.” the window glarer ranted.

“Death Eaters?” squeaked the little man.

The monster completely ignored the question, “Who do you think you are? You have no right to
talk to me like that. A Black, a muggle lover? That pathetic. I bet your dear old mummy doesn’t
like that too much.”

“First Black in my family to care about other people and man am I proud about that! And your
right my mum hates it, doesn’t matter though she hates everything about me. Anyway who are you
guys?”

“I’m Peter Pettigrew,” said the short plump one.

“I’m James… sshh, do you hear that?”

*“A hunting we will go! A hunting we will go! High ho the cheerio, a hunting we will go!” two
people were singing then stopped abruptly.*

*“Remus, do you here that?”*

*“Hear what?”*

*“Silence,” she whispered. Then she slammed her body up against a compartment door that had
the blinds down.*

“What the hell was that?” asked the Black kid.

“Pettigrew, go check,” Malfloy commanded. Peter got up and peeked through the blinds. There was
a small girly scream that emitted itself from his throat before he fell backwards.

“What is it?” Screamed Lucious.

“An-an EYE!!” Peter whimpered. “A HUGE GREEN EYE!”

James just about started laughing but went to see what it was instead. When he open the door he
got a surprise. There rolling on the floor was the redheaded girl he helped onto the platform. She
had tears running down her face he guessed from laughing so hard. She was with this strange boy
that had scratches all over his face. He would have looked intimidating if he wasn’t rolling on the
floor laughing as well. They had no idea that he was there.

“Did you hear him scream?” asked the strange boy.

“He sounded like my sister when there’s a shoe sale!” she laughed but stopped immediately when
she heard someone clearing there throat behind them. When she turned around she saw four people and
started laughing again. “It’s you!”

James smirked, “We haven’t even gotten to the school and your already scaring people. You should
be ashamed of yourself.”

She grinned, “I am, it’s just really deep down. Oh and I’m sorry for scaring your friend, we
just need some fun!”

“No problem we were having a really depressing conversation anyway.” said Black.

“I hope we livened it up,” said Lily’s friend, “but we must go.”

“Go find another victim,” she grinned evilly. And they started of down the hallway again. One of
the boys left but the other three just stared after them.

*“Hey Remus, do hear that?”*

*“Hear what?”*

*“Laughter.” she yelled. He grinned, “Oh, a hunting we will go. A hunting we will go. High ho
the cheerio, a hunting we will go!”*

Still in the hallway Peter spoke up first, “She was pretty.”

“She was weird,” Black added.

“I like her,” James stated.

**Ok so this is my first story. I know that its not the best and that the part about the eye is
a little lame but what can a muggle born girl do without knowing any magic.**

**I wont update till I know that you like the story**



2. Dreams
---------

“Follow me please, the Great Hall is this way,” said an old and wrinkly woman. “Give me a moment
and then we will start the sorting.” She set of for the huge doors directly in front of them.

“I wonder what they do for the sorting?” asked a girl with blonde pigtails.

“I heard that they send a werewolf after you and if you survive they have you put on this hat
thing that sucks out parts of your brain.” Sirius stated trying to scare the girl.

Remus’ face was contorted in anger his knuckles were turning white because he was clenching
them. “Not all werewolves are bad you know,” he yelled.

“Yeah they are! They feast on little kids, my little brother was attacked by one!” screamed a
boy from the back of the group.

Remus was literally shaking by now. “Remus, please call done,” Lily pleaded. She also sent him a
look that said ‘You-are-so-going-to-explain-this-later.’ Before he could say anything the professor
came back.

“This way children,” said the old woman. They followed her through big oak doors and Lily
gasped. There were candles floating by themselves above the tables. The ceiling was exactly what it
looked like outside. ‘It has to be a spell,’ she thought, ‘a very cool spell.’

“Surprised?” whispered someone in her ear. She whirled around and came face to face with one of
the guys from the compartment they attacked. “Name’s Black,” he said extending his hand to her.

“Lily Evans, do you know what we do-” she started to ask but was interrupted by an annoyed
professor.

“Quiet! When I call your name please come forward. Sirius Black.”

He walked swiftly to the front of the room next to a stool with a hat on it. “See, I told you we
had to wear a hat!” he bellowed. Most of the first years snickered. Black was then sorted into
Gryffindor.

Maryann Beckler was sorted into Hufflepuff along with her twin Marcus. Chad Chanley was sorted
into Ravenclaw. When it came to be Lily’s turn she was getting nervous. Slytherin seemed like a
nasty group and no one had made it into that house yet. What if she was the first?

“Lily Evans.” Lily gulped and made her way up to the hat slowly. When the hat was settled on her
head she could swear she heard it talking.

*“What the… what’s going on?” she thought inside her head.*

*“Ooh, just the sorting. You seem brave, daring and intelligent. I see you like to get into
trouble just like that Black boy. Well then I guess it should be…” the hat whispered in her
ear.*

“Gryffindor!” The table in the right corner stood up and cheered loudly. Lily ran as fast as she
could to get there. She sat right next to Sirius and smiled widely. He smiled back, he really was
starting to think that she was okay for a girl anyway.

She wanted to talk to him about the boy that helped her, but turned quickly when she heard
Remus’ name being called. After a minute or two the hat called out Gryffindor. Lily screamed and
jumped up to hug him as soon as he got there.

“I can’t believe it! The hat was going to put me in Ravenclaw but I wanted to be with you and
here I am!”

Around five minutes later Lily was trying to remember the name of the boy that helped her onto
the train but couldn’t recall if he said it or not. She didn’t realize that he slid in across from
her and was staring at her. When Remus nudged her in the ribs she finally looked up and smiled when
she saw him. “Hi.”

“Hey.”

Lily blushed, “ I don’t know how to say this but what’s your name?” Sirius laughed, Lily glared.
“What?”

“You guys seemed all nice and friendly on the train, then Potter said that he met your parents
so I guessed you two were a ‘thing’ but I guess not!”

Lily blushed crimson and James stared with his mouth wide open. “No, we are not a thing!”

“Nope, definitely not a thing!” she stuttered.

Remus chuckled as he got up to follow the prefect, “Ok, whatever you guys say. By the way his
name is James Potter.” Peter, James, and Sirius all got up to follow Remus, leaving Lily to stare
after them.

“James,” she whispered softly.

***

The next morning Remus, Sirius, Peter, and James were waiting for her down in the Common Room.
Remus was reading a book, James was gazing into the fire with a sad smile on his face while Peter
and Sirius were pacing and complaining about starving to death.

“Finally, these stupid idiots wanted to wait for you,” Sirius said pointing at James and Remus.
“Now that she’s here can we please go eat?”

