SOUL MATES….. OR PLAYMATES? PART 2



… Lily turned around and gasped. Standing behind her were the Slytherin boys, who - like Lily, and most of her friends - were about to enter their sixth year. Lily had always thought it was a pity that they had to graduate with such idiots. Anyhoo, (A/N L0L! I had to put that in SOMEWHERE!!) at the moment they were leering at the Gryffindors. They looked as though their sneers had been permantly plastered on to their pale, ugly, faces. They were looking at Lily and James - particularly - with the dislike dripping from their faces.

Lily also looked sort of scary herself, with her teeth and fists clenched. At the moment, she looked ready to kill. Anger was written all over her face, (A/N not literally people!! J) and the fury was clearly visible in her eyes. James stood next to her wearing almost an identical expression, but there was no need for him to look upwards, as he was eyelevel with the Slytherins.

"Well, if it isn't the pretty little Mudblood," Lucius Malfoy sneered. Snape, Crabbe, Goyle, and Avery laughed openly. (A/N Avery is a Slytherin right?)

"What do you want Lucius?" Lily spat.
Lucius laughed a cold laugh. "What? Trying to show off in front of you pathetic, little, good - for - nothing friends?" Lily glared at him.

"Don't you dare insult my friends Malfoy," she threatened.
"Aww… come on now Lil, we're all friends here in the magical world that you don't belong in," he said while draping an arm around her shoulder.

Lily threw his arm off. "Don't you touch me Malfoy."
Lucius sneered at her, and was just about to say something when James stepped in.
"What do you want with Lily, Malfoy? Either say something or get out of my sight." James said coldly.

Snape decided that he wanted to join in and replied,
"Oh we just wanted to tell the short little Mudblood to -," but he didn't get to finish his sentence. For Lily had just slapped him, and was moving on to slap Malfoy. When she reached her hand out to touch him however, he grabbed her wrist and swung her around.

"If you do that ever again, you'll be very sorry, sweet, pretty, Lily, " he said sarcastically, and threatingly at the same time, "You better watch your back while your at Hogwarts, and over next summer you filthy little piece of slime. His eyes were flashing, and he spoke in barely more than a whisper.

He let go of Lily, and stormed off, with his stupid gang following. The fear must've been evident on Lily's face, because James took her aside.

"Look, Lily, that was just black mail. Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't hurt you."

Lily flashed him a smile, that made James' heart melt for some odd reason. "Thanks a lot James, I really appreciate that, you have been an awesome friend!" With that, she gave him a huge hug, and dragged him over to their friends.

"So!" she said brightly "let's go get our money!" and she skipped off towards Gringotts. James gave the gang a look reassuring them that she was fine, and she didn't want to talk about it.
**************************

Now that everyone had gotten their money, Kirsten took charge.

"All right" she said, " where shall we go first?"

Lily blushed a little, "Well, er, I need to go to Madam Malkin's because my, um, robes are too small." She said the last part in a rush, and looked up. She noticied Sirius grinning at her, and so was James. Remus was looking at her with interest as well. Suzanne, seeing her discomfort, said, "Well, that fits, because I need new robes, and Lucia told me earlier that she needed them too." So off the went to Madam Malkin's. The boys decided that they wanted new robes too. However, they found another unwanted guest. The leader of the 'Hufflepuff Honeys', who worshiped the ground Lily, Kirsten, Lucia, Suzanne, and Nadia walked on was there. Her name was the most bizarre name in the world. It was… Pulchra. (A/N pronounced Pull- Kra) It was so bizarre to Lily because that meant beautiful in Latin, and she was anything but beautiful.

Lily tried to duck out of sight, but unfortuantly Pulchra saw her. She started waving frantically. "Lily! LILY! Over here! It's me! Pulchra!!"

