Sorry for the long wait with updating! I've been caught up in schoolwork and rowing and tests and end of term stuff, and not only that but my computer got taken away to fix and I didn't expect everything to be deleted! All my HW and all my stories and chapters I have written notes for! So, I had to re-write a whole new chapter as well as a ton of work. So sorry… no time for excuses!
Now on with the story!....
A tall, fresh-faced woman with long auburn hair that fell gracefully down her back, was running through a large green landscape. Her aim was a large gloomy forest. The lady was wearing a long emerald cloak, which tore on a part of a tree as she sprinted her way though the dark forest. As she ran, she saw a ditch. She threw herself in and ducked her head. From the corner of her eye she could see a hole, just big enough for her to fit through. Quietly, she crawled through the tunnel she knew so well now, muttering 'Lumos' in the meantime, creating a powerful green light.
As she made her way through the spider webs and rats, the tunnel grew bigger. Spitting off the spider web that caught onto her lip, she hastened her pace. Light grew and she could see the outdoors again. Slowly peeking her head through the corner to check no one was around, she got up, brushing mud of her knees and hands. Gradually, she began to walk, wand outstretched. Looking in every direction, whenever a sound was heard, she walked out onto the fresh green grass. It was a large area of beautiful land, which circled a big magical castle. Tucking her wand back into her pocket, a safe and reassured smile tugged at her lips as she headed for the large entrance doors of the castle.
Lily rolled onto her side in a sleeping daze, taking in the fresh smell of the bed linen. It smelt so fresh and sweet; she didn't want to open her eyes. Slowly, knowing she'll have to get up sometime, she opened her eyes expecting to see the bookshelf in the study next to her. She let out a shrill scream, seeing something very different to what she expected.
Almost simultaneously, an unnaturally high-pitched, not-so-manly scream was heard. Sirius Black jumped back high in fright, from sitting on a chair beside her bed with his arms crossed on the side table and head resting on them, just staring at the sleeping beauty.
'What the hell is going on in here Sirius?' A deep voice could be heard. James Potter came walking in with his hair the messed up, in loose jogging bottoms with a t-shirt flung carelessly over his shoulder showing off his tanned chest… something Lily found hard to deal with – the red just wouldn't stop from reaching her cheeks! Apart from that… she quite liked the view. James had a well-built six-pack, which just she just couldn't keep her eyes off... she was beginning to like Quidditch now! Everything a girl needed to see in the morning!
'Sorry James,' a quickly recovered Sirius replied to James. 'I was just making sure Lily's ok, when she suddenly woke up and screamed!' He finished off the explanation with a small shake to his voice, as though it was the most terrifying thing he has ever seen. By this point, much to Lily's disappointment, James had put his t-shirt on – fortunately it was tight… she could still see his toned torso. :p
Just noticing that she was awake, a smile that reached his eyes spread over his face as he turned to Lily. There, sitting up in bed with a very confused look on her face, Lily was looking around the room, trying to place where she was. Her auburn hair was haywire, standing up in every place imaginable, but still looking pleasantly beautiful. James just couldn't quite control himself. He leapt onto the bed and hugged Lily as tight as he could.
'Where the hell am I?' Lily asked as she looked down in shock to the 17-year-old boy clinging onto her. Inside she was giddy with happiness, but just kept it natural, as though this happened every day.
James, finally letting go of her, sat back and replied to her question, in a soft voice. 'You may not be able to remember this part well, but your mother… well… she… she hit you… hard. Your wound gaped open fast and blood was spurting everywhere from your head. No one really knows how you got that bad an injury, from just being hit… it shouldn't have been that bad.' James began to mutter mainly to himself, confusion, irritation and rage evident in his voice.
'How did you know… I mean… well... what were you doing there?' Lily said quietly.
Noticeably embarrassed, James answered hurriedly, with two pink spots arising on his cheeks, 'There's no need to get into that now, that isn't what matters. What matters is, that you need to have some food and walk around to get back on your feet, it's been nearly two weeks… eleven days to be precise.'
Lily was barely listening; thoughts were rushing through her head. Questions needing to be answered, worries, doubts… it was becoming much to overwhelming for her. Her eyes began to sting, tears leaking from her eyes. She tried to fight it, but she couldn't. A small sob could be heard, and James whisked his head around to her direction, so fast he felt dizzy.
'Lily! What's wrong?'
