Chapter 4 – Hogsmeade
As dawn rose on the Saturday morning in Hogwarts, there was an utter scene of panic in the rooms of the Head boy and Head girl.
"What about this one?" Lily asked her friends Yazzii and Gina, twirling around in her jeans and yellow hoodie.
"Nah, to bright" Yazzii said, yawning as she painted her nails.
"It clashes with your eyes" Said Gina "Here, try this" she said, holding up a green jumper. Lily sighed, and pulled off her yellow hoodie and replaced it with the green jumper.
"Bingo!" Yazzii said, jumping off Lily's bed and began messing with Lily's hair. After half an hour, Lily was ready. She was wearing a green jumper with dark blue jeans and her black converse. Her hair was straight, and in a single ponytail.
"Okay, let's go!" Gina said, jumping of the bed, but tripped over her boot and fell on her ass.
After their laughter had subsided and Yazzii had stopped chocking on her pumpkin juice, they met the boys in the small common room.
…..
James could not believe his eyes. She looked bloody gorgeous!
…..
Fuck me, Sirius thought after looking at Yazzii, hospital wing, here I come…slowly that is.
…..
Remus blinked and looked at Gina again, she was beautiful.
…..
"Err, guys?" Lily Asked "do you want to get going?"
At the sound of Lily's voice, James jumped out of his daydream (…cough) and hit Sirius and Remus, who were both practically drooling over the floor.
"Yeah" James said, "after you"
…...
20 minutes later, all 6 of them were sitting around a table in the three broomsticks, drinking butterbeer. Lily, Yazzii and Gina were trying to ignore the stares of envy from all the other girls in the pub, as they were sitting next to the Marauders.
"So" Lily said, making conversation "where's Wormtail?"
"No idea Bandage" Sirius replied "just didn't want to come"
"Oh" Lily said, looking down at her butterbeer.
"Hey Lily" James said, putting his finger under her chin and lifting her head up "Want to go for a walk?"
"Sure" Lily said, standing up, "see you later guys"
"Be careful" Gina said, smiling.
….
"Thank god for that!" Lily shouted "I don't think I could have handled another moment of those death stares"
James laughed, "It's just because of me and my good looks" He smirked, and ducked from a snowball that Lily threw at him.
"Weak bandage, very weak" He grinned.
"Well just because I'm not a quidditch champion chaser" Lily teased.
"Oh you went there Evans"
"Went where Prongs?"
"Here!" James shouted, and tackled her to the snowy ground.
"James!" Lily screamed, as he started tickling her "You're not playing fair!"
"No one plays fair in war Mudblood" said a voice from behind them. James and Lily shot up from the snow, and held there wands up in defence against Bellatrix, Snape, Malfoy and other Syltherins that they didn't know by name.
"Severus" Lily started "What are you doing?"
"Bidding the dark lord Mudblood, and killing off your kind"
"Her kind!" Bellowed James "How dare you, you greasy haired git! She's worth 10 of you, hell, 10 of all of you!"
"Shut it blood traitor!" Yelled Bellatrix, and sent James a body bind curse. James fell to the floor, only being able to look on with his eyes.
"That's right Potter" spit Malfoy, "watch as your Mudblood dies"
"Do it Severus!"
"Severus, please" Lily begged.
"Septumsempra!"
James watched in agony as Snape's curse hit Lily full on, cutting her chest open. Lily screamed as she stumbled backwards and fell off the cliff side by the shrieking shrak.
Bellatrix laughed and walked away. James swore he saw Snape wipe a single tear away from his eye, before walking away with the other soon to be death eaters.
James still couldn't move. He couldn't see either, as floods of tears cascaded down from his eyes.
….
"What is taking Prongs and Bandage so long?" Sirius moaned, rubbing his hands together and breathing out dragon's breath "its bloody freezing out here and they where meant to meet us half an hour ago!"
Before anyone could respond, Sirius, Yazzii, Gina and Remus turned their heads towards the laughing that was coming up from behind them.
"Another Mudblood dead, another Mudblood dead" Bellatrix, Sirius's demented cousin sang.
"You don't think?" Yazzii began.
"Oh my god!" Gina screamed, clutching Remus "Its Lily!"
"Where were they heading to on their walk?" Remus asked, trying to keep him and Gina calm.
"I think he said something about showing her the view from the cliff of the shrieking Shrak" Sirius said, before realization hit him "the cliff!"
Yazzii got out her wand and conjured her Patronus, an eagle. She then spoke to it. "Go to Hogwarts and find Professor Dumbledore and give him this message: Lily and James have been attacked on the cliff by the shrieking shrak, hurry" the eagle nodded and took of into the sky.
"Come on!" shouted Sirius "Lets get down there!"
….
The sight that hit them was enough to make Sirius choke back tears. James was sprawled on the floor, not moving, and Lily was no where to be seen.
"James!" Sirius and Remus called out, kneeling beside him. James blinked away tears and looked at them.
"Shit!" Remus cried "it's a body bind curse"
Sirius muttered the counter curse and James sat up, still crying.
"She fell, I couldn't save her, I promised…I" James muttered.
"Prongs" Sirius said, grabbing his shoulders "it's not your fault mate, now what happened?"
Before James could answer, he stood up and ran to the cliff edge. He couldn't see anything except the trees and snow around 100 feet down. She had to be alive, he thought…I promised.
He jumped.
"JAMES!" Remus, Yazzii, Gina and Sirius cried.
He hit the floor on his back, cutting his hands on rocky surface. He didn't feel the pain though, he had to find Lily.
"LILY!" he yelled "LILY!"
Around 400 yards from where he landed, he found her. She was lying on her back, unconscious from the blood loss. Her blood was everywhere. He couldn't find where the bleeding had started because their was so much blood. Her entire body was bruised, cut and broken. He knelt by her face, bringing her head up onto his lap. "Lily, wake up. Please don't be dead. I need you. Please. This is my entire fault. I promised that you would be safe…I" His voice broke and fresh tears fell down his cheeks "Lily Evans! Wake up right now and tell me that I'm the biggest prat in the entire world for coming down after you. Wake up and tell me that if I pull another prank again, I'll have to answer to you. Wake up and tell me that I'm the most annoying person you have ever met. Please Lily, wake up!"
Then he broke down, full sobs where coming out of his lips, tears gushing down his face and he clung to Lily's unmoving body.
"Help! Somebody! Please!"
The last thing James felt where strong arms lifting him and Lily off the blood stained ground.
