'Lily Evans will marry James Potter' the thought wasn't getting out of his head. It burnt. It killed. It was hurting; but that was what Lily confirmed. He couldn't sleep when he went to bed. Next morning he got up.
Eating was hard, too. He went to Great Hall for breakfast. Large group of people were gathered around James and Lily who were standing hugged, happiness sparkling on their faces.
-"Show offs" - Ancilla muttered from the other side of the table in malevolent acidic tone. Her eyes were narrowed and she mourned love she is missing.
-"You and Lucius at least don't have anyone barricading your love" - Severus replied her. She scornfully turned around to view Lily and James one more time.
-"If we had no barriers, you think I would let him go?" - she asked slowly.
Severus didn't answer. They sat at the deserted Slytherin table.
When she finished her breakfast, she headed towards the Gryffindor table.
-"Congratulations" - she sneered maliciously at James and Lily as she shook their hands.
-"Thank you" - Lily replied stiffly.
-"James, can I talk to you for a moment?" - she turned to James.
-"Say what ever you have? I'm listening."
-"In private" - she retorted.
James lazily got up, and followed Ancilla to out of the Great Hall and castle. For a bare moment, he suspected that she is taking him to the place he offered Lily marriage. She didn't. She just sat on the solid stairs to the entrance. James sat beside her.
-"Spill me your soul" - he imitated Trelawney.
Ancilla had a sudden urge to laugh for a second. Like James, she got so sick and annoyed of that old fraud that she dropped her divination, too.
-"How do you know about Lucius and me?" - her eyes carried a frank question mark.
James frowned. -"I don't want to lie to you, I saw how much you love him. A day before I asked you out for grad, you two were having conversation in one of the Hogwarts classrooms."
She nodded.
-"I accidentally saw you two." - James looked away.
-"Explains everything."
-"I'm sorry, Ancilla..."
-"It's ok James. I won't be asking you what were you doing there. But I just want you to know how I feel."
James and Ancilla were looking straight into each other's eyes.
-"The way you felt when Snape took Lily to the grad... well multiply that feeling by thousand" - her eyes seemed fragile. Tears were shining in them, threatening to fall out.
-"Ancilla..." - he held her both hands -"I hope... I sincerely hope one day, you and Lucius will be together. He loves you. I was highly suspecting he could ever love anyone accept himself. But that was wrong, really wrong."
Tear was burning her fair face.
-"Oh, don't cry, come here" - he hugged her. She gritted her teeth. She shouldn't be on James' side, she was Severus' friend. But did it matter?
Hogwarts Express finally arrived to the picturesque station of Hogsmeade. Nervous students filled the train dragging their heavy trunks behind. James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus conquered a compartment for themselves. Later Lucius and Peter came to see what are they doing.
-"I'm terribly sorry that before I didn't have chance to congratulate you" - Lucius sneered maliciously at the happy pair. He wore the same expression of hatred Ancilla carried.
-"It's ok" - James smiled innocently.
Lily didn't feel like expressing herself in any way, even knowing Lucius would never dare insulting her in front of any of her friends for what she said.
They sat there and chatted about what are they going to do now.
-"Father is sending me off the Ministry" - Lucius exclaimed, proudly -"he said he will find me a decent position for someone who just graduated from Hogwarts."
-"I'm getting employed at the Nimbus Racing Broom Company" - said Peter.
-"Make sure they finally release a new model. They still only have Nimbus 1000. The very first model." - James said. -"I'll try for Quidditch team, Puddlemere United. If that doesn't work I want to work in Ministry of Magic, Department for Sports."
-"I wanna write for Daily Prophet" - smiled Lily.
Deep sign was let by Lupin. He said nothing. How will he ever find a job?
Lucius was bored with all their surfacing talks and went of to see where his friend Severus is. He couldn't find him. He entered the last compartment of the train.
Firstly, he looked who's in. His heart beat loudly when he realized it's Ancilla, all by herself. She sat on the seat, her feet up, and filling something in.
-"Hallo" - Lucius said quietly, closing the door, and sitting opposite of her.
-"Hi" - she answered lifelessly, raising her head and frowning.
-"Have you seen Severus?" - he finally asked after an awkward pause that seemed like it lasted about several hours.
-"No" - she shook her head, turning to Lucius.
-"Oh, ok than" - Lucius wanted to leave.
-"Wait, I wanna ask you few questions" - she got her legs of the seat, and turned to Lucius. Lucius approved, noddingly.
-"What are you going to do now?"
-"Ministry; it's in my genes" - she answered carelessly.
-"No, I meant do you have any other plans. Who are you going to marry?" - her voice trembled.
-"I talked to my father, and he agrees that a suitable wife for me would be Narcissa Bruckner" - he said dully.
