Chapter 6
James stared after Lily, he felt numb, he was dead inside. Lily hated him. The only person he had loved since the death of his parents despised him. To make things worse James had no idea what he had done to make her so angry with him. He replayed their last conversation over in his mind.
He sat down in the Gryffindor common room, staring blankly into the fire trying to come to terms with what had just happened. He stayed there for god knows how long.
"Hey James, where have you been? You missed Potions Professor Aqilina was really pissed." Sirius said.
James turned his blank eyes on his best friend. Sirius blanched at the look on James's face.
"What's happened?" Sirius asked quietly.
"She… she hates me." James answered in a flat voice. There was no need to ask who hated him; the only person that could have inspired such a reaction was Lily. "And I don't know why." Sirius sat down beside James.
"Is there anything I can do? Do you want me to talk to her for you?" James nodded mutely in consent.
Lily slumped against the wall, how could this be happening to her. Voldemorte was ruining her life. He was contaminating her relationship with James, trying to drive her insane. She pulled herself upright, tears streaming down her face. A couple of first years looked at her, the head girl, seemingly having a breakdown. They made moves as if approach her, to see what was wrong. She turned towards them and snarled:
"Don't come near me."
The first years backed up hurriedly, they had never seen the normally pleasant head girl act like this before. Lily watched their retreating backs. Not caring that she had scared a couple of helpless first years.
Lily looked up and down the corridor, debating what to do next. Should she tell someone, Dumbledore, if she really was Voldemorte's daughter? she could be a liability. No… she couldn't tell him, not anyone. They would hate her, force her to leave school. Then what would she do? She would not be welcome anywhere except for the one place she had absolutely no desire to be. Her father's arms.
A wave of nausea washed over her, she felt like she was going to be sick again. But it felt different somehow, her body moved as if of it's own accord. She walked slowly and steadily towards the side door of the school, unable to stop herself she felt a growing panic. What was happening to her? She stepped out of the side door and was moving towards the forbidden forest
Sirius came running back down to where James was still sitting by the fire.
"I couldn't find her." He said breathlessly, " I even asked Snape if he had seen her." James' lost his blank look and it was turned to one of worry. "I don't know how to find her. Unless we use The Map…
