Chapter nineteen.
Last night I had the weirdest dream ever, it was so real, but it couldn't possibly be. James was at his house, and Katherine was there, Claudia too, they were going to do something, Sirius was there but he didn't know hat was happening. Katherine had a sword. I don't understand…
Oh my god! They are going to kill him. Oh my god. The dream was real. Oh my god. I have to save him. I sound like one of those corny peoples in a movie, but oh my god. Oh my god how many times did I say oh my god?
Where's my bag? Ah, here it is. Where are my car keys?
…
Thank god, I got my license last summer holidays, where is James' house? I wish I could apparate. Woah nice house, they must be rich, oh my mum would love this garden, very nice. Lily! Snap out of it! You're getting sidetracked. Oh my god I'm talking to myself, I'm going mad. Where are Ellie and Emma when you need them? Emma is in America; Ellie is with Remus. Mobile Phone, where are you? Ah! Hurry up! Pick up the damn phone; I have crazy ancestors about to kill my boyfriend.
Newsflash Lily: he's not your boyfriend.
Oh shut up conscience! How can you be writing in here?
I am the amazing, all-powerful conscience of Lily Evans; I can do anything.
Go away, I'm waiting for Remus to pick up his bloody phone.

"Remus! Oh thank God. I need you now, and Ellie. Get to James' house right now!" Lily said frantically as she ran up the path.
"Lils what's wrong?" He said,
"No time, just hurry!" she said as she tried to ram the door open, it was locked.
"Alohamora!" she pointed her wand directly at the doorknob but nothing happened, "Oh shit! James has all those charms on the dumb house."
She ran around the side of the house looking for a way to get in when she heard a clunk. She had stepped on something very hard; she stomped hard on whatever it was. Lily knelt down on the ground and using her wand blasted some of the grass away, it revealed a trap door, which was obviously a muggle feature of the house that the Potter's didn't know about. It was locked, so she muttered, 'Alohamora' and it clicked open. Lily whipped up the trap door and climbed inside. She found herself in a dingy old room, the ceiling was very low, she figured this was probably an unused store cupboard.
"Where the hell am I?" she said to herself, her question was soon answered when she found another trapdoor, she pulled it open, it revealed a long staircase, which Lily climbed, her heart was beating rapidly. She had mixed emotions of fear for James and curiosity about the Potter's house.
Lily reached the top of the staircase to find yet another trapdoor, she yanked it open and climbed out. She looked at her surroundings; it was a bedroom.
Diarecordium Spell Terminated.
Okay, I think this is James' bedroom, oh! How sweet! He has a picture of his parents… and one of me, how did he get that? It is rather messy though… Lily you're getting sidetracked again, oh my god what the hell was that?
I just heard a scream, they aren't supposed to kill him face to face, it has to be a freakish event, but not with the actual ghosts! It should be like falling into a pit of lethal frogs and having your flesh eaten or something like that! Not murder by ghosts! Where the bloody hell are they?
Diarecordium Spell.
"Sirius!" a voice yelled, "Make it stop!"
"I don't know what's happening, James what is going on? I can't see it"
Lily rushed down the stairs, throwing her bag on the ground; she had her wand in her back pocket, just in case the ghosts got violent.
She saw James, pain spread right across his face, Sirius was in the corner cringing with fright, because he had know idea what was happening.
James had a yellow light coming out of his chest; he was being lifted off the ground.
"Leave him alone!" Lily screamed, to Katherine who was holding the light with her sword, Claudia seemed to be in a daze,
"I can't. He is the sacrifice to finish the curse and release us from our suffering" Katherine said gleefully,
"NO! Get someone else to do it! Not James!" she begged, "Claudia! Help me!"
Claudia remained in her dazed state as Remus and Ellie burst through the door of James' bedroom.
"What's happening?" Remus screamed,
"Can you see the ghost?" Lily asked him
"No, just a light coming out of James."
"It's the curse, it's going to kill him if we don't stop Katherine."
"A curse?" he asked,
"Asteria." Ellie said,
"How do you know?" Remus asked her,
"I found out in fifth year."
"Okay! Stop telling your life stories and help me!" Lily yelled,
"Oh, sorry." Remus said quickly, as James let out another ear-piercing scream, the light grew brighter.
"No, you are not going to take him!" Lily threw herself in front of James, making him fall back on to the floor, at this Claudia woke from her dazed state, "Lily, stay there, you must stay where you are." She yelled, "It cannot hurt you because you are the one carrying the curse in you!"
Lily nodded, the light wasn't hurting her, it was just draining all her energy, it made her feel like she was aging very quickly.
"What's happening to her?" James yelled,
"I'm not sure, she's not in pain though." Claudia said, "Katherine cannot see or hear the other people in here, nor can I, but I sense them. Lily needs the sword, get them to help her get the sword."
"Remus, tell Lily to get the sword!"
"Lily, get the sword off her!"
"How?"
"I don't know, think of something." Remus yelled,
"Summon it!" Ellie screamed to her,
Lily grabbed her wand out of her pocket with the little bit of strength that she had left, "Accio sword." She said quietly, the sword flew into her hand, reversing the light, pushing it on to Katherine. Katherine dissolved slowly, screaming as she disappeared. The only thing that remained was some sand, just underneath where she had been.
Lily fell back, dropping the sword, she hit the ground with a thud, she was unconscious.
"Lily!" James cried,
"She's ok." Claudia said calmly,
"How are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be gone like the other one?" James said,
"I wasn't hit with the light, I prefer being a ghost, and it's fun haunting people." Claudia laughed, "Lily will be unconscious for about a day, but she is fine, she just doesn't have any strength.
"Thank you." James said,
"Who is this James?" Remus asked,
"You can see her now?"
"Yes." Ellie answered for him,
"This is one of Lily's great grandmothers…"
"Oh don't call me that, it makes me feel so ancient, I prefer ancestor." Claudia said,
"She helped us break the curse." James finished, "Sirius get up, it's not like I'm dead."
Sirius got up, "I know. I wasn't afraid."
"Whatever Padfoot."
Diarecordium Spell Terminated.
