A/N: Before I start, I wanted to say, I made a mistake in the last chapter, it says that it was a November day- strike that, its mid October with NO SNOW. Sorry for the inconvenience. OK, I won't hold you up any longer- go ahead and read.
It Never Dies
"We should have black streamers."
"No, I think black and orange- it'll be more colorful."
"But Halloween is supposed to be scary, not a fairy wonderland."
"Am I asking for pink with purple polka dots?"
Lily and James were in The Three Broomsticks discussing the Senior Halloween Masquerade over butterbeer.
"But black is so much moreā¦black. I like it." James said.
"I'm sure you'll like this to," Lily leaned over the table and planted a kiss on his lips. "Now what do you think?" she asked.
"Orange and black." James said. "Definitely, black is way to... black." Lily laughed at him.
Peter entered the Slytherin Common Room to find a large group of Slytherin 7th years looking impatient.
"The Dark lord does not tolerate lateness." Lucius said. "But now that you have arrived, let us discuss a few things before we start. You may not tell a soul, except the people you see around you, that you have even thought to join us. Even if you change your mind and don't join us, you cannot tell anyone or else you will have three options:" Peter gulped. "One, you will be killed; Two, we will whip you to death (A/N: Is that possible?); or three, you will be killed." Lucius smiled maliciously. "And if you will choose to follow us, you will serve the Dark lord loyally, even if that means death."
Peter turned purple. He was reluctant at first with his answer; James, Sirius, and Remus were always so loyal to him, should he turn his back on them? Then he looked with fear at the people around him, and saw their confidence, their poise. He wanted so badly to be confident, to feel like he had someone supporting him in what ever he did, and most of all, to be feared.
"I-I am willing to serve the Dark lord faithfully and loyally, until the day I die."
"Okay then, tell me the whereabouts of James Potter."
Their pockets weighing down their robes with items bought at Honeydukes and Zonko's, Lily and James walked around Hogsmeade hand in hand.
"You're gonna love this place!" James said ecstatically. He tapped a few bricks with his wand and a new doorway appeared.
"Where are you taking me?" Lily asked, following James.
They kept on walking until they reached a gate that looked like it wasn't touched for ages.
"Close your eyes" James easily opened the rusted gate, covered in honeysuckle. She felt her feet being lightly scratched by grass as she walked down a few steps.
"You can open your eyes now" Lily looked and saw a huge flower garden, all of which were white Lilies. She wrapped her hands around his shoulders and kissed him passionately.
"I love you." she whispered softly after they broke up their kiss.
James tapped his wand and a blanket appeared. He laid it on the ground, as they sat together, the myriad of flowers engulfing them.
"Where did you find this?" she asked, running her hand through his hair.
"I made it," Lily gaped at him, in awe.
"You planted ALL this for me?!"
"I started in 5th year, and it grew into this, the flowers are under a charm so that the sun always shines, and they never die, like my love for you, no matter what ever comes between us, my darling Lily, I will love you, and that will never die."
Before Lily could even draw a breath, a deep but cold voice came from a distance but was approaching closer. It sounded like someone continually hissing and spitting, without drawing any breath. Red eyes appeared from under a black cloak, "The flowers will die, and so will you."
