Dumbledore then turned around and looked around for something, leaving the Marauders to stare at him curiously. After a few moments of him searching, Dumbledore sighed and bent down. Sirius and James exchanged looks when they say Dumbledore taking off one of his black boots. He took his wand and pointed it at his boot, muttering a few words. Then, he turned back to them and said in a serious voice, "Take this portkey. It will take you near the Infirmary at Hogwarts. When you get there, I want you to tell Madame Pomfrey to check Miss Evans and Mr. Potter over. Tell her I will explain things to her when I arrive."
They nodded to him and Peter took the boot from his hand and the rest all touched it. A few seconds later, they felt a tug on their naval and then they were off.
Dumbledore turned and busily began to move some of the children onto the train.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A few seconds later, the Marauders found themselves sprawled across the floor right outside the Infirmary at Hogwarts. Sirius bent down at picked Lily up off the ground, she stirred a little, but did not open her eyes.
Remus opened the doors and helped James along, Sirius following close behind, while Peter brought in the rear, shutting the doors behind him.
"MADAME POMFREY!" bellowed Sirius.
The nurse walked out of the other door across the large room looking quite flustered.
"How…what are you five doing here…and…what happened here?" questioned Madame Pomfrey seeming to be overwhelmed at just seeing the four worst troublemakers in her Infirmary at this time, no less carrying the once again unconscious Lily.
"Dumbledore said that he'll explain everything as soon as he gets here." said Remus, helping the exhausted James over to a bed.
"Over here, Mr. Black." motioned Madame Pomfrey. Sirius set Lily down on the bed next to James.
"S-she's been hit with the Cruciatus Curse. James as well." said Peter, flustered.
Madame Pomfrey looked up at them, shocked for a moment, then got back to work on Lily. She rushed over to her potion's cabinet and pulled out some bottles.
Disconcerted, she looked over at the other three Marauders. "You boys scurry along off to the feast now. Go on. Come back tomorrow."
"And when does the feast start?" asked Sirius, almost smiling.
"It's probably already started, silly boy." snapped Madame Pomfrey, not in a great mood.
"No one is even here yet, Madame Pomfrey. We took a portkey here. The train probably has about a few more hours to go." explained Remus.
"Oh, bugger," Madame Pomfrey muttered almost inaudibly. Sirius and Remus exchanged looks, apparently hearing it perfectly. "Well, then, just-just go to your common rooms."
"Please Madame Pomfrey…can't they just stay here. We're all really worried about Lily." pleaded James, lifting himself on his elbows.
"Lie back Mr. Potter." ordered Madame Pomfrey, busily stirring something blue. She looked thoughtful for a moment, her eyes softening. Then she said, "Alright, you lot can stay. Just stay out of my way. Lupin," she said, "Take this and stir." She shoved the concoction into Remus' arms; he began to rapidly stir.
"Black, go fetch some of that pink stuff out of my cabinet. Pettigrew, grab some blankets over there. If you children are going to be staying in here, you could help somewhat." Although her tone was rough, she couldn't keep the bittersweet affection from her eyes. These students cared so much about each other and they were just realizing the harsh world surrounding them was about to get a lot worse.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
About a half hour later, James was sleeping peacefully, Lily was still unconscious but healing nonetheless, Madame Pomfrey had gone into her study to do some parchment work, Peter was looking at one of the moving paintings in the room, and Sirius was sitting in a chair, staring out the window. The only sounds in the large room were coming from the window panes which were being beaten furiously with another flurry of pounding rain. Another storm was coming again.
Remus saw the troubled, sad look on Sirius' face and walked over.
"Alright, Padfoot?" he asked quietly.
Sirius looked over at him, smiling sadly, "I just can't get the picture of that killing curse hurling towards Lily out of my mind."
Peter walked over to them as well, taking a seat.
"Can you believe something like this actually happened?" he asked.
"Oh, I think I could imagine." replied Sirius, half-heartedly sarcastic, rubbing his tired eyes.
