Summary: Lily Evans has never understood the reason behind James Potters tactics, and James has never understood why Lily always hated him. Everyone has changed because of Voldemort. Are these tragedies bringing everyone closer? or not? Plz review... i'm open to constructive critisism.

Disclaimer: In my dream world, I own Harry Potter. There is no world hunger, and George Bush isn't President. I'm rich and have no problems, and I get to meet Blink 182... but guess what. This isn't my dream world. So unfortunately J.K Rowling owns Harry Potter, people are starving, sadly.... George Bush is Presdient tears, I'm not rich, I have tons of problems, and I haven't been able to meet Blink 182. So please don't sue, I have nothing of great importance, well except my lovely dream world and my friends. But you don't want those... you want money. The only money I can give you is my lunch money and the 20 dollars worth of change in my piggy bank and underneath the couch. Oh, and if I was rich, I'd have a decent computer at the least. So without further ado.... my fanfiction.

A/N: Ok, not a long wait, hell not even a full 24 hours, anyways.... here you go.

Livie: Yeah, it is... shuffles to get OotP exactly 870 pages.... thanks, I was just too lazy to get out of my chair the other day... too long of a walk to my bedroom.

tn: I'll have to agree with you, Tennessee does rock, my family's been going there for like 22 years and now my borther has moved up there. But I usually get bored, I like it down here in Florida, but I'd rather go to the lake than the beach anytime.

songwithoutwordz: Thanks, but sadly.... Heather is staying in.... well lets just say europe grins mischeviously mhwawaawa, lol j/k. Um, when i went to Tennesee I went to Byrdstown, Cosby(its right outside of gatlinburg), and Rockwood. But, I went to byrdstown b/c I went to the Star Point Resort and went out on Dale Hollow Lake.

vizzy-vicky-lou : Thank you thank you.... bows hat falls off blushes and runs off stage and for you my darling... lol couldn't resist, I've written more..YAY!!!!

Running Out of Days

Chapter 5

Lily was once again sitting on her window seat. Ocassionally stealing glances at Heather who was sleeping peacefully on Lily's bed. Heather still hadn' told Lily what happened, and Lily was worried. Something happened to her.... and it's eating her away.

DING

Lily jumped, it had to be what, 8 PM. No one ever comes to see her. Lily grabbed her wand from the side of her bed and went to the door. She felt as if she was acting childish, Lily became paranoid as she went nearer to the door, thoughts ran through her mind...

It's probably just a salesman...

At 8 o'clock.... gee maybe they're selling nightcaps

Oh shut up, you know, I could do with a night cap....

'Ok Lily calm down, you want to become an auror. Well you can't become one if you don't know what to do in a situation like this.'

Lily finally calmed down enough to look through the window, clearly expecting to see the edge of a cloak, clearly not expecting to see jeans and a pair of old sneakers. 'If only they turned around so I could see them.' Then she saw it, a wand sticking out of the persons back pocket.

DING-DONG

The doorbell rang again. 'Ok, I'll open the door with my wand out' She put her left hand on the door knob, her right one steadily holding her wand."1, 2, 3." She opened the door, her wand pointed in the wizard's face. It was one of the least people she suspected.....

------------------------

Meanwhile...

Heather lay up in Lily's room, awoken by a nightmare. She layed there pondering her nightmare, listening to the dorrbell ringing, and then the sound of Lily yelling. That was when it all came rushing back to her. For some reason, as she layed sleeping, all her worries were gone, but now they flooded back into her mind, along with some new ones. She had the most peculiar dream... kinda of like a muggle picture show, she was shown flashes and bits of pieces.

Lily and James out in the snow.

Heather kissing Sirius on the quidditch pitch.

Sirius surrounded by dementors.

Heather kneeling over her younger brothers dead body.

Heather hexing a third year slytherin.

Peter Pettigrew lieing on the floor in a dusty old house, the wands of Remus and Sirius pointed at him.

Heather, holding a baby boy while James standing next to her, and Lily lieing in a hospital bed.

And then, Lily and James lieing dead in the ruins of a house, the same baby boy at the hospital lay crying, wrapped in blankets.

But, the last part was what woke her up, Lily and James being buried, right next to her....
