Chapter 1

Lily Evans ran down Diagon Alley shoving aside anyone who dared get in her way. Finally she found a dark alleyway amidst the surrounding shops. She laid her forehead on the cold dark bricks. How could he do this to me? she thought, I thought he loved me. Now Luke went off with that bitch Darcy! Sobs racked her body as these thoughts ran through her mind.

A few minutes later as she started to calm down, she felt two hands roughly grab her shoulders. A silencing charm was used and as she struggled she felt herself being dragged deeper into the alley. She struggled as much as possible but in her current state of mind she had no energy to fight back. Her captors arm flew in front of her face showing a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth. The Dark Mark. This only caused her to panic more as she realized, I'm going to be raped and murdered right here. The thought flashed bright red before her eyes and she new it with such certainty that she gave up. She stopped fighting.

Her shirt was torn open and she collapsed before realizing minutes later that the assault had stopped. Two sets of arms carefully lifted her to her feet and laid a cloak over her shoulders. Only then did she look up. She saw one man bound and silenced, and the faces of her friend Remus Lupin and one of her sworn enemies, Sirius Black, looking at her with concern. She rushed into an embrace, still in shock. Remus placed his arm around her waist and Sirius placed an arm over her shoulders as they led her home.

Two weeks later back at Hogwarts after their Easter Break Lily sat quietly underneath a tree beside the lake. Lately she only wanted to be by herself. The only people she talked to were Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and that was when they were alone. She refused point blank to talk to them if the other two Marauders were there. James was forever asking her out and being an annoying prat, and the other one, Peter, just gave her the creeps.

She wouldn't tell anyone what had happened. She had convinced herself that she should be dead. She didn't know why she wasn't. Slowly she stood up and made her way to the lake. She stared straight ahead as she walked in, deeper and deeper. The water was up to her knees, up to her waist. Once again, as they had so many other times in the past two weeks, two pairs of hands brought her back. They led her back to land and dried her off, but she didn't feel warmth. She hadn't felt warmth since that day in Diagon Alley.

"Lily," Sirius's voice broke through to her, "you need to stop doing this."

"Why are you doing this to yourself?" Remus asked concerned.

"I should be dead," she said calmly. "I was meant to die that day."

Sirius and Remus exchanged a shocked glance. This was the first time that she had answered them, and she felt that she ought to be dead? "No Lily. You are meant to be here, with us. Come on, let's go for a walk." Remus said carefully, exchanging a glance with Sirius. They helped her up and led her up to the school.

As they reached the front doors the doors flew open. Lily flinched at the sudden movement. James Potter ran through the doors to see his friends with their arms around Lily. His Lily. He immediately stopped.

"What the fuck is going on?" he said quietly, looking to his two friends for an explanation. They knew that they couldn't say what they had just stopped Lily from doing so instead they tried maneuvering around the subject.

"Prongs. What's up? Remus and I were just talking about how Gryffindor's team is gonna be awesome next year with you as captain." Upon hearing this James glanced at Lily and ruffled his hair a little. Sirius and Remus winced, they saw where this was going.

"So Evans, will you go out with me yet?" For the first time since that day in the alley the saw Lily pull herself together. Her eyes immediately flashed with anger and they saw the old Lily Evans.

"You fucking bastard, you unfeeling son of a bitch, you are the biggest asshole that I have ever met. If you don't get your fucking nose out of my fucking business, I swear to God that I will beat the shit out of you." All three of the Marauders couldn't believe their ears. Lily Evans, "Miss Perfect," had just shouted curse words into James's face out of no where. As she stomped past him into the castle she slapped him with all of her strength.

James was speechless as Sirius walked over and clapped him on the shoulder. "Thanks for cheering up Evans Prongsy. Talk to you later." Sirius went to go eat dinner in the Great Hall.
