This one took me a while and it's actually pretty long :)
Hope you like it by the way, I just kept on writing so the bits at the start are kinda skipped over cause I wanted to write the end.
I warn you know, there will be mistakes (it's quarter to eleven, that's just how dedicated I am to you guys :') )
I wrote most of this in German cause that's how hardcore I am :)
Soooo... Yup, read, review and (hopefully) enjoy :D
As Lily made her way down the stairs to the Entrance Hall, her hands shook. She was so nervous. The whole 'dating' thing was so new and scary. How was she meant to act? How was she to do? What the hell was she meant to wear?
Nicola had (thankfully) stepped in on that part. She wore dark blue (quite fitted) jeans, a green checked shirt (to compliment her eyes), an old pair of converse trainers (that Lily insisted on wearing) and a zip up hoodie to cover her shoulders. Her hair was tied back with a green ribbon (again with the eye thing).
Luke waited at the bottom of the stairs and smiled as he saw her. He looked so cute, his hair, his clothes, just everything.
"You look amazing," Luke beamed at her.
"You don't look so bad yourself," Lily grinned back.
Luke reached out for her hand, waggling his fingers. Lily took it and they started to walk down to Hogsmeade. Filch was on guard with his security sensors and McGonagall gave them a speech about not going out of the protective field around the village.
The two of them strolled around for a while, content in each other's company. They had a butterbeer in The Three Broomsticks, repaired Luke's cauldron in Dervish and Banges and agreed to avoid Madam Puddifoot's. They had also visited the Shrieking Shack and just generally enjoying being with each other.
Suddenly Luke stopped walking.
"Oh. Lily I'm so sorry, I've got to go meet Beth Gellar for our History of Magic project at three. She's kinda tutoring me as well, America's courses are different so... do you mind if I go? I mean I can stay…"
"Stop looking so guilty, I understand! Go or you'll be late!"
Luke was still for a moment before leaning down and kissing her softly on the cheek. He pulled away after a few seconds and Lily fought to stop herself from beaming. Luke smiled at her before walking away.
Lily grinned widely but struggled to stop herself from childishly wiping her face.
Strolling around Hogsmeade, Lily shivered. The weather had a chill to air, a contrast to the warm autumn air earlier that morning. The wind picked up and goosebumps erupted down her spine. She pulled her thin jumper closer around her. The wind blew more and more as black clouds rolled overhead. The gust was loud in her ears and Lily put her head to her chest. Her green ribbon came out of her hair and was taken with the wind. Lily ran after it, not thinking straight until she came to the last row of houses in the small village. The ribbon kept flying, swirling through the wind. Lily kept sprinting after it until she took a step too far.
The magical shield rippled around her and it all happened quickly after that. Thunder crashed as black swirls appeared in the sky. Dark figures churned around her, their silver masks gleamed at her menacingly. Dark eye sockets stared back at her and Lily shook, but not because she was cold.
One Death Eater approached her, the person's mask not far from her face. "What have we got here?"
Another approached. "A student. What's that? A pretty little badge, Head Girl I see." The masked man sneered.
The people in the circle laughed at her. Lily tried to look unaffected, it would be worse if they saw her tears. In her moment of trouble she thought of the strongest person she could think of. What would James do? He always knew what to do.
"Leave me alone." Lily stood tall and stared the Death Eater in the eye.
"What did you just say?"
Lily wavered a bit. "You heard." She said in a surprisingly strong voice. Her knees were shaking and her breath was jagged.
The dark circle was silent for a while before a woman laughed. Her maleficent cackle verged on hysterical as she stepped into view. Her black convoluted hair hung over her face but barely managed to cover her equally black eyes. She would have been beautiful if her face was not twisted with madness. She was only ten or so years older than Lily but her hooded eyes and gaunt face made her look twenty years older.
"Poor little mudblood, thinks she can be brave. Poor little piggy." The woman laughed more. "Let's hear you squeal little piggy."
Lily's eyes widdened.
"Crucio!"
Lily's knees buckled as she fell to the ground. She tried to hold back a scream as her legs twitched and her back arched. She rolled and squirmed trying to ease the pain but it wouldn't stop. Her spinal cord was on fire and she felt as if some one had thrown petrol over her and set it alight.
