Disclaimer: I own no one u recognize!!!! ~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~
James knocked on the door. No one answered so he walked in knowing that Lily was in there. He heard her crying so he walked over to her and gave her a hug. He felt so bad. As he rocked her an owl flew in and it read:
Dear Lily, Thank you for killing mum and Dad! I HATE YOU! Don't except to come live with me during the summer. I'll NEVER forgive you for killing them. I knew that you were a FREAK! We are from now on no longer sisters! Petty
Lily started to sob on James.
"What is it Lilz. You can tell me" James said
She handed him the letter and he read it.
"Oh Lils don't cry. I'm sure she doesn't mean it. She'll let you come home for the summer."
"No you don't understand she already hated me."
James just hugged her. Once she fell asleep James laid her down and tucked her in. Then he left.
Everyone was waiting for him. He told them about the letter.
Bella said "She told me about Petunia."
They all started talking and feeling bad for Lily.
Weeks have passed and Lily out on a fake smile. Everyone believed it but James. He saw right through it. A few weeks later she got another letter from Petunia. It read
Dear Lily, You can stay with me and my boyfriend Vernon Dursley. I still hate you but you can stay with me.
Petunia
'That's good cause i really don't want to stay on the streets.' she thought. 'I'll have a crappy summer though' Her smile faded
"Whats wrong" James asked
"Nothing" she said cheerfully then smiled "Nothing at all."
Just then Dumbledore stood up and said, "I am very pleased to say that there is a transfer student that just arrived and was sorted into Gryffindor. Her name is Ruby Randell She is a transfer from Paris's School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. She will be in the 5th year. "There were claps" She walked over to the Gryffindor table. Lily called "Come over here" and she waved to her. The girl walked towards her
"Sit down" Lily said, "I'm Lily Evans. That Arabella Figg but we call her Bella, that James Potter, that's Sirius Black, that's Remus Lupin, and that's Peter Pettigrew.
She said hi to everyone and shook their hands. Once it came to Remus he was very shy unlike Sirius who kissed her hand earning him a deadly look from Bella. She just figured he was a shy kid. They all really liked Ruby.
Lily showed Ruby to there room. Ruby wasn't the prettiest girl but she wasn't ugly either so Lily said "Can i do a make over on you?"
"Ummmm i guess," she replied.
Lily washed her hair and then straightened it and put in some stuff to make her hair not frizzy. She put on brown eye shadow and black eye liner. Then she put powder on her face to make everything blend. Then she pulled out a blue dress to match her eyes Her brown hair was pulled half up and half down with diamonds in it. She looked GREAT!
Lily said, "OOOO lets go down stairs and show everyone the new Ruby!"
"Okay okay lets go." They walked down stairs and then everyone's jaw's dropped (well the guys anyway).
Remus just stared. Ruby just stared at him until Lily pushed her. Lily whispered "You like him don't you?"
"So what if I do" she grinned.
"Well I think he likes your too." Lily said. **************************************************************************** ** ***
Meanwhile James, who was sitting next to Remus said "So, you like Ruby."
"What made you think that?" Remus said defensively
"Well you were very shy when you first met her and then when she walked down with the makeover Lily did you just stared open mouthed."
"Is it the obvoius?" he asked
"To your best friend yes but i doubt anyone else knows except for me and Lily." James answered.
"How does she no?"
"Well cause she is smart and she knows you well."
"How do you no she knows?"
"Cause I saw her look at you then Ruby then grin."
"Oh, well, do you think she likes me?"
"Yes, it looks that way to me."
They were interrupted because Lily said, "James can I please talk to you alone?"
"Sure," he said then they walked out of the common room.
"Well I know that we both know the Ruby and Remus like each other so I think we should play match maker."
"Well don't you think we should let them hook up on their own?"
"Well if it were me I would want someone's help that's for sure" She said "I got it, being we are prefects we can suggest a ball. An Easter Ball!"
"That would be great but that's so far away why not a Christmas ball?"
"Well because Christmas is to close"
"True very true" he said
"Plus I'm going home for Christmas cause of my parents and all I want to be with the only family I have left. Petunia."
"Oh yea about that I'm really sorry about that."
"Its okay". She replied
"Why did you give Ruby a makeover anyway?" James asked trying to change the subject.
"Well, cause I was bored and I know how hard it is being the new student."
"Oh" he replied
*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*( *(*(*(*(*(
The weeks past by and everyone knew that Remus and Ruby were perfect for eachother but them. Finally Christmas break came and Lily hopped onto the Hogwarts Express sitting with James because he was the only other person going home for the holidays. He decided he should go home to his parents.