"No, I mean, that You-Know-Who actually was bold enough to attack a train full of students." explained Peter, his ears turning pink, a little embarrassed.
"I think 'bold' isn't the right word. 'Sadistic' would be much better suited." muttered Remus.
They all sat in silence for a while until words burst from Sirius' angry, trembling lips, "This is his doing! It's all Malfoy."
"Oh, I'd have to say Voldemort played a tiny role in all of this." Now it was Remus' turn to be sarcastic.
"We should have known something was up the minute we saw Malfoy on the platform. Why else would he go to all that trouble to come back here when he could have just gone to Durmstrang or Beauxbatons? Why didn't we stop him?!" Sirius pounded one of his fists into his palm angrily.
"I think we were all caught up in our own astonishment to act upon rational feelings. We were angry and very protective of Lily on the platform. We didn't stop to think wisely." said Remus.
Peter looked over at a muggle cloak, straining to remember how to tell muggle time. "I think it's almost time for the feast."
"Yeah, we'd better head on down there or McGonagall will have our heads." said Sirius.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The seemingly infinite storm was still in full swing by the next morning. Rumors had ignited to an all time high. Despite the fact that Dumbledore had done his best to explain the actions on the train without raising fear into the student body, different tales were told all around the castle. Lily caught more than a few faces sneaking peeks into the hospital wing, no doubt to get a glimpse of her and James to see if one specific rumor about Lily and James taking on not only Voldemort, but fifty of his death eaters, seven hippogriffs, three ferocious dragons, and (it really goes to show what people will believe if some stranger tells them what happened) 15 unicorns all by themselves had any truth behind it at all.
Around nine o'clock, Madame Pomfrey was satisfied with her checkup with the two (they were just a bit pale and frightened, but who wouldn't be after what they went through yesterday) of them and allowed them to leave after they finished their breakfasts and she handed them each their timetables. Double NEWT's Transfiguration was their first subject. James and Lily walked a bit wobbly out of the hospital wing, not really hearing Madame Pomfrey as she said, "I've to talk with the Headmaster about something." And she followed them out the door. And they didn't notice as she kept on following them all the way to Gryffindor tower, where she made her way straight down the hall, thus walking right back to the Hospital wing.
Lily and James grabbed their textbooks from their trunks in the Gryffindor tower, both of which had been taken out of the train and into their dormitories most likely from the house elves. Lily had to practically shove James out of the portrait hole, amidst his protesting of, "We've already missed half of it! Why not miss the rest?!"
So, now here they were: James watching with pitiful eyes as Lily opened the door to McGonagall's classroom. As soon as they walked in, close to thirty pairs of eyes were on them. Seventh and sixth year Gryffindors and Ravenclaws that had decided to take McGonagall's Advanced NEWT's class, and the McGonagall herself all looked up from their work; the atmosphere in the room was terrible, if felt like someone had died. Not a single smile or a ghost of a smile was on anyone's face.
"Get back to your essays, please," said McGonagall quietly. Everyone but a few obeyed.
Lily was quite surprised. Usually if a student walked in halfway through the class, they'd receive detentions. Sneaking a questioning glance at the strict teacher, she and James took some seats. Lily took a seat next to a seventh year Ravenclaw with dark brown hair. She recognized him to be Darren Mitchell, the beater for their Quidditch team. Smiling politely, she reached into her bag and took out some parchment and a quick with ink.
She glanced over towards James and saw Peter was telling him what they were to do. Remus and Sirius were at the table in front of her boyfriend, working furiously she presumption due to the ink splattered carelessly over Remus' nose as he scribbled on his parchment wildly.
Turning back to her table partner, she smiled again at him and he nodded his head in acknowledgment.
"Hello," she whispered, "I'm Lily Evans."
Darren replied shortly, "Darren Mitchell." He went back to his writing. Lily was a bit taken aback; he seemed to be a little rude. Nonetheless, she really did need to know what she was to be doing.
