Chapter 2! Yeah! I don't own Harry Potter or really anything you recognize or don't recognize. I think all the abuse is over after this chapter for a while except for maybe in a nightmare or two of lily's or maybe Sirius or Lupin's.
"She looked really bad. It was her father doing that?" asked James in monotone. It was the next morning the guys were sitting in the kitchen talking about last night. Remus nodded.
"That's worse than what my parents did and I was the little traitor." said Sirius cringing at the memory.
"Why did they do that to her? I mean she's perfect. What could be wrong." asked James.
"Did you ever think that I may not be as perfect as you think." said Lily limping in the kitchen.
"Lily your up. Are you ok? Do you need anything? Why don't you sit down?" asked James getting up to help her to a chair.
"Thanks Po…James." said Lily.
"What do you mean not so perfect?" asked Sirius, now looking through the kitchen cupboards for food.
"My parents, well, dad more particular strived to be perfect. I was a flaw in his grand plan. A witch just what he needs. No he thinks I should be put to work. That magic should be punished and forgotten." said Lily shortly explaining her life.
"What? So he hurt you because you're a witch?" asked James. Lily nodded. "That's so stupid." James argued.
"Yeah well" said Lily now watching Sirius humorously who was trying to cook waffles.
"Why don't we eat and go swimming" asked Remus know Lily would want to get off the subject.
"Yeah, lily there is this big pond thing on the edge of the yard that we go swimming in all the time. You want to come?" said Sirius now finished with the cooking and was stacking waffles on 5 plates. James and Sirius started wolfing down their breakfast while Lily and Remus slowly testing the food made by Sirius almost not trusting it to be edible.
After breakfast Lily was looked over for anymore injuries by James's mum then changed and went with the boys. The pond James was talking about was more of a small lake. It was beautiful. There were tree on every side casting a comfortable shade on the shore. The Potter's had put in a dock that stretched in to the blue waters. James, Sirius and Remus jumped in to the water from the dock. Lily however sat on the dock with her feet in the water.
"Come on Lily. Jump in" Remus shouted from the water.
"Are we going to have to throw you in." said James mockingly.
"You wouldn't do that." said lily
"Oh really?" asked James swimming towards the dock.
"James you better not." said lily looking at James.
"He might not but I will." said Sirius grabbing her around the waist and bring her in the water with him.
"Sirius" shrieked lily.
"Ah, come on lily you know you like it." said Sirius. Lily splashed Sirius in the face he splashed her back. It ended up turning in to a splashing war. James dunked Sirius's head under the water. He came back up sputtering water. A little while later they were all sitting on the dock.
"I can't wait for Quiditch to start again."
"No kidding, we are going to beat the Slytherins so bad this year. Minnie (Professor McGonagall) will love us." said Sirius accidentally on purpose hitting lily in the face. Lily fighting back pushed him back in the water splashing water over everyone. They all started laughing.
Mrs. Potter called them back inside for lunch. After lunch they went back outside to play Quiditch. Lily and Remus who didn't have brooms borrowed 2 of James's. They split up into two teams, James and Remus against Lily and Sirius. They played with only a quaffle and snitch which were charmed to stay in the yard. James and Lily played the position of keeper and chaser while Sirius and Remus fought over the snitch.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your game but I must take Lily to the ministry. Don't worry just to have her sign a few things and testify against her dad." said James' dad see the looks on their faces "She'll be back at dinner. You don't have to worry." Lily landed her broom. "Grab my arm and we'll just apperated there.
Lily had never been to the ministry. It was huge. A golden statue of a witch, wizard, goblin and elf standing together in the middle of the entrance. There was a poster of the Mr. Potter on wall for everyone to see.
"Good afternoon Minister. Is this you young charge." laughed a man sitting by a ticket booth dressed almost like a security guard sticking out his hand to shake hers.
"This is lily. Lily this is Bob." Lily shook his hand.
"Can I check your wand?" he asked. She stuck her hand in the sweatshirt pocket and drew her wand. He placed it on a tray. "Lily Evans? 10 ¾ holly with unicorn hair?" Lily nodded her head as he gave her back her wand. "Very well court room A. Carl is the minister if you have him on your side you win every case." he tipped his hat to her and they went off. Mr. Potter was greeted by several other members of the Ministry. Lily and Mr. Potter entered the court room. Lily's father was been guarded by 2 ministry officials. They took their seats and Mr. Potter started the case.
"We are here to examine the case of Lily Evans. A few days ago I was informed that Lily's father was abusing her. I took her out of the house and she has been living at mine and has made a good recovery. If no one has any objections then she will be taken out the custody of her father and live elsewhere until the Hogwarts school year. Is there any objections?" No one raised there hands. "Very good in that case Mr. Evans you will need to sign this, you'll be put in muggle jail for 100 days and you temporally loose custody of your other daughter. Everyone else can go. Good day." Lily's father grabbed the paper and muttered
"Good then the little brat will be off my hands…" He stood up and the officials led him out of the room.
"We need to go up to my office for a moment and then we'll go home." said Mr. Potter. They boarded the nearest elevator and went to his office. His office turned out to be a almost mini replica of Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts. "please sit down where ever. Would you like a biscuit?" Lily shook her head no as she looked around the room. "let me just sign these few things and there all done. Come on I'm sure the boys are wondering where you have gotten to." they stepped in to the fire place and with a puff of green smoke they were gone.
"Ugh, finally we thought we'd starve before you get back. MUM there back." said James.
"yeah lily, but it wouldn't be worse than what your father did right?" said Sirius lightly.
"Yeah I guess" said lily now a little put down.
"I mean you father was a mega jerk for doing that to you."
"Yeah Sirius can we not talk about this."
" I can only imagine. I mean my parents were all dark and stuff but it never went this far…"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Potter I'm really not hungry right now. I'm going to go to bed." mumbled lily getting up.
"It's alright dear. I'll bring you something else later." said James' mum shooting an angry look at Sirius. They heard lily's door close.
"Sirius why did you have to go and do that?"
"what? All I did is was talk about her family." said Sirius innocently.
"Did you ever think that she didn't want to talk about that right now?"
"Boys knock it off. Sirius go apologize. You should know better than anyone." said James's mum.
It has been a while since I updated but there is chapter 2. Sorry if I didn't get all the facts straight. If you want to be more involved in the story you can be my beta or offer my suggestions or help me co-write it. Break is starts next week so I'll try to update. Thank to Reader101 and StudentofDust.