-"Do you like her?" - Ancilla said, cautiously.
-"No." - Lucius looked away.
Ancilla breathed heavily the dense air in the compartment. Her eyes were flying over the shapes out of the window.
-"What job did you consider doing? Knowing you, no one could tether you into being a house wife."
Ancilla almost smiled as she glanced at Lucius.
-"Ministry, too. I heard that there is open space of Azkeban governor."
-"That job is too often open spaced. It's easy to get it, but not a lot of people could stand more than few months doing it." - Lucius sincerely said.
-"I don't know. I don't care. I just want to die" - her eyes reddened; Lucius went and sat beside her, hugging her.
-"Don't cry, you know I love you. I swear that... even I have to wait until my next life, I will be with you."
Ancilla said nothing. She was lulled into his arms. Suddenly she raised her head so it was staring into Lucius' face.
-"Lucius, I need to know this. Please don't lie to me, I know you from your core, I sense when you're lying. Have you even considered going over to the Dark Side?" - her voice was serious. Out of her dark eyes, flame of thorns was flowing.
-"Yes" - Lucius confirmed to her what she suspected for a very long time.
-"That would you accompany me at taking the veal?"
-"You want to join Dark Lord?" - Lucius eyed her in enigma.
-"Lucius, I never thought that you would be questioning this? I want to be with you when I do this" - she was caught in suck ecstasy that her fingers were pressing really hard his shoulders that she held.
-"Oh, don't worry, I surly shall not question our decision ever again. This is the way I like you, not when you whine me about your love; this way, you persuade me into anything." - Lucius' charismatic voice was again speaking.
She frowned happily.
-"You just have no idea in what delirium you take me" - she said melancholically before she let him kiss her.
Meanwhile only person who wasn't at the Hogwarts Express that moment was Severus Snape. He stayed at Hogwarts.
-"Dumbledore, now I shall present you my Potions assistant" - Professor Snake let Snape into Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore grinned at the sight of Severus.
-"As you know, Albus, soon enough I will go to retire" - said Professor Snake grimly. -"And this is who I would like to turn to be my heir as a Potions Master" - Snake tapped Severus heavily onto his shoulders. Severus smiled to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore wore his cheerful, benign face.
-"As you see, things seem to getting worse and worse, Julius. When so-called Lord Voldemort presented himself as a Dark Wizard with his inner circle of followers, everyone thought he was just one more loony. But he wasn't. Times right now are bad. It's hard to find decent people you can trust" - Dumbledore said quietly. Professor Snake was looking at him showing no emotions, while Snape was thinking 'Couldn't he possible know I was considering to go over to the Dark Side at the few sinister moment?'
-"Of course, but unfortunately, I guess that some of those kids who just graduated could fall in front of his steps and let themselves get stomped" - commented Professor Snake, obscuring his real opinion.
-"Well, lets forget about those things for now. Welcome aboard Assistant Snape" - Dumbledore smiled, and got up, ready to shake Severus' hand.
Hogwarts Express arrived into King's Cross in London. Students were flowing out of the train. Lily and James, holding their hands, and carrying their stuff were battling to go through a sea of gitty first years.
-"So you're sure I can stay at your place for some time?" - James once more wanted to confirm that.
-"How many times do I have to answer you, yes."
They got through the barricade. Lily and James went separate routes. James went of to his guardians to tell them he'll be staying at Lily's. Than he went to find Lily saying goodbye to bunch of her Gryffindor friends. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter said goodbye to each other. They were sad because they didn't manage to make so much mischievous in last several months of Hogwarts.
-"James this is my family" - Lily said, cheerfully as they were going towards the car.
-"James dear, we have nothing against you staying at ours" - a tall woman with blond hair said. She smiled at James.
-"We?" - said someone scornfully. Lily didn't pay any attention to her older sister.
-"Petunia, please" - Mrs Evens said.
Petunia was Lily's older sister. To be exact, she had two more years than Lily. After completing her school (with poor marks) she tried to go to the University. Economy was what she picked on the Holloway in Surrey. It haven't worked out, and everyone's decision was that it's better for Petunia to come home, and get married.
-"So you're James" - said Stewart Evans brightly. Lily's father Stewart was a good looking man in his forties. His blond mane of hair was messing on his high brow.
-"Yes" - James answered.
They from the King's Cross to their town house at the suburb of London. An old row of Victorian town houses lined up in Dufferin Way. Lily was the first one to exit the Ford Escort. Petunia strolled after her their mother following them. James and Stewart said to unpack all the luggage.
They brought the trunks and owls upstairs and headed to the living room. Inside, Lily was excitedly telling her mother everything. Jill, her mother, seemed to like James a lot. During all that time, Petunia would sit with bitter face. She gave James 'You don't belong here' stare as he entered the living room. He sat beside Lily. He didn't care to catch any of her quick words.
