Christmas from Hell.
'Hey Lily wait up!' a voice screamed loudly running up behind me.
'What Potter I don't have the time for this or you.' I said and continued walking down the corridor.
'Dumbledore told me to tell you to go and see him after Transfiguration.' James said to me.
'Fine I got the message happy!' I said and kept walking.
'Fine gawd why are you always such a bitch?' James said as I walked in the other direction. I felt my feet spin me on my heels to face him. I saw that look "O oh she's mad" in his eyes
'Why am I always a bitch because you're always an arrogant prick!' I said loudly and walked away. My head was saying don't cry its just Potter and my heart was saying cry you bitch just fucking cry cause you know you love him.
'Snap out of it Lily.' I mumbled to myself as I walked into Transfiguration NEWTS.
'Miss Evans talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.' Another familiar voice said from behind me.
'Remus tell me again why that lot are your friends.' I said glancing over at the other three marauders who were messing around. Sirius smiled and gave me a little wave.
'Because they are the nicest guys you could ever meet and you know it inside of you. But there is one I am not all that sure of…' he started and I interrupted.
'Who Potter no need to say.' I said starting to laugh.
'No actually Peter but James is a really good mate. So don't diss him or you are dissing me also.' Remus said in a huff.
'Sorry but one day you will realise that I am right and you are wrong.' I said and looked behind me to see Snape halfway through trying to scare me.
'Going to all that trouble are we Snivelly just to scare me with some stupid plastic spider. Very Good absolutely brilliant. EVERYONE CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR SNIVELLY WHO THOUGHT HE COULD SCARE ME WITH A STUPID SPIDER.' I said yelling out the last part. Everyone laughed and clapped while I took a bow and Snivelly crawled back to his seat in shame.
'Oi Where's McGonnagal?' Sirius yelled before there was a very loud bang. A few of the other girls screamed when ten or eleven death eaters appeared at the front of the classroom.
'Silencio!' one yelled
'Lockomediately!' another yelled at the doors.
'Now ladies and gentlemen of this class welcome to your death but you are all Gryffindor's who have to be killed Slytherin's have been spared please move aside.' A sneering voice said
'Now what are the odds. Lets see one two three…' the voice behind a mask proceeded to count the Gryffindor's that were huddled in the centre of the room. I quickly did a head count seven to eleven not good. I thought about what spells to use.
'Okay Seven to Eleven… You're gonna lose!' the voice sneered.
'Malfoy you should know better than to sneer like that it's obvious as to who you are.' James said bravely.
'You know you are right I mean you are all going to die anyway. Reveal yourselves.' Malfoy said and they removed their masks.
'Come on guys we can do this I know we can.' I said quietly.
'Yeah sure thing.' Remus said in agreement. Before I knew what was happening we were all engaged in a full on battle of wits and spell knowledge.
'Lily behind you!' James screamed I turned and quickly cursed the male death eater who was approaching me from behind the dirty barstard, I thought and continued to fight.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' I heard the familiar voice of James scream as he jumped in front of me to stop a shoot of green light hitting me. Oh no Avarda Kedavra, I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks only I was left standing the other's had been hit by an assortment of curses. There was three death eaters remaining, Malfoy, Crabbe and Yeasting. They had all graduated the previous year.
'I'll leave you two to deal with the mudblood.' Crabbe said.
'Yes tell Lord Voldemort that Potter is dead and I send my gratitude to him for giving me this chance.' Malfoy said I rolled my eyes.
'You are such a suck up Malfoy.' I said and looked into his eyes deeply enough to see fear and anger.
'What you scared of a filthy little mudblood.' I said trying to scare him more.
'NO I am not and I will let Yeasting deal with you so I can watch you suffer.' Malfoy sneered.
'You know the rules of a duel I presume?' I questioned Yeasting.
'Yes and it looks like you don't have a second.' Yeasting said and smiled evilly.
'OR Not!' a voice said from behind me.
'James your alive?' I questioned.
'Nice to know you know my first name. Now about this battle.' James said and pointed to Yeasting who was ready to battle.
'On the count of three.' Yeasting said I nodded.
'One Two Three!' Yeasting yelled.
'Avarda Kedavra!' I screamed and a jet of green light shot out the end of my wand and hit Yeasting fair in the chest killing him instantly.
'That was for all those people you have killed.' I said to Malfoy who turned to disappear.
'Shit scared of a mudblood hey Malfoy?' I questioned
'No just out numbered.' Malfoy said and disappeared.
'Whats the counter curse for that stupid spell they put on the doors.' I said and looked at James who was jumping over limp bodies and dead ones.
'Hang on where's Peter?' James said looking around.
'Here!' the voice squeaked from behind the desk.
'Okay then…' I said thinking why he was still alive or not paralysed.
'Now a counter curse for this stupid door.' James said
'I think I could give it a shot.' Peter said.
'Yeah okay go ahead.' I said and almost laughed but I managed to refrain myself from laughing.
'Fine I will. Lockumulous.' Peter said and the door unlocked.
