Chapter One

Lily could feel the hard ground beneath her feet as she walked through the fifth floor of Hogwarts. She turned around another corner musing at the silence of the castle at night. She always walked around a night, it was the one rule she consistently broke during her time at Hogwarts. It was not as if she did it for the fun or the thrill of being caught Mrs Norris and then enviably being chased by Filch down through the corridors back to the Gryffindor common room. S

he walked when she needed air, a break from the hectic chaos of the common room or even sometimes the Girls dormitory, with Jess breathing in her ear about how she fancied one guy or the other, or how excited she was that it was the last day of term, the last day of their sixth year at Hogwarts. On the one hand, she was excited to be going home, seeing her parents even, though slightly less enthusiastically Petunia. However, Hogwarts was home too now, and sadness prevailed over her former excitement .

Lily sighed.

"Oh well at least it will be a nice break from Potter and his antics" she thought gleefully.

Suddenly, she heard a loud noise, caught somewhere between a laugh and a groan, resonating down the hallway, soon to be followed by scraping and running. And more laughing.

It was long before a figure came into view, running at full speed with a pointed thing out the front of them. Lily squinted her eyes trying to see who the idiot was running towards her was. She realized she'd just answered her own question. Potter.

Soon he was nearly next to her and he stopped, eyes widening with surprise before he swung his head back around, looking for who ever was chasing after him.

"Hurry Evans" he said, snapping his head back around.

Lily frowned, "I shall do no such thing" she hissed in contempt, "What are you up to Pot-" but before she could get any further Potter with a roll of his eyes, had clasped her arm and began dragging her with him.

Thats when she heard it. Filch was coming and judging from the way he was screaming and cursing he was not in the least happy. So she ran. And ran, with Potter desperately thinking "I need a place where I can hide, get away. I need a place to hide"

Suddenly Potter stopped, Lily falling on him from his abrupt halt. She pitched forward with a shriek right into his arms. Quickly Potter caught her and then after quickly glancing at her , clasped her waist and dragged her backwards. Lily was so shocked for a second she did not know what to until suddenly a door slammed in front of her, surprising her so that she once again fell backwards, right into the arms of that smug bastard standing behind her.

She quickly collected her composure, stood up and rounded on the pathetic Potter, who was looking down at her quite smugly until he saw her face, then he look terrified.

For a brief second, she felt sorry for him, then she remembered her current position, wildly glancing around her confirming that she was indeed stuck in a broom closet, with a guy she not only hated but detested and she could not get out, as she knew who would be right on the other side of the door. Filch.

What could she do!
