Disclaimer: Yes Yes it all belongs to Jk I know I know!! Without her there would be no Harry Potter at all.

Chapter Two: Truth and Unnecessary Trouble.

"So Lil, what happened"? Arabella asked stopping Lily from going into the bathroom the next morning.

"We really should have talked to you about it last night but we figured you had enough on your back to deal with already. But we can tell that you need to talk to someone. And don't start the bullshit about you running into a door because we know it isn't true". Liz said while rummaging through her trunk for something.

"Really guys nothing is wrong." Lily didn't get it. Why couldn't her friends just leave her be. Sure her friends were right. She really didn't run into a door. But she didn't want them to worry. Besides all she would really get from them was sympathy, she really wouldn't be able to get any big help from them. There was nothing they could do about it.

Arabella grabbed Lily's arm and turned her away from the bathroom. She sat her down on her bed where Liz was now sitting.

"Spill" Arabella said right into Lily's face.

"Nothing is wrong with me guys!" She said a little too harshly to her friends.

"You know what Lily? We would normally back down seeing as you're going to start with the bitchy mood, but it isn't going to work this time!" Arabella shouted back at Lily.

Lily just sat there for a couple of minutes staring at Liz and Arabella. She could tell by the look on their faces, that Arabella was right. They weren't going to back down on her.

Lily sighed. "Ok if I tell you guys you got to promise not to tell anyone. You got to keep it a secret and not tell ANYONE" She stressed that word because she knew Arabella had the tendency to blab to James and them when they wanted to know something. Probably, because she had the biggest crush on Sirius Black. If only he knew that.

"Alright we wont tell anyone Lily..RIGHT ARABELLA?" Liz shouted at Arabella and poked her. She was caught up in a fly flying around the room.

Arabella snapped out of her little Trans.

"Alright I won't tell anyone. Just promise you will tell the truth and not lie".

"Ok" Lily said. She took a deep breath.

"Lucius did this to my face". She said ignoring the very shocked faces of Arabella and Liz.

"And he did this". Lily pulled off her sweater to reveal a blue tank top underneath. But it wasn't the top that caught Liz and Arabella's eyes. It was all the bruises on both arms that started from the shoulder and went almost all the way down to her wrists revealing only some of her somewhat light tanned skin.

Then Lily pulled up her top a bit to show them her stomach. It had three little bruises on it and one large one right in the middle.

Lily decided to get everything in the open just so there were no surprises later.

So with that she turned around and showed her friends her back. That too was covered in bruises.

Then she showed them her legs and all the bruises that covered them up.

Liz and Arabella were speechless. They couldn't believe that Lily's whole body, almost every inch of it was covered in bruises.

Liz was the first one to speak. "OH MY GOD..Lily you got to tell someone right now!"

"I'll kill him!" Arabella yelled and jumped off of the bed.

Lily grabbed Arabella and pulled her back down though just in time.

"You can't" Lily said in a nervous tone. "You both promised you wouldn't. Guys please don't tell. It will just make things worse. Please" Lily begged them.

"We didn't know it was this serious" Liz said putting her hand on Lily's shoulder.

"You're going to have to tell someone eventually. If you don't, it's just going to get worse". Arabella warned Lily.

"I already told you and Liz. Isn't that enough?" Lily was starting to yell. She really didn't mean to. She was just scared that her friends would tell Dumbledore or someone and she didn't want them too. She just didn't want to make it worse with Lucius. Maybe just maybe if she started acting how he would like her too, it would all go away.

"Well now you need to tell someone who can give you proper help" Liz said in a calm tone trying to keep everything cool.

"Guys please don't. Please just not yet at least. I'll probably tell someone later if it gets any worse. But can we just leave it as it is. Just between us for now? "

Both Arabella and Liz sighed but agreed to keep it just between them. After all, it should be up to Lily and not Arabella and Liz.

"How about breakfast?" Arabella said on a happier note.

"Ok" Lily and Liz said in unison.

"Actually just go ahead I'll be down in a minute. I'm just going to get changed." Lily told them.

And with that they left her alone to be in her room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Gryffindor table was usually very loud on a Saturday morning. But it wasn't today. It was surprisingly very quiet.

The noise usually came from none other then James, Sirius and Remus.

Remus looked very interested in a book he was reading, Sirius was just looking at James like he was insane for not talking, and well as for James , he was just lost away in his thoughts.

Little did anyone know James was walking by Lily's room to pay her a little visit when he went to open the door at the wrong moment, he stopped and decided to just listen. Well he heard exactly what he wanted to hear. The truth about what really happened to Lily. Except he didn't really find out the way he wanted to, or the way he expected too.

He couldn't believe it. How could Lucius do something like that to her! They looked like such a happy go lucky couple. Even though it terred James apart to see Lily that happy with another man that wasn't him, he would rather have that then to have her go through that pain. Both physically and emotionally.

He wanted to help Lily so bad but he didn't want Lily to find out how he found out the way he did. She might take it the wrong way and think he did it purposely and then never talk to her. That was the last thing James needed. The only girl he cared about .well besides his friends (Arabella and Liz to be specific) to never speak to him ever again.

James was talking to himself in his head so much that it hurt.

He got up to go for a walk, when he saw Lucius and Lily walk out of the great hall together.

He totally lost his train of thought. He forgot that maybe Lily didn't know that he knew or the fact that he could cause her even more trouble with Lucius if he did what he was going to do.

But he couldn't help it. He just lost his temper and ran over to Lucius and lily. He pushed Lily out of the way and threw Lucius up against the cold stone wall.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE...I"LL KILL YOU!" James Potter yelled at the top of his lungs causing everyone in the great hall to look over at the scene going on just outside of the great hall.

A/N: And there's the end of chapter too. Wow what is James doing? He might be causing a lot of trouble for Lily and well maybe even himself. So anyways..hope you all liked the chapter and hope you guys are looking forward to more. Because there is way more stuff coming up ahead! So please review and let me know what you think.
