Authors note: I have no idea what to write. I wish I could just push a
button and have a whole bunch of ideas pop into my head. Sigh, whatever
here goes nothing...(literally)
(Lily's POV):
Well my life was great, just great. Dumbledore didn't trust me. "Well you did prove him right." A voice in my mind whispered. "Shut up" I told it in response. I could only imagine what James thought of me now. I had just tried to commit suicide and he must have realized that I'd tried it before too. The look of horror that must have been on his face killed me. Before Dumbledore had come he must have thought me an ignorant, childish, brat with vengeful qualities. Now he probably thought me a suicidal, ignorant, childish, brat with vengeful qualities.
I stared in terror at Dumbledore before burying my face in my hands. Without looking up I asked, "Then why didn't you come earlier?" My voice had a harsh quality to it, "If your so damn smart with your all your high level spells tracking me, then why the hell didn't you come earlier?" Looking up I saw James flinch at what I had just said and to the headmaster no less. Now we could add psychotic bitch to the list of how crazy he thought I was.
"I didn't come earlier because I knew James was here with you and as long as he was here I knew that you would be safe while I contacted the Ministry of Magic." His voice was calm and there was no trace of anger in it. I wish there had been anger because right now I so just wanted to yell at him, to scream at him, to allow him to see just how hurt I was. But I didn't, I simply sat there my mind going blank and all of a sudden I just didn't care what was going to happen next. I really didn't care; I just wanted it all to end or to just have someone tell me what to do instead of thinking for myself.
I nodded and not really caring asked, "And why did you contact the Ministry of Magic?" He looked strait at me with those eyes that seemed to go right through you and answered, "So that Mr. Malfoy will get what he deserves." James stood up from his spot on the ground so fast I thought he had tried to sit on something sharp.
"Professor! You can't do that. Then the whole Ministry would know. That violates every privacy law in existence. You can't do that to her!" he seemed very defensive of me even though he thought me to be a psychotic bitch who was an ignorant, childish, brat with vengeful qualities. Well, okay maybe he didn't think me to be quite so bad. "If you do that then the whole school will know and then she wont have a moment's peace."
"Somehow I doubt that Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin and yourself would allow for that to happen. I also will not go forward with this unless I have Miss Evans approval. The only wizard who knows about this is Mr. Moody and I know for a fact he would die before he gave up any information."
James looked slightly abashed before saying, "Oh. Well that's all right then I suppose." And then he sat on the floor and stared at the carpet as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world. "I leave the decision of whether or not to do anything in your capable hands Lily. Though I must say that I urge you to take action, and Alastor agrees with me. I do believe that he is currently thinking up curses for the Malfoy family. His current one is to turn them all into bouncing ferrets." His blue eyes twinkled slightly at these words.
Sirius burst out laughing at the thought. "Can you picture that? Malfoy the bouncing ferret. I would give all the gold in Gringotts to see that!" He sobered a little and said "But I suppose that the ministry would probably put their foot down on that one. Oh well, it would have been great though." He smiled and at the moment he looked for all the world like the Cheshire Cat.
My gaze shifted to James and I saw him look quickly away. I hadn't realized that he had been staring at me. So maybe he still liked me after all? I shook my head to clear these thoughts. What was I thinking? Of course he didn't like me. After all those times I had told him to get a life and that I would rather go out with the giant squid, his feelings towards me would definitely be limited.
I sighed. "Oh well" I thought, I would get over it eventually. But at that moment in time I would have done anything to take back all of those horrible things I had said to him. It wasn't as if I had hated him, I just never wanted to risk having my heart broken. Especially after Cedric had torn it into a million pieces.
"Why the hell am I thinking about past and present love right now?" I wondered to myself in amazement. "Well I guess when life goes crazy all you can do is go crazy with it. And I really need to stop talking to myself." Shaking my head slightly I glanced around the room.
Jessica was still sleeping on the couch. I swear that girl could sleep through a murder. Lupin was sitting on a chair with his face in his hands shaking his head. Somehow I knew he wasn't laughing at the bouncing, Malfoy ferret. James was staring blankly into space with a murderous look on his face. I could only imagine what he was thinking. Most likely he was plotting ways to kill that bastard Lucius Malfoy. And I knew he had the power to do it to.
Sirius was sitting on the ground next to Jessica with his head on her knee. It was a well-known fact that he liked her but as soon as he got in her pants he would drop her. He never actually did anything other then send her flirty looks at breakfast though. I figured that James probably had something to do with that. It was also an equally well-known fact that she had a thing for Remus. I had seriously considered going to Remus and talking to him about it. But I valued my life too much because I knew as soon as Jessica found out she would kill me.
