Isat up inmy bed when I heard the light taps coming from the door.

"OUCH!"I hitmy head on the bottom of the bed above me.

"SHHHH!" came from all around the room.

I slipped on a shirt and hurried to answer it.

"Lily!"I wispered as I closed the door behind me.

"James. I wanted to talk to you." I followed her down to the common room and sat in front of the fire coals. I cast a spell to start the fire again. It was chilly.

"James," I could hear the worry in her voice. "I have to tell you...it's about Severus..."

"Snape? Oh, bloody hell, is that what you dragged me out of bed for? SNAPE? And I was having a bloody good dream at that...you were all naked..."

"James. Stop. This is serious. He said he'd kill you if he couldn't have me. He said he'd kill me and make you watch, and then kill you, and then himself. Three deaths. One night. I don't want to do this...but I don't want you dead even more..."

"Are you breaking up with me?" I asked. "Are you bloody breaking up with me because Snape SAYS he is going to kill us? When was the last time he EVER told the truth?"

"I DON'T WANT YOU DEAD!" Lily screamed, standing up. I stood up as she started to cry. "I don't want to lose you again."

"You never did, Lily. And you won't" I said, wrapping my arms around her.

" I did lose you. In my dreams, I come in here and I find you dead. I don't want that to be real." She sobbed into my shirt. I could feel her tears making a wet spot on my shouldr. Now everyone is going to think I drooled all over myself.

"Lil, I'm not going to die. I'm a man. I'll fight for you. I love you. I'll fight for you. I'll die for oyu if I have to, but we both know I'm not going to die if it's SNAPE I have to face."

"No, James. Only you think that." She said, backing away from me. "If you think that I will be cheering you on only to watch you die, you're sadly mistaken. I am NOT going to watch you die. Not if I can stop it." She went up to the girls dormatory, leaving me alone with the fire. One burning right in front of me, the other, in my heart.

A/N I'm sorry I haven't updated in almost a year...I've been super-busy. Now that it's summer, I can focus on something other than school. If you have any ideas of where I could go with this story, let me know! CoMmEnTs MaKe Me HaPpY!
