Chapter 46- Bloody Valentine
"Do you want me to get lunch for you darling?" asked Remus sweetly as he sat down next to Jamie.
"No thanks, I'm fine," she said. Remus rolled his eyes.
"Are you sure? You didn't have breakfast, you barely had anything for dinner last night. I'm worried about you," Remus brushed her hair out of her eyes and she smiled at him.
"I'm just not feeling well, that's all," she explained. Remus didn't buy it.
"Jamie, you're starving yourself aren't you," it was more of a statement than a question.
"What do you mean? Why would I do that?" she asked, an edge to her voice.
"I don't know, to lose weight for something," he said.
"Does it look like I need to lose weight to you?" she asked.
"No, of course not, you're beautiful," he responded quickly.
"That's what I thought too. I'm not starving myself Remus, I just don't feel well," she said. "Trust me, I would tell you if I was doing something that stupid."
"Okay okay I get it, I believe you," he said, in the tone that stated that he didn't believe her. "So the dance tonight is going to be great, isn't it?"
***
There was a knock at Lily's dormitory door at precisely noon. She had no idea who it could be, her only plans for today were to get ready for the Valentine's Dance at around 6:30 with Jeanine, Lauren and Jamie and then leave with them for the dance. She opened it up to find James with a dozen red rose.
"Happy Valentine's day," he said, handing her the flowers and giving her a kiss on the check.
"Wow, these are amazing!" Lily exclaimed, putting them in the vase by her bed. "I have something for you too." She handed him a wrapped present that, upon opening, turned out to be a scrapbook of pictures of them together, smiling blissfully and waving at the camera. "I was going to wait and give them to you before the dance but since you're here..."
"I love them. Are you ready to go somewhere?" he asked.
"We made plans to go somewhere?" responded Lily, feeling terrible for forgetting.
"No, but I made plans. It's sort of a surprise thing, I hope you don't mind," said James.
"As long as it's not a bad surprise," she said with a sly grin.
"Trust me, it's not a bad surprise. I've come to be your knight in shining armor, the person who will sweep you off your feet and ride you into the sunset. Now come with me, my lovely princess," he lifted her up into her arms and carried her down to the common room. They walked out to the grounds where Lily saw that James really did plan on driving her off into the sunset. In the distance, bright against the cold february sun, was a white carriage complete with two beautiful unicorns, waiting patiently for them to come aboard.
"Oh my God, this is the most amazing Valentine's day ever!" Lily exclaimed as James helped her onto the plush, red seat of the carriage. The unicorns seemed to know exactly where to go as no one was driving them, which left Lily and James free to talk in the seat.
"Do you like it?" James asked.
"Of course I do! This is wonderful, no one has ever done something like this for me before," Lily said, resting her head on his shoulder. James pulled her closer and took out his wand. He moved his wrist about and some words appeared in the sky, written in a shining gold calligraphy.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful red-haired princess who everyone proclaimed to be the fairest maiden in the land.
The words faded away, and new ones took their place.
She had everything she could ever think of, but her prince had gone off on a daring journey and betrayed her.
Lily looked at him, intrigued, and he gestured for her to read on.
The entire time he was out on his journey, he suffered from his action. He managed to defeat the dragon, but the empty space in his heart that the maiden had once nurtured hurt so much that he secretly desired to be slayed.
When he returned to the kingdom, he found that she had grown more beautiful than ever.
He didn't think that the princess would ever be able to love him again, but somehow, as if by magic, she did.
The price loved her with all his heart, and knew that he would give up his very life for her.
So one day, he brought her a single white lily, the most beautiful flower in all the world....
James handed her a lily.
And he told her that he would never leave her for a daring adventure again.
James gave her a soft, passionate kiss and Lily felt as if she was going to melt.
And they lived happily every after.
***
"Oh my God Lily, where have you been?" asked a frantic Lauren, who had finished putting on her makeup and was now assisting Jeanine.
"Out," she said simply, waltzing around the room as if she were dancing on clouds.
"Apparently you had a good time," said Jeanine. "Ow, what are you trying to do to me, stab my eye out with mascara?"
"It was amazing," said Lily, pulling her white dress robes on.
"Where's Jamie?" asked Lauren.
"What do you mean, I thought she was going to get ready with you guys," said Lily.
"Yeah so did we but she didn't show up. We thought she must be out with you," explained Lauren, who was now applying lipstick to Jeanine.
"And I thought that she was here with you. Well maybe she went to someone else's dorm to get ready," said Lily.
"Yeah, I'm sure that must be it. Now hurry and get ready Lily, we have about five minutes until we have to leave," said Lauren. Lily finished dressing and put her makeup on in silence. She decided to just let her hair flow down her back in cascading curls. They walked out to the common room together to meet up with the boys.
"My lady," said James, dropping to his knee and kissing Lily's hand. Lily blushed and giggled.
