My love: a Lily Evans and James Potter fanfic

chapter 15

authors note; okay so my school blocked Wattpad off of my I pad so i had to long in on  my laptop and it doesn't give me the option of bold text soooo.... i am going to go back and delete the names of the chapters and just list what chapter it is because i feel like some of the chapters have nothing to do with their chapter name because i Would plan on something but end up writing something different (just like J K Rowling intended for Fred to live and be with Hermione and Arthur was supposed to die) but i figured i would let you guys know that way you didn't freak out i guess idk...have fun! ps this is a short chapter

LILY POV

"My parents are dead..." I  whispered. at first i couldn't believe it. Surely that this was just a prank the Slytherins did on me. But I realized that they wouldn't stoop that low. 

i had ran all the way to my room from the great hall. i was now laying face down on my bed. there weren't any tears running down y face at the moment, because i felt like i didnt have any tears left.

I lay there for a while, just thinking. How could they? how could they be so unprepared and not protect themselves? i asked myself.

"because your the only witch in the family you idiot. and you weren't there to protect them. you knew they would be in danger because of you being a muggle born witch, and you left them." i said, answering my own thoughts.

i couldn't help but feel guilty." it IS my fault. if i would have just been normal, and not a witch, they would still be alive. there would still be a house for me to go to for Christmas, and the summer. they would still be here to meet James, and harry in the future...'' I trailed off. I couldn't help but hate myself. I felt like a truly, god awful--

my thoughts were cut off  by a soft voice saying '' it isn't your fault love. its Voldemort fault. he was the one who wanted all muggle families with muggle born witches and wizards dead. And of course you have a place to go for Christmas and the summer. my parents would be honored to have you stay with us until your ready. in fact, my mother decided to investigate your parents deaths herself..'' 

He was cut off when I immediately jumped up off my bed at the news. I was furious. 

" YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT INVESTIGATE MY PARENTS DEATH. YOUR PARENTS WILL NOT ENDANGER THEIR LIVES JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT SPECIFIC DEATH EATER  KILLED MY PARENTS. I  WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MY SELF IF YOUR PARENTS DIED SEARCHING FOR MY PARENTS KILLERS. i...will...not...have...it'' i finished between sobs.

James wrapped his arms around my waist and led me over to the bed. he laid us down and we lied there for a while, until my tears where tried up. we didn't care that we were missing class. i had already decided i wasn't going to the rest of the classes today. i just hadn't intended James staying with me. 

i fell asleep in James' arms.

i wake up to see James isn't there. Even with him not there, i was a little content. even with my parents just dying, I didn't have a single bad dream. 

sighing, i rolled out of bed to see where James had gone. as soon as i leave my room and walk half way through the common room, i see James walking in with a tray of food. he looks up, and smiles when he sees me.

'' i went to get food....'' he murmers, as i look down at the tray of food he brought. there was chicken pot pie, fudge, brownies, ice cream, cake, butterbeer, and to my delight, tacos.

JAMES POV

I saw her eyes light up when she saw the tacos. I had specifically went to Alice and Marlene for advice on what to do when a girl is upset, and they said bring her food and chocolate. i had no idea. she smiled and we walked back to her room. after turning the light on, we set the tray down in the middle of the bed and we leaned against the head board. 

We started chatting a bit, but i saw her throw multiple glances at the tacos, so i chuckled and said she could eat.

After the tacos were gone and 90% of the chocolate was eaten, we moved the tray and lied down fully. i told her i would stay here tonight in case she had nightmares.

She fell asleep 10 minutes after laying down and it wasn't long before I did the same.
