Chapter 4

The First Attack

The next morning Lily awoke smiling, for the first time in three months she'd had a good nights sleep. Opening her eyes she was shocked to find her bed surrounded by five girls. Blinking, she slowly sat up, these girls had never spoken to her before so why where they waiting for her now.

"Just thought we'd let you know you little slut, the marauders are ours. You better stay the hell away from them or we will make your life a living hell," threatened Kylie.

Kylie was the leader of the 'bitches from hell' as Lily liked to refer to them; she was blonde with big boobs and long legs. She would be pretty if it wasn't for the make up she plastered on everyday but she was well known for her 'services' she wasn't fussy about who she slept with. She had a different guy every day but everyone knew she really wanted James.

The other four girls were nameless to Lily, they didn't really have their own opinions or anything, they were just Kylie's clones, copying whatever she did.

"Why would I want the marauders? They decide to come and bug me, I would have been happy to have been left on my own," argued Lily.

"Bull. Why would they willingly come to you, you filthy whore? You've had James under your spell for years and now you are moving onto the others. You act all sweet and innocent but really you are a scheming bitch," with that Kylie slapped Lily across the face, the force knocking her backwards.

Lily backed up against the wall, tears coming unbidden to her eyes, this was her haven, she couldn't be hurt here, she was meant to be safe, this wasn't happening.

"Cry about it all you want you slag, this is only beginning," sneered Kylie before leaving the room.

As the dormitory door slammed shut, Lily broke down. She wasn't trying to cause trouble, she hadn't asked the marauders to talk to her, they did so of their own free will. There was no way she would be able to stop them, so Kylie would never stop. School was her safe haven, here she had months away from the abuse she suffered at home, if this carried on, there would be nowhere safe anymore.

Lily stopped crying and suddenly sat up, if James loved her as much as he said he did then he would stop these girls. Though that required trusting him but what would she lose if he didn't stop them, it would carry on but it would also carry on if she didn't ask him for help. It was a hard step to take, it had been so long since she trusted anyone but she wanted so badly to try.

Quickly before she could change her mind Lily got up, she quickly smeared pain relief cream over her ribs, she could cope with the rest, she pulled on the first clothes she saw and pulled long auburn hair into a messy ponytail before walking out of the dorm.

She could see the marauders sitting on the couch facing the dorm but they were two busily engrossed in conversation to notice her. She took a long breath before walking down the stairs and sitting next to James on the couch.

"Hi," she said nervously. "Can I talk to you for a second James?"

James turned round to face her, his eyes show with pure happiness, not believing the love of his life wanted to talk to him. He was about to answer her when his face became a mask of pure fury. Lily shrank backwards, shaking, the expression on his face reminded her of her dads when she had displeased him.

"WHO THE FUCK DID THAT TO YOUR FACE?!?" he shouted.

Lily put her hand to her cheek, she had forgotten to cover up the handprint, she opened her mouth to answer but she couldn't, she was frozen in terror.

"Prongs mate calm down, you're scaring her," Sirius said, placing a calming hand on his friends arm as he walked past.

"Lily," Sirius called softly as he knelt in front of her. "It's okay huni, he's not mad at you, he just wants to know who hurt you."

Slowly Sirius edged her off the sofa and into his lap, rocking her gently and stroking her back as heart wrenching sobs tore through her body. James, realising his mistake, sat down beside the two of them.

"I'm sorry Lily," he said, placing a hand on her leg. "I don't like to see you hurt and I got mad, please tell me who did this?"

"Kylie….she wants me to stay away from you guys," sobbed Lily.

Fury filled the boy's eyes; after comforting Lily for a few more minutes Sirius carefully transferred her to James' arms.

"Take her upstairs Prong's," he said through clenched teeth. "I know you want to sort them out but go upstairs and look after your girl, Remus, Peter come with me."

James P.O.V

James watched the other three walk out of the room, he wondered why Lily hadn't protested but he noticed she'd exhausted herself and fallen asleep.

He had always dreamed about having Lily Evans in his arms but not under these circumstances, he stroked her hair and marvelled over how thin she had got, you could almost see her bones. They would have to do something about that. Looking at her sleeping, so peaceful and innocent, he wondered how someone could want to hurt her, she was perfect to him. He would do anything to protect her, gently he stood up being careful not to wake her, he needed to get her out of the common room before people came back from breakfast.

The only option was the boy's dorm; he carried her up into his dorm and lay her down in the bed, smiling as she snuggled into the pillow as he covered her up. He pulled over a chair and settled down at the side of her.

Sirius P.O.V

Sirius was seething whilst he walked down the corridor, how dare those ugly bitches touch Lily.

He threw open the doors and stormed into the great hall, everyone spun round to look at him. Scanning the room he spotted his targets at the end of the Gryffindor table. As he walked towards them he saw their faces lighting up, obviously they thought he was going to sit with them, and then he saw their faces drop as they looked behind him. Glancing over his shoulder he saw what had made them stop. Remus.

If Remus ever got really angry, the wolf become evident on his face, he had a snarl like expression on his face, he looked terrifying.

"SMITH, YOU FUKCING SLAG," shouted Sirius.

Kylie visibly jumped. "Yes Sirius…."

"How dare you touch Lily, you good for nothing little whore," yelled Sirius as he grabbed her by the robes.

"Sit down," snarled Remus as the other girls went to stand.

"You ever touch her again and I will kill you" threatened Sirius.

"Literally," chimed in Remus and Peter.

"What's going on here?" demanded McGonagall as she walked over to break up the argument. "Mr Black, let go of Miss Smith now, detention for you Black, Lupin, Pettigrew."

"I'll gladly have detention but you might want to make it two because I'm not going to be in lesson today" retorted Sirius.

"You will be Mr Black," ordered McGonagall.

"With all due respect professor, none of us will be including James and Lily," answered Remus.

"And why is that Mr Lupin?" asked McGonagall, visibly confused as to why four of her best students where not planning on coming to class.

"These little bitches…"

"Language Mr Lupin"

"Decide to attack Lily this morning, just for talking to us, at the moment James is comforting her in the common room, we need to get some bruise reducing potion for the mark they left on her face, we don't plan on leaving her alone for the rest of the day and she is in no fit state to be going to class" explained Remus.

McGonagall looked shocked.

"Is this true Miss Smith?" she asked as she rounded on the crying girl.

"She deserved it," Kylie spat.

Remus grabbed Sirius cloak as he leapt forward to grab her again.

"I do not see how Miss Evans asked to be attack, just by talking to a group of fellow Gryffindor's, two months detention for all of you and 100 points from Gryffindor," McGonagall held up a hand as everyone started to object. "Your detentions are cancelled boys and 50 points to each of you, including Mr Potter for taking care of your fellow student," she smiled. "Now run along and look after Miss Evans"

The boys stood there shocked, they had attacked another student and got nothing, even though they were defending Lily they had been prepared for some punishment, quickly before she could change her mind, the boys left.
