YES! I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK! Just to tell you, i've been trying for about two days. (It was being stupid) OMG! I have a LOT of explaining to do. (Okay, not really.) I haven't checked my email for like a month. Well, I just checked it and I got a review saying that chapter 3 and 4 were the same! I was like what! Then I went and checked it out and was like, omg, they are! So now I feel really bad. Yeah, so now this is what was supposed to be posted.
Hey guys! Look, I know you all hate me (I can actually FEEL the death threats radiating off of you) but I just wanted it to be perfect. I know it's been like, what, four months? But I had a lot going on. I know you really don't want to hear my excuses but I'll tell you them anyway!
I was in a play, and had practice every night! And once it was done I took a break to relax and have time to myself again.
After Christmas is always when school is the hardest, so I've been working hard on that.
My sister had her baby last week! It's a girl and her name is Kylie, she's so adorable!
It's spring break!
Just for the record I WILL finish this fic, because I hate it when people don't!
Thank you to all of you who reviewed! It really makes me want to write more!

Snippets of speech: I think I got what you meant, but please tell me if I didn't. Also, as this is my first fic, I don't want it to be too long, I just kind of want to finish it!
Star Girl11:
That's an awesome idea about it being Dudley! I already have it all kind of planned out, but it would be cool for them to see him sometime…
On to the story!
Chapter Four: Deserved More
Lily was backed into the corner of Harry's room with the marauders, waiting for whomever it was that was making all the noise. It appeared it was her sister's fiancé. (husband now)
Vernon Dursley burst through the door, half dragging Harry. He immediately shoved him against the nearest wall, letting him slide down onto the floor. What was her stupid brother-in-law doing?
Then, as if answering Lily's unspoken question he kicked Harry hard on his left, making him turn over. Vernon then grabbed him by his shoulders and slammed him into the wall again. This time he kept her son up there. "You stupid lying basterd!" yelled the angry man knocking Harry against the wall.
Lily gasped, what was happening to her son? She knew before that he was beaten, but actually watching it was the worst thing she had ever had to experience. She couldn't even imagining being Harry!
The poor boy just stood there and let that man hurt him! Why wasn't he fighting back? She glanced over at James' face, he looked just as awful as she felt. Should they help him? Bun then again, they'd be seen. Her son could die though! Her motherly urge to her future son taking over she stepped out of the invisibility cloak and shouted, "Stop it! You'll kill him!"
"What? Wh-who are you?" exclaimed the frightened Vernon.
Lily was about to yell back, when someone else answered for her, "James and Lily Potter, Sirius—" Vernon cut him off saying something about how we are dead. I wasn't listening. I could only stare at Harry. My future son was in a horrible state.
He was unconscious now. Harry was covered in blood, but you could still see all his cuts and bruises old and new, not to mention the odd bones sticking out.
The boys must have finish their 'conversation' with Vernon as he left and they came over to her and Harry. James picked up a piece of parchment and turned it into a portkey while Sirius picked up his godson. He was handling him with a lot of care, but just reminded him. He told me it'd be fine. That Harry would be okay.
Remus went to check under the bed, because Peter remembered Harry saying something about hiding his important things under a loose floorboard. All of this happening while James shrank his trunk and put it in his pocket, Remus did the same once he found the other items. Sirius then told them all to grab the portkey, as they obviously needed to get him to the hospital wing.
This whole time all Lily could do was stand there and watch. And she was supposed to be the responsible one! Her last thought before she grabbed the portkey was, maybe the marauders deserved more credit than what she gave them.
It's short, but at least I posted something! Next time I'll try not to wait so long! Bye!
