Smells like a flower, but stings like a bee, sits on the pedal crying tears of honey. Green eyes soaked with golden drops of sadness. How she wished for the sun, how the wish eats her up inside. The clouds break and show the moon, pale and cold. How she wishes she could leave, how she dreams for the cold anxiety to wave goodbye, suddenly though, golden orange drips into the sky, as the firey red sun opens up the heavens, all is well.-Written on Saturday June, 23rd, 2001 at 3:00 pm.



Darkness struck soon after Lily and James' marriage. Two weeks after their special day Lily had received word of the most devastating news of her short life.



"Dear Lily,

I am so sorry I have to deliver this news but, Ernie Avi and Charlie Peterson have been murdered. While working as Auroras for the M.O.M the two were asked to hunt down Tom Riddles strongest men. While tracking the two men, Charlie and Ernie were found out by Tom himself. In a final act of murderous anger he told Ernie and Charlie they were going to rot in hell, and to wait just a few years for you, because my dear, Lily Evans are the next on his list.



Write me if you need more information,

Sadly- Professor Albus Dumbledore"



Lily's knees shook and fell from under her as she read the end of the letter. She started to cry and shake madly. Her face was pale and overworked and she sat there hugging her knees and crying, waiting for James to come home.

"Lily, bug, I'm home." James opened to door to see that Lily was no where in sight. He rushed to the kitchen where he found her pale, all the life sucked from her usually rosy red cheeks. She had fallen asleep but tears still fell into the tiny pool around her dark hair. She sat shaking, wincing in pain as though someone was stabbing her heart.

"No, no, no!" she whispered but soon screamed. James held her shoulders and shook her violently trying to wake her.

"Lily, bug you have to wake up!" She refused to wake up so he picked her up and carried her to their bed up the stairs. He laid her down ever so gently and saw that she was clutching a note in her hand. He tugged it slightly and it fell into his hands. He read it once, then again, and again. *No wonder* he though sadly. He laid down next to her sleeping body, wrapped his arms around her protectively and held her.