"I don't suppose you could tell me what our assignment is?"
"We've got to write as much as we can about the Teapot Theory by the end of this lesson." Darren whispered back, not looking up from his parchment.
Lily nodded and muttered, "Thanks."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Anyway, we left around eleven after Pomfrey shoved us out of there and tried to sneak in during breakfast, but she indecently enough transfigured some large green lions to stand guard at the front of the door, probably to keep all those nosy buggers out of their," said Sirius as all four of them walked out of McGonagall's classroom an hour later, their hands cramped from all that writing they'd just finished.
"Well, with the degree of these rumors going around here, I too would want to see if these two here really can split their beams of the Stupefy curse into quarters to hit four people at once," chimed in Remus, grinning a bit amusedly at the ignorance of the students here. He was trying to break the thick environment around them. Students all around them were throwing apprehensive looks their way, seeming almost afraid of them, or afraid of what they had saw last night.
"You've known us for years, Moony, and you're still wondering?" asked James jokingly and feigning cockiness, playing along with Remus. "Of course we can do that…after all, we are direct descendants of Merlin himself!"
All four boys started to laugh, feeling a bit looser and better. Lily smiled a bit, but her attention was lacking from their conversation. She felt the back of her neck tingling. She knew that tingle. Someone was staring at her. She turned her head just a little to the right, wondering what it could be. Turning her head a little more, she saw McGonagall out of the corner of her walking a few paces behind them in the halls. She had been looking right at them, but quickly changed her path of sight when she spotted Lily looking at her.
Lily turned back around to see James smiling at her, chuckling at something Remus had just said. Lily forced a laugh and tried to join in the conversation so the Marauders wouldn't be suspicious.
And all the way to the Great Hall for lunch, Lily felt that familiar tingle on the back of her neck.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As McGonagall entered the Great Hall, and still eyeing the Marauders and Lily cautiously, she finally tore her eyes away from them and looked up at the teachers table, seeing the Headmaster staring at her through his half-mooned spectacles. She gave a little nod of indication to his unasked question.
McGonagall took her seat up on the right hand side of Dumbledore; to her left was Professor Flitwick. Words were not needed to know what they were all so caught up about. It was now common knowledge in the wizarding population that Voldemort was raising to power at miraculous speed. Dumbledore looked around the Hall, noticing effortlessly the lack of normal happy conversation between the students. All that was being said in the Hall were whispers and if not that, silence.
"They're frightened," said Dumbledore, "You can see it in their eyes."
"As well they should be," snapped McGonagall a little tersely, "Even the bravest of hearts have fears. No child should be subjected to that kind of inane madness at this crucial point in their life."
Dumbledore drew in a long, tired breath and said quietly and effectively, "Voldemort (he ignored McGonagall's flinch) may have failed in his original plan, God know what it may have been, but he did succeed in something greater. He struck fear into the lives of not only all of Hogwarts peers, but their parents as well. I will be most concerned in seeing just how many parents pull their children out of Hogwarts for good."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N- sorry I hadn't put in the rest of the preview things. Next chapter will finish the rest of them up. For now, I wanted to get this chapter out as quick as possible and I also wanted your input on something.
Sometime in the near future, I'm considering posted another story (so many ideas are flooding my mind) as well as continuing my others as well. I've got three separate story plots, and I've had the strangest desire to put another one of those "movie trailer previews" I did for the sequel of Once Upon a Time.
So, here's the deal, I put up three separate story trailers, and you tell me which one of the three I should write. And please read all of the rules.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
Never underestimate the power of the light.
*FLASH*
"Do you believe in miracles, Harry?" Hermione asked. She, Ron, and Harry were lying on the grass by a lake on a beautiful sunny day, looking up at the clouds.
Harry didn't speak for a few seconds, but then he said, "Absolutely."
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
*FLASH*
"Not another bloody DADA teacher." grumbled Ron.
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
It is said that heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
*FLASH*
"Do you think they're proud of me, Sirius?" asked Harry with tears filling his eyes, looking up at the standing Sirius.
