Chapter 34: Fight

A/N: Yes, yes, yes. Sorry for the delay. I'm going to have to cut this story short. I'm going to continue on when I can... I'm hoping to get to forty chapters. But that means I might have to skip around. VOTE:

Forty Chapters to their death: one Grad, one Wedding, one Birth, and one Death.

Forty Chapters to their engagement: School, Work, get a house, ask her to marry... End!

Forty Chapters to Wedding: School, Work/house, engagement, Wed

Forty Chapters to Birth: Grad, work/house, engagement, wed and birth

!!!!!NOTE!!!!! Forty is what I'm hoping to get to, if I can't then I can't. The deeper I get into their lives means that the chapters might be quick: engaged one chapter, then married the next. Just to let you know how it'll be... so... pick and choose wisely and quickly! I NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!!! NOTE!!!!!

Disclaimer: I own a Kappa's... it Japanese, did you know? Lol But I don't own this. Got to go to Quidditch practice! SORRY CAN'T SUE!!

Fight
"Planning on telling me anytime soon?"

The silence in the room was broken as James sat up in Remus' bed and spoke to me. I sighed.

"I know you saw."

"Yeah so..."

"James, Lil," Sirius came rushing into the room. "Dumbledore wants to talk to you guys."

A scowl was on his face and I wondered why he'd be so upset. Surely he wasn't mad at Dumbledore for some reason? Maybe he was mad at Amos. I gripped James' hand tighter as I pulled him down the stairs. I figured out why he was mad easily. Standing next to Professor Dumbledore was Severus Snape. One look from Dumbledore sent Remus and Sirius walking up the stairs quietly.

James however, dropped my hand and charged forward. "What is that BASTARD DOING IN THIS HOUSE?!?!?"

"Mr. Potter—"

"NO PROFESSOR! DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP! HE PLANNED THIS! HE WANTS THEM DEAD!" James yelled pointing towards my parents.

I stepped forward. "No—no he doesn't. James he just wanted to curse them, remember what we heard—?"

"AND YOU THINK THAT'S OKAY?!? HE PLOTTED IT! WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH! AND CURSING THEM IS STILL BAD! IT WAS THE BLOODY IMPERIUS CURSE FOR MERLIN'S SAKE!"

"Stop attacking me," I said calmly. "I'm on your side—"

"AND HE'S ON THEIRS! WHY IS HE HERE? HE'S A BLOODY DEATH EATER!! HE WANTED TO HURT THEM!"

"James... my parents are okay!" I reached out to touch his hand and he stopped tensing slightly. "You haven't got to worry—"

"Lily," he turned around. "They're all I've got. THAT BASTARD KILLED MY MOTHER! AND THEN HE KILLED MY FATHER! BUT FIRST HE KILLED MY BOTHER! DAMN YOU TO HELL SNAPE!"

"That's quite enough," said Professor Dumbledore sternly. "You'll need to be quiet, or I'm afraid that I'll have to ask you to leave, Mr. Potter."

James glared at Dumbledore, but quickly pulled me into a tight hug. I was the only one that saw tears fall down his face. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him close to me. He let out soft sobs that I'm sure everyone in the room could here. I started crying too. Not sure why, not to sound stupid or anything. Maybe I could convince them that I was crying... so they'll leave him alone...

"I knew this confrontation would cause conflict. I'm afraid that I must be going, then. If you don't want to hear what we've got to say. But... just so you know, Mr. Snape came to tell me... he told me what he had planned and we were there to stop him. Obviously you had gotten there first. I came here to tell you."

I sighed, going on James' side. "That doesn't make it right. He planned it... I don't want to talk about this right now."

I pulled James up the stairs behind me and nobody questioned. Of course, I probably should have been with my parents. But... James was still trying to wipe his tears away. He stopped at the door, trying to get them off his face before walking in. I tugged his hand.

"No," he sniffed. "I don't want them to see..."

"James, they won't care—"

"Lily, I made—"

"Prongs?" asked Sirius popping his head out the door. "James, what's wrong?"

Sirius opened the door and I lead James in. Sirius rested an arm around James' shoulder. James sighed loudly; excess tears fell down his face. James sat down on the bed holding his head in his hands.

"Nothing... I just blew up at Dumbledore and Snape... and I started yelling about my brother—"

Remus stared awkwardly but didn't say anything. "James..."

"No, Sirius. It's nothing. I was being stupid, okay? I was mad because Voldemort killed my brother when I was in forth year. I was just stupid okay... now Snape is going to tell the whole school I was crying—"

"Not if he wants to live," snarled Sirius.

I smiled sadly, standing back so the two friends could comfort my love. They all talked in hushed voice as I made my way down stairs. I was immediately pulled into a hug by my dad and mum. They were talking but I didn't hear much of what they said. I was too busy thinking of other things. Other... James... things about James, rather. I ran a hand through my hair, only to find it fall to the ground. I was stressed... just great, I'm losing my hair. I sat down on the couch after Mr. Lupin suggested tea.

After a few minutes of listening to them, I fell asleep.
N.E.W.T's were coming in two days and I was studying my brains off. James and I had a lot to make up for. The Ministry owled me and said I didn't even need to take most of them, since I already had an indefinant job. But I was taking them anyone. Studying with James in late hours of the night. Then falling asleep while sitting on his lap. This, I thought, is the life we all should live. Falling asleep to a good book, in the arms of our most beloved partner.

Is that why Snape turned evil, I wonder. Because he had no girlfriend. No love life. Nothing to care about...? I wish I knew. But it scares me that I'm interested. James won't let me go within twenty feet of him. He takes out his wand threateningly and Snape backs off slightly.

James and I were stressed. Beyond belief we were stressed. The first thing we did after we finished exams was to sleep. But unfortunately, other things got in the way. Head's Duties, Order duties, packing... sleeping just didn't fit into our schedule. Between juggling all that we rarely had time for anything. But we made time for our friends.

The night before graduation James and I went to sleep early... but the next morning we checked our watches to find out we were late for graduation. We threw clothes around the room and stumbled into the shower; James with me. We got an approval, ha, ha, just kidding, when we walked into the Great Hall and onto the stage fifteen minutes late.
A/N: Sorry guys... I've got awful writers block. I've formed an obsession with Spider Man. My head hurts... and I really want to go to sleep. This was a short chapter, I know... barely over four pages... but I'll post more soon after I hear how far you want me to go. The time between the attack and graduation was spent studying... no need to write how exactly they studied.
