Authors Notes: Well Well Well, I have officially gotten the next chapter out
Authors Notes: Well Well Well, I have officially gotten the next chapter out! Cheers! And just to make this very clear, I am NOT the author of Boy Against Girl, that author is Aly, my amazing beta reader, but NOT me. We share a name ….not stories. Lol, sorry for confusion we've apparently caused. However, we are co-writing a story about Lily and Sirius and James. Well, I hope you enjoy. I love you all, and your reviewers are very inspirational. Thank you all very much. 
 
The room was darkened with smoke; the only light coming from a few
dripping candles. Three years had passed, Melissa, Peter and Voldemort
had been biding their time wisely. The ministry had given up on their
locations, and the magic world was just starting to feel safe again. 
"Are you ready for this?" Peter whispered darkly staring at Melissa.
Melissa looked up, shocked at his dark tone. "I've wanted to kill for
years. I'm bloodthirsty, making me wait three years simply made my urge
stronger." 
Peter glanced at her, this was horrible. This was wrong. Not Lily, Not
James, not his very best friends, then just as if Melissa had been
reading his thoughts she whispered 
"Why Peter? Are you scared? Having…heh…second thoughts?" She smirked,
casting shadows on her face in the dim light. The castle was cold and
smelled of decay.
"Dears, are we whining again?" Voldemort breathed from behind them.
Chills shooting all over their bodies. 
"No Master." Peter flinched.
"I am. I'm sick of being in this god-forsaken place!" Melissa yelled,
approaching him. "I want the blood now. I want them to suffer." She
hissed.
"Good…good. Then…tonight is the night my dears. Tonight is the night."
His cape blew up into the air behind him as he spun, to leave the room. 
Peters stomach fell. Not tonight. I have to warn them. I have to! No
time! No time…..this is terrible. 
 
 
Lily, Jenny, and Felicia sat on the overstuffed couch in Lily and 
Jenny's
apartment. Lily had her still wavy, still fiery hair pulled up into a
messy bun. She was studying for her final exam in her auror class. 
Jenny
sat beside her, throwing popcorn in her mouth and glancing at the TV at
selected intervals. Felicia lay curled up on the sofa watching a movie. 
"I feel old." Felicia mumbled. "I'm twenty one….you guys are only
twenty." 
"Okay…where did that come from?" Jenny said throwing more popcorn in the air. 
"I'm only two weeks away from being twenty one." Lily laughed, still
staring at the three books in her lap, reading and taking notes. 
"This movie is stupid." Jenny said.
"I think its romantic!" Felicia cried.
"Of course you do, Remus is a regular ole' Romeo, and who do I get?
Sirius…he's a regular ole' …..Big bird." Jenny grumbled.
"Big bird?" Felicia laughed. "like from Sesame Street?" 
"yeah." Jenny laughed.
"Nice Comparison, Jen" Lily laughed, standing up and heading towards 
the
kitchen. She ran her fingers along the cool, smooth tiles of the
countertops, smiling. It was hard to believe soon she and Jenny 
wouldn't
be roomates anymore. The three years seemed too fast. Lily's things 
were
almost completely packed to go to Godric's Hollow. Almost….she couldn't
bear to leave Jenny though, but at the same time, she was beyond
excitement. She and James were moving in together finally! After the
wedding. She fondly let her thoughts roam back to that sunny evening just 2 weeks ago. 
~~~~daydream/flashback sequence~~~~~~
Lily Evans reached down and fingered her silky white dress. She stared
at her reflection, praying that she looked sturdier on the outside than
what she was feeling on the inside. She sighed. Her wavy wild red hair
was pulled into a french twist, yet a few wisps hung down. Her emerald
eyes shone with a fierce sense of love. Her dress hung off her 
shoulders,
and had no straps. It was formfitting until the waist, which made a
delicate v. Her dress then slightly billowed out with sparkles. She
grinned at her bouquet. Jenny and Felicia had picked the flower
arrangement. She looked down lovingly at her creamy orange, pink, and
white lilies. Her breath wasn't steady. Her body trembled. She looked 
at
Jenny, in her beautiful Lilac colored dress. 
"I can't do this! I can't. I love him to death, but what….what happens
if….if,…what happens…I loose him too. O! Jen! I couldn't take it!" She
fell into her arms and let out a loud scared sigh. 
Jenny smoothed Lily's hair. 
"You have loved James Potter since your first day you got here! You 
can
deny it babe." She looked in her eyes, she grinned remembering how her
and Felicia used to tease her. "You two have something that no one else
has. You two…are…special. Much more than meets the eye. Its beyond what
we can see, its in your hearts, now…don't tell me that you can't wait 
to
walk down the aisle with the man you love." 
Lily looked up at her and smiled weakly. "You just said something sincere and lovingly to me, Jenny." 
