MY HAPPY ENDING!

CHAPTER: 4

BLACK ROSES

I wake up, at 6:00am and another crazy day, whoever said that life was fair, didn't know life at all. The morning is finally here and I can't help but think of the words of the only one who has known me as, a living thing. I turn over and I notice that there is a bit of parchment there.

"Lily," it read... "I cant talk you into being open, but maybe I can show you... meet me on the Quidditch Pitch at 8:30, maybe you can live..." The note ended with a beautifully drawn rose, the rose was all black except for one red petal.

I thought about it, and weather to except the offer from the stranger, and I finally decided that I should, after all... maybe I should try to, try to be friendly, to Re... but what if it wasn't him.

Beside the bed I saw a parcel in black parchment, and red writing, it read Lily... what is going on today? I thought as I ripped the parcel open, it was a beautiful necklace, a beautiful enchanting locket. Of the surface it read, Find The Key? And there was a little key hole, but no key.

Suddenly there were noises, and I quickly pocketed the locket and slipped into the bathroom, before the voices emerged from the hall.

"Oh sorry..." Said a squeaky voice, Lily remembered it was Trish, but what was she doing in here, this wasn't her house. "Guys don't!" I hear jade scream.

"Oh shut up!" Two evil voices say, probably Kat and Lissa.

"Now then where is that little bitch?" Trish says.

"She isn't a bitch... she is actually nice, well most of the time..." I hear Jade plead.

"Deal with her you to!" Trish says, presumably to Kate and Lissa, I hear a struggle going on, and some laughter, before a blood curdling scream.

"Just leave her, common we will find that little slut... That Lily Evans!" I hear their laughter leave and I quickly run out to find Jade on the ground, blood spilled all over.

"Oh MY GOD!" I Quickly ran over to her... "Are you alright?"

"Ya... I got a pretty bad cut on the back of the head when they threw me on the floor though."

"here hold on!" I race to the bathroom to get a towel, and place it on jades head. "what did they want any way?"

After a few seconds of delay, "You..." Came the response.

The rest of the day was spent up in the dorm, I didn't even come out for classes. Then the clock strikes 8 and I decide to go and find the writer of the note.

I slowly walked out of the dorm, and made my way out of the common room, the halls had a sort vacancy though it was only 8. the wind blew and I could head it through the window I was now passing, I put my hands in my pocket and grasp the small locket.

I exit the door that leads to the Quidditch pitch, and I could see I figure standing there with a broom in his hands. As I near I could tell that I should just turn back, but my heat screamed to go on... so I did.

The figure turned as I neared and, I knew then that I should have turned back. But it was too late James had already seem me and was nearing. Then he spoke as our faces met. "Get on." He said, this was no joke I could tell, his eyes we almost black and so I did the one thing the broke me free the one thing that I thought would give me light... I got on.

We few high in the sky and I could feel his warmth, the love that he held, but I knew that the darkness and I couldn't bare to go any farther, but I could also not speak, for he was so empowering, and so I gave in, I just gave into every emotion, and then it was over, as soon as it began. We landed by the lake, right by a old oak tree.

"Well?" he spoke. I said nothing.

"am I really that bad?"

"no... its just... well I cant ...you me..." I put my hands in my pockets and I grab onto the thing that was left on the night table. "What is this?" I asked befor I thought.

"It's a locket." He said dully.

"But with no key?"

"It does you just have to be in love before you find it."

"Then why did you give it to me?"

"Because I already know who I love."

"You do?"

"Yes. Why so many questions, for the past few days you have hated me?"

"I... I don't know."

"Lily?"

"Yes James?"

"Would you come to the Christmas ball with me?"

"Oh James... I really don't know..."

"Don't say no, we both need this."

"Okay... on one condition."

"What?"

"You cant hurt me."

"Okay, deal."

After that night the days flew by, and I was once again in solitude, and I was once again all alone, but this time it was different, I had light, and right before Christmas I was going to the ball with James.

It was December 21st the ball was set for the 24th and then most of the kids would get the late night train that was arranged. There was a hogsmeade visit for today, and I decided to go, because I need a dress.

It was still early in the morning and so I decided that I would no bother to wake anyone, not that it mattered. I made my way down the streets of hogsmeade and I came across a small little shop near the outskirts of the small village, the little shop had no name out front, but a small display, drew me in.

I entered the small shop and was greeted by a small plump woman that looked very pleased to see me. "Hello, why hello, come in get out of that cold, do you need a dress?"

"Yes I actually do."

"Well come right here, hmm small nice figure red hair... ah I have the perfect thing." The lady led me through a small door into a room with many, rails of dresses, she pulled out a dress and I gasped.

"Yes its beautiful isn't it? Well go try it on." I came out of the dressing room and the lady grinned. "Its perfect." The dress was a dark green, it had a corset top with a light green ribbon tying it and came to a bow in the back, the bottom came just past my knees and was jagged and copped, but was supposed to be the that, the bottom part was made of a flowy material and I know that this was the right dress.

I quickly paid for the dress and made my way back up the streets to hogwarts.

All I had to do know was wait for the ball.