Lily grinned, “ If I would have know you were waiting for me I would have taken longer, but I’m
starved too. Lets go!” Lily ran as fast as she could out of the Common Room with Sirius close
behind, then James and Remus. Peter was the last of them stopping every once in awhile to catch his
breath.

Once in the Great Hall they all piled their plates full with food. A couple seats away from Lily
were three girls that were watching them eat and looking disgusted. “I thought only guys were
supposed to eat like pigs,” one girl said.

Lily turned and glared, “At least I’m not anorexic.” The girls glared back, got up, and left the
Great Hall.

“I can’t believe you just called them that! They are every guys dream girl!” Sirius
exclaimed.

“Don’t tell me you like those… anorexic bimbos!” **(Bimbos! I love that word!!)**

“Maybe I do. Why? Jealous?” Sirius replied.

“Yeah right… your not really my type.”

“Bet Jamesie is your type,” he muttered.

James stopped mid chew, “What the heck,” he swallowed, “how did I get dragged into this?”

Sirius ignored his new friend and went on interrogating Lily. “Come on Lils, admit it! You like
James! You like James!”

“Black, knock it off!” Lily whimpered.

“Lily likes James! James likes Lily!”

“Black, I’m serious, stop!”

“Your not Sirius, I’m Sirius!” James, Remus, and Peter all started laughing. Lily put her head
in her hands trying to hide her laughter it wasn’t working that well.

***

“Ooh, Merlin help us!” cried Professor McGonagall while watching the five 1st years
laugh. “These next seven years are going to be the death of me!”

“Minerva, don’t talk like that there just children! How bad can they be? I bet they won’t be in
the infirmary at all!” exclaimed Madame Pomfrey.

Dumbledore’s eyes twinkled, “ Do you see the girl with the red hair and the boy with the
glasses? James Potter and Lily Evans. They belong together. I know it.”

“How do you know that, Albus?” questioned Pomfrey.

“It came to me in a dream last night. All of them were in a hospital room. James was holding one
of Lily’s hands while she was holding a baby in the other. I believe they named it Harry, I really
like that name.”

“You do remember the first time you had a dream about the future, don’t you?” McGonagall
asked.

“Of course, it was absolutely dreadful, the last two have been different though.”

“Do you think that the last two are the same person?”

“They did look alike, both had those beautiful green eyes.”

“Well then we better hope they get together otherwise no one will be able to stop him,” Minerva
said sourly.

**Okay second chapter is up. Hope you guys like it!**

**Just to clear up the dream part, Dumbledore has had 3 dreams. The first one was about Tom
Riddle and the last two have been about Harry. They somehow show him the future!!**

**I don’t plan on updating till I get a couple more reviews!**



3. boxers
---------

“Which class do you like the most so far?” Remus asked Lily after the first week of school. They
were heading out to the Lake to finish some homework.

“I would say Charms, then maybe History of Magic. I just wish that Professor Binns wouldn’t be
so boring. What about you?”

“Definitely Defense Against the Darks Arts.” They reached the old tree beside the lake and sat
down. Lily was staring off into the forest.

“Remus?”

“Hmm.”

“The first night we came here, in the Entrance Hall, why did you get so angry?”

Remus’ head snapped up. He was not ready to tell anyone about his condition. He was thinking
about all the friends he had lost, he couldn’t risk losing Lily’s friendship. She made him feel
alive, that nothing could ever stop them from having fun. He had no clue what he would do if they
weren’t friends anymore.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. Its just been bothering me for the past couple of day.
I know we don’t know everything about each other but I still consider you my best friend. If
something is hurting you or bothering you I want you to tell me.”

“I consider you as my best friend too, but there are some things that I’m not ready to tell
you,” he said sadly.

“I understand, is someone in your family a werewolf? Never mind, don’t answer that.”

“It’s ok, and I guess you could say that,” he said while throwing a rock at the Giant Squid.

“Merlin, Remus, I shouldn’t be asking these kind of questions!”

“Lily, it’s ok but can we drop the subject right now?”

“Of course, ask me anything, anything at all!”

He chuckled, “My turn to get personal!” Lily laughed. “What did you mean on the train when you
said the your dad wouldn’t be able to see you before… before what?”

Lily blinked, “My dad has… he has cancer. The doctors gave him six months to live,” she
whispered.

“Isn’t there a cure?”

“No.”

“Gee, Lily I’m sorry, I had no idea otherwise I wouldn’t have-”

“No, now we’re even,” she sniffed, “now lets go eat before James and Sirius eat it all.”

***

Even though James and Sirius didn’t know Lily and Remus that well they knew that something was
wrong when they came into the Great Hall. They sat down quietly and didn’t say much through half of
the dinner. James and Sirius shared a look.

Sirius turned to Lily, “Biscuit for your thoughts.”

Lily looked up and gave a small sad smile, “You don’t want to know my thought right now.”

“What about you?” he said to Remus, “potato for your thoughts.”

Remus chuckled, “Same here, my thoughts are slightly depressing.”

“Dang, that usually works. What now?” Sirius whined.

“We could always try to tickle it out of them,” James suggested.

Lily tried to smile again but it turned out to be more of a grimace, “No thanks, I think I might
just go to bed.” She grabbed a pastry and got up to leave, “Goodnight.”

***

Later that night James, Sirius, and Peter were sitting in a circle on the floor. Remus was in
the Infirmary because he wasn’t feeling that well and needed some rest.

“What do you think happened?” Sirius whispered.

“Well whatever it is I don’t think they will tell us,” Peter piped up.

“Peter, think in the positive! Remus will get tired of talking to a girl. They get so giggly and
they blow things way out of proportion. So he will eventually come crawling back to us!” Sirius
exclaimed.

“You do realize that they talk together more than we do? They are perfect for each other! They
both like to read, they get good grades, they get along great together, they would look like a
great couple, they-”

“Okay, Peter we get the point!” James yelled with a grimace.

“Just saying they would work good together, and as you can tell the list goes on and on.” Peter
grumbled.

“Just shut-up!” James yelled again. “I’m going to bed. See you in the morning.” He walked
grumpily to his bed threw open his curtains, jumped in and threw the curtain closed. There was a
huge BANG and the rails that held up the curtains came down around the sides of the bed. James
growled and thrust his pillow in his face.

“Anger Management,” Sirius sang while skipping to his bed.

***

“Don’t you wish we were in our third year? I really want to go to Hogsmade, it would be so fun
and they have a joke shop! Did you know that? I can’t wait till we get to go there! Oh, I have to
owl my parents this weekend, they said they want to know everything about my classes…”

“Do you think she ever shuts up?” Sirius whispered.

