Chapter 1

Lilly looked up and down the hallway before she walked toward the owlery. She found Draco's owl and gave it a heart-shaped box of lax lozenges that looked like chocolate. She snicked as the owl took off, Draco would be in the bathroom every two seconds now. The admirer letter she had written was a nice touch too. She walked out, a joyous expression on her face. The Weasley twins were waiting for her in the hallway.

"Did you do it?" Fred asked, excited, his eyes shining.

"Did you?" Repeated, his eyes as bright as Fred's. At that moment, Mr. Filch and his cat were limping down the hall, the cliche lantern in hand.

"Mhm." She whispered, her eyes now fixed on Flich walking down the hall. "Afternoon Mr. Filch," Lilly said smiling lightly until he passed.

"Come on, lets go to the Great Hall and see Draco get his package!" Fred and George said in unison. They walked into the Great Hall, sitting down at the Gryffindor table, making sure they had a clear view of Draco. Lilly laughed as the owl dropped the box. Draco looked at Pansey who shrugged. He opened the box and immediately ate one. Seconds after he was tripping over himself to get the bathroom and the whole Gryffindor table was laughing.

"What did you do?" Ron whispered, his face flushed red from laughter.

"A good magician never tells her secrets." She said bursting into laughter as Draco tripped over his own foot and fell over.

"Bloody hell, just tell me!"
"Lax lozenges." The twins laughed in unison.
"You're kidding!" He roared with laughter, several small Gryffindors cowering in their seats.
"Boys!" Lilly snapped playfully, "Yes Ron, we did! Well, mostly me." She smiled, looking over at a girl sitting next to him. The girl stared blankly and emotionlessly ahead.

"What are you looking at?" Ron looked around, not noticing the girl.

"That girl." Lilly giggled, "I've never seen her before." She paused, finally deciding to get the girl's attention. "Hello, I've never seen you before, whats your name?"

"Amadare." She glanced at Lilly when she said her name and then continued to stare blankly ahead.

"She's bloody mental." Ron said to Lilly, not careful to make sure she didn't hear. She didn't even blink.

"Maybe she just needs someone to hang out with." Lilly whispered back. "Hey Amadare! So you want to hang out with the twins and I?" Her eyes flicked to Lilly's.
"Sure." She shrugged.

"Yup. Bloody mental." Ron repeated. Amadare still showed no emotion. She didn't really care what others thought. In that way, she was slightly Slytherin.

"Ron!" Hermione snapped, glaring at him.

"What? Look at her! She looks dead!" Her blurted out.

"Be a little nice please Ron." Hermione scolded, her eyebrows crinkled. Lilly laughed at Ron and looked at George lovingly. "Boyfriend?" Amadare asked Lilly, the questioning filling her eyes.

"Um... No." Lilly said, blushing. Fred laughed and George also turned bright red.

"Huh." The shine left her eyes. "Too bad."

"Why do you say that?" Lilly asked, still blushing. Suddenly before her eyes she saw an image of her and George standing under the mistletoe but it quickly faded before she could see if they kissed.

"I saw and felt the way you looked at him."

"Weird, yet cool." Lilly said, the red finally fading, "But you're wrong about George and I."

"I am never wrong. Eventually, you will see."

"And what about you Amadare?" Lilly said, "Do you feel that way for anyone?"

"I have been told that I do not have a heart because I never have." She paused. "They even dared to call my Slytherin."

"Got a little bit of everything in you don't you." Lilly said, smiling.
