Chapter 10

Crying

Well, to sum up the next two days there was lots of work, more teasing from Slytherins, more crying on Lily's part.

Lily spent those two days crying all the time not eating, no one knew why.

She disappeared for hours on end and skipped classes.

It was now Thursday right after Defense class. Since their schedules change each day they had a break next.

'Hello little Mudblood, how are you today. Passing out I hope.' said a cool voice behind them. It was Lestrange.

'Good to see you too, Lestrange. And might I compliment you on your tacky and nerdy sweater vest. Yes, we can see it under your robes.' said Rach, a tone in her voice that clearly meant she wish them all very painful deaths via the Cruciatus Curse. However the Chinese water torture method held a special place in her heart. (They being, Malfoy, Belletrix, Narcissa, Snape, Crabe, Goyle, and the rest of the group.)

'Ooh, protecting our little Mudblood friend are we?' sneered Belletrix.'

'Oh dear cousin of mine, just remember when Rachel is mad, bad things happen.' Sirius said snidely.

'Oh, so you like the little Mudblood too. You like little teachers pet goody-goodies. Hmm.' replied Narcissa for her best friend Belletrix.

'You like worthless pieces of trash like Evans?' Malfoy said with grin playing on his lips, 'Little know-it-alls that will get nowhere because no one likes them. All she has is work.'

'Face it. Evans is just a piece of shit. No one cares what happens to her, so why don't we just dispose of her for you? After all, she's just a disgusting Mudblood.'

That was really the last straw. Everyone drew their wands. But one person was faster. With some odd spell this person disarmed the five leaders (Belletrix, Snape, Malfoy, Lestrange and Narcissa) and sent them flying into the back wall.

It was Lila. Everyone was in shock.

'Never, ever do that again. She is not worthless. People like her more than they like you, you toerag. Leave her alone or you'll be sorry!' Lila cried in rage. Her normally sympathetic, kind blue eyes had turned into raging red ones.

'Ooh, little Lila's gonna hurt us.' Lestrange said in mockery. But he had fear in his eyes.

He screamed as blood spurted form his arm from some spell she used. After a minute she said the counter curse.

'How did you-' Snape started.

Lila cut him off ' I know every thing. I know all your secrets spells, Snivellus,' using the name the Marauders made for him. 'Lestrange, I have enough dirt on your family to send you all to Askaban for life. And you too Belletrix and Malfoy. Watch it or you will pay.'

Everyone just stared. Lila cared about everyone. She wanted to be a healer and save people's lives. She had always been a push-over. This was a side of her that they had never seen before.

'Enough is enough,' she continued, 'Leave Lily alone. Leave all of us alone or you will be sorry. Now get out of here.' The Slytherins all ran. And Lila fell against the wall and sat there.

They were all in shock.

And naturally guess who broke the silence. 'That was so bloody awesome!' Sirius cried, 'Way cool. Any way, we should get back to the common room before we get in trouble for hanging out in the halls.' Everyone walked in silence.

Eventually Lila said, 'I'm sorry guys. I don't know what came over me. I was just so mad. They're so mean. I just couldn't take it anymore.'

'It's ok. It happens to all of us.' Lily said walking over and giving her a hug.

'James!' a voice called. Lizy ran up behind him. 'I'm super bummed, we barely get to see each other anymore. We don't have the same classes.' she said with a pout. 'Can we hang out now?'

'Sure, see you guys later.' They walked off, probably to find a broom closet.

Lily looked disgusted.

'Um Lily?' Kay said, 'Are you ok, I mean you used to be semi friendly with Lizy, but now it looks like you want to kill her.'

'Things change, people change.' that's all she said as she walked off.

Dear diary,

Sorry I haven't written in a while but I'm really confused. I hate James bloody potter, but then why do I care that he has a girl friend. It's not like I like him like that. In fact, I don't like him at all. Right? I'm really confused. I don't like him. Or do I? No, no, no! I defiantly do not. I'm so confused, I want to be out-going and do something unlike me. Like go to a party. But then with the new thing and Dumbledor—

Lily stopped writing as tears started falling on her paper.