“Nope. This is just the sugar from the jam she had on her toast. You never want to see her when
she has chocolate!” Remus replied.

“So your saying she’ll be like this every morning?” James exclaimed.

Remus grinned, looked behind James and chuckled. James slowly turned around and came face to
face with an angry Lily. “Are you trying to say that I look hideous in the mornings?”

“N-no, I never said tha-”

“Because I’m not like some-”

“Lily, that’s not what I-”

“Of the other girls that take the whole-”

“Lily.”

“Morning to do their hair. If you don’t like me this way then-”

“Lily, listen to me, I wasn’t talking about how you look. You look gorgeous by the way. We were
talking about how hyper you are in the mornings.”

Lily blushed, “You might have to keep me away from treats, who knows what I’ll do next!”

“Lets find out! I think I have some Cherry Chillers in my room!” Sirius grinned while wiggling
his eyebrows.

Lily laughed, “I think I told you a million times, your not my type.”

Sirius slapped his hands on his heart and fell to the floor. “Way to go Lils, break the poor
blokes heart. He’ll never love again!” Remus wailed.

“Oh no, whatever will we do? Maybe Maryann will give him one of her love potions. She sure seems
to have a lot!”

‘Noooo! Not Beckler! Anyone but Beckler!” Sirius screamed while running down the hall. There was
a huge thud probably meaning that he ran into someone. “Ah! My eyes! My beautiful eyes! They’re
ruined! I can’t see! I’M BLIND!”

James, Lily, Remus, and Peter ran to find out what Sirius was yelling about. When they turned
the corner Lily gasped. There lying in the middle of the corridor was Severus Snape. His robe were
stuck up above his waist evidently from the collide with Sirius. What was so disturbing was that
all he only had on very dirty boxers with pictures of wands on them.

Lily whirled around and started banging her head against a painting of a fruit basket muttering,
“Bad image, very bad image.”

After Severus ran to the bathroom that was only a couple of doors away James broke the silence.
“You know what? I have those same boxers.”

“You better get rid of them or I’ll scream every time you have them on!” Sirius yelled.

“I plan on I just have no idea on how to dispose of them.”

While the boys went on trying to figure out ideas like throwing them in the Forest or sticking
them on the Slytherin door and having Snape get embarrassed in front of all of his friends. They
didn’t notice a door appearing out of thin air right next to where Lily was pounding her head.

“Ah guys, I think I found the kitchens!”

**Ok, not my favorite chapter but I finished it. This is the last prewritten chapter that I
have. It might take me awhile to get another chapter up. Hope you like this chapter read and review
please!**



4. Friends
----------

**Yippee! I finally updated this story! Can you believe it? Well here goes nothing!
Enjoy!**

The rest of their first year went by fairly quickly. The gang got back at Andrea Anorexic,
Bulimic Beckie, and Starving Stacy every time that they made fun of Lily. They must have had to
play pranks on them just about everyday.

Lily’s social life wasn’t the greatest but she did have a couple of friends. She became great
friends with a 5th year who’s name was Molly Prewett. The boys thought that the only
reason they got along so well was because they both had red hair and the same hot temper.

Molly tried to get her to be friends with the three bimbos. She said that they will be the babes
of the school when they got older so why don’t you try to become their friend now. There was no way
that Lily would want to be their friends. The only way she would was if something drastic happened,
which wasn’t likely.

But Lily got bored. She want people to talk to. Sure there were the boys but you couldn’t talk
to them about girl things. If Lily told Sirius all the boys she thought were cute, he would
probably go and kill them all.

The girls in her year, she didn’t get along with. Andrea, Beckie, and Stacy made sure of that.
But there were a couple of girls that the bimbos didn’t scare off. One was in her second year, her
name was Alice Bauler. She was a Gryffindor but was really shy and quiet. She barely ever talked
and when she did it was to speak her mind. Lily counted herself lucky to be one of her friends.

Emmeline Vance was another person she talked to. She was a first year Ravenclaw. She is
naturally smart and intelligent but she only studies so that other people wont ask her to help
them. She doesn’t like talking to other people.

Marlene McKinnon was the last of her so called friends. Marlene was considered as a girly girl.
She was the only first year in Gryffindor that she actually talked to. Marlene loved to give
makeovers, play with Lily’s hair, and pick out Lily’s clothes for the next day. She also loved to
gossip, though it was never about her friends.

So those were Lily’s ‘girl’ friends. A weird little bunch, but they were easy to talk to and
they listened without interrupting, well most of the time. Anyway she could tell them anything and
know that they would never tell another living soul. That was why tonight at there weekly Thursday
night meeting, she was going to tell them who she liked.

***

“Ouch, Sirius, your stepping on my foot! Remus yelled.

“Sorry,” Sirius wailed, “maybe if James would have bought a bigger cloak we wouldn’t be having
this problem.”

“I already told you, it was my dads, he said that it was a family heirloom.”

“Isn’t there a way to make it bigger, we barely fit the way it is,” Peter whined.

“I’ve tried. Sshh, there she is!” Lily and Marlene walked into a supposedly empty classroom but
when they opened the door giggles were heard from inside.

“What do you think they do in there?” Sirius asked.

“Who knows, but there is only one way to find out!” James said wickedly.

They moved slowly and quietly to the door, pushed their ears to it and listened to Marlene
squeak. *“This is going to be so much fun! Lily said that Tink will bring some sweets up from the
kitchens. Then I will do your hair and make up. And then I could possibly tell you some extremely
juicy gossip about a certain raven haired Gryffindor boy!”*

James’ eyes were huge. Gossip… about him? How come he hasn’t heard about it till now. What if
Lily had but didn’t want to say anything because she might hurt his feelings?

“ I guess this means we are staying,” Remus concluded.

“Peter should go and get us some popcorn, then we will really enjoy the show!” Sirius
squealed.

*“Oh, Em, you look absolutely gorgeous in yellow! When we get older and are able to go to the
balls you have to get a yellow dress. There are so many different kinds of yellows like… Golden
Yellow, Peach Yellow, Creamy Yellow, and the Banana Yell-”*

*“Do you ever shut up?” Alice questioned.*

*“No, she doesn’t, you should try sleeping in the same room as her. She even talks in her
sleep It is completely horrible!” Lily teased.*

*Marlene grinned, “Just for that I’m not going to tell you the newest gossip.”*

*“Oh no! Whatever shall I do? I guess I’ll have to wait till the whole school knows about it.
Which will probably be tomorrow.”*

*“Ha ha, very funny. But you need to hear it from me since I am your bestest friend. And plus
this one is different, it is about one of your boys.”*

James smacked Sirius and Peter awake. “Guys come on! They are talking about me now! Get up!” he
whispered forcefully.

