Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter because I am not the lovely JKR.
Another chapter! Look at that. I'm going to write more tomorrow, I've started chapter 15 but I'm in the mood to read some stories on here so that is exactly what I'm going to do. Enjoy! ~May
Chapter 14
"Are you sure you want to do this?" James asked her for the seventh time before they left.
"Yes I'm sure James, I've told you that at least a million times already." Lily rolled her eyes and James tried to glare at her.
"Lily, you're going to need to give us your address so we apparate there." David reminded her and Lily nodded.
"Wait, can we apparate to Spinner's End and then walk to my house, it's only a couple of blocks and it will make it easier to gauge if there's an awaiting attack."
"That might actually be best, you're thinking like an Auror Lily." David commented and Lily blushed. "To Spinner's End."
The appeared in a dank part of town, they could hear the river nearby and Lily looked down the street, seeing Severus' house on the very end, right on the banks of the river. She smiled slightly before turning to the group and leading them forward, away from Severus' house. After walking a couple of blocks they turned a corner and Lily saw her house only a few houses away. She smiled, but it faded quickly as the night's events resurfaced in her mind. Lily stopped at the edge of her lawn staring at the small house; she took a deep breath then took a step onto the pavement that led to her house.
"Lily?" The voice came from the garden's and made her jump violently.
"Sev?" Lily asked looking at the dark shape that stood half covered in shadows.
"Where have you been?" He questioned sounding panicked.
"That's really none of your business." Lily snapped and the crowd stayed silent behind her.
"I've been worried about you." Severus whispered.
"Yeah right, no, why would you care for a filthy mudblood like me?" She shot at him, the crowd behind her and Severus' visibly winced.
"What are they doing here?" He asked pointing at the group of people, he moved out of the shadow's so he could be seen better.
"I'm moving and they're helping me." Lily said simply.
"Why are you moving?" Severus' looked shocked.
"I don't see how that pertains to you in any way, it is classified information." Lily was harsh, no one had heard her this harsh since fifth year after the mudblood incident. "Go home Sev, please."
"Whatever." Severus was dejected and he just moved off down the street, glancing back several times, before disappearing down to Spinner's End. Lily let out a small sigh before moving up to her front door.
"Do you have electricity?" Lily turned back to David and Evanescence Potter.
"Yes." Evanescence replied and Lily grinned.
"Then we'll have to get all the electronic gadgets." Lily told her before swinging the door open and peering inside. "Who's coming with me to the rooms?"
"I will." James said walking over and she smiled slightly, Evanescence joined them, having been asked by Lily.
"I'll help." Remus offered which left David, Sirius, and Peter for the bottom floor.
"Okay, any pictures and books need to be taken, so just empty out the rooms of those and I'll come help with other things." Lily told the three men left and they nodded, she turned to the second group. "You three come with me."
Lily walked up the stairs to the top floor and the other three quickly followed.
"I'm going to take my room, Remus you can take my sister's room, just find pictures and stuff, don't search her dresser, I wouldn't want you to be embarrassed-"
"Why would I be embarrassed?" Remus asked carefully.
"My dear sister has the oddest choice in Lingerie." Lily told him as subtly as possible, apparently he picked up on it because he blushed and headed to the next door. "Mrs. Potter, my parent's room is just at the end of the hall, any pictures, books, female clothing as possible. James you're free to choose who to help."
"I'll help you." James spoke quietly, his hand brushing hers gently, she swallowed hard at the small contact.
"Okay." Lily said calmly and walked into her room James following slightly after. Lily had tossed herself onto her bed. "I love my bed."
"Glad to know what you think of my house." James joked.
"Your beds are lovely, this is just home." Lily sighed and James watched her, wondering if her comment meant that she liked sleeping next to him.
"What do you want out of your room?" James asked her carefully and she looked around. In the corner was a hamper full of stuffed animals and she grinned before pointing at it. James looked at it. "That's a rather large collection don't you think?"
"I have more downstairs in the basement." Lily explained and James shook his head. She conjured up a couple of boxes and began to fill them with pictures and books. Then she found her suitcase and began to fill it with clothes.
"Do you want me to carry these boxes downstairs?" James questioned watching her dig in one of her dresser drawers; she glanced around the room before tossing in a photo of her and Severus during the summer.
"Yeah, I think they're ready." Lily replied with a nod and pulled out a bra that made James blush madly. She quickly stuffed it in the suitcase.
"I'll just take these down." Then James was gone, carrying the boxes down the stairs. She quickly dumped her underwear drawer into the suitcase before he returned. She had just packed away the last article of clothing when James reappeared.
"It's quite empty in here now." James replied, glancing at the empty bookcase, the sheet ridden bed, and no remnants of life left in the room.
"Yeah." Lily paused. "I'd better go pack my sister's things; you could help your mum I guess, unless you want to take this downstairs."
"I'll take it, and then go help my mum." James replied and after Lily had finished with emptying her sister's clothing, Lily went downstairs to help the men figure out which electronics to take with them. Lily grabbed her favorite cassette's and the boombox, the boys stared at her, but she shook her head.
"Let's go." Lily said and everyone readily agreed. The group returned to the Potter house the boxes of Evans family stuff piled around them.
"Let's take these to a couple of the spare rooms, everyone help." Evanescence ordered and the group complied.
Hope you liked it! Please leave me a review, I really appreciate them! ~may
