"You should tell her," Remus told James as they came down from the boys dorm. "That's the only way she will know how you feel."
"Who's she?" Lily had risen from her spot on the couch. She was up late, like Remus and James. For one fleeting second she privatly wished it was her, then the rest of her head protested. Her eyes wandered to his eyes and fixed them there. 'Do I like James?' Lily thought. She shook the thought out of her head.
"Doesn't matter. How are you doing? And what are you doing up so late? I thought you were 'tired'." James asked Lily, curious. He stood planted to the floor, awaiting an answer.
"Oh! Umm.I had been reading. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep." Lily showed them her book. "And you?"
"Walking," said James as soon as Remus said, "Exploring". They both looked at each other and held back a laugh.
"May I join you?" Lily was now looking at the invisability cloak folded neatly in James's hands.
Remus looked at James and nodded. James nodded back and both boys turned to face Lily, "Sure", they said at the same time. Lily slipped her book mark in her muggle novel and silently tiptoed to where Remus and James were standing.
"Where are we going?" Lily frowned, as they neared the protrait hole.
Remus shrugged, "Just a walk around Hogwarts. Nothing special. We couldn't get to sleep. James for different reasons than I." He was rewarded a light kick from James.
Lily ignored the kick, "Okay then." And all three of them disapeared underneath the invisability cloak. Once they were in the dark eerie corridors, Remus whispered to his companians, "Lets head towards the library." James and Lily nodded in agreement and turned down the corridor to the grand staircase. They went down the stairs as quietly as they could, and soon entered another long corridor, bringing them to the door of the Library. James reached out to push the door, and a terrified scream pieced the night. It wasn't James, Lily, or Remus though, but all jumped and started talking in enormous amounts, not caring if they woke students. They were probably awake anyway. Then, another sound filled the expected silence. A murderous laugh, coming from the tower from which they had came from, the Gryffindor Tower. James, Remus, and Lily raced up the stairs, wands out, thinking of spells. Lily was clinging onto James's sweater. Not that he minded, anyway.
"James?" Lily's trembling voice filled the silence, "I'm scared."
"I am too."
They were not alone. Professors were also running up the staircase, wands out. James grew more panicked. Remus was staying calm, but was keeping close to James and Lily. When they reached the Gryffindor tower, there was one body laying in the center of the common room. Abby. She was dead.
"Abby," Lily whispered. Lily couldn't take it anymore. She'd lost too much. Her best friend, and her lover. Tears streamed down Lily's face. James had kneeled beside her, and stared at Abby's ghostly white body. Remus had gone upstairs to check on the Gryffindor students.
"What happened?" James heard a gasp and looked over his shoulder. The current headmaster of Hogwarts, along with more teachers stood in front of the door. Professor Rou (OOC: Another lazy name.-_-), the headmaster, strided towards Abby's dead body and examined it.
"Avada Kevada," he whispered softly. James, and Lily nodded, eyes wide. "Where are the other students?"
A worried glance fell over Lily's gaze, "Remus went to check on them. Would he be back by now?" Professor Rou fell silent, and motioned Lily and James to come with him. They followed him up the boys stairs, and found the dorms deserted, empty.
"Whe-ere are they?" Lily let out a terrified whisper. Lily was shaking, and James was trying to comfort her.
"Gone," Professor Rou replied, as he started back down the stairs to the girls dorm. They too, were gone. Professor Rou's eyes were sharp, and he yelled at the teachers, "Go check on the other houses. Lily was now sobbing.
"Its okay, its okay, everything will be fine," James said soothingly while rubbing her back, forcing back his tears.
"Where were you?" Professor Rou asked James.
"Lily, Remus, and I were going to the library. Sorry Professor, for breaking school rules," James apologized. Professor Rou nodded, "Its okay. Normally detention would be given, but at a time like this." His voice trailed off. Lily stared at Abby's body.
"Can-can we bring her back?" Lily knew the answer. "There is no possible way to fully bring back the dead."
Lily rubbed her eyes, and sobbed into James's shirt. The door was then burst open, and attention was drawn to it.
"There are no students in the entire building, Professor."
"You should tell her," Remus told James as they came down from the boys dorm. "That's the only way she will know how you feel."
"Who's she?" Lily had risen from her spot on the couch. She was up late, like Remus and James. For one fleeting second she privatly wished it was her, then the rest of her head protested.
