Title: Life's a Bitch

Chapter 14: Saying Good Bye and Disgusting!

James and Lily have been going out for quite a while now. They had a few bumps along the way, but they had a very large trust bond in each other and they didn't believe every attempt thrown at them to split them up.

It is now a month before school is going to end and Fettie is leaving. They are outside of Hogwarts saying good bye to Fettie.

"Are you positive you have to leave?" Lily asked for the umpteenth time.

"I wish I didn't have to, but I do."

"Will you be coming back?" Sirius asked.

"Only time will tell, Sirius."

During this whole time, they didn't notice that one person was missing. Actually they hadn't noticed him the whole year. They really didn't care because so much drama had taken place.

After ten minutes of trying to find a loop hole so that Fettie didn't have to leave, Dumbledore came out and said that the carriage would be arriving soon and that they would have to go back into school.

"Why can't we stay out and watch as she leaves?" Remus asked politely.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lupin, but we wouldn't want any of you to do something inappropriate to the carriage."

James and Sirius snapped their fingers. "Damn."

Lily and Fettie hugged one last time and then there was a group hug. "Hey Lily could I speak with you for a moment over there?"

Lily nodded and walked with Fettie over to the place Fettie pointed at.

"Please don't leave Fettie." Lily begged.

"Lily give up. I have to go. I'm sorry. I just want to tell you that there maybe troubles in your life where you will think that it's too hard to get over, but believe me you will. Yes it will take some time, but I know that you will over come it."

They hugged again and went back to the group.

"Ok students, I need you all back in the school."

They groaned but left. They walked as slowly as they could, but Dumbledore made sure they were all in there as Fettie left. "Good-bye" Fettie whispered as her carriage started.

Lily and the Marauders entered the common room to find that only one person was there and it was a disgusting site. Bruce, the underground master, was hanging from the ceiling from a rope around his neck. Lily gasped and ran over to him. James held Bruce while Sirius untied him.

They put Bruce on the floor. Lily put her hand on his head only to snatch it away. "Oh my god, he's cold as hell!" Lily swore.

"Come on lets take him to the Hospital Wing." Remus suggested. Lily shook her head, "We can't. Bruce was a student here and they would ask questions on why he's back and Dumbledore doesn't know."

"Then what are we going to do?" James asked. A second after James said that, the bitches came down the stairs. "Oh my god! Bruce. What happened to him?" Slutmantha exclaimed as she and Asslisa ran to his side. Lily stared at them confused. She thought that they would have accused Lily of doing something to Bruce. I guess they're not that bad. Lily thought.

Unfortunately she spoke too soon, Asslisa jumped up and pointed an accusing finger at Lily and shouted, "You did this to him," Just as students began coming into the common room. A couple of them gasped and others looked at Lily shocked.

She jumped up and shouted back, "Don't you dare blame this on me! For all we know it could have been you two. It would fit just fine because you guys did want the spot!"

Slutmantha jumped in and hollered at Lily, "We aren't that desperate for the spot! And why would I hex my ex-boyfriend!"

"I don't know! You ARE mental after all. Who knows what goes on in that blonde, dumb ass head of yours?"

Slutmantha gasped and pulled up her sleeves, "That's it! You have just gone over the line. I challenge you Lily Evans to a life to death battle tonight!"

Lily took a step back, "Whoa, are you serious. You think that you're strong enough to beat me in a LIFE TO DEATH BATTLE! You are mental."

"Yeah at least I have friends who stick by me through thick and thin unlike you. You and your asshole of a friend claim to be best friends. Yeah well where is she now? Huh? Where is she ever when you need help?"

Lily threw her hands up in frustration, "I don't need to take this bull shit from you. ONE ON ONE TONIGHT, LIFE TO DEATH BATTLE!" She levitated Bruce's body and headed up to her room with the Marauders following her.

When they got to Lily's room, she put Bruce on her bed and ripped his shirt off. "Uh Lily, that isn't James you know?" Sirius said trying to lighten the moment.

Lily just grunted and conjured up a bowl of water with a towel to put on Bruce's head.

"Lily what's a life to death battle?" James implored.

Lily sighed, "James, I don't think you'll like my answer."

His eyes widened as he now began to understand. A life to death battle was the infamous battles in the underground. They literally fought to the death. Contrary to popular belief, life to death battles was not the battles. The battles it self was just that a battle; where two or more people on a team would fight the opposing with or without weapons. Tonight they were using everything.

"No! I will not let you go." James said sternly.

Lily threw the towel down and hollered, "James Harold Potter! Who in the world do you think you are telling me what to do at a time like this? Look neither I nor Samantha get killed. I'm way more experienced then her so I won't kill her and she won't kill me." She walked over to James and put a hand on his face. "I love you and I won't let Samantha Kramer beat me at my own game."

"I still don't want you to go." James said stubbornly. Lily sighed and her hand fell, "Well its not your choice now is it? I am going whether or not you want me to."

She walked over to her closet and took out a large blanket and a wooden chest. She threw the blanket over to Remus, who instinctively caught it and said, "Keep him warm with that. I'll be back soon."

She began to walk through the door only to not be able to leave, "James let me go. If you want to come you can."

"No Lily, I won't let you."

"James I think you should let her fight her own battles." Sirius said looking at the floor.

Lily and Sirius made quick eye contact and then Sirius acted first. He jumped on James and tackled him to the floor. Lily took out two things out of the wooden chest. An invisibility cloak and a broom. She threw the invisibility cloak over her and flew out of the window to the underground meeting place.

When Lily got there, she looked at her muggle watch. It was only 9:00 P.M so she had about 3 to 5 hours before she had to battle. Lily was going to use her time wisely and train. She had never fought in a battle alone and she was very nervous. She might have been acting all tough in Hogwarts, but on the inside she was scared as hell.

But she knew she had to do it. She had to fight a battle on her own. Without Fettie there to back her up because Fettie isn't there anymore and even if she was she wasn't going to always be around to back Lily up. Most of the time most likely but not always, Fettie does have a life of her own after all.

Lily put on her training uniform and started training. The more she trained, the more she got pumped up and ready to roll.

Hey everyone. I have a lot of explaining to do. I haven't posted under this story in a long time. More like months. Well anyways I had a huge writers block. So I took a friends advice, Punky1, and decided to write other stories and it did help. It gave me more ideas as to what to write and so on. I only have a couple of chapters left in this story and then I'm off to start another Lily and James fic. Its going to be more romance-y and more of the fanfic that will make you cry I guess you can say, but I won't start that one until after summer because I have way too many stories going on and I have to finish them all before I leave to go on va-cay. That's a lot. If anyone has any questions, complaints or whatever put it in your review and I'll post my response on the next chapter which will be on soon. Sorry for the long wait.
