Oh god…. Sorry, I don't like this chapter. I mean it was good to write, but sooo scary to realize what's going on….

Chapter Twenty Two

Future

Lily got up, dusting herself off and Arabella stared at her, slightly frightened. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Lily winced as she felt her arm; it was twisted at an odd angle. "Nah, I'll be fine. We have to hurry."

"You should set your arm first." James said, looking worried.

"No, no. it's okay, I'll get it set later." Lily replied. She glanced at her arm and wondered if it would be alright. The fingers were loosely holding the snitch and she grabbed it with her other hand. "Look, it's a key."

The group hurried across the pitch towards the next door way. Lily inserted the wing of the snitch into the key hole and turned the lock, the tumblers fell into place and Lily sighed. She pulled the door open with on hand and watched as her friends filed through. Then she went in herself.

The room was dark and musty. Lily looked around to find her friends, but couldn't find them.

Then the voice spoke. "You are about to see the possible futures of your friends. If you make a noise, you will not get through."

Lily's eyes widened as a screen began to form in front of her eyes.

"James—James, don't make me. I'll be the obvious target." Sirius looked desperate as he argued with an older James.

"But Sirius, who else is there?"

"Peter."

"Is he the right one, why not Remus?" James asked.

"Lupin—I believe Remus is on Voldemort's side." Sirius said, looking downcast.

"But how?"

"You know the night before your parents were killed?" Sirius asked, James winced slightly. "You know how they had almost made that shield against Avada Kadavra?"

James nodded, "All their notes were destroyed, there was nothing left for us to salvage."

"Well, your parents told me, you and Remus." Sirius said. "And I know I'm not a servant of Voldemort, and you aren't, so only Remus could—" but Sirius's last words were cut out by screaming.

Lily looked at the screen and saw Remus sobbing over a girl with long blonde hair. He looked up as Karrie and Frank walked over to him. "She died." He whispered, looking at the girls face.

"Remus—we're sorry." Karrie said, looking at the girl too. "Jennifer—"

the scene faded out and Lily was faced with a group of young men and woman. A woman with long blonde hair and olive skin walked over to them.

Lily saw herself in the crowd, on James's lap. She was smiling happily.

"Hello." The woman said. "I'm Persephone—"

the scene faded again and Arabella came into view, crying over a grave stone. "Sirius." She whispered and the wind blew away her tears. She held a small bundle to her, and it wailed.

"Hush, child." Arabella said.

Remus appeared beside her. "Arabella? Are you all right—"

Again the scene changed and Lily didn't know what she was seeing. Sirius laughing over a heap of robes, laughing hysterically with the street in ruins. Wizards were running around and finally someone grabbed him.

"It wasn't me!" Sirius laughed as they tied him up. Lily watched as he was shut into a cell, still laughing. "It wasn't me." He began to mutter. "The traitor is still out there. I hope he dies!"

the scene faded out and Peter was standing on the same street, "Lily and James, how could you Sirius? How could you kill them?" Sirius reached for his wand, but Peter was too quick, he muttered something and blasted the street behind him and transformed.

Sirius began to laugh.

"You see the problem-" a new scene, Remus this time sitting at a table, "While the Ministry insists there is nothing to fear from Voldemort—"

and now the image that had been lurking in the background started to come forward.

Remus, Sirius and Peter were standing, glaring at each other. "It's all over Wormtail, I've been cleared of your crimes, you'll be sent to Azkaban, or we'll kill you." Sirius said.

A boy of seventeen walked into the light. "No Sirius."

"Harry, he killed your parents, he ruined thirteen years of my life, he nearly stopped you bringing me back. I have to commit the murder I was put away for."

"No." a girl, about nineteen, stepped into the light. Her olive skin reminded Lily of something, but she couldn't place it.

"Adair—" Sirius started.

"No. you wouldn't have come if you hadn't been in Azkaban. You would have looked after Harry. I was never first." Adair turned to look at Peter.

"Adair—" Harry began.

"HE KILLED LILY AND JAMES!" Sirius yelled.

