Lily came out of her hiding spot as the boys had gone, "What…?" Kelcy asked,

"He has a crush on you." Lily said dragging her into Potions.

"Lily, have you seen James?" Professor Slughorn asked.

"No Professor." Lily said.

(That evening)

Lily was doing some homework, when she heard a cry, she opened window and a black owl flew in.

Lily saw something on its leg and took it off.

Look east, then north a floor and look for the black door.

She did and gasped, "Snape, what are you doing?" She ran to the common room, "Remus, Sirius Peter?" It was empty.

"Lilykins, did you call us?" Sirius was at the stairs she grabbed his arm,

"Ouch, this is hurting! I didn't mean it!"

"Read and follow." She said,

"So it's Snape…"

"You black haired fish with one eye! James, they are holding James up there, look harder." Lily snapped

She sprinted down the stairs followed by Sirius who grabbed Remus and Peter.

"I know where that is." She stopped as she realised she was at the door she turned and grabbed something.

"Oi!" Was heard,

"Snape! Open the door. NOW." Lily said yelling, He did, "Remus look after him." She went in followed by Sirius.

"Prongs?" Sirius asked. "PRONGS!" he ran to his best mates side, "What, Lily… help." Lily was there, "Peter, get the headmaster and Madame Promfy. He's been attacked, by… by a Death… Ea…ter." Lily stopped. She walked outside the door, "YOU, KILLER! Even though he is not dead, you attacked him. YOU COLD BLOODED ATTACKER!" Lily was screaming.

"Lily, calm down." Dumbledore was there. "In there." She said shaking, "Remus, Peter take Lily back to the dormitory." He turned, "My office." He said leading Snape away.

It had been 2 days since James had been attacked and Lily still had not visited him, Snape had detention for the rest of the school year, and life was pretty quiet. Lily wrote to her family, telling them what had happened to her and James, when she got some shocking news, she had just received the Daily Prophet, when she saw the headlines

HALF THE FAMILY, DEAD

Half of the Potter family have been murdered, except for James Potter and his parents, all the rest of his family gone.

They include….

Lily stopped, she ran to the hospital wing, "No you can't come in." Madame Promfry said, then she showed the newspaper, "10 minutes."

Lily ran in, "What are you doing here…" James said,

"James, your family, except you mum and dad." She gave him the paper and sat down.

His eyes widened. "Go." He whispered.

She left, telling Remus, Kelcy, Peter and Sirius along the way.

Sirius left headed towards the hospital wing.

It had been 2 weeks and James was finally out of the hospital wing with a long scar down his arm.

For the next 3 days Lily said nothing to him except a quick hello and that was it. Then one night they finally had the chance to talk as they were on patrol.

"James, I still haven't had the chance to thank you for saving my life on the train."

"It's ok, I saved yours and you saved mine. Plus Sirius thinks you were pretty cool yelling a Snape like that."

Lily blushed, "This is for you." She took out the Invisibility cloak and gave it to him.

"Thanks, you feeling ok?" James asked.

"Yeah, just tired, why."

James stopped outside the Fat Lady, muttered the password, "Go and get some sleep, I'll be fine. Can you keep a secret?"

Lily nodded

He muttered something else, a map appeared with everyone in Hogwarts.

"Just look around, you'll find me." James said as he walked down the hallway.

Lily ran up the stairs and into her bed and watched every move that people were doing.

At midnight she put it under her pillow and fell asleep.

"Lily, can I have it now?" James whispered to her.

Lily nodded and gave him the map, as he muttered something else everything drained away.

"Thanks." She whispered back and smiled at him

Lily walked down the hallway to Care of Magical Creatures and out the door, "Lils, wait up!" She heard. She turned around and saw Kelcy, James and Remus running towards her. "Come on slowpokes!" She called running, but then stopped. The weather had turned horrible, a dark grey sky and storm clouds were heading their way. The group shrugged their heads. As they approached the cabin where Professor Justin was waiting for everyone. "Come on everyone. This way."

