A day ago back in Griffindor…
Prince Severus paced slowly back and forth in the foyer of the Gryffindor palace as he thought to himself 'Lily has been missing for nearly two days! Her horse arrived without her earlier this afternoon; could this mean that she was in trouble? Is she alive? But wait, this is what I wanted: I came here for the sole purpose of getting rid of the new king and his sister and taking my place as king, but I did not expect to fall in love with Lily. The job's half done now that her brother is gone, but where was she?' His thoughts were interrupted by the Duke of Rastleton, who had been assisting him in his takeover of Gryffindor. "Prince Severus, now that we're rid of both the monster and his sister, shall we proceed with our plan?" asked the Duke, and Severus replied "No we shall not: The princess has not returned, therefore we must wait until she comes back so I can marry her and then become King. Only then will you receive your part in the deal do I make myself clear?" The Duke gulped at the harshness in Severus's voice, and dared not to say more except for "Y-yes, your highness." Severus said "Although I am concerned for the Princess's safety, so I have decided to take a small army and find her myself." The Duke nodded and said "A-and, what shall I do?" Severus said "You will stay here, but your guards may join me on my quest, and perhaps they should prepare themselves in case I happen to find King Sirius on my way, that way I may finish the job and kill him." The Duke's eyes widened, but nodded and said "Very well, y-your majesty." Severus demanded Dumbledore to fetch him a horse and sent the Duke to put together a small army for him to take with him. Severus now hoped to kill Sirius without Lily's knowledge, and also hoped that Lily was alright.
Back to where we left off…
"Siri! Don't run away again! Stop shutting me out! We can get through this together!" Lily cried as she followed him to the living room, and she saw him looking out from his balcony, holding on to the railing. His head was bowed down, and he said quietly "Lily, I belong here, I can be myself with my powers, and won't have to worry about scaring anyone or worse: hurting someone. You must go; it's the only way I can keep you safe." Lily frowned "Siri, you can be yourself in our kingdom. Who cares what anyone else thinks? With time the people will understand and accept you for who you are! They need you, especially now…" Sirius turned around, looking at her questioningly "Why now?" Lily bit her lip and said after a moment, "Siri, you need to stay calm when I tell you this, but Gryffindor, well, it's kind of in an eternal winter." Sirius's mouth dropped open, and the color drained from his face "N-no. Oh god, the people will surely hate me now, I'm so stupid to think I could run away and everything would be fine," Lily said "No, this is not your fault, it was an accident!" Sirius replied "Accident or not, Lily I don't know how to reverse it!" Lily said with a small smile "We will fix it, together." Sirius said "No Lily, I'm not going back, I'll just make it worse." Lily said defiantly "I'm not leaving unless you come with me." Sirius looked at her angrily as a snow storm began to form around him, and said "Lily, as your older brother and your king I command you to leave at once!" Lily was furious now and as her emerald eyes flashed with anger, said loudly "You really think I'm going to listen to THAT? YOUR PEOPLE NEED YOU! I NEED YOU!" Sirius shouted as the storm grew stronger "GET OUT LILY!" Sirius was panicking now, and Lily noticed and shouted over the storm "SIRI!" Sirius shouted back "NOOO!" as he let go of his powers, causing the snow storm explode and strike Lily in the heart as it disappeared into the air. She clutched at her chest as it impacted her and fell to the ground. "LILY!" shouted James and Remus, who had seen the whole argument and rushed to her side.
Lily, who was unconscious for a second, groaned a little as she got up, with the help of Remus and James, "I'm okay, guys." She winced as she clutched her heart, and Remus asked "Are you sure you're alright?" Lily nodded, and James watched her with worry. Sirius was horrified at himself for once again hurting his sister, and said "Lily, you must go. I'm too dangerous." Lily said "No, Siri I'm not leaving you here!" Sirius said with sadness in his silver eyes "Than I'll have to make you leave," as he used his powers to create a giant ice dragon. Lily, James and Remus all looked up in a mixture of terror and wonder as it formed before their eyes. The dragon's tail coiled around them and took them to the entrance of the palace. Once they arrived outside the front doors, the dragon threw them out into the snow. Lily shivered as she stood up, and James rushed to her side and said "Lily, you're shaking like a leaf!" Lily said "N-no, I'm fine. Let's just g-get back to Gryffindor." James looked to the dragon as it left, and shouted at it "HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU GIANT CHICKEN! WHAT'S THE MATTER, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FINISH US OFF?" Remus and Lily looked incredulously at James, and the dragon flew to where they were. Its icy eyes bored into James's hazel ones, and before James could say anything more, the dragon swiped its icy claws at them, and Remus held onto Lily as they were thrown backwards. Remus then said sarcastically "Oh yes James, insulting the dragon will really help our situation!" James glared at his older brother as he dug through the supply sack they carried and said "Shut up Remus! I've got a plan." Remus said "Oh great, a plan to get us all killed?" James was about to retort when they all heard Olaf say "Hello! What's your name?" As the dragon watched the little snowman, Olaf continued "Hmmm, I'll call you…Spike! Hi Spike! I'm Olaf and I like warm-" but he didn't get to finish his sentence as he was knocked into pieces by the dragon's claw, and Lily shouted "OLAF!" Olaf, whose body parts were scattered all around a nearby pine tree, said "Don't worry! Just go while I distract Spike!" Remus helped Lily up and asked "Can you run?" Lily said "Yeah, let's go." James said "Wait!" as he finally found the rope he was looking for, and climbed onto the dragon's back, and was almost thrown off as he reached the dragon's neck. Lily yelled at him "ARE YOU MAD?" James shouted back "NO, I'M BLOODY BRILLIANT ACTUALLY." Remus groaned and shouted "JAMES YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" But James didn't listen as he reached the dragon's head, and as the dragon tried to shake him off, he threw the rope around its mouth and tied it shut, and then tied the rope around to form a makeshift harness.
He said to Remus and Lily "Well, are you coming or not? Hop on!" Lily and Remus exchanged looks of disbelief, but headed toward the dragon and James. Lily then said "Oh, wait! Olaf!" as she ran to where Olaf was, who was struggling to put himself together. She quickly helped him put himself back together, and grabbed his twig hand as they ran to the dragon and hopped on between the spikes on its back. James and Remus talked while Lily helped Olaf, and agreed that they should take Lily to their family first to see if they could help her condition. As they started their flight, Lily asked loudly (to be audible over the wind that rushed past them as they flew) "Isn't Gryffindor that way?" Remus replied loudly "We're going to take you to our family; we think they can help you. You're not well Lily and you won't be able to make the journey back in your condition." Lily was going to object, but she knew he was right: She could feel herself getting colder by the minute, and her chest felt as if it had a ton of bricks weighing down on it. They continued flying until they reached a forested area, which still had some snow, but it was strangely warmer there. They all jumped off the dragon, and James said "Alright, you can go back now, thanks for the lift." Olaf waved to it "Bye Spike! Oh wait! I forgot to give you a hug!" but the dragon left, and Lily stood there, continuing to shiver. Remus and James suddenly gasped as they looked at her, and Lily said "W-what is it?" Remus said "Well, your hair, it's-" James said "It's turning white!" Lily said "N-no, I've always had this white streak in my hair, it's nothing," James said "No, really, half your hair is white! Look in the lake over there!" Lily walked over to the lake a short distance away and gasped: James was right! Half of her fiery locks were white! She said nothing, and Remus said "It's because your brother struck you accidentally with his powers, isn't it?" Lily nodded, and James said "That's why you need to see our family. We've seen them help with this sort of thing before."
