I don't own Harry Potter.
On Saturday Lily sat in her room wearing one of the dresses that she had been given by Sara Potter. It was a black dress that was probably used for other funerals, Lily smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't look anything like Mrs. Potter did. Sara had blonde hair and blue eyes, Lily's red and green eyes stood out among the black. Lily had put her hair in a perfect bun on top of her head and had used some make up to subdue her eyes.
James hadn't really gotten any better. He had lounged around all week not bathing or even really talking to anyone but Lily or Sirius. Remus and Sirius had come back yesterday to spend time with James and Harry. Lily tried to stay out of their way; she was trying to find a job.
Lily found a job at a little bookstore in London and found that she liked the little place a lot. The books were old and midevil and the owner understood that she couldn't start for a few days.
Lily met James at the bottom of the stairs and they left together. Both wearing black. James was wearing a black suit, his mother would have been proud, except that it was a sad occasion.
Lily could already feel the tears welling up in the back of her sockets. She wanted to be strong for her friends but she didn't know how much longer she could take it.
James was starting to wonder when Lily would lose it. But he didn't think on it to much because he was busy thinking about all the good times that he had had with his mother and father.
When they got to the church in which Sara's funeral was to be James held Lily's hand as they walked to the front row. Some of Sara's family members gave Lily evil looks; they didn't think it was appropriate for Lily to be able to sit in the front row. But Harry and James thought it to be the best. Lily was part of the family along with Sirius and Remus who also sat in the front row. Lily didn't want to cry, she kept telling herself not to cry.
'But why not?' Lily asked herself. 'Why cant I cry. I practically lost my mother and when I really did lose my real parents I cried but why cant I cry now. Now for the person that was more a mother to me than any other person I have ever known.' Lily thought to herself.
James let go of Lily's hand; he didn't want to hurt her. He felt as though he was somewhere else, somewhere where he didn't have to be seeing what he was seeing. He was at his mother's funeral and he was still in denial.
Lily was staring straight forward not looking at anyone, just staring at some imaginary image on the back wall. James could tell that she was trying to be the strong person that everyone thought she was. He almost laughed at the irony in it all. Lilys parents die and she bawls her eyes out, James' mother dies and she holds it in. James figured out a long time ago that when Lily was feeling really strong emotions she would hold them in until they almost consumed her. James wished that it wouldn't hurt her.
Everyone watched as Dumbldore stood before everyone else and presented the eulogy. Lily wasn't paying attention, along with most of the people in the front row.
".never was taken off guard she died in the way that any of us would want to go out, With a bang." Dumbldore went and sat down. This was the time when people were supposed to get up and talk about Sara. Lily stood up, she wanted to say a few words, as Lily walked up to the podium people started to cry. They knew that when Lily Evans accepted the fact that Sara Potter was gone, that she was really gone. But James didn't want to believe it, he couldn't believe it.
"Sara Potter was one of the biggest influences in my life. She helped me to realize that I wasn't the tomboy that I pretended to be. She told me to be myself and to never give up on people. I am the person I am today because Sara was there for me, she was the greatest person I have ever known." Lily couldn't hold the tears back she needed to get away. "Thank you." She barely choked out. She ran from the church and into the cemetery that was just behind it. She was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath.
She sat down next to an old tree and let all the emotions she was feeling fall to the ground and be absorbed by a higher power, mother earth. Lily cried until she heard the church bells ring, no one chased after her, and she was glad of it.
Lily walked back to the church and found that James, Sirius and Remus had waited for her. She walked straight up to James and hugged him as hard as she could. Than she hugged Sirius and Remus in the same fashion, She loved her friends.
They all got into the limo and drove back to Potter Mansion for the reception. Lily didn't feel up to spending time with people that saw her run out of the church. James, Sirius, Remus and Lily went to their secret place and that is where they stayed for the rest of the night. Neither of them saying anything, but absorbing each other's presence. Lily fell asleep on the ground next to the fire and James behind her. Sirius fell asleep on the couch and Remus on the floor in the back half of the room.