"No." Adair turned back. "Send him to Azkaban. Let him live with the worst of his life, forever."

"But Adair-" Remus began.

"DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT IF YOU KILL HIM YOU'LL GO BACK!" She yelled.

A bushy haired girl stepped into the light. "Sirius—don't. don't do it!" the girl said.

"Hermione—"

a tall gangling boy with red hair came in. "Haven't enough people died tonight?"

"Ron—" Remus looked pleading.

"If anyone has the right to kill him, it's Harry." Another tall red head entered the light.

"I don't want to kill anyone." Harry muttered.

"Harry Potter!" a voice squeaked. Harry spun. A house elf was in Peter's hands, and he was wringing it's neck.

"PUT HIM DOWN NOW WORMTAIL!" Harry roared, and Lily knew the voice. It was James's.

it was her own.

"You're not going to kill me!" Peter began to sing, still wringing the house elf's neck. Harry dove at Peter, knocking him off his feet, the house elf went flying and Hermione caught him.

"You are trying to kill an innocent creature." Harry panted, punching Peter into the ground.

Stop! Lily wanted to yell, but bit her tongue. It wasn't right. Harry Potter was killing one of her friends. Why wasn't Sirius or Remus stopping him.

"Harry!" a voice yelled.

"Ginny." Harry muttered, standing up and leaving Peter on the ground in a heap.

"Harry help!" the voice yelled again.

"No Harry—" Hermione began but Harry had run off.

"She's—" Ron glared at Hermione.

"He's our only hope. I would die if Ginny dies, but the world will die if Harry dies." Hermione yelled at Ron.

Sirius and Remus ran after Harry, Lily followed them.

"Ginny!" Harry was yelling as a pale man with red eyes pointed his wand at a girl with long red hair. Lily almost screamed, before biting her tongue again. It was the man she never wanted to see again.

"Avada Kedavra!" the man yelled.

A flash of green light, that Lily had seen several times before raced towards Ginny.

"NO!" Harry ran forward, but Ginny was hit squarely in the chest. She fell, an expression of shock on her face. "NO! GINNY NO!"

Harry was crying out of emerald green eyes that Lily recognized. Her eyes.

"Harry!" a boy with red hair and green eyes yelled as the pale man's wand rose again. Harry was bent over the form of the girl, Ginny. "HARRY!" The boy screamed.

"Ginny… Ginny." Harry mumbled over the girl. "Comeon, you can't be dead."

"Avada Kedavra!" the man screamed. Harry made no move. The boy threw himself in front of the jet of green light. He crumpled and Hermione screamed.

"MARK!" She ran over to the body of the boy. "HARRY!" She screamed. "HARRY!"

Harry finally looked up, his eyes misted over.

"Harry, Mark's dead!" Hermione began to sob. "He was only twelve."

"No." Harry rose up, he stood there glaring at the man. "VOLDEMORT!" He yelled.

"Ah, Harry, shall you die tonight?" Voldemort asked, his snake like nostrils flaring.

"No." Harry said.

"Shall we try a little dose of pain to change your answer? Crucio!"

Harry collapsed and Lily almost screamed. She had finally understood who he was.

The scene faded out.

Lily was shaking. "What happens?" the room didn't answer. "DOES HARRY LIVE?" She screamed.

"That is for the future to decide." The voice answered. "These are just possible ways for the future to chose. Now, you have passed, go through and meet the others."

Lily marched through the door, her broken arm hanging limply at her side. "Do not tell anyone what you saw." The voice whispered as the door slammed shut.

"Lily!" Arabella flung herself at her friend.

"Who's here?" Lily asked, looking around. James, Sirius, Remus, Arabella… "Where's Karrie?"

Arabella pointed, Karrie was on the other side of a glass wall. "Karrie?" Lily asked, hurrying over.

"I screamed." Karrie said matter-a-factly. "It was just to terrible."

Lily wondered what could happen that would make her friend scream. "Well, we have to go on…"

"Get going then." Karrie replied.

Looking back, Lily walked out of the hall way.
