::Chapter 11: Once Upon a Crescent Moon::

Lily walked slowly towards the Transfiguration classroom. "I don't want to do this, but it's the best for all of us… I know it is…"

She continued walking in a dazed mode, unable to feel, see, or hear anything around her… that is, until:

"Out of my way, Hobo!" Lily looked up to see Cindy glaring at her. "You can't afford to get in my way."

That one line made Lily snap. She was filled with the crap Cindy had been giving her since First year and she could no longer take any of it.

In a split second, Lily took up all the anger within her and punched Cindy in the face. Cindy fell backward and held her nose to make sure it wasn't bleeding. "WHAT ARE YOU-"

"Shut up," Lily said in a dangerously quiet voice. "You think I can't afford to get in your way? Look at this." She pulled out the golden pendant she was wearing underneath her shirt and threw it at Cindy. "Read what it says to me."

"To Lillian Evans," Cindy read in a shaky voice.

"My parents bought that for me with their own money. My family is not poor, in fact, we are far from poor. I bet that compared to my family, you are a piece of trash. Not just to my family, but to anyone. You are a slut, a whore, a bitch, and a childish brat. Do us all a favor and die." Lily grabbed her locket out of Cindy's now blood-covered hands and continued walking towards the Transfiguration classroom. Cindy sat there paralyzed.


James curiously slipped the note Lily left him into his pocket before marching up to her room. Due to the fact that tonight was such a cold night, he shut her window so her room wouldn't be too cold when she came back.

"I wonder what she wants to say," he muttered to himself as he left the room.

He left the Heads' Tower and headed to the Transfiguration Room filled with Curiosity.


Lily sat in the Transfiguration room. The only form of light was the moonlight. She shoved her hands in her pockets for warmth. Her right hand seemed to crumple up something. It was a piece of paper. She pulled it out and walked closer to the window hoping to be able to read what it was, but once there was enough light to read it, the door opened and James stepped in. Now that he was there, with her, Lily didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to say, but she knew she had to say something.


Lily Evans and James Potter stood in the middle of the Transfiguration classroom. The lights were all off; everything would be in complete darkness if it weren't for the moonlight that fell through the curtains.

"I'm tired of this," Lily said. She tilted her head downward so James wouldn't be able to see the tears that came to her eyes. She shoved the papers she held into his chest. "Tell them everything if you please. Just," she paused trying to find the right words, "just leave me alone."

Her crimson red hair flew behind her as she began a soft trot for the door. Thrusting the door open, she began heading for the Heads' Tower.

"Lily," James called. It was the first time he had used her given name. "wait." She stopped in the doorway to hear what he had to say. "I'm so sorry."

"Goodbye," She murmured. It was barely a whisper when she said it, but James was still able to hear her clearly. She quickly ran out.

Once she was a good deal away from the Classroom, she stopped to dry her tears. She felt something poking her in her fist. Surprisingly, it was a note in her handwriting that she didn't remember writing.

Just then, she realized when she wrote it. It was those 7 mistakes that James had in the essay she corrected for her birthday. It did make out a secret message. "I love you too, James Potter," she muttered quietly to herself, "and I've just made the biggest mistake in my life by telling you 'goodbye.' If there's any way I could take back what I said to you a few minutes ago," she said as her voice began to crack.

"I think there is," someone from behind her said. She turned slightly to see James looking down at her. He bent down slightly to kiss her but she backed away stubbornly.

"I'm sorry, will you forgive me?" she blurted out.

He grinned in that boyish way that she used to hate before responding. "Only if you forgive me."

So there you have it. The two of them got together and never left either one's side…

Once Upon a Crescent Moon.
