Lily felt very smug, she had just turned in stupid Potter and his stupid friends for scaring students on Halloween night. Serves them right, she thought. She thought of telling Severus about it so that they could have a good laugh when she realised they weren't on talking terms anymore. She felt her insides give a small twist at the thought of her ex-best friend.
She guessed she owed it to Potter for showing her who he really was, a future Deatheater. Suddenly she stopped feeling sad and instead felt a sort of loathing towards the Slytherin. Towards all of them. They were all going to join the Dark side the minute they left Hogwarts. The scariest part was that they didn't even bother to hide the fact.
They openly admitted that that was exactly what they were aiming to be. Lily could tell that they couldn't wait to serve the one they called their 'Lord'. They were so sure that they would be at large. Well Lily wasn't going to let that happen if she could help it. Right there she gave up her dream of working at 's as a healer and decided that she would do whatever it takes to stop... Voldemort. Lily got chills just by thinking his name. If I plan on stopping him I cant be scared of him, she thought as she entered the common room. She went up to her dormitory to change into her uniform for the feast that awaited the students in the Great Hall.
"Did you tell him?" Mary asked her on their way down. Lily had completely forgotten about Johnathan. Poor boy, she remembered the look on his face when she left him in the corridor earlier. She didn't know how long she could keep up the fake relationship with him. She needed to break it off before it got too serious, not that she had any inclination of falling for him. She saw him as a friend and she couldn't stand the thought of hurting him. She decided to break it off with him the next time she saw him. She promised herself.
They entered the Hall and Lily was once again mesmerised by the gorgeous decorations. It didn't matter that she had been in the school for almost six years. There were bats flying around, hundreds of carved pumpkins floated around with candles in them, lighting up the massive room and the enchanted ceiling had dark, grey clouds against a stormy night sky with it lightening occasionally.
After Dumbledore gave his speech all the students tucked in to the magnificent spread made by the Hogwarts house elves. Lily thought of the Marauders, they were probably cleaning some old trophies or sorting some files for Filch and Lily felt a pang of guilt. She didn't know why, but she felt awfully sorry for the boys.
"I'll be back," she told her friends who were too busy eating to notice her leaving. She set off down the corridor towards Filch's office. You're feeling guilty because Remus is with those prats, NOT because of him, she tried to convince herself, although,deep down she knew it wasn't true. As expected She found Remus and Black in the caretaker's office, upto their eyeballs in old files. She cleared her throat to get their attention. Sirius sneezed and when he saw Lily standing there he sneezed again and Lily couldn't help but give him a small smile.
Remus looked up from a stack of papers and asked," Hey Lils. Why aren't you at the feast?"
"I came to get you, of course," she said as if it were obvious and the two boys looked confused. "Just come," she sighed and they followed her out without any hesitation, relieved that they could Get away from the dust. "Where are the others," she asked Remus.
"Dungeons. Scrubbing the floor for Slughorn," the prefect replied and she led them down the stairs and into the Potions corridor. They wandered around a bit looking for Potter and Pettigrew when they heard some very loud complaining coming from a room, Lily could recognise that voice anywhere. They opened the door and there she saw whom she was looking for. Peter was red in the face and was panting as he sat on the floor, his legs spread out in front of him. Potter was half-heartedly scrubbing the floor, saying something about his wand.
Both of them looked up together and both had the same questioning expression, although Potter looked kind of cute while Peter just looked like he had eaten a particularly sour pickle. Potter scrambled to his feet and brushed off some dirt from his robes. His hair had become wilder with the work he had been doing and Lily found herself fighting the urge to go over and run her fingers through it.
"Come on," she ordered them and the followed her without a word.
"What are you doing, Evans?" Potter asked her as he followed her back to the Great Hall.
"It's Halloween and I don't think its fair for you to miss the feast," she answered. "I'm doing this for Remus," she clarified, not wanting Potter to get a wrong impression.
"That's very cool of you. Unexpected, but cool," he smirked and but she saw a warm look in his beautiful hazel eyes. She had to turn away so that he wouldn't see her blush. "Won't we get into trouble?"
"I'll handle it," she assured.
"She's a keeper," she heard Black whisper to Potter.
"I know," Potter whispered back, making Lily smile to herself.
