Disclaimer: don't own noffin Harry Potter related... all I own is my amazing plot... heh... xD
Later,
just before sunset, Lily walked into the kitchen where Remus, Sirius
and James were waiting. She smiled weakly at them as Remus walked
down into the cellar. Sirius smiled at her and followed him down.
James waited for a moment with Lily.
"What's on your mind?"
he asked, hugging her.
"Well, I dunno... I guess I'm just a
little worried about staying up here by myself... I'm just being
silly," she srugged, hugging him back.
"Don't worry
Lils, we're just in the cellar. We're still here," he smiled
down at her.
"Yeah... like I said, I'm just being silly,"
she smiled back and kissed him as he went into the cellar too.
She
raised her wand and pointed it at the door, "See you in the
morning boys!" she cast various spells to stop the door from
being torn apart. She then walked upstairs and sat in her bed. Very
soon after that she took her blanket and pillow downstairs and slept
in the kitchen after charming the floor to be more cushiony.
As
the moon reached the highest point in the sky, and the clock chimed
midnight, Lily awoke with a start. Remus could be heard roaring
below, but it was not that which had caused her to wake. She had a
strange feeling of unease. Shaking her head, she stood up, wrapping
her blanket tightly around her, and walked out to the front door.
Gazing at it a moment, she wondered if she was being silly. What if
there wasn't anything for her to worry about?
As she pondered
these thoughts, she reached for the doorknob, turning it slowly. She
was going to prove to herself that nothing was wrong. Pushing the
door open slightly, she peered out into the blackness lit only by the
full moon. At first, there was nothing around but the trees and
plants. Lily smiled to herself, but it quickly faded. At second
glance, she noticed the dark figure standing just at the end of the
drive, looking straight at her.
She shut the door quickly, the
pace of her heart soaring to an alarming rate. Even though she was
sure it would be pointless if a Death Eater really wanted in, she
locked the door quickly and ran to the kitchen to lock the back one
as well. She sat down on the floor outside the cellar again, leaning
her back against the door. As she listened to the noises below,
something wet fell on her hand. Looking down, she realized she had
started crying. She alo realized that now, more than anything, she
wished James were here to hold her.
The
next morning, Lily awoke to the sound of pounding on the cellar door.
Aparently she had fallen asleep, and stayed that way. Rubbing the
sleep out of her eyes, she gazed up at the clock above the stove.
Eleven thirty it said. She stood up and stretched as the noise
continued behind her.
"Lils!" came Jame's muffled,
frantic voice, "Where are you?! Come on! We want out, I'm hungry
as hell!" he whined.
"James, shut up will you, you're
yelling in my ear," she heard Remus say to him loudly, shuting
him up.
"Oh sod off the both of you!" came Sirius'
voice. Then came the sound of shuffling and another bang on the door
as Sirius called out, "LILEEEEE! LEMME OUT! I GOTTA PISS LIKE A
RACEHORSE!"
Trying not to laugh and slightly confused, Lily
quickly dispelled her charms and the door flew open. Immediately,
Sirius bowled the other boys over and bolted upstairs to seek releif
in the bathroom. James stood up, grumbling about being shoved so
rudely to the ground, and collapsed in a chair. Remus simply stood
and brushed himself off.
"That was a nasty trick Lils,"
James pouted, "Why did you make us stay in there all that time?
You never sleep in so don't make excuses!"
"Actually...
I did sleep in," Lily replied thoughtfully, "I guess I was
drained from the past few days or something."
"I can't
entirely blame her James," Remus pointed out, "She nearly
broke her ankle and it was because of a Death Eater."
"Yeah,
true," James agreed as Lily paled slightly, "Sorry for
snapping at you Lils."
"Ahhh... Sooooooo much better,"
Sirius sighed, walking in and doing up his pants, "Prongs, mate,
tell your dad he needs to build a toilet in the cellar! It would be
quite appreciated!"
