Ok, here is chapter 3. Usual disclaimer, I don't own anything you recognise. I hope you like it and if you don't then oh well. So here it is

Chapter 3

2 year later…
They are all starting their 5th year. All, except for James and Lily are really close friends. For some reason, once again James and Lily drifted away from each other. Their still friends, but not as close as they were in their second year. But even so, Lily still wears the locket that James gave to her. It is one of the few things that she cherishes in life. I have to say that the start of the 5th year really started with a bang. With all 8 Marauders working together, they pulled the biggest prank ever! They started off with the yearly fireworks (in griffindor colours), then the charms expert kick in (and of course that is our Lily.) She made all the Slytherin students levitate while James (the transfiguration expert) changed each Slytherin into toads!
Then Fern and Jenni (potions experts) with the help of Sirius put a hiccup potion into each Slytherin's pumpkin juice and then Lily stopped levitating them just after James turned them back into people. After they sat down, each drank some pumpkin juice and they started hiccuping.
To finish off, Lily made it snow in the great hall and everyone applauded!

2 weeks later…
It was a Saturday and they were all relaxing. Lily and James had just finished another one of their usual arguments and Lily had stormed off to her dorm room.
That night…
Lily had a dream. It one actually more of a nightmare. There she was and Voldemort was coming towards her. She had just seen another person die, she supposed that was her husband, because this was an older version of her, she was wearing a wedding ring and had a baby in her arms. Just before the man had died, he called out to her and said "Lily, get out of here and take Harry with you! Ill try to hold him off!" and then he died. His voice was familiar though she did not know who's it was. Voldemort was coming towards her and then she saw a green flash… then she woke up.
And she was trembling. She was so scared. This was the third dream that she had had that was like this. She decided to go down to the common room and think about her dream, instead of trying to get back to sleep. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she did not realize that there was anyone else in the room. When she did she said "Oh sorry! I did not know anyone else was down here. I'll go away."
"Lil, will you please stay?"
"James??" James was the only one who called her Lil, and he hadn't done that for over a year, since they had started their fights.
"Yeah Lily. What are you doing up so late?"
"Well I could ask you the same thing. I just have a few things on my mind."
"Same here. I'm sorry for what happened earlier."
"Earlier? Oh that. Don't worry." There was something clicking into place in the back of her mind. That voice… she gasped.
"Lily, are you ok?" asked James and he came to her side.
"Not really James. You and I better sit down. This is going to be a long explanation." And she told him the whole story of her dream.
"And just now James I realised that that was your voice."
"Wow Lil. That was a really intense dream. I think we better get some sleep now and go see Dumbledore in the morning."
Lily yawned and said "Ok James" just before she passed out into sleepingville.
James lay his head on hers (which was on his shoulder) and fell asleep as well.

The next morning they woke up about 6 am and went down to Dumbledore's office. James said the password (sugarquill) and stepped inside. Lily raised an eyebrow at James.
"What? I have been here so many times, its no wonder I know the passwords now!" said an exasperated James.
"Chill out James won't you?"
They were now in Dumbledore's office. He was there of course, because his office was charmed so that it did not open unless Dumbledore was in there. James learnt that in the first year.
"James, Lily. Nice to see the both of you. Now what do I owe to this visit? I hope you have not been doing any more pranks…" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"No sir nothing like that. It's just that I have been having dreams…" Lily started and then Dumbledore interrupted saying…
"And you were wondering if I knew why this has been happening."
"Well sir its like this…" And Lily told the story again. "But this time about 5 minutes after I had the dream I talked to James and realised that the other voice was his. That was the third dream I had had like that." Finished Lily.
"Well Lily, I know that this has been traumatic for you. But I will say this. Don't let this get between you and your friendship with James. Same with you James, because you two are such good friends, even though you do fight."
And Dumbledore left it at that. James and Lily said thank you to Dumbledore and left as confused as they were, if not more- than when they had entered his office. It was now about 7 o'clock so James and Lily headed down to breakfast.
"Well, isn't it Potter and Mudblood. What's it like?" Sneered Snape.
"Oh well Snape, it's great having a friend that looks out for me. What about you?" Replied Lily sweetly and with that, she walked away. James punched Snape in the nose, then followed Lily.
Dumbledore, being the only member of the staff who witnessed this, paid no attention to it. He just walked up to the head table and sat down.
Snape went to his table and scowled.
James and Lily sat side by side at breakfast; All their friends were surprised and happy that they were back to being friends. But Arabella and Sirius (they were still together) had a suspicion that it wasn't going to last.

