Tears and Pain
Chapter 1

Lily Evans looked out of the train. This would be her last time ever seeing Hogwarts again in the same way. The Graduation Ball had finished last night and she remembered everything so clearly. The taunts that were thrown at her, how bright the Gryffindor table looked like; everything. Suddenly she felt something touch her arm.

She found herself lost in the eyes of James Potter, her boyfriend of 6 months. He was in a kneeling position and her eyes started clouding up.

"Lily Evans, will you marry me?" he said in a hopeful tone. Her held up tears dropped and she whispered, "Yes James."

He grinned as he slid a beautiful ring that had a single emerald in the middle up her finger.

1½ years later

"JAMES! WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT? YOU'RE NEVER HOME AT NIGHTS ANYMORE AND YOU KEEP ON SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO 'WORK'! BUT I KNOW YOU'RE NOT WORKING AT THE AUROR OFFICE, BECAUSE I WENT THERE LAST NIGHT AND YOU WEREN'T THERE! TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE!" Lily screamed in my ear. I flinched as she yelled at me.

I saw her breathe in and out, trying to control herself. It wasn't hard to see what I was doing. My clothes were all rumpled up and I smelled like sex. I knew I was gong to get hell for this. Quickly, I racked my brain for ideas.

I meekly said, "uh....I was at Sirius's house playing Quidditch when-"

She smirked, "James? I called Sirius. He said that you were out having fun. What fun were you having again?"

Almost too quickly, I plastered my innocent smile and said, "I went to the Muggle Movies to see the new movie-"

Lily raised her eyebrow saying, "Then how did your clothes get all messed up?"

I looked around myself for help. It seemed as if I was trapped by my lies. Now I was going to be half-killed by my wife. Uhoh.


He muttered, "I was at Rita's house just talking when she started to hit on me." James blabbered on while my anger bubbled inside of me.

Suddenly, I exploded. "JAMES HAROLD POTTER! YOU WERE CHEATING ON ME! YOU ARE THE WORST HUSBAND EVER!" I knew my voice was scratchy and my tears were starting to drip down my face. But I was furious and anyone normal could see that.

I was so angry I didn't realize what I was doing. I started packing up all my clothes and belongings with my wand. Within a few minutes, it looked as if James lived alone. I never existed.

As I stepped toward the door, I said calmly, "I'll send you the divorce letters tomorrow. GOOD NIGHT!" And I slammed the door. There was a huge crack, and then I was gone.


Running out of the house, I tried to find her, but she was gone, probably at Arabella Figg's house. My eyes tried to push back my tears, but I couldn't. I ran into the house and my tears trickled out of my hazel eyes. I'd lost my wife, my Lily. Forever.
