~*~Chapter 6~*~
Something Unexpected

They were at the 3 broomsticks.

"What happened?" asked Lilly.

"Well he took me," said JoElla.

"Voldemort?" asked Draco.

"Don't say his name, it gives me bad memories" said Lilly.

"Why?" said Draco & JoElla together.

"Never mind that, it's nothing really, go on with your story," suggested Lilly.

"Well he took me in there. But when he looked in my eyes he left."

"It wasn't you he wanted. It was me," said Lilly.

"Why?"

"Oh look at the time! I gotta go bye!" & Lilly took off.

"I'll go after her," said Draco.

He saw her ahead & started running after her.

"Lilly. Lilly, I need to talk to you. Please"

"Fine. What do you want?"

"I want to know why is you-know-who is after you?"

"Well here isn't a good place. Lets talk by the lake" They were walking in total silence.

"Ok. We're here," said Draco.

"Well when I was a kid, I was such a goody-goody. Even my sister is. But when I turned 13, I was tired of being such a good person. So I was thinking & then I had an idea, join Voldemort. But look, I am not a death- eater anymore. Don't worry, I hated it. I hate him. I never want to see him again. He is after me cause he wants me to join again. But I don't want to. Draco, I'm scared" she said all this with tears running down her checks.

His mouth was wide open in shock.

"My father wants me to join. But I don't want to be a slave of him. So I wont join"

"Well don't. He isn't worth it. But Draco, please don't tell anyone. You're the only person that knows. Not even JoElla knows."

"Ok, are you going to tell Harry?"

" I don't know. I don't think he is going to take it well" she had a sad look on her face when she said this.

"Is there anything else I should know about?"

"Yeah. The night of Harry's parents' death, I was there. Our parents were friends. They were babysitting me & I have a scar also. See" she showed him her ankle. She told him the rest of her story.

"You can't tell anyone about that either." She said with a smile on her face.

"Well it's late, we better head up to the school" said Draco as he was helping her up.

The next morning Lilly woke up & through some cloths on & her robe, since she wasn't hungry & she did want to run into anyone or talk to them. She was going to the Astronomy tower. She climbed up to the roof. She just loved the view. It was so peaceful & pleasant, so unlike her life. She heard footstep, so she turned around to see who it was.

"Oh god, not you" she said looking for a place to run. But there was only on problem, she was on the roof, & there was nothing there!

"Yes Lilly, it is I Lord Voldemort"

"Well what do you want?" she said rolling her eyes.

"See, you have been avoiding my calls for a long time, can you not fell it?"

"Like duh! Stupid of course I can fell it, my arm stings! Hello, do you have a mental problem or something, I AM NOT GOING TO BE A DEATH EATER ANYMORE!!!!!!!!" she was now very angry. " And there is not more of me kissing your sorry butt!"

"You trashy little girl. Don't you get the tone with me & don't dare talk to me like that!"

"I can, & I will" she was going to get her wand 'Oh crude, I don't have it'. She thought. Voldemort couldn't take it any more. Lilly felt hands go tightly around her neck. She was now over the rocks, nothing to put her feet on,

"You have a choice, be with me, or die," he said coldly.

"Die" she said weakly. He let go of her. She was screaming. Right before she would have hit the rocks, she felt someone grab her. She didn't know who it was & didn't care. She was holding them tight afraid to let go.

She woke up. She was in the hospital wing. She heard someone crying. She looked over & saw JoElla. She sat up. JoElla noticed this.

"Lilly, oh Lilly why didn't you tell me?" she said with tears running down her cheeks.

"I thought you wouldn't think of me as the same person. I am so sorry" she said now tears running down her cheeks.

"I was confused. Lost in my emotions. I don't know who I am anymore. & it scares me."

"Look Lilly, we can work through this together. We have before, & we will now." JoElla now had a smile on her face.

"Thanks, you are the only person that has ever been there for me." Lilly said.

"It's going to stay that way"

JoElla was leaving in Draco's strong arms (sorry I could resist). She stared at the ceiling for a while. She heard footsteps. She looked up at an angry Harry 'Oh god!' she was thinking to herself.

"How could you not tell me? How come you told Draco & not me?"

"I was afraid," she yelled.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Everything. I am afraid to live, to wake up. I am afraid that I will die. I almost did! I can't think straight. He is making my life so hard. I hate it!" she screamed.

"But why couldn't you tell me?"

"Don't you get it? Your life would have been in danger! Like right now! You wouldn't understand, I can't explain it. You will find out soon enough" she said calm. "You know, this isn't going to work. I'm sorry."

"Why?" he said shocked.

"When I thought I was going to die. I wasn't thinking of who I thought I would. I'm sorry."

"Fine, but my love for you will never change. Remember that."

"I will"

He walked of leaving Lilly alone to think.
