Chapter 13: The Finale Goodbye.
The summer came and went for the marauders and others.
Snape left for his mother's funeral then his family came to stay and support him and his father.
Sirius finally turned seventeen and got a home of his own. For the past year he lived with James having walked out of his parents.
James stayed with Sirius for the summer helping him settle in. though they always were found at the Potter's on Sunday for tea.
Peter became stranger, jumpy and tended to avoid the others more often.
Lily tried to get along with her non-magical sister and still keep up with her newfound friend Sybil then became head girl.
Sybil graduated with the highest marks (particularly Divination) and went in search of work. She and Severus talked a bit over the summer but with his mother's funeral they grew apart.
Remus became head boy and spent a lot of the summer with James and Sirius. But when there was no full moon. He visited Sam and Sarah 's (Kirkley was spending the summer with them).
Then came their seventh year (except for Sarah and Sybil) and the newfound friends became to part.
Lily and James did go on the promised date that eventually led to them becoming a couple.
Snape was left alone for their finale year by the marauders. And he seemed to leave them alone as well.
Remus and Sam tried to stay together for their finale year but also grew apart.
And Sirius finally got himself a steady girlfriend in the form of a pretty curly fire-red haired Hufflepuff.
Eventually their last year of Hogwarts ended and they all set their lives in order.
Snape and Sybil came to teach at Hogwarts though they never fell in love again and tended to stay away from each other when possible.
Alas for the fate of Lily and James Potter who wed after school. Their first and only child was born into a prophecy that involved a dark and evil wizard at the time: Lord Voldemort. Voldemort killed the Potters but met his downfall by their son who managed to survive.
Sirius Black was charged with helping Voldemort find and kill the Potters.
Remus Lupin became a broken man.
And Peter was found dead; he was killed by his once friend Sirius.
"Do you think it was him?" Kirkley asked her best friend, Sam.
"Sirius the traitor to the Potter's death? No I don't think." Sam said thoughtfully. "I know that everyone else does but I have this gut feeling that he was innocent." Kirkley said bluntly.
"Yeah! Remember what Lil told us on her wedding rehearsal? That she never trusted Peter but she and James trusted Sirius!" Sam stated sitting up straighter in her chair.
Her and Kirkley were still friends even though it had been five years since their best friends death.
"But Sam, he's dead…Peter is-"
"Dead?" Sam laughed coldly, "Ha! I think not! I don't believe it!"
"Well then what do we do?"
"We?" Sam stated, "We will do nothing."
"WHAT?" Kirkley shouted at her pal.
"We will do nothing." Sam repeated.
"Not now at least"
From the day they all said goodbye in their sixth (and seventh for Sarah and Sybil) year never had anyone mentioned about the dare or the date, Sybil and Snape ignored each other.
Not the greatest fairy tale, nor as depressing as Romeo and Juliet. But to all of them in the years to come they knew that it was worth it.
It was worth it…
Every bit of it.
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
It doesn't matter where you've been
As long as it was deep, yeah
You always knew to wear it well and
You look so fancy I can tell
I don't mind you hangin' out
And talkin' in your sleep
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time time
'cause when you're standin' oh so near
I kinda lose my mind, yeah
It's not the perfume that you wear
It's not the ribbons in your hair
I don't mind you comin' here
And wastin' all my time
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
Yeah, yeah, so bleed me
You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
Yeah, you're just what I needed
Yeah, yeah yeah