“How do you know that they are talking about you?” Sirius grumbled.

“I just do, so be quiet.”

*“If it’s about them then I am not so sure I want to hear it. Plus if is was something
important they would have told me.”*

*“Yeah, well, I don’t think that you know this.”*

*“Just tell us already!” Emmeline screamed.*

*“Well it just so happens that our little Lilykins has got herself an admirer and just happens
to be one of her little boys!”*

*“Okay, hold on, how did find out about this juicy gossip?” Alice questioned.*

*“I heard from Maryann who was told by Megan who heard from Chad who heard by Marcus who
overheard James, Sirius, and Peter in the common room.”*

*“Oh! I see, so please continue.”*

*“So Marcus heard Sirius squealing like a girl and jumping on the couch saying ‘I knew it! I
knew it! James likes Lily! James likes Lily!’”*

*“So what? Sirius made that up as a joke. He says it all the time. It is not true!”*

*“What if it was?”*

*“It doesn’t matter.”*

*“Really?” Alice asked.*

*“Yes.”*

*“Why?” Em piped up.*

*“Because I don’t like James.”*

*Marlene sat straight up and turned her head to Lily so fast that it hurt. “So who do you
like?”*

*“Well he’s really sweet. He’s smart, nice, and oh he is so cute. On my birthday he gave me a
kiss on the cheek. I was so happy that I just about fell over. I want to tell him I like him I’m
just scared that it will ruin out friendship.”*

*“Lils, your birthday was three weeks ago and were the only ones that knew… other that the
boys!”*

*“That means-” Emmeline started.*

*“That it has to be-” Alice interrupted.*

*“One of the boys!” Marlene screamed.*

*“Lily blushed and sighed, “It’s Remus.”*

**This chapter is up! I feel really bad I don’t know if I am spelling Emmeline’s name right. If
it is wrong please tell me! This chapter is a little shorter than my other chapters but not by
much! Next chapter might be awhile but I will try to get it up by the end of August. If any of you
guys read my other story then you would already know this put I’m going to put it on this one
too.**

**I have come up with a couple of other stories. I wont post them till I finish my other story
and am halfway done with this one. By putting this on now it gives me time to start writing them.

5. The Big Bad Wolf
-------------------

**I got only one review for the last chapter! Was it that bad??? I personally don’t think that
my stories are all that good, and when I don’t get reviews I happen to think that they really are
as bad as I think they are! If you like it please leave a review.**

Last chapter-

*“That means-” Emmeline started.*

*“That it has to be-” Alice interrupted.*

*“One of the boys!” Marlene shouted.*

*Lily blushed, “It’s Remus.”*

Three heads were whipped to a blushing Remus. One head was grinning wickedly. Another head had
eyes that were about ready to pop out. His fingers were clenched and turning white while his face
was bubbling red with anger. The third head was looking at Remus, and then at James, then to the
door separating them from the person responsible for the very awkward moment.

“She l-l-li,” James stammered, “she li-li, oh bloody hell, why can’t I say it?”

“Maybe your in shock,” Remus suggested, “You shouldn’t talk till tomorrow.” He got out from
under the invisibility cloak and tried to get away but Sirius grabbed his arm and pulled him
back.

“Nice try, but I want to see this!”

Sirius steered an angry and shocked James, a very frightened Remus, and a dumbfounded Peter into
an empty classroom a couple of doors down from the one that they were listening too.

“Okay, James, I know you want to yell so let it all out.”

James just stood there staring at Remus with a weird expression on his face. Since he didn’t try
to say anything Remus took that opportunity to defend himself.

“Listen, James, I didn’t know she felt that way. If you would have told me-”

“She likes you! Why does she like you? How can she like someone like, *like you*?”

Remus winced, that was exactly what his older brother said. Those words took him to memories he
never wanted to think about again.

*‘How can you mum? How can you love someone like, like him? You know what he is! He’s a
monster! And you love him! Maybe I should go.’ His brother conjured his already packed trunk and
ran out of the house.*

*His mother collapsed onto the floor and buried her crying face into her hands. His father
pulled out his want and whipped it towards the shaking 6 year old Remus in the corner.*

*‘This is all your fault! My boy left because of you! You monster! Go! Your room is in the
basement now. I SAID GO!’*

Remus shook his head to get rid of that awful memory and turned to find James pacing around the
room, muttering, ‘Remus, she likes Remus.’

“James, I didn’t know that she likes me. Please-”

Sirius interrupted, “So your only mad because Lily like Remus? I would have thought that him
kissing her would have made you even madder.”

Remus glared at him while James’ eyes got huge again. “You kissed her? How could you do that to
me?”

“It was a happy birthday kiss, on the cheek. I didn’t know that you liked her. James please
listen to me!”

“NO! Just go, I don’t want to see or talk to you again.”

“James-”

“GO!”

Remus’ eyes filled with tears but he vowed to not them fall. He told himself that he wasn’t
affected by what James had said. It had to be the memory still stuck in his head. Oh, who was he
kidding, of course it was what James said. He was losing the first real friends that made him feel
happy and they didn’t even know what he was.

***

“Remus. Hey Remus, wait up!” Lily called to him the next day. Remus closed his eyes and stayed
where he was. When she finally caught up to him she put her hand on his arm. “Remus, are you okay?
You weren’t at breakfast this morning and you didn’t sit by me in Transfiguration.”

James, Sirius, and Peter were rounding the corner. James sent Remus a glare. Remus jerked his
arm away from Lily and started walking again. Lily stood routed in the same spot with shock,
“What’s wrong? Remus? Remus?” He turned the corner and disappeared from her sight.

***

Lily walked into the Great Hall for supper the next night. She saw three of her boys, but one
was missing. She scanned the table. Ah ha, there he was. She walked to him and sat down.

“Hello.”

Remus just sat there; he didn’t even glance at her when she sat down. He just kept playing with
his mashed potatoes.

“Remus, please talk to me,” she begged.

Remus looked up with pain filled eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, shook his head
and ran out of the Great Hall.

Lily stared after him in agony. ’Why won’t he talk to me? Did I say something to offend him? I
have to talk to Alice.’

She stood and walked over to her other boys. “ Do you guys know what is wrong with Remus?”

“Why would we?’ James grumbled.

Lily looked irritated, “I don’t know, maybe because you guys are his friends and you share a
dorm with him.”

“So.”

“So, he is upset, or he’s sad. Please will you try to talk to him?”

“Mhh let me think… umm NO!”

“What? Why?”

Sirius interrupted their little argument ’now will be the best time to let her know.’ “Hey
Peter, what kind of yellow do you think that this is?” He was holding a banana with a mischievous
look in his eyes.

