Chapter 14- Leaving Hogwarts and Henry

"Pass the eggs, Lils," said Elle through a mouthful of food.

"Sure, whatever…here," said Lily. It was two days until the school year ended. Lily had done fairly well on her finals…Rebecca and Elle did okay. Katie passed. Barely.

It was still early in the morning; breakfast had just started. Lily, Rebecca, Elle, and Katie wanted to spend as much time exploring Hogwarts ground before they left for the summer. Lily wasn't hungry, quite frankly. She didn't want to leave Hogwarts…she didn't want to go back to her old life.

She would have to face it sometime, she knew.

A voice snapped her out of her trance. "C'mon, Lils, let's go!" Elle and Rebecca were standing over, waiting impatiently. Lily turned her attention to the opposite side of the table, where Katie was frantically shovelling the food she didn't finish into her mouth. Lily laughed.

"Your going to get fat, Katie," said Lily with a smile on her face. Rebecca suppressed a giggle.

"No I'm not!" Retorted Katie. As a final statement, she swallowed and pushed her plate away. She stood up and stalked out of the Great Hall. Lily stood up and followed Elle and Rebecca who were following Katie, who was heading towards the Quidditch Pitch.

By the time Lily had caught up, Katie had already broken into the shed where the brooms were stored and was handing them out. She had taken the best one for herself, and gave the worst to Elle.

"Oh, thanks a lot Kate!" Elle said. Katie smiled.

"No problem Elle, but remember I still love you." Elle just shrugged and mounted her broom and kicked off.

Katie threw a broom at Lily, and took off with Rebecca. Lily warily grabbed hers and mounted it. She had flown a broom once, only once before. In flying class. It was the first time she had ever tried it, and her broom went haywire on her and bucked her off. Lily absolutely despised flying, and it hated her.

Slowly, Lily put her broom back into the storage shed and started climbing to the seats. When she was about halfway up, she heard voices. Peering out of a hole in the fabric, she saw James and Peter walking towards the pitch. Peter just happened to glace and see her head poking halfway out from the stands. He pointed and James looked up, seeing her mortified face. He started running up the stairs…Lily could hear him pounding up. She tried to get her head back through the hole…but to her GREAT luck, she got stuck.

James showed up just in time to find Lily clawing at the cloth. He went over to her and ripped it big enough so she could slip her head through. She straightened and dragged her fingers through her hair. She could feel James's hot breath down her neck.

He finally broke the silence. "Listen, Lily…I don't know what's going through your head right now, but before we leave for the summer I want you to know this. You've been avoiding me lately, and quite frankly, I don't know why. All year I've been helpful, nice, caring…and you just rub it in my face. All I want is to be friends, nothing more, nothing less. I just don't get it."

By this time, Lily was close to tears. He had been nice to her all year, and she had been so self-involved not to notice it. She had been awful to him every day that she was here.

"James, I…" She couldn't finish the sentence. She broke down into tears.

"Shh, Lily. Just say we're friends and I'll forget everything bad that happened between us. Put it in the past, whatever. I don't want to spend the summer knowing that we never got along."

Lily wiped away her tears. "Of course we're friends," she said softly. James smiled and hugged her. Lily was kind of surprised at first, but in the end she hugged him back. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

Lily was overjoyed. They were no longer enemies. They were acting like civilized people. It was crazy.

Slowly, James pulled away and left without another word. Lily ran to the tear and stuck her head out. She saw James emerge from the stand, and walk away alone. Peter had left some time ago. Lily was only a little disappointed when he didn't even look back.

She blinked and pulled her head back in. With a hair tie that was around her wrist, she tied her hair back in a loose bun. She wiped away the stray tears rolling down her cheeks and ran up to watch her friends play a mock game of Quidditch.

Lily woke up the next morning feeling happy, sad, and sort of relieved. She was happy that her and James were actually friends now. She was sad that today was her last day at Hogwarts until September, and that she had to go back to her old life. She was relieved from classes that day, just like she was relieved from classes for the past week and a half.

She slowly opened the curtains to find Elle up, Katie still sleeping, and Rebecca not there. Probably taking a shower.