Lily rolled her eyes at her friends, and walked over. "Hullo, Pulchra. Nice to see you, but if you don't mind, my friends and I really wanted to be together, you know, just US." Behind her, her friends were laughing silently. Pulchra obviously didn't get it. She just giggled, and went over to James.
"Hey Jamsie- poo, how are you?" she giggled. "Hey!" she said, "I'm a poet, but I already know it!" she laughed, thinking this was funny, and put up her hand to high five someone. Nobody did, they just stared at her. She put her hand down, and sort of slouched off. Nadia burst into giggles.
"She's so full of herself, that one!" she said.
Nadia was still giggling about 10 minutes later, and Sirius finally said,
"Nadia, WHAT are you laughing about? It wasn't that funny!" but Nadia just shook her head.
*******************************************

Lily ran inside at 8:30 that night, and her Grampy seemed very happy to see her.

"Hey sweetie! How was your day?" He said happily.
"Awesome Grampy, nothing at all went wrong! I'm going to go to bed now, I'm very tired." Lily didn't really want to tell him about the Slytherins.

**SKIP TO THE NIGHT BEFORE IT IS TIME TO GO TO HOGWARTS!**

Lily was going to the store to pick up some bread for her Grampy. It was really late, but she decided to do something helpful before she left. James was also in Muggle London along with Sirius. Unfortunatly, Peter couldn't come, and it was a full moon, so neither could Remus. Anyhoo, while Lily was taking a short cut through the alley way, five people made a circle around her. They were none other than Malfoy, Snape, Crabbe, Goyle, and Avery. She looked around at all of them, and was extremely scared. No one would be here to save her now.


"Well, if it isn't the pretty little Mudblood," Malfoy said while pushing her into Snape.

Snape pushed her off, "Come on Lucius," he said, "I just showered! I don't feel like getting slimed on."
Lily couldn't defend herself, she was frightened. Malfoy walked up to her and ripped off her shirt. "Didn't you Grandfather tell you not to walk down these 'dangerous alleys'? Maybe this is why.." Lily tried to run for it, but Crabbe blocked her way.

Lucius walked up to her and started kissing her. He then pushed her on the ground and layed on top of her. He started kissing her yet again, and Lily started screaming.

"HELP!! HELP ANY----" She got cut off because Lucius slapped her VERY hard.

"You little bitch," he snarled "shut up or else you'll be VERY sorry."
Lily sat frozen with fear, but had some more hope when she heard footsteps nearby. She pushed Lucius away, and screamed, "WHOEVER YOU ARE! PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!"

James and Sirius looked at each other, then they ran off, both thinking the same thing….. "That sounded a lot like Lily…"

When they turned the corner into the alleyway, they saw something that made them extremely angry. Lucius and Lily were laying in the middle of the alley, and it seemed as though Lucius was trying to rape her. Lily seemed beside herself with fright.

"Somebody help, help, help… please!" She was muttering in barely more than a whisper. Lucius laughed. "No one's here to help you now you filthy little piece of slime, you're all mine, now that my boys have left."

"Oh yeah?" said Sirius stepping out of the shadows. No way was he going to let anything happen to Lily. They were as close as brother and sister, and nothing, NOTHING, was going to ruin that.

Lucius pushed himself up, and kicked Lily away, "Oh yeah? What are you going to do? Hmm?"

James stepped up and looked him straight in the eye, "Something that will haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't leave Lily alone, Malfoy."

"Oh yeah?" said Lucius sounding faintly frightened.

" Yeah," said Sirius. "your boys aren't here to obey you now Malfoy, it seems that it was time for them to go home."

Lucius saw that he had somewhat of a point, so he gave Lily one final kick, and ran off before the boys could do anything.

James and Sirius ran over to Lily.
"Are you okay?" they both asked. Lily sat up and started sobbing.

"James, Sirius, why won't he just leave me alone? I didn't do anything at all to him! What does he want from me?!!"

James and Sirius exchanged looks. They had no idea, but they couldn't really think of anything to say to Lily to reassure her.

