On the wet grass seven stories from the window James was staring out in Lily lay in a crumpled heap. He hair was wisped around her and her face was contorted fear and pain. Anyone could see she was dead. Sirius and Remus came in the same time, as James was about to jump. They ran and held him back and started screaming at him if he had a problem.
James just looked back his eyes the size of golf balls. Sirius bent his head and looked at him questionably. It took a while for James to recover.
"Down there." He whispered his head jerking towards the window. Cautiously Sirius and Remus walked towards the window and looked down. They gasped and turned towards James.
"Prongs. I'm so so sorry." Sirius shakily pronounced with difficulty. Remus nodded in agreement but he was in such a shock he couldn't say anything.
Skye and Cara ran into the room a few minutes later with worry lines all over there face. When they looked at the boys they opened their mouths to speak but nothing came out. Standing like that for the next few minutes they stared into each other's eyes. Skye was the first to speak.
"So have you guys seen Lily?" she slowly asked dreading the worst. "I mean she's not in your dormitories, Common room, Hagrid's House, Forbidden Forest, Library, Hall, not to mention she has no detention today and she's not with Professor Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall. And she doesn't seem here?"
No words came out of the boys but they kept on jerking their heads towards the window. Skye and Cara looked towards each other and shrugged. Running towards the window they glanced down and burst into tears.
Holding each other for support Skye and Cara fell to the ground and cried. Their tears poured onto the surface of the floor. Remus was the first to make a noise. He cleared his throat. Skye and Cara stopped crying and looked at him with despair. James and Sirius looked at him in envy. He was the quickest of them to stop crying. But little did they know what was happening inside of him. Remus cleared his throat again and made a proposal.
"Lets go and tell Professor Dumbledore about this." He suggested.
Sirius went from green to white and then to red.
"Go to Professor Dumbledore. Have you lost your mind? What has been the backbone of our group? Eh, forgot. We supposed to be working out everything for ourselves." He bellowed. Remus was rather taken aback. He knew that they never told anything to the Professors. But this was their friend they were talking about. Cara was the first to react.
Remus is right you know." She whispered. Everyone looked at her incredulously. Cara the wild girl of their group was whispering and agreeing with Remus to tell a teacher. Cara continued.
"Look, sooner or later they will find out. And if we need to find out how she died we need all the help." Here James cut in.
"We know how she died. She probably jumped." He said looking sober. Cara glanced at him and continued.
"You never know. She broke up with people before and she never jumped. Somebody might have pushed her. Anyway, apart from that she needs a proper funeral. We don't want her to rot there do we?" Everyone nodded. "And another thing. When we go to tell Professor Dumbledore we have to tell him the truth. From your break up and what caused it." She said while looking at James. " And everything else. He needs to know the truth. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well we better go." Skye muttered getting up. Everyone followed in suit and walked slowly to Dumbledore's office.
They bumped into Snape on the way to the office.
"Sooo Potteeeeer. Were is mudblood?" Snape snickered cruelly. None of the group wanted to fight but since he offended Lily James and Cara got out of the group. James glanced into one of his eyes and punched it while Cara kicked him in the shins. Snape knew something was definitely wrong when they apologized and left. Even Sirius didn't blow up in front of his face. So he decided to follow them. As they walked into Dumbledore's office Snape leaned against the wall listening to every word. What he heard shocked him. Lily dumped Lily dead, Lily. The thought of her created butterflies in his stomach. Pressing against the wall he thought of Lily and how she was the last thing he had left in this cruel world. And now she was gone too. Snape thumped against the cold floor and stared at the tiles. Every groove and every line seemed to always add up to Lily's face. He sighed, oblivious to everyone around him.
