Chapter 17: Lily's Heartaches


While Bella and Regulas dragged Lily through the castle, she though, “What have I gotten myself into?”

Finally, they entered into an inner chamber; they had gone through so many passageways that Lily knew she would never be able to find her way out. Regulas sat Lily down and whispered, “I’ll be back, my sweet.”

Lily wanted to throw up. “What did I ever see in him?” she asked herself.

Then, someone did throw up. Lily turned and saw Bella, vomiting profusely. Lily smirked, “Well, it looks like I’m not the only one who’s pregnant.”

“What!?!” Bella asked in outrage. “I’m not………I can’t be………oh my god! I’m pregnant!”

“Is it really that surprising Trixi?” Lily smirked; Bella scowled.

Minutes later, a tall man walked in with Regulas. Lily stared up at a horribly scarred face; traces of good looks remained, but most of the handsome features had vanished. Lily was staring into the face of Lord Voldemort.

“Well, well, well,” he smirked. “What can I do for you Mrs. Potter?”

Lily discreetly pulled out her wand. She replied, “You can die a slow and painful death.” Lily cried, “Avada Kedavra!”

Voldemort dogged the ‘bullet’. “Bella, torture her,” Voldemort commanded. But she could do nothing, except turn to the corner and vomit.

“What the hell is the matter with you?” Regulas asked while Voldemort managed to get Lily’s wand away from her.

Again, Lily smirked, “She’s PREGNANT!”

Regulas looked shocked. “But you aren’t married!” he shouted disbelievingly.

Bella scowled, “I know that!”

Voldemort cleared his throat, “Bella, Regulas, we must be rude to our guest here!” He turned to Lily. “I’ll make you an offer Potter. If you join me, you and your baby will live happily. If not…….well……. I’m sure Regulas will have some fun ideas.”

“Over my dead body!” Lily cried.

“So, be it!” Voldemort stated. “CRUCIO!” Lily withered on the ground; oh there was so much pain, but she refused to scream……. then everything went black.

************************************************

A few hours later, she woke up. She was in a very comfortable bed; and looking around she realized that she was still in the castle.

Regulas walked in. “Lily I’m sorry,” he said, and he truly looked sorry. “But, I’m under orders.” He cried, “Preteritus-in-tendo!”

Lily fell into a trance; the purpose of that spell was to cause her pain, but not in the same way as ‘Crucio’. That spell made her relieve her heartaches.

She was 16 years old again, lying next to Sirius. All of the feeling of a first love floated back to her. They kissed, it was a truly passionate kiss; moments later, they broke apart. Sirius had a look of pure sorrow on his face. He said, “Lils, I’m sorry, but we can’t do this. I love you, but I can’t………James has loved you for so long…. and I wouldn’t be his best friend if I went out with the girl that he loves.”

Lily remembered the pain and sorrow she felt when Sirius had broken up with her. And then, she remembered Regulas.

She was almost 17, when she spotted the handsome Regulas Black. She still had not completely gotten over Sirius, but Regulas was so handsome and kind! No one else was around, and Regulas put her under the Imperious Curse! He led her into the Room of Requirement, and forced her to do everything he asked.

Finally, one night, she gained some control. She ran to the infirmary and told the nurse the whole story, through sobs. The amount of bruising all over Lily’s body was horrible; the nurse checked her over, and concluded that she would need to stay in the hospital wing for at least three weeks. Lily had become hysterical at that news, so the nurse called her friends (the marauders, and flowers, except Peter) down. Sirius, Remus, and James had made her tell them everything……. the looks on their faces were horrible.

However, because of the spell, Lily could not remember how they all had hugged her and told her everything was going to be all right.

She could not remember how Remus, Sirius, and James had gone and beat Regulas to a pulp.

And, she could not remember James, and how he was her true love. She was only left with the heartaches that she once had to bear.
