THE DEVIL WITH AN ANGEL'S FACE
Chapter 7:The Black Letters
DISCLAIMER: J.K. owns everything and everyone, except for me....
It was about two weeks after Sirius had made-out with that girl. I had been getting notes from him everyday-- apologising, saying that it was just something that had happened, and that it hadn't meant anything. I still couldn't forgive him. I wanted to, but I just couldn't. My daily routine had changed a great deal. Get up, go to classes, go to my room in the library, go to dinner, go back to the library, and go to bed. I had stopped eating, except for dinner. Except for dinner and classes, all my time was spent in the secret room in the library, thinking.
Right now I was thinking about what I had done wrong when I heard a voice behind me. ' So you've been here the whole time.' I jumped so high. I hadn't heard the bookshelf slide, or anyone crawl through.
'James, leave me alone. I want to be alone.'
'No, you've had enough of that. I want to talk to you. About Sirius.'
'Well, I don't. There's the door, now go away.'
'Fine, then we'll talk about something else. Listen, I don't really want to talk about Sirius, or what happened. I want to know why you haven't been eating, or coming to practise, or why you're here all the time.'
This was so bizarre. James Potter was being nice and sincere. So, I told him everything.
Over the next couple of days, I told him about my family and stories. I ended up trusting him enough to tell him everything--why I wasn't eating, about Sirius, about everything.
I told him my darkest, deepest secrets, even stuff I hadn't told Sirius.
It wasn't that I wanted to tell James, it was the fact that someone cared enough to listen. That he wanted to listen. Maybe it was just the fact that someone WAS listening, I don't know.
After a week, I was able to be in the common room and talk with people. One night Sirius came up to me. 'Can we talk,' he said, timidly.
'Sure.' James, who was sitting next to me, got up and walked across the room to Remus and Peter.
'Listen Lily. I'm really, really sor--'
'I don't want to hear it. Listen to me,' I said, interrupting him,' it happened, it's done with, we're over. Let's get used to it. Let's be friends.'
'O-ok,' Sirius stuttered.
He seemed surprised at my sudden change of heart. I was surprised myself. I wanted to be mad at him, but I couldn't.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We slowly became friends again and James and I became closer.
On the next Monday, we were sitting in the Great Hall eating breakfast (yes, me too, I had started to eat regularly again). The teachers were gone, already getting ready for classes, I guess. We were laughing and joking and having a good time. Peter had just spit out his apple juice everywhere when the Owl Post arrived.
Everyone looked up, searching for their owls. Everyone became quiet as two jet black owls flew in, both carrying black envelopes. They flew around then landed in front of me. I slowly took the letters and the owls flew away.
Everyone was starring at me. I got up from my seat and walked out of the Hall. As I closed the doors, I heard Malfoy shout,' I hope it's your mother and grandmother, mudblood!'
I ran up the stairs and went to the library. As I sat down on the couch I started to cry.
A black envelope means that someone has died. Same as when you get red envelope, you know you've got a Howler.
I sat there crying, then I opened the envelopes.
Dear Ms. Lillian Annabelle Evans,
I regret to inform you that your mother, Mary-Sue Evans, was killed today at 7.30. Please accept my condolences.

The other one said the exact same thing, except with my grandmother's name. James came in after a while and saw the letters and held me while I cried.
LittleBit's letter: Sad, huh? Don't worry, it'll get better. This chapter basically sucked. I had no idea what to write, but I just got ungrounded, which means I can use the computer again, yay! I promise to write more soon, and I'll go more into detail. Anyway, ciao 4 now-- please review.
