The aftermath.

It was 5 to 1 in the morning and any sane person would be asleep but not Lily she pulled out her photo album and made her way down to the common room. She sat on the couch and opened it. Lily blinked back tears that were forming in her eyes. She shut the album and just sat waiting on the couch. After about 10min James came down from his side of the room to see a crying Lily. He slowly made his way over to her. She looked up to meet his brown eyes.

"Hey Lils."

"Hi James."

"Are you alright."

"Yeah I'm fine never better."

"Well you missed a tear." He said whipping it away. Lily smiled at him.

"Thanks."

"Now you were going to show me something and explain about your little thing."

"Oh yeah but first your not getting married are you."

"No not that I can think of why?"

"Just something that was being said at the 16th."

"Oh well I'm not and I don't think I will be for sometime yet."

"Well I'm hoping that's good for you anyway."

"I know it is good. Now will you tell all."

"Ok when I was little I did have a twin. He was Charles Roberto Evens Prince of

Roytra. He should have been here today if it weren't for that thing Voldemort killing him. We were close but not that close I loved him to bits and was devastated to find out that he died. But now I'm 16 I guess life can only get better I was thinking about not taking the thrown I think that I'm to young to do it."

"So Lily if you decided not to take the thrown will you get trenched or something like that."

"No I will be still royalty nothing can change that. I was born with it. Plus my older sister would take it if I don't. That's why this ball is so important to king Harry. You see he doesn't want my sister to take over the thrown he thinks that she will do a bad job of it."

"But what do you think you would do of it? Do you think you could do it if someone was there to help you? Look into the future. Who will be there? What will happen? Lils I know that you can do this you will become head girl you will get married to a great guy you will have many children."

"Do you think so James?"

"I don't think I know."

"James I don't want to disappoint him but I do want to rule. I guess I'm just scared."

"Lily don't be life is full of difficult choices one day you might make a mistake then the next life is just full of wonders."

"You know I think you won my case for me."

"Oh and what is your choice?"

"Can't tell it's a surprise."

"Just a clue."

"Nope."

James jumped on her and stared tickling her. Lily stated to cry James stopped what he was doing and looked at what she was looking at. Partially the hole Griffindoor tower came down to see what all the noise was. James blushed as the hole tower cracked up laughing. The Peter yelled.

"Party." And that's when a new tradition began a return to school party.

James was still concerned with Lily she had been looking off colour and she was keeping to herself more and more. James decided that he would confront Lily about what was bothering her.

"Hey Lily can ya please wait up." Lily slowed down but kept a steady pace.

"So James what can I do for you?" she asked nicely.

"Can you just stop and look at me for one minute please I just want to chat to you?"

"Nope class got to get to it."

"Lily stop."

"No!"

"Fine then I want to talk to you at break."

"I guess but I might be busy I can try to see you."

"I know your busy with you no what but I just need to talk to you about it." With that she stopped.

"What James did I do something wrong and you don't want to help with it?"

"Of course I want to help I just said that to get you to stop."

"Oh well we do need to get to class but a few minutes won't hurt."

"Alright then. Lils what's bugging you? I do know something is up it's not like you to be quiet all the time."

"Nothing is wrong I'm just worried about something's that's all."

"Well tell me and I might be able to help you."

"Nope now lets get off to class." They walked together hand in hand.

As they entered the charms classroom together a roar came from the back of the room. All the girls started screaming and jumping up on to the tables. The boys started to move to the door and out it. Once they had got out of the road Lily was able to see what was going on and to her delight her pet tiger had gotten out of the royal chambers and had come in search of her. As soon as the tiger saw her standing there it ran full pelt at her and knocked her to the ground licking her face. Lily started laughing. James was standing there stunted.

"Your not such a mean thing are you." She said aloud.

"Lily you're talking to a tiger."

"So you're talking to me."

"But you're not a tiger. Are you?"

"In heart yes. But does it look like I'm a tiger?"

"No just making sure."

"It's alright James but I think we should find out who this wonderful creature belongs too." Then she whispered into its ear so only it could here her. "I have to pretend I don't own you so I wont get caught I'll come see you tonight." The tiger roared then walked out of the classroom and down the corridor.

James pulled Lily to the back of the room and sat her down.

"Was that you're tiger?"

"Yes shhhh here's the professor." That made James shut up.

After the class Lily and made her way to the place her parents were staying.

"Mother father I need to talk to you now."

"What's wrong Lily?" her father inquired.

"Why is Snowy walking around the school?"

"Well we thought that she would like it better of she were walking around instead of being cooped up in these rooms."

"Father I would take her out but the ball is coming up and I have to be ready for it. Plus I've been loaded up with school work as seeing I will be missing out the next few days to get ready for this."

"That's alright Lily. Can't you take her out for an hour now?"

"I guess."

"Great then I'll just get her." Her father went out into the back room and collected her tiger. Lily took the tiger out for a walk around the lake she sat down and watched the giant squid play in the water. The tiger came over to her and put its head on her knee.

"What am I going to Snowy? They all expect me to do things that I can't what if I muck up or something then what."

"I'll be right next to you. And we can both look like fools." Lily jumped a foot in the air.

"James you startled me. I don't know if I can do this. It's just getting to be too much."

"I know but if you let me I'll be there with you all the way."

She looked at James and smiled. "I'd like that very much." He hugged her and she settled herself into his arms.
