Ch.45: He's the one
Lily and James returned to Hogwarts and went straight to Bed, they needed sleep badly; from funerals, the cancer issue, and just the fact that their NEWTs were coming up both Lily and James were mentally and physically exhausted.
The next morning Lily got up and took a shower. The warm water and steam relaxed her muscles and cleared her thoughts. All lily could think of were her parents and Ben, Ben she missed him so much and she never had the chance to say good bye, and her parents the guilt of their deaths filled her completely and she hated herself for it, she had always known that there would be a chance of them getting hurt, she knew that from day one but the realization of it never affected her as it did now.
Lily got out of the shower and dried off and changed into a pair of jeans and green tank top with lace and a pair of flats. She dried her hair, which was now long again and left it curly; she didn't feel like messing with it. She left the bathroom, it was ten thirty in the morning. She went to James's room and saw him still sleeping. She stood by the door frame for several seconds taking the scene in.
"He looks so peaceful when he sleeps," Lily said to herself. She walked over and sat next to him and brushed a piece of his untamed hair out of his face, it was the first time she had scene him without glasses and he looked fairly nice without them.
James ruffled a bit and slowly opened his eyes. Looking down at his were dull, yet beautiful emerald eyes.
"Morning, love," James mumbled as he sat up turning onto his back, he was lying on his stomach.
"Morning, how are you?" Lily asked.
"Good; and you?" James replied, now sitting up fully. He pulled lily on to the bed and onto his lap. He kissed her gently on the cheek.
"I'm fine, I'm glad we don't have class," lily said resting her head on his shoulder.
"Me too, what do you want to do today?"
"Oh I don't know, I know that me, Alicia, and Emily are have a girls night, since it's the full moon and all,"
James looked to her with shock.
"I completely forgot about moony, gosh I'm a total prat for forgetting . . . wait what do you mean girl's night?" James asked
"Oh well, since we're animagus we were going to run about out in the forest, sort like what you do with Remus." Lily whispered. James's eyebrows raised a bit.
"I don't know lily, I mean we all can't be out there at the same time, it's too dangerous." James informed. He then reached over for his glasses and put them on.
"Well, Em really wants to get out tonight we have gone out with her in three months and Remus has been out every month since you all started going out, please cant you guys just stay in the shrieking shack?"
"We can't it's too small of a structure for all of us to fit . . . I'll talk to Remus see what he thinks."
"Thanks," Lily said and kissed him. They kissed for several second before the parted.
"Hey,"
"What?" Lily asked with a laugh.
"I never saw you transform, into your creature, what is it, again?" James asked.
"Oh a tiger, hence tiger lily," Lily said. she got up from James's lap and walked to the door.
"What . . ." James began
"I'm closing the door so none will see," Lily said
"Lil no one's here," James said with a laugh
"Well either way, ok I'm a tiger so I'll transform so you can see."
Lily stood in the middle of the room and thought of her formation, then suddenly she was no longer standing in the middle of the room, but a tiger, with bright orange fur and black stripes stood in her spot. James leapt up, his eyes wide with amazement.
"You're gorgeous!" he blurted. James petted her and then Lily walked a little ways away and transformed back.
"Okay, now that you've seen me, lets go see the others, I'm sure they're waiting."
"Alright, let me just get changed." James said.
Lily left the room and indeed found her friends in the common room sitting on the sofas. Lily came down the stairs and walked over to the nearest, empty chair.
"Lily, how are you, it's good to see you." Alicia said. she walked over and gave lily a hug.
"I'm good, how are you all?"
"Fine." They all replied. Lily looked over to Emily and remus who looked a bit off.
"Are you two alright?" Lily asked warily.
Emily looked up and then to Remus.
"Yeah, just the full moon's tonight and the effects are already starting." Emily answered with a small smile.
"Well James and I were talking and Em, I know you wanted to go out tonight for an outing since you haven't been in three months and Remus I presume you'd want to go also, but James thought it might be too dangerous if all of us went out, what do you both think?" Lily asked.
Remus looked to Emily and Emily looked to Remus.
"You should go," Remus insisted
"No, you should I mean it's a ritual between you guys, I can manage in the chamber tonight," Emily said
"Yeah but you haven't been out in three months that's like torture, I'm sure." Remus said.
