My Heart Belonged to You!
Chapter 1- Just Kill Me

THREE YEARS LATER
(Lily's POV)
I slowly opened my eyes just as the sun was rising. I yawned and stretched my hands high over my head as I forced myself out of my bed. If you had told me 3 years ago that this is how my life would be I would have called you an idiot. Then again I was the idiot. I was the one wasting away in a crummy apartment in Hogsmeade and working for minimum wage at Three Broomsticks. Did it matter that I graduated in the top of my class at Hogwarts? Did it matter that I was possibly the best charms student to ever graduate from Hogwarts? No it didn't because if it did I would have gotten that job at the ministry.
Working in Three Broomstick you tend to run into everyone. At some point in the past 3 years everyone in London had come into this shop. Well everyone but James Potter, and for my hearts sake that was probably the best. I don't even know what happened to him. I never saw him again after he walked out of that compartment 3 years ago. I never got a letter saying he was sorry, a postcard from where ever he might be, a wedding announcement or anything. I ran into Sirius a few months back and even though my heart wanted me to ask, I didn't and he didn't offer any information. He just asked how I was, paid for his butterbear and left.
What hurt even more than running into old friends was running into old teachers. Flitwick, McGonagall and Hagrid came in about once every 4 months because of Hogwarts visits. Each time they came in I could see the disappointment in their eyes. Wondering why I didn't become more than a counter girl.
Sometimes I wondered that myself. I could be doing great things, but after I didn't get a job as an unspeakable, my heart just wasn't in anything else. I always wanted to be an unspeakable, my heart was set on it. The rejection hurt almost as much as the thought of Potter saying "I don't love you." all those years ago.
So here I am 20 years old working at a job I hate, and wasting away to nothing.
I left my apartment and walked down the street to work. I clocked in, put on my apron and served at least four dozen butterbeers and 20 cauldron cakes. Business was always slow early in the morning. Then the thing I dreaded most happened. Today was a day for Hogmeade visit for everyone at Hogwarts. My heart sunk. Students began pouring in. Some recognized me. I had been head girl, so even though the older ones were at least 3 years under me they still knew who I was. It wasn't long after that McGonagall and Flitwick showed up, shortly followed by Professor Sprout and Hagrid.
"Ah Miss Evans, how lovely to see you again."
"Hello Professor McGonagall, how are things up at school?"
"Not much different since you left my dear, except the fact that things are a bit quieter without..." she bit her tongue. I knew what she was going to say though. Even the teachers somehow knew about what happened.
"I'm sure they are." I felt stupid. I had teachers feeling sorry for me.
She looked uneasy "Have you applied..." but she never was able to finish because at least a 3 dozen dark figures apperated in, and began stunning people right and left. I felt myself turn pale as students and adults began falling to the floor because of flashes of green light. Several students ran for their lives others hid under tables. McGonagall and Flitwick began shooting curses at death eaters but soon they were collapsed on the ground too. I grabbed my wand and began trying to stun them. I think I actually got a few but I was never quite sure. Then without warning one of them disarmed me and my wand went flying. Three of them trapped me in a corner.
"Well hello Evans." One of them said.
"Long time no see." Said the other.
I had no clue who they were, but they obviously knew me.
"Just kill me." I said, I had nothing to live for
"cuerda" on of them said and my hands and feet bound together
"Just kill me now don't waste your time." I said.
"I'm afraid I can't do that Evans." Said the one who had cursed me "As much as I might like to."
"He wants you alive." Said another
A few rocks hit my stomach.
"He wants me?" I said terrified
"He has plans for you." Said the 3rd, and the others laughed. They obviously didn't notice the cracking noises in the background though.
"Please just kill..." the next thing I know I am yanked away from the cloaked figures, and the room is filled aurors and Hogwarts Professors. An arm is fastened around my waist and when I saw to whom it belonged... I fainted.
