1 Lily's Problem
1.1 Chapter 6
Next morning the list came out. Lily had done it into the team. Everyone congratulated her, and her friends still couldn't believe she flew so well.
Now, back to James
He really wanted to know if there was something between Remus and her, so he decided to ask Remus.
So, one night when he was alone in the common room with Remus he asked him.
"is there something going on between you and Lily?"
"huh?" he asked, not paying attention.
"do you have any........feelings for........for...Lily?" James asked again.
"why do you want to know?"
"I........I just wanted to know" he said and he started walking to his dorm.
"of course, i love her." James heart fell.
He turned round to face Remus.
"you d-do?" he asked, trying to keep his disappointment out of his voice but failing.
"not in the way you think." Remus said, understanding what was going on.
"I do love her, but just like a small sister. Not the way you do." Remus said.
"is it too obvious?" James asked, knowing he couldn't lie to Remus.
"no, I've known you for many years now, and you can't hide anything to me." He said. "I think that I am the only one who knows it, don't worry." Remus said, reading his friend's face.
"well, thanks" James said
the two boys went to their dorms.
The next week Lily, Sirius and James went to quidditch practice.
Robert Brown was the captain this year. He was a 6th year.
"this is the best team griffindor has ever had." He said. He was true.
Lily was really good and James......well, harry inherited his great talent.
Lily changed a lot more than before. Her figure had improved in many ways. She was taller, her legs were no longer skinny, but now two long amazing legs. Her curves had grown a lot more. But no one knew. She kept wearing her loose robs, her thick glasses, her braces and no make up.
Lily trained extremely hard, both with Brown and with Firenze. Brown insisted on training her extra hard because, as not many people had seen her fly, she would be their secret weapon.
And Freizen also gave her a lot of work because Voldemort was getting more powerful. Lots of students were left orphans. He murdered any amount of people. It was very frightening, no one knew if they would be able to return to their homes for the holidays. Many faces were constantly in tears. It was a difficult time.
And the marauders seem to feel that they had to cheer everyone up. So the worst it got, the more angry screams were heard from the Slytherings. They were the marauders' favourite target for pranks. They were the only ones who didn't seem to be affected by Voldemort.
Weeks went by. Lily couldn't believe how she could train for quidditch and Firenze and, on top of that, do her homework.
She was still top of her class.
Dumbledore knew that many students were having bad times, so he decided to cheer them up. One morning, at breakfast he announced.
" I have an important thing to tell you all" he said. Everyone stopped talking.
"the quidditch season will be starting sooner than planed..." brown went into hysterics... "and the other thing is that there will be a ball in three months. I think everyone needs a bit of cheering up, so I have decided to invite some others schools to come. Buxbeatons, Durmstrang, from north Europe and Cartumunus from south, Salems from north America and Rivadavia from south America." He waited to see their reactions.
Excited whispers erupted. Most of them had never heard of other wizarding schools. Everyone's face lit up.
'ha, my mind surprises me sometimes' Dumbledore thought seeing that he had achieved what he wanted.
" the schools will be coming a week before the ball and they will be leaving two days after it. Now please continue with your breakfast".
"cool, a ball!!! More schools!!!! Imagine all the possible pranks we could make?" sirius said with a dreamy expression on his face.
"wish he would think in other things apart from pranks.......things like asking me out........" whispered Dana to Lily and Kristin.
"I never heard of all those school before, just from Rivadavia, that was my old school." Kristin said.( her father had been transferred, remember?)
" I only heard of Cartumunus, it is Italian. I met some people from there while i was in Rome." Lily said.
"it is going to be one of those enormous events, I can't wait" Dana said excitedly.
James from the other end of the table saw Lily talking to her friends. He knew who he wanted to take to the ball. Now that he was sure that Remus didn't like her, he could ask her out again.
_*_*_*_*_
lily was reading one of those thick books she always did. She was sitting on her favourite armchair by the roaring fire. She thought she was the only there, but she wasn't.
James couldn't take his eyes out of her. Her hair shinning against the fire, her green eyes sparkling.....
It was 9:15 pm so it wasn't too late. He went over to were she was.
"hey" he said
"hi" she said, looking up from her book.
"I was thinking of going for a walk near the lake, want to come?" he asked her.
"huh sure." She said
it was dark outside. They started walking round the lake.
"lily, there is something you must know..." James began.
"yes?" she asked.
"well.......I.......I....I... like you, a lot." He said.
"so, do you want to be my girlfriend?"
what? No, she had just imagine it. But it seemed so real........but, did she really liked him? She had never asked herself that. But, her friends thought it would make her happier and well...they were her friends, they knew her.......she decided to follow their advice.
"yes" she answered.
Yes!!!!! James thought.
They started to return to the castle when the skies opened, revelling a beautiful full moon.
Full moon, which reminded both of Remus. They were so busy thinking about him that they didn't notice that the light of the moon showed an enormous figure walking towards them.
Too late they realised, a troll!!!!
Lily and James were paralysed with fear. The troll sized lily by her wrist and started carrying her to the forest. She screamed and kicked, James went bravely to him and tried to hit him with a spell. But he failed and the spell went directly back at him. He landed 10 feet away from where he had been standing.
Suddenly, out of the whipping willow, came out a werewolf.
"REMUS!!" they both cried. Then they looked at each other asking a silent question. (how does he/she knows?).
Our favourite werewolf came into action and bit the gigantic troll. It tear some flesh of it. The troll let out a howl, in pain. He let go of lily and returned to the forest.
Lily just stood there, not knowing if Remus was safe or not. Then he looked straight into her eyes. For a moment she thought he was going to kill her but the he just bowed, lowering his head and front legs.
The wind blew, whispering into lily's ears "The Magic....The Magic....."
She remembered Firenze telling her that Remus had already agreed to give his life for her, even if he didn't knew yet.
James lay there, not believing his eyes.
The werewolf turned and headed the whipping wilow.