"Well now I will leave you five to your lives and go to inform the staff." He turned quickly and walked out of the room. I sighed in exasperation. "What's wrong Lily?" His voice was gentle and concerned. "I will never be able to look McGonagall in the face again." I saw him stand and cross the short distance with his long legs. "It'll be okay Lily. I promise you that." And then with his strong arms he drew me into a tight embrace. I had never in my life felt as safe as I did in that moment.
"I'm so sorry James. I shouldn't have treated you like I did. It was wrong, mean, and selfish of me. I'm so sorry. Could you ever forgive me?" I was crying now at the thought of James reaction and how he would recoil from me and look embarrassed. To my amazement, however he simply held me tighter and said, "Lily dear there is nothing to forgive. I got over everything you said about me a long time ago." "Yeah Lily if Prongs here got upset every time you called him a name he would at this moment be locked in a room crying to himself wearing a strait jacket." James pulled back slightly and looked me in the face. He pushed a strand of my blood red hair behind my ear and whispered to me," I will always care about you Lily no matter what."
(3rd person)
"Aww.. Isn't that sweet? Anybody have a tissue? I think I might start crying. Boo-hoo." Malfoy sinister voice seemed to echo about the room as he stood cockily by the portrait that guarded the entrance to the head's house. Remus's head snapped up and James stood so fast that he half carried Lily with him. Sirius drew his wand and Jessica finally woke up. Stretching and yawning she asked, 'What's going on..." She froze in mid sentence as her eyes alighted upon Malfoy.
"You jackass!!!" she screamed. "How dare you show your face?!?" And with amazing speed she ran at him and he was knocked to the ground with her on top trying to punch every bit of him she could. When he regained his senses he punched her in the face, knocking her of him in the process, and yelled, "You stupid bitch!!! Get your filthy mudblood hands off of me!" And to the amazement of everyone in the room Remus sprinted towards the portrait, grabbed Malfoy by the collar and slammed him against the wall. He punched him strait in the face and raged, "If you ever touch her again with your filthy hands I will personally kill you myself!!!" Punching him again he shouted, "Do you understand me?"
James finally spoke. "Um... Remus don't you think that's my job to be punching the shit out of Malfoy right now?" His voice was one mixed with shock and slight anger. Sirius sighed and spoke, "Um people if we half- kill Malfoy he could get away with rape." When everyone one ignored him he sighed again and shouted the paralyzing spell to Remus, James and Jessica. As Lily hadn't really been fighting he left her alone.
When Remus fell to the floor Malfoy raised his leg as if to kick him. "I don't think so Malfoy cause if you do that then I'm going to unpetrify James and Remus and let them deal with you in their own way. Which I don't think involves a trip to paradise. Now get the hell out." His voice was calm and deadly as ice. There was no remorse in his eyes and Malfoy actually felt a little afraid. But he couldn't leave it like that so he said, "Bye Lily, darling I'm afraid I'll have to meet up with you on another night." Before quickly walking so Sirius didn't get the chance to curse him.
Scowling Sirius performed the counter curse on Jessica and the turned and did the same to Remus and James. Remus immediately stood and went over to Jessica. "Are you okay?" he whispered softly placing one hand on each side of her face. "I'm fine." She whispered closing her eyes as if afraid to open them for fear it would turn out to be a dream. Sirius was grateful that Remus wasn't upset but he knew it would be the opposite story with James.
And sure enough he came at him and in a harsh whisper asked, "What the hell was that about?" Sighing Sirius spoke. "I think I just saved your ass from going to Azkaban." "What the fuck are you going on about?" James demanded in outrage. In a calm cold voice Sirius spoke again, "If I had let you go, what would you have done? Killed Malfoy right?" Unable to speak due to suppressed frustration James simply nodded. "And I know that you are the only person in this castle who would say that and actually mean it."
He glared at Sirius for a moment before turning at the sound of quite crying and in the process completely forgetting about Sirius and the uncontrollable anger he felt directed at him. At the almost broken look he found inside of Lily's eyes he felt his heart breaking. The murderous desire he felt towards Malfoy seemed to increase ten-fold. She was lying on the couch stretched out and she suddenly buried her face in her hands.
When he reached the couch he gently pulled her hands from her face and held them in his own. Rhythmically he massaged them and slowly ever so slowly she raised her shockingly green eyes to meet his hazel ones. The desire to kiss her then and there almost overwhelmed him, but he fought back the urge and whispered, "Shh Lily. Shh. It's all right now. I promise you the jackass is never gonna hurt you again let alone come near you because if he does I will personally kill him. You have my one hundred percent guarantee on that." More tears slid from her eyes as she nodded and buried her face into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her and drew her into a tight embrace.