1 Week later…
After everything that Dumbledore had set in, James was frightened, as well as confused. If Lily's dream was real, then both of them will be in trouble. He didn't want anything to happen to Lil. He loved her too much.
From that day on, he made sure that he and Lil did not get any closer than friends. This was also about the time where he became very popular. It was like he had a new girlfriend every week. But in reality, it was a new girl every 2 weeks.
As this went on, Lily and James drifted further apart. They once again had their fights, but this time it was always about the way he treated the girls he went out with. Lily, although she would not admit it, was hurt that James would go out with so many other girls, and not go out with her. Lily actually loved him with all her heart. She had done since that first fateful day in Diagon Alley.
She had decided enough was enough and stopped being friends with him. If his girlfriends were more important to him than a pure friendship, as which he had with Lily, then fine.
She stayed friends with the rest of the Marauders, of course with 3 of them being her girlfriends, how could she not? And since James was ditching them all, she became the leader of the marauders, with the help of Sirius and Remus.

Another fateful day (about 2 months later)…
Lily had just received a letter from the Ministry of Magic. It was actually a longish letter but its message was clear. It read
Dear Miss Evans,
We are sorry to inform you of the loss of your mother, Penelope Evans and your cousin, Julia Evans as they have been murdered by Voldemort.
It was in the middle of the day at your home, and was reported by a handful of muggles, that they had seen the dark mark over your home. I am sorry to say that when we got some experts there, they were worse than dead. Their murder causes grief to all who knew your mother.
We know this must be a shock and we are sorry for this. The muggles will inform your sister, and you are to live with your Aunt Kat, who is a witch so that will be why you may have not ever heard of her.

I once again give my deepest regards

Hannah Weatherby


Ministress of Magic

This was at breakfast. Lily got out of her seat sobbing and ran off to her room. James, having seen her like this before, told Arabella and the other girls that he would look after her. Even though they wanted to look after Lily themselves, they somehow knew that James knew what he was doing. James took off towards her room and arrived there just seconds after her. She was so distraught that she forgot to lock the door. James came in quietly and locked the door.

"Lily?" James asked tentatively.
"James? What are you doing here?" asked Lily, who looked up and saw him there.
"Well, Lil, I saw you get up and run upstairs. I was worried so I came up here to see how you were and to ask what is wrong." James explained.
"Why were you worried about me? We have hardly talked in the last 2 months. You have been to busy with your girlfriend of the week!" said Lily, bitterly. "And the answer to your question is that my mother and Julia have been murdered by that bastard Voldemort. I now have no parents. And my only family is my Aunt Kat and Petunia." Said Lily, who then broke down crying again.
"Oh Lily! I'm sorry. I never meant to ignore you. I mean I can't really. I don't know why I was so distant. Well actually I do, but I would rather not discuss it right now. I am here for you now and I will be whenever you need me." And then James did something that surprised them both. He kissed her. And she, even though surprised, kissed back with the same intensity.
Then someone knocked in the door. They jumped back from each other and James unlocked the door. The rest of the marauders poured into the room. Well, actually the boys walked and the girls ran. They all crowded Lily asking her if she was alright. Well she was better now. The next person to come into the room was Dumbledore. He addressed Lily and said "Lily, you have the rest of the day off classes. I know it must be hard for you since your mother and Julia died. I'm sorry, I must go." And then he turned to walk away.
Then Lily asked timidly "Can I please have James stay with me for the day?"
"Of course Lily. But remember you should stay in Gryffindor tower. I would like to see you and James later on this afternoon, just after classes have finished if you please. Goodbye and I will see you two later," and he left.

