A/N omigosh omg omg!! Wow sorry, that was the preppy alter-ego again.
She's particularly strong today. But then, so is the medieval one. So who
knows. Anyway, this story has been published before, sorry! Well, I think
it has. I found it on my comp-which, by the way is new, so it shouldn't
die and lose all of my files like the old one used to-and like, liked it.
The first chapter isn't the best. Read on, even if you find problems.
"Guys, why CAN'T I? I helped you with all of the information, and with that map that we're making, and you won't let me do anything! Come on!"
"Lily, calm down! You know that Snape patrols these hallways!" Remus Lupin hissed, looking around. I glared at him menacingly.
"And 'Lil, you know that we just didn't want you to get in trouble. You won't be a prefect if you're caught doing something like that!" James Potter added. I scowled in his direction.
"Come on, Lily, we'll discuss this in the dormitory. If Snape catches us here, there'll be Hell to pay." Sirius Black said comfortingly. "Come on, Peter."
Peter Pettigrew scuttled from where he had been looking out a casement window at the end of the corridor.
My name was Lily Evans. I had a near perfect life. Top of my year of fourth years, long red hair and emerald green eyes- a borderline beauty by most standards- wonderful friends- mischievous, but loyal-anyone would say that I had a great life.
Except for me.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't ungrateful.....it was just that my friends, though they were wonderful, worried about me too much.
Which was exactly what was happening now.
You see, all of my friends were becoming animangi. Was I?
No.
All because of my friends' stupidity.
I silenced myself sullenly. We walked back to the dormitories.
"Password?" the fat lady said from her picture frame.
"Orchid bouquet." Sirius said.
We climbed through the hole as the picture swung open. Settling in the corner on a group of overstuffed armchairs we resumed our discussion.
"Lily, we don't want you to get caught. That's all." James said, meaning to soothe me but only serving to infuriate me more.
"I did more work that animangus stuff than you did, James, and you know it. I won't be caught."
"Lily, we're sorry, but it is final."
"Wait- we made enough for four parts of the potion." I spoke slowly, thinking out loud. "Remus doesn't need any....and you guys are only three more...there is one part left....and it's indestructible. I WILL become an animangus, and you cannot stop me...I only have to find where you hid it.....and I know that I can find it."
"We- we- we didn't make four parts!" Sirius said unconvincingly.
"Sure." I said with a snort. "Well, I'm going to bed. See you at breakfast."
I headed up the stairs to the top of the girls' tower, smirking smugly.
"Robyn!" I said breathlessly to the golden-canopied four-poster bed. A tousled mass of pale bronze-colored hair detached itself from the pillow, and I looked into a pair of cerulean eyes.
"You have to help me find the part of the potion that they hid!"
"Lily, what in the world are you talking about?"
"Okay," I said, catching my breath, "Well, remember, I told you about how James, Sirius and Peter were becoming animangi so they could be with Remus when he transforms?"
At her nod I continued.
"Well, I looked up all of the information, and we made enough for four. Remus doesn't need any, so the last part is still left. And it's everlasting! And it's indestructible!! They can't possibly destroy it, the best that they could do is hide it!"
"That's wonderful, Lil." She said with a yawn/
"Yes, I know, and they stink at hiding everything. Remember at the end of first year after herbology, when we were playing hide and go seek? I found all of them within two minutes. Remus was practically at my feet, behind a boulder, James was directly above me in a tree, Sirius was just standing behind me with a goofy 'You won't find me' look on his face, and Peter was curled up.....somewhere...I can't actually remember where. Anyway, I'll be sure to find it. But, I'd find it quicker if you'd help me."
Robyn yawned.
"Sorry, I can't right now, Lily, but I will tomorrow. I don't have to help Ms. McKellen until again Thursday, so I won't be as tired. Right now, however, I guess that I'll be fast asleep within minutes. She's a drill sergeant. 'Shelve these, and when you're done, stamp all of these, and then, you can man the desk until I'm done helping these first years.'" She yawned again.
I could see why she was tired. She helped the Hogwarts librarian after classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Ms. McKellen was a formidable, middle-aged woman with dark gray hair in a tight knot.
She seemed to have a soft spot for the angelic, golden-haired bookworm, however. Robyn had offered to volunteer during third year. Ms. McKellen had accepted and Robyn was delighted. She really was an angel incarnate-Golden hair, sapphire eyes, brilliant student, novice phychic and always willing to help.
"Tomorrow night then. Goodnight. Sleep well."
"Mmm-hmm." She replied, settling back into her sheets and immediately closing her eyes.
"'Til tomorrow night," I whispered.
A/N I love you all!!!!!!!