“I don’t know. There are so many kinds of yellows such as…Golden Yellow, Peach Yellow, Creamy
Yellow, but I think that that is Banana Yellow!”

Lily furrowed her brow, ’I heard those words before but where??’ Something clicked inside of her
head. Her eyes grew wide with shock then narrowed with frustration. “You were spying on me? How
could you?” Her eyes widened again, “How much did you hear?”

They all looked away from her with shame.

Lily racked her brain, trying to figure out when Remus started acting strange. ’Two days ago.
The day after our Thursday meeting.’

“No, no NOO! How could you guys do that? You invaded my personal conversations! And you guys
wont talk to Remus…” Her eyes widened for the third time. She whipped her head towards James. “Did
you yell at Remus?”

James looked her straight in the eye, “Yes.”

“Why?” she shrieked.

“He kissed you! That’s- that’s breaking the code!”

“What code?”

“I don’t know. The Guy Code!” he sputtered.

“Oh, for Merlin’s sake!” she stood up and stomped out of the Great Hall and all the way up to
the boys dorm in the Gryffindor tower.

“Remus! Open this bloody door!” She screamed while pounding on it with all her might.

“Go away.”

“Remus, don’t make me!”

“Please, Lily, go away.”

“NO! *Alohomora.*” What she saw surprised her. “Remus, wh-what are you doing?” she asked
softly.

“Packing.”

“Wh-why?”

“I don’t belong here.”

“Of course you do! Please Remus stop.” She ran to his bed and started taking out some of the
stuff in his trunk and putting them back were they belong. Remus would go around and collect them
again. He finally let out a frustrated sigh and went to grab her hands so she could take anything
else. When he got close enough to her he stopped when he realized what she had.

Lily gasped. She grabbed a stack of books from his trunk. When she was at the shelf she looked
at the top one. *Werewolves: need help controlling your inner beast when you transform?*

‘*Breathe, Lily, breathe,’ she started telling herself, ‘you knew that this was a
possibility’* She turned around only to find Remus staring at her with fear and pain in his
eyes.

“Lils, you weren’t supposed to find out,” he whispered.

“Oh, Remus, I would have found out anyway!” she sobbed and ran to him. She tackled him with the
biggest hug he had ever gotten.

“Please don’t tell anyone,” he pleaded into her hair.

“But Sirius, James, and Peter…”

“Promise me Lily. Plus they’re mad at me.”

“I know.”

Remus pulled away from the hug, “You do?”

“I just found out, that was the original reason why I came up here.”

“Oh.”

“I know you know that I like you, but if you don’t feel the same way about me then- then-” Lily
sighed, “we can still be friends right?”

“Of course,” he said as he laid his head back on hers.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course.”

“Are you going to help me unpack your things?”

“Of course.”

“Are you going to talk to the boys?”

“Of course.”

Lily grinned, “Are you the big bad wolf?”

“Of course.”

She burst out laughing, “Then it’s a good thing then that I’m not a little pig.”

“Oh, I don’t know you sure do squeal like one!” he said while tickling her sides.

“S-s-stop!”

“Nope.”

Lily was laughing so hard that she fell to the floor with Remus beside her. When he finally
stopped tickling her she laid her head on his shoulder.

“Remus?”

“Mhh.”

“Do you like me?”

“Lily, your like a sister to me,” Remus sighed then grinned, “but I’m pretty sure that my
feelings can change.”

“Oh.”

“Promise me.”

“What?”

“Promise me you wont tell anyone.”

“Remus…”

“Lily.”

“You have to tell them!”

“I will. When I’m ready.”

“They deserve to know. But as long as you tell them, I promise.”

“Good, now lets go eat, I’m starving!”

**Okay that is the chapter. Remember I want reviews. I need to know if you like the story, if
you don’t I might just abandon it because I have other stories that I can do that I’m hoping people
will like. This is the last chapter for their first year the next update they will be in their
second year. (If I update!)**

**I’m not sure when I will update again because school starts in a week and I start my first
job that same day! Wish me luck please.**

**Remember please review and I still need to know what order you want those other stories
in!**



6. Dirty Little Secrets
-----------------------

**I’m sorry if I offended anyone by asking for reviews, wont happen again.**

**I believe that this will be the only chapter for their second year. I really want to get to
their third year. My original idea for the next year has turned into be like three, but I’m pretty
sure that I will be able to make them all fit!**

**Enjoy!**

“Daddy, I want you to meet someone.” Lily said to her father at Kings Cross Station on September
1st. It was the beginning of her second year at Hogwarts. Dominick Evans was the only
one from Lily’s family that brought her there. Her mother had taken Petunia to the mall to buy some
new clothes.

Lily loved her father, more than anything else in the world. They would do almost everything
together, when Lily was younger and her dad healthier; she would accompany him to the auto shop and
help. Sometimes she would even take a greasy rag and rub it on her arms and face just so she would
look like him.

She would do anything for him. If she could use her magic, she would have taken away his cancer.
The six months that the doctors gave him turned out to be more than a year. He was still active,
not as much as he used to be but he could at least walk. Sure he needed a cane, but he didn’t let
that stop him.

“Ok, honey, go find them. I’ll be right here,” he said weakly.

Lily smiled wryly and ran off. She only found three of her boys and it only took a couple of
glares for them to follow her.

“Dad, these are my friends. These two,” she said while pointing at James and Sirius. They had
very wide eyes and were staring at her father’s cane. She elbowed James in his side, trying to get
his attention elsewhere. Then she continued speaking, “These two are James and Sirius. This is
Remus,” she said beaming.

Dominick chuckled, “Lily talks about you guys all the time, especially Remus.”

Lily’s eyes got huge and her cheeks turned crimson, “Umm…lets go find a compartment. Goodbye,
Traitor.” She grabbed James and Sirius’ arms and tried to pull them with her.

It didn’t work out the way that she had planned. James and Sirius hooked their arms through
Lily’s and picked her up. They twirled her around and planted her firmly between them.

“We’re not done talking to him yet. This could be really fun! He could tell us all of your dirty
little secrets!” Sirius said gleefully.

Lily looked horrified; her eyes were wide and silently pleading with her father. Mr. Evans
laughed a deep throaty laugh. “I would love to tell you Lily’s dirty little secrets but this is not
the right time or the place. Owl me chocolates and I might just send a certain video back,” he said
with a wink.

Lily blushed again, “Daddy, you love me! You wouldn’t send them that!”

“And why wouldn’t I?” he teased.

“Because it is embarrassing!” she shrieked.

