Tears and Pain
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, but the only thing I do own is the plot. And by the way, please look at the Author's Note at the end.
My tears dropped as I ran down the street. I could hold them in any longer; James had hurt me so deeply. I didn't know where to run to, just anywhere but here. I decided to stay at the Leaky Cauldron until I could find myself an apartment or a house in a wizarding area. I apparated to at small wizarding restaurant near the Leaky Cauldron and ran through darkness. Tom was fast asleep on the counter so I shook him up in an attempt to wake him up.
"Huh? What's going on? Oh, hi Mrs. Potter. Do you need a room?" as he slowly recognized me.
"Yes please" I said impatiently
"How about this room for two-" he started, but I interrupted before he could finish.
"No, I need a room for one" I said with sadness growing largely in my face.
"Oh in that case, here's the key to room C9. It's up the stairs, and two doors to the left. Also, how long are you staying, Mrs. Potter?" He asked. "Uh...about 2-3 weeks if that's possible.
"That'll be 5 galleons and 4 sickles for the first two weeks please?" I handed Tom some of my money and walked upstairs to my room. It perfectly matched my mood; dark colors filled the room. Suddenly, I felt a wave of tiredness hit me and I fell asleep almost immediately.
I still couldn't believe Lily had left. Running into our house, I saw a letter on the table that Lily must have left. Still hoping that Lily hadn't really left and that she would come back any second now, I opened it.
Dear James,
I can't really explain any of my emotions right now. I can't believe that you would cheat on me, but still, I can't trust you anymore. I loved you with everything I had but you had to destroy my love for you. All those girls you slept with, I knew about. Every single one of them broke my heart again and again.
Now I just want to say that I loved you once before. But I will never be able to love again. Never do I want to feel this kind of pain again.
Goodbye James,
Lily Evans
Then I realized it was really the end. She didn't call herself Lily Potter like she had for the past year. She called herself, "Lily Evans". I really did break her heart. How will I ever be able to forgive myself?
Then, something heavy fell out of the envelope. My body started shaking with tears. Her beautiful ring that I had bought for her fell out of it.
My whole body shook with raw emotions. I couldn't control it any longer. Running upstairs to the bed I had just used, I cried myself to sleep, just like I did when my father died.
My eyes widened. The full blast of the morning sun flooded my emerald eyes. Quickly, I remembered yesterday, and tears threatened to drop. But I told my owl, Athena, to send the divorce papers to James's house. I quickly took a shower and dressed myself for work. As I ran downstairs, I avoided the stares and glances that were put my way until I saw the Daily Prophet.
"Lily and James Breakup!" My eyes scanned the page and suddenly my face reddened in rage. It was written by that idiot slut yesterday that caused all of this.
When I finally tore my eyes off it, I was ready to strangle that freaking Skeeter. Apparating to the Ministry of Magic, I lead myself in to the Auror Department where everybody's eyes were locked onto me. Ignoring everything that had stopped, I gave everyone a death glare before walking to my office.
When I got to my office, my feet just suddenly stopped moving. Sitting right on my desk was a letter. It was flipped to the back and it had Voldemort's seal on it. My vision blurred and suddenly everything went black.
