Chapter Seven

The Halloween ball was among them quickly. Lily and James were going as The Phantom and Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Lily wore a white off the shoulder ball gown (A/N: Sorry, green is too cliche, and I use it enough) with silver sequins, white evening gloves and white ballet slippers. James' hair was, miraculously, slicked back and he wore a white mask that covered half of his face. He was decked out in a black tuxedo with a red rose tucked into the breast pocket. James took her hand and they headed down to the great hall together. The doors of the Great Hall opened and Lily gasped at the extravagance of the decorations. The magically inhanced ceiling was dark and dancing with grinning, orange jack-o-lanterns and black and orange candles floated over each of the round tables. Upbeat music was played by a band on the platform at the front of the hall. Each of the band members were wearing costumes. Lily drank in her surroundings as she scanned the hall. She spotted Remus and Sirius at a table with their dates. She dragged James over to their table and sat down.

"Aww you guys look adorable!" Sirius teased. James sneered at his best friend, who had a blonde sixth year Hufflepuff clinging to his arm. Lily had joined in an intelligent conversation with Remus and his date, a seventh year Ravenclaw. A song James knew began to play.

"Lily do you want to dance?" he asked. Lily nodded and followed James onto the dance floor. They danced for about a half an hour. After their eighth dance, Lily was out of breath. She grabbed James' hand and dragged him over to the refreshment table. She poured herself and James a cup of punch. After hydrating, Lily was ready to get back out on the dance floor. But James however wanted to rest for a few minutes. They headed back over to the table. They sat there conversing with the other people at the table when Lily felt a presence behind her. She turned around and saw David standing over her smiling. She narrowed her eyes.

"Hi Lily, do you want to dance?" he asked innocently. Lily looked at him incredulously.

"Not with you," she stated snidely. David looked broken. He still stood there.

"She said she doesn't want to dance with you. That generally means that you should walk away," James snarled, taking her hand. David understood. She didn't want to be with him anymore. Was it just because of that little punch? What is her problem? She was going to pay for that. He spun on his heel and left the Great Hall. Lily sighed in relief and lay her head on James' shoulder. She lay like that for a few moments until one of her favorite songs started to play. She dragged James onto the dance floor. They spent another half an hour or so dancing. Lily told him that she was going to the bathroom. She kissed him on the cheek and left the Great Hall. She walked down the corridor to the bathroom. After taking care of her business, she headed back down the corridor to the Great Hall. Suddenly, someone covered her mouth from behind and dragged her into an empty classroom. They placed a full body bind and a silencing charm on her. She fell over backwards with no control over her landing. Her eyes widened.

"Yup that's right, its me. David. I bet you're wondering why I'm doing this. Well I just want you to know that I loved you Lily. I loved you so much it hurt. And you hurt me. So now its your turn. I want you Lily. And I'm going to have you!" As he said this, he jerked her up toward him. She could see the lust in his eyes and she knew what he was going to do. David smirked when he saw the fear in her eyes. He kissed her mouth roughly and she could not turn her head away from his forceful lips. He moved his lips from hers and began kissing her jaw and neck. David took one hand and began to unzip the back of her dress roughly. The delicate material tore under his grasp. The dress fell from her body onto the floor in a heap. He unclasped her bra and threw it to the floor. He ripped her panties from her body and discarded it with the rest of her clothes. She stood in front of him completely naked and completely unable to do anything about it or cover herself up. Tears streamed from her eyes. As David took advantage of her. She had always imagined her first time to be romantic and gentle and with James. Not on a cold classroom floor against her will. When David was done with her, he dressed himself and removed the spells from her. She grabbed her dress and held it up to her body to cover herself up as soon as she could. He snarled at her and left the room.

James sat at the table watching the doors to the Great Hall anxiously.

"She's been gone for quite awhile," he stated to no one in particular. He saw the doors open and hoped that it was Lily coming in. But it was only David. Wait, David. James suddenly got the chills. He examined David's smug expression and knew something was up. Something that probably had to do with Lily. James got up and headed out of the Hall and down the corridor. He heard soft sobbing coming from an empty classroom. He opened the door and found Lily on the floor crying her heart out. She was naked and only clutched her dress to her body to cover herself up. She looked up and saw James. He rushed over to her and put his arms around her and let her cry into his shoulder.

"I'm going to kill him. I swear I will," James growled.

Yay! Angst! lol. I'm so horrible! Please review!