'I don't know… I just feel so…confused,' Lily said, her voice shaky, nose runny, and tears pouring down her milky white cheeks.
A feeling Lily had never felt before overtook her. It was strong and overpowering. She could feel it spread through her body, up to the tips of her fingers. It was overtaking her body; she couldn't control herself any more.
'Wand,' a sharp hoarse voice called out. Lily saw her wand come to her, flying in the air, but she was still perplexed as to whom the voice belonged to.
Lily caught the wand briskly in her hand, snatching it out from the air. The strong power inside her that she couldn't have control over, was forcing her hand to move in strange patterns. Lily knew she recognised them, but her mind was spinning. She was having trouble just to think.
The same voice once again spoke out, 'Morsmorde.'
She only then realised that it was her who was speaking. Somewhere in the far distant, Lily could hear deep gasps, and her sight was blocked, she could feel herself getting weaker and weaker mentally. She didn't know what to do. She must get out of this trap from inside her own body.
Lily fought with all her strength against the power. Eventually, she knew there wasn't any use fighting it, but something deep inside her kept her fighting.
'Don't try and fight it my sweet flower. There is no point. I have already taken over you, and at your weakest of times. I am going to rid the world of any one who may have an affect in stopping me gaining power, and you, my dear Lily, are included.' The voice coming from Lily was deeper and sharper now, but evil was evident.
'But don't worry Mr. Potter, you will be next, and very soon I hope. I'll have to kill you too of course Mr. Black, just because you're here.
'You see, Potter, you also could be able to stop me. Both of you have a power that is capable of stopping the next Dark Lord, and both "gifts" are inherited. You both have strong magical backgrounds, and you both are very talented at magic. I am not intending that to happen, as I am Lord Voldemort, and nothing is going to stop me.'
Lily could feel herself dying inside. She was grateful of the life she has had, even though it wasn't exactly the best, but she was thankful because she was able to have the gift of magic. Then a thought triggered inside of her.
'You might be wondering if I'm lying, or even how I know all of this. So, as you are all going to die soon, I might as well tell you. There is a prophecy that was heard by one person, and one person only, and I was lucky enough to have to have that person as my follower and so he told me. I researched this, knowing that I, and only I, was going to be the next Dark Lord. I had already started my aim of killing all the mudbloods and muggles. I was the person responsible of the recent "mysterious deaths" so I wasn't going to have it ruined for me by two-'
Lord Voldemort's voice was cut off suddenly. Lily looked deep inside of her and searched for any signs of power. She didn't know what did it, but suddenly she felt herself growing stronger, back to her original self. The evil was drowning out of her system, and she could take control of herself now.
She looked around, finally getting her sight back, and saw what Lord Voldemort had done. She saw things she didn't even remember happening. James and Sirius were tied up together, back to back with a piece of cloth in their mouths. A snake was squirming on the floor, hissing at the two shocked boys. But the most shocking display of the whole room was a large skull with a serpent coming out of its mouth, floating in the air.
Lily must have sat there staring at it for ages, but finally realising that the two boys were tied helplessly together, she took the wand that she'd dropped on her bed and untied the strong ropes.
Nothing was said for a while, as they were all too shocked as to what they had just seen. Finally, James broke the ice.
'The Dark Bloody Lord just took over your body, Lily. What the hell are we supposed to do?' James had an edge to his voice and sounded cross, but Lily knew that it wasn't anger… it was fear.
'Get your parents, James. They'll know what to do,' Sirius said, with a distressed expression on his face.
'Yeh… yeh, I'll do that,' James said quietly to no one in particular.
James left the room without a sound, when Sirius suddenly said, 'Lily, you are muggle born, aren't you?'
Shakily Lily replied, 'Yes, but Lord Voldemort said I had a strong magical background.'
'That was exactly what I was thinking,' Sirius said quietly.
At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Potter came into the room.
'Hello Lily, I'm Diane Potter.'
'Hello Mrs. Potter, nice to meet you,' Lily said politely.
'Just call me Diane! I know this is all so sudden and rude of me considering you have just met my husband and I but… we need to know exactly what has happened. Professor Dumbledore is on his way.'
Lily began to explain what had happened, which left another particular silence that she'd become much too used to.
The old Professor broke the silence with a grave voice. 'Lily, James, there is a lot to explain to you, with many answers. I am going to start from the very beginning.'