'Go and get Dumbledore and McGonnagal and any other teachers you see on the way to Dumbledore.' I said to Peter and pushed him out the door.
'Alright I need some white sheets for the dead ones which is four, and I hope to heck that these teachers get here quickly.' I said and James handed me four sheets. I placed them over the dead bodies and then I saw her, my best friend Miah Coulter. I walked over and felt for a pulse.
'Make that another white sheet.' I choked through tears. James conjured up another white sheet and threw it over her. I walked over near a wall and slid down it. I placed my head in my hands and started to cry.
'Hey that last spell was pretty amazing is that the first time you've used it?' James said
'I just don't use illegal spells for the fun it was the first one that popped into my head. I thought you were dead how did you survive that no one else has ever survived that spell.' I said and looked up at James whose face had a slit across it.
'I don't know I went up to heaven or whatever you call it and the gate person said I had a meeting with god. He showed me you and told me I had to help you and give you everything I possibly could and he said I needed a second chance to prove myself.' James said and smiled slightly. He sat down opposite me and I started to cry.
'Why why her and not me she did not deserve it neither did the others we did not ask for this.' I choked through tears.
'Shhhh.' James said and wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly while I cried on his shoulder.
'What on earth happened in here?' Dumbledore's voice said in a hushed calm tone.
'Death eaters I knew a few. They came in here and spared the Slytherin's Voldemort's orders and started to duel us three dead students and two dead death eaters and everyone else was cursed.' James said standing up with me still in his arms.
'Oh my.' McGonnagal said walking in to her ashen classroom.
'Dead ones I presume are under the white sheets?' Dumbledore questioned.
'Yes.' James answered simply.
'Oh professor by the way I wasn't one of the last ones standing I hid and James and Lily were the last ones left.' Peter squeaked not wanting to take the praise sounds strange I thought to myself.
'Ahh yes all shall be revealed now about the students. Please could you take all the cursed to Madam Pomfrey to UN curse and Peter please help Professor McGonnagal with that.' Dumbledore said as McGonnagal moved the limp bodies of alive, cursed students to the hospital wing.
'Now we are only left with cursed death eaters and dead people.' Dumbledore said and peered under all of the white sheets.
'Now I will send for the minister and some auror's to dispose of these vermin.' Dumbledore said he wrote four parchments and called his phoenix Fawkes to him. He tied all four to the phoenix and the bird flew away.
'Now you must tell me the entire story at separate times.' Dumbledore said. I started to speak through my tears and finally I finished when James told his side of the story.
'Hmmmm. Let me get this straight you were hit by Avarda Kedavra and you used it?' Dumbledore questioned.
'Yes.' We said together.
'Could you demonstrate it on this spider?' Dumbledore said pulling out a large spider from his pocket. I mustered up all my courage and strength.
'AVARDA KEDAVRA!' I screamed loudly at the spider a green shot of light came out the tip of my wand and hit the spider that dropped dead.
'Happy and no I refuse to use it on James now if you don't mind do something.' I said angrily at Dumbledore who stood there with a puzzled look on his face.
'Miss Evans I can not do anything.' Dumbledore said and looked at me.
'You barstard neither Miah, Brodie or Caleb deserved what happened none of them and you stand there and say you can't do anything at all. I used to look up to you but now I don't you are not supposed to stand there and and and not not not bloody do anything about what has just happened none of them deserved it and and and we sure as heck did not ask for it!' I screamed and ran out into the rain. I ran until my legs could carry me no further I broke down in a puddle of mud and started to cry as hard as the rain was pouring down.
'I HATE YOU VOLDEMORT I WILL KILL YOU IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO!' I screamed loudly through the tears that were hurting my eyes to cry.
'Hey come inside you will get sick.' A voice behind me said
'James I hate him I hate him they did not deserve that nor did we ask for it.' I cried looking up at the boy who had matured into a man in a matter of seconds an hour earlier.
'Hey I know I know. Come on everyone is to stay in the hall with the heads on guard and that means us.' James said and picked me up and carried me like a gentleman to the hall.
'Awwww is ickle Lily alrighty for the big nighty.' Sirius Black teased as James carried me in.
'Nice to see you to Sirius.' I said and smiled vaguely and blankly at him.
'Aw she knows my actual name it's just not Black.' He said and pretended to faint.
'Be shocked very shocked a few things have changed not all but a few.' I said and looked at James.
'Oh so James must be one of those a few things.' Sirius teased in a fake gay voice.
'Maybe but don't go counting your chickens before they hatch.' I replied and found a spare sleeping bag next to two others.
'That's mine.' James said and Sirius claimed the other one so I had the middle one.
'I can look after myself you know.' I said and got in and went to sleep. The next morning Dumbledore called James and I to his office.
'Good morning. Now please sit down.' He said gesturing to two chairs. 'Now for these holidays Lily you must stay with people who have the power to protect you so I have organised for you to stay at the Potter's your family agrees it is for the best just for now.' He finished.
'Great I have to spend holidays with Spazzy Magee.' I groaned and left his office. The next day we left school for the Potter's. When I arrived he introduced me to his parents who were quite nice.
