A/N I'm really sorry for not updating! I just experienced a horrible
writer's block that blocked up this story completely. Sorry.
I edited chapters 1-7 mostly grammar mistakes and stuff. I'm a hopeless
case in grammar.
Sometimes Bad Leads To Good
Chapter Eight: She Finds Out
The Hogesmead trip went completely uneventfully for the gang.
James tried very hard to forget about everything and almost succeeded when he and Sirius entered Zonko's but a green-eyed redhead, who just crossed Zonko's with the scum formally known as Amos Diggory, ruined it.
After they came back everybody went up to sleep.
Everybody with the exception of James and Lily.
"He's really sweet to me." Lily started telling James about Amos.
"Really?" James found it hard to believe.
"Yeah, I never thought someone will ask me to the ball!"
James felt a pang in his heart.
"And him of all people! Just what I wished for!"
Another pang.
"I'm so happy I have both of you and Lana."
Another one.
"James?" Lily noticed James was dozing off a bit.
"What?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, yes, I'm fine."
"Sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Sorry I was rambling like that."
"That's okay."
"So, what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Who are you taking to the ball, silly?"
This question took James by surprise.
Who was he going to take to the ball?
"Er, I don't know. I don't think I'll go anyway."
He had no will looking at her and Diggory dancing the whole night.
"You have to come! It's gonna be so fun! I'll save you a dance or two."
Maybe he'll just come for a few minutes.
"I'll think about it."
"Well, good night."
She hugged him and went upstairs.
He watched her disappear and sighed.
Why did he have to fall for Lily Evans???
Peter took a deep breath. (A/N It's the day afterwards if you're wandering.)
He made his way to where Lily and Lana were doing their Divination homework.
"Lana? Can I have a word with you?"
Lana smiled.
"Sure. I'll be back in a sec." She told Lily.
They both went to a corner.
Peter tried to open his mouth and say something.
He couldn't.
"Peter?" Lana asked looking at him funnily.
Peter whispered something so quietly she couldn't hear.
"What?"
"Will you, er, go with me to the ball?"
Lana was taken aback.
That was the last thing she expected from him.
"Cause I just thought that it... would be nice... if you..."
Lana bit her lip.
"I'm sorry, I- I can't." What was she supposed to say?
Peter's face fell.
"I understand."
"I'm really sorry."
"That's okay." He waved his hand carelessly. "It doesn't matter."
"Peter-"
She started but he already made his way up.
Merlin, why did everything have to be so fucked up?
Why?
Why did Peter have to ask *her*?
Why???
Lana sighed and made her way back to Lily and the Divination homework.
"Let's go somewhere." Lily told James.
"Where?"
"I don't know, you're supposed to be the Marauder who knows all the castle's secrets."
"Alright, come." He pulled her hand and they walked out of the common room.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
"Wait! It's getting quite close to the curfew, we have to go back!"
"Oh, come on Lily! Relax, no one's going to catch us."
"But-"
"Lily!"
"Okay, okay."
They walked silently for about 10 minutes.
James stopped for a second to make sure he knew where they were going.
Lily looked at the figure of the stone Gargoyle in front of her.
Suddenly it seemed to come to life.
James, who noted this, quickly grabbed Lily and jumped behind another statue.
Before Lily could do or say anything he put his finger on his lips.
Just then Professor Dumbeldore and a man they both recognized as the Minister of Magic stepped out from a hole behind the Gargoyle.
James suddenly noted how close he and Lily were.
*Don't even think about it Potter!* He scolded himself.
"She wouldn't be able to deal with the truth Dumbledore!" They heard the Minister say.
"I think Ms. Evans is quite capable to hear the truth."
Lily and James both perked up with the mention of Lily.
*They're talking about me? Why? What truth?*
"She's only 15!"
"And exceptionally smart for her age."
Lily didn't understand a thing.
"I am not going to tell her!"
"Lily can handle it."
"I don't think a child could deal with the fact that after doing an after death investigation it turns out that He Who Must Not Be Named tortured his parents for information about him and when they refused killed them!!!"
Lily's heart froze.
James watched as all the color drained out of Lily's face.
Dumbledore and the Minister were now to far away to be seen or heard.
"Lily?" He asked cautiously.
She didn't answer.
"Lily?" He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Let go of me!!!" She screamed and ran away.
"Lily!" He started running after her.
"Leave me alone!"
She couldn't believe it.
She was a murderer!
