Falling

Authors Note for Austynne: A story written for Austynne since he thinks my old one was a tad boring, predictable, and what was that other one, oh yes, I didn't reach deep enough into the feelings of my characters. Thanks for the 'Constructive Criticism', works wonders. I hope this on is better. I didn't change my other one because other people liked it.

Authors Note for all: Peter is not friends with the Marauders in this story, for he is a *#@$ing #%@hole. As you all know.(#$@%*&$ #&%$%@*)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, accept for unrecognized characters.

Final Destination

Dedicated to Austynne

Dear Diary

Lilly was walking through the halls of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, contemplating her life. She was the second smartest student in Hogwarts, next to James Potter. One of the notorious Marauders. They were the pranksters of Hogwarts, and the best looking guys in school as well.

James had unruly black hair that hung in front of his chocolate brown eyes. He wore thin wiry glasses, and had a smile that made all girls go week at the knees, accept for Lilly. He was the captain of the quiditch team and had a 6 foot 3 frame to go with it. Sirius, James' best friend was 6,2 and also on the quiditch. He had shoulder length black hair and bright blue eyes, always filled with humor. He had an infectious grin that could make girls trip over themselves.

Now Remus was the most quiet and sensible of the group. He had short dirty blonde hair and gray eyes. He was thin and reached a height of 5,8. As many noticed he was usually sick. Only the marauders and Lilly knew why.

She entered the Great Hall just as dinner was starting and sat down alone at the end of the table. Dumbledore got up to talk, but she heard nothing he had said for she was to engrossed in her book. She was finally pulled away from her one and only escape from the world by the smell of the food that had appeared before her. She lifted her plate and scooped some potatoes on it.

She ate silently as she sneaked a few glances at the people around her. Four seats down where the Marauders huddled closely together discussing something. Suddenly they looked up and turned to face the Slytherin table. She followed their glances as a loud 'boom' emitted from the table. Al heads turned towards the table as the smoke disappeared. What she saw made a rare smile reach her lips. There in front of her were the Marauder's and Lilly's worst enemies, Anthony Crabbe, Marcus Goyle, Luscious Malfoy, Severus Snape, and Thomas Avery. They were all wearing bright pink dresses with heavily lipsticked smiles plastered on their faces. The hall erupted in laughter as the five boys began to sing a poorly edited addition of good appraisal towards the marauders, who in fact were standing on the table bowing.

All fun had suddenly left as Mrs. McGonagal's shrill voice echoed throughout the now silent hall. " Will misters Potter, Black, and Lupin please meet me in my office after dinner for detention." The boys all nodded smiling, while the hall was filled with cheers from the Gryfindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff tables.

Dinner ended and the three Marauders left to meet Mrs. McGonagal. Lilly picked up her book and quickly walked back to her dorm. She was sure the group of angry Slytherins would let out their anger on her as they usually did. She reached the Portrait hole and whispered the password 'butterfinger', she said hurriedly. The portrait swung open and she climbed in. She raced up to her dorm and plopped down on her bed. As usual she pulled out her diary and began to write.

Dear Diary,

The Marauders have pulled their usual prank, accept this one was extremely funny. All those evil Slytherins I told you about were wearing pink lipstick and they sung, can you believe it. I wish I was always that happy, but you know things aren't always how you want them. I got my Transfiguration report back and I got another 'A'. Mum is always so proud of my grades. I better send it to her. Its been a while since I've heard from her. Write soon.

Lilly

She closed her diary and pushed it back under her pillow. Then she walked over to her desk and pulled out a piece of parchment, starting her letter to her mother.

Dear Mum,

I got another report back and got an 'A'. I sent it with this letter. How are you all back at home. Has daddy gotten that client to order yet, I hope so. I hope Petunia is doing well. ('Not,' she thought aloud) well send me a letter as soon as you can. I love you.

Lilly

She folded the letter and tied it to her owl , Giomanich's, leg. As she watched him fly through the window to the darkened sky, she thought about how much she missed her mother. She brushed an imaginary tear from her eye and walked over to her bed and lay down. Lilly fell into a sleep filled with dreams of her flying through the air to her final destination.
