Chapter 16 The After Shock
********~~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~*********
It had been 2 days since they had heard. Lily and Lana were in Lana's room getting dressed for the funeral. Lily tied the back of her black dress together, clasped the hooks on her black shoes. She looked up and observed herself. She wanted to look good, she wanted to look good for Trinity.
Lana sat on her bed, staring at Lily. She brushed her hair out, it matched the color of her skirt and blouse. It had taken over a day for them to realize what really happened, and to stop crying. Her face was expressionless. She traced thoughts in her mind- it was like a slide show. First meeting Trinity- their first promise- their first fight- their first make-up-their first party- first detention. She realized someone was calling her name.
"Lana." Lily said softly. Lana looked up at her.
"Huh?" Her voice cracked. Lily looked at Lana's eyes and her own eyes became watery.
"I know Lana- its going to be so hard!" Lily fell to the floor sobbing hard. Lana wrapped her arms around Lily, crying hard too. Just then an owl flew in with a black leather book, and a letter attached. The book fell on the bed and the owl was gone. Lily got up and looked at the letter.
Lillian Evans and Lana Scruptings,
You two were dear friends of Trinity Ciara Killeen. I'm sorry to say I won't tell you whom I am, but I will tell you I knew Trinity well. She talked of nothing but you two, and the famous Marauders. Please, I ask you, read this book after the funeral. Good luck in your grief, we'll all miss her. May your life be long, and blessed.
With Love,
A Dear Friend
Lily's eyes went to the book as she handed the letter to Lana. She was about to open the book when someone knocked on the door.
"Lily? Lana?" it was the voice of Mary Anne Scruptings.
"Yes Mama?" Lana asked, her voice cracked again.
"We need to leave dears." The lady opened the door, she saw the two girls and tears leaked out her eyes.
"I know this hard for you dears, but you must be strong, be strong for Trinity." Mary Anne said. She gave the girls a hug and pulled them out, book still on the bed.
**********~~~~~~~~~~***********~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~********
Dumbledore was going to do the funeral. He was standing in front of an altar of some sort. There was a table at the front with a picture of Trinity, her mother, her father, and her brother.
"Friends and family," he started once everyone took a seat. James, Lily, Sirius, Lana, and lastly Remus were on the front row. They all looked at the ground, afraid to look at the picture.
"We are gathered here under unfortunate circumstances." He continued. The service was nice, it came to the part of the service where Lily would be reading something she wrote for her friend.
"Now would Miss Lily Evans come up here," Dumbledore asked. Lily walked to the front, but not after squeezing James' hand. She was shaking; she set her notes on the podium.
"Hi.." she said softly. " Trinity was one of my best friends. I met her on our first day at Hogwarts. ( a/n: this is a wizard funeral!Sry!) She was so. sweet, and caring, she was just Trinity." Lily paused, trying to pull herself together. " Trinity's eyes could make anyone smile, her voice could make you laugh, she was a great friend, she cared for everyone. We will all miss her, and I've written a small poem to say goodbye." She took a breath.
" Eyes that capture your sight, voice that captures your ears. Eager to find out more, a girl without any fears. Always showing a smile, never mad or never rude. Always so kind hearted, never in a bad mood. Trinity you're the key to our smiles, we'll miss you so so much. We'll always love as long as we live, always longing for one more touch." She looked at Remus and saw tears falls. She too began to cry. "It's hard to say goodbye, so I'll say it pretty fast. Trinity we love you, our love will always last. With love, me, Lana, James, Sirius, Peter, and most importantly, Remus." Lily went to sit down. Everyone was touched. "Good job Lils." James whispered, kissing away a tear that fell. She gave him a small smile. Within 10 minutes, the service was over and people were piling out. A girl walked up to the friends. She had long brown hair, fair skin, dark blue eyes, she was pretty stunning.
"Hi.." she said awkwardly. The group gave a small smile. She continued, " I'm Trinity's cousin. I'm Arabella Figg." She said pausing. "Anyway, I came up to you to thank you for everything you did for Trinity, she really loved you guys."
"Thank you." Sirius said nodding.
"And also- I'm going to be a transfer student from America this term. I'm coming to Hogwarts, I'll be a 7th year also. I just didn't want to go to school not knowing anyone." She gave a small smile.
"We'll be sure to show you around." James said smiling a little.
"We must go, please forgive us." Lana said still sobbing and walking away. The group followed each giving a small wave to Arabella.