"Well we can't both go out." Emily said.
"why not?" Sirius asked confused.
"Because if Emily and I were to see each other in the forest we might get into a brawl which would lead to fighting which would lead to death, werewolves are very aggressive when it comes to territory." Remus explained looking to Sirius.
"That wouldn't be good," James said. the group looked up as James came down the stairs
"Hey Prongs," Sirius said
"hey, why don't we let the girls go and I guess we can skip one night, I mean we have been doing it every month since fifth year." James inquired.
"I agree, I can handle one night on my own, I seem to manage it just fine when I'm home," remus said
"Okay, thanks guys, it means a lot to me," Emily said. She hugged Remus.
"Now that's settled why don't we get some breakfast." Lily said. Every one cheered to that and they all made their way to the great hall.
The hall was barley filled, since it was a Sunday morning. The group found a spot in the middle of the table and began eating.
"So Remus are you ready for Friday?"
"I think so. What about you two?" Remus asked James and Lily who were talking in whispers to each other.
"Ready for what?" James asked as he grabbed a piece of toast.
Emily and Remus looked to each other.
"The Talent show," they said in unison. Lily and James looked up in shock and then looked to themselves.
"Oh, shit I totally forgot about it, crap we are so not ready!" Lily exclaimed in panic.
"Calm down lily we have time, we'll just practice like mad and we'll be ready, don't worry.' James said quickly.
"Yeah you guys, don't worry you'll be fine, really." Alicia reassured.
Thanks," Lily said.
The group stayed in the great hall for another half hour when suddenly a tall boy with blonde hair walked into the great hall dressed in jeans a red t-shirt and denim jacket with tennis shoes on. Lily looked up.
"Oh, my gosh." Lily said under her breath. James heard this.
"What is it?" He asked worriedly.
The tall boy came over in their direction and stopped in front of lily.
"You Lily Evans?" he asked.
"Yes," Lily said. She knew this boy, she had seen him before, but where.
"My name is George, Corston, do you remember me from Durmstrang?" George asked
then it clicked he was the guy lily had punched when she went to Durmstrang with Ben.
"Yes I do, what can I do for you?" Lily asked
George was holding a package tied with strings.
"Look me and my mates cleaned out Ben's room and we found something of his, and this was one of them it's addressed to you." He said handing over the package.
"Don't worry there are no hexes," He said with slight smile.
Lily took the box and said "thank you."
George stood there awkwardly.
"Look, I'm sorry for what me and the guys did to you a while ago, we didn't know you were the person Ben always made mention of. He always talked about this girl whom was his best friend, but we always thought he was just making up some random girl, it was from an inside joke, well we never knew he was serious about this person up until he told us off for lashing out at you."
"I'm also sorry for the loss of Ben, he told us if anything ever happened to him to give that to you, there a few thing in there we think, once again I'm sorry for the loss of a good mate, really we all are, the guys that is; he was a great guy." George said.
George began to walk away.
"George," Lily said. He turned around
"I'm sorry also, he always talked about all, how great of friends you were to him, not judging him because of his ability, if you know what I mean, he was a dear friend, and he will be missed. Thank you." Lily said George nodded and left.
Lily looked down and the quite large package which lay in her lap.
"What is it?" Emily asked
Lily turned to her.
"I'm not sure but I better open it upstairs," said looking at the box curiously.
They group headed upstairs and sat around the large coffee table in the common room.
Lily sat down on the couch. James sat next to her and Emily and remus took the loveseat while Alicia and Sirius sat together on the other love seat.
Lily unwrapped the package carefully. A large box lay in her lap with an envelope ontop tied with string. Lily opened the envelope and took a piece of parchment out, it was a letter. She read aloud.
"Dear Lily,
By now I have either passed on due to a mission gone wrong, death eaters, or I have over heated. Today's date is December thirteenth. I'm writing this because I know I probably won't be seeing you a lot from until my possible death. Working with you has been positively the most memorable thing I have done and I have cherished, you are a distinguished, knowledgeable, beautiful young woman who is a remarkable spy, you have saved my neck several times which I'm thankful for beyond belief.
