Hold Onto Me
Dumbledore's Office
Professor McGonagall stopped pulling on Lily and turned to face a stone gargoyle.
Lily had barely any time to think before McGonagall said boldly: "Chocolate Froggies," and the gargoyle sprung aside allowing the wall behind it to slide open.
Lily probably would have thought that that password was silly right now, but her mind was too preoccupied that she didn't even notice that they had reached the top of the spiral staircase.
McGonagall led her to a room and then left, leaving Lily to inspect the room. There were pictures of old Headmasters on the wall, and on the mantle was the sorting hat. There was also a large red and gold bird she recognized as a phoenix from what she had read. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, and he beckoned her to him, and conjured a chair for her to sit in. She walked over and sat down.
"Hello Lily," he said quickly.
"Uh hi…" Lily replied uncertainly.
"Look Lily, I'll just get to the point," he said leaning backwards, and she leaned forward to hear him better, fully alert.
James walked into the common room, only clutching two normal sized curse books, catching Sirius' eye.
"Why only two?" he asked, eyeing the books.
"Uh…something came up. Pince wouldn't let me check out more," he replied cautiously.
"Oh really? Well did you hear about Lily?" Sirius asked, then winced at bringing up a forbidden topic.
"Huh? What about Lily?" James replied, actually sounding interested.
"Well no one knows for sure, but she got called up to see Dumbledore, I just wondered if you knew anymore than everyone else."
"Uh…no. I don't. Can you leave me alone now?" James asked sitting down.
"Ok, ok, touchy," Sirius replied, and got up and moved away from his time bomb of a friend.
"Now Lily, you know about Voldemort, right?"
Lily winced and then replied, "Yes."
"And you know how he doesn't like Muggles."
"Yeah, because of his parents, right?"
"Yes Lily. Well, it turns out that he went out on another Muggle killing rampage, and I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your parents were caught in it."
Lily looked at him in disbelief.
"I'm afraid it's true, Lily."
Tears started to form at the corner of her eyes, and she leaned forward propping it up with her hands, trying not to cry.
"Lily, don't cry," Dumbledore said handing her a tissue, "Just go back to the Gryffindor Tower, you're excused from classes for the week."
Lily just slightly nodded her head and stood up, then walked out the door like a zombie, and it wasn't until she was on the staircase that reality hit her. She walked past the wall, which closed behind her and broke into a run, tears flowing freely down her face.