Remus POV
"Are you okay? He whispered gently placing his hands on either side of her face. He could see that one of her eyes was starting to turn a sickly yellow color and that made his blood begin to boil again. Even though Remus had been slightly surprised by his actions it wasn't all together surprising, he had known that he had always had feelings for her but he would never admit it to himself. Until now. "Sirius is going to have a field day," Remus thought wryly before realizing it didn't actually bother him as much as he thought it would have. For the last six months Sirius had been trying to convince Remus that he had more then friendship feelings for this girl. Even going to the point of asking her out and following her around every where she went, in an attempt to make Remus jealous. "I guess I always thought that anyone I would ever love would be bound to leave me the moment they found out what I was. I just wanted to protect her," he sighed. "What?" Jessica whispered softly. Her mere voice sent shivers down his spine and, he sighed thinking, "If her voice makes me lose control I wonder what would have happened if Sirius hadn't petrified me."
Gently, he brushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear and spoke quietly, "You're so beautiful." She smiled and said, "Your not so bad yourself handsome." He felt his breath catch in his throat and found it difficult to draw in air. With his heart hammering like mad, he leaned in slightly and placed a simple chaste kiss on her lips. She gasped in surprise and for one terrified moment he thought that he had offended her. And then to his delight she smiled and placed a kiss on his lips in return. With an escalating passion he responded by slipping his tongue into her mouth. He heard her moan into his mouth and began to run his hands under her shirt before being interrupted by a cough.
Reluctantly breaking away from her lips Remus turned to find Sirius looking at him with a knowing expression on his smug face. "And Remus I thought you didn't have any feelings for this fair young lady and that she was only a friend to you." Sirius mocked in a fake shocked voice. "Go to hell Sirius." Remus muttered before turning back to Jessica and once sliding his tongue back into her mouth. "Love you to Remmy." Sirius said in a fake hurt voice.
Jessica broke away and whispered, "Remmy, huh? I like it" Remus was about to protest until she caught his lips in another passionate embrace and lightly ran her nails across his back. Gasping he whispered back, "Remmy'll do just fine."
Sirius POV
Chuckling to himself Sirius backed off and allowed the two to have their semi-private moment. Suddenly he realized Wormtail was gone. He'd been since about the time James had apologized to him. Frowning slightly, Sirius decided to go look for him by himself as everyone else seemed slightly 'occupied' at the moment. Pushing his way past he portrait, he decided to check the kitchens first, as Wormtail hadn't eaten dinner he might have been looking for a late night snack.
On his way down he heard a whispered conversation. Wondering who might be about this late at night, he stepped closer. Two people were standing there wearing long black cloaks with the hoods drawn up. Both seemed to be on a mission and were very jumpy. Because he couldn't see the faces he decided to focus on the voices instead. "He said to meet him right around here somewhere..." one voice whispered in confusion. "I'm right here you fools." Sirius heard Malfoy's voice sneer before stepping out from behind a curtain.
Sirius took a step back in distaste. Deciding that this might be worth over-hearing Sirius stayed. He also recognized that the first voice he heard had been Snape's. "So that only leaves the short one unidentified," he mused. (the short one as you have probably guessed is Wormtail and Sirius doesn't recognize his voice because Peter is disguising it. Just trying to stop flames before they come and now to the story...) "S- sorry M-Malfoy. We didn't s-see you," Sirius heard the pathetic voice stutter.
The voice seemed vaguely familiar but he couldn't quite place from where he had heard it before. "I gathered as much." Malfoy stated arrogantly. Snape stepped in, "Why did you want us to meet you here?" "I have new orders from the dark lord." Sirius stiffened in disgust and horror. "I knew those jack asses had to be part of something sinister." He thought. "Well what are they? We haven't got all night you know. Someone's bound to come along and hear us sooner or later." Snape hissed. "Careful my dear Severus someone's going to think you're afraid."
Sirius could practically hear Snape sneer in disgust at the comment. "Well to calm your fearful little heart we have orders to keep tabs on the mudblood," Malfoy said with extreme distaste in his voice. Sirius leaned in closer hidden by the wall. He cursed himself for not having brought the cloak. "Who the hell are they following?" he muttered darkly. "What you mean the Evans girl, Potter's new fling? I thought you took care of her." Snape snapped in annoyance. Sirius's face twisted into one of horror.
