The system changed again in their seventh year. James was more polite and mature. He didn't ask her out anymore. They were civil to each other.
Lily's mum and dad died that year. A week before Christmas break, she got the letter that said:
Miss Lillian Evans,
We are sorry to inform you of the passing of your parents. They were killed at 10 pm last night in an attack by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his Death Eaters.
The rest of the words just seemed to blur together.
I swear the next chapter is longer! It is actually the longest chapter I have written up for this story... not that that says much... Please don't kill me!
And I realize that Lily's parents dying is over-used, and way cliche, but it's the way the story wanted to go... I have no control over it! Not the length, or what happens. This story has a mind of it's own! I blame the plot-bunny!
And you know what would totally make my day? Breaking 10 reveiws... :-( No, I have not gotten 10 reveiws on a story, and it make-es me ver-ver sad!
