Twenty year old Lily Evans sat in a cold dark cellar. Her cell was at the basement of Voldemort’s Headquarters. Alone. She sat inside the tiny room alone. Death Eaters would come every few hours to torture her. She had even seen Severus Snape a few times. He just stood there watching silently as she became weaker with each visit from the dark cloaked people. He would just stand there and watch her cringe on the floor. Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange and Roldolphus Lestrange were some of her more frequent visitors. They each took turns as they would annoy her.

“Potter isn’t here to save you now!”
“Potter doesn’t even care you’re here!”
“No rescues for the ugly beast!”

And the worst part was that they were right. James Potter did not care that she was here. No rescue missions were created for her either. She had been in this dungeon for four months, three weeks, and twelve days. She had joined the Order of the Phoenix on her eighteenth birthday. She quickly had learned that the Marauders were already involved.

James Potter. She was scared to see him again. The last time they had spoken to each other they were in their seventh year. It was Christmas Eve and once again James was trying to ask her out.

Flashback….

Lily sat in a comfy chair reading her new book. She wore a green sweater and a pair of dark blue jeans. Her slippers were a soft pink and lay on the floor. James Potter walked in with his “game face” on. He walked up to Lily and sat down.

“Fair maiden please do me the favor of accepting my invitation of going to Hogsmeade in my company.” He said.
“No James.” She replied as she put her book down.
“Why!” he said frustrated.
“Because I don’t like you that way.” She explained.
“Tell me why you don’t like me that way!” he said angry.
“Because you hex people! You think you’re better than anyone else! You and your pranks have put more people in the hospital wing than everything else! You make my life unbearable! You always ask me out! I can’t be asked out by anyone else because you threaten them. Do you know what it’s like for a seventeen year old girl that hasn’t even had her first kiss yet!?” Lily screamed as she stood up facing him.

James stood up and looked at her.

“I’ve tried my best to change for you! I hex people because I can’t stand to hear someone speak rudely about you! I don’t think Im better than anyone else; I only take more pride in what I do and how I think about myself than others! But hearing how much you despise me makes me wonder why I ever liked you! You hate me! You care only for your books! Every nice thing I try to do for you results in me being yelled at! I get slapped! So Im giving up! So leave me alone you little princess!” James shouted.

And it was that night when she cried herself to sleep she realized. She liked James Potter.

End Flashback…

And now two years later she was sure she loved him. He truly had given up on her, He resigned from Head Boy and he never spoke to her.

Lily now was horrible looking. Her red hair was mixed with her own blood. It was so long it went down to her elbows. Her skin was full of dirt and her clothes were ripped, bloody and falling off her. She was so skinny that if someone threw her into something she would clearly snap. She knew it was around Christmas, Severus had told her so.

In fact tonight was Christmas Eve. Exactly three years since James and her has their last discussion – fight. She began to sob as she knew she was going to die soon.

Order Headquarters….

“You must act soon. She is so thin she could be chopsticks. She is covered in blood. Leave her there for a little longer and she will die!” Severus said outraged.
“Thank you Severus” Dumbledore said softly dismissing him.

James Potter sat next to Dumbledore refusing to believe anything he heard. Lily could not die. Those three years of silence give him a lot of time for thinking. He still loved her. He never stopped, he couldn’t.

He looked at his friends sadly who wore identical and worried faces. James stood up and walked after Severus.

“Take me back with you.” James said.
“Don’t be a fool Potter.” Severus sneered.
“We need to get her out.” James persisted.
“I agree but Albus said no. You already are a git, don’t be suicidal too.” Severus replied.
“Look we both care about her. I know Severus. She will die unless we do something no matter what Albus says. You give me a portkey, I’ll get her out and you distract everyone.” James said quickly pacing back and forth.
“Fine but if you die. It’s your fault.” Severus growled annoyed.

He walked over to a fire whiskey bottle.

“Portus.” Severus hissed pointing his wand at the bottle. He then turned to face James. “This will take you to her cell.” He said before he disappeared.

James took hold of the bottle before he felt a pull on his naval and disappeared from sight. He landed quickly, making sure not to break the bottle. He made sure to be quiet as he saw a Death Eater torturing Lily.

He removed his wand before walking silently to the edge of the door. He slipped the end through a hole and thought “Stupefy”. On instant, Lily’s torturer collapsed and he pushed into the cell.

He looked at Lily and noticed she had passed out. He swore softly before he kneeled beside her. He took his right hand and slowly used his fingers to brush her cheek. He saw a slight smile appear on her face before he lifted her into his arms quickly but softly.