"Oh looketh, they are courting," said Sirius. He was about to add another sarcastic comment when Remus started to talk.
"Um, you guys? Where's Jamie?" he seemed panicked.
"We don't know. She was supposed to get ready with us and she didn't. We have no idea where she is," explained Jeanine. Remus frowned.
"I bet she's standing me up," he said.
"You're crazy, why would she do that?" asked James. Everyone was intently staring at Remus now, wondering what had happened.
"Well we got into a fight at lunch today, but honestly I didn't think it was such a big deal. It was over something so completely trivial," he expalined. "Why don't you guys go ahead and I'll meet you in there."
The great hall was decorated with thousands of pink and red candles floating along the ceiling. Couples were swaying slowly to the music and love quotes had been magically projected on the walls. They changed about every minute.
"If I could be anything I'd be your tear, so that I could be born in your eyes, live down your check and die on your lips," Sirius whispered.
"You read that off the wall didn't you?" asked Lauren.
"Yeah, but at least the thought was there," Sirius replied. Lauren smiled.
"Sometimes I think that you should just shut up and kiss me."
***
"This is the best Valentine's day I have ever had," Lily said, looking up at James.
"Me too. I love you so much Lily. I really would do anything for you," said James.
"I love you too. I want you to be my prince forever," said Lily.
"I will be. I promise," said James. He was just about to lean in and kiss her when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and found himself looking at Professor McGonagall.
"James, Lily, I need to see you both in Dumbledore's office, it is of extreme importance. I trust that I will be able to meet you there in five minutes," she said, walking quickly away.
"What was that for?" asked Lily.
"I bet I know. We weren't really supposed to be riding off to Hogsmeade today. I guess McGonagall must have found out," he said, although he was sure that wasn't it.
"Are you sure? She didn't sound like she wanted to get us into trouble. It was more like she just needed to talk to us," said Lily, starting to get nervous. "I hope nothing terrible has happened."
"I'm sure nothing happened," James tried to reassure her.
"If nothing happened, if it wasn't that important, McGonagall wouldn't have taken us out of a dance to talk to us. Something must be going on. Something terrible," Lily started shivering from nervousness, and James wrapped a protective arm around her. They arrived at the entrance to Dumbledore's office and saw that Sirius and Lauren were standing there also, and Remus was not far behind them.
"What's going on?" asked James.
"I don't know, but it's not good," said Sirius. "It's definitely not good."
***
"I cannot believe you pulled it off!" exclaimed Nancy, skipping around in the forbidden forest.
"I know! And it was so easily, surprisingly easy," Peter was so giddy with the fact that he had done something terribly wrong. He just couldn't wipe the grin off his face.
"That was a good one Peter. I don't think I could have even pulled it off," said Frederick. In fact, he had done most of the work. You couldn't leave Pettigrew to do something that important. But Peter couldn't comprehend his own stupidity, so Frederick figured he might as well boost the guy's ego a little.
"Thanks," was all he could say.
"Oh, they are going to feel so horrible. They won't know what happened, and they will never find out. We've buried any trail we could possibly have made," said Nancy. "I'm so happy I could kiss you!"
And she did. It was under the moonlight in the forbidden forest that Peter Pettigrew got his very first kiss. People were starting to really like him, and he had kissed a girl. Life had never been better.
***
"Sit down, sit down," said Dumbledore, pointing to the armchairs that surrounded his desk. Lily couldn't help but feel the strangest sense of deja vu.
"Headmaster, what is this about?" asked Sirius.
"I guess I should just get right to the point then. Your friend Jamie..." he started, but he couldn't finish what he had begun to say.
"What about Jamie?" asked Remus, his face becoming completely pale.
"Jamie has gone missing. The signs point to a kidnapping," Dumbledore explained. There was a moment of shocked silence and then Lily spoke softly.
"Kidnapped? How could she have been kidnapped?" she asked.
"Apparently something made her mad, and she ran off into the forbidden forest," said Dumbledore. James looked over at Remus, who looked away. He obviously thought that this was his fault.
"Well what's going on? Do you have people out there looking for her?" asked Lauren. Dumbledore nodded.
"We have some of the best wizards out there looking for her right now, but I have to tell you that a search is not likely to bring up any results. Whoever has her has probably apperated somewhere far away," Dumbledore's blue eyes looked deeply sorry.
"But she's going to be okay, right?" asked Lily. Dumbledore shook his head.
"This looks like the work of Voldemort. He doesn't just keep people alive. In all honestly, I think that she is dead," said Dumbledore. Then everything clicked, and Lily knew where her deja vu was coming from.
"I knew this was going to happen. I dreamed it. Creo que ella esta muerta. I think that she is dead," said Lily. Then she put her face in her hands and cried.
A/N- Well what did you think of that? I've just been letting my fingers do the writing and this is now becoming pretty exciting. Well, I don't have much of an author's note except to say Happy Easter! Please review.
