"Lily you know that you love me." James Potter shouted.
"I don't, I hate you!"Lily cried.
"No, Lily! You are my joy, you are my life and one day you will be my wife!"
"Nooooooooo!" Lily screamed. She sat up quickly and realised that she had fallen out of bed. Mary looked at her strangely seeing as it was 6 am in the morning. Lily got up and jumped back onto her bed.
"Mary?"
"Yup, Lily," Mary replied.
"I had another bad dream."
"Well, the bad dream part was quite obvious. What was it about?"
"James Potter and I."
"Oh My God, you sooo love him." Mary made kissy faces.
"No I do not love him. The dream was actually about me hating him and he did recite some awful poetry."
"That is so romantic! James and Lily sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
"Shut up!" Lily replied throwing a pillow at Mary and stalking into the bathroom to get ready.
"You know it is a Saturday, you could go back to sleep." Mary stated.
"Can't be bothered." Was the reply.
Three hours later Mary, Lily and Emily walked down to breakfast all dreaming of the wonderful and vast amounts of food that awaited them. As they choose seats down the end of the Gryffindor table they found that they were conveniently very far away from the Marauders. Ten minutes into the meal they owl post arrived. A very scrawny barn owl arrived in front of Lily. It dropped its letter in front of her and flew away to the owlery. Lily opened the letter and read it privately.
Lily,
Mum and Dad are dead. They died in a car crash on Monday. I recieved and sold the house and most of the furniture except for yours which I burned. We each get 2.5 million dollars yours is in a bank account in the family bank. I am marrying Vernon Dursley in 3 weeks. I do not want you to be there nor do i want to speak to you ever again.
Petunia.
Lily reread the letter at least 4 times. She couldn't comprehend that her parents were in fact dead. She lost her entire family in less than a week. Loud crashes brought her back to the present. Dishes and plates were flying off the table as James Potter walked down the length of the Gryffindor table. Amongst the shock she was sincerly hoping that he wasn't walking towards her. He stopped right in front of her and she cringed as he started to sing. Yes, sing.
"And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time" ("All of the time!" Sirius added his own bit whilst playing air violin)
"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight"
It would have been more embarrasing for James if he wasn't so confident and if he didn't have such a good voice. Lily looked around only to see shocked and gobsmacked faces on the students. As she glanced at the staff table she saw Dumbledore tapping his foot and nodding his head with the beat and all the other teachers struggling to keep straight faces.
Proffesser McGonagall stood up and cleared her throat. "Mr Potter that is quite enough, sit down, you too Mr Black."
James turned and looked at Lily before leaving and said loudly "Go out with me Evans?"
Lily looked at him. The stress of James singing to her on top of the fact that her parents were dead was too much for her too handle. "NO! I WILL NOT GO OUT WITH YOU! WHY CAN'T IT GET THROUGH TO YOU IDIOTIC BRAIN? I HAVE NEVER LIKED YOU! I NEVER WILL LIKE YOU! WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE? FOR THREE YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN BUGGING ME AND IN THREE YEARS I HAVE NEVER SAID YES! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I NEVER WILL SAY YES! YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME BUT YOU DON'T TREAT ME THAT WAY! YOU BET WITH YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT ME, YOU BUG ME, YOU PRANK ME… I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THIS SCHOOL THAT ACTUALLY HATES YOU! I REALLY DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW, POTTER! JUST GO AWAY!" The chandelier that had been previously hanging from the roof suddenly smashed to the ground sending shards of glass everywhere.
Amidst all the screaming Lily ran out of the great hall, tears were streaming down her face. She ran up countless staircases and down corridors until she was hopelessly lost, there was one door ahead of her that was slightly open and seemed to be beckoning her. She cautiously went in and standing in front of her was a gigantic mirror. Around it was inscriptions in a strange language. Although she knew that there was something different about this mirror she didn't hesitate to look into it and see her most likely horrid reflection. When she looked into the mirror she saw something she never would have thought she would see.
There staring back at Lily was James Potter with his arm around her and in her arms was a baby, looking just like James. This was too much for her too handle. Lily staggered back and collapsed onto the ground and drifted into unconciousness.