He held her close to his chest before he whispered in her ear, “Please wake up Lily”. Her eyes squinted open as she smiled at his all too familiar face. She smiled even brighter since James had broken those three years of silence.

“James” she replied whispering before she fell asleep again.

He held her closer and relaxed as she snuggled into his body. James took her out of the cell and touched the bottle again. She was free.

The first thing Lily did when she woke up back at Headquarters was take a shower. She took a while due to the fact that she was very weak and she wanted to enjoy it. The water gave her life as it sprinted all over her and washing away all the blood and dirt off of her. Molly Weasley – who was very pregnant with twins – gave her some of her clothes to borrow and Horace Slughorn whipped up some potions for her.

She had dinner alone as everyone was in an emergency meeting. Albus had insisted on her eating and staying out of it. She had dealed with enough of Voldemort. As the meeting finished she cleaned up her plate. After she spoke with Dumbledore, thanked Severus and smiled at The Marauders who were looking much happier. Though, Peter left with Severus declaring he had to leave for Albania to transfer his mother to St. Mungos.

Lily got dressed into a long red sleeved top, a blue sweater and a pair of pink pajama pants with yellow polka dots. She tied her hair back into a ponytail; she had quickly cut her hair to its original length – shoulder length, and brushed her teeth.

She walked downstairs around eleven and walked into the living room. She laid down on the velvet sofa and watched the flames dance around in the fire pit. She was free thanks to Severus and James. Severus surprised her but James was the one Lily was really shocked by. He saved her. After three long years of silence he saved her, spoke to her and brought her to safety. Confusion. She heard a crack on the stairs and turned only to see James Potter in the flesh standing at the edge of the stairway.

“Kiss Me too fiercely
Hold me too tight”

“James” she said sitting up on the couch.

He walked over to the couch and made it enlarge. He laid down next to her making eye contact.

“We are going to fight tomorrow. Voldemort is furious that you escaped.” James said quietly.

He got up to leave but she pulled him down.

“Stay. We need to talk.” Lily insisted.

“I need help believing
Your with me tonight”

“We haven’t for three years.” James replied laying down again.
“I know. I missed the sound of your voice.” Lily responded without even noticing what she was saying.
“I missed you all together.” He added.
“Did you really?” she asked.
“I really did” he responded in a firm voice.

“My wildest dreamings
Could not forsee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me”

She smiled as she laid down and got closer to him. James summoned some blankets and pillows as he smiled in return.

They became silent as Lily began to think quietly.

“And just for this moment”
‘Gosh he’s so sweet’
“As long as you’re mine”
‘Why did he miss me? I was horrible to him’
“I’ve lost all resistance”
‘Good Godric Im falling in love with him again’
“And crossed some border line”
‘He’s smiling at you, say something’
“And if it turns out, it’s over too fast”
‘How about ‘Kiss me please?’
“I’ll make every last moment last”
‘NO! Say something to show you like him’
“As long as you’re mine”
‘I missed you too’ that’s good’

“Well. I missed you too.” Lily responded.

“Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes”

“I still like you. I’m sorry I snapped at you three years ago.” He said sadly.
“Im glad you did” she responded immediately.

“Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have realized I liked you back.” She finished.

“Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time”

“Three years you liked me and three year I avoided you.” James finished.
“We wasted a lot of time.” She said looking at him.
“What if I die tomorrow and we don’t have time?” he asked stroking her face.
“Then I’ll kill you.” She laughed in a soft tone.

“Say there's no future
For us as a pair
And though I may know
I don’t care”

”Good to know you still are the same Lils.” James said joking around.
“You too James. You too” Lily said as she leaned in a little.

“Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine”

Just then Sirius Black emerged from the kitchen holding a plate of cookies. He walked over to them as they sat up.

“Cookie?” Sirius offered.
“Yes Sirius, that’s exactly what I want. A cookie.” Lily snapped throwing the offered cookie at his head.
“Get out of here Padfoot.” Grumbled James.
“Fine. Later Love Bugs.” Sirius said leaving the cookies on a table.
“He dies tomorrow.” Lily muttered.
“He might.” James replied seriously. “We are going out with the first group tomorrow.”

“Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine”

“I want something from you now.” She whispered.
“What?” James asked stupidly.
“You.” She said before kissing him straight on.

Moments later they pulled apart breathing heavily.

“I think I love you.” James said.
“I know I love you.” Lily said back in reply.
“I love you Lily Evans.” James replied.
“I love you too James Potter.” Lily said quickly.

“Now kiss me again.” She demanded.

He did as he was told.