They arrived at King's Cross.
James said, "If you and your sister get into a fight or something you are welcomed at my house. My parents got out of the hospital. Just owl me."
"Sure" she said. He could hear the sadness in her voice. He gave her a nice comforting hug.
"Bye James"
"Bye Lils"
Lily saw Petunia waiting by a car. She walked over there, put her stuff into the trunk and got into the car.
It was a silent ride home. Once they got home she went up to her room forgetting about her trunk.
"LILY YOU GET YOUR TRUNK OUT OF THE CAR NOW!" Petunia yelled.
Lily walked down stairs when Petunia shoved her out the door to get it. Once she got it and put it into her room Petunia yelled "YOU BETTER MAKE DINNER."
Lily walked down stairs and said "No, if you want dinner you make it I'm not hungry"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Petunia yelled.
Petunia walked over to Lily and smacked her across the face then kicked her (she fights girly lol) She got only one good kick in the head. Lily started to bleed. She ran to the kitchen and made dinner. Then she washed the dishes and went upstairs.
They next morning Petunia wen to Lily's bed and said "wake up now! I was being nice because it was your first day back" then she yelled "YOU KILLED MOM AND DAD!" Petunia punched Lily right in the face. Petunia started hitting, kicking and slapped Lily. Finally when she was tired she walked out of the room leaving Lily bruised and with blood all over her.
It kept happening when the day before Christmas Eve she went to far. Petunia's boyfriend started to beat he up then he punched her really hard she couldn't do anything. She felt so much pain. Then he left because he was hungry. She had to write to James.
Dear James, Can I please stay at your house for the rest of the vacation? I'll explain once I see you but you need to get me out of here. Please????
Love, Lily
She sent it off and surprisingly she got a letter back in just 2 hours.
Dear Lils,
Its okay I'll pick you up at 7:00. Are you okay. Well i hope so. See you soon!
Love, James
That was in a half-hour so she showered and got dressed. You could see her face was all bruised and had lots of cuts. She saw a muggle car outside so she got her trunk and left (Petunia and Vernon were out)
She ran to the car where he saw James and an older man standing outside of it.
"OMG Lils what happened?"
"My sister and her boyfriend. They hit me" whispered Lily
"Hello Mr. Potter" she said brightly.
"Are you okay Lily?" Mr. Potter asked.
"I'm fine."
James gave Lily a big hug.
"I didn't have time to put makeup over everything, but don't worry I will when we get to your house."
"No you don't have to."
" I didn't want to bother you but once my sisters boyfriend gave me a hit in the face I couldn't do it. I couldn't move for like a half an hour."
"No Lils its no trouble. Really?"
They got into the car but Lily was worried about one thing. The summer.
"Whats wrong?" James asked seeing her worried face
"I was just thinking. I'm never going to survive the summer vacation. Petunia and her boyfriend will really try and kill me. I'm not kidding"
"You won't go there you will go straight to our house. I'll write a note to Profesor Dumbledor." Mr. Potter said.
"Thank you so much but are you sure you don't mind?"
"No came on Lils you are a sweet girl that everyone loves." James said.
"Yea everyone but my sister," she mumbled
"What?" James asked.
"Nothing," she replied.
When they arrived at the Potter house she gasped. It was beautiful. It was a mansion. They walked in when Mrs. Potter welcomed her.
"Hello Lily dear." she said "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Nothing mum," James said for her.
"James dear, please show her where she'll be staying."
James led her up the stairs and to a big room. It was powder blue walls with blue carpet. It had stuffed animals on the bed. It was amazing. She settled down and went to sleep.
**************************************************************************** **
The next morning Lilly was reading a book because she woke up really early. It was a really big book on charms. It dropped by accident making a huge thud. James knocked on the door and said, "Are you okay? What happened?"
"I'm fine I just dropped a book."
"Okay well Just to let you know its 90 degrees out so you should wear shorts."
"Its winter how can it be that hot?" "I dunno it just is."
"Alright." she said then took a shower and got dressed in a tank top and shorts. She looked bad. She looked worse than bad. She looked awful. You could see bruises, scratches, and marks up and down her arms and legs. She put make up on her face once again.
"Are you almost ready Lils?" James called from outside the door.
"I am but I can't go out like this. Come in and look. I look awful.
James walked in and saw her. "Omg Lils I didn't think it was this bad. Well I'm sure no one will mind."
"Yea right! I guess I'll change into pants and a long sleeve shirt. I'll be right back."
She ran and got a shirt and pants from a draw and went into the bathroom to change.
