My Mistake- Chapter 3
Lily Point of View
I'm just sitting here, thinking. I do this a lot you know. And no matter how much I think, I always come back to my mistake. Back in third year, (take splace in 5th year by the way) I had a fight with a girl named Bella Black. Which led to my parents death. That's my mistake. I was dueling with her, turned her hair pink and she thretened me. I never took this seriously, I mean I AM Lily Evans, strong red head, but she meant it. A tear stremed down Lily's face as she put her diary away in a start of a new day.
Lily walked down the girls staircase to find Sirius waiting. "Lily! Thank god! I've been waiting!"
"Sorry, what is it that you want?" She asked.
"Uh, this potions essay it's hard, and I need your help." Sirius asked hopefully.
"Sirius, this is due in like, an hour, you haven't started have you?" Lily asked amused.
"No, not at all." Remus came running down the stairs chasing after James who had his covers.
"PRONG GIVE EM BACK!" James stopped and they were face to face, yet there was the cair between them. Remus with his wand out and thretend James.
"Morning Remus, James." Lily acknoleged. Both of them stopped to wave hi to Lily and Sirius.
"Now Sirius, what about that essay?" Sirius smiled and started to explain.
"Hello Everyone." Laila Greene said.
"Hey Laila." Sirius and James said. Remus turned a shade of red, "Morning." Laila flashed her trademark smile.
Lily smiled knowing that Remus had a crush on Laila sence 4th year. "Hey." Lily said back to her best friend.
"Who wants brakefast?" Laila announced as walking to the door.
Sirius head shot up as the word 'brakefast' was heard. "Brakefast?" Sirius sprinted to the door and almost knocking down Laila in the process. Lily snickered, James followed and Remus went upstairs to go get ready.
Notes between Sirius and Laila
Hey Laila- you like Remus?
Do I? Uh, why?
Well Remus has said some things
Like what?
That, is confidential.
You really want to know? Yes, yes I do.
Sirius jumped with joy (not literally.) and threw a note at Remus that hit him in the head.
Hey Moony
Ow. You prat that hit me in the head. What do you want?
Well it just so happens that Laila likes you back. So when's the weeding?
Prat.
"MR. BLACK. What did I just say?" The potions teacher asked. (Woman)
"That I look smashing this fine morning?" Sirius replied.
"10 points from Gryffindor and a weeks worth of detention." She said and turned back to lecturing.
"Now your partners for this class is as the following: Black,Evans Lupin, Greene Potter, Smith Sanpe,Malfoy ...(lalalala a bunch of other people.) You have an hour, start."
"Good luck Moony." Sirius said to Remus as he passed. Remus just scawled.
After a quarter of the hour given Remus read a note:
Did you ask her?
No.
You don't have much time! Right now is the perfect time!
Fine, Fine. You're lucky I trust you.
"Hey Laila, um-uh I was...well..." Remus stuttered.
"You wanted to ask me out." Remus looked shocked. "Oh don't be so surprised, it's written all over your face. And yes." She went back to choping slugs. Remus just smiled and went back to work.
After Class:
"So Remmy did you do it?" James asked after class walking down the hall.
"Yeah." Remus answered.
"YES!" Sirius shot his fist in the air. "Now Prongsie boy we need to get you and Ms. Evans together." Sirius said, his mind already working.
"Whatever you're planning Padfoot, stop. Lily and I are just friends alright? And never call me that again."
Flashback
"Now, turn over the cups and read the tea leaves." The professor said.
"Wow! Remmy! It says you will marry Laila and have littleones and let Sirius spoil them!" Sirius said.
"Let me see that!" Remus grabbed it out of Sirius. Remus eyes bulged out. "IT DOES!" Sirius laughed and put his wand away. (assuming he cast a spell to make it like that)
Over at Laila and James. "James, hullo? What does it say?" James snickered. "JAMES!" Laila yelled.
"Alright, alright. It says that you will fall in love with Remus have little kids and let Sirius spoil them." James replied like it was nothing. Laila took the cup and stared at it wide eyed.
"No it doesn't." She snapped back at James. "Dolt." Laila pouted.
"Hey Lily! It says 'beware of trust for it may miss lead you.'Whatever that means. But it's all rubish, just like you said." Her partner, a Ravenclaw girl said.
End of Flashback
Lily's Diary- (past tense is is italics)
Dear Diary,
Today was the worst. I was out by the lake, and Bella said something. I can't really remember. I threw a spell at her, making her hair pink. And then she shot me with another curse and thretned me to add me and my family to the list. Which meant, I'm next in Voldemort's kill people list. Bella is Sirius cousin and all, so I thought he could help out. It turns out that he was disowned. I'm scared. Very scared. I don't know what to do.
Dear Diary,
Dumbledor just told me, my parents died. They died, because of him. Bella wasn't kidding. If one thing is for sure, tea leaves are true. Well I must go to bed now. Hide the tears and put on a smile.
end flashback-
Lily point of view.
I will never forget that day. Dumbledor just told me my parents died. It's been 2 years to this day, and I'm stronger than ever. I know that I can get through this. And I've got friends to prove it. Just ask James, Sirius, or anyone. This is how I became so popular. I put myself out there, thinking that I could fill the hole my parents left in my heart and replace it with others. But, it didn't work. No one can fill the space in my heart.
Everyone was at the lake during thir free period.
"Hey Lily?" Laila asked.
"Yeah?" Lily said staring into the icy blue water.
"What's it like?" She asked.
"What's what like?" Lily asked confused.
"Having no family." Laila said.
"It's hard to explain. There is always a feeling that you are lost, and that there is a whole in you heart. Why do you want to know anyways?" Lily replied.
"Just because." Laila looked away while the tears filled her eyes. She sniffled and wiped away a falling tear.
So everyone there is your chapter. Hope you enjoy! Kelsey
