All My life
*~* Cry *~*
"Ok girls, I will go up there first and apologize, you guys can later." Lily said.
"Ok, well we are gonna go study for the potions final. Good luck!" Ava answered Lily, hugging her goodbye.
Ok, I can do this! No problem, they are just BOYS! Lily thought. Why was she so nervous? What if they don't accept my apology? She reached out to knock on the boy's dorm room door. No answer. She knocked again. Again, no answer. I just saw them go in there! She banged on the door as Sirius opened it looking very sad and tired.
"Lemme in!" She said, half jokingly.
"No."
"Come on Sirius! I need to talk to all of you."
"No."
"Sirius! Let me in!" She started to get angry.
"NO." he said firmly. Lily tried to push her way in, but she's no match for Sirius.
"What is your problem? Let me in!"
"We don't need your shit today, Lily. Just leave us alone."
"Get out of my WAY, Black!" She said, pushing him as hard as she could and running into the room. She looked to see Remus solemnly lying on his bed looking up, but James was nowhere to be found. Just as she wondered where he was, he appeared in the doorway. He looked horrible. His hair was messier than usual, and he looked tired, his clothes were very wrinkled too. Lily then gasped and noticed there were tears in his eyes.
"Where were you?" She asked, sounding harsher than she had meant to.
"Nowhere."
"Don't lie, where were you?"
"Is it really any of your concern Miss Lily?" He said icily.
"Look James, I don't want any of your bullshit today, because I just came here to apologize for how I have acted this year, but your making it hard for me!"
"Oh I'm SORRY Lily. I AM MAKING IT HARD FOR YOU!???" he yelled, "I'm making it hard in your PERFECT little life. Well EXCUSE ME!" He spat at her.
"What was that for? What is your problem?"
"Get out." He said looking at her directly in the eye.
"No."
"Leave."
"NO!"
"Lily, get out now!" As she shook her head he picked her up, walked out of the room, and set her down.
"God, James! What is your PROBLEM?" She yelled in his face.
"Just leave me alone Lily."
"Why?" She said icily.
"BECAUSE!" he screamed with tear streaming down his face
"Because I don't need this today Lily, NOT TODAY!" he said through tears while turning into the dorm and slamming the door.
Lily walked downstairs and sat in a chair in the common room. She was so frustrated with James! What was his problem? Just then, Sirius lumbered down the stairs. Lily ran up to him and started yelling at him and asking questions, but he just kept walking. Then she struck a nerve.
"What the hell is James' problem? Seriously! I just wanna kill him!" She said finally, giving up.
"What is YOUR problem!" He then cornered her and yelled, "Take back what you said Lily Evans. TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW!"
"What?"
"Don't ever say that. DON"T EVER JOKE ABOUT JAMES DYING. OR YOU KILLING HIM! Because if you so much as lay a FINGER on him, I will kill you." He said honestly, before turning around and walking away.
"Oh my God! What is wrong with you guys?" She said, throwing up her hands.
He turned and walked towards her, until he was 2 inches from her face, and looking directly at her, he said, "Read the paper you ignorant little bitch."
Instead of getting mad at him for yelling at her, she ran to get a paper.
"Oh my lord," she breathed as she read the headline, while dropping to her knees and sobbing uncontrollably.
Voldemort Murders Minister Potter and Family
She cried for what seems like hours, when someone tapped her on the shoulder, and she whipped around to see James standing there.
"James!" she cried as she grabbed him and pulled him to her. She buried her face in his chest and cried for a few minutes.
"I'm so sorry for being mad at you! I'm sorry for yelling and everything! I'm so sorry! I never meant to say I wanted to, to kill you! I didn't hate you! I'm so sorry! I…" she cried harder and harder until the tears wouldn't come any longer.
"Its of Lily. I will be fine." He said untruthfully, and cried even harder than Lily did. After all he was only 12.
"Oh James! I'm so sorry! It will be ok though! I'm here for you!" She said, leading him to a couch and sitting down. She took his hand and held it, and leaned her head on his shoulder. They just sat silently for a little while.
"Why did he kill them? Was there a reason, or was he just killing people off." She asked quietly.
"There's a reason." He said quietly, staring off into space.
"What is it?"
"I, I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"Because. It could put you in danger. I don't want that."
"Please tell me James, I really want to know, so maybe I can help you." She said honestly.
"They killed them to get to me. Voldemort wants me on his side, either that or dead."
"Why?"
"Because he needs me on his side or dead, because I am the Valeo Veneficium. I could kill him and he knows that."
"What is the 'Valeo Veneficium' I haven't heard of it before."
"The 'Powerful Sorcerer.' I'm only the second one in recorded history. It's the most powerful wizard there is. Curses don't work on him, he can do magic without a wand, and he cannot die. Only one person can kill him. One person in the whole world, because they share a gene."
"Who is your one person?"
"Voldemort."
"Oh my God, James." She said, staring at him, so scared, "but that's ok, right? As long as he doesn't know he's your person. Your fine. He doesn't know, right?"
"Wrong."
"How does he know?!" She began to get angry, James couldn't be murdered!
"I don't know how he found out! I mean, only my mom and dad knew! Well, Dumbledore and Sirius and Remus too. But now, everyone knows! It was in the paper! Oh Lord! Lily! I don't want to die!" He said shakily, but not crying.
"Its ok James, I will never let anything happen to you, ever." She assured him, and some how, he believed her.
The rest of the night they just stayed up talking about their lives, and their futures. They found out they had a lot in common, and they became best friends that night.
Over the next week, all of the friends (yes they are friends again) got their final results back, all of them passed with flying colors. Lily and James talked every night and were really best friends. The next day though, they had to go back into the world, for summer.
