Chapter 3
The Evans' were taken in by one of their neighbors for the time being. Though it hardly did any good as Petunia was almost always at one of her friends' houses, or out on dates with her whale-sized boyfriend, Vernon Dursley. After all, who was there to forbid her from seeing him now? Which brings us to Lily…
Lily Evans was not poor, nor was she the richest young lady in England. However, she was fairly well off. Her parents had left both her and her sister a fair bit of money in cash and trust accounts in their wills. When Lily had first heard of the reading of her parent's will, she didn't even think of going. It was only that thought that if she didn't go she would not be legitimate to receive her inheritance, which would be only thing that she would be able to live off until she turned 18. And with that, Lily and her sister are currently in a car riding to the reading.
Break here.
3 hours later.
A girl with unbelievably bright red hair and green eyes could be seen sniffling with her head bent towards the ground as she left a very official looking law office building. If caught in the right light, you could see little glistening tears rolling down her pale cheeks as she walked towards the car that would ultimately bring her to the very place that brought tears to her beautiful eyes. Lily Evans, however, did not stop at the small blue car that belonged to her grief-stricken neighbor. Lily Evans had no intention of going home just yet. She had some things to thing about and some major wrinkles in her life that needed smoothing.
She walked until she was out of the city and into the green pastures that surrounded the small city. She ran up onto a giant hill to where she saw a great swirling mass of black and gray rain clouds. Lily Evans sat herself down and cried. Within minutes, the heavens seemed to crying with her. She stood up and felt the droplets hit her skin and soak her to the bone. She stretched her arms open, embracing the howling fast wind and sheets of rain. She felt that rain cleanse away her innocence, her very core, once so very bright, swirling around it until she felt her very core glow black. She flopped onto the ground and lay there, for a very long time. The rain would continue on for many hours, and Lily did not move. She felt a connection with the rain, almost as if she were just 'in her element.' And when the rain finally halted, the night sky was nothing but a starless void, she thought, very much like how she felt the place where her heart used to be was like. Her face became expressionless and her eyes seemed dead and hollow. The Lily Evans who everyone loved and cherished, was no more.