James felt so bad for her. 'She doesn't deserve this. She walks around with a huge smile on her face every day even now when she is in pain. Such a nice girl doesn't deserve this much pain.'
Lily came out in a dark green shirt and black pants.
"How do I look" she said in a French accent.
"Beautiful my darling." he said also in a French accent.
Lily giggled.
James grinned at her.
James put out his arm and said "shall we?"
"Yes we shall" she replied
They walked down to breakfast. It smelled great! Lily took a seat next to James.
"Why so bundled up dear? Its hot out." Mrs. Potter asked Lily.
"Um well you see its er just that er I um I didn't er pack any. Yea I didn't pack any."
She glanced at James for some help. He shrugged. He saw that she was uncomfortable.
"Well dear, if you want I can charm your outfit into a tank top and shorts if you would like"
"No thank you Mrs. Potter I'm just fine." James grinned at the whole conversation.
"Oh there is a ball today and tomorrow so you to should go shopping.
"Okay we will go after breakfast Mrs. Potter."
"Call me Marie dear." Mrs. Potter said.
"Okay." Lily said with a smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily and James walked (or in Lily's case skipped) down the street to go shopping.
James stared at Lily 'she has such a great smile' he thought 'wait am I falling for her. No I can't we are friends. Omg I'm falling for her.'
Lily grabbed James' arm and said, "Come on James skip with me. Pleeeeeaaaaassssseee" she whined. She reminded him of Sirius.
"Fine," he said
They skipped hand in hand. Once they arrived at the store they unhooked arms. The worker said, "What may I help you with?"
"Well I need two dresses for tonight and tomorrow, and he needs to dress robes. The lady showed them where the dresses, and dress robes were. Lily took one and tried it on.
James was waiting outside the door waiting for her to model it off for him.
He heard her sigh.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"All of my brouses and scratches are showing."
"Wait one second let me see them."
She walked out.
"Okay wait one second."
He ran and got tan tights and emerald gloved to match the dress. He threw them in the dressing room. She caught them and put them on.
"James thank you!"
"No problem but just let me see."
"Okay" she said then she walked out.
"WOW!" he said, "you look great!"
She grinned.
Then she got changed and went to look for another dress.
She tried on about 5 dresses and couldn't find one that she liked
Finally James said, "Look at this one I like it."
She tried it on and loved it.
It was a blue green swirl and it was short. It was a thick strap (Like a strap to a muscle shirt but it goes good) and the dress was high in the front and the back hiding the huge mark on her back (From a belt Petunia hit her with.) It came with gloves to match. She showed James and he just stared. Finally he said "You should get that one"
"Don't worry I will. Now one last thing until we move on to you. Shoes. She got a deep green pair to match the dress and got these shoes that were a blue green swirl. They matched great. Lily thought they came together, that's how great they matched. Then they went to get dress robed. They ended up getting a deep blue, and a deep green (to match Lily lol). They got a pair of black dress shoes. They paid the lady and they left. This time they didn't skip. 'He looks good when he smiles' Lily thought 'wait am i falling for him? No I can't we are to good of friends. Omg I'm falling for him!!'
James then asked, "Would you like to be my partner for the balls?"
"Yes of course!!!!!"
"Wait would this be a date?" Lily asked.
"If you want it to be then yes."
"Yea actually I would like it to be."
'YES!!!!!' James thought
"Okay cool" James said.
They walked home then got ready for the ball. **************************************************************************** ** Lily decided to wear the green one first. She got dressed, put on makeup and then did her hair. She out her hair up in a bun with curls hanging down framing her face. She walked down stared where James was waiting in his dress robes.
She walked down to him and smiled.
He said, "Wow you look great!"
"Thanks"
They stared into each other's eyes when James kissed her. She didn't hold back. It was soft and gentle. It was like a perfect first kiss between a couple. James pulled away and said, "I'm sorry I don't no what came over me."
"Its okay I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot."
"Me too" he said.
There was silence so lily said, "Lets go see if you mother needs help."
"Okay."
Lily and James greeted the guests. They made small talk with everyone.
James' uncle came and said "Wow James you got your self a looker eh"
"Yea she definitely is a looker." James smiled at his uncle
"I no I am such a looker." Lily said.
"Yes you are so beautiful my little flower."
Lily stopped dead. Her smile faded.
"Whats wrong?" James asked
"Nothing," she said and put on her smile again
'Daddy used to call me that. I was his little flower.' she thought.
She blinked away the tears before James could see.
They danced and they ate. They had so much fun. A lot of people complimented Lily on her looks. They had a great time. Once the clock struck midnight an owl flew towards Lily. It read.
