Lily's Problem
Chapter 15
Disclaimer: nope, not mine! Everything you recognise is Rowling's except for this humble plot so don't sue!.
A/N: seven reviews! I feel special, heh (. Thank you all! And yep, it helps a lot. So, you know the trick, R/R!!!!.
By the next day, everyone at Hogwarts knew that Lily and James were an item.
Many girls were disappointed but no one cared. Dana and Kristin had asked Lily a detailed account of what had happened.
Lily decided to tell James one night about her being 'the chosen one'. At first he thought it was a joke, but when he asked her to prove it and she started flying around the place he believed her.
She also told him about the mermaids, about the special place and about Firenze.
'This explains a lot.' He thought. Lily decided to take him to the place and they had a wonderful time there. Firenze decided to give Lily a brake and so she spent the whole two hours alone with James (the centaur had gone to a far end if it.)
Months flew by, Lily visited the mermaids daily and now they were like brothers and sisters to her. But she never forgot her other friends: the Marauders and Dana and Kristin.
She had mastered most of her special powers and discovered new ones Remus went to most of her training sessions. But James never failed to be there, not even once. . Life was just perfect.
But we all know these things don't last forever.
It was summer holidays. Lily had been all day out of her house, at Kristin's. When she came back a horrible scene met her eyes. The dark mark was above her house, well, what was left of it. Lily knew immediately what had happened. A couple of Death Eaters were still there, painting threatening messages on her fence.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" Lily's voice boomed. She knew this was not what she had to do, she knew she had to run as fast as possible to get away from there but she was so angry she was out of herself.
The death eaters turned and smirked. "Why, look who has arrived." One of them said.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM?!" she asked them.
" Oh... how sweet, look she has tears in her eyes, crying for some useless muggels." The other death eater said laughing a cold and cruel laugh.
Lily reached for her wand. She knew she was not supposed to do magic outside Hogwarts, but she always kept it with her for protection. She didn't care if she would be expelled from school, she wanted revenge and she could definitely get it.
She pointed her wand at them. They stared laughing even harder, their Lord had just told them to kill some muggels, he never said that they were the family of the Chosen One, so they didn't fear this girl.
"What are you going to do to us? Tickle us to death? Oh, we are so afraid! I am paralysed!" one of them said in mock fright.
Lily spoke again, but this time her voice was deadly calm and it echoed magically all over the place. " You should be afraid." She started floating and raised about three feats from the ground.
The two death eaters were so shocked to see this that they couldn't even move.
Going near them she spoke again " Tell me what have you made to them, now!". She said in the same deadly voice.
Because they wouldn't give in, she decided to force them to. She made a death eater's arm turn into a painful angle. He let out a shout of pain.
Suddenly some 'popps' where heard and this distracted Lily. The death eaters disapparated quickly. The sounds had come from a group of aurors.
They immediately rushed to her, to see if she was ok. She then told them what had happened and the veteran wizards showed this nearly fourteen year old girl, more respect, acknowledging her superior powers.
They took her to the Ministry's H.Q. there she met Firenze (in human form). Everything she had been through that day came suddenly to her and it finally hit her that she had no more family because of this cruel, evil, man. She started crying hard.
"There, there, Lily, no need to cry." Firenze said.
"No need to cry?! My family is dead! How can there be no need to cry?!"
"No, they aren't dead, Lily." Firenze said.
"They're not? How?"
"Well, one of our spies told me what they were going to do to your family. I went directly to your house with my uncles. We told your family about it. We got out of the house only seconds before the death eaters came.
Voldemort is still looking for your family so we decided they should go into hiding. Your sister, who is in age, will live alone at an apartment we gave her, it is magically protected and you are free to go to visit her whenever you want to. But your parents, well Voldemort was really after them, not your sister, so they are going into hiding at a place were I can't tell you, but I promise you they are safe and happy. You can't go to visit them, not until we think the danger has passed."
Lily was very happy and relieved that they were all alive, but at the same time she was sad because she wouldn't be able to see them soon.
"Will I be able to write to them?" she asked hopefully.
"Of course Lily," He answered.
"And.... where am I going to live?" Lily asked.
"Well, you still have your room at our place. You can live there. We can make doors that have direct access to your friend's houses and to the meramids'. So, what do you say?" He asked her.
"You mean it? I would love to go to live at your house. Its beautiful!
"And you could have more special lessons, like summer school. You know, we, centaurs, have an ability to read the skies, you could learn to do it with the help of my uncles, they are the best sky readers of the century. And you could learn other stuff too, if you want" He told her.
"That would be great, thanks!"