Jenny smirked. "Well, …yeah. Get away from me, Grow up Lily, Go, do 
that
walking down the aisle thing!" she yelled pushing her away. 
Lily laughed and hugged her tightly, and Jenny let her. 
"I couldn't live without you Jenny. You are my bestfriend, and I love
you. thank you." 
Lily released her, and stared her in the eyes. Jenny was crying. "get 
on
with it okay? Just go get married and crap." She shoved her forward. 
"um, Jen? One problem…You go first."
"I knew that. Good Luck Lil…you look beautiful, and I'll be right 
beside
you." and she left the room. Lily stared at her reflection again. 
"whew, its now or never, ….all or nothing." 
 
 
James was standing tall and handsome in a black tux and he traded his
glasses in for small, oval, black wire framed ones. His chocolate eyes
sparkled, and his hair was laying flat. He took Lily's breath away, 
she'd
never seen him so handsome before. He still wore that casual grin. She
wished she could be as calm as him. She squeezed Sirius' arm. He would 
be
handing her to James…….her father….she knew he was watching right now.
She smiled. 
Her footsteps were small, and graceful. She floated down the aisle. 
When
Sirius released her arm she looked at him and kissed him quickly on the
cheek. She couldn't stop the tears. James reached out for her hand, and
nodded at Sirius as he fell into place beside him. 
Lily looked into his eyes. She listened attentively, and recited the
words she was told. James held her hand delicately. She allowed her
glance to linger on him. She couldn't love him anymore.
"You may now kiss the bride."
James leaned down, and something struck Lily. This was their first kiss, ever. 
His mouth covered hers, and her eyes fluttered down. He held her 
dearly,
in a way you could never truly understand unless you loved someone so
deeply, you felt that you couldn't breathe a minute without loving 
them.
The kiss was long, since it was their first, and they were hugging the 
entire time. Warmth washed over the two, until they forgot that they 
were
in a large cathedral, that so many were watching them. All they knew 
was
love. All they felt was love, and all they saw was love.
 
 
"Hey! Are you getting that popcorn or what!?" Jenny laughed from the
living room.
"Gosh Jen! Do you ever shut up! Leave her alone, she was thinking about
her wedding again. She has that dreamy look in her eyes! Just shut up
every once and awhile and let us be happy, its not our fault you got
stuck with Big Bird!" Felicia stared Jenny right in the face, 
pretending
to be angry, then they all erupted in fits of laughter.
Lily walked in carrying a large bowl of popcorn and her two books. 
"My head hurts. I don't want to study anymore." Jenny whined.
"Imagine that." Lily laughed, handing her and Felicia popcorn. 
"You were right Felicia…I was thinking about the wedding, and I just 
want
to tell you guys that I couldn't have asked for better best friends." 
She
smiled and sat down, flipping through her textbook again. Felicia stared straight ahead, deep in thought….
"Lily? I never told you this, but….you and Jenny are my everything. I
love you guys….and Lil, if it weren't for you. Remus and I, wouldn't be
an "us." So thank you, for being so strong." Felicia whispered. 
Then, just as the last words had escaped her lips, the door flew open.
Flames erupted everywhere. Felicia stood firm, she somehow knew what 
was
about to happen. Jenny dropped her popcorn. 
"Hey! There's a thing called knocking, and you made me drop my food!" 
she
screamed. That was Jenny, always being the comic relief of the group,
yet she clutched her wand out in front of her like a sword. 
Lily Evans was to her breaking point. She forced herself to remain 
calm,
but it was no use. She had had enough. This was it. 
 
 
"Master, you will go with me first right? Peter will kill the men, and
you and I will kill Lily for good, right? You'll be with me?" Melissa
begged.
"Yes." He hissed.
Peter smiled to himself.
 
 
 
"Felicia, Jenny, get your wands!" Lily cried over the explosion and
flames. The entire room was a ball of black …evil fire. Lily's nightmares had come true. 
Melissa walked through the flames. Voldemort on her heels. 
"CRUCIO!" Melissa cried at Felicia and Jenny. They dropped, screaming 
for
their lives. Felicia pulled Jenny away from the blasts last second. 
Jenny
ran towards Melissa, who needed wands when you could crush her with 
your
very hands? But Melissa was a coward, and refused to let Jenny have a
chance. She screamed "CRUCIO" again and Jenny took it full force. Lily
stared as she lunged for her before she fell. The look in her eyes,
pleading for help, as her knees roughly pounded the floor beneath her. 
It
was happening too suddenly. She couldn't stop anyone…She didn't save
her……no! Jenny had just died, and she was motionless, she could do
nothing. Felicia was still crying in pain. 
"Stop it!" Lily screamed. "You came for me! Not for them! You cowards!
Kill me then! Not them!" 
