Chapter 1: Just good friends
Lily Evans came down the stairs from her bedroom and sighed, she hadn't done her Divination homework and knew that she would have to ask James for help. He always did, she knew that she could always count on him but she couldn't stand to be near him. Lily didn't hate him that was the reason she couldn't stay near him, she had always loved James, since her 1st year there and now it was her 3rd but he had made it perfectly clear that he didn't want anything but friendship from her.
Lily took out her book and walked over to James.
"Hey James, could you help me wit my Divination homework please? I forgot to do it again" Lily gave James a tragic look and then smiled.
"Sure Lily" James tapped the sofa he was sitting on and said "sit!"
"I really should remember to do this, I never used to be like this" Lily said while sitting next to him on the couch.
"Don't worry bout it, you're still the cleverest girl at Hogwarts" James said while grinning mischievously at her.
James looked into her eyes and his heart skipped a beat. He loved Lily's eyes, he had never seen any as beautiful as her bright happy emerald green. Her hair was so red and he knew that it wasn't that muggle dye thing they use because Lily wouldn't stand to have her hair a different colour. James had loved Lily since they had first laid eyes on each other, on Platform 9¾ just before they boarded the train that would take them to Hogwarts to start their 1st year there. The only person who knew about it was Sirius (of course he knew, he didn't miss a beat)! He couldn't tell her coz she would probably just laugh at him.
"James, James!! Hello. are you still there?" Lily was waving her hand in front of his face. James blinked, shook his head and came out of his daydream.
"Sorry Lils, what did you ask?" asked James, distracted now.
"Focus James," said Lily laughing "how do we tell what the planets mean by where they are in the orbit at this precise moment?"
"Oh, well you look in 'Unfogging the Future' then go to astronomy it should help you on the, do you just want me to give you the answers?" he longed to put his arm around her.
"No James!! I have to do this on my own!" Said Lily, raising her voice slightly.
"Okay, Okay, keep your wig on" Said James as he stood up.
"Where are you going!?" Cried Lily her heart doing a funny flip flop, one because she needed his help and two because she didn't want him to leave.
"you know how I love to sit here" I really do he thought "and help you work Lily but I need food, I'll be back in a bit"
It was then that Ookm Lily's owl flew through the window and delivered her letter, as she read it she started crying. It went like this:
Dear Miss L. Evans, We are very sorry to inform you of the recent passing of Mr George Evans and Mrs Rose Evans. We feel that you have the right to know that Voldemort walked into their home late yesterday night and killed them. I assure you that it was quick and painless. I also have the painful task in telling you that you sister Petunia, with her being the oldest and now legal guardian of you has decided that she is having you emancipated which in all means that she has divorced you from the family. I know it comes as a shock but she does not want to deal with you anymore (in her words) and expects you to find somewhere else to live during the summer. She is getting married to one Vernon Dursley. My deepest regrets to what has happened, I hope you have a good life.
Corby Fudge Minister of Magic
Lily dropped the letter muttered Incarnum Inflamaray and the letter burst into flames. Then she put her head in her hands and wept. Her parents were gone and her sister disowned her, this meant that she wasn't even welcome at the funeral.
Jenna came down the stairs, saw her best friend crying and without thinking to ask what was wrong said.
"Don't tell me, you finally came to the 21st Century and asked James out but he sad no and now your life is ruined forever and you will never find a true love again!" but then Jenna looked closely at Lily and saw that the joke wasn't on.
"Lily what's up? Is it really that bad?" asked Jenna, her voice full of concern now.
Lily waved her wand once and the ghost of the letter showed itself and Jenna read it. Then she broke down again and couldn't stop.
"Oh my god Lily, I am so sorry. Don't worry about it. You do know that you can come and live with me, Josie and my parents (Jenna and Josie are identical twins). Jenna then hugged Lily and said.
"Come on, let's go up to the bedroom and try to cheer you up. James will be back any minute now and I am sure you want to tell him without the tears."
Lily got up and followed Jenna, she wasn't sure that she wanted to tell James, she loved him and she didn't want his pity. She would just feel like a sad case. There was only one thing left for her to do now. She had nothing to loose and nothing to gain.
When Lily got into her bedroom she searched her trunk and pulled out a long silver (sharp) letter opener and fingered it. She put it inside her robe pocket and pretended to go to sleep, when Lily was sure the other four girls were asleep, she grabbed the letter opener, wrote a letter the Jenna and Josie and walked out of Gryffindor House, she intended to see the stars before she did what she had to.
