Chapter six: Lily's story
After James accepted the cup, Lily took Sirius's now empty seat. James finally turned away from the fire and surveyed Lily's image. In his mind she was more beautiful then anything. Her hair was pulled half back and there wasn't a trace of makeup to be found, not that Lily ever wore a lot of makeup to begin with. James just stared at her for what seemed like forever when she finally turned.
"James, erm. I know you still want to be more then just friends, but I can't"
"why" James burst out
"I was getting to that if you would let me finish, its hard enough to say this as it is" she snapped
James only stared
"Like I was saying I can't be more then friends right now, its not just you but with everyone.
When I was 11 the spring before I was supposed to start Hogwarts, Mum and I were making lunch when, my cousin came over and changed my life.
She was about 15 at the time, she ran in my house with a look of pure terror on her face. Mum sat her down and touched her shoulder; my cousin jumped when mum touched her and responded,
"Don't touch me, don't ever touch me."
Something was wrong and we didn't know what. She wouldn't let anyone touch her at all, she'd wake up screaming in the night, and she never left the house alone. About two weeks past when she finally told mum the story. I plainly listened be hind a door. It was horrible; she had gone to her new boyfriends house, they were in his room talking when he, he rapped her. I didn't really understand it and couldn't hear the details. My cousin kept blaming her self-saying I asked for it, I went up to his room. Mum, told me later that my cousin was traumatized for a while, the reason she'd wake in the middle of night is she thought he was there. Every night she would check under her bed and in her closet, some nights all she could do was lay awake."
She paused and looked at James, but sadly you couldn't read his expression so she continued
"To make a lone story short they ended up pressing charges, he's in jail and she's doing better now, but right before I was getting on the Hogwarts express she told me "never go out with a guy until your sure he'll treat you right, become his friend first." Tough's words stuck in me for the longest time."
When it happens to other people all you can say how sad, you say poor thing but when it happened to you it's different it's everything, the friends you had just seemed to disappear and it feels like no one can make it better (that was a quote from a TV show that inspired me to write this chapter)
Lily looked at James "can you understand why I just want to be friends?"
"Lily, wow. I had no idea, I'm sorry but you know I wouldn't ever do something like that to you and there are actually good guys out there"
Lily got up and gave James a hug. James was shocked, however held her there and she whispered something in his ear.
"Friends, ok?"
"Yeah, friends"
Lily stayed in James arms for the longest time before finally letting him go
Lily held James hand as they walked to the head of the staircase, after biding him goodnight she fell asleep almost instantly. When James entered the boys dorm he was greeted by Sirius's snores.
James lay awake for a while remembering what it felt like to hold Lily as if everything in the world was perfect. He steadily drifted of to sleep.
Remus was the first to awake the next morning.
"Prongs, Padfoot, wormtail, get up!
Come on its already 11:00a.m."
His only response was snores
"Fine, have it your way, well do it the hard way"
Peter who had been faking got up, not wanting to know what the hard way was.
Remus conjured up, two pitchers of water and dumped them on Sirius and James head. Instantly they attacked him with pillows.
Wormtail yelled, "Pillow fight"
Within minutes feathers were everywhere, what none of the marauders notice is a certain Miss. Lily Evens was watching them.
After the fuss had died down Lily finally spoke sitting on James bed still unnoticed
"Having fun?"
She looked around at all of them in a much better and brighter mode then the previous night
"Don't think, I don't remember you turning my hair pink, come on guys lets get her" Sirius spoke with a evil grin on his face
"What, no don-" she was cut off by a mass of pillows and the fight begin again.
~An hour later~
"Oh, my look its already 12:30" Wormtail said plopping down on his bed
"Yeah, were late for my favorite meal of the day" Sirius spoke putting off a fake frown
"Is food all you can think about" Lily added throwing a pillow at Sirius as she fell down on James bed.
"Come on Lily we'll wait for you guys to change in the common room"
Remus interrupted not wanting to start another pillow fight. Lily and Remus went down to the common room and started to play wizards chess waiting for the others were changing.
