It Will Pass
Mikia
She stared down at the dimmed orb waiting for anything, even maybe a shift of cloud.
"This is so stupid," she muttered and quietly continued to watch the unchanging crystal ball. Yet, the clouds started to shift in a swirling array revealing what looked like another orb, yet dancing in a white brilliance. As though she was on the verge of something happening, she bent closer to peer into the cloudy mystery.
"Prof-"she started but silence engulfed her and entered her eyes into a place that was unknown to her. It was a nursery; the white walls were painted with red balloons while the floor was scattered with toys. The room was comforting yet silent against the soft melody of the music box.
A soft whimper caused her back to turn to the white posted crib in the corner. Curiosity stung her, carrying her footsteps trailed over to the crib meeting a very awake baby boy who was currently staring at the ceiling. He smiled as her head appeared above him; his arms reaching up to her. Her grim expression broke into a smile at the sweet boy.
A bang interrupted her moment of innocence and her head shot towards the closed door. A man was yelling, and then footsteps echoed through the hall entering the room as well. She backed up against the wall right next to the crib and beheld what was before her.
A woman ran into the room, her red flay way hair covering her bright green eyes. Gasping for breath, the woman sprinted across the room to the crib, picking up the curious baby boy into her strong arms.
'Dear Jesus, she looks like-"but her thoughts remained incomplete, and remained that way-never finished. Her pupils went small as a red flash of light illuminated the room causing the door to collapse. The woman clutched her baby closer to her chest staring up at the dark cloaked murderer.
"Leave us be! Leave him alone!" the woman cried, turning her back to grab something.
'A wand-she's a witch?' the girl fazed but once again her thoughts were interrupted when the cloaked figure also pulled out wand.
She stared as the woman screamed at the dark one, until finally; he became restless with the futile attempts to save her son. Raising his wand at the horror stricken woman, the girl heard the low shout of "Avada Kedavra" that issued from his hidden face. The woman gave out a terrifying scream; turning her back at the last minute cover her child. The girl's hand clasped over her mouth, her eyes widening in fear. She wanted to scream, but it never came out. Her breaths were starting to become short as the woman collapsed never to move again.
Yet, a small movement came from underneath the motionless woman, a gasp escaping from the girl's lips as she watched the baby boy crawl from beneath his mothers' lifeless body. His dashing green eyes went from her to the cloaked figure, until finally he sat down to the mercy of the killer of his parents.
The cloak figured raised his wand once again, pointing the menacing thing directly to the boy's head. The girl' eyes widened even more as the baby could did nothing but stare at the monster that would prepare his fate. The same terrorizing words flew from the mouth of the murder bound man-filling the room with the green brilliance that took the life from the baby's mother. The girl finally screamed; her hands clawing her face as the room was blinded with light. The scream kept coming; until a strong pair of hands gripped her shoulders shaking her to come back to what was real.
Her eyes popped open to see James' face gentle framed eyes looking down at her. She forced a smile, before spoiling it remembering from what she saw.
The images overwhelmed her to the point she pulled herself up to make sure everything was real. She gazed around the room, acknowledging her surroundings. James' three friends gazed at her in a worried kind of face, while James' grip on her shoulder kept its place. Then the images came back.
"Oh my God! What happened to the baby?" she screamed pulling her hair in the process.
"What baby?" her professor asked.
"The baby-the baby in the nursery!" she yelled louder this time. The room went silent, all eyes went to the stunned professor who she herself, couldn't think up of anything to say.
"We'll discuss this after class Miss. Evans," she finally spoke, the worry obvious in her voice.
"Yes Professor," she croaked, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
'God, I'm shaking like crazy,' she thought staring down at her hands.
"C'mon Lily, it'll pass," James whispered comfortingly, helping her to her feet. His quickly pecked her on the lips, before turning away blushing. She also felt the blood resuming its normal flow, yet the screaming re-entered her mind that would haunt her until the end of her days.
"That poor baby….."
A/N: YES!! I FINALL GOT THIS TYPED!! Goodness gracious, I was like going bonkers trying in Korea because I really wanted to get his one typed up and now that I'm home I finally did! Yay! Okay, quick note: I don't own HP, and originally, I wrote this during the school year before the 5th HP book came out, so I did some editing so the facts matched up. Some of it still doesn't because I wanted to keep the basic plot so that should explain some things. Random thought: TONKS/LUPIN RULES!!! Okay got that out of my system. Please R/R!!*I thought that mean Ron/Ron at first Oo;*
