Chapter 6
DC: I do not own Harry Potter!
--A/N: I went BACK TO THE LAST TWO CHAPTERS AND FIXED ALL THE QUIDDITCH MISTAKES!!!!!! Snape is no longer in there neither is Gilderoy, Amos is now in Hufflepuff, I got the Zabini, and Brandon Johnson taking peoples places, BUT Narcissa is still my Keeper. I can't think of any people, and she did go to the Quidditch world cup in the fourth book so she has some interest in it. Oh and thank you miss Susan, for noticing that Fed and George Weasley have to take the map from Filtch in order to take it to Harry, but i've never heard of Sirius being on the team. I like him better as a comentator, plus this is a Fanfic so it dosent matter, right? Back to the story...--
It's the winter holidays, and the four of them decided to go home for the holiday. But they planed to stay at the Potters mansion with James's mom.
"She gets lonely, I am the only child, so she has no one to be with during holiday's." James said.
While him and the boys were packing. Lily was waiting in the common room for them, when Peter Pettigrew came in. He gave her a nasty smirk and went upstairs. Lily shrugged her shoulders and sat down. Then Professor McGonagoll came in. She looked saddened and spotted Lily.
"Where is Mr. Potter?" She asked.
"Packing in his room." She said.
"Get him. And you two come back, only you two." She said making sure she didn't bring Sirius and Remus. She went up the boy's steps and knocked on the door.
"Its me Lily/SP. McGonagoll want's me and James. Only me and James." She said. James opened the door.
"Maybe its about Head girl boy things. Be back." He said. Both he and Lily went down the steps.
Professor made a silence charm on all the doors and locked them too.
"Sit down." She said.
"What is it Professor?" James asked.
"We didn't do anything wrong...did we?" Lily asked.
"No, It's about both your families. They were killed." She said. Lily felt everything around her stop. James shook his head.
"No...What?" He said. McGonagoll sighed.
"Death Eaters, they killed everyone on Privet Drive except your older sister. And your mother tried to stop them." McGonagoll said. Lily's eyes were brimmed with tears. James jumped up.
"No! She can't be dead! I won't believe it! Give me proof." He yelled. McGonagoll, sadly, handed him a letter. James snatched it and it said.
James,
The death eaters have killed everyone on this street. I was trying my hardest to stop them, but they reinforced. They have captured me, and I'm sending you this letter. Tell Lily I'm sorry about her family, but at least her sister is alive. Take care of our owl, and I give you permission to take the mansion and everything in it. They're coming. I give you my love James, Lily, Remus, Peter, and Sirius. Yes even him.
Bethany Potter
James could tell she was crying since there were tear drops on it, and the last few lines were rushed. James re-read it. He shook his head, and tears formed in his eyes. Lily was already crying.
"Why? Why was mum there?" He asked anyone.
"She was visiting a resident there named Mrs. Figg, the squib." McGonagoll said, "Mrs. Figg said she hid, and Bethany went out. She tried to fight of Death Eaters, but couldn't handle them." She said sadly.
Professor McGonagoll put her hands on their shoulders. "I'm sorry." She said. She reversed the charms, and left the room. Lily hugged James. James hugged her back and he dropped the letter. Sirius and Remus heard crying and sniffling. They quietly came downstairs, and saw Lily and James. Seeing James cry meant something horrible happened.
"James, Lily. What's wrong?" Sirius asked.
"Mu-mum is d-dead...." James said. Lily couldn't talk. She just picked up the letter and handed it to Remus. Remus read it and his face darkened. He handed to Sirius and hugged Lily.
"What! This can't be!" Sirius roared. He threw the letter onto the ground and put his hand on James's shoulder. Lily suddenly got up, got her trunk, and was about to leave.
"I can't just mope around. I have to talk to Petunia." She said. James got up.
"I have to go home and see to it my mum gets buried right. Will you come with me Sirius, Remus?" He asked.
Sirius and Remus nodded, and they went upstairs to pack. Lily got her coat on and looked out side. She sighed, and thought about her mother. She couldn't care less about her father, but her mother was everything to her.
"At least she won't get yelled at up there." She said to herself. She dried her eyes, and sat down.
It was quiet upstairs. James was packing everything with the two others, and Peter watched.
"I bet Evans was crying like a baby." He said. James turned to him.
"I was crying too if you haven't noticed." James said bitterly.
"Why would you cry. You're not in her family." He said.
"Well if you haven't noticed, my mum is dead too." He said. Peter shut up immediately. He only heard Lily's family died. He walked out of the room and James finished packing. Remus and Sirius kept quiet as they rode to Hogsmade for the train.
------------
On the train, Lily fell asleep on James lap, and Sirius and Remus were playing chess. James was staring absent mindedly out the window thinking of his mother. He sighed and stroked Lily's hair. Lily awoke but didn't move. She was thinking of her mother also. She was heart broken, and wished she could have been there with her, but she knew her mother would want her to be happy and live on. Sirius yawned and lay on Lily's legs, which made her smile.
