-A Vow From Now On-
Lily woke up from her long sleep. She sensed a presence to her left and slowly sat
up to find a long silvery beard and dark blue robes leading to the face of Albus
Dumbledore.
"I see you have woken up after a few days of rest." His calm voice was comforting.
"Madam Pomphrey insisted that I give you this piece of chocolate when you woke up.
And please do eat it, or she'll have my head."
"Thank you, sir." Lily was unsure of what to say.
"I am sure you have had time to think of what you did previous, and thought better? It
seems that the best of us want to run away from our problems when it seems like there is
no way out, and no reason to stay alive. But sometimes our goals in life are enough to
keep us holding on. We cannot get to those goals if we don't try, and even if it doesn't
happen right away, it happens down the path in our life's journey. If you would share,
can you think of any goals worth living for?"
"I have a few... I guess they are goals most people have. To have a successful career, to
be happy, and to be loved and have love... I want to get married and start my own
family." Lily's response was gloom.
"Ah, but you shouldn't be rushing your goals. Start by being open-minded and free-
spirited. Live your life a happy life. Your friends will help you get there; they can be your
guidelines as you try to get over your losses. It is just a suggestion after all, but it seems to me like you just need to have some fun to recover, regardless of how long it may take."
Dumbledore took a long breath. "I'll leave you to your thoughts now... Oh and I almost
forgot, these flowers are from your friends, might I add that they miss you very much."
He pointed over to the massive stack of flowers to the right of her bed.
As Dumbledore left the room, several things passed through Lily's head. She
didn't need James; all she needed was her friends all along... And her parents deaths
were not worth killing herself, everyone's parents die eventually, it was just a shame it
was so soon and by Voldemort. It was time to lift her spirits and start living again. Why
should she care what others think of her? If she didn't have that makeover she would still
have the friends she has, and if they didn't accept her they weren't real friends to begin
with. But her friends are so amazing; perhaps she should put people by the test. She
should be herself and not some blonde Barbie. She didn't need people who saw her looks
first. No need for her to do more than a shower, brush her teeth, wash her face, and brush
her hair every day. This time she would be herself, and it would be better from now on.
She vowed to herself, no more James, and no more boys like him.
Lily fell back asleep and by the time she woke up it was later in the night. Madam
Pomphrey was nowhere to be seen so she crept out of bed and put on her robes and
walked to the Gryffindor common room. "Sipherelle" Lily whispered as the portrait
swung open. "Are you alright my dear?" The fat lady asked. "Good as new." Lily replied.
She walked inside the room. It was dead silent and pitch black. Then out of No where was a sneeze, then a "SIRIUS!" and an "OUCH!" Lily didn't know what was
going on. "SURPRISE!" was shouted out to her and Lily jumped up and was startled.
The first thing she saw was a banner hanging from the ceiling charmed to say in flashing
lights "Get Better Lily." Suddenly Lily found herself in a huge hug from Anita to a point
where she couldn't breathe. "Erm... Anita... -gasp- Let... go... of... me... I... can't...
breathe. –gasp-
Anita let go of Lily and Allissa came over with some punch.
"We made sure that the boys didn't spike this."

Disclaimer: By the end of this chapter I still do not own Harry Potter.
A/N: It was mostly an informative chapter. For the people that read a lot of Lily and James fan fiction, you probably can see where this is going. But don't think it's predictable you will see. So now Lily can be happy. Until later—Jenna
Please, please review so I actually want to update this story.
