A/N: I know, some of you cannot forgive me for letting Snape be the hero of the moment. I'm sorry, but if you've read my bio, I like to do things that have never been done before, and as everybody knew James would have to save her, the exact opposite happened. That's just a little logic in the way my evil mind works. It could be that I'm so mad I just happened to want Snape to get Lily, but maybe that's just me. (By the way, people, The Secret Garden really is a play. It has never been on a tape or anything. It's been on Broadway in New York, and West End here. (England) Well, that's about all you need to know. See ya!)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!!!
Graduation was almost upon them. As was the play. Snape was still Lily's personal retriever. James was still trying to figure out why he hadn't jumped after her, and Sirius liked to bait all of them constantly and flirt with James's girlfriend, Elisabeth. James, however, had taken to kissing Elisabeth in the hallways and common room to see if Lily noticed. She didn't.
"He has the cutest black hair, and those blue eyes..."
"Just...just...SHUT UP ALREADY!" Lily had been having trouble containing herself, and Elisabeth was just making it harder. Much harder. She didn't know what to do. As soon as she came to in the hospital wing, the first person she thought of was James. The first person she saw, was Severus, and had a tough time suppressing a shudder. Well, she'd just have to keep that quiet. She stormed out of the dorm, steaming mad, at Elisabeth, she needed time to think. Which is why Elisabeth's death hit her like it did.
"WHAT? NO WAY! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD! 15 MINUETES AGO SHE WAS GOING ON ABOUT JAMES! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!!"
"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do for her," Madam Pomfrey tried to pull a hysterical Lily away from her best friend.
"Voldemort's gaining power, we knew he was, and, well, going into the forbidden forest alone was not exactly the wisest of choices," Said Dumbledore, shaking his head.
Lily rounded on him. "You're the greatest wizard in the world, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE HER??"
"There was nothing I could do. I shall have to owl her parents, in the mean time, Mr. Potter, will you escort her to her dorm?"
James appeared out of thin air, looking around slightly sheepishly.
"I'm sorry," he said gravely, "but Professor McGonagall would only let one of us go and..."
"I quite understand. Please take Ms. O'Connell back to the common room. Thank you."
Lily Sobbed on her way to the common room. Then she refused to go in.
"James, you don't understand! I can't go in there; I can't look at her empty bed next to mine and think...you don't understand! This isn't happening! It's a dream! It's not real! It's not, it can't be! I can't go in there..."
"Shh...It's alright, everything will be ok, and Lily?"
"Yes?" She asked before breaking into fresh sobs.
"You once told me to dress the part for a show, Could I use a theater quip on you?" He asked wondering if this was a good time.
"Whatever."
"The show must go on."
~**~
"One two three, one two three, annnnnnd SPIN!"
On went the chorography and on went the show. Heartless as it may have seemed to leave no respect for the dead, in a way, it was more helpful to have something to keep your mind off of the awful hole in you, thought Lily, as James managed to pick her up and put her gracefully back down. He had been practicing, she noted.
~**~
On went the show and on went the prank. James dove head in, leaving almost no time for homework. Sirius was taking Elisabeth's death the hardest, and James, though sad, was not exactly as hysterical as when Lily tried to kill herself. So they all dove into the prank, trying to forget that one of their number was dead, and that there were many more dead to come...trying not to face the inevitable...
A/N: There. Another extremely short one done. I'm really sorry. Really sorry. I'll write a big long one next time, because next time is the...(drum roll please!) prank and the play combined! So stay tuned sports fans!