Sirius looked down at the double tombstone that read:
'Here lies Lily and James Potter.
Loyal friend, loving parents, and courageous believers in righteousness.
In their absence may there be hope and faith and remembrance.'
"Oh yeah, Harry…without a doubt." He replied. He closed his eyes painfully and turned away.
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
What happens if you are equally hero and legend?
The doors to the Great Hall flew open and two figures stood there, cloaks over their heads. Harry, though not seeing their faces, felt his stomach give a familiar jolt for some reason unbeknownst to him.
Dumbledore stood up, smiling politely and said, "I'd like to introduce our two new students. Miss Mary Smith and Mr. John Smith."
I'm loving angels instead
Harry Potter is about to enter his most significant year at Hogwarts.
"You'd better watch it, Potty. There are things going on…things that would make your skin crawl just by hearing it." said Malfoy, surrounded by his usual flock of cronies.
"I'm sure if you can handle it with such ease, Malfoy, then I could very well live through it and not so much as quiver in my right pinky finger." retorted Harry, eyes livid with rage.
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
Imagine the miraculous possibilities that could happen if you have faith.
"I never asked for this! Why do I have to be the bloody 'boy-who-lived'?! Why not the 'boy-who-died!? At least I would get to be with my parents!" shouted Harry.
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
"They loved you, Harry. They still love you. Not even Death can change that." said Mary.
Harry didn't lift his head from his hands. "You'd be surprised how much Death can change." he spoke bitterly.
she won't forsake me
"If you have faith and hope…Death has no negative power over you." Amanda persisted. This time, Harry did look up into her eyes, feeling a familiar jolt in his stomach again.
I'm loving angels instead
"There's something off about those two…I get a weird feeling from them. Have you ever seen them catch each other's eyes? It's… peculiar." said Hermione, talking about Mary and John.
"You're just saying that because Harry's taken some sort of special interest in Mary." Ron grinned calmly.
The tension is building to an all time high.
*FLASH*
"Well I should care, shouldn't I?! Harry is my boyfriend, and I will not have him stole away from me by some fifth year girl!" shouted Hermione, standing up from her seat on the common room couch, eyes positively glowing in rage.
A war to end all wars in the wizarding world.
When
I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down
A one way street
"Any students sixth year and older may volunteer for battle. But, might I suggest you think with extreme caution about it?" announced Dumbledore.
The trio looked at each other doubtless, and each said simultaneously, "I'm in."
I look
about
And I know I'll always be blessed with luck
"I never meant to hurt you, Hermione. She…she just seemed so… familiar," bumbled Harry.
"So, you have no romantic interest in her…any at all?" asked Hermione hopefully.
Harry smiled at her, "None whatsoever."
And as
the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
"Wands at ready!" shouted Dumbledore.
And when love is dead
A blinding flash of pure white light burst suddenly all around the land. Every single person had to shield their eyes. But, just as soon as it came, it was gone. And they were all left staring at the source of the light.
"It's impossible…is…is that who I think it is?"
"Lily and James."
I'm loving angels instead
Harry slowly turned around and looked up, his eyes meeting their twins.
And through it all
She offers me protection
"You're parents were bold and daring, Harry. They were stubborn, brave, and good all the way down to their very core…you're just like them," whispered Remus.
Harry looked up from the picture album he was holding, a lone tear treading its way down his cheek.
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
"It was never your fault," James fervently whispered, compassion in his eyes. "Never."
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
"You think we could win now?" Moody asked Dumbledore, both staring dazedly at the sight above them.
"I think this increases the probability in our favor just a bit," replied Dumbledore, that old twinkle returning to his eyes.
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
"I've been alone for so many years. Now…I've got my friends back," said Remus to the group around him.
She won't forsake me
"We'll meet again someday, Harry. You'll see. Remember…if you have faith and hope, Death has no negative effect over you." she said, kissing Harry on the forehead tenderly.
