disclaimer: not mine.

Words floated around her head in a hazy circle, people were trying to console her but it wasn't helping at all. She just sat quietly in her green armchair, her eyes were distant and she was looking very pale. She wasn't crying, her tears had run dry; her face was stained where her tears had been. They all knew she was hurting deeply inside. The question was: why? Why would that person want to kill Lily's parents? What did they do? Who was it? Maybe it was her fault.

Petunia hadn't really shown much emotion, she had been very disappointed that Lily had come to see her, no matter what the visit was about. She had frowned, the line on her forehead had creased, but she had done not much else.

James put his arms around her, he knew what she was feeling, his parents had been murdered in his seventh year at Hogwarts. She buried herself into his chest, soon they had all gone silent, and no one knew what to do or say. She sat there, while James held her, long after everyone was gone, they were still sitting there. Finally, after what seemed like hours, Lily spoke, in a whisper, very quietly.

"It can't be true. They can't be gone. It's not fair."

James kissed her on the forehead, he remained silent, and there was nothing he could say to help her.

He looked up at the clock; it was almost ten o'clock.

"Come on, I think it's time you went to bed." He told her kindly, Lily nodded, she stood up slowly, she tried to take a step but her knees wouldn't hold her, they buckled underneath her. Luckily James caught her. He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He put her down on the bed and turned around to leave.

"James?" he turned around, to see Lily looking up at him, "Please, don't leave me here by myself, I'm scared, can you stay?"

"Of course I'll stay, I wouldn't leave you, not now, not ever."

"Thank-you James." Lily whispered, and put her head on her pillow, and fell asleep. James pulled the bed covers over her.

Lily slept uneasily; she had a terrible nightmare;

She was running through a hallway, it had many doors on either side of the hall. She was frantically flinging open every door, she kept yelling out 'Mum! Dad!' until she came to the last door, she opened it slowly, the room was empty, it had two doors, she saw two figures robotically walking through one of them, she rushed after them, 'Mum! Dad!' she called; they seemed to be unable to hear her. They passed through another door, Lily followed. She called to them again, this time they stopped, they both turned around, they both tipped their heads to the side, 'Lily.' Her father said, 'Let go.' Her mother finished. 'Let us go where we will be out of pain.' Their voices were almost robotic and monotonous.

'I don't want to let go!' Lily screamed, 'Don't leave me!'

'We have to, he killed us.' They told her,

'Who killed you? Tell me who!'

'Let go Lily, let go.'

'I don't want to!'

'Goodbye Lily.' They said, their figures faded slowly, disappearing from view.

'No! Don't leave me, please don't leave me!' she screamed, her face drenched in tears.

That's when it ended, she woke up, her heart pulsing rapidly, she was sweating, what was that all about? What did it mean? Were her parents trying to give her a message? They wanted her to move on, she didn't understand. Lily slowly closed her eyes and fell back to sleep.

Sirius felt like he had known Emma for an entire lifetime. He had known her for almost four months, they had been going out for two and a half.

He was relaxed around her, he felt like he could be himself and he didn't have to try and show off in front of her. The good thing was, Emma hadn't gone to Hogwarts, she had gone to Beauxbaton's. So she didn't know his history of dating dumb bimbos and dumping after a few weeks. He hoped she wouldn't find out, he didn't think she would like him if she knew.