Dear Lily, You ran away you little git. In the summer you will get hurt even more. Vernon and I will beat you even harder. If we are lucky we will kill you. That is what we will try to do. Hopefully this will be you last Christmas!
~Petunia
Lily put her head down on the table where James and her were sitting and talking.
She sobbed in her arms.
"Whats wrong. What did it say?"
She handed him the letter
"Lily its okay nothing will happen to you. I'll make sure. They won't be able to touch you. James gave her a big hug. She winced.
"What?"
"Oh its just your pushing the huge brouse I have on my back."
"Oh sorry"
"Its okay. James I'm so scared. She'll send a letter to your mom from me saying mean stuff or something. She wants me dead. I should be dead. There is no reason to live. You're the only one who cares about me James. My parents did but they are dead now because of me."
"No that's not true. There is Ruby, Remus, Sirius, Bella, all the teachers, and more people. (Peter and her don't like eachother lol) Everyone likes you at school but the Slytherins but they don't count."
"Okay but my sister wants to kill me. I can't be so great if my family wants me dead."
"So what its one person."
"Okay" she said.
James walked her to her room and said goodnight. Lily then kissed James goodnight. He dreamt about their kiss. **************************************************************************** *****

It came with gloves to match. She showed James and he just stared. Finally he said "You should get that one"
"Don't worry I will. Now one last thing until we move on to you. Shoes. She got a deep green pair to match the dress and got these shoes that were a blue green swirl. They matched great. Lily thought they came together, that's how great they matched. Then they went to get dress robed. They ended up getting a deep blue, and a deep green (to match Lily lol). They got a pair of black dress shoes. They paid the lady and they left. This time they didn't skip. 'He looks good when he smiles' Lily thought 'wait am i falling for him? No I can't we are to good of friends. Omg I'm falling for him!!'
James then asked, "Would you like to be my partner for the balls?"
"Yes of course!!!!!"
"Wait would this be a date?" Lily asked.
"If you want it to be then yes."
"Yea actually I would like it to be."
'YES!!!!!' James thought
"Okay cool" James said.
They walked home then got ready for the ball. **************************************************************************** ** Lily decided to wear the green one first. She got dressed, put on makeup and then did her hair. She out her hair up in a bun with curls hanging down framing her face. She walked down stared where James was waiting in his dress robes.
She walked down to him and smiled.
He said, "Wow you look great!"
"Thanks"
They stared into each other's eyes when James kissed her. She didn't hold back. It was soft and gentle. It was like a perfect first kiss between a couple. James pulled away and said, "I'm sorry I don't no what came over me."
"Its okay I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it a lot."
"Me too" he said.
There was silence so lily said, "Lets go see if you mother needs help."
"Okay."
Lily and James greeted the guests. They made small talk with everyone.
James' uncle came and said "Wow James you got your self a looker eh"
"Yea she definitely is a looker." James smiled at his uncle
"I no I am such a looker." Lily said.
"Yes you are so beautiful my little flower."
Lily stopped dead. Her smile faded.
"Whats wrong?" James asked
"Nothing," she said and put on her smile again
'Daddy used to call me that. I was his little flower.' she thought.
She blinked away the tears before James could see.
They danced and they ate. They had so much fun. A lot of people complimented Lily on her looks. They had a great time. Once the clock struck midnight an owl flew towards Lily. It read.
Dear Lily, You ran away you little git. In the summer you will get hurt even more. Vernon and I will beat you even harder. If we are lucky we will kill you. That is what we will try to do. Hopefully this will be you last Christmas!
~Petunia
Lily put her head down on the table where James and her were sitting and talking.
She sobbed in her arms.
"Whats wrong. What did it say?"
She handed him the letter
"Lily its okay nothing will happen to you. I'll make sure. They won't be able to touch you. James gave her a big hug. She winced.
"What?"
"Oh its just your pushing the huge brouse I have on my back."
"Oh sorry"
"Its okay. James I'm so scared. She'll send a letter to your mom from me saying mean stuff or something. She wants me dead. I should be dead. There is no reason to live. You're the only one who cares about me James. My parents did but they are dead now because of me."
"No that's not true. There is Ruby, Remus, Sirius, Bella, all the teachers, and more people. (Peter and her don't like eachother lol) Everyone likes you at school but the Slytherins but they don't count."
"Okay but my sister wants to kill me. I can't be so great if my family wants me dead."
"So what its one person."
"Okay" she said.
James walked her to her room and said goodnight. Lily then kissed James goodnight. He dreamt about their kiss. **************************************************************************** *****
