A.N Hey guys here's the next chapter as promised.
Chapter 24. Part 3.
Lily flicked her hair behind her shoulder as Sirius sat down.
Their eyes never broke contact.
They were silent for a moment and Sirius gave Lily a sly smile.
Harry watched curiously.
He couldn't understand what was happening.
Finally Lily broke the silence and eye contact.
"What are you doing here Black?" she asked in a low voice. Sirius grinned.
"I think you know the answer to that question" Sirius answered slowly. Lily shifted uncomfortably on the spot she turned her head towards the great lake. Then she snapped her head back into his direction.
"Don't tell me you thought I wouldn't notice?" she shot back. Sirius shook his head and laughed.
"No, of course not. Nothing could be kept from Lily Evans' knowledge!" Sirius answered dryly. Lily's posture hardened.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked coldly
"You mean you don't know?" Sirius asked, his eyes were wide with mock shock. Lily narrowed her eyes.
"What are you talking about Black" she asked. Sirius' face turned hard.
"For six years you rejected James, insisting that he was shallow. You treated him like dirt and refused to believe him when he told you that he actually liked you!" Sirius said harshly, he pressed every word as if driving them into her heart. Lily suddenly looked pained.
"I know but-" she began but Sirius stood up angrily.
"Now you KNOW just how MUCH he cares about YOU! Now you suddenly decide that he was being sincere after all and you get together with him and sure James is welcoming you with open arms even after all this time. But don't make the mistake in thinking that you deserve it Evans! As far as i'm concerned you don't deserve HIM"
Harry stood still, horrified as he watched.
He expected his mother to open her mouth in shock or look annoyed but to his surprise she didn't. Instead she bowed her head and tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"I know" she answered between sobs. Sirius was about to continue shouting but suddenly looked lost for words. He watched Lily weep and sat down awkwardly by her side.
"I've been so - horrid" she exclaimed. Sirius' expresion softened.
"I won't argue with you on that one" he replied sofly. He patted Lily's back awkwardly. Lily sniffed and tried to compose herself.
"I'm sorry Black" Lily said quietly as she lifted her head suddenly and wiped her eyes impatiently.
Sirius looked up at the sky for a moment and closed his eyes. He shook his head slightly and sighed. Then he turned back to Lily.
"No" he said gently. Lily looked at him in surprise. Sirius stood up.
"Call me Sirius" he said. Lily's eyes grew wide and she nodded quickly. She stood too.
"Sirius" she said hessitantly. Sirius nodded and smiled slightly.
" You better call me Lily then" Lily said quickly. "I hate being called Evans" she continued as she scrunched up her nose. Sirius began to turn away when he decided against it.
"Why did you come here?" he asked. Lily looked down.
"Tonight is the full moon" she replied. "I had to see for myself." she continued. Sirius sighed.
"Don't - Tell - A - Soul" he breathed. Lily nodded earnestly.
"You shouldn't have come, if you got bitten-" Sirius broke off and closed his eyes. Then he shook his head.
"You shouldn't have come" he said sternly. Lily nodded with wide eyes as she backed away.
"I'm sorry Sirius" she said.
Suddenly there was howling in the distance. A large wolf tumbled out of the woods and bounded towards Sirius, Lily and Harry.
Sirius turned abruptly and pulled Lily behind him. He jerked his head back at her and yelled "Get back to the castle". Lily turned and ran.
Harry watched Sirius transform as the wolf reached him. The wolf jumped on the shaggy dog and they tumbled about on the ground.
The wolf half heartedly snapped at the dog before galloping towards Lily who was running towards the steps to the castle.
Harry's breath got caught and he ran after the dog and wolf.
He passed a strange tall, dark figure but thought nothing of it, Lily screamed as the wolf ran headlong into her legs.
She fell to the floor and the shaggy dog jumped on top of the wolf. They rolled around on the floor and snapped.
They growled and snarled, Lily struggled to get up, Harry willed her on and hoped she would be alright when suddenly someone grabbed his arm.
Surprised Harry jerked his head over his shoulder and found himself looking at Professor Snape. The growling faded and the castle turned into the walls of Harry's dormitory. Snape stood furiously before Harry, his notrils flared and face deathly white.
"What do you think you were doing Potter?" he spat. Harry looked at Snape confusion filling his brain.
"What-" Harry began but Snape interrupted.
"You've been missing for three days" Snape snapped.
Harry just stared back in disbelief. No, it wasn't true, he did not just spend three days in a penisive. Snape scowled.
"What have you got to say for yourself Potter" he asked acidly.
"I- didn't know- three days?- How is that- possible?" Harry stuttered. Snape pulled Harry across the room.
"You've gone straight into his trap. Your weaker than I thought." he growled. Harry stumbled and looked at Snape full of shock.
"Who's trap sir? What are you talking about?" Harry asked politely in hope that Snape would tell him. They hurried down the spiral steps and entered the Griffindor Common room. Harry gasped.
The carpet was shredded, the sofa's and squishy chairs were smoking and there were pieces of scorched parchment all about then room. Snape stopped walking and turned back to Harry.
"The Dark Lord was here Potter. He was here and thanks to you he has killed everyone at Hogwarts" Harry sank down to his knees, full of horror, guilt, disbelief and utter exhaustion.
"Ginny..." Harry breathed as a tear fell down his cheek.
