Chapter 12: Death

If Lily was upset, she didn't show it. She went along as usual, hiding her beauty. The girls went back to hating the guys, they even refused to continue training with Dumbledore, and prophecy or not they hated each other even more now. Lily, Gwen and Bella had excluded Cloey from their group and she began hanging out with the snotty other Gryffindor 5 years.

James was actually quite upset about his break-up with Lily, he wouldn't admit it but he really cared about her, he was just scared of a long-term commitment. So he made out with Cloey. Sure it was cruel but he really didn't like the screaming out a break-up.

Sirius and Remus had supported James in his time of need because they were true best friends but they two were very upset about their breakups, they didn't mean what they said. The two groups avoided each other and nothing excited happened until breakfast October 23.....

"Lily, get up! We're gonna miss breakfast!" Gwen shouted to Lily, who was still asleep.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lily got up, took a 5 second shower, threw on clothes and met the girls in the common room in a record 10 minutes.

"I wonder what's for breakfast today." Bella said as they entered the Great Hall.

"I hope its bacon and eggs, the house elves haven't made that in ages." Lily answered.

As they sat down they saw that indeed, it was bacon and eggs.

"Yay!" Lily let out a squeal and started piling food on her plate when the mail arrived. A Tawny owl, like the one the Ministry used flew over to Lily and dropped a letter on her bacon. "I wonder who's-"

She became deadly pale and without saying anything ran out of the hall, tears in her eyes. Unseen to the girls her brother slowly followed her out.

"What's that about?" Gwen asked picking up the forgotten letter and began to read it it said:

Dear Ms. Lilian R. Evans,

We regret to inform you that your parents Mr. & Mrs. Richard Evans were killed in a Death Eater Attack, late last night. Your sister Petunia Evans was not in the residence when the attack took place. She will be staying at a Mr. Vernon Dursley's home. The funeral will take place Oct. 25 at St. Mary's church. You may leave Hogwarts immediately in the company of your brother. We express our supreme sympathy.

George H. Potter, Minister Of Magic

"Oh My God! Poor Lily. Should we follow her?" Gwen asked.

"No, give her time alone with her brother. Did you know James' dad was the Minister of Magic?" Bella answered.

"Nope, we better get to class, everyone's leaving." They left, both deep in thought about Lily.

Death Eater attacks were getting more common lately but weren't common enough for it to be the first thing that people thought when someone ran out of the hall crying.

Lily left that evening tearfully hugging Gwen and Bella. She had a horrible time at the funeral and had to deal with Petunia's accusations that is was all her fault, for Petunia knew about the prophecy, Lily had told her parents who in turn told Petunia.

"She's wrong you know, it isn't anybody's fault but that mad man!" Ryan kept assuring her.

She returned on the 27, with news of a ball to cheer her up a bit.
