CHAPTER 3: SOMEBODY

"Dumbledore, can't we use magic to get her memories back?" the man with black hair asked the old man as Lily stared at them.

"I'm afraid not, James. Lily lost her memory by nature, and she should have to get it back by nature," the man, yeah right, named Dumbledore said.

James looked angry. "See here, Dumbledore…"

"She will remember you if you are really special in her heart, James," Dumbledore once again said. He left the room without a word, leaving James and Lily in the room.

Lily got up. "Hello," she said innocently.

James stared at her. Surely, this loss of memory lost everything. Lily's anger, Lily's smart self, Lily's love for James…

"Hi… Lily," he started. The words of Dumbledore rang in his head. "She will remember you if you are really special in her heart, James."

Lily smiled. "So, Lily's my name, right?" she confirmed. James nodded. "What is this stick for?" she asked, pointing at her wand that is still on the floor. She was afraid to pick it up since it emitted fiery sparks of green when she touched it for the first time.

James smiled kindly. "That is a wand." He attempted to pick the wand up.

"Wait, James, don't touch it!" Lily warned him.

James stopped. "You know me?" he asked her, a small light in his heart.

"Well, the old man called you James," Lily reasoned innocently, turning to the side. "And I just guessed it. It is quite… familiar…"

James looked sad again. He picked the wand up and placed it again on her bedside table. "I thought you remembered…"

Lily looked sorry. "Please don't be like that," she tried to apologize. He sat by her bed and Lily touched his face. "You… are quite familiar," she laughed, holding his hand. "When I first saw you step inside this room, I felt something… something different."

James did nothing but stared at her. Her innocence to everything made her more beautiful for she is not worried of him, of the Dark Lord, of anything.

"James, I think you're a somebody to me," Lily admitted before biting her lip.

"Really?" he asked her, trying to hold back his tears. "A somebody for you?"

"Yes!" Lily said, tears of joy starting to run down. "I think you're the person who'll help me regain my memory. Besides, I don't want to bang my head on the wall to remember everything." She started to cry.

"Why are you crying? Did I say something bad?" James asked her, startled.

"No, I just feel hopeless. I just feel that I have no use. People hustling but I don't know my place. I don't even know who I am!" she said, wiping her tears. "James, all I want is to have my memory back."

James embraced her. "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you remember. Even if it costs the chance of you loving me again."

"Thank you," Lily replied, hugging him back. "There's something weird n his embrace," she thought. "By the way, James, what is that stick for?"

"Lily, that's a wand," James said. He took his own wand and conjured fairy lights in the midair. He made it dance in front of Lily's eyes.

Lily's eyes sparkled as she watched the show. "I think I can remember something…"