"I did." Malfoy snapped back. "Well obviously not well enough if the dark lord thinks more still needs to be done. What pathetic attempt to break her did you use?" Snape drawled. "I raped her dip shit. What the hell else do you think I did?" "Knowing you it could have been anything." "Well as much as would love to stay and chat with you Severus I don't have time and all I have left to say is that these are the dark lord's direct orders: "Break her. I don't give a damn how you do it. Just do it and do it quickly."
"What does the dark lord want with a filthy little mudblood?" Snape asked in wonder. "How should I know?" Malfoy said sharply. "The dark lord doesn't waste his time explaining his orders to me. But I do know that if we fail there will be dire consequences. He did, however, mention that it had something to do with Potter. Now I think that we could probably use you." His voice had turned thoughtful and sinister.
There was silence for a moment while Malfoy seemed to be deep in thought. Finally he spoke saying, "No we can't risk that. When you finally do show your true colors it'll be for something much more important. Severus and I will deal with this on our own and come up with ideas tomorrow. Farewell." And with that Malfoy was gone as suddenly as he has appeared.
Grumbling to himself Snape walked off down the opposite corridor and the short man turned towards Sirius. With his head bent down it was impossible to make out who it was, all he could tell was that whoever it was, was trembling violently. For fear of being caught Sirius ran off in the direction of the head's tower to warn Prongs.
Barely stopping, he practically screamed the password to the portrait. Grumbling something about, "Inconsiderate hooligans wandering around the school at three in the morning... no respect. What is the world coming to?" before reluctantly swinging forward on his hinges to allow Sirius to enter. Swiftly he ran up the stairs looking for help only to find Remus curled up under a blanket with Jessica in his arms and James on a couch with Lily in his.
Muttering to himself he woke Remus whispering, "We've got problems." Wide awake in an instant Remus leapt catlike to his feet, all without disturbing Jessica, who still lay sound asleep on the floor. "Get James." Sirius said before beginning a conversation with himself and collapsing into a chair.
James POV
I felt like I had just fallen asleep before being roughly awakened by Moony. "Get the hell out of my face Remus." I muttered angrily. "Something's up Prongs. Sirius just came running up here and is acting like the hounds were after him." In spite of my anger directed towards Sirius, I still got up. Albeit, a little slower then I normally would have. Gently I slid my arm out from underneath of Lily before jumping off the couch, careful not to wake her.
Looking around I saw Jessica laying on the floor with a blanket pulled over her. Deciding it was a good idea I pulled the one off the back off the couch and did the same to Lily. Tucking the sides underneath of her I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Lover boy come on we have things to do." I laughed quietly. "Your one to talk Moony. I saw you with Jessica."
He grinned sheepishly before changing the subject. "Come on I think Sirius is about to have a heart attack over there." Glancing around I saw Padfoot sitting in a chair talking to himself. I headed over there. "So traitor what's up?" I asked only half jokingly. Flinching as though I had branded my wand at him, he looked up. "James I can say I'm sorry for what I did because I'm not. I for one don't want to see Malfoy get away with what he did." When he put it that way I felt slightly guilty for what I had said to him. "But that is not the point." And with that he drew in a deep breath and began to speak rapidly.

His voice was gentle and concerned. "I will never be able to look McGonagall in the face again." I saw him stand and cross the short distance with his long legs. "It'll be okay Lily. I promise you that." And then with his strong arms he drew me into a tight embrace. I had never in my life felt as safe as I did in that moment.
"I'm so sorry James. I shouldn't have treated you like I did. It was wrong, mean, and selfish of me. I'm so sorry. Could you ever forgive me?" I was crying now at the thought of James reaction and how he would recoil from me and look embarrassed.

Jessica broke away and whispered, "Remmy, huh? I like it" Remus was about to protest until she caught his lips in another passionate embrace and lightly ran her nails across his back. Gasping he whispered back, "Remmy'll do just fine."
Sirius POV
Chuckling to himself Sirius backed off and allowed the two to have their semi-private moment. Suddenly he realized Wormtail was gone. He'd been since about the time James had apologized to him. Frowning slightly, Sirius decided to go look for him by himself as everyone else seemed slightly 'occupied' at the moment. Pushing his way past he portrait, he decided to check the kitchens first, as Wormtail hadn't eaten dinner he might have been looking for a late night snack.
On his way down he heard a whispered conversation. Wondering who might be about this late at night, he stepped closer. Two people were standing there wearing long black cloaks with the hoods drawn up. Both seemed to be on a mission and were very jumpy. Because he couldn't see the faces he decided to focus on the voices instead. "He said to meet him right around here somewhere..." one voice whispered in confusion. "I'm right here you fools." Sirius heard Malfoy's voice sneer before stepping out from behind a curtain.