Dominick chuckled again, “There is nothing embarrassing about a 2 year old taking a bath. It is
the hygienic thing to do. Plus I was only trying to tape you playing with the bubbles. Do you
remember the bubble beard?”

“Dad!” she squeaked.

“Sorry sweetie, but you don’t realize how much fun this is!” he stated with a twinkle in his
eyes.

The warning whistle blew; Lily went to her father and enveloped him in a hug. She whispered
softly, “I’ll miss you. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Don’t leave me,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“I wont, sweetie, I wont,” he said with his own water filled eyes.

She kissed his cheek and ran before her friends could see her tears falling down her face like a
waterfall.

***

Their second year passed just as fast as the first one. Sure there were some new event, but only
one that was out of the ordinary. **(Will get to that later.)** Otherwise, everything was nearly
perfect.

The guys weren’t fighting anymore, last year Lily locked all four of them in a small, empty,
classroom. They vowed never to fight again unless it was a *very* important matter.

Andrea, Beckie, and Stacy didn’t talk to Lily all year. They glared a lot but the never
talked.

Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter played pranks on the Slytherins every week. Mostly the
pranks were directed at Severus Snape. James, Sirius, and Remus had caught Snape staring at Lily
many times.

Lily stilled had her weekly Thursday meetings. She cared for her boys, very deeply, but she
didn’t trust them completely. So she placed charms on the doors and made sure to take the
invisibility cloak with her. (They had told her about it after James and Remus had stopped fighting
last year.)

That one extraordinary event was happening right now. It was May 21. Everywhere you would turn
you would see sorrowful faces. Lily had no clue as to what was going on, but judging by the looks
on the Slytherins faces, it had to be bad. They were all grinning like idiots, especially Lucious
Malfloy.

“Guys, what’s going on?” she whispered.

“You don’t know!? How can you not know?” Sirius exclaimed.

“Mate, she is muggleborn,” James reminded him.

“Oh.”

They were silent, all thinking different things in their heads. Lily couldn’t take it anymore,
“What in the world is going on?”

The boys looked at each other silently asking who would be the one to tell her. Three out of
four pairs of eyes landed on James.

“Why me?”

“Your parents were here at the time, therefore, you know more that us.” Sirius stated as if it
were the most obvious thing in the world.

James glared at Sirius, Sirius glared back, it turned into be a glaring contest. Sirius was just
about to win when Lily cleared her throat clearly exasperated. James closed his eyes and turned to
Lily.

“Today is a twentieth anniversary.”

Lily’s eyes narrowed, “Aren’t anniversaries supposed to be happy?”

“This isn’t a happy one, it is a death anniversary.”

“Death?”

“Twenty years ago on this day, a student was killed at Hogwarts.”

“What? How?” she cried indignantly.

“I’m getting there so stop asking questions.” Lily huffed, but looked back at James urging him
to continue.

“About a month into the school year, someone opened a thing called The Chamber Of Secrets. My
parents said that it was horrible, the person wrote with blood on the walls. Some of the students
were petrified. My mum’s best friend, Christina Rendegez, was the first one petrified. It was a
disaster, 17 people got petrified! Then on May 21, there was this girl in the first floor bathroom.
Everyone used to make fun of her, so some people say that she was in the bathroom crying. A prefect
was doing rounds, and the unlucky girl didn’t have a big bladder, so she went to the nearest
bathroom. She found the girl lying on the floor, eyes open in horror and as cold as ice. Some say
that she never left the bathroom, that she is still there. I don’t believe it though.”

Lily’s face was pale, her eyes wide, and her hands shaking. “Moaning Myrtle,” she whispered.

The boys looked at her confused, wondering how in the hell did she know the poor girls name.
Lily suddenly bolted and ran out of the Great Hall. James, Remus, and Sirius ran after her, Peter
stayed; he didn’t have his desert yet.

Sirius finally caught up to her, he grabbed her arm and whirled her around. “Where in Merlin’s
name are you going?” he panted.

“Myrtle… Moaning Myrtle… bathroom,” she squeaked. Her eyes were glazed, as if she were in a
trance. Her hands were still shaking and clammy.

“What are you talking about Lily?” James asked out of breath.

“Bathroom. I need to get to the bathroom.”

“Lils, are you going to be sick?” Sirius asked as he took a step away from her.

She shook her head, “No. Moaning Myrtle, in bathroom, have to see if true.”

The boys looked from one to the other with huge eyes. Finally Remus spoke up. “To see if what is
true? Lily, you are scaring us!”

What Lily did next made them all jump back in surprise. “MOANING MYRTLE IS IN THE BATHROOM! SHE
IS A GHOST! I HAVE TO SEE IF IT IS TRUE! If she was the girl that was killed twenty years ago,” she
screamed, her voice slowly getting softer with each word.

Remus slowly took a step toward her and wrapped Lily in a hug. He whispered gently in her ear,
“Lets go find her.”

**Okay… yeah not my favorite chapter. I needed a filler so I could get to their third year
faster. I had no clue as to what I should do for this chapter, and the Chamber of Secrets has been
in my head for a while so I decided to write it in this chapter.**

**Did you know that Voldemort would be like 60 years old! Come on, what 60 year old can move as
fast as he does in the books! I find it very funny. It would be like my grandpa chasing after
me!**

**Guess what! My brother always used to make fun of me for reading Harry Potter. Then one day
last week he asked me why I always read and type on the computer. (I read fics and type my own.) I
told him it was for Harry. He said that he wanted to know what was so special about him. So I gave
him the first book. I read about 10 pages to him every night. (He’s only 8 years old.) He said that
he likes it and he cant wait to read the next one! I was so happy!**

**Confession Time: Okay, part of this story is kind of out of my own life. My uncle has bone
cancer. He has had it now for just about 4 years. In December, the doctors gave him 6 months to
live. Then in the middle of July they gave him till August 3. He is still with us, but just barely.
I went to see him this weekend, he looks horrible. His skin is gray and his eyes are sunken in. I
can’t stand to look at him because it is a reminder that he is really sick and could die at any
moment. I just wanted to let you know that my usual typing time, I will be spending with him.
(Weekends) I have no clue when I will be able to update again, and I am sorry for that.**

**Well, I hope that you at least enjoyed the chapter! Until next time, Angel 737.**



7. The Letter
-------------

**I’m back… Sorry that it has been like a month but I have been really busy. I work every day
and then there is my homework, so yeah my days are really long! I just finish writing this
yesterday so I decided that I should probably type it for you guys!**

**Here is the newest installment!**

“SIRIUS!” Lily squeaked as she launched herself as him. He laughed as he twirled her around. He
laughed even harder as she squealed and buried her head in his neck. After he set her down she
hugged him. “I missed you guys so much! Have you found the others?”

