Just A Dream

Chapter 2- The Funeral

Disclaimer: Yay! I remembered it! I don't own anything you recognize, I promise.

He promised never to leave her. Why? Why'd he go? She wanted to live with him forever. It was all Dumbledore's fault that she'll never know forever. She'll never know, she'll never know-the thought rang through her head and she found herself unable to breathe through her tears. Sirius and Katy helped lead her upto the front row, but she felt invisible as she heard everyone say, "He's not coming home now."

Mrs. Potter put her arms around her daughter-in-law and Lily whispered, "This isn't happening. It can't be happening. Not to me. It's just a dream."

She sobbed, but shook with anger when she saw Dumbledore come to te front of the church. He said, "Lord, please assure us he's in a better place and heal the deep wounds inflicting so many in this church, especially Lily Potter, Sirius Black, Amanda Potter, and Howard Potter. Now please stand and join me in singing a song in the memory of James Ignotus Potter."

Lily stood, but couldn't sing, so she just listened:

You were my friend,

You meant the world to me,

This just can't be the end,

Please tell me this is just a dream.

You had friends who loved you more than life itself,

And without you pieces of our hearts just can't go on.

It's just so hard to understand how,

You could really be gone.

No one can imagine how much I'll miss you,

I can't believe that I have to live my life without you.

To know you're not coming home,

Without you, my life will feel so alone.

You had friends who loved you more than life itself,

And without you pieces of our hearts just can't go on.

It's just so hard to understand how,

You could really be gone.

You had friends who loved you more than life itself,

And without you pieces of our hearts just can't go on.

It's just so hard to understand how,

You could really be gone.

Lily decided then and there that that song was the saddest song she'd ever heard. Dumbledore handed her an Order flag while she cried. She clutched it to her chest and the memories floded back to her. There was so much they could've known, but now all she had left of him was this Order flag. She didn't think it was good enough.

Dumbledore preyed on people so good they'd go on deadly missons for the Order and Lily wasn't happy about it. She'd lost James. She'd lost him and it was all Dumbledore's fault.

Every member of the Order, then sent up black sparks, and as they fell, she felt her heart shatter.

How could he leave? Why did he go on that mission? He knew he might not come back alive. She'd always dreamed of being with him forever, but now that possibility was lost.

She might've been in the middle of everything, but she felt like she was separated from the world. The words from different Order members echoed in her head. "He's not coming home now." "I can't believe he's gone." "He was such a great person."

Through her tears, she whispered to no one in particular, "This can't be happening to me. I loved him. This is just a dream. Just a dream. Just a dream."

A/N: Okay, this whole story is finished. It's going to be 4 chapters, and as much as I'd love to say otherwise, they're really short. But, I hope you like it anyway and please review! I love any kind of feedback, good or bad. By the way, the song used in this chapter is mine, although it's one of the worst I've ever written. Oh, and thanks owanalilypotter for reviewing! The more you review, the sooner I'll post the third chapter, where Lily will confront Dumbledore.
