These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way
These are my confessions
Man I'm throwed and I don't know what to do

Pain of the worst kind

Lily shuddered as the cold wind blew her clothes this way and that. They were now standing in front of the alter in a way that she knew would cause her mom to roll in her grave.

Nothing was the way her mom would have wanted the wedding to be. There were no pretty flowers lining the walk, nor was there a church organ playing in the background.

There was a minister of sorts, but not the kind her mom would have wanted to marry her daughter off.

As they were asked to say their vows, a bang that was not supposed to happen occurred, covering everyone in a cloud of black smoke.

An eerie laugh floated out of the smoke, followed by a scream.

"Lily!" James yelled, not sure where to look for her. Her voice floated back, so she was still there.

The smoke cleared, leaving no secrets behind. The woman who had screamed was no longer standing.

Sirius was sitting on the ground next to her, holding her head in his lap. James glanced briefly at her and then did a double take. The woman was Michelle.

An angry voice filled the room, and it made everyone cower in fear.

"She got away, YET AGAIN!" the voice had risen, and so had a few hairs.

"It was impossible to see through your smoke, master!" was the voice of Malfoy.

Severus Snape stood there, a heavy load taken off his shoulders after hearing what he had thought he heard. She was still alive, but her best friend from school was dying.

He couldn't do it anymore. He had to go to Dumbledore.

The wedding party had moved to St. Mongo's so that Michelle could be taken in. None of them knew what spell or curse had been thrown at her so they weren't much help to the medi-wizard in charge.

"I'm sorry but only close kin and friends may be allowed in and only two at a time," the harried wizard said, standing next to the door.

James glanced at Sirius, whose eyes were bleak, and nodded briefly.

Sirius entered like he had reached the deathbed of a relative, and sat by her side, taking her hand.

She moved her head softly and looked at him. She knew something wasn't right when she saw his expression.

"Is it serious?" she asked quietly. Sirius looked at her. He didn't know how to answer without alerting her.

"Don't worry. I already know. It doesn't matter, as long as I had you."

Sirius closed his eyes, a tear leaking out from under his lids. He had never had her. It had been because she came on to him that he had gone with her at all.

James looked at Lily, whose eyes were misty with unshed tears.

"She was one of my friends, I can't believe our friendship is almost over," she murmured.

Sirius came out and sent a sad smile toward Lily. "She wants to see you and James," he said and took a seat.

They both stood up, and James held the door for Lily.

Michelle was lying under the white sheets, looking woebegone and underfed.

"What is happening to you?" Lily asked and took her hand. Michelle shrugged.

"I think the curse took its toll on me," she said softly, looking at James as she spoke. "Take good care of her, James. She is all you are ever going to get," she said, closing her eyes and resting.

James watched, heartbroken, as her breaths slowed and then stopped all together. The monitor above her head started going off.

A medi witch came in and checked her pulse. As her head lifted, she shook it at James, even though he knew she was gone. There was no reason to disbelieve it.

He took Lily into his arms as she gave heart-wrenching sobs. He was going to get the bastard who had done this; no way would the man be allowed to live.

guess I gotta give you part 2 of my confessions
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part 2 of my confessions

A/N: I remember that not everyone liked Michelle when they first met her, but she wasn't all that bad. I felt bad having to kill her off. Please be nice since you read this and leave a review!
