Yuiyui- thanks you all so much for reviewing. In response to all you reviews, James and Lily will not yet be friends. Lily will get a makeover, not for herself but for her mother.
The Best Was Yet To Come
Just a small town girl in the city lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung
Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come
I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were here and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun....
You turn around it's gone
Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped away
Oh - how was she to know
Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

When the large gleaming train pulled into the station Lily said goodbye to Ethel and Severus. She met her father and they rode silently toward the house.
The ride home was quiet. The tension that loomed in the car was thick enough to cut with a knife.
Lily sat there the whole time wringing her hands while trying to find something to say to her father. The only thing uttered during the whole trip was a mere hello and a stiff hug.
By just looking into her father's eyes Lily could feel the pain he was so obviously trying to conceal from her. If you looked into his eyes you could see sadness, It was as evident in his facial expressions as it was in his bodily movements. Lily could tell by the way he held his knuckles tightly around the wheel or the way his lips pursed ever so tightly.
She could tell all was not well in the Evans household .She would soon find out for herself.
Lily and her father had arrived at their house , the sky was a dull grey while clouds were starting to form in the horizon , dark clouds .
Lily opened the door and entered .
She felt as if she was a stranger in her own house . The once flowery curtains that had been opened were now closed . The rooms were dark .
Lily her a soft whimpering noise from up the stairs coming from Petunia's room.
"Pet , it's me Lily can I come in ."
"Oh Lily ."Cried Petunia as she flung open the door and threw her arms around Lily.
Lily guided the crying Petunia over to her bed and set her down gently.
"What is it 'Tunia ." Asked Lily while stroking her sisters hair.
" It's mum over the past few months she's just been getting worse and worse ,"
" It's been so hard, I feel so ashamed of myself because I cant do anything for her, I cant feed her, because she'll choke, I cant even give her a cup of water ."Sobbed Petunia
Lily had been fiddling with a piece of string on the bed she looked up and met her sister's teary gaze.
She hugged Petunia even harder and stared at a tiny spot on the wall. She started speaking in a toneless voice
"Okay Pet, now is not the time for crying, Mum is still alive she needs us, now I'm going to see her ."
The sight of Petunia sitting on the floor made Lily's heart break; they were sisters after all.
Lily went down the hall towards her mother's room and slowly turned the handle.
She walked in.
The room was dark, lit only by one small candle. There were machines scattered around the room, with tubes and needles lying about. The only movement was the rise and fall of Mrs. Evans chest.
Her mother looked so peaceful sleeping. Lily sat down in a chair and waited until her mother awoke.
The beautiful slop of Mrs Evans neck, where Lily had cried on occasion was now sharply jutting out. Lily noticed she had lost weight and her skin had lost some of its ethereal glow.
Lily fell asleep in her little chair just looking and waiting.
"Lily ."Said a tiny voice.
"Mother."
Lily rushed over to her mother's bedside and took her small fragile hand in her warm one.
Her mother looked up at her with tired eyes.
"How was school?"
Her mother said with a smile on her face
Those three words were all it took to make Lily weep. She sunk her face into her mother's blanket while a small hand massaged her scalp and hair.
" Lily no more tears."
Lily couldn't help it. Her last tear fell down her face. Her emotions let go Lily felt a blue light escape from her eyes. The light started out as a pale blue, which looked straight into Mrs. Evans eyes. The light got stronger and Lily's gaze was torn away from her mothers.
"Lily stops."
Lily stopped abruptly. The light disappeared and Lily once again sat on the floor with a dazed expression on her face.
"Lily .... Lily ."
Lily looked up into her mothers loving stare.
"For once in your life you listened to me ."
"Mum I don't want you to go ."
"Not yet ."Lily added in a small voice
"I know Lily, I don't want to go either, but he who makes the choice for me to go has already done his deal. My fate is sealed, but not yours. ,"
Lily tried to interrupt but her mother silenced her.
" Your fate, I feel it in my bones will be fabulous, please do all you can to live up to your full potential, " said her mother softly "
" Is my little beautiful angel on earth and I'll be yours in Heaven."
"Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself, for you are Lily, my Lily and your wonderful.
"Promise me Lily, Make me proud ."
"I will mum I promise ."
as one of her mothers hands cradled her face. Lily cried a tear, A tear that dripped to the floor and instantly became a cold sparkling diamond.
Lily quietly slipped from the room and went into her room where she spent a night tossing and turning be my little beautiful angel on earth and I'll be yours in Heaven. My beautiful angel. Beautiful.
With that last word Lily and Mrs. Evans both fell into a deep slumber, but for Mrs. Evans it would be an eternal sleep.