Suddenly, the pain ceased and Lily whimpered into the dirt.
The witch bent down and whispered into Lily's ear. "Come on little mudblood. Scream piggy, scream..."
The torture continued and Lily did scream. Her screeched cut through the air and her hands clutched her hair, willing the pain to stop. For someone, anyone, to come along and save her.
Lily turned in the mud to spot two figures race towards her, wands out firing curses towards where she lay in the mud. As they came closer, Lily saw James and Sirius. She had never seen James so angry. Lily smiled in relief, James would help her.
The woman's head snapped round when she saw Lily's smile. "Sirius Black," she hissed. "Filthy bloodtraitor!"
Sirius fired a jet of green light at a Death Eater and he flew backwards. "Dear cousin Bellatrix, for what do... I owe... the... pleasure?" Sirius grunted with the strain of dueling with two death eaters as well as his relative. James was taking on four but two disapperated, not happy with the way things were turning out.
One of the Death Eaters pulled off his mask and long blond hair fell down from his face. Lily recognised him as Lucius Malfoy, he had been friends with Severus a few years ago. Was this where Sev would end up?
"Bellatrix! You felt the Dark Mark, come. Now!"
"Lucius..."
"No excuses! Now, come."
Bellatrix's piercing eyes glared at Sirius. "I'll find you one day Black. You too Potter."
"You won't need to," James snapped back. "If you have harmed a hair on her head, I will hunt you down and-"
"Ohhh, Potter, I'm shaking in my boots. How will I sleep at night knowing you're coming to find me?" Bellatrix laughed before disapperating.
Sirius stared with loathing at the point that Bellatrix just vanished from. "I hate that Bitch." He spat on the ground.
James bent down over Lily, his eyes full of concern. "Lily," he said gently. "Are you okay." Lily nodded, dazed. "Can you walk?"
Lily shook her head slightly to clear it. "I... I think so."
Lily put one arm around James' shoulder and one around Sirius'. They walked a few meters before Lily's knees fell out from underneath her. James caught her and swung her gently into her arms and carried her back to the castle.
As they entered the Entrance Hall, Mary and Nicola ran up to her. "Lily! Lily! What happened?"
"It's nothing, I just... I just want to go to bed."
Nicola was about to protest but Mary dragged her away. "We understand."
Sirius looked around at James. "I think I'll go tell McGonagall what happened. Yunno, just in case they come back."
James nodded at him before he turned and strode away.
Lily stared up at James. "James?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we not go by the main stairs? I don't want everyone staring."
James nodded before turning and pushing past a painting. They were silent for a while until James reached the seventh floor.
Lily winced as her muscles became stiff.
"Nearly there," James soothed.
It was silent a few minutes before Lily couldn't it take it any more. She wouldn't be able to bear being alone. "Please don't leave me." She sobbed.
"I never even considered it." He smiled down at her.
James seemed to reach his destination. He strolled past the same stretch of wall three times, concentration on his face. After half a minute a door appeared. Lily looked confused.
"Room of Requirement."
Lily had read about it before but never managed to find it. No doubt James would have.
As she entered, Lily noticed a king size bed with lots of fluffy pillows lining it. It looked so warm and inviting that she yearned just to be lost in the thick covers. James put her down and tucked her in. He pulled a strand of hair from her eyes and tucked it behind her ear. "Sweet dreams, Lilypad."
Lily fell asleep within minutes.
Lily woke up a few hours later with a jump. "James?"
"Lily? What's wrong?"
Lily didn't say anything. Tears streamed down her cheeks leaving clear paths as they flowed downwards. James got up from his seat and hugged her to his chest. She fit perfectly in his arms.
Lily wept and wept, ruining James' shirt. He took off the leather bracelet round his wrist and wrapped it round hers. "Here, this'll keep the bad dreams away."
"Thank you," Lily whispered.
"It's okay Lily," James whispered as he kissed her forehead. "It's okay."
Awww :)
Cute Lily/James moment there
This chapter is a little far fetched but...