Elle looked up from the book she was reading and smiled. "I can't believe that this is our last day together," she said.

"Don't be serious, Elle! We'll defiantly see each other during the summer, and don't forget next year, and the year after that, and…" Elle cut her off.

"I get it! Your right!" She said. Just then, Rebecca came out of the bathroom, her dark hair even darker because it was wet. Rebecca glanced towards Katie who was stirring. She smiled and pointed at her. Lily and Elle didn't really know what she was doing or saying.

Rebecca shook her head and tiptoed over to Katie's bed. She counted to three, and then pounced on Katie's bed screaming. Lily and Elle laughed as Katie jumped up and hit her head on the frame of her bed.

Their last breakfast at Hogwarts for this year. They were fairly late today, and the Great Hall was packed when they arrived. The train left this morning at 11, and it was 10 right now.

Lily, Elle, Katie, and Rebecca found some empty seats at the end of the table. Food immediately appeared on their plates, and they began stuffing their faces. The next time they would eat would be on the train from the food trolley.

Owls started streaming into the Hall, finding and delivering post. Kantu swooped down and dropped a letter on Lily's head. She was kind of surprised, but soon forgot about it. She tore open the letter.

Dear Lily,

I know this is a bit late, and I know it's your last day at school for this year. I've met someone. His name is Henry, and he's very nice. We will be living at his house for quite a while. Petunia insisted on the biggest room, but we let her have the second biggest. Your room is bigger than the one that you had at our old home. We'll meet you at the train station when you arrive, but not on Platform 9 ¾. Henry doesn't yet know that you are a witch, and I'm not planning on telling him. Don't you tell him either. We'll meet you outside so he doesn't get suspicious.

See you soon!

Love, Mum.

"She met someone…" Lily said quietly to herself. Lily's eyes swelled up with tears. She vividly remembered at her dad's funeral her mom promised she would never marry again, nor would she go on dates. She said she was loyal to Lily's dad still, even though he had died. She lied.

"Lily, let's go!" Rebecca was standing over her, looking at Lily strangely. Her impatient face quickly turned to sympathy when she saw Lily's eyes filled with tears.

"What happened?" she asked.

"It's nothing…c'mon let's go…" Lily stood up and pushed past her, wiping her eyes as she went.

"Okay…" said Rebecca.

Making sure they hadn't left anything, the four friends left the Great Hall for the train.

The Hogwarts Express was slowing down. If she strained her neck enough, Lily could see all the happy parents waiting on platform 9 and ¾. She was slightly disappointed that her mother didn't come on the platform to wait for her. Lily wondered when Henry would find out about her being a witch.

The train stopped. Lily could hear people opening compartments and clambering out of the train. Slowly, she stood up and grabbed her owl cage and trunk. As soon as she stepped out of the compartment she was swept along the corridor until she could find a door.

She hugged all her friends goodbye, and she caught one last glimpse of the Hogwarts Express before she went to the Muggle world. Lily walked down all the different platforms until she reached the doors to outside. When she stepped out, she squinted. She saw her mother waving farther down, so Lily started heading towards her.

A man got out of their car. He was about 6 feet tall, and very strongly built. He had dark brown hair, and green eyes, like Lily's eyes. He draped his right arm around her mother's shoulders and Lily got a sudden jolt of anger. This must have been Henry, the man who stole her mother away from her.

Saying a quick 'hello', and afterhugging her mom, Lily got into the car. Henry got in the drivers seat and started the car. Lily was vaguely aware that her mom was asking her questions about her year. Lily's mind was somewhere else. She was remembering everything from Christmas time, when she had to kiss James while they were under the mistletoe, to when Meghann died. A lot had happened this year…and she already missed Hogwarts.

Lightly touching her pocket to make sure her wand was still there, she smiled and stared at the landscape going by.

(A/N) Hehe…wasn't that great? I don't think so…I think the next story will defiantly be better. I'm still thinking about what exactly will happen in the next story, but I know that it will be in their 6th or 7th year. Maybe 6th, probably 7th. I'm not sure. Before I start the new story, I'm going to work on my other one for a while, so it will probably be up in a month, no later. Maybe even sooner, if lots of people review! (hint hint)

Ritz xoxo
