Just A Dream

Chapter 1-Prologue

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

Dumbledore sent him on that mission. She just wished it could've been her instead. In the dead silence of their house, one word escaped her lips, "James."

Tears rolled down her face. This was the sad state of Lily Potter; she was hardly 18, but knew this had to be the worst she'll ever feel. She was wearing her wedding gown and knew she'd have to face the truth that night at the church.

On the couch next to her was every letter he'd ever written her. Picking one up, she read:

Lily,

I love you more than everything in the world. There's nothing more important to me. No matter what happens to me, know I love you. If I die, the last word from my lips will be your name.

James

The tears fell faster and she sat there sobbing when she heard the door open. She didn't bother to pick up her wand to try to defend herself; she decided it didn't matter who it was. She felt two hands on her shoulders and heard her best friend Katy say, "Oh Lily, you've been like this all week haven't you?"

From the sobs, Katy assumed she had. She took the letter from Lily gently and read it. Her eyes traveled to the box of letters and said, "Lily, look at me."

Slowly, Lily turned around to see not only Katy, but James' best friend Sirius Black. "Lily, you loved him, we know that, but he'd want you to try to move on," Sirius told her. "He'd want you to know that he doesn't want you to dwell over this."

"Never."

"Lily-" Katy started.

"No," Lily cried. "I'll never move on. I'll love him for the rest of my life."

"James," she whispered to no one in particular before she broke down again.

A/N: I realized I forgot a disclaimer. I don't own anything you recognize. Also, please review!!! The more reviews I get, the sooner I'll upload another chapter! By the way, I know this is short, but I'm pretty sure the next chapter is a lot longer.
