Authors note: This is the final chapter sniff sniff, longer then the others, but who cares. Anyway this chapter is the climax, mixed with action, and a very fluffy ending. This chapter took me forever to get out. I suppose its because I was updating my other story 'In time, I couldn't help myself.' That's going to be a good 30 chapter story or so. Anyway its about Lily and Hermione getting switched in time, interesting if you want to read it. Last, but not least, from all the reviewers, I just decided to forget the story line it has to end up in, pair Lily&Remus, and James&??

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed my story

Disclaimer: O.K. You know this, and I know this *bangs head on keyboard*

Chapter eight, the last chapter

~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey James, I'm going to get some fresh air, do'ya wanna come?" Lily asked, James followed her outside.

"Lily I-" James was cut off by a loud explosion that came from the Great Hall. There was screaming, and the door burst open. All the girls were kicking off their high heels and running, the guys followed in pursuit.

"What's happening?" James asked on of the students, there was no answer.

"Lily?!?!" He turned around to where Lily was once standing, but she wasn't there.

The crowd pushed him along, as everyone headed in different directions. There was explosions heard coming from the great hall, and screaming. Meanwhile Lily dashed against the fleeing crowd hoping to get in the Great Hall.

"Remus! Maya! Where are you two?!" She shouted nearly missing a few collisions with house ghosts, heading the opposite way.

"Lily get over here!" Hissed a sharp voice, from the dark corner, then grabbed her wrist, and pulled her over.

Maya let go of her wrist then motioned for her to follow. She led Lily down a tunnel, and a few flights of stairs. It grew darker, and the walls moister, as the farer they went. By a few more flights of stairs, it was pitch darkness, the only way you could tell you were going was by the same type of steps. Lily imagined they were somewhere in the depths of Hogwarts, because vines were just coving the walls.

"Maya were are we going?" Lily was growing tired of this endless walk.

There was a sudden pain in her wrist, and from what she could only assume, Maya turned around, and had let go. There was panting for a moment or to.

"You know your suppose to be leaving like everyone else." Her voice made Lily shiver, this didn't sound like Maya at all.

"Are you, um ok?" Lily murmured expecting a good slap, but there was nothing.

This freaked her out even more. She used her free hand, to grab her wand, but it was missing. When did she lose it? Wait, she left it up in the dorm room at the tower. She kicked her self mentally, and cursed under her breath.

"Either way, I'm glad you came Evans. Nice lure." Maya shouted, and before Lily could think twice, Maya pushed her down the steps.

She launched down, trying to grab onto something for hold, but then suddenly dived into water. The water wasn't normal, it was black, and harder to swim through. She struggled to see what was around her, and keep her head above water. There was a cold grasp to her right arm, and it pulled her upwards.

"You girl." It sounded like a snake hissing at her, Lily flinched, as it put her down on a solid surface.

"Who are you???" Lily shuttered to think, and could only make out a large figure standing before her, and a timid small hunchback one cowering behind its leg.

"Shut up girl, your fate is soon to come. Don't worry, I won't spare you even a few seconds left of pain." There was a high pitched evil cackling. (A/N: If you don't know who it is now, you really have to think.)

"Why do you want me?" Lily asked yet another question, she was trembling, and backed into a wall, which didn't really do her much justice.

"Your girl Lillian Potter make me sick. You have yet to ever know what trouble you will cause me. Well thanks to future Potter, and his stupid girlfriend, I was able to transfer back to the past. Now I will kill you. Lumos..." He hissed something like that.

A wand in front of her lit up, and now she could see who it really was. Long fingers, evil eyes, Tom Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort. She had never really seen him, only heard of him in the news, but if she had to imagine what he would look like, it would be exactly like this. The person behind him, she had to double take a few time, like the darkness was playing tricks on her eyes, she could have sworn it was Peter, but couldn't tell much.

Lord Voldemort swayed the wand in front of her a few times, before point it at her throat.

"Now girl, before I kill you, I will repay you for all you have done to me, but just existing Crucio!" He shouted pointing his wand at Lily.