"Padfoot? Do you mind not lying on my legs? I would appreciate it." She said. Sirius jumped up, and rested his head on Remus's shoulder.
"Get off me Sirius." He said pushing his head off. Sirius gave them all dirty glares, and got into his trunk. He pulled out his 'silky' bra, and fell asleep on the floor. (go to Chapter 2 to see what's with the bra) James and everyone else started to laugh. Sirius finally got them to laugh, which was his goal for today. Lily sat up, and the Lunch lady came around.
"Free today. Take all you want." Sirius got up, and grabbed all the sugar he could take. Lily got them some butterbeers; Remus got some muggle candy called Lemon drops. James grabbed two handfuls of chocolate frogs for him and Lily.
"Happy Holidays." She said, and left their doorway.
They had a ceremonial feast for their losses. James and Lily felt a whole lot better being with their friends. They concluded that they could get through this.
--------------
"Will you be at your house?" He asked.
"Yes, if not. I'll send you an owl. Alright see you then!" She called.
She felt nervous about talking to Petunia. Hopefully they will get along. Lily apparated to Number Four Privet Drive, and went inside. (A/N: No one is there on her street because death eaters attack. Except Figg, but she's not outside. So she can apparate to her house.)
Everything was still in order. She set her things down and warmed her hands. It was getting really cold. So she didn't want to disapparate so many times in a day, and she really wanted to drive with James to his house. After she was warm she searched the house. She found Petunia in the kitchen; she was crying, and holding a picture of their father. She didn't even have to look up.
"Go away, you freak."
Lily sighed. She stepped a little closer, but Petunia stepped back. Lily then stopped.
"Where were you? How come you weren't home?" Lily asked.
"I was at Vernon's house. Like you would care freak."
"Will you stop calling me that? It's quite annoying." Lily asked.
"I can call you anything I want. I am older, smarter, and engaged. So, freak, is my new name for you." She said. Lily sighed again. She wasn't getting anywhere.
"Are they going to bury mum and dad." She asked.
"They've buried dad already." Petunia said with tears in her eyes.
"What about mum?" Lily asked. Petunia snorted.
"They cremated her. Like I cared for her anyway." Petunia said. Lily shook with anger. She looked up and started to cry. Petunia's expression didn't change from seeing her do this. Lily ran back to the door. Petunia calling back to her.
"There goes Lily Evans. The crybaby, that'll never stop. Well here is a reality check. Mommy's not here to dry your tears anymore!" She yelled.
Lily grabbed her trunk and didn't bother to button her coat, but just ran out the door. She stopped, and let her owl, Riley, fly out of her cage, threw her cage and started running again. Telling herself she would by another one.
She stopped and saw a death eater corner a little girl. He quicly killed her and fled. Lily couldn't do anything, it was already too late, and with tears in her eyes she ran down another street.
She wished she could turn into a leopard, but then she couldn't carry her stuff. So she ran and kept on running. She didn't even know where she was running too. But she ended up at a cemetery. She opened the gate and went in. She found her father's grave and read it.
R.I.P
Fredrick Robert Evans- an adoring husband and loving father
Lily kicked snow at it, muttering some bad words to it. She then looked around and found a small grave that said.
R.I.P
Kimberly L. Evans
That's all it said. Lily brought out her wand and made it bigger.
R.I.P
Kimberly Lura Evans- a loving mother. You will be loved and missed
Lily put her wand away and started to cry. She wondered around, and spotted another grave. It said Lillian Evans. She glared at it. And couldn't believe what she saw. She started to cry again; even her sister didn't want her to be alive.
"Luckily I am alive in the wizard world." She said to herself aloud.
She walked around. She didn't even know what cemetery this was. She looked at the sign. It just said town cemetery, which didn't help her any. She felt cold, and was losing her feeling in her legs and arms. She got into her trunk and put on another cloak. She couldn't apparate, because she was too cold, and cursed herself for letting her owl go before coming here. So she dug into her trunk, and found a mirror.
"The m-mirror!" She said. Hopefully one of the marauders still has one. She clicked it on, and it vibrated.
---------------------James, Sirius, and Remus were unpacking in their own separate rooms. James was digging around, when he found a little mirror. He was about to throw it away, when it vibrated. He clicked it on and found Lily staring back at him.
"Lily? Why are you outside?" He asked. Lily burst into tears, which froze, on her face.
"I-I cant dis-dis-dissapparate. It's c-cold I ca-can't move. I'm at my town's ce- cemetery. I-" And she was cut off.
---------------------------------------------------
A/N: What I'll happen? Will Lily die a pitiful death? Will Remus have any chocolate to help heal? Find out in the next exciting part...... I hate those kind of things there old and too me really useless. And WE KNOW Remus will always have some chocolate, but chocolate doesn't heal everything...
