I do not own Harry Potter. It is the wonderful creation of JK Rowling.

"Come Away with Me" is by Norah Jones

James got off of the couch and took a seat next to Remus as Sirius said, "It's your turn to pick the next contestant."

James replied, "Sirius, I need to sit this round out. You pick for me."

Sirius grinned evilly, "Will do."

James turned to Remus and asked, "What do you know about Lily Evans?"

Remus replied, "Cute little red-headed, muggle-born, I think. I don't think she's had a very easy life but she's near the top in all of her classes and is really nice. Why?"

"Earlier tonight, I caught her staring at me with this dreamy sort of look but just a minute ago when I was kissing Calista she was staring at me again but her eyes were so sad. It just made me curious." James replied.

Meanwhile, Bella walked-up behind Lily and Alice, who were silently arranging the chocolates on a platter at the refreshments table and said. "Lily, we were playing truth or dare. He had to kiss her."

Lily replied softly, "I know and he has the right to kiss anyone he wants, even Calista. It's just hard to watch him kiss anyone, when I wish it were me." Lily sighed, "Calista is so lucky because for a least a moment, she got to be the girl tangled-up in his arms. The one place I want to be and the one place I may never get to be." Lily sighed sadly, "I think I'm going to take a walk to clear my head. I'll be back in time to help clean-up."

"Ok, Lils, we're here if you need us, " Alice replied said.

"Just don't be to hard on him or yourself, OK?" Bella said with a sympathetic smile.

"I'll try," Lily replied with a weak smile as she turned and headed for the common room door.

Lily walked slowly as if she had no place in particular in mind but eventually ended-up at the Astronomy Tower. The light rain from this afternoon had turned into a thunderstorm with lightning that crawled across the sky and rain that fell at a slant so that there was no way to keep from getting drenched on the tower.

Lily was quickly becoming soaked but she didn't seem to notice. She didn't seem to care. Her arms hung stiffly at her sides as she began to sing sadly to the boy in her dreams.

Come away with me, in the night.
Come away with me and I will write you a song.

Come away with me, on a bus.
Come away with me where that can't tempt us with their lies.

And I want to walk with you on a cloudy day,
in fields where the yellow grass grows knee high
So won't you try to come…

Come away with me on a mountain top
Come away with me and I will never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain falling on a tin roof, while I'm safe there in your arms
So what I ask is, for you to…

Come away with me in the night.
Come away with me.

"Why do I even bother? He can't love me. He's so perfect and I'm so…me." Lily whispered between her tears. Lily shivered and rubbed her arms. The cold rain had soaked her thin sundress so that it now clung to her body revealing every curve. She was freezing but didn't want to go inside just yet. So she stood in the rain and cried because she loved James and desperately didn't want to love him. She didn't want to love anyone anymore.
