Chapter1: Face Down
Lily, James, Sirius and Remus are sitting in the last compartment while Peter is having fun with his girlfriend Becky Cross.
"I'm bored Prongs...let's do something fun!" Sirius said-sounding like a little girl. Remus groaned.
"Are you sugar high again?" he asked. Sirius nodded.
"So totally yeah!"
James laughed as did Lily while Remus shook his head at Sirius.
"What do you want to do, Pads?" James asked. Sirius had a wicked gleam in his eyes.
"Truth or dare."
"How about it?" Lily asked. They looked at her and she blushed.
Hey girl you know you drive me crazy.
One look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around.
I see what's going down.
Cover up with makeup in the mirror.
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again.
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you
"Sure...Sirius, truth or dare?" Remus asked. Sirius grinned.
"Dare." Remus' eyes gleamed.
"I want you to kiss Snape on the lips."
Sirius' eyes widened. "That's evil!"
"I learned from the best." Sirius grumbled and left. Thirty minutes later he returned and sucked on his lollipop that was stashed away. James smirked.
Sirius noticed this and said, "James, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Kiss Lily-kins on the lips for ten minutes." he did and pulled back smiling at her now shocked expression.
"Lily, truth or dare?" James asked. She looked and whispered, "Truth."
"Why are you with him?" she looked him in the eye and didn't say anything. Instead she stood up and left.
He followed her out and saw her boyfriend Jake Matthews push her into the side of a compartment, tears down her face.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
One day this world's going to end.
As your lies crumble down,
A new life she has found.
He walked towards her and picked her up, kissing her nose. She whimpered and he went into the compartment she was pushed into and laid her down.
"Rest, Lily, rest." he whispered. "I'm still here."
"The reason I'm with him...I can't leave. He keeps saying 'I love you' and he controls me. Brett paid him two hundred and fifty pounds." She whispered before closing her eys.
He held her in his arms as he laid down next to her. "I'm gonna stay with you. I'll find a way to get you out of this."
She sat up and kissed his cheek, smiling. "You are great."
"No lovely, you are." he whispered.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple affect.
Every action in this world will bear a consequence.
If you wait around forever you will surely drown.
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say you're right again.
Say you're right again!
Heed my lecture!
It was five days later (coincidentally it was a Saturday) that James saw Jake grab Lily by the scruff of her neck and throw her down onto the red couch. James was furious. He waited for Lily to say something and he smiled as he heard her say, "We are not together! I cancel anything Brett told you! He's not my father!" and she slowly got up and left. Sirius and Remus heard what she said and clapped loudly as did James.
"Matthews, I want you to leave her alone," James' voice was cold as ice. "I swear that this world is changing and we are in war so if you leave her alone I won't hurt you. If you don't leave her alone, I'll kill you."
The Common room froze as they heard James Potter speak to Jake Matthews. Jake was boiling mad and very pissed off at him.
"Listen Potter, you can't control me-" he started to say when James snarled, "You are not on the Quidditch team anymore! I just terminated any say in that." and he walked off with Sirius telling Jake, "You got him pissed off so that means you're in trouble." and walking with Remus to find his friend.
He should have listen to what James told him.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end.
As your lies crumble down,
A new life she has found!
Since her split with Jake she was spending more time with James, even going to the practice and smiling at him. Jake watched her closely as he growled at the smile on her face. He was pissed.
He was wondering what Potter had that he didn't when he saw Potter fly towards Lily, helped her on to his broom and took her up in the air, kissing her neck. She squealed in delight.
"Is this good?" James asked her. She nodded, her eyes were bright and shining.
"It's perfect." she breathed. He laughed.
"You are perfect, lovely." and he did flips and turns on the broom, with her holding on to him for dear life.
Face down in the dirt!
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I've finally had enough!"
Face down in the dirt!
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I've finally had enough!"
One day she will tell you that she has enough!
Its coming round again!
Over and over Lily told Jake that she 'finally had enough!' and left him. Over and over he begged her to reconsider but she was already with someone else: James Potter.
Jake glared at the two of them, she was all smiles while he kissed her forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, any part of her face that he loved.
"You had your chance, Matthews." Remus growled in his ear. "She's found a new life and a better man than you."
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end.
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found!
Jake's girlfriends seem to leave him one by one after all the lies. It was in October now that he was left with Bellatrix Black-Sirius' cousin and a Slytherin in his year, who enjoyed spending time with him.
Unknown to him, she was cheating on him like he cheated on Lily.
Bellatrix was sleeping with Roldophus LeStrange, another Slytherin in her year.
When Jake asked Lily out to the Costume Ball, she refused saying that she was "going with James" and that he was taking her to buy her costume.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end.
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt!
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I've finally had enough!"
Jake was watching her. She was wearing a white dress (A/N: LOOK ON PROFILE) and was dancing gracefully with James Bloody Potter. He watched as he spun her around and led her off the dance floor.
Her deep dark cherry red hair was down her back like a cascading wave. She turned around and glared at him. He smirked and walked towards Peter Pettigrew, with an evil smile on his face.
"How about we talk to the Slytherins and we win this war," he whispered. Peter looked and nodded. "Our Lord will reward you pleasantly." he then slowly lifted up his left forearm and showed him the Dark Mark.
Peter nodded and showed him his Dark Mark. "I was already accepted. Becky knows this since she helped me get involved with it."
Jake smiled and nodded as they went back to the dance, Peter with Becky and him with Becky's gorgeous friend Carla Gates.
He would kill Potter and take back what was rightfully his: Lily.
Dumbledore knew all about his plan. He was helping him with it.
