Maybe Someday.

It was dark and stormy when Lily Evans woke from her sleep in the middle of the night, in the middle of a dream that was utterly horrifying. She had dreamed that Death eaters had come after her and her family. They had gone into hiding and were forced to change their names. Lily Evans had become Lily Potter. Just the mere mention of the name made Lily's blood boil. But to dream about the name, that was even worse, even if it didn't have the egotistical boy attached to it. She dismissed the dream soon and went back to sleep, as all around her was still erupting in the noise of pouring rain, claps of thunder, and the bolts of lightning. Off in the distance a green light glowed.

'Up! Get up! Now!' it was the shrill call of the bird named Petunia, funny as it were to Lily, she thought that the name didn't suit her sister. She seemed far from the pretty flower she was named after. Horse like teeth, elongated neck and a face that looked like the back of a bald eagles head. That alone summed up Petunia's look for you. Lily grudgingly dragged her self from her warm bed and into her adjoining bathroom. She took a quick shower and headed down stairs.
The room seemed empty and she soon figured out that her father was missing. His loud comments about the paper and his raucous laughter at the comics he always read. This morning was rather quiet without the usual filler of his voice. Lily sat down and her mother appeared from the kitchen wearing a pink apron over her pale dress, she was holding a plate of pancakes, lily's favourite breakfast.
'Morning Mum.' Lily greeted her mother.
'Morning Love, good sleep?'
'Yes, where is dad, was he called out on work early?'
'Your father left early this morning, he should be back at around twelve. What are you getting up to today? Petunia is going into town to meet with Vernon, why don't you go with her?'
'I was planning on staying at home; you know organising my things for school. But if Petunia doesn't mind, I would have loved to have gone, but I still have to proof my Potions Essay.' Said Lily as she dug into her breakfast. Just her last comment earned her a glare from her older sister.
'I'm sure you wont be missed Lily.' Whispered Petunia.
Lily sneered at her sister. She didn't want to go to her pathetic meeting with her sister and her oaf like boyfriend. It was all in spite. Lily finished her meal and cleaned up her dishes and went back up stairs.
Little did Lily know that the police where investigating the murder of said father. She went up to her room her pulled her trunk from under the bed and pulled out her potions book. She lay back on her bed and devoured her self once again in the book of her favourite subject. Lily was just about to fall asleep when a shriek from down stairs awoke her from midday dream. She ran down the stairs and saw her mother crying and blowing her nose on tissues from the box that was in front of her.
Lily walked into the room and found a police officer who was talking to who she assumed was he commanding officer. She tapped him on the shoulder. He excused himself from the conversation and turned and faced Lily.
'What is going on?' she asked gesturing to all the officers and to her mother.
'Your Lily Evans correct?'
Lily nodded still in confusion.
'Please take a seat. At the early hours this morning your father was killed. Whether it was a hit and run, or something else we aren't sure, one thing we know is that the giant illuminate skull was in the sky again. So it could be the work of Lord Voldemort, notorious serial killer.'
Her father was dead. Her loving, caring papa was gone for ever. She felt ashamed at the tears that fell, he would not want her to cry over him, and Lily bowed her head to hide the tears. She wiped them away and looked at the police officer.
'Thank you. If you don't mind I have to go and call my sister.'
Lily left the room and called Petunia, asking her to come home. The police stayed around asking questions until Petunia came home. Lily was up stairs when she heard her sister shriek like her mother. Lily grimaced in pain and scrunched her eyes to stop the fall of tears and she kneeled on the floor sobbing. She stayed like that for half an hour. Only rising when she heard some one crashing up the stairs. Her sister crashed into the room and slapped her, sending an off footed Lily to the ground again.
'THIS IS YOUR ENTIRE FAULT! IF YOU WEREN'T SO ABNORMAL HE WOULD STILL BE HERE!' Petunia screamed while she sobbed. Lily stood up again.
'THIS IS NOT MY FAULT PETUNIA! I DIDN'T ASK FOR HIM TO DIE! I LOVED HIM TOO! I MISS HIM JUST AS MUCH AS YOU IF NOT MORE!' cried Lily, letting the tears she tried to hold fall. Petunia lashed out again but missed. She wiped away her tears glared at Lily.
'IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FAULT EVERYTHING THAT GOES WRONG IS YOUR FAULT! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE! YOU'RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING FREAK WHO SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALIVE! YOU ARE A WASTE OF SPACE LILY MAY EVANS! A WASTE OF SPACE! A WASTE OF GOD GIVEN TALLENT THAT IS YOU! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE! I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!' Petunia screamed, not caring if she hurt her younger sister's feelings. But it did hurt Lily. She turned red with rage and hit her sister continually until she backed her out the door.
'GET OUT! GET OUT NOW! LEAVE ME ALONE! I NEVER WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN!' she screamed and slammed the door shut. Lily ran around her room packing her trunk. She had almost packed everything when she heard something smash, she looked behind her and saw a photo frame on the ground broken, the glass every where. It was a photo of Lily and her dad. New tears of sadness sprung to her eyes as she fixed the frame and put in it her trunk as well. Lily closed and locked her trunk and pulled it down the stairs to where her mother was.
'Lily! Lily what are you doing?' her mother asked.
'I'm leaving, I can't take any more of Petunia mum. I'll write, but I am spending the last night of my holidays at a pub in town. Good bye mother.' Lily said while crying. She hugged her mum. Lily caught a taxi into London and walked the rest of the way to the Leaky Cauldron. There she spoke to Tom, the Barman and was given a room for the night. She hauled her trunk up the stairs. She made it to her room (room 11) and collapsed on the bed. That night, Lily cried her self to sleep on a lumpy bed in a damp room in the Leaky Cauldron.

It was September 1st and Lily woke bright and early. She pulled out a small bag from her trunk and packed a few things she wanted for the train. Lily also pulled out a black shirt and low rise denim pants and thongs. She had a shower and pulled on her clothing. She packed up her trunk and pulled it back down stairs. She ate breakfast in the pub that morning and waited outside on muggle London and hailed a taxi to get to Kings Cross Station. On the way there, Lily pulled out one of the books in her bag. It was her family photo album. On the way to the station she flicked through all of the photos bringing back long lost memories. She didn't even know she was crying until she felt the silent falling tears wet her lips.
First chapter well prologue done, it is longer than the original. This is the new version of Maybe Some day and this is only the beginning. I thought I would post it see how many people like it so far and then decide to continue on. but this is only a taster, I still want to finish And So it Ends my Dramione fic. Once I am up to chapter 15 or 16, depending on how many people reviewed this and what they said, I will post the first chapter of the Lily and James story.
Many Happy Returns
