The Flower's Story
"Injustice everywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lily lay on her bed at home waiting for something interesting to happen. Or at least not of the boring. It had been a week since the last day of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And after Lily finished telling her mum and dad everything that happened her house was as muggle as muggle could get!
"Ugh! I'm sooooooo bored!" she giggled remembering a conversation.
"Why can't someone just come knocking on my window?!"
Tap.Tap.Tap.
Lily jumped up from her bed.
"I'm a divinator!" she proclaimed loudly.
She looked towards her window to see Tasha, Sirius, and James floating in mid air.
She stood there for about five minutes just staring at them and wondering how they were doing that.
"Lily you git! Open the stupid window, we can't stay here forever!" Tasha screamed.
She ran over to the window and lifted it up.
"What are you dolts doing out their" she said as Sirius flew through the window with Tasha on the back. "A muggle might see you." In came James.
"Well you shouldn't have left us there floating for five hours!" James stated as he rolled his eyes.
"Oh I'm so sorry but you know, I'm just not used to people hovering in the air on BROOMSTICKS OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!" There goes that temper again. "And it was five minutes not five hours." She stated imitating James with eyes rolling.
"Lil, do you still have some Wizard money left from when you bought your books for first year?"
"Not much." She said shaking her head.
"Well then grab some muggle money dahling because we're going to hit the town tonight." Sirius said as he did a little tap dance.
"Translation?" she looked to James.
"We're goin to Diagon Alley" He smiled.
The door burst open. A twiggy girl came strolling into Lily's room not even noticing the three other people. She had blonde stringy hair and so much make-up on you couldn't see her actual face. It was obviously Lily's older sister Petunia!
"Lily darling, would you please stop talking to yourself. I know it's what 'your people' probably do but Vernon is coming over and I don't want you to ruin anything for us! YOU GOT IT?"
"Sure! We got it." James said hoisting Lily onto the back of the broom.
Lily smiled at him.
Petunia did a double take and finally noticed the three other people on the brooms. Floating!
"As a matter of fact, we were just leaving" Tasha piped in.
"Good day dahling" said Sirius in his oh so sirius way and doggy smile.
"Oh and Tunia! Do say hello to that pig of a boyfriend for me will you?"
Lily said to Petunia.
Lily tightened her grip on James' stomach as they shot out of the window and rose above the clouds. She heard him coughing.
"Lil, I need air! Air! Unless you want to crash?!"
She looked down and saw how high they were and decided against falling and crashing. She loosened her grip.
"Why do we have to be so high up? And exactly where are we going?"
"First we have to give Remus a little surprise and abduct him to then off to Diagon Alley!" James said.
Lily looked off to the horizon and saw the moon begin to rise. It was pecularly round.
"NO! He's sick! Um...his whole family is sick and it's very contagious!"
She yelled out to all of them.
"Really? All right then we won't bother them. Hope they feel better!"
"Let's head over to London then! It's already getting dark and I need to buy new robes! I've already grown out of my old ones! There not even old yet!"
Sirius complained.
"Oh shut your trap!" Tasha wacked him above the head.
They fought all the way to London and Lily and James just laughed at the little comments they made to each other.
When they finally got to Diagon Alley and Lily had traded in some muggle money for Wizard money it was already completely dark out. Candles lit the street in a very romantic aura. But the group just snickered at the thought of any of them going out with each other.
It was two in the morning when Lily had finally gotten home. They all dropped her off back at her bedroom window and raced home. As Lily was about to get into bed her mother opened the door with a very disgruntled look on her face.But it wasn't anger, it was something else.
"Lily I don't want to argue with you right now because............well......there was an accident. An accident over at the Lupin's house."
Lily started paying attention now "What kind of accident?"
"There was an explosion of some sort. When the neighbors heard it they instantly called the police." She paused for a moment. "Mr. and Mrs. Lupin were in a coma when they were found."
She looked at Lily for a reaction.
"What happened to Remus?" she asked dully. To in shock to really register anything.
"Remus wasn't found. But that means he might be all right."
She hugged Lily supportively.
Lily looked out the window towards the moon. "I know he is."
*-*-*-*-*-*
The next morning Lily walked down the stairs to find Remus laying on the love seat in the sitting room. His eyes were closed so Lily assumed he was asleep. So she crept over to the edge of the love seat and crouched down next to his head. She put her hand over his and shut her eyes praying that something good will come out of what had happened.
"Lil?" he asked quietly opening his eyes.
"Yes?" Lily slowly opened her eyes afraid of what she might see. Instead she was releived to see her best friend lying there looking back at her, even though his eyes were full of sorrow.
"Don't tell anyone about this all right? I don't want sympathy from the guys. I mean...............It's not like they're dead. Just asleep." He smiled gravely.
"I promise." She said holding back tears.
The Lupin's had been so nice to her over the years. It was as if she had lost her own parents.
"There's also something else I want to tell you."
"What?" she asked alarmed.
"It wasn't an explosion that put my parent's in a coma."
"What was it?"
"Well, you know how my mum and dad were highly respected at the ministry of magic?" she nodded
"Well............they were a little too respected. A very dark wizard is out there Lily, I don't what his name is and I don't want to. But this dark Wizard has been killing wizards all over the country. He even killed some muggles. But now he's gaining power and supporters and anyone of us could be dead tomorrow Lil!"
"But Remus, how can you be sure it was him?"
"He always leaves his mark. A skull with a snake slithering in and out of it. I saw it hovering above my house so the muggles couldn't see it."
"Where are you going to stay?" she wondered
"With you! I told your parents about my Lyncanthropy and all that. They understood completley. I guess you have a brother now."
She smiled at him. "I always have"
"It's injustice Lil. It's truly injustice. Why would anyone want to hurt another person? Just because he wants power?" He was frowning.
Lily wanted to go out and kill that wizard right then and there. But she knew the only thing they could do was wait for Hogwarts to come back to them. James, Molly, Tasha, Sirius, and even Peter visited over the holidays. Eventually everyone knew about his parents because it was in the Wizard news.
More people died. And somewhere each night, injustice occurred!
AN: Well I actually wrote a summer chapter! Its not that long though.
I want to say thanks u to kelly for thinkin Sirius is kewl! Sorry he wasn't in this chapter as much but I wanted it to be based around the whole remus thing!
Stay put cuz theres more to come! Toots for now luv ya all!
R&R please.