“No, I have been with my parents the whole time.”

Lily looked over his shoulder and finally noticed three people looking at her in disgust.

“Are you going to introduce us to your little friend?” Asked the older man that was more than
likely Sirius’ father. The mans left eye was twitching as he looked as her.

“Father, this is Lily Evans, one of my best friends.”

A miniature looking Sirius was smirking and said, “Well, my dear brother knows not to hang
around with mudbloods. So what pureblood family are you from?”

Sirius’ hands were clenched at his sides. “Actually, Lily is a muggleborn. She is the most
amazing person that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She is smart, nice, and beautiful.”

Regulus, Sirius’ brother opened his mouth as if to talk again but Sirius cut him off. “If you
even think about saying one bad thing about her I will curse you into next week,” he growled.

“You don’t have the power to do that,” Regulus said smirking.

“I might not, but Lily sure does.”

Lily looked up as she heard her name being called. She had been studying a speck of dirt on her
white shoes. It was the only thing that was somewhat distracting her from the heated
discussion.

“If that witch touches one little hair on my baby’s head and I will kill her with my bare
hands!” Sirius’ mother hissed.

“You touch Lily and I will kill you,” Sirius countered easily.

Lily backed up as Mrs. Black lunged toward her eldest son. Sirius didn’t even flinch as he felt
his mothers wand dig into his stomach.

“How dare you talk to me like that! I brought you into this world and I can easily take you back
out. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t say it right now?” she snarled.

Lily’s eyes were huge, what kind of person would want to kill her own son? A monster, that is
who. “Sirius, please, lets go,” she begged.

“He will go when we tell him to go!” his father snapped. He grabbed Sirius’ arm so hard that his
knuckles were turning white. “Now you listen to me boy, I don’t want a person who is friends with a
mudblood in my house. So if you ever want to come home again, I suggest that you dump this wench
and find someone up to our standards.”

Lily could tell that Sirius was furious, his eyes said it all. Actually his whole body was
showing his anger. His body was rigid, his fist an jaw were clenched. His eyes were blazing, and
his hair was sticking on end.

Sirius finally spoke, the calmness surprised her to no end, “Then I guess I wont be coming
home.”

He turned quickly, grabbed Lily’s hand and ran to the train. He almost did not succeed in trying
to hide the hurt that never seemed to go away.

***

“Guess what Lily? Hogsmeade weekend is finally here! Do you remember in First year when you got
all excited about it! What store do you want to go to first?” James asked excitedly.

“I’m not going.”

“What? Why?”

“My parent forgot to sign the forms.” James gave her a questionable look. “My dad had another
one of his attaches the day I gave it to them. Mum said that it either got lost in her paper work
or it got thrown away.”

“Are you kidding me?” Sirius asked hysterically.

“Would I joke about something like this? You guys know how much I wanted to go. Just please
promise me that you will take lots of pictures and bring me tons of chocolate!”

“You got it babe,” Remus said as he put his arm around her shoulder.

***

“Lils, hey Lily!” Remus called as he ran up the corridor to a redhead holding a stack of books.
“Lily, let me help.”

After the books were sorted in each others hands, they made their way to the Gryffindor
Tower

“How was your day?” Lily asked.

“It was great but I wont tell you about it because I’m sure James and Sirius will fill you
in.”

“Sirius is going to just rub it in, isn’t he?”

“You know it.”

***

“So Lily, what did you do today?” Sirius asked innocently.

“Oh, nothing just some research.”

“Research? On what?”

“Something,” she said slyly.

Remus raised an eyebrow, James just nodded, and Sirius rolled his eyes. He waved his hand as if
to tell her to ask the same question that he had first asked her.

“Okay, Sirius, I get it. How was your day?”

“Absolutely wonderful.”

Lily faked squealed, “I would have never guessed, especially by the way that you were bouncing
up and down in your seat. So tell me what was the greatest store?”

Lily immediately regretted her question for Sirius’ face lit up with joy.

Twenty seven minutes and thirty two seconds later Lily’s head was slowly drifting downward and
her eyes were closed. But Sirius didn’t notice for her was still blabbering away.

An owl finally suddenly landed on her half eaten plate. After sitting there for a few minutes it
nipped at her fingers. She jerked awake and started to pet the bird.

“Oreo! What are you doing here?” She took the letter from the owl’s leg. She recognized her
mothers handwriting, the only problem was that instead of the usual neat writing it was messy and
incredibly hard to read.

Tears started to form in her eyes as she got halfway through it. Then bile came as she read what
Petunia had written. She could feel the piece of sausage and toast as it worked its way back up her
throat.

She got up and ran from the Great Hall, completely forgetting about the letter that held the
dreadful news.

***

Beckie immediately recognized the look on Lily’s face as she ran out. Beckie knew that Lily was
about to throw her guts up.

“Guys come on, she is going to need our help.”

“Help her? Why should we?” Stacy asked completely dumbfounded.

Andrea’s face lit up,” Because if we help her then we could get closer to James and Sirius!
Beckie you are brilliant!”

“That’s not the reason why-” Beckie started but for caught off by Andrea pulling on her hand as
she ran after Lily.

***

James, Sirius, Peter, and Remus all looked at each other, confusion evident on their faces. Ever
so slowly, James picked up the letter Lily had left behind. He began to read it out loud:

*My dearest Lily,*

*It pains me so much to have to write this. I have wished so much that I would never have to
tell you this, but I guess someone has to. Last week your fathers leg gave out as he was climbing
the stairs. He fell down and hit his head, he has been in a coma ever since.*

*I would have written this sooner but I haven’t have the time. Oh, sweetie, I still have so
much to tell you. The doctors said that his heart was dying so they put him on all sorts of
machines. Petunia got hysterical, she kept saying that we didn’t deserve to have a vegetable in the
family and that we should put him out of his misery.*

*I was going to wait to pull the plug until you saw him again, but Petunia said that the
sooner he was gone the better. I guess what I am trying to say is that your father pasted away this
morning. Petunia is going to tell you the date and time of the funeral because I just cant bare
this any longer. There is a nice hot bubble bath waiting for me upstairs. I love you honey, I truly
do.*

*This is all your fault, do you know that! Hw was on his way upstairs to get something for
you! For you! It was always you! It was like he loved you more than me! How could he love a freak
like you?*

*Well, guess what I don’t love you, I hate you! I hope that you die a slow and painful death.
I never want to see or talk to you again. Oh, and if I see you at the funeral I will personally
kill you. Oh don’t worry, Mum will understand. I’ll just tell her that you want nothing to do with
the family anymore and you want to live with your friends families so you can kill them
too!*

*And just in case you don’t understand what I’m trying to say let me summarize it for you… GO.
TO. HELL!*

Look at what I can do! I can make a… RAINBOW … isn’t it pretty! I never knew that you could do
this in a… I don’t know what to call it! An upload, a story on a website, a… oh who cares I just
know that I can do this now so expect many colorful author notes! ;P

Isn’t it pretty??? Yeah the letter was a little hard for me to write. I had no clue how to put
it but I hope that it was at least okay. I was thinking of maybe having Sirius’ family have
Voldemort kill her father but then the cancer thing wouldn’t have fit into the story at all! I
guess this was the way that it had to be.

