Remembering the Past and Facing the Future
Disclaimer: I own people you don't recognize...and that's it...Maybe the plot.. but people have done things like this before....so um yeah...
Summary: Lily and James used to be best friends when they were little but then their families moved apart. 10 year later, at the age of 15, they may re-unite, but can things ever be like they used to??
A/N: I'm on a roll writing now and I've had tons of ideas for like ever...so I'm writing them!! But School starts tomorrow... :( so I won't be updating a lot...
Five year old Lily Evans ran around her backyard into the Potters backyard. Her red hair was swishing behind her and her green eyes were sparkling with laughter. Even being five years old, you could tell she would be beautiful.
Behind her, James Potter chased her. The two were best friends and were inseparable, even at such a young age. James had very untidy jet black hair and deep blue eyes. He also, wasn't bad looking. James quickly caught up to the young Lily.
"Tag! Your it!!" he said
Lily put her hands on her hips like her mother always did.
"No Fair Jamie!! You run to fast!"
"Nu-uh!! You run to slow Lele"
"Fine" she reached over and touched his should "Now your it"
"No Fair! You tricked me!"
"It is so fair!"
He narrowed his eyes at her and she did the same back. Then she tore off running and James behind her.
Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Potter stood looking out the Evans' kitchen window at the two kids. Their fathers were sitting at the table.
"Oh! It's just terrible that we have to take them apart! Lily will be devastated."
"Yes, and so will James. But we have to move to London to take care of my aunt"
"Yes, I know."
The Evans and the Potters were best friends. You couldn't tear them apart, and now, the Potters' were moving. But not to take care of family. For other reasons. They were witches and wizards. They were in hiding but now, they were moving back home. Unfortunately, they didn't want to go but they had to.
They had to lie, they couldn't say the truth. Mrs. Potter hated lying to her best friend but it had to be done. They thought about writing but they had all decided it would be to hard with them moving to another continent, away from America. Everything was done, now all that was left was telling the children.
The two young mothers looked out the window again. Now the two kids were laying on the ground talking. And pointing up at the sky. They both let out a sigh and called out the window for them to come it.
They marched happily into the kitchen, holding hands.
"What?? Why'd we have come in??" asked Lily
The two five-year-olds looked at each other. Something was wrong, and they knew it. They plopped down on the kitchen floor still holding hands.
"Uhhh.."
"Ummm"
"You see..."
"We have to..."
"Move"
The two children tilted their heads. They didn't understand.
"Huh?" asked James
"Ok, You see, the Potters have to move, James too"
"Where?"
"Away. Someplace far away."
"You mean..." started Lily
"We Have Leave?"
"Yes"
A tear rolled down Lily's cheek and one down James. They hugged each other and wouldn't let go.
"Come on James, we're going now"
"No!! I don't want to!!" Both children were crying now and holding on to each other.
A few hours later the two finally separated. The four adults figured this would happen and so, told them a few hours before having to go. The two gave each other one last hug.
"Bye bye Jamie"
"Bye Lele"
The Potters' walked out the front door and Lily ran to the window and waved as they drove down the road. James looked out the back window of the car and waved. The car quickly disappeared and Lily ran over to her mother and crawled on her lap and cried herself to sleep.