I'm loving angels instead

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
Grey clouds were forming all around Hogwarts. A set of footsteps became louder and louder to the occupants of the Great Hall during lunch.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
Lily Evans sat with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, wondering where her boyfriend, James Potter was.
In that instant, the doors to the Great Hall opened with such force a large BOOM! echoed through the hall.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
In the doorway stood a panting man, drenched in rain. He had obviously just been outside. He wheezed for a few more seconds until he could get his voice back.
Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And when he did, Lily desperately wished he hadn't.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
"A student was murdered tonight in the Forbidden Forest," said the man loudly so it would reach Dumbledore's ears, who was seated at the teacher's table, "A Mr. James Potter was hit with the killing curse."
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
A man was sitting next to a window, watching the rain pelt against it. An Invisibility Cloak lay down by his feet.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Suddenly, the door to the room opened up and the man snapped his head around in surprise, trying urgently to put on the cloak. But it was too late. In the doorway stood Sirius, Remus, and Peter, all looking like they could faint at any moment.
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive
"James," whispered Sirius, not at all noticing the tears that fell from his eyes.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
*FLASH*
"Somebody tell me what the bloody hell is going on around here!" shouted Sirius just as they all heard footsteps rapidly approach their room.
Quickly, Remus threw James the Invisibility Cloak and he put in on just as the door opened in ran Lily, ignoring the questions of all three of the visible boys. She flung herself onto James' bed and threw the covers over her. Muffled sobs were heard underneath.
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Sirius and Remus exchanged a pitying look and walked over to the bed.
"Lily," said Remus softly, sitting down on the bed and peeling back the covers.
Mascara-streaked, Lily lifted her face to meet his.
And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
*FLASH*
"You can't live your life like this, Lily. It's killing you," pleaded Sirius.
Lily just lay motionless, not seeming to have heard him at all.
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
"Why can't you just tell her!!!?" shouted Sirius.
"I just…can't!!" retorted James, "You guys weren't even supposed to know!!!!"
And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
*FLASH*
"Lily? LILY!?" shouted Remus, rushing over to her bedside.
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
James dropped the cloak. Lily's eyes widened and she screamed.
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
"Don't touch me! Don't even look at me!" screamed Lily, backing away from him.
James looked at her with said eyes, "Please, Lily."
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
"So…Potter is alive," hissed a dark figure with red, glowing eyes.
I just want you to know who I am
*FLASH*
"That offers still stands," James smiled, holding out her ring, "If you still want to."
Lily looked back and forth between his eyes and the ring. Finally, she opened her mouth to answer.

RULES FOR STORY PLOT #3-

Regular- setting the scene and the dialogue between the characters
When the word *FLASH* appears, it means the scene changes
Warning: It very AU! Remus and Lily are twins. Again, major AU!
Read On!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The bonds of being a twin are hard to break
*FLASH*
"Remmie?" whispered a little redhead about the age of five.
A little boy at the same age lifted his head off his pillow and rubbed his tired eyes.
"What?" he whispered back.
"I had a bad dream…can I sleep in here tonight?"
Remus frowned and then said reluctantly, "Sure."
Lily rushed over and hopped into his bed, giving him a great bear hug.
How far could someone go to actually break the bonds?
*FLASH*
A big flash of lightning followed by a big burst of thunder came suddenly inside a park. A foot stepped in the muddy ground.
A little kid with light brown hair pushed his way passed a bunch of bushes.
"Lily!" he shouted, "Come on, mum says we have to leave." He paused, hearing no answer and then shouted again, "Lily!"
Lightning flashed again.
*FLASH*
"Mum, I can't find Lily," the little boy cried out, running towards an older woman, man, and three other little boys, one with glasses and black hair, one with longer wavy black hair, and one with light blonde hair and a small nose. They were all under some umbrellas.
The older woman snapped her head around to look at her son. Her eyes were full of worry. "Where was she last, Remus?"