She felt a sudden pain hit her, like no other. Lily shut her eyes tight hoping it all would end. The voices were laughing evily. Suddenly, it stopped.

The voices stopped laughing. They seemed concerned with something else.

"Avada Kedav-" Voldemort started, but then paused. It was silent, but Lily heard footsteps. They were coming down that secret passage way Maya took her down, well at least thought it was Maya. Then she heard a few voices, one sounded like that evil Maya, the other sounded like Remus.

"Get out of here!" Maya must have shouted.

"Stupefy!" Remus shouted.

Lily was distracted my some sudden other movents. Voldemort hissed somthing to the figure behind him, then turned to her, his evil eyes glittering.

"We'll met again, bet your life on it." He hissed, then in a split second he dissapeared, and the person behind did aswell.

"Remus!" She shouted, running up to met him at the edge of the stairs. She pulled him into a tight hug.

"I thought I'd never see you again." She finally let go.

"What happen?!" He asked staring around at the dark room they were in.

"Lord Vold-Peter-Maya-Crucio-Stupefy." Lily couldn't even manage all the words she had to say.

Dumbledore darted in, followed by McGonagall, Binns and others teachers. Dumbledore magically made a streacher, and sent Lily straight to the hospital wing.

Lily woke up a few days later in a bed. She could hear voices in the background, and her head pounded. Beside her, on the table get-well presents were stacked high.

"Mss. Evans, are you awake now." Dumbledore asked through the curtains.

"Yes sir." She said simply examing her arm.

The place where he cast the unforgivable curse was a lighting bolt scar down her arm. It slightly burned, but her attention.

"Can you please explain what happened? We have already heard most of the story from the student Remus."

Lily nodded, and explained what happened before hand. Every last detail, except for one. Expect for Peter. She didn't believe he would betrade them, well, not yet anyway.

"He saved your life my dear Lily. That was one of the unforgivable curses that has killed many full grown wizards, and witches." Lily nodded dumbly, as Dumbledore reviewed her story.

"Now get some sleep. You will be staying here one more night, and tomarrow morning schools out." Dumbledore added before leaving.

Lily tried to go straight back to sleep, she didn't want to think about James, Remus, Maya, or anything else. She just wanted to forget it all.

Lily woke up the next morning, to a familar face staring over at her, this one surpised her plenty.

"Maya?" Lily rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Yeah, its really me." Maya weakly smiled, which Lily didn't return.

"I'm sure you want an explaination. Supposable Tom Riddle set the imperius curse on me. I'm really sorry about that." Maya stared down at the floor, shuttering to even try to recall what happened.

"So whats going to happen now?" Lily asked.

"I guess I'll be sent to Azkaban until they can find some way to block the curse. If not...." Maya's voice got lower and lower, then she gave one last forgiving glance to Lily, and left.

Later that day Lily had her bags packed up. Her thoughts still on everything.

"Hey Lilz, you feeling anybetter." Was the most she got from everyone.

With the exception of Peter that is. Then James came up to her. "Hey Lily. We'll still not dating right."

Lily nodded, this was the last thing she needed, or even wanted.

"At first I guess I really wanted to make you jelous, now I think its better if we just um... go our seprate ways." James muttered.

Lily didn't seem the least bit upset.

After the last goodbyes she boarded the train heading for home.

"Hey Lily." A soft voice said, pulling open the door, of her empty compartment.

"Hey Remus." She gave, a real smile, which he returned.

For awhile she sat their talking about the day's events. Everything that happened.

"Remus I'll really miss you." She gave him a similar hug, to the life saving one last night.

"Lily." Lily looked up toward him, studying his eyes.

They stayed there for a few seconds. Until Lily shut her eyes, and thought one last time.

"Life's to big to have to many regrets. I'll never regret this." Lily smiled, and for once, not pretending, they shared their first kiss.

The end

~*~

That story was quite short, fluffy ending I think, but short never the less. Maybe I'll make a similar sequel. It was sort of a paradox for Harry, with Voldemort and all. Review to tell me if you think I should write a sequel or something, and don't worry for those others who read my 'In time, I couldn't help myself.' I write longer ones, this one is just what I thought would have happened.