Lily was then bombarded with questions, from everyone but James. The main one was 'why do you want James to stay with you?' and so Lily told them the story of what happened during the Christmas holidays of the second year. They were both surprised that they were able to keep it secret for such a long time. When Lily had finished her story, everyone except for James and Lily went to their classes.
"Lily, why do you want me here? You seem much better now" stated James.
"Well… as I told the others, you have always been here when I need you. But also because I want to ask you this: 'did that kiss mean anything to you?'"
"Lil, let me answer that question" and he kissed her again. "Does that answer it? Because if it doesn't, I am just going to tell you this. I have loved you for the past 3 years. But I just didn't want to hurt you, and well if you remember, Dumbledore said that your dream might be real." Said James.
"What dream? And you love me?" she asked
"The dream you had about 2 months ago. It was about you, me and a baby, and Voldemort was going to kill us."
"Oh James, I forgot all about that. I am just lucky that I have not had a dream since then."
"Lil, I know you haven't, but I have. I just haven't told anyone."
"Oh James that is terrible! Is there anything you can do about it?"
"No"
"Oh James I'm so sorry. But there is one thing I would like to say. I love you too. I have since I first met you that day in Diagon Alley. I just didn't realise that you felt the same way."
"Lil, I love you more than life itself. I promise now, that I will protect you forever and after." Said James, and he pulled her into another kiss. They just sat together on Lily's bed and soon fell asleep.
When everyone else found them later on that night, they knew they were destined to be together forever. James woke up first, to the faces of all his friends. He blushed and tapped Lily on the shoulder. Lily woke up and jumped a little when she saw all the faces. Then she started to blush. Sirius and Arabella exclaimed "ITS ABOUT TIME!" while the rest of them looked a bit confused.
"Are you guys friends again?" Remus asked with a small smile on his face.
"REMUS! Are you blind? They're a COUPLE!!!" Exclaimed Sirius
Lily and James groaned. It was enough that he and Arabella know, without telling everyone else.
Then Lily decided to speak. "Ok, we're a couple. Are you happy now?" The last comment directed to Sirius and Arabella who nodded excitedly.
Then James whispered to Lily and they rushed off. "Where are you going?" Asked Sirius.
"Dumbledore!" was what James said, just before he disappeared out the common room.
3 minutes later…
"Oh professor, I'm so sorry we're late!" Said a very puffed out Lily.
"Yes, well I know what the circumstances were. So don't worry." Said Dumbledore. James and Lily looked at each other.
"Sir, how did you know?" asked a curious Lily.
"I have my ways." Replied Dumbledore.
"Sir, why did you want to meet with us?" asked James.
"Well to say its about time and to tell you about an ancient prophecy that just happens to include the two of you."
The reaction from both James and Lily: "HUH???"
Then Lily regained her senses and asked the most obvious question "how could there be an ancient prophecy about us?"
"Well Lily, I am about as confused as you on that one. But a seer saw two people falling in love and that was meant to happen this year. As I can see it has."
James and Lily blushed. "But what does this all mean?" asked James.
"Well, your child will be the one to bring down the current evil. Which just happens to be Voldemort. I have only learned of this prophecy over the last week. Otherwise I would have told you about the prophecy last time I talked to you. And don't do anything stupid because you can't change your future, no matter how much you want to." Replied Dumbledore.
"Now, you two can have tomorrow off classes as well. I want you to think about this properly and we may have another chat about it tomorrow. Now go have some dinner and have a sound sleep. I will come and see you tomorrow morning."
James and Lily then left. They were bewildered by what they had just been told. They were both also scared, but they would never admit it. They were just happy that they had each other, and that night they fell asleep in each other's arms on the couch of the common room.