I never meant to cause you trouble,
And I never meant to do you wrong,
How far could someone go to split a once happy, close-knit family?
*FLASH*
"Eight year olds just don't disappear, Margaret!" shouted a man, Joseph Evans, furiously inside the living room of a once cozy house.
"Don't you think I know that!" screamed back a woman. Neither of them noticed their son, Remus, sitting on the stairs, gripping the banister tightly, his eyes full of sadness and dread.
*FLASH*
How long does it take to forget your other half?
"Happy Birthday, Remus!" smiled Margaret. You could tell it was a forced smile. Deep inside, Margaret was crying her heart and soul out. This was the third 'single' birthday instead of 'double' birthday in a row they'd be celebrating.
"Thanks mum," said eleven year old Remus, a little downheartedly. "Has a certain letter come yet?" he asked pointedly, talking about his Hogwarts letter.
Margaret smiled even wider and pulled out an envelope from behind her, "Just now."
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
O no, I never meant to do you harm.
*FLASH*
"Mum says it's alright if you stayed over for the summer," said Remus, pulling more mashed potatoes onto his plate.
James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew had on identical grins; "Excellent!" said James and Sirius at the same time.
"We're going to have such a blast this summer," said Peter.
"Yes well, she said that it would be nice to have some noise in the house again," said Remus with a sort of grim smile.
Immediately, the boys all became somber, thinking of their good friend, Remus' twin sister.
O no I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
*FLASH*
From somewhere in a far away gothic, cold castle, a redheaded girl walked somberly in a corridor, coming across a room where her father and his 'guests' have always conducted their 'business meetings'.
She looked in the room and saw her father right away on the high throne surrounded by people in dark cloaks. Her father hissed angrily at someone and, surprisingly, looked up straight at Lily.
"LILY!" he whispered angrily, "You know you're not supposed to listen in on Daddy's meetings."
Lily kept her head down meekly, "I-I'm sorry Father. I-I was just walking along the corridor. I'll be on my way now."
How far would someone go to learn the truth?
*FLASH*
"I've got to get out of here," Lily whispered to herself, wiping away the tears that she had shed a few moments earlier after being thrown and locked in her room.
"There's got to be something better out there," she murmured, pulling herself up to her feet to look out her tiny window and up at the winter night sky. "I'm living in a prison."
So I twist and turn,
Here I am in love in a bubble,
*FLASH*
"Can you please tell me how to get to the Headmaster's office," Lily asked, keeping her head down to hide her bruises.
The boy gave her a funny look and said, "You look like you should visit the hospital wing first."
*FLASH*
"Who's your father, Lily?" asked Dumbledore seriously from his place on her bedside.
Lily opened and closed her mouth a few times, not saying anything, looking down at the ground timidly.
"You can tell me, Lily," pressed Dumbledore gently.
"I-I don't know if I can," said Lily quietly, "You see, I think you and he don't get along too well."
Dumbledore furrowed his brows, "You need not fear me, Lily."
Lily took a deep breathe and said softly, almost inaudibly, "My Father…is whom you'd referred to as…Lord Voldemort."
Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
*FLASH*
"How could she forget us!" snarled James, stamping his foot like a child.
"It's the 'Obliviate' curse, Mr. Potter," said Dumbledore. "She remembers nothing about her first eight years of life, including the people she once loved."
*FLASH*
"For now, I want her to be with someone at all times," ordered Dumbledore. "Who knows what Voldemort may be planning to get her back."
The rest of the teachers nodded in agreement.
How much could a person suffer to figure if her reality really is reality…or if her life has been one huge lie?
*FLASH*
Rain was pelting down on Voldemort and Lily.
"I took care of you, Lily. I clothed, sheltered, and fed you. I am your father," soothed Voldemort in a too-persuasive tone.
Lily's scowl only deepened and she snarled at him, "I have no idea who my father is, thanks to you…Voldemort."
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.
"See? We have the same eyes, Lily. You are my daughter," said Joseph.
Lily stared at him with wide eyes.
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.
