Chapter 12- Sweet Good-Byes

The next morning, Lily found Kristen on the sofa crying, holding a sheet of paper.

"Kristen?" Lily asked in concern.

Kristen looked up. Her hair was messy, her face red and her eyes bloodshot and puffy. She had apparently been there for hours. "They're gone." She barely whispered. Her voice was horse.

"Who?" Lily asked. Kristen handed her a piece of paper, which had been crumbled up in her hand. Lily opened it and read:

Dear Ms. Kristen Wilcom,

It is out duty, and is in our regret to tell you that Mr. Paul Wilcom and Mrs. Jane Wilcom were killed last night at home by Voldemort.

They were great Aurors and we are blessed to have worked with them. Someone will be over with information shortly.

Good day,

The Minster of Magic, Cornelius Fudge

Lily finished reading it with tears in her eyes. Her parents had always been so nice to Lily. They sent her a birthday's card, Christmas presents, and let her stay over the house anytime.

"Oh Kristen." Lily cried and hugged her friend.

Just then, James walked in with the "Daily Prophet" in hand. "Hey Lil-" He started and looked up seeing Lily and Kristen crying.

"JAMES!" Sirius and Remus yelled from the kitchen. Soon, he saw them running up to him, another copy of the "Daily Prophet" in hand, reading the same article James was. They stopped the entire racket, when they saw Kristen get up, push everyone aside and run to her room.

"Kristen-" Lily said and ran after her.

Sirius' face tensioned and he became mad. "Those stupid death eaters, and their pureblood, I could just-"

"Pad, stop." James sighed and sat on the couch, hand in his hands.

"Kristen!" Lily knocked on the door. It was locked. "Kristen let me in!" She head silent sobs, and then the door opened.

Kristen ran back on the bed, and Lily followed. "Hey, you okay?" Lily asked.

Kristen sniffled and answered, "No! Lily how would you feel if your parents died?"

Lily sighed, "I don't know. The same as you…accept more of a temper tantrum." Kristen chuckled a bit.

"Hey, I just want to be alone for a while, okay? I'll be down for lunch." Lily nodded and walked out the door, closing it she heard it lock.

"How is she?" Sirius asked as soon as Lily came out.

"Not so good." Lily replied. Sirius sighed and ran a hand through his perfect hair.

"Well I'm going to go talk to her." He said finally and walked to her door.

"She wanted to be alone!" Lily yelled after him. Sirius just shrugged.

"Kristy doll?" Sirius asked through the door.

"Sirius?" She asked behind the door.

"Yeah, it's me. Can you let me in?" He asked sweetly. He heard the door unlock, and he went in.

Kristen was a mess. She was in her pajamas, he hair was all over the place and her cheeks red from crying. On top of al that, her eyes were bloodshot and were very puffy. Sirius immediately pulled her into a hug.

Kristen hung onto him like there was no tomorrow and cried into his chest. "They were supposed to be there forever Sirius! My dad was supposed to walk me down the aisle as I got married. How can they if they're dead?" She asked.

Sirius sighed, "I'd give anything to take away the pain Krist. I really would." His eyes were tearing up as well.

Kristen broke into more sobs, and Sirius could feel his shirt wetting more by the second. "Shh….it's okay…." He said soothingly into her ear.

She pulled away, "How? How will it be okay? How will I be okay?" She asked, and sat on the bed.

Sirius sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her, as if he was protecting her from something. "I don't know Kristen. Im a matter of time, I suppose."

"You suppose? You mean you don't know?" She asked.

Sirius sighed. Who could ever do this to this girl? "I do know one thing." He paused. "That no matter what, I'll be here every step of the way." He said into her ear.

She looked up at him with a smile. "You don't know how much that means to me." He simply kissed her forehead, as she drifted to sleep in his arms.

Mr. Potter and Mrs. Potter was at the kitchen table, in awe as to what was in the newspaper. "Poor girl." Mrs. Potter mumbled.

Mr. Potter said in return, "How could he do that? How could it happen? The house was safe and secure! It was hidden, how did he find them?" He asked in astonishment.

She sighed, "I don't know."

Lily however was crying her heart out into James' chest. "They were so good to me. They were more like my parents than my real ones!"

James sighed. There was nothing he could do. "I don't know Lily. But Voldemort kills without guilt, regret any feeling what so ever. He's a monster."

"You got that right." Lily said and sighed. "Im suddenly feel hungry. Let's go eat." She said, realizing what position she was in.

Sirius awoke an hour later, and looked at Kristen, who was still sleeping in his arms.

Kristen's eyes fluttered open, "Hello sunshine." Sirius greeted.

"Did my parents really die? Tell me it was a dream!" She said sitting up.

Sirius gulped, "They are."

Fresh tears sprung to Kristen's eyes. Sirius sighed, "Come here." and she leaned into him.

"We can't do this!" Kristen said. "I have a boyfriend!" She said, but it sounded empty. She sat up, away from him.

"So? You can't deny it any longer. Admit it, you have feelings for me." He said his voice full of sincerity.

Kristen sighed and looked at him. She remembered the time he pushed her in the lake, and how he was always there for her. "Your right." She gave in, laying back down in his arms. She looked at the clock. "Im hungry."

Sirius chuckled, "Come on, let's get something to eat."

Kristen thought for a moment, "No, let's go out. I don't feel like being in a depressed house."

Sirius smiled, "Alright, let's go." he said opening the door.

Kristen looked at herself, "Like this, no way!"

"You still look beautiful to me." Sirius said kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Whatever. Just wait here okay? I'll be ready in about 15 minutes." She rushed to the bathroom.

Sirius chuckled and muttered, "Women." and left.

"Hey, is she okay?" Lily asked as Sirius walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah." Sirius sighed.

"Where is she?" James asked.

"Getting ready. We're going out for lunch." He explained.

Lily smiled at James and then at Remus. "Alright." Lily said.

James laughed, "Just don't do anything I wouldn't."

Remus snorted, "James, think about what you just said."

"What's wrong with it?"

Lily laughed, "With you ways; that isn't saying much."

"I thought you wee dating that Ravenclaw girl. What's her name?" Remus asked.

"Melinda?" Sirius asked. Remus nodded his head, "Please that was only to make her jealous."

Lily smiled, "So does that mean you two are together?"

Sirius wondered for a while, "I don't know. It's all confusing." He then smiled, "I hope so."

Just then, Kristen came in with tight jeans and a blue turtleneck. "Wow." Sirius said under his breath.

"Ready?" She asked him.

It took him a while to respond, "Yeah let's go." And they were off.

"Well, looks like I don't have to do anything." Remus said and got up, putting his dish in the sink.

"Don't sound disappointed." Lily said, "They got together on their own."

"Yeah, I wish you two would too." Remus said under his breath.

"What was that?" James asked.

"Nothing." Remus lied and walked away.
