Ch. 17 I Love You
Sirius, Carly, and Remus searched all over the castle, but found no sign of either Lily or James. They wearily made their way back to the common room around eleven thirty at night in hope that James had found Lily.
James on the other hand, had left the Great Hall in time to see the great oak doors swing close, and knew Lily must have gone outside. He quickly followed, but as soon as he got outside, he was stuck by the bitter coldness of the snow. He charmed his glasses to repel the snow, just as he saw a flash of red hair in the blizzard. He followed it, trudging through the now knee-high snow. But, alas the snow was too hard, and he lost track of her.
Later on, James could've sworn he'd walked around in circles for hours, searching for Lily. In reality, it was only twenty minutes, but when you're cold, even seconds feel like days. He had time to think though.
Poor Lily. She must feel so alone, all of a sudden knowing that her parents are dead and that her sister hates her. I hope she knows that we're all here for her. She really loved her parents, I know she did. I can't imagine how it must feel to know you never got to say one more good- bye to someone you loved before they were killed.
And in a split second, James understood what he needed to do. He needed to tell her he loved her. That he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He had to, if he never wanted to regret not telling her. What if something ever happened to either one of them, and he never told her that her that he loved her? He'd regret it more than anything. He knew what he had to do.
He found her some time later, curled in a ball on the Quidditch Pitch, sobbing uncontrollably. He sunk down to his knees behind her and embraced her in a huge bear hug. Lily jolted around, to see who was hugging her.
"James." She whispered, feebly, and as if she weren't totally there consciously. "James, they...they're gone."
"Lily?"
"Hmm?" Her reply came distantly.
"Lily, I love you."
