CH. 10

Three days until the Halloween Ball! I am so excited! We, James and me, have the list of bachelors and bachelorettes put together. Oh, speak of the devil. Here comes James.

"Hi!" I say cheerily as he walks up to me with his friends. Peter is giving me a funny look and I take a step backwards. That kid is creepy.

"Good morning my Lily Flower. How are you?" James does a funny little bow and looks at me for an answer. I'm just gonna play along today.

"Why James, I'm glad you asked. I am doing marvelously." I laugh at the look of astonishment on Sirius and Remus' faces. Peter just fell down a flight of stares. HeeHee.

"What? Is it something I said?" I ask with a look of pure innocence on my face. We enter the Great Hall for breakfast and split up.

I sat down with my friends now and talked with them about who knows what. The fluttering of wings informed us that the mail had just arrived. I was about to reach for a piece of toast with jam when a tawny owl, with a thick parchment envelope attached to its leg, landed in front of me knocking my pumpkin juice over and staining the white table clothe a sticky orange. I untied the letter and opened it. It read as follows:

Dear Miss Lily Rae Evans,

We are unfortunately informing you of the passing away of your father Mister Mitchell Thomas Evans. At three-thirty this morning the Evans manor was attacked by a large group of Death Eaters. Your father was the only one there. Your sister Petunia Jennifer Evans/Dursley was safe at her home with her husband Vernon Marcus Dursley. Your sister will be handling the funeral arrangements. It will be held on September 6th if you are able to attend. We are sorry for this inconvenience and give our sympathy.

Minister of Magic,

Mr. Crouch

"Inconvenience?!?! Bloody hell! It's not an inconvenience you rat! It's horror! Terror, mass chaos!" I was yelling and the whole hall turned to see what I was yelling about. My knuckles were white and my face was pale. I began to shake and stood up. This was outrageous. Inconvenience my dead mothers grave! I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I pushed through the doors. I ran as fast as I could through the entrance hall and out onto the grounds, the letter had fallen to the ground. My mother had died when I was six and now my father. I only have my rotten sister left now. No one to live for, no one to make proud. I don't know how I managed to get here but now I'm at the lakes edge. The tears are falling like a waterfall and my face is in my hands. My body racking with sobs. Why? Why my family?

"WHY!" I was screaming through my tears now. Why? Why my daddy? My daddy that always had a smile, my daddy who always knew exactly what to do. Why my daddy? Right when I begin my most important year and he's taken away. The rays of sunlight shone down and the last thing I saw before the ebbing darkness took over was James running towards me.
