Lily and Rose stepped over the low cement wall that divided the estates. Lily could not believe that she agreed to go to James Potter house. Was she crazy? Lily noted that the Potter's estate was much nicer than Roses'. The hedges were cut and the woods were a lot nicer laid out. Everything was trimmed back and Lily saw a green house far off.

"I heard them outside earlier," Rose inquired ahead of Lily.

"Super," Lily said sarcastically.

The kept walking until they hit a dirt trail and traveled that instead. "Do you hear that?" Rose answered in a whisper although Lily couldn't understand why.

"No," Lily answered loudly.

"OY who goes there?" A voice sprang out behind them, Lily rolled her eyes. She could already guess the voice of James Potter. She had heard it one to many times.

"It's us you dorks," Lily shot back crossing her arms.

James and Sirius popped out from the mist of trees. "Hey Rose- Lily?" James said mouth agape.

Lily rolled her eyes looking away; she didn't want to deal with this over the summer. "Hi Sirius," Rose said next to Lily giving her flirtiest smile.

"Hey Rose," Sirius said smiling back just as flirtatious.

The stood there quiet for awhile, no one talking then of course James broke the silence, "Anyone care to go flying?"

"I'm never getting on a broom again," Lily said shaking her head. Her first year learning how to fly, Lily had fell thirty feet from the air; she vowed never to touch a broom again.

"I'll go!" Rose said giving a little step forward.

Sirius shrugged, "You sure you don't want to go with us Lily?"

"I'm sure," Lily said thinking that she would get a chance to look around while they were gone.

"Suit yourself," Sirius said leading Rose away back to the castle. Lily assumed that they were going to get his broom.

James lagged behind, "Do you want me to-"

"No I'm fine on my own," Lily said quickly, the last thing she needed was to spend time with Potter.

James shrugged appearing hurt but followed Sirius anyway.

Lily looked around and noticed a sign; she walked closer to read it. It had arrows pointing ever which way and each had words on it.

Pet Cemetery

The pet cemetery seemed interesting enough and she wondered what sort of pets James had had. She went in the way of the arrow, following the trail that was leading to it. Soon enough she came to a gate which was the entrance to the large wall around the cemetery. She pushed the gate open, and Lily was amazed to see so many gravestones in such a small area. Lily stepped over a few and noticed that each gravestone said something different, and the words on it would change. It didn't take long to realize that it had been Sirius' and James' pet and the gravestone was jinxed to read what they had been saying.

She bent down to read a large gravestone in front of her.

"Here lies, Spunky, our most beloved hamster. Spunky was the best hamster a boy could want.

Except he couldn't swim, Prongs.

Right you are, Padfoot, and that was the end of Spunky."

Lily wasn't sure weather to laugh or frown, so she went to another gravestone.

"Fluffy had the heart of a lion even though he was a snack.

A snake that doesn't understand not to eat Swelling Solution. Boy, he swelled up like a balloon. It's a shame we left that out, Padfoot."

Lily laughed, standing up straight. This was pitiful, it was so funny. Leave it to Potter and Black to be able to kill off at least 100 pets. Lily left the cemetery walking to the direction of the Fort.

She spotted it at least 20 yards away. The fort was large and up in the trees, it appeared as though the trees were straining to support such weight. Lily climbed the latter leading to the top of the fort and was surprised to see it looked rather nice. It had a couple sofas and a telescope. Lily took a seat looking around and the place and something on the wooden wall caught her eye. Walking up to it, the thing of the wall was a heart, inside the heart were four letters.

Lily rolled her eyes. He doesn't love me, she thought, I'm just the girl he couldn't get a date with and it's hurting his ego. She climbed down from the fort and continued to absent mindedly walking.

She thought back to the day when James' had been picking of Snape. Did Snape really deserve it? Lily didn't think that he did, so why did James' and Sirius' enjoying tormenting him so much?

Lily heard a twig snap behind her and she turned around quickly, seeing no one she began walking again, but rustling in the bushes brought her to a stop. She took out her wand.

"Potter if that's you, you're in serious trouble!" Lily said looking around for any signs of a person. Foot steps of someone stepping on the gravel came from behind Lily and she sprang around and gasped at what she saw.

Standing before her was a large cloak hooded person pointing their wand at Lily. It mumbled something under the hood and light shot towards Lily, who shot out of the way in time. "Furnunculus!" Was the only thing Lily could thing of.

The person under the cloak screamed and Lily knew that boils were sprouting up on their skin. "Impedimenta!" Lily shouted and a pink light shot to the cloaked person causing it to stop moving. Lily ran into the woods, looking behind her, the spell wouldn't last very long, she wasn't great at it. Sure enough, the cloaked person began moving once again, chasing after Lily.

Light hit Lily in the back and she fell to the ground unable to move. Lily attempted to shout back a spell but she was unable to speak. Another stream of light hit her back and her eyes squinted in pain. She felt her mind going blank, another stream of light hit her back once more and the cloaked stranger was standing by her.

I'm going to die, she thought closing her eyes. But nothing hit her again; she opened her eyes and was surprised to see James Potter before her shooting curses to the cloaked stranger.

Then everything went black.