"Come on Lil, let's get you home." Sirius said sadly.
*********************************************8

After James and Sirius had walked off toward the Leaky Cauldron, Sirius turned to James looking very - well, - serious.

"James, Voldemort is after Lily. Malfoy and his gang are all probably Death Eaters. They might be trying to lure Lily into a trap of theirs, and I can't stand to lose her. She's as close as a sister to me. James, he's after you too, you guys have to be careful, I can't -" his voice cracked, and he turned away, "I can't stand the thought of not being around you guys. I love you guys."

James barely ever saw Sirius open up like this, but James lay a head on his friends shoulder, "Sirius," he said, "you don't need to worry about Lily and I, we are tough, and nothing will ever bring us apart. You are, and always be my best friend." (A/N aww.. sorry! I know that might've been corny…. But OH WELL!)

*SKIP TO PLATFORM 9 ¾ BECAUSE I AM TOO LAZY TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED! * (A/N nothing happened really!)


Nadia stood on the platform looking around for her friends. She couldn't see any of them, and it was already 10:45. She sighed, and turned around and screamed!


(A/N should I stop? L0L, nah! This is fun!!! )

Standing behind her were all of her friends. They were holding a huge sign saying,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NADIA!!!!!!!!

Nadia's birthday had been the week before, and she was ecstatic. They went onto the train, and she opened her presents. (A/N blah blah blah! BORING!)

Lily was sitting with her head against the window, fast asleep. James looked over at and tried to hide a smile, but failed. She just looked so sweet, and inoccent. But, of course, she wasn't because she hung out with the four Gryffindor sixth year boys. There were only four because the Sorting Hat insisted that there were six boys who belonged in Hufflepuff. James just realized that he was staring at Lily with an almost dreamy expression on his face for some odd reason. He never had those type of feelings toward Lily, James mentally shook himself and turned to see his friends grinning at him.

"What?" he asked.

Peter stepped in grinning, (A/N sorry, but in the 3rd book Sirius says that they were all best friends…… as much as I hate to do this.)

"Well," he said , "you were looking at the Mud - I mean Lily with almost a dreamy expression." He obviously thought that he covered up his mistake, but Sirius noticed it.

"Why were you about to call Lily a Mudblood Peter?" Sirius spat.

Peter said - amazingly smoothly - "Well, I was just thinking about Diagon Alley, when that stupid bastard Malfoy called Lily a Mudblood."

Sirius relaxed, and Kirsten was looking at him fearfully. He looked very scary for a moment, but now he looked fine. All of a sudden Lily screamed, an extremely loud scream.

"OH MY GOD!!" Lucia screamed. Lily continued to scream,

"NO NO NO!!! HAVE MERCY!!!!! PLEASE!!!"

"Someone wake her up!!" Suzanne cried.

James shook her, "LILY! LILY!! WAKE UP!"

Lily woke up with a start, sweating and shaking, "James! You- you're alive! Are you a ghost? Can they see me?" she said indicating to her friends who were watching her with amazement. "Where is he? Is he gone?" She got to her feet and looked behind her into the shadows. The dream had seemed so real. She sat down and started sobbing, as she recalled the dream in her head. James had been there, and Voldemort came, to kill her, and her baby - it was so hard to remember - he killed her!

Sirius kneeled down in front of her, "Lily, it's all right" he said soothingly, "it was just a dream."

Lily looked at him, "but it seemed so real, so very real… oh well, just go on with whatever you were doing."

"WE WILL BE ARRIVING AT HOGWARTS IN FIVE MINUTES TIME. PLEASE CHANGE INTO YOUR SCHOOL ROBES." Boomed the usual nasal voice over the loudspeaker.

Lily and her friends all went into a separate car to change, and when they came back, the boys stared at them. Remus seemed especially interested in Lucia. Then they stepped off the train, to begin their sixth year at Hogwarts.
