Chapter Eight
Lily cried she ran off. James was hurt. They were avoiding each other...
Lily walked in to the great hall, there were no stares, for they were used to this. James gaped at Lily. She was back to normal, Well, her normal that is. Her hair was Black, once again, she was wearing a deep purple skirt covered in chains and safety pins, black Converse, her hair was curly, and she wore a black shirt covered in safety pins. Her makeup was different though, James could tell she had gotten creative. She had on black eyeliner; she had drawn it to go down her face, so it looked like she was constantly crying. She had on Black lipstick.
Lily sighed and walked over to James, Sirius and Remus.
"Dumbledore asked me if The Black Roses Would like to play at the Christmas Ball tomorrow night."
"Awesome!"
"Great"
"Mmm."
"Meet me in the Room of Requirement, we need to practice."
Lily smiled slightly and walked away.
Lily sat in the Room of Requirement, holding a razor in her hand. She stared at the blood dripping down her arm and onto the floor.
I hate life.
She cut her other arm, wincing. She put the razor in her purse, and picked up her acoustic guitar. The boys were yet to be there so she strummed quietly, singing.
"Lils! Great song!" Remus yelled.
"Yea uhhh..."
"Lils...?"
"Mm?"
"We're ready."
Lily dropped her acoustic and picked up her electric and microphone. They started play. Lily sung loudly, almost yelling. She never noticed the blood dripping off her arm and onto her guitar and the floor, but the boys did, and throughout the song she was getting paler and paler. Soon practice was over and Sirius and Remus had left, leaving Lily and James alone.
"Lily?"
"Yea?"
"Why are you cutting yourself again?"
"Because I'm suicidal."
"Is it because of me?"
"Yes."
"Lily, you're getting really pale..."
"I know"
"Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"I said I was suicidal"
"Lily..."
"W-what now?"
James saw more blood coming from Lily's mouth as she talked.
"Lils, why do you hate me?"
"I don't"
"Yea right"
"N-no J-James...I l-love y-you"
Lily choked; she held her hand over her mouth.
James watched as blood seeped through her fingers.
'Why did you do this to yourself Lily!' he thought.
He stood and guided Lily to the door. "I'm taking you to the hospital wing" He stated. Lily pushed James away. "I can do it myself..."She choked, causing more blood to spurt from her mouth. James watched helplessly, as Lily tumbled down the hallway, finally falling in a heap on the floor.
"Lily!" James yelled. He skidded to a halt next to her. "Lily! Lily! Please don't be dead!" He whispered.
"Mr. Potter, I need you to move away from my patient." James slowly moved away from Lily. He watched Madame Pomfrey levitate her and take her down a corridor. He sat there, Lily's blood on him, just watching. He was in his own little dream world; Sirius found him and guided him back to the Common Room.
Lily jumped out of her bed and pulled on her black skirt, she pulled on her converses, and a green tank top. She put her black hair in a bun and quickly began applying her makeup. She ended up drawing her eyeliner down her face in streaks. (A/N Just as she did before)
She hastily through all of her clothes in her trunk and began dragging it down the stairs.
She ran outside and stowed her luggage on the train and then went back to find the Marauders.
"Lily! You need to eat breakfast." Sirius called to her. She walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down across from James.
James and Lily didn't talk much. Lily had told James that she couldn't be with him because she had cause so much trouble in his life. Over the last couple of months in school, they had grown apart, Lily had gotten her old feeling back. She no longer called him James. And he didn't call her Lily.
"I can't wait for owl post! My mum said she was sending me a letter!" Lily said excitedly. Sirius nodded and Lily heard the familiar hoots of the owls as they swooped down on them. An owl dropped a letter in James' lap. Lily received two letters; one she noticed had her brother's writing on it. She ignored the other one, it was black, and she shoved it in her pocket and quickly opened her brother's letter.
Lily,
I miss you sooo much. Petunia is being a pain in my arse! She said that she doesn't want you to come to mum and dad's funeral. You will come, won't you? I can't stand being alone with her and her monster of a fiancé! I love you and come home soon!
Kevin.
Lily smiled and put the letter aside, pulling out the other one. As she read it, her eyes grew a single tear flooded down her cheek, she quickly wiped it away. She and her brother's letter fell backwards off the bench. She scrambled up and walked quickly out of the Great Hall, along with the rest of the students flooding out.
Lily reached the train and sat at the window, hugging her knees.
"Evans...We know what happened, were sorry 'bout Kevin." James whispered as he, Sirius and Remus enter the compartment.He handed her her brother's letter wich she stuffed in her pocket.
They saw Lily's shake, and she gasped at the window.
There written on the window in black letters were the words:
You're next, Mudblood…
Lily practically collapsed off the bench, wincing in pain. James noticed someone in a black hood standing outside the window, smiling, casting the crucatus curse on Lily.
Finally it stopped, and Lily gasped for breath.
-Later-
Lily sat next to James, against her will of course.
"Lily..." James whispered, using her name.
"Mm?"
"You can stay at my house this summer."
"Alone at your house...all summer, with you!"
"I'll be there!" Sirius laughed.
"Mmmkay."
