Lily skipped upstairs, humming to herself. She changed into a pair of white Capri's and a green shimmery halter-top that hugged all the right curves. She took a few moments to stare at her reflection before putting on a matching shade of eye shadow and some clear lip-gloss. Tonight she felt powerful, beautiful, and utterly wonderful. She laughed at herself and grabbed the love-letter, before returning downstairs with a light smile on her lips.
***************************
James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter quietly left the common room, and strode quickly up the stairs. Tonight was the full moon. Three of them cast worried glances towards Remus who was looking more tired by the moment. They reached the dorm, and James retrieved his invisibility cloak. James, Sirius, and Peter huddled beneath it, and nodded to Remus. It was time for him to greet Pomfrey, and be lead to the shrieking shack.
Remus plodded lightly downstairs, and they could hear him making excuses to the Gryffindor population, saying he was feeling under the weather. James snorted, a bit under the weather? How about a bit over the moon…
The marauders waited silently. The common room always took a while to empty. When the last few stragglers marched themselves up to bed, The slipped through the portrait, and made their way to the grounds.
Once on the ground they transformed and discarded the cloak. By the whomping willow, Peter slipped through the branches and pressed a knot on the tree, causing the tree to become motionless. They then opened the secret passage and bounded down to meet their friend.
*********************************
Lily looked up from her book, to the common rooms clock striking midnight. It was time! She concentrated her energy and cast a wandless invisibility spell. It was quickly becoming her specialty. She grinned and climbed out of the portrait hole, ignoring the Fat Lady's shrieks of, "who's there? WHO'S THERE?"
When she reached the grounds she headed off towards the lake, hoping to maybe catch a glimpse of her friend, Bane. In all the excitement, she had totally forgotten to tell him of her interesting letter, and her wishes that it was Lucias. He would be happy that she had found a friend truly interested in her as a person, and not a pretty plaything.
She removed her invisibility charm, noting to tell Bane of that too. She glanced at the Whomping Willow in the distance and didn't see anyone around yet. She had a couple minutes to sit and think by herself. She sat on the sandy beach of the lake, and gazed into the crystal blue water, wondering what the night was going to yield.
*********************
The motley trio of animals met Remus at the end of the passage. "Hey moony old pal, long time no see, right?" James grinned slightly.
" I do believe about a month, if I'm not mistaken?" Remus growled back. "What're we doing tonight?"
"We're gonna explore more of the forest" Sirius inserted.
They ran the length of the passage, and out the door at the base of the Willow. Peter had disappeared again, but he always seemed to be slightly, well extremely, afraid that Remus would get it into his mind to eat him.
Remus let out a shrieking howl as the moon came into view. Damn that hurt James's eardrums. He turned and surveyed the landscape, but stopped short, and made a move to hinder Remus. What was Lily doing by the pond?
"Oh shit Oh shit Oh shit…" James muttered under his breath. Sirius and Remus looked at him questioningly but got his point when they followed his eyes. Remus shot him a warning look, and starting to run. His animal instinct was controlling him, and he wanted some fresh blood.
*********************
Lily turned around, startled. A howl pierced the air, and caused the hairs on her neck to stand on end. She looked around. Across the horizon stood three large animals, A Stag, a dog which looked to her like a grim, and
"Oh shit Oh shit Oh shit…." Lily picked herself up. Why the hell didn't she bring her wand? She recast her invisibility spell, blinking out of sight. The werewolf stopped for a second, stunned that it had momentarily lost its prey, but sniffed and knew exactly where its prey was. Lily screamed, and started running.
She dashed into the forest and promptly tripped on a tree root. She picked herself up and started darting through the trees. Branches whipped out at her and scratched her face and her arms. She came to a clearing and set up a shield, praying her strength would uphold it and keep the wolf at bay until the rays of dawn showered the forest canopy.
She sat and waited, the moments growing longer as seconds ticked by. At once the werewolf burst into the clearing, and ran into the invisible barrier. He rammed into it again, and then again, weakening it until it finally collapsed.
Lily, knowing that running was hopeless, turned and raised her hand in a large sweeping motion. The wolf was caught off its feet, and slammed into a nearby tree. It retaliated and caught itself mid drop, managing to land on its feet. It ran growling at her knocking her off her feet, but she rolled and apparated a few feet away. They fought each other for a couple minutes, when the silver stag and black shaggy dog returned to their mist. They ran to the snapping wolf and dragged it off, leaving Lily with numerous bruises and small cuts.
The wolf, dog, and stag struggled to the passageway, and with a final shove, Remus was locked back inside the shack, with the guarding of the tree. Sirius and James transformed, panting.
"Sirius, that was close…we're not doing this again." James managed to get out, smiling slightly at his best friend. Sirius smiled back but a strange look came into his eyes.
"Shit James…we left Lily."
********************
Lily sat in the clearing, exhaustion claiming her. She collapsed onto the ground, but looked back up at the sound of footsteps. She tensed, determined that she wasn't going to die without a fight.
But it was Potter. James looked at the girl in the clearing, his head and his heart hurting. Lily was bruised, cut, and crying softly. She ran to him and clutched his shirt. He murmured comforting words and took her into his arms. He sat her down in the grass, and started to sing a lullaby his mother had sung to him when he was little.
Lily felt herself slowly drifting off to sleep. In the back of her mind she realized that she was in James Potter's arms, but at the moment, it felt like the most perfect place to be.
After 10 minutes, Lily did indeed drift off to sleep. James looked at the beauty in his arms. She was lovely. He became entangled in his own thoughts.
She was strong and she was smart. It was evident in her fight with Remus. Why did she hide herself so? Why didn't she allow anyone to see the side of herself that she had shown to James just by crying in his arms? He was going to discover the truth; he wasn't going to allow her to keep herself shut off like that.
He gazed down at her, and jolted, slightly surprised. Lily's hair was turning bright auburn and her eyes changing to a startling green. What was up?
********************
"I'm sorry my lord, James Potter and Sirius Black got in the way! She was supposed to be killed by the wolf!" a shaking Peter Pettigrew cowered by his master's feet. All had not gone as planned; Lily was still alive. His master wouldn't be happy, he was promised a mudblood killing, one that never took place. Voldemort however didn't fully acknowledge Peter, but stood with a closed expression on his face.
"Shut it would you? You filthy excuse for a follower. However, your blunder won't be punished. Did you notice anything special about the Evans girl?" Voldemort hissed loudly, startling the birds out of the trees nearby.
Peter looked scared and nodded no. "Idiot boy, she used magic without a wand. A 16 year-old-girl. With. Out. A. Wand. Only three people can do this in this world, myself included. But never at the age of 16. Wormtail, you must keep her from Dumbledor. We need her, she has great power." He paused for a moment, and a realization dawned on his face.
"And Wormtail, you wanted her dead. In the future you will be more careful, no? We do need powers such as hers. That was a big mistake, and I do not reward mistakes kindly…" he put the cracatius (Spelling?) curse on Peter who writhed for a couple moments before blacking out as the pain overtook him.
Voldemort sat in the silence and thought. She was a witch, a powerful witch. He needed her. He smiled to himself, and chuckled. If all went to plans, he would have her, and she would willingly be his. It was time to call on an old friend.
"Wormtail, get up. I need you to call on an old supporter of mine, Mr. Malfoy. He has a son at Hogwarts…I think I may have thought of a way to lure our darling Lily over to our side."