Everyone followed the Professor to the lake, "We are going to the be studying the merpeople that live here. I want you in groups of four, start." Remus, Kelcy, James and Lily walked to the far end, James whispered, "Get it out." Lily and Kelcy looked puzzled. Remus pulled out a flute and began to play a quiet, peaceful tune. Lily smiled and looked into the lake, she whispered, "Look." A merperson had emerged. It had a translator in his mouth, "Hello, have I seen you before?"

"Remus and James. This is Lily and Kelcy." James said.

"Ah James! How are you my boy! I'm Jackson, the head guard of the king."

Kelcy sat forward, "Can I draw you?"

"She's a excellent drawer." Remus replied and Kelcy blushed.

Jackson nodded and kept floating on the water.

After 10 minutes, "I'm done, thanks." Kelcy said as Lily and James finished studying the clothes and features.

"Your welcome, start playing if you need me," He dived in them came back up, "When are you free, the king wants you to play for him."

"This weekend, here at noon." Remus replied.

The merperson vanished.

"Come in everyone." Professor Justine called. Everyone handed in their project and walked to the castle.

James winked at Lily as she smiled and blushed, "James can you come with me", Dumbledore asked as they entered the Hall.

James nodded and followed Dumbledore as they went to his office, "Mum, Dad?" There stood 2 figures, looking sad but happy to see him.

"We have some news, your Aunt Joy, cousin Samantha and Grandma Justine are all alive! Your grandfather is in a deadly coma and so is Uncle David and cousin Tammy."

James smiled, he loved Sammy and Tammy, they were twins and so much fun to be around, plus they were witches, "Can we go and see them?"

"Yes, there is some bad news, you're going to leave Hogwarts, even though it is the last year."

"WHAT! You can't." James replied turning and running out of the room, he ran all the way to the lake, where he stopped, "My life," he said.

"James?" It was Lily

"Hi Lils, There is good news, my twin cousins Sammy and Tammy, Aunt Joy, Grandma and Grandpa are alive. The bad news is that mum and dad are taking me out if Hogwarts forever."

"WHAT! James, you can't." Lily had tears streaming down her face,

"I know… come with me." James stood up and they sneak into the common room, where James grabbed his invisibility cloak and looked at the map, his parents were coming.

(This is with Lily)

Lily sat reading, while waiting for James, when she heard voices, "I'm sure we'll find him. Lily, have you seen James." Professor McGonagall asked.

"No I haven't," she smiled at the Potters, "Lily Evans."

"Nice to meet you, Lily." Mrs Potter said as they left the common room. Lily nodded and sighed, she heard footsteps, James was there, "Come on."

He threw into the fire some powder, took Lily's hand and they walked into the fire as he said, "St Mungos Hospital."

In 2 seconds they were standing in a deserted car park, "Let's find everyone." James said.

They walked to the counter as James said, "The Potters."

"Third floor, room 2." Said the lady at the desk, not even looking up. James and Lily walked up the stairs and found room 2, they knocked and found Sammy, Joy and James' grandma sitting next to Tammy's lifeless body.

"Hi everyone!" James said walking in.

"James, how are you?" his aunt asked, Sammy bounded up

"Hiya Prongs! And…"

"Lily Evans." Lily replied, smiling.

"Let the boy breathe, how are you James? James?"

"Tammy." He said looking at his cousin, she was now stirring and opened her eyes, "Hi Prongs, how are you!" She said.

James sat down with Lily next to him. "Bad." He mumbled.

"What?"

Lily looked at him she smiled at him and took over, "Not to good, he was really happy to hear about you guys, but his parents are taking him out of Hogwarts…"

"Tomorrow." James replied, looking unhappy.

"Excuse me but how many months are left?" Tammy asked

"Ten." James said. "Three months until Christmas and seven until we finish Hogwarts."

"Thank you for telling me James, now go back to school and I will talk to you mother." His grandma said.
