message:
Diamond Dust: I understand what you mean, but in my opinion, as he
wanted to destroy as many lives as possible, if he sends them letters,
it won't just destroy Zani, James and Sirius's lives, it will also
destroy Lily and Bella's. But this is just my opinion, and you are of
course entitled to have yours too! :)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Marie was staring out the window. Rain was trickling down the window, as if the sky was crying the tears Marie could not. Marie could see a little girl, running around, away from her mother, jumping in puddles as she went.
'If only I could be carefree like that again', Marie thought, 'When my biggest enemy was my mother when she wouldn't let me eat the last cookie from the cookie jar'.
She turned around, only to see a picture of Zani on her bedside table.
'Oh Zani' she thought, 'Why you? Why did it have to be you? Out of everyone! Why not me?'
Those words had rung in her head the past twelve hours since she found out about Zani's disappearance. 'Why not me?'
'I would be so much easier to kill, too, I couldn't fight Lily, let alone Him!' Marie thought sadly.
She got up from the chair she'd been sitting on, and looked into her mirror.
'I mean look at me,' she thought, 'I even look weak!'
Marie was very skinny, and was quite tall. She had long blonde hair and pale blue eyes that always seemed to look as though she would burst into tears any second, even when she cracked a rare smile. She took on the appearance of being weak, because she was one of those people who look like that if you shook them they might break.
Marie turned around. Her muggle radio was softly playing. She listened for a second...
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive...
'That is exactly how I feel' Marie thought. 'This all doesn't seem real. I don't want it to feel real'.
Just then, Marie heard a crack, then another crack, then another crack, and then another crack. Marie knew what those cracks were. They were the sound of someone apparating.
'What if it's the ministry, coming to tell us she's dead? What if they found her body, and they want me to identify her? What if it's Him?' Marie thought crazily, as the door to her room opened, creaking.
"Marie?" Lily asked. Marie turned around. "Oh Lily!" she cried, and gave her a big hug, then started to cry.
"Shh, Marie, it's ok! She's gonna be ok!" Lily said comfortingly.
But Marie continued to cry, as Bella, Sirius and James entered the room.
'What are they doing here?' Lily thought, 'They aren't really close to Marie - oh, right, Sirius is Zani's cousin!'
Marie looked up as she heard the door close behind James, and saw Sirius standing there.
"Oh Sirius! I'm so sorry!" she cried, and gave him a hug.
"Marie, I'm ok! It's you we're worried about!" Sirius said, and looked at the picture of Zani. "You and Zani" he said, and he let go of Marie, just as they heard another crack outside the door. Seconds later Remus appeared at the doorway, and Marie went up to him and hugged him.
"R...Remus I'm s...so g...glad y...you're here!" Marie said, as she knew that Remus, at least, would know how she was feeling, as he was Zani's boyfriend.
Remus hugged Marie comfortingly, and then gave Sirius a friendly hug too.
"She'll be alright, mate," Remus whispered in Sirius's ear.
"I hope so," Sirius whispered back.
As they let go, they realized that Marie would take a lot more convincing to believe that Zani would be ok, so they put their arms around her and sat her down on the bed, telling her everything they had thought about in the past twelve hours, trying to make her feel better.
Lily, James and Bella realized they should leave the other three alone for a while, so they slowly walked out of Marie's bedroom.
As soon as they walked out of Marie's bedroom, they were met by Sirius's cousin and Zani's sister, Andromeda (Andy).
Andy greeted them cordially, and then entered the room the other three had just left.
Bella turned to the other two and said she needed to go to the bathroom, as her face was all puffy from crying, and she continued her way downstairs.
Lily looked around sadly, as if she was trying not to cry.
"Lils, don't cry, you look much prettier when you smile," James said, giving her a comforting smile.
"JAMES POTTER! I KNEW YOU WERE INSENSITIVE, BUT I THOUGHT YOU COULD AT LEAST STOP TRYING TO CRACK ONTO ME WHEN MY FRIEND IS OUT THERE BEING TORTURED BY THE MOST EVIL AND SECOND MOST POWERFUL WIZARD IN THE WORLD!" Lily shouted menacingly.
"Evans I-''
"I THOUGHT YOU JUST GOT OVER THE EVANS THING! YOU JUST CALLED ME LILS! AND DON'T MAKE UP SOME STUPID EXCUSE, POTTER, YOU'RE HORRIBLE AT LYING!" Lily shouted, interrupting James.
"LILY I WASN'T TRYING TO CRACK ONTO YOU, OK? I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU! MARIE AND BELLA HAVE BEEN CRYING THEIR HEARTS OUT, BUT YOU HAVEN'T SHED A TEAR!" James shouted back at her.
"OH SO YOU WANT ME TO CRY! RIGHT!" Lily shouted, and then turned around to leave for the bathroom.
"No Lily, I just want you to un-bottle your emotions, or you're going to kill someone with all the anger you've got kept inside you!" James said calmly, attempting to calm Lily down.
Lily turned around. "Why do you even care, James?" she asked bitterly.
"You wouldn't care if I told you," James replied, just as bitter.
"No really James, humor me," Lily said sarcastically.
"Lily you wouldn't care! You hate me! And you have every reason to! I've been a complete jerk to you since we met! Why the hell would you give a damn about my feelings?" James asked her, not expecting an answer, and turned to leave.
"James, I don't hate you," Lily said softly.
James turned around. "Lily, don't lie, I know you hate me," James said, and he turned around again, and walked up the stairs to Marie's bedroom, and closed the door behind him as he entered her room.
Lily slumped against the wall, and began to cry.
'Everything is so messed up!' she thought, then buried her head in her hands, crying harder than before. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