Sirius took a step back in distaste. Deciding that this might be worth over-hearing Sirius stayed. He also recognized that the first voice he heard had been Snape's. "So that only leaves the short one unidentified," he mused. (the short one as you have probably guessed is Wormtail and Sirius doesn't recognize his voice because Peter is disguising it. Just trying to stop flames before they come and now to the story...) "S- sorry M-Malfoy. We didn't s-see you," Sirius heard the pathetic voice stutter.
The voice seemed vaguely familiar but he couldn't quite place from where he had heard it before. "I gathered as much." Malfoy stated arrogantly. Snape stepped in, "Why did you want us to meet you here?" "I have new orders from the dark lord." Sirius stiffened in disgust and horror. "I knew those jack asses had to be part of something sinister." He thought. "Well what are they? We haven't got all night you know. Someone's bound to come along and hear us sooner or later." Snape hissed. "Careful my dear Severus someone's going to think you're afraid."
Sirius could practically hear Snape sneer in disgust at the comment. "Well to calm your fearful little heart we have orders to keep tabs on the mudblood," Malfoy said with extreme distaste in his voice. Sirius leaned in closer hidden by the wall. He cursed himself for not having brought the cloak. "Who the hell are they following?" he muttered darkly. "What you mean the Evans girl, Potter's new fling? I thought you took care of her." Snape snapped in annoyance. Sirius's face twisted into one of horror.
"I did." Malfoy snapped back. "Well obviously not well enough if the dark lord thinks more still needs to be done. What pathetic attempt to break her did you use?" Snape drawled. "I raped her dip shit. What the hell else do you think I did?" "Knowing you it could have been anything." "Well as much as would love to stay and chat with you Severus I don't have time and all I have left to say is that these are the dark lord's direct orders: "Break her. I don't give a damn how you do it. Just do it and do it quickly."
"What does the dark lord want with a filthy little mudblood?" Snape asked in wonder. "How should I know?" Malfoy said sharply. "The dark lord doesn't waste his time explaining his orders to me. But I do know that if we fail there will be dire consequences. He did, however, mention that it had something to do with Potter. Now I think that we could probably use you." His voice had turned thoughtful and sinister.
There was silence for a moment while Malfoy seemed to be deep in thought. Finally he spoke saying, "No we can't risk that. When you finally do show your true colors it'll be for something much more important. Severus and I will deal with this on our own and come up with ideas tomorrow. Farewell." And with that Malfoy was gone as suddenly as he has appeared.
Grumbling to himself Snape walked off down the opposite corridor and the short man turned towards Sirius. With his head bent down it was impossible to make out who it was, all he could tell was that whoever it was, was trembling violently. For fear of being caught Sirius ran off in the direction of the head's tower to warn Prongs.
Barely stopping, he practically screamed the password to the portrait. Grumbling something about, "Inconsiderate hooligans wandering around the school at three in the morning... no respect. What is the world coming to?" before reluctantly swinging forward on his hinges to allow Sirius to enter. Swiftly he ran up the stairs looking for help only to find Remus curled up under a blanket with Jessica in his arms and James on a couch with Lily in his.
Muttering to himself he woke Remus whispering, "We've got problems." Wide awake in an instant Remus leapt catlike to his feet, all without disturbing Jessica, who still lay sound asleep on the floor. "Get James." Sirius said before beginning a conversation with himself and collapsing into a chair.
James POV
I felt like I had just fallen asleep before being roughly awakened by Moony. "Get the hell out of my face Remus." I muttered angrily. "Something's up Prongs. Sirius just came running up here and is acting like the hounds were after him." In spite of my anger directed towards Sirius, I still got up. Albeit, a little slower then I normally would have. Gently I slid my arm out from underneath of Lily before jumping off the couch, careful not to wake her.
Looking around I saw Jessica laying on the floor with a blanket pulled over her. Deciding it was a good idea I pulled the one off the back off the couch and did the same to Lily. Tucking the sides underneath of her I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Lover boy come on we have things to do." I laughed quietly. "Your one to talk Moony. I saw you with Jessica."
He grinned sheepishly before changing the subject. "Come on I think Sirius is about to have a heart attack over there." Glancing around I saw Padfoot sitting in a chair talking to himself. I headed over there. "So traitor what's up?" I asked only half jokingly. Flinching as though I had branded my wand at him, he looked up. "James I can say I'm sorry for what I did because I'm not. I for one don't want to see Malfoy get away with what he did." When he put it that way I felt slightly guilty for what I had said to him. "But that is not the point." And with that he drew in a deep breath and began to speak rapidly.