*********!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************!!!!!!!!!* *******
James and Sirius left with Remus once they knew the girls would be alright. Lily grabbed the black book off of Lana's room and headed to her own once Lana fell asleep. She crept into her bedroom, changed into her pajamas and sat on her bed. The front of the bed had' Trinity Ciara' carved in gold lettering. Lily's eyes watered, it was her journal, her secret one. She opened the page and began reading.
Dearest Journal,
Hello! I'm Trinity! I'm 12 years old and I just got this journal for my birthday from the two bestest friends in the world. I'm a witch, yea a witch, and I go to a magical school called Hogwarts. I like to joke around, sing, check out cute boys, and read. Now I must tell you about my friends. Lillian Rose Evans-aka Lily- red hair, stunning green eyes, about 5'2" and drop dead gorgeous! Lily is like one of my bet friends! She is soo sweet and caring, not to mention at the top of our class and she is a first class beauty. She stands up for what she believes in and I love her to death. Lana Jade- black hair, purple eyes, yes purple. Lana's also a beauty! Purple eyes you ask? She's a seer! That's why! She is soo awesome and I love her to death.
Lily stopped to wipe the tears away from her eyes. She couldn't read anymore. She put the book down and rolled over in her bed. ' This is going to be heck.' She thought to herself.
***********!!!!!!!!!!!!!**************!!!!!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!!!!!1****** ***
Christmas sucked when put plainly. The girls smiled and thanked everyone for their gifts, but a piece of their heart was missing. Lily owled James saying she was afraid to get out of bed and that she would be staying at Lana's. She apologized and asked him to come see her. And he did. Every day. He loved her, he couldn't stand to see her falling apart.
The friends went back to school, but not by choice. They talked and smiled some, occasionally cracking small jokes. Once on the train after about an hour the door opened to show Arabella.
"Hi." She said smiling a little. "Can I sit with you guys?" She was answered by nods from the group.
Lily looked into Lana's eyes to see them flaming like Lily's. 'I hope she doesn't think she is going to take my Sun-hun's place!' Lily told Lana telepathically. Lana's eyes softened. ' She doesn't, she just wants some friends.' She told her back. Lily just nodded and layed her head on James' shoulder.
"Oh so you two are a couple?" Arabella asked Lily.
"Yes." Lily said softly.
"And you two?" She asked turning to Lana and Sirius. Lana just nodded.
"So Arabella, what house do you hope to be sorted in?" Sirius asked trying to make small talk.
"Oh please call me Bella, and none other than Gryffindor! But I don't guess Ravenclaw would be so bad." She said a little too softly. That hit a sore spot for Lily. She suddenly saw a 11 year old Trinity standing in the line to be sorted:
"So what house do you want to be in?" an 11 year old Lily asked.
"Oh, Gryffindor! But I don't guess Ravenclaw would be so bad." Trinity answered her.
Obviously Lana had had the same vision because she had the same look.
"ATTENTION STUDENTS- HOGWARTS ARRIVAL IN 5 MINUTES!" a voice bellowed into the train. The group groaned.
"Home sweet home." James said looking outside the window.
"But not the same." Lily said softly. Lily looked at Lana to see her looking confused. Her eyes went big then shut. She fell to the ground and started twitching.
Lana wanted to scream at what she saw but couldn't. A man, maybe 19, who greatly resembled Sirius walked across a room. He separated a red headed girl and a boy with black hair who were snogging.
"Hold it Prongs- we don't want any XXX stuff live please." The man said laughing.
"Shut it Padfoot, you know me and Lils will be married soon." Prongs kissed the red head. Just then a girl who looked identical to the Arabella girl walked into the room, in arms of Remus Lupin.
" Hi guys!" she said sitting down, holding Remus' hand. "Where's Lana?" she asked smiling. Padfoot's eyes went big.
"I was supposed to meet her! Man dogg!" he yelled.
"Yea Sirius, we know that's what you are." Remus laughed. Just then Sirius ran out and the group began to laugh. **
Lana was brought back. She sat up. ' I thought I lost my seer powers without Lily! And what the crap? A Man dogg? I'm so confused!' Lana thought to herself as she lay on the ground.
Lily ran to her. " Lana!" she cried. " What happened!?" She yelled. Lana tried to explain what happened, but just cried.
"This.this." Lily searched for the words.
"Is the after shock." Dumbledore finished for her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