But it was too late. Felicia's screams were endless. Jenny lay frozen 
in
death. Lily's heart stopped, her body hurt. No….not her best friends. 
 
 
 
Sirius, James, and Remus lay on individual sofas at Sirius and James
flat. 
"I wonder what the girls are doing." Sirius said.
"Lily is studying, Jenny is whining, and Felicia is laughing." Remus
yawned, "You know…the usual."
"Moony, shouldn't you be about to go into hiding?" James commented.
"Yes. I'll go in about five minutes, but this television, I've never 
seen
one, being a pureblood and all,….wow! Its terrific." 
Sirius laughed just as Peter came flying through the door. 
"Get up! Help me!" He screamed. He was sweating and panting as if he'd
run miles. 
"What?" Sirius said. 
James ran over to him and helped him to his feet. 
"Lily! Jenny! Felicia,…..dying….Voldemort….Mystica!" he screamed and
turned to run out the door.
James heart stopped. Not again. Not Lily. Remus sprinted, but Sirius
grabbed his cloak. 
"Moony, no….you have to go." Sirius yelled.
"I can't…she's in danger.. I have to…"
"You being there will also put her in danger!" James cried.
"Please guys….just let me make sure she's okay, then I'll leave." 
There was no choice. It was time to go. "Come on then!" James yelled
running towards the apartment. They were within a mile whenever the
explosions and crashes reached their ears.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~'
 
"You bitch!" Lily screamed, diving onto Melissa. 
"YOU KILLED HER! YOU EVIL HEARTLESS……" Lily screamed, throwing punch
after punch on her flawless skin. She gripped her blonde hair and 
lifted
her head roughly from the ground and shook her. 
"How could you!" She cried. The hot tears burning her face, but anger
taking over. 
Voldemort pulled Lily up and raised his wand at her, sending her flying
into a wall again. 
"There will be no more of that." He hissed. Lily gripped her wand. She
hadn't been studying to be an Auror for nothing. She sent a huge bomb 
in
front of him, sending him flying and knocking Melissa out. She 
scrambled
to find Felicia and Jenny in the thick smoke. That…and the explosion 
had
killed the electricity. She spotted Felicia and dove to her. Felica
looked up at her innocently. Her eyes were full of fright, and she was
shaking.
"Jenny?"
Lily hugged her tightly and groped on the floor for Jenny. Her body 
began
to quaver with anger. When she spotted her, she was coughing madly, her
breath sounded shallow and raspy. 
"Well, that….{wheeze/cough} hurt." Jenny mumbled, tears running from 
her
eyes, but no sobs escaping her bleeding lips. 
"Jen! Oh No….Jen, hang on….I swear…you won't die. Fight it Jenny! Fight
it!!!" she screamed in a whisper. 
"Don't let go. Fight!" Lily cried, as Jenny silently shook her head no.
She could fight no longer.
"Jenny, I love you….Jenny! I love you!" Lily sobbed.
"I love you too kid….you live….{wheeze/cough}…….for me, for James….for
Big bird…" she released a weak laugh. "And kill that evil skank Mystie
for me…will you?" 
"jenny…Mystie?! What?! Never mind…save your strength…." Lily
cried…cradling her in her arms like a baby. "I love you…..you saved my
life so many times, and now I can't save yours…" 
"Stop trying to save the world Lil….save yourself first. I love you
Evans…oh I suppose you are Potter now." She whispered…"Its 
Mystica…….its
mystica….oh…I'm dying now….really…it hurts, but the pain is growing
weaker….I have to go now…Oh No! I hope God wasn't watching whenever I
stole Sirius bike to be funny. Lil, I love you." Jenny breathed…then
stopped. Her lungs rose and dropped for the final time. 
"No….no…" Lily cried, as Voldemort came behind her and mumbled a curse. 
"LILY!" James screamed. 
Lily spun around as a sudden light came soaring at her….it wasn't the
death curse…it was…oh no….Cruictacius…..no…oh the pain… I have to fight
it….no…the white hot searing pain spread all over her. FIGHT IT! Jenny
screamed in her ear. FOR ME! Lily collapsed, and everything grew dark. 
 
 
"Peter! What is this!" Voldemort cried. 
"Master….they……they got free….." he whispered so Sirius, James, and Remus couldn't hear. "I'll handle them."
"No! Peter! That will be the last time you handle anything." He cried
calling out a curse just as Remus called on him. The reaction was a
deadly explosion that sent them all flying. Voldemort stood up shakily
and turned on Remus. 
"You fool." He breathed, clutching him around the neck.
Remus stared at him and held his wand right in front of his red eyes.
"Lumos!" he cried. The blinding light from his wand forced Voldemort to
drop him. 
He scattered and then spotted Felicia. His heart sank., he could feel
himself morphing. NO!
" Melissa we must leave now!" Voldemort cried, "Too many, far too
many…better time" and the two disappeared. 
