Chapter Twenty Four

A Day In the Life You Once Knew

Lily elected to go first and entered the room. the door slammed shut behind her.

"Uh-oh." She whispered quietly as a wind began to blow around her ankles, tugging at her robes. The wind began to swirl around her and she began spinning.

It was rather, Lily decided later, like getting caught in a tornado.

Lily opened her eyes and saw she was in her room. her room at her house, twenty three Hamiltal Road. She jumped up, confused and looked at the clock.

It was seven in the morning. "I slept in." she found herself saying.

"LLLLLLIIIIIIILLLLLLLYYYYY!" Petunia called up the stairs.

When has Petunia started calling me down again? She thought as Petunia yelled again.

"COMING!" Lily yelled. She jumped up and pulled on some clothes. She looked for her watch, but couldn't find it.

That wasn't right, it was always on the dresser and had been since she was ten. She moved over to a calendar and gasped.

It was July 31st, 1968.

"Lily!" it was her mother's voice this time. "Come on! We've got to celebrate!"

"Oh danm." She whispered before running out of the room. "Coming mum!"

"Happy Birthday to you!" she began to sing as she hurried into the kitchen. "Happy birthday dear DAD! Happy birthday to you!" she flung herself at her father. "Happy birthday dad!"

"Thank you my bewitching witch."

"I am a witch though." Lily said, but her father didn't seem to hear. "Daddy, I am a witch, and so is mum, and Petunia hates me for it."

"So which present should I open first?"

Mrs. Evans was at the stove, simply making some bacon. Lily looked out the window. "I don't remember the—" but she interrupted herself, "Open mine! Mine!"

She hurriedly placed a present into her father's hands. "There was a fence out there?" she asked as her father opened the box that had the pair of glasses that he always wore now.

She turned to look at his glasses. They were scratched and bent slightly. She had never noticed how they fit his face better then the ones she had gotten for him.

"Daddy, do you like them?"

"Yes, thank you." Her father scooped her up and Lily saw Petunia looking sour.

"Open Petunia's, she already hates me enough." But her father didn't hear her as he was opening their mother's present.

"Dear it's beautiful!" her father jumped out of his chair and hugged their mother.

"Thank you, all right girls, Petunia; you've given your gift, right?" Her mother asked her sister.

"No." Petunia said. Lily wondered why she hadn't noticed how hurt Petunia seemed.

"STOP! CAN'T YOU NOTICE THESE THINGS?" Lily yelled. They were skipping over the minor details, the tiny things that made the big picture. They were the missing puzzle pieces.

No one noticed that she had started to yell.

"Don't you realize that you're missing all these things?" she whispered.

Lily resigned herself to the hurt that the day took her. Every time she looked somewhere she saw something that she hadn't noticed when she had lived this day before.

"Why?" she moaned as she sank into her bed that night. "Why this?"

A wind began to blow over her face and Lily wondered if it might be the last time she would know all of this. All of life.

Had they spent a whole day in here, or part of one, how long did they have?

Lily sat up and went over to the window. She looked down at the street and memorized it. Even if it was a memory of this day, it was better then nothing.

She took a mental snapshot.

She moved out of the room quietly and went to her sisters room.

Petunia's bony face was calm. She twitched slightly as she slept. Lily moved over to sit beside her.

"Petunia. I'm a witch. I know you hate me for having magic. I don't see why though, after all, I didn't chose to be this way. Petunia, I hope you're happy with your life later on. I hope you find a good place to be." Lily got up quietly.

She bent over her sister, brushed the blonde hair away from her sister's sleeping face and kissed it softly.

Petunia didn't even stir.

"I love you, even if you don't love me." Lily whispered as she padded out of her sister's room.

she moved into her parents room. her father was snoring slightly. He hadn't gotten the thing to stop him snoring yet. Lily wanted to cry. She memorized the sound of his snores.

She sat down next to her father. "Daddy. You know, you should get the lens replaced in your old glasses and leave the ones I gave you in the box. I mean, they don't fit your face." She sighed. "I wish you could really hear me. Daddy, I might die soon, and I'll never see any of you again. I want you to know some things."

Lily brushed the closely cropped hair away from her father's ear. "For one thing, I think I'm going to be marrying a boy named James Potter. He's really nice, got a bit of a big head, but it'll deflate I hope. I just want you to know he's really good and nice, and you'll love him.

"I'll name our first child after you. But daddy, I don't think I'm going to live long enough to see him grow up. you see I'm doing this thing called the Circle of Light, and in one place we saw the future. My friend Sirius Black was yelling at another firend of mine telling Harry, he looked like James, but he had our eyes, he was saying Peter killed me and James. Remus Lupin, he's another friend, he's a werewolf daddy, but he's really nice, he was there too."

Lily looked over to her mother. "I'm coming mum." She said and walked over to her mother.

"Mum, I love you." Lily whispered and kissed her mother's cheek. "I love you and I'm sorry for everything I ever did to you."

Lily left the room. she took another snapshot and went back to her room. she stared around it and remembered all the titles on her walls.

She leaned back in the bed and was instantly asleep.

Lily found herself in the chamber where she had began this adventure. "Hmph, that wasn't much of a task, just forcing pain on us." She shouted at the chamber.

A door swung open and Lily walked out. She realized that her arm wasn't broken any more and was slightly surprised.

It was a good thing it wasn't broken anymore though, and she was about to find out how.

A/N: Note, I've started a new fic called "Order of the Phoenix" it's the sequel that I'm starting. Check it out please?