He glanced around a beautiful living room. They were sitting on sates of deep red velvet. Oak coffee tables, shelves, and newspaper stands were dressed in dark shiny color. Bright large windows were curtained with most expensive and finest royal blue curtains. 'Evanses must have good taste' James thought.
Suddenly he noticed Petunia. She eyed him in disbelief.
-"So you're one of 'them'" - she mocked.
-"Yeah" - James answered sarcastically.
She said nothing else.
-"Oh, mommy, I must show you a new trick" - Lily drew attention from everyone, drawing her wand.
Petunia was curious what she will do but at the same time resent was overflowing her. She jerked her neck so she could have clear view on what Lily was about to do.
Before Lily did the spell she looked at James, who smiled encouragingly at her.
Smiling, she said -"Transfigurapestis". Her wand was pointed at the tea pot. Suddenly, it turned into a rat.
Petunia screamed when she saw it, yelling: -"Getting it out? Out!" Her hand was waving frantically through the air.
-"Accio Pestus" - Lily grabbed the rat into her hands, and made it disappear. She smiled at Petunia, who was terrified. James was laughing inside. Jill was calming Petunia down.
-"Oh Lillian, can't you come up with some more appropriate tricks?" - Mrs Evans asked. Lily smiled innocently, winking to James. He winked back.
-"Let me show you one of the tricks I learnt" - James said, drawing his wand. He waved, and conjugated three roses - red, white, and yellow. He gave Lily the red one, Mrs Evans received a white one, and Petunia stiffly accepted her yellow one.
Lily took James to show him where he's going to be sleeping.
-"James, if you don't mind, you will be sleeping on the couch in my bedroom" - she said.
-"No, not at all" - James seemed quite distant. He was thinking about how Snape was burning down from his jealousy now. Lily interpreted that wrongly. She thought...
-"James don't be upset. You know, but I really find it wise if we... you know... waited until we get married" - he found it awkward to word all this.
James smiled softly.
-"Of course we are going to wait."
Snape was indeed rotting all alone with his jealousy.
'James Potter... I swear one day... I'll get you back for all this..."
He despised James. He despised everything that linked to James in any way. Accept Lily of course. He was sitting in his room at Hogwarts. That will be his new home. Only thing that was left for him to do was to study for what he will be teaching next year.
He won't be going back home. He was an only child of a heavy aged widower.
Severus was indeed appalled of thought what disgrace his father would title him to. Ceacilius Snape already entitled him a 'Biggest Family Disgrace', 'The Disgrace of the Century', and 'Disgrace for a Disgrace' were only few of the insults he had to carry on his back.
'No, I won't be taking any shit from him no more.'
He gazed through the window. Sun seemed to be shining out of his hands.
-"Dear Lily, either you are mine or you die" - Severus said in undertone. -"But you're not, and you shall die."
Lucius and Ancilla wasted no time to do what they were determined to. They hid that from each other, but each other's wish was Dark Arts. Using no one else than their fathers, both of them were introduced to the Dark Lord. With no second glance, the Dark Lord let Lucius enter his service. Painful Dark Mark was carved into his core.
At first, he was unsure how he should be with Ancilla. She was the first female that ever was about to put the veal of darkness on. Long set of questions he asked she passed. I can't say Lord Voldemort was unsure when he let her in, Dark Lord is never unsure, but he was little nit-pick when he did so.
James was enjoying his staying at the Evanses. Mr Evans would teach him about all the typical Muggle stuff and how to drive car. Mrs Evans was honored to have him over. She never said this, but she didn't like Petunia's boyfriend, Vernon much. He was just too ordinary.
One day during the dinner conversation Mr Evans had an interesting idea.
-"Petunia, you know what? You and your boyfriend Vernon should go out for a dinner with Lily and James."
Petunia's face whitened. With numb voice she answered: -"But dad, Vernon still doesn't know Lily is getting married... should we first..."
-"That would be a great idea indeed" - smiled Mrs Evans. -"You can phone him right now to tell him about that."
Petunia left the table, slamming the dinning room door behind.
Lily wasn't happy about this either. She met Vernon once and he wasn't what you can call the most pleasant person to be with. He kept talking to her parents in oily tone, supporting them in every little opinion.
-"Vernon, there is a dreadful thing happening at my house..." - her hushed voice was saying. She was talking over the phone in the hall.
Eating was hard, too. He went to Great Hall for breakfast. Large group of people were gathered around James and Lily who were standing hugged, happiness sparkling on their faces.
-"Show offs" - Ancilla muttered from the other side of the table in malevolent acidic tone. Her eyes were narrowed and she mourned love she is missing.
