Time that Passes Fast It's been three years to the day that I made a packed with Lily and I haven't heard from her since. I'm working for top security for the ministery tracking down a rising dark lord. I can go any where, do anything, and become anyone. I've become a shadow in the eyes of everybody even my friends. I don't want to be but this job calls for it, I watch over them thou even Lily. All I need to do is say her name and all the top intelligences agents will have every bite of info on her from her last doctor's appointment to last word she's spoken and I know it all. The dark lord had something for her I've saved her two times from his man. I wish I can tell her who I am she asked me the last time I saved her but I just turned and ran hiding behind my masked cloak. I sent Sirius, Remus and Peter to meet me at my father's house. I haven't been there since he died 2 and a half years ago. He was killed by the man I'm after now. I have a maid that keeps up with the house every month and a gardener who mows the lawn and takes care of my mother's flower garden. I can't wait to see it again to sleep in my own room. I have been ordered to take a month of work to rest my boss said if I didn't he would firer me. So I took this chance to get in touch with some friends. I pulled up to the house I abandoned so long ago. I turned the key in the door and took in the smell of my home as I walked in. Turning the light on I explored the house it was the same as I left it. I jumped onto my bed and twirled my self into my blankets. I stayed there for a while till I knock came at the door. I was like a little boy a Christmas I sprung to my feet and raced to the door with the biggest smile. My heart sunk as the face of my assistant looked at me with his head hung low. "He told me not to come" "Who and what happened?" my heart was racing just say it I pleaded. "The boss. Lily's been in an accident it just happened less then a minute ago the muggle police haven't even got to the car yet." "Stay here and when my friends come tell them where I've gone. Tell them to pick a room and stay the night I'll be back as soon as possible. Thank you" I said nodding "Where is she?" I asked. He told me the streets and I approcreatted there. Her car lay imbedded in a tree another car was turned over some feet down the street. I ran to the car seeing Lily and her sister in the back seat unconscious as good as I could I pulled them from the car trying not to move them. I couldn't bear to look at her parents they where gone. I ran to the other car seeing that the other guy was hardly even injured. People where gathering around me as I looked Lily and her sister over to assesses there injuries. Seeing Lily was critical. With a word from my wand ambulances and cop cars appeared. People ran over in uniform pushing me out of the way. I saw them cover her parents with a blanket. No this can't be happening, I didn't see that. All I do was watch till the ambulance left. I walk in to the dark forest of the side of the road and before I know it I was in the entrance hall way to my house. I heard talking and I walked into the living room to see the only three people in the world I wanted to see. "James" They said running over. "What happened?" asked Sirius. "I'm not sure. Her parents are dead and she doesn't look good, her sister looked ok. I don't know guys nothing ever goes right. I have to see her, would you mine going with me." "No we wouldn't mind" they said giving me a pat on the back. We want to the hospital by muggle car peter drove. "And who are you?" the lady at the desk asked Remus was the only one level head enough to answer "We are all the family they have left, where close cousins." "Give me a minute" she turned to walk away. "I'm not waiting I mumbled" waving my wand at her under my cloak I then asked "What room?" "Three floors up on your right room 245. Both the Evans are in there. Oh and here are your visiting passes sorry to delay you." "Thanks" I said rushing to catch the elevator at the end of the hall. I held my breath as we reached the door. My heart was in my throat, I was dizzy and scared. I didn't know what to expect. "James, we don't want to bombard her you go in and talk to her first." I gave Remus a quick nodded. I didn't know if he said that because they where scared to or because they know I should do this alone. I walk into the dark room, my hands starting to shack. A light glow was coming from a light a machine beside her. I walked softly till I tripped on something on the floor. Catching my balance before I fell. "How's there?" came a voice behind the other curtain. "A friend. Sorry to wake you just wanted to see how you where doing?" I rounded the corner to look into Petunia's face. "You're that weird boy. GO AWAY!" she yelled. "What?" I heard Lily's weak voice say. I went to go see her but her annoying sister spoke again "She hates you STAY AWAY" I was so mad I took my wand out and with in second she was sleeping she was so much better that way. "Lily" I said softly walking to her bed side. "James" she said with shock "What happened?" "I really don't know all I know is you where in a bad accident" "He saved me again" she said under her breath. "My head hurt" she went to sit up but she couldn't so she just laid there looking up at me. Should I tell her about her parents or should I leave it to the nurse. Then she asked the one thing I didn't want her to. "Where is every body?" "The guys are out in the hall way" panic started to set in. "No my sister and my parents are they ok" "Um." my hands where sweaty "Your sister is sleeping right there" I pointed to the curtain, then I stopped. "Where are my parents?" "I'll get the nurse" I slowly started to cross the room. "James, please tell me I don't want the nurse. James please there ok right there just badly hurt. Don't worry I can handle that" "No, Lily. They.There gone" I took a deep breath. "What no" she sat up as the words left her mouth. I saw the pain I her eyes. "No" she said shacking her head. I walked quickly to her side sit down next to her and opening my arms. "It hurts" she said before tears filled her eyes. "I know" I stroked hair "Try to sleep I'll be right back" I laid her down and her body tensed in pain. She looked at me with tear filled eyes then turned to her pillow and hugged it close. I walked into the hall. "Guy's I sorry to do this but I can't leave. It was a promise. You can stay at my house and when I come home." "We don't want to burden you" Sirius said. "No, I need you guy's. Please stay for a while, for the month." "We have jobs but." I cut Remus off "I have the power to get you a full paid vacation. Tell me how long a month a year it's yours." Remus spoke again "James, we'll talk about this later. We'll start by staying a few days." I nodded I wanted so much to spend time with them and hang. But Lily needed me and I needed her. I let my head hang low and I walked into the room. Lily didn't look up but I could tell she was crying. I stayed the night, convincing the nurse to let me stay with a little spell. Lily wasn't hurt as bad as I though but she did have some injuries curable by magic. If she wanted I would give her the potions. She lay still not moving all night I fell a sleep around eight in the morning not even knowing how I stayed up the whole night. I felt a hand brush against mine and I look up into the dry tear stained face of Lily. I gave her a fake smile to lighten the moment. Then a scream came from Petunia's bed. "THAT WEIRD BOY CURSED ME" she yelled at the nurse who had ran in the room. "HE TRIED TO KILL ME" my ears wanted to bleed she was yelling so loud. The nurse looked at me. "I don't know what she's talking about I just woke up. I think it's the shock." The nurse nodded and went to go calm her down and her scream soon turned to a sob. I felt bad; it couldn't get worse could it. The guys came to visit the next day and I got them to stay the week at my house. The nurse released Lily and her sister two days later. Lily told me she needed to be alone and that she would owl my. She did owl me and the guys to tell us the funeral would be held that Friday.
