Lily Molly

"Oh dear" Lily buried her face in Molly's pillow while Molly was rolling around on the floor laughing. After almost five minutes of almost continuous laughter Molly got on her knees and leaned on the edge of her bed.

"Do you have any idea how awesome this is?"

"Ok are you maybe just overreacting?" Lily raised her head from the pillow and looked at Molly and within seconds a wide smile has spread across Lily's face.

"See! I'm not overreacting. This is the greatest thing to ever happen since… magic!" Molly was almost screaming and Lily was completely speechless.

James Sirius Remus Molly Lily

James walked towards the window to let in the owl. The moment he opened the window the owl circled the room once and then dropped the envelope on James. James willingly opened the envelope to find a letter from the ministry. James eyes darted back and forth across the paper and the farther he got the worse the expression on his face got.

Sirius and Remus were watching James closely. James read the letter over and over again until he finally placed the letter on the table and walked calmly out the portrait hole with absolutely no expression on his face. Remus and Sirius waited a few seconds until they thought it was appropriate to read the letter.

Dear Mr. Potter,

We have written this letter to you with the most unfortunate news. While out on a secret auror mission your father Matthew Potter was involved in a very serious accident and is currently submitted at Sgt. Mungos and is on life support. We just wanted to alert you and we are prepared to make any arrangements for you to visit him any time you please.

We deeply regret having to send this letter,

Head of the Auror Office,

Gawain Robards

Marauders Lily Molly

When James returned from his long walk around the castle Sirius and Remus were awaiting his arrival. Sirius went up to him and put his arm around him.

"James we…" but James shook him off and was on his way to the boy's dormitory when Molly came rushing down the stairs of the girl's dormitory.

"You are not going to believe this!" a moment later Lily had appeared and was trying to stop Molly from saying anything.

"No! Moo! No! I'll never talk to you again! Well…of course I will…it's just a figure of speech…"

"You really have no idea how to threaten do you?" Molly started laughing and Lily stood there blushing.

"Molly…" Remus signaled to her, telling her to cut it. Molly immediately stopped laughing and looked at Remus, confused.

"What's the…"but Remus interrupted her with a look.

James went back to heading for the boy's Dormitory and Lily couldn't help but noticing that something was wrong. She watched him leave and when he was gone she turned to Remus and asked:

"What happened?"

"Well…I dono if we can really say"

"We don't need to know if it doesn't have anything to do with us" said Molly. Sirius smiled at her and she smiled back and blushed.

"I'll go up and talk to him" said Remus and walked up the stairs to James.

"Me too" said Peter who seemed glad to have a chance to get out of the room.

Lily walked over to the couch and lift up the envelope lying on the table. "Is this what's happened?"

"Lily, maybe you shouldn't read it… I mean … it's not your letter to read" said Molly looking at Lily with disappointment.

"Oh all right I won't" Lily said but as Sirius and Molly were distracted by each other Lily slipped the letter into one of the books on the table

"Um… I think I'm gonna go take a nap" she said. Molly and Sirius didn't even look at her so she hurried up the stairs to their dormitory carrying the book.

Lily Molly

"How could you do that Lily? That letter was not yours to read and you just go and read it anyway?" Molly was standing in front of Lily's bed were Lily had been found reading James' letter. Molly sounded mad and disappointed.

"I just wanted…" but Lily was cut off.

"It's always what you want" Molly walked over to her bed, changed into her pajamas, lay down on her bed and closed the blinds.

Lily got of the bed and walked over to Molly's bed and got ready to open the blinds but before she could do anything Molly said:

"Don't even think about it" at which Lily went miserably back to her bed and lay down.

That whole nigh Lily didn't sleep. She felt horrible for doing what she did and even though she was one of those types of people who always had to do the right thing, this time something had taken over her. The next morning when Molly woke up she walked straight into the bathroom without her usual "good morning"

"Moo! Come on, I…" but Molly closed the door before Lily could finish the sentence. Lily finally gave up, got dressed and walked down the common room.