James looked for Lily for minutes that felt like hours. He could hear
Remus's growls.. James dreaded what condition Lily would be in. Then he
saw her…messy bun, fiery red hair, tear streaks everywhere on her face.
He ran to her and held her in his arms. 
"Lily!" he screamed. "Oh please God…no, not her." he prayed. 
She felt him shaking her and crying but she couldn't muster the 
strength
to open her eyes, so she lightly squeezed his ring finger. 
"Lily! You're alive…stay here…stay with me. Please Lil, don't leave me
here, not without you. I can't make it without you." he cried. 
She made herself open her eyes. Her entire body ached. "James" she
whispered, seeing Sirius worried face nearby. "Jenny, …dead….he 
killed….I
can't…I couldn't save her…held Jenny till death…..she cried….Felicia
was….in so…much pain…I can't….I tried……Voldemort and
Melissa……explosion….unforgivable curses…..dead." She mumbled broken
sentences. 
"James…she didn't…she didn't just say that Jenny was ……dead?" Sirius
whispered fearfully.
James nodded his head sadly. 
Sirius let his knees his the floor roughly. His life. What happened from here?
Remus was now completely transformed, and coming towards Felicia with an evil look in his eyes. 
"No!" James cried lunging on the animals back, that was no longer his
friend. He had no choice, the only way Remus would recognize him would 
be
to change into the stag. He sighed and transformed. Suddenly, sparkling
in the dim room stood a stag with white hair that sparkled and glowing
brown eyes. It was an elegant creature as it quickly prodded to the
werewolf. He thought the words he would say if he and Remus were human
and stared hard into Remus's blue ice, cold as ice.
"Thats Felicia, you love her…you love her! Don't hurt her, don't hurt
anyone in here." James concentrated hard on his eyes, and Remus heard his thoughts. 
The others watched in shock as the evil possessed looking creature
stopped, tail between his legs and laid down at Felicia's feet. The 
stag
stood silent glowing, until he was back to James. 
Felica was crying and screaming. "Can he understand me James!?" She
yelled.
"Yes…look him in the eyes." 
"You LIED to me! YOU NEVER TOLD ME! You placed Shellie and I in serious
danger! And Shellie! Who knows what will happen to her! Remus," her 
voice
grew miserable and quiet. "How could you not tell me!?" She ran from the room tears flying. 
 
 
 
Lily stared straight ahead her black dress looked too neat, her fiery 
red
hair was pulled up into a tight bun, that looked too uncomfortable. 
Sirius, also in all black, heaved in silent tears. Remus's darkened 
blue
eyes released cold torturous tears. No one could look at him. 
James sat uneasily between Sirius and Remus. Remus got up and walked out the door. 
"Remus?" Sirius called as Remus spun slowly around facing his words.
"Live…don't go do something drastic….live….for her. She would want you
to." Sirius whispered. 
"They." Remus whispered. 
"what?" James asked.
Lily finally spoke for the first timein days. "She's pregnant…..a girl,
Michele..or Shellie." Lily whispered. "About 3 months along. Found out
after her wedding." She looked down, there were no tears left in her,
nothing left to cry. 
Remus closed his eyes, his heart ached in a way that he knew he could
never shake off. Sirius stood and walked to him, 
"She'll come back." 
"No Padfoot, never. She always said "Just be honest with me, I love 
you.
Its that simple" and the one thing she asked from me, I failed to do. 
She
is gone for good. She knows that I'm nothing more than……an animal." He
whispered. 
Lily sat in unalarmed silence, staring straight ahead. Her spirit
destroyed. She couldn't even cry. Poor Remus and Felicia, no hope.
Jenny…..beloved Jenny…no hope. Saving James…..no hope. No hope. No 
hope.
No hope. No hope.
"Remus…come back here. We'll all figure this out…..together, come on."
Sirius said. 
"We're here for you." James said.
"GUYS! Take a look around here! Lily is dead in spirit! Jenny is dead!
Felicia, the love of my life, hates me, and my daughter will never know
me! Sirius, we have nothing. James and Lily! How long before you have 
to
go in hiding!? How long before he kills Lily!? We all know it…we all
know that she is going to die! WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO HOLD ON TO! I
guess I'm just the first to realize that." He yelled, his blue eyes
exploding in frustration. 
"No…we just don't give up." Lily said passionately. Her second sentence
in four days. She stood up, no longer a robot, entrapped by depression.
She ran to Remus and held his trembling body in her strong arms. He let
go……he sobbed into her shoulder, hugging her tightly. 
"We are in this together Remus. If I die, you all have to go on. You 
have
to live, because we can't give up. Because friendship never stops. So we can't just let go." She whispered. 
Thats Lily. James thought. Always being strong for everyone else, even
when she was about to collapse within.
