Anything but Ordinary

DISCLAIMER- How I wish I owned Harry Potter, but sadly I don't so don't sue me!

( Back in the Grffindor common room)

The same night as the prank, all the Marauders were in th common room talking about school, home, friends, and especially girls.

"Speaking of girls, I wonder what's taking Lily so long," stated James. He was bery worried about her because she went off to do the prank about 2 hours earlier.

"I dunno, maybe she went off to talk to Tonks or Alice," said Sirius, while playing Exploding Snap with Remus.

"Or, she might be in the library working on our Charms essay," declared Remus.

"We had a Charms essay to do?" asked Sirius, while momentarily stopping the game. No one answered the question, but gave Sirius a glare.

It was really quiet until the common room portrait door opened and Tonks and Alice came in, talking about the best kind of shampoo to use in the mountains.

"Hey Ladies, have you seen Lily?" asked James, while getting out of his big, squishy armchair.

The two girls glanced at each other questionly, and faced the four boys.

"No...we about to ask ou the same thing. Last time we saw her, she was talking to Snape," said Alice.

"Where were you guys before you came back?" asked Remus.

"First, we were outside making snowmen, then went into the girls bathroom and fixed our hair, finally, we wnet to the library and worked on our Charms essay, and now we are here," stated Tonks.

"Since when did we have a Charms essay?!" screamed Sirius.

"Sirius, just shut up okay?" asked Peter and went back to listening the conversation.

"When did you see Lily talking to Snape, and where?" asked James.

"About two hours ago. Why? " asked Tonks.

James thought for a minute. Then out of the blue he yelled,

"Holy Shit! Snape!" yelled James and picked up his wand and ran out of the common room.

"What's his problem" asked Alice.

Sirius and Remus looked at each other and ran after James.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"JAMES! WAIT UP!" yelled Remus as they caught up with James.

"What if Snape did something to her? What if she's hurt, and what if..."

"What if she's fine?" said Sirius stopping James.

James looked into his best friends eyes and said," What if she's not?" and started to run again.

The three boys ran into the library, the Great Hall, the lake, and onto every floor, and there was no sign of Lily. They were searching for another 15 minutes when they sat down.

"Guys, let's go, we have to find Lily," said a very frightened James.

"Can...we...take...a...break?" asked Remus in between breaths.

"NO!" yelled James, "Come on Sirius,"

"Too...tired...can't...breathe..." Sirius managed to say before falling on the ground with exhaustion.

"Well...if you guys aren't gonna help...I'm going to look on my own," said James. Before Remus or Sirius could say anything, James had already left.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before James knew it, he was near the dungeons where the Slytherin common room was.

I hope he didn't do anything to Lily. If he did I'll kill him. James thought.

It was so quiet in the dungeons that you could hear a pin drop. James was intentivley listening for any sound, even if it was a bug buzzing. He made his way to the Slytherins common room when he heard a mumbling sound coming from inside the common room. He managed to hear the words,"HELP ME".

Lily. He thought and made his way into the common room.

"LILY? LILY? WHERE ARE YOU?" James screamed and followed the voice of his one and only Lily Evans.

He found where the voice was coming from, and it was behind the seventh year boys dorm. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He screamed Alohamora! and the door opened to find something he'd never imagine to see during his lifetime. Snape was on top of Lily and completely nude and so was Lily. He noticed that Lily couldn't move, and was crying very hard. She had bruises all over her body and her head and neck were all bloody. Snape immediatly shot up and covered himself and Lily was lying in the bed almost unconsius.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING TO LILY!" demanded James.

"DID YOU THINK IT WOULD BE FUN TO RAPE LILY? HUH SNAPE? HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT SHE IS HURT? HAVEN'T YOU HEARD HER YELL AND SCREAM?" screamed a very furious James.

With his face bright red and eyes filled with furry, James lunged at Snape and started to choke, kick, punch and hurt him in every way there was to hurt Snape.

By the time Snape was cying in the corner, James yelled, "NOW, I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE HURT. NOW YOU KNOW HOW LILY FELT WHEN YOU DID THIS TO HER!"

James pointed at Lily and Snape noticed what he hade done through the tears that filled his eyes.

James immediatly fled to Lily's side and undid the invisible ropes. He covered Lily with his robe and carried her in his arms to his and Lily's room.

James laid Lily down on his bed, because it was the closest room to the door. He looked at Lily, and noticed that she wasn't crying anymore. He held her hand and started to cry.

This is all my fault. If I didn't make Lily do this prank, she'd never be hurt. She'd be safe in my arms. I love Lily.

He finally realized what he just thought. He loved Lily. In his mind, he could see Lily smiling to him in Charms, how much he loved when she laughed, loved how she walked. He loved everything about her.

He looked at Lily and noticed she was waking up. He quickly wiped away his tears and said,
"Lily? Lily? Are you alright?"

She opened her dazzling green eyes and stared at James. She wondered where she was and what happened, but quickly remembered.

"James? Oh James, I was so scared. I thought I was going to do die." She said and started to cry. James embraced her into a hug.

"Shh... I know, I know...it's all over now honey."

"I know it's just that I thought I was going to die. He kept hitting him and hurting me and trying to keep me quiet. During what he did to me, all I thought about was you."

"Lily, I thought I was never going to see you again. This is all my fault. If I didn't make you do the dare you wouldn't be hurt and raped by HIM. Lily, I love you and I'll never leave you're side. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Lily. I love you so much."

Lily looked into his eyes and said "I love you, too."
