I don't own any characters

They all belong to J. K. Rowling

She didn't know what to say to him but she had to say anything but the truth. She looked into his eyes and ……………

Laughed.

"Why would you care what happens to me you hate me remember besides it isn't any of your business" She was angry and it felt good. It was the first real emotion she's felt all year.

He seemed shocked at her outburst at first but then he smirked at the girl. "Indeed it isn't any of my business but I'm curious as to who did this and why" he let go of her arm and pulled her shirt back up gently so as not to cause her anymore harm. She turned around and began to leave suddenly she stopped and without turning around said to James

"Besides Didn't you know?"

He seemed surprised she said anything back to him

"Know what?"

"Curiosity killed the cat" and with that she left. Her bags in hand and went strait into the cab to go home. She had wasted too much time already and she had to cook dinner tonight.

She arrived home at around 8pm and immediately began to cook she knew the quickest thing to make he would be home in half an hour. When she finished she laid it out on the table and went upstairs. She hated seeing him come and not long after that thought ran through her mind his car pulled up into the driveway she heard the sound of the engine stop and then heard the door open then close. If he didn't like how she cooked she would have major problems.

She was up another hour before he came upstairs and went into his room as the door closed an owl pecked at her window she quietly opened her window and allowed the owl in. it was Sirius's owl she could tell, the owl came around to her place a lot. She took the letter it dropped and gave it an owl treat for its flight home. She opened the letter.

Dear Lil,

I'm coming over tomorrow when he leaves for the ministry. I'll be there at around noon. I'm bringing new medical supplies for you to keep don't worry about the cost it's on me.

Love Always,

Sirius Black

She smiled to herself she always loved when he visited her. Not long after she lied down on her bed and fell to sleep. The sun as always woke her up. She did what she always does every morning and made breakfast for her stepfather. She went back upstairs and showered and brushed her teeth. She put on some sweat pants and a large t-shirt. She put on a pair of fluffy slippers and headed back downstairs.

There was a knock on the door She opened it with a smile on her face. Sirius stood outside the doorway with his father/ her stepfather next to him. He had Sirius by the collar of his shirt. They were not of age yet to be able to use magic outside of school so they were both helpless. He on the other hand had a large advantage he could use a wand. With the hand he had free he pulled lily into the doorway with Sirius right next to her by the hair. She gasped as her head was shoved backwards. He looked into her eyes then threw her into the coffee table. He was angry that much was obvious.

"What the hell is the meaning of this mudblood" he then turned to his son

"Why are you here what reason have you to come over here?" no one spoke he was drawing conclusions in his mind and they were not the type of logical conclusions most would come to.

"So my son and my daughter in law are seeing each other" he turned to lily

"You little slut sleeping with this piece of trash. Although I must say Sirius nice way to take advantage of a mudblood. Like I taught you use them then loose them or get rid of them same thing if I had known you meant to kill her I would have welcomed you back into the family months ago" Sirius was trembling with anger power penetrating off of him.

"How dare you speak of lily like that you are an evil son of a bloody bitch I would never do such a thing to lily as you do to her. How dare you lay a finger on her! She is worth more than a million of you." His father took lily by the hair and turned her around to face Sirius

"You think this is worth anything than you're sadly mistaken" he had a cold and evil glint in his eye. He took out his wand and pointed it to her neck and said in Latin "amburo intus" She fell to the floor withering in pain she felt as though she was burning from the inside out she wouldn't however scream for that will make him more malicious. Sirius punched him in his side and that stopped the curse for now.

His father turned on Sirius and flicked his wand in the direction towards the wall and Sirius was thrown into the wall. Lily got up slowly and tried to head for the stairs while his attention was turned away from her. She made it to the last step and crawled to her bedroom door before he noticed she was gone he looked towards the stairs and saw a pair of legs struggling to get up Sirius ran to his father and tackled him to the ground trying to give lily more time to do what she was planning to do.

She opened the door and crawled to her bedside table and opened the drawer and took out her wand. She could hear her stepfather struggling with Sirius. She couldn't allow Sirius to get expelled for using a wand so she would have to do it. With a newly found strength and courage she got up and ran downstairs

She felt better protected now that she had her wand. She saw him waving his wand at Sirius in the air blood running down from a wound in his abdomen his breathing becoming shallower.

She felt tears sting her eyes but she willed them away

"Let him go!" he turned to her and smirked at her

"As you wish" Sirius fell from the air to the ground with a loud sickening crack. His arm was bent in a very odd shape as was his leg. She ran to him and bent down checking for a pulse. He was still alive. Suddenly she was flung backwards into the kitchen

"So lily it's just me and you as always get up bitch and don't you dare go unconscious." She was bleeding from her head but he pulled her head back and shook her awake. Her wand was limply grasped in her hand.

"You can't win Lily you never could your too weak." He mumbled a curse under his breath and touched the tip of his wand to her forearm and slowly traveled up burning her skin and opening a gash up her entire arm. Then he touched his wand to her leg and created a deep burn line on her leg and turned her around and did the same to her back.

Tears were freely falling form her eyes and she was whimpering he took her by her arm intending to drag her to Sirius's side when she wouldn't budge and her arm was dislocated again. She paid no attention to the pain and stood up and drew her wand up and pointed it to his chest and in a quick move of her wand he was blasted to the other room by a red light. She ran to Sirius and took off her necklace and muttered

"colloportus" she took Sirius's hand and made him touch the necklace and she touched it as well when just as they were to leave a dagger had hit her in the back but it had worked and they were transported to the only person she knew could save Sirius and herself Susana Archibald's home.

Her mother was a healer she landed outside the house. She wanted needed to allow the darkness to overcome her she needed rest but first she had to save Sirius and herself. She tried to wake him but he was out like a light. She got up still with the dagger in her back and put Sirius's arm around her good arm and dragged him to the doorstep. Her feet were stumbling beneath her and she fell but she got back up and reached the doorstep. She placed Sirius on the floor gently then lifted the large knocker with difficulty and let it fall it took not 3 seconds for a house elf to answer. Lily's feet gave way and she fell to the ground. On her knees she looked at the elf in the eyes and mumbled help before passing out.
