Just a game

Chapter fourteen

It was the first day of the Christmas holidays and James was sat playing chess against Sirius, Peter was sat watching them and Remus was sleeping, it had been a full moon the night before.

James looked out of the window and saw a figure walking back to the castle.

"Lily" he whispered and ran out of the common room.

"Hey James where are you going, we're not finished yet" Sirius called after him but he'd already left.

Lily was finally back at Hogwarts. She was just on her way to the castle, when someone came running towards her.

"James" she said happily.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN" he shouted at her. she looked rather nervous but didn't have to answer as he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Do you want me to explain everything?" she asked when he'd let go of her.

"That would be good" he said. They went and sat near the lake.

"Where should I start?" she asked.

"The beginning would be good" James replied.

"Well when I was in hogsmead I got hit by some curse and passed out, when I came round I was in a room I don't really know where the place was. Anyway to cut a long story short You know who wanted me to join him and become death eater or he was going to kill me..."

"YOU'RE A DEATH EATER" he yelled getting up.

"James you have to listen to me" She said sounding frightened.

"I think I've heard enough" he said and started walking back towards the castle.

"JAMES!" she yelled after him but he never turned round.

"Why should I care if Potter doesn't want to talk to me" she muttered to herself.

The thing is you do care a little voice in her head said.

Why did he feel like she'd betrayed him they weren't really friends.

"What's up you've got a face like thunder?" Said Olivia who was walking towards him.

"Nothing" he muttered and walked quickly back to the common room.

"Finally can we finish the game now?" asked Sirius as he walked into the common room.

"Yeah sorry there was something I had to do" he muttered.

Lily knocked on the door of Dumbledores office.

"Come in" Lily stepped inside.

"Miss Evans" he said sounding slightly shocked to see her.

"Professor I need to tell you what has been going on" she said silently praying that he who must not be named would never find out what she was doing.

"Please sit down Miss Evans" he said, Lily sat.

"Professor I want to become a spy for you against He Who Must Not Be Named..." she stopped unsure of what to say.

"I have become a Death eater but I was forced and I wish to still remain loyal to you" She muttered looking at the ground.

"I don't want you put in danger" He said.

"I already am, please professor it will make me feel better about what I've done, I don't even want to be a death eater" she said.

"Very well Miss Evans but you do realise the danger your in" He said.

"Yes" she muttered very quietly.

"You may go" he said.

"Thank you" she said as she left.

Lily headed for the Gryffindor common room, she was slightly scared of seeing her friends again in case they acted the same way as James had.

She walked into the common room.

"Lily!" yelled Olivia who run over to her and nearly squeezed her to death.

"I've missed you too Liv but can you please let me breath " Lily muttered.

"Oh sorry" Olivia said sheepishly.

"We've been so worried about you" said Carla hugging Lily.

"I've got to explain some things to you" whispered Lily looking over at James who was playing a game of chess against Sirius.

"Ok" said Olivia.

"Not here" muttered Lily heading for their dorm. Olivia and Carla exchanged glances before following her.

"Checkmate" said Sirius.

"What" said James looking back at his friend.

"I've finally beat you" replied Sirius grinning.

"Oh great now the only person who can't beat me is Peter" James Said.

"Actually he beat you the other day" Sirius reminded him.

"Thanks for that Sirius" James said sarcastically.

"You're welcome" replied Sirius pretending not to notice the sarcasm.

"Hey when did Lily get back?" asked Sirius changing the subject, Lily Carla and Olivia were just going up to their dorm.

"She just got back" said James rather coldly.

"I wonder where she's been" remarked Sirius.

"Lily what's going on?" asked Olivia.

"I have to explain to you what happened while I was away" Lily muttered.

"Were you taken by Voldemort?" asked Carla, Lily flinched slightly at the name.

"Yes" she replied.

"I already know what happened" said Olivia quietly.

"What! how do you know?" asked Lily.

" James had a vision the other day in Divination and saw the same thing, it was you Lily with some death eaters at a table then it changed to you on your own then the dark mark appeared." Olivia stopped.

"I don't understand that" said Carla.

"She was with the death eaters at a meeting and she had to make a choice, Lily is now a death eater" Muttered Olivia quietly.

Carla looked at Lily as if begging her to tell her it wasn't true.

"It's now how it looks, i had to either become a death eater or die..."

"So you became a death eater" said Olivia coldly.

"Please let me finish" Lily said.

"Lily if your a death eater how can we possibly be friends, you know how much me and Olivia are against them" said Carla

"I'm against them too" Lily said.

"How can you be your one of them" muttered Carla.

"I've become a spy for Dumbledore, when He who must not be named sends for me I go and then I come back and tell Dumbledore what's gone on or what is going to happen" Lily said.

"Lily that's really dangerous" whisper Carla.

"But it's the only way I can stay loyal to Dumbledore" lily said.

"I'm sorry i should have know you would have never joined him unless you could still be loyal to Dumbledore" Carla said.

"If he ever finds out about this your be dead" muttered Olivia.

"I know Liv but if i hadn't joined him i would already be dead" Lily said.

"I hope he never finds out" Carla said Hugging Lily.

"Me too Carla, me too" muttered Lily.

It was later that evening and Sirius had disappeared, Peter was in the detention, Remus was in the library and James was out at quidditch pitch.

He set off to do another lap of the pitch, flying always seemed to help clear his head.

James noticed someone watching him from the stands,. he went and landed and Lily walked over to him.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly as he shoulder his broom.

"You didn't even hear the whole story" she muttered.

"I don't need to" he replied walking off but she followed him.

"James you need to understand something" she said.

"I understand your a death eater and I don't associate with them" he said over his shoulder.

"I DON'T LIKE THEM ANY MORE THAN YOU DO" she shouted after him.

"You must you're one of them" he said turning round.

"If you really think that i would become one of them, it's not worth trying to change your mind" Lily said and hurried past him back towards the castle.

James went to put his broom away.

Carla was very happy as she headed back towards her dorm, someone had asked her to go with them to the dance that was on Saturday she hadn't been looking forward to it but now it seemed a bit better.

She walked into her dorm, the curtains round Lily's bed were closed and Carla could hear crying.

"Lily are you ok?" she asked.

"He....h.hates....me!" she sobbed.

"Who hates you?" asked Carla sitting down on her own bed hoping Lily would come out soon.

"James" Lily said calming down slightly.

"I thought you hated him anyway" replied Carla.

"I don't hate him anymore" Lily said very quietly.

"So you want to be friends with him?" asked Carla.

"Yeah that would good" came the reply.
