Powers Array, Death and Friendship
Lily and Sydney went to the room. When they got there they flopped down on two chairs.
"Sometimes I wonder if these powers are worth the hassle" lily sighed
"I know we can't tell anyone and we could accidentally hurt someone we love severely." Sydney agreed
"Do you ever get the feeling that were going to end up dying because of them?" lily asked
"I don't know about the dying past but it feels like something bad will end up happening."
"Maybe if we just went to a desert island nothing would happen."
"Ya then we could get awesome tans and natural highlights in our hair. We could meet handsome island natives who are strong and manly unlike the wimps here." Sydney said
"Come on I'm being serious" lily said
"So am I if we have to go into exile why not do it in style?" Sydney said with a strait face. She was trying to cheer lily up who was acting depressed "come on its not that bad at least we can hang out with the guys. And we turned Malfoy into a rabbit how much better can it get?"
About that time the Mauraders ran in waving a picture around "look at this you only turned Malfoy's body into a rabbit not his head." The picture was shoved in their faces.
"Think of the blackmail possibilities" Sirius face looked like Christmas had come early.
"This is great we could put it all around school" Remus couldn't help but smile.
"You forgot everyone is having his or her memories modified" Sydney pointed out
"Darn well we will at least know what happened" James tried to make the situation better.
"We could send it to Malfoy as a threat to what could happen." Sirius suggested
"Also he will wonder how we changed the picture. If we put it up everyone would wonder and they couldn't not prove we did it." Lily cracked a mischievous smile
The boys spent the rest of the day entertaining lily and Sydney. They had a chess tournament, planned pranks and even put on a play for them. It was called the kings paper. Sirius was the king with a crown and robe sitting on his throne. He asked for his paper. Remus brought his a newspaper, James brought him a quill and parchment, Remus then brought him wrapping paper each time Sirius turned it away. It went on for a while until James finally brought him toilet paper. The girls were highly amused. Then Sirius had the idea for then to create a music video. They all agreed so they didn't die of boredom. They picked out a song that lily and James could sing to. Sydney, Remus and Sirius were backup and dancers. They worked out a routine. They had so much fun they broke into two groups to compete and see who could make the best one. It was lily and Sydney together with Remus, James and Sirius on the other team. The girls chose destiny child's song "survivor" while the guys did "jaded". They couldn't decide who was better so they switched groups again. Lily and James were together and sung, "Come what may". With Sydney, Remus and Sirius on the other team singing "its gotta be you". They finally fell asleep in a pile with the music full blast.
The next morning they woke up late in was Sunday and got up slowly. When they went down to breakfast some on the students were still disoriented a little.
Sirius without thinking jumped up on his chair "good morning all me and my friends have scheduled a little entertainment for you thing morning if you would like." The students cheered. "Well by some miracle we found time to put together a little dance routine. At the end we will have you vote to say what you like best."
He jumped down lily grabbed him "what are you talking about?" she said
"Our dance routines" he cleared off a section of the table and told them to get on. Music started playing, lily and Sydney magically changed their clothes and they started. At first the hall was quiet then they got in the mood. Next lily and Sydney did survivor and changed their clothes again. Lily focused on Tim when she sang. Then jaded played the guys had instruments they played also. Then lily and James went and sang all the students saw something the two of them didn't. Then the other group went and together they did another song. When they were don't and breathing hard Stormie jumped up on the stage "lets hear it for them" everyone clapped "now I believe Sirius wanted you to vote for your favorite song. As I say them clap for your favorite." She went through the titles everyone clapped for the first and the last. The 2nd and 3rd were split along gender lines. They were amazed by their voices when they were singing.
"Thank you for the entertainment but I have an announcement, because of yesterdays mishap with the bludger that attacking the crowd. The Quidditch game has been rescheduled for next weekend. Hopefully this time there will be no incidents." Dumbledore said
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Can you believe the year is already done?" Sydney asked as they stepped on the Hogwarts Express to go home.
