Chapter 7
James dug it out at the bottom of his trunk. He had been voted keeper of the map. Along with that and hesitantly he pulled out the invisibility cloak. "I'll go alone," he said turning to his friend. Who for once in his life looked (like his name) serious. "Unless you want to come with me?"
Sirius thought then shook his head, so James took out his wand, tapped it and said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to know good." And then appeared the sacred map. James tried to find Lily, when he did; he saw that she was heading for the…Forbidden Forest.
Lily tried to resist the force that was pulling at her but she couldn't it was just too strong. She didn't want to go in the forest; there were…things in there, and at this specific moment she couldn't really recall her Defence Against The Dark Arts lessons. That was Remus' talent.
Getting deeper and deeper into the forest, it was beginning to get dark, and birds wanted to roost when, suddenly she stopped, and was rooted to the ground. "Just when I want to move" she muttered darkly to her self, trying to unstick her feet. Then she heard it. A voice, a high-pitched voice. "Welcome Lily" Voldemort said, appearing round a tree.
Lily's head darted up, there he was, looking hideous, tall with horrible pale skin, like bone, slits for a nose. It was her father.
Inside Lily whimpered, but on the outside she stood proud and tall. "Hello." She said.
"As you can see, I've undergone a few changes since you saw of me last."
"What did you do to James?" she asked, cutting with the crap.
Voldemort sighed. "Nothing much, just made it so he went a bit strange. Didn't even feel a thing. But it worked, didn't it?"
"What d'you mean?" she spat.
"Ended yours and Potter's little relationship. It couldn't continue, it'll end badly. You see I can see these things." Lily looked at him aghast, but he continued. "Potter will never want to speak to you again, so you can be where belong, in Slytherin."
Lily shot daggers at her father. "Now" he continued, "this is what I want you to do. Forget about James Potter, he was up to no good anyhow… what about the werewolf? He could be handy, but I'd prefer if it was someone in Slytherin. Severus Snape for example?"
"Why should I do what you tell me?" Lily exploded, looking braver than she felt. Voldemort looked shocked.
"You will do what I tell you young Lady because I am your father!"
Lily swallowed. Hearing it from him, like that, suddenly made it so much more real. She was the daughter of a monster. She was a monster. "I know. I even accept that now. You raped my mother. You fathered me…you fathered a daughter, and you did it on purpose, then you abandoned me!" Lily told him. "You let me see how I was brought about, and then you expect me to do what you say? I hate you. I will never submit to you and your ways. I may be the Slytherin heir but I'm not going to fulfil it…Father.
"I love James, and I'm not going to let you spoil it!"
Voldemort smiled evilly. "We shall see daughter, we shall see." And with that he disappeared with a wisp of smoke.
And a mere few meters away James Potter stood in complete shock under his invisibility cloak, as Lily collapsed to the ground.