If anybody else noticed that I spelled Malfoy wrong, I’m sorry. It was a stupid mistake plus
don’t you think that Malfloy sounds better?!?!

Oh, I am so close to having this be the longest chapter ever! Wouldn’t that be awesome! They are
getting longer every time that I write one! I cant wait to see how long the next one will be!

Umm… so yeah I have no clue when I will update again but you should expect it maybe in November!
Please don’t be to mad.

See you all next time,

Angel 737



8. The New Lily
---------------

**Hola Amigos!**

**I know, I know, it has been FOREVER. But yeah, I have my reasons.**

**My uncle passed away a week ago so yeah.**

**Well, anyway enough of my rambling and on with the story!!**

Just as the four boys rounded the corner, they saw Stacy run into the bathroom at the end of the
hall. Without wasting any time, they ran in after her. There standing over the sink was Lily,
throwing up her guts. Beckie was beside her, holding up her hair. Andrea and Stacy just stood there
with disgusted faces. That was until they saw the boys’ reflections in the mirror.

Andrea walked up to them in a way that she thought to be sexy. “Sorry about this guys. I guess
she just finally felt the need to be skinny.”

James’ eyes narrowed, “Lily is not fat. If it wasn’t for Beckie helping her I would hex you into
St. Mungos.”

Andrea glared, “Well, if that’s the case, then you need to get out. This is a girls
bathroom.”

“We don’t give a damn if this is a girls bathroom or not. Lily is our friend and we are going to
help her.” Sirius glowered.

“Out,” she said simply.

“No,” the boys chorused.

“GET OUT!”

Lily fell to the floor. James and Remus rushed to her side as Sirius kept yelling at Andrea and
Peter hid in the corner.

Lily was slumped on the floor holding her head with her hands. Remus reached out as if to put a
strand of her hair behind her ear. Before he could, Lily smacked his hand away.

“Don’t, please. I can’t handle this. Any of this. Please-”

“Get out!” Andrea shrieked.

“Shut up! Just listen to her and leave. I can’t stand the noise!” Lily hollered which surprised
everyone in the room.

“Then tell the bitc…bimbos to leave.” James cried.

“Potter, please, just let me help her. I know exactly what she is feeling.” Beckie stated
calmly.

“You know how she is feeling about puking or about her father’s death?” Sirius questioned.

That only earned another sob from Lily and two sharp glares from his best friends.

“I think it would be better if we left.” Remus said.

“But-”

“No, lets go.”

***

“I cannot believe that you made us leave her with those girls!” James bellowed.

“Yeah, they could be brainwashing her!” Sirius exclaimed.

“How are they going to do that? Make her one of their flunkies?” Remus said sarcastically.

“Remus, that is nothing to joke about. They can be very convincing.”

“All I meant was that Lily can’t stand them. It would take something horrible for that to
change.”

“ I hate to burst your bubble, but something horrible did happen.” James stated.

“Fiddlesticks.” Peter said.

“Fiddlesticks?”

“I spilled pumpkin juice on my shirt.”

The other three boys just rolled their eyes and decided to wait for Lily in the Common Room.

***

“McKinnon, have you seen Lily?” James asked the next morning.

“No. I was the only one in our room last night. It was really weird.” she replied.

“Oh, Merlin! I knew it! They killed her!” Sirius screamed.

“What is he talking about?” Marlene questioned.

“They killed her! We left her with the bimbos and they killed her! I told you! I told you! They
are evil! EVIL!” Sirius bellowed as he jumped up and down.

“You left her with Andrea!?! Are you guys crazy? They are going to make her one of them!”

“Ha! Ha ha! I was right! But no, don’t believe Sirius because he is insane. Well, guess what, I
am brilliant!”

“He is not normal.”

“He found Peter’s chocolate stash this morning.”

“Pete, you got to learn to hid your stuff better.”

“It is not my fault that he can smell like a dog.”

“Guys, stop. We have bigger problems to deal with,” Remus said as he looked at the Entrance
Hall.

Standing there was a redheaded girl that they knew as Lily. The problem was that this Lily was
not the Lily that they had been friends with. This Lily looked like a mini Andrea.

***

“Lily, what in the name of merlin are you wearing?” James asked.

“Clothes.”

“Sweetie, we can see that, but they aren’t your clothes.” Marlene said kindly.

“Of course they are mine! We wear uniforms.”

“Lily, it is so short! You bend down and we will see you bum!” Remus hissed.

“Really?” she asked as she began to lean over.

“LILY!” Marlene screeched. She grabbed her friends hand and pulled her out of the Great
Hall.

“What are you doing? This is not you! This is not my best friend!”

“This is me! I didn’t go anywhere. I am right here talking to a-” Lily stopped mid sentence and
turned to walk away.

“A what? What am I Lily? I am your friend. I want to help you. Please let me help you!”

“For starters, you can go to hell! I don’t need your help.”

Lily stormed away from the Great Hall while Marlene ran back into it, tears falling freely down
her face. She didn’t care who saw her like that, she just needed comforting. She ran up to Alice
and began to sob on her shoulder.

In a matter of seconds the boys were by her side, wondering what had happened.

After finally getting all of the facts straight James went to find Lily. He found her in front
of the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room. He walked up to her without a second thought. He pulled
her our of the chair and whirled her around to face him.

“What do you want?” she cried.

“What do I want? First of all I want to know why you are dressed as a slag. Then I want to know
why you made McKinnon cry. Lastly, I want to know what the bloody hell is going on!”

“I’m not a slag! Nothing is going on and we got into a fight.”

“You really hurt her, Lil.”

“I don’t care.”

“You are acting like the bimbos.”

“Good, at least they understand me.”

“If you become one of them, I will personally make your life a living hell!”

“Then you better bring on the fire.”

**Sorry about the ending but it is a joke between my friends and I. I hope you
understand.**

**Yeah, I know it has been maybe a couple of months but I just haven’t had any ideas for this
story, please forgive me!**

**Yeah well I wont be updating for awhile again. I need a break. There is so much going on in
my life right now that I just cant stand it.**

**Hope you guys stick around.**
