"How can you see into my eyes, like open doors."
"Leading you down into my core, where I've become soo numb."
"Without a soul."
"My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold."
"Until you find it and lead it back home." sang Lily jumping up and down naked in the shower (she could have been thinking about James while singing … nah!). She was using the soap bar as a microphone. When her eyes were closed she could be a million miles away. Even in front of a crowd of fans on her way to stardom. She shook her head, letting her dripping hair slap her face. Lily gazed out the window at the valley yonder. Bright flowers of blue and crimson could be seen from afar. Lily's emerald eyes sparkled with glee. She only teared her eyes away from the glorious sight when Petunia banged her fists against the door. "LILY!"
Lily hopped out of the shower. Hastily she wrapped a towel around her hair and her body. "I'm coming, I'm coming."
"Finally." muttered Petunia. Lily smirked as she left the bathroom. "All your, sis."
Lily sprinted into her room. Five minutes later "Lily you used all the hot water!" yelped Petunia. Lily sniggered silently. She sat on her bed for a long time deciding what to wear. And when Petunia came into the room in a towel, Lily was trying on a purple skirt and white top. She decided against it and tried on an emerald gown. She didn't like it either.
Eventually Petunia got peeved. "Does it really matter what you wear? I mean you look ugly in everything." Lily threw Petunia a tired glare. Her heart wasn't feeling right today. It was all twisted up and she couldn't unknot it. Petunia was startled. "Are you in love? Your eyes look … look … sad."
Lily turned away from Petunia, her face wet with tears. Petunia was clearly thinking hard. If she gave Lily advice that would be being nice, and she couldn't live with herself if her sister ever became emotionally traumatized (though it would be nice). Petunia walked over to the closet and pulled out a yellow cotton dress. "Yellow really is your color, but you never wear it."
Lily eyes softened. She put on the dress and grinned. "Thanks Petunia." she said awkwardly. She felt like hugging her sister, but held back.
Petunia nodded a bit. "Okay now get out. I'm changing." Lily smile quickly turned into a scowl. She grabbed her luggage bag and Blaze's cage, before Petunia slammed the door. Lily felt more tears roll down her cheeks. She stifled a cry. She was really going to miss this place. Hogwarts wasn't actually as great as she constantly bragged about.
Suddenly someone grabbed her arm. It was Mr. Evans. "Lily you're going to miss that train, if we don't hurry!" He pulled her along after him, and down the driveway. Maple, Daisy, and Mrs. Evans were already seated in the car, eating sausage sandwiches. Mr. Evans turned and counted everyone. "Petunia!"
Out she came, managing a brush in one hand and her purse in the other. "Dad! Don't rush me!" She huffed angrily, she noticed she didn't have her diary. "Oh! My diary! I need to go get it." She sprinted back inside before she was even given permission. Petunia came back out fifteen minutes later diaryless. "Someone stole it!"
"That's all very nice dear, but we gotta go! Lily's going to miss her train!"
"All you ever care about is Lily! What about me?! What about my diary?!" she cried dramatically.
Mr. Evans gave Petunia an end-of-discussion glare and Petunia boarded the car without complaint. Lily noticed that Daisy was reading something snuggled under her shirt. It was Petunia's diary. Lily grinned. Good thing she didn't have a diary … absolutely no privacy!

Lily ran at full speed into the barrier. When she came out the other side she saw the train pulling out. "Hurry dear!" yelled Mrs. Evans. "And good luck with you-know-who!"
"Mom!" Mrs. Evans smiled sweetly and left the station with the others (having already said their good-byes). Lily felt slightly abandoned as she chased the train hopelessly. Why were her parents soo confident she'd make the train? Why didn't they stay in case she didn't? Frantically, Lily tossed back her hair and jumped for the railings. Great now she was hanging off the side of a speeding train. A perfect ending to a perfect life. Lily closed her eyes ready to face death at its fullest.
JAMES P.O.V.
James's eyes scanned the corridor. Nope no signs of Lily. Where could she be? He turned and walked back into the compartment. "Hey guys we're going to have to go around checking each compartment."
Sirius gaped at James incredulously. "No way! Why do you care so much about where Lily is? You've got a million and one girls ogling you!" James blushed a little, but didn't answer back. Lily was special. More alive, calm, and fun than other girls.
Remus looked up from the book he was reading. "She's probably avoiding you. You do strike a nerve."
James looked at them repulsed. "Do you want to help or not? I mean what if she's been captured by the Slytherins?" Remus looked slightly amused; all the same he put down his book and stood up. Sirius admitted defeat. (I don't know where Wormtail is, so don't ask until I find out.) They split up into teams and went around opening each compartment door. Sirius and James were greeted by quite a bit of girls, and Sirius even got mouth to mouth resuscitation from a seventh year girl named Kitty Hawk.
They even went down to the compartment where Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape were sitting. "Where's Evans, Snivellus?" asked James.
Snivellus looked up irritated. "If I knew where she was then that's where I'd be."
"What'd mean?"
"I mean …" said Snape. "That Lily will NEVER be where you are." James didn't get it. Lucius shunned them out of the room, smirking. What did he mean 'Lily will never be where I am?'
Finally they all went back to the compartment. "Man where is she?" groaned James.
"Dunno know."
"Like I said she could be avoiding you."
James was lost in thought. 'What if she came here late. Then the train was already leaving … she could have …!' James ran out the compartment, down the hall and out back to the railings. And what he saw made him numb all over. An apparently dead Lily, hanging onto the bars for dear life. Her hands were slipping, as hard as she tried to maintain a firm grip. "Evans! Evans!" cried James. Lily opened her eyes surprised and relief washed over James. He lifted her up onto the train. Lily didn't know what to say, she just sat there looking into his eyes. His hazel eyes were dark tunnels she was occasionally getting lost in. They seemed to read her mind, for he did not ask for an explanation. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in for a hug. Lily blushed red hot, she knew James was trying to kiss her.
Slowly in a dreamy way she lifted her hand up to his face as if to pull him closer to her lips. BOOM! She slapped him. "Don't you try that one on me!" exclaimed Lily shrilly.
James seemed slightly hurt, but then his expression changed. "I almost got you! You really thought I was worried, didn't you?! Well … I w-was." He blushed again. "I thought you were dead, with your eyes closed like that." Lily felt a little hurt about slapping him.
She tossed her head up to face him. "Sorry … I did it cause I thought I was gonna die." (Lily said sorry!) James shivered at the thought. Lily noticed that he tightened his grip on her as to make sure she never fell again. This rendered Lily invulnerable to what James did next …
******************************************************************************
Oooh! Nice cliffhanger. I like it. Now all I need to do is think of what James did. Guys have any ideas? I'm stupid I write what I think and then I don't know what else to write. My brain's crammed full of inspiration.
