Name: What No One Knew

Disclaimer: I don't see the point in writing this anymore, but…I don't own.

Summary: (Set in the marauders' 7th year) Marauders- Peter, Remus, Sirius, and James, but there was another, one other, Head Girl and James's best friend, Lily Evans. And though James doesn't realize, Lily is desperately in love with him, though he remains oblivious to her secret pine for him. Britney, James' girlfriend on the other hand, has definitely noticed this. Being the wench she is; she of course retaliates.

SSSSSSSS

Chapter 10

The full moon was bright overhead as a battle raged.

"Lily, I'm going to fight," James said to her.

"What?" she asked bewildered.

"I have to go, I have to!" he pleaded.

"No, James…I need you here! Please don't go!"

"Lily, I have to fight! I love you with all my heart, but I have to go, I have to help!"

"Then I will go with you!"

"No! I don't care if I die out there, as long as you are safe. You have to stay here!" He walked to the edge of the protection charm dome.

"James, please. They're fighting a hopeless battle, we can't win this time. Please stay here. PLEASE!"

"NO! Lily, I love you…" he walked out into the crossfire of colorful streams of light flying everywhere. He turned, ducked under a red beam headed for him and sealed the dome so she couldn't follow him. He did not acknowledge her pounding fists from the inside of the see-through dome. He could not hear her sobs, her screams, her pleads and her prayers. He kept walking, into the battleground, and he fought, he fought for the Light side, he fought for his family, he fought for his friends, but most of all, he fought for Lily.

-Break-

Lily watched, powerless, as all she knew, all she loved, fought, they fought so she could live, to fulfill a prophesy that only was known to few, and the guilt was beyond anything that she, or anyone else could imagine. She watched as her Albus Dumbledore fought Tom Riddle, or Lord Voldemort. She watched as Sirius fought his own brother. She watched as James fought Bellatrix, and Remus fight Malfoy. She watched as Peter and countless others fought. She watched as they lost as well. She was the one who had to stand by and watch all of her friends fall to the ground, and their death. She watched as Voldemort and his remaining followers apparated out of sight. And Dumbledore look around at all those who were dead with a look of sadness, anger, and grief. Oh the grief. Lily felt all of it too. Dumbledore lowered the shield that protected her and once protected James. But James was no longer protected. She ran to his body and held his lifeless face to her and rocked back and forth slowly as she sobbed and wailed, "James, why did you leave me? James!" The dead were taken away, but still she sat with James. "James, why? James!"

"JAMES!!" she yelled to the dormitory. Was it a dream, she couldn't be sure. She ran up to the boy's dormitory. The 7th year beds were empty and the full moon shone through the window and cast an eerie pale light over her. Her face drained of color she ran out of Gryffindor house and onto the grounds, forgetting she was still in sleepwear. She looked around, and saw the strangest group of animals. A great black shaggy-haired dog, a very small rat that she would not have seen for had there not been moonlight, and…she went rigid, a werewolf. She backed up into a shadow, not wanting to be seen. And, a beautiful white stag. All thoughts of why she was even out there were shoved out of her mind as she saw this proud animal. Gleaming in the moonlight, its body glassy coat was actually giving off a faint glare. She saw them approach the Whomping Willow, yet they it did not lash out at them, it froze. The animals went down into what appeared to be a tunnel. Several minutes later, the dog, stag, and rat reappeared. Once out of reach of the branches, they transformed into Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. Oh, this was grand, this was grand she thought. Many wild ideas, all involving blackmail, ran through her head. She finally settled for ultimate humiliation on James's behalf. Yeah, blackmail was good, but humiliation, yeah, that was even better. She hurried off into the castle.

A/N: okay, so I decided that anyone who wants me to update sooner, will have to deal with a shorter chapter as I am not so good at typing fast. SORRY!

Next on…What No One Knew:

"James! That's so despicable! EWW!!"

"I can't believe you got Lily pregnant!"
