=Chapter 15=
"No means No," Lily whispered fiercely. It was 11:00 PM in the Gryffindor Tower, of May 29. The only two awake were Lily and James; due to the fact that Lily was teaching him the charm they learned might be on the Final Exam. Once again, James asked her out.
"And why not?" James asked, "You know you love me somewhere in that fiery heart of yours.
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"One date?"
"No."
"On come on!"
"No!"
"At least give me an explanation!"
"Keep your voice down. You're going to wake up all the Gryffindors, and if you keep up that loud voice, the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins as well!"
"Fine, fine," He whispered, raising his hands for a surrender, "But at least give me a reason!"
"Fine, fine!" she pondered, "We're finally on talking terms, and I have no problems against that! We've been doing well as friends, can't it stay that way?"
"Fine, but I won't make any promises," he muttered angrily, "I'm getting tired. G'night, you great friend that won't go out with me!"

"What a beautiful day, don't you think?" Belle asked at lunch time the next day. The three girls were resting in the shade, like the rest of the student body. End of the year exams just finished, and the end of the year feast was in 4 days.
Lily watched as a few students played a game of tag, "I agr-"
Laughter came from the east side of the field. The three spun to see a group of Slytherins riding on top of another group of Slytherins. Crawling on the ground in the front was Malfoy. On his back was Snape. Each of them were speaking with a lisp as they screamed out, "JOIN OUR FLAMING GROUP OF THLYTHERINTH ATH WE PLAY THPANK THE THEXY THLITHERINTH! ITH UTTERLY FANTATHTIC!"
Lily looked to the tree across from theirs to see Peter laughing hard, Remus stifling back laughter, and James and Sirius holding out their wands towards the Slytherins.
"What are we doing?" Snape asked. He looked around at the crowds laughing, and then he looked down at Malfoy who was glaring at him.
Professor McGonnagal walked up to James and Sirius after muttering the counter curse. "Come with me," she fumed. Her expression then changed to one of much grief as she looked at Lily, "You must come as well, Ms. Evans."
A perplexed came across her face as she followed.

James watched Lily being led to the corner of Dumbledore's office by McGonnagal. She was handed a letter. He then fixed his gaze on Prof. Dumbledore. "I did it for a reason, I SWEAR!"
"Care to explain?" Dumbledore asked. His eyes were twinkling with laughter behind those half moon spectacles of his.
James and Sirius began to explain different things, as planned. Hoping Dumbledore will just excuse them.
"Snape and Malfoy-"
"Broken broomstick"
"Exploding Toilet"
"Kill"
"You"
They were then silenced by a small sob at the corner of the room. Dumbledore looked over, sadness filled his eyes. Lily then burst out of the room leaving the note behind. James took the note and stuffed it into his pocket when everyone was staring at Sirius who was yelling something about talking poop.

"We haven't seen Lily either," Ness admitted to the marauders, "Let's split up and look for her. If you don't know, she fears heights, and hates cramped places. That should take away from some of the places we were going to look! Let's split up."
And they did.
=
Not knowing where to go, James remembered the note in his pocket. He pulled it out, but it was too blurry to read. Whoever wrote it cried a lot, causing the ink to blur. The main important words were possible to read like 'Nick, and his parents', 'Tour', 'Shipwreck', and the last phrase made James understand completely, 'Nick and His Parents Funeral will be held on June 3.'
=
Lily didn't want to move, may it be from grief, or how she was sitting on top of the astronomy tower, afraid she'd fall of at any minute. Her favorite cousin just died. She played with the necklace he gave her.
She gasped as a hand tapped her on the shoulder. Turning around, she saw James putting down his broom, "I read the note. I'm sorry."
He stayed the rest of the night with her until sure she would be alright.
=
"Bye, Lily. Hope you feel better," Ness and Belle said in unison. The just got off the Hogwarts Express.
"Bye, You guys! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine," She answered truthfully. She walked over to her parents and turning to see the Hogwarts Express one last time before looking at Petunia, she saw James there. Making eye contact, her heart fluttered a bit. "Hi," She said, ignoring that feeling and turning back to her parents.
=
"Would anyone like to say anything about this family?" The priest at the front asked. Mostly everyone at the Funeral was too busy crying.
'If you cry at my funeral, Lils, then I'm going to haunt you so BAD!' Lily remembered Nick saying to her three years ago. She held back her tears and walked up to the front.
"Nick was a very odd person," she began, "So odd; sometimes I'd stay away from him in fear, but no matter how odd he was, I trusted him with my secrets, my heart, and my life. I'll never love any person my age that much." A vision of James comforting her on the roof that day flashed in her mind.
=
Dazed on why that happened, Lily tumbled into her room, and onto her bed. "No matter what it is, it's not love. I do not love James Potter, because I do not love pricks." She told herself over and over. Then different images came up again, like him comforting her that day, guiding her to her surprise party, and then that fake date at the beach. "Fuck," she sighed to herself, "It's love."
A bird pecked at her window. She quietly got up and took the letter from it's leg.
'Dear Lily,
I'm still very sorry for your loss, but I hope that you feel better soon. No matter how crummy you feel, I'll always feel worse than you. We're going to spend the summer with my grandmother again. Wish me luck, like I'm wishing you luck.
- - James
P.S: Don't worry. We can finally live our life as friends. I promise!'
"Dammit," Lily muttered after reading the letter a fourth time, "It may be love, but I've lost my chance."
