(JILY) MARAUDERS AND VALKYRIES : THE FALL OF SERPENT

24. End of 5th Year

The night had been a difficult one for Lily, she gad felt comfortable when James was with her and then her rest of friends had explained that everything was alright. But now laying on her bed wide awake, she thought of the day when she has first met Severus, how her life has changed since then, she was introduced to a different world .  Peunia was there for her first but than when Lily got into Hogwarts, Petunia distanced herself from her.Severus was her only friend when she entered the Hogwarts express. for the first time.

James was still in the common room , wide awake, he has told Serious that he will come up later. James has thought deeply about his actions when he had sat beside Lily today, seeing the pain in which she was, she had hid it the moment they had entered the castle but the pain was still there, the same pain James has noticed on the first day they had met on Hogwarts express.

Snape was out in a broom cupboard sitting alone, he doesn't want to go back to the Slytherin common room. Snape had forgotten that Lily and others were there when Potter has put him down showing mercy, he was angry at Potter and had said those words in anger.  He has tried to beg Lily for forgiveness but she hasn't forgiven him, first she broke the friendship with him for his involvement in dark arts, but he had thought that he could still get their friendship back when they will return for summer but now when he has said that word,  that seems impossible. He remembered the first day on the Haogwarts express when Snape has learned the word "MUDBLOOD".

Flashback----------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 1st, 1976.

Lily's father put her things on the train, but couldn't take it further as parents cant enter the train. 
"Don't worry father I will take it from here." said Lily, her eyes red.

"I am sorry for Tuney dear, she is just sad now but she loves you Lils" said Richard Evans looking at Rose(her mother) who was talking to Tuney. Lily nodded.

"Now, Lily we will write you okay? Your Professor has informed that any letter sent via post addressed to 'Hogwarts' will reach to you. And you can send us your letter through school Owls, your friend Alice Prewett will look after you don't worry. Lily had met Alice on her visit to Diagon Ally but she couldn't talk to her much.

Lily's father kissed her and Lily began moving, finally she found an empty compartment near the end of train, she tried to lift her trunk up but could hardly raise one end.

"Want a hand?" Lily looked turned to see a boy with untidy black hair almost of the same height as her. He was looking happy and has a gentle smile, there was an owl behind him. Lily nodded and together they put Lily's trunk at right place,

"Can I sit in here?" asked then the boy, Lily nodded, than he started to put his own but was not able to so Lily helped him put his trunk inside.

"Thanks," they both said.

"I am James Potter" said the boy putting his hand forward.
"Lily Evans" Lily shook his hand.

James then opened the window, two people started talking to him, both were quite old.
"Sorry, dear Ben has important work otherwise he would have come too." said the man.
"It's okay dad."

Lily's parents came too and wished Lily, Prtunia however was still not looking at Lily. The train whistled and started moving.
Lily waved to her parents, then when they disappeared from sight, she got sad and started crying.
James looked at her confusedly, "Sorry, but you can visit you parents soon for Christmas, Iam also sad for leaving my parents." Lily didn't said anything. "First year?" he asked Lily nodded. "Me too." He saw there was a pain in her eyes. Before James could say any more the compartment opened. a boy entered.