Partly this letter is to thank you for all of the memorable time we had together and the other part is to tell you of some things, which I kept from you over the years. Since we began our journey as spies I have not told you the complete story behind James Potter's parents and why MI-5 was researching them . . ." lily paused and looked up. James looked to her with curiosity. Lily read on.
"The potters as you know were spies for the British government's top intelligence agency, MI-5. When they were working as spies they were in search of hercroxes, hercroxes are items which the dark lord was using to put his soul into in which he would become immortal, true the dark lord has not yet developed all of them, he did start to split his soul into seven parts. There will be seven hercroxes. James Potter, the Potter's son is the only current living descendant of the dark lord; he causes a threat to him because he is able to hurt him more easily than any other wizard. When you were insearch of the book of Vlasco I did some research on the book and I found it not only has curses and keys to certain places, but it also has medical charms, charms which heal muggle illnesses, such illnesses such as TB, cancer, some forms of it (colon, breast, lung) but the book can only be fully used to its best ability by the one who found it first or who created it. When I researched the book I found who had first found it in India, it was James Potter senior, James's father; his mother was also one of the founders.
Lily paused with surprise, she looked up.
"They found the book first?" James asked "My Parents found the book?"
"It looks that way," Lily said. she continued, the very long letter. She flipped the paper over and continued.
Once the book is in MI-5's hands Potter is able to use it to it's full ability, that's why he was recruited lily, because he is the one who can stand up to the dark lord, he's the one who can hurt him very badly if not kill him with the book of Vlasco. I know this is a lot to take in but I need you to trust me and understand why I didn't tell you, I didn't tell you before because Langston and I were not sure it was fully true, but it is and we didn't say anything because Dumbledore didn't want James to know until it was time to tell him, but now is the time, he needs to know that he is in danger. And now I must tell you what the box you are holding contains. It contains some old photographs of us and my weapons. I have also included several flasks of different potions, one of the Valocian potion and polyjuice potion, which may come in handy. Also in the box is a code a code that reveals the medical charms from the book of Vlasco. These are very rare and must be kept secret, use them well. Lastly, you have been my dearest friend, sister, and partner. I know you will go far in your life and I will always love you. Farewell my emerald dancer.
Love,
Benjamin Alexander Croft"
Lily looked up, tears brimming her eyes. She folded the letter and opened the box, everything he had said would be in there were. She took out a separate box, which she didn't see written in the letter. She opened it and her eyes grew wide.
Inside the box lay a bottle full of a red liquid. A note was next to it. Lily read it.
"I'm glad you opened this box, in this bottle is a very rare potion which I have been working on for the last two years with my potions master. It is called Assassino da morte
death killer, it comes from old Portuguese wizards, it can kill any illness, imaginable, trust me, my professor tested it on a patient at Lostein hospital in Bulgaria. The patient was about to die he had just a few hours left, he was muggle born battleing cancer of the brain. He took the potion and the tumor was gone within an hour, completely gone. It has also been tested on other patients. I understand if your nervous to use it but I'm not lieing when I say it works. Hopefully you can help others with this potion"
Lily smiled.
"What is it Lily?" Emily asked.
Lily looked up and wiped her eyes.
"It's a rare potion which kills any disease, illness."
"Really?" James asked in amazment. "Does it actually work?"
"That's what he says, he says it's been used on numerous people, and they have healed miraculously." Lily said
"Lily, you can use it for you cancer, can't you?" Sirius asked with cheer.
Lily thought for a moment.
"I suppose I could, but I'm not certain if I have it or not, the test results don't come back for several days." Lily said.
"Well if you do you could use it," Sirius said.
The group sat in the common room for the rest of the afternoon thinking over what Ben had written about. James's parents were the first founders of the book of Vlasco, he was the one who had to stop Voldemort, he was the one who could use the book of Vlasco, he was the one able to help Lily fight her cancer, if she even had cancer, James was shocked but most of all he was scared of how everything would turn out.
Please review, I enjoyed writing this I hope you liked it and I hope it was clear, I'm going to write a summary of what's happened, incase any of you are confused which I know some of you are. The next chapter continues with a werewolf outing and more interesting plot is to come, so please hold on. Thanks