"No it seems like just yesterday we won the Quidditch cup" James said
"I know winning the house cup was amazing too" lily said
"What are we going to do this summer?" Sirius asked
Lily's parents were spending the summer in America where Mr. Evans had business and was setting up a new company. Lily was staying with the potters so she could keep in touch with the wizarding world and she would be safe there. The potters took great care of her and she could go home to her house whenever she needed anything. Lily got letters from her parents every week telling her what was going on and how petunia was who went with them. On week in July lily didn't get her letter on schedule. She was worried at first but then brushed it off. Later that day she got a call. It was from her mother.
"Hello lily."
"Hi mom, what's up? I didn't get my letter yesterday."
"I know I'm sorry darling. I don't know how to say thing but yesterday your father was hit."
"What, is he ok? He's not hurt is he?"
"He was hurt badly. The car he was in was totaled. A drunk driver hit him when he was coming home from a business meeting. He died early this morning from severe injured."
There was silence on the other end of the line, then muffled crying and a clatter was heard when the phone dropped. Mrs. Potter picked the phone up.
"Hello what happened?"
Mrs. Evans then explained the situation and that they were coming home and the funeral would be next week.
Lily just ran she didn't know where she was going she just ran like something was chasing her. Her tears had stopped but she knew when she stopped running they would be back two fold. She ran into something firm but squishy. As she stumbled backwards arms wrapped around her. She started crying again not caring. She heard a voice.
"Lily what's wrong? It'll be ok."
"No it wont James, he's gone. He left without saying good bye."
"Who left little flower?"
"Daddy! He's gone. They took him and I didn't get to day goodbye."
James led lily to a chair he sat down and let her sit on his lap and just cry. He didn't know what to do and didn't want to upset her more. Finally she fell asleep with her head on his shoulder. He could magically heal physical injured but he couldn't help her pain and heal it he though but he could try. Very gently he lifted her up and floated her to her bed where he sat her down. He mentally called Sydney and had her cast a sleeping spell on lily. They went to see Mrs. Potter and ask what happened. When she was done explaining they were sad for lily. They knew how much she loved her dad and looked up to him. When their mom was done explaining they went up to lily's room and had the house elf bring up some food. Sydney took the sleeping spell and they just watched her.
Slowly lily woke up and looked at Sydney and James "I just had the worst dream." She looked at them "it wasn't a dream was it?" They shook their heads no. They could feel her pain and she could feel how much they loved her.
Without any words James and Sydney sat next to lily on the bed and hugged her. Lily was sad but her friends filled the void her father left. They ate in silence but words weren't needed, even without powers they knew how each was feeling and enjoyed each others company and comfort.
The week till the funeral was a quite one. Sad but no tears fell from lily's eyes. She wrote a poem to read at the funeral that showed how she felt.
When the day came she rode with James and Sydney in the back seat of the potters car to the church. Remus and Sirius were there also and sat with the potters. Lily sat in the front with her family but James and Sydney refused to leave her and sat with her. The service began and lily's mother and sister were crying but lily and but lily did not. Finally her turn came to speak she stood up and walked to the podium.
"Hello thank you for all being here. I know you all loved my father like I did and knew how wonderful he was. I wrote a poem I would like to read.
My Dad Yesterday life was great, I could laugh with friends and play, Sleep till the next day, When I was hurt go to daddy and cry, He would make it better and I could fly, He was my rock, He stood out in any flock.
Today he is missing, Before his time taken from me, I will not cry or flee, He taught me rules, To cry when I was hurt but also laugh with fools, He taught me not to give up, And how it is time to grow up.
Tomorrow will come I cant stop that, With his memory I will live, And glad I could have every moment he would give, My tears I have shed, Like rivers they gushed from my head, Of him every one was very fond, He is missing now but not really gone."
Lily got down and went back to sit down. James and Sydney put their arms around her. When the service was done they went to the cemetery. The casket was lowered down. As lily leaned over to thrown down one white lily a single tear fell from her eye and landed on the casket with the lily.
Lily rode back to the potter's house with James and lily. Lily's mother could not yet go back to her house and was to caught up in her own grief to care for lily.
In the weeks before she went back to Hogwarts she returned to normal but started living by a new motto "live life to the fullest, never have regrets and show love to those you care about." She started taking more risks and telling those friends she had how much she loved them.
