1.1.1 "James?" Lily spoke quietly and- almost as if she was disappointed in
him. This was the kind of voice _Dumbledore_ used when you'd been very very
bad. The kind where you'd rather they shouted. "It was you? Explain." She
sat down at looked at him.
1.1.2 "Well," he started to talk in a quietly hesitant, almost scared voice, "I got this dreampeeker 2002 for my birthday, and Sirius decided we could use it for pranks, so I said who, and he said let's try the new girl, see how she reacts to pranks, so I said ok, and this is what we came up with…" dropping his voice at the end.
1.1.3 "Well James, I'm sorry you found it necessary to nearly frighten me into going home on my first night. But-"
1.1.4 "-We didn't want to-"
1.1.5 "Let me finish. But, as you have, well, let's just say, you might want to be _very_ careful these next few days…" She gave him a cheeky grin and a wink and walked back into her dorm.
1.1.6 That girl was weird. One minute she was as stern as Dumbledore, the next a cheeky schoolgirl. He'd have to watch her a bit more closely.
1.1.7 ***
1.1.8 "OIY LILY!" Someone was yelling in her ear. "WAKE UP!" She sat up drowsily and rubbed her eyes.
1.1.9 "Wassup?"
1.1.10 "_Only_ CHRISTMAS DAY!" Fila was getting sarcastic now. Uh-oh. Lily woke up quickly before she poured a bucket of cold water over her head. (Fila had been known to do this, twice, when she got sarky). (A/n sarky= sarcastic)
1.1.11 "Yay! Pressies!" Lily eyed the large pile at the end of her bed. "Can we start now?! Can we?!"
1.1.12 "Why not?" A dry voice commented. "Seems like Lily'll burst if you don't."
1.1.13 "Oh, shut up Diabla."
1.1.14 "Whatever." The owner of the voice stalked off.
1.1.15 "You know, she should really be in Slytherin," Fila muttered. "She's evil enough."
1.1.16 "I heard she was requesting a re-sort." Lily said.
1.1.17 "Wouldn't surprise me," Fila muttered darkly.
1.1.18 "Hey!" said Lily lightly, trying to cheer Fila up. "Lets not let her spoil our day!"
1.1.19 "Yeah. Lets begin!"
1.1.20 Most of Lily's presents weren't that interesting, a packet of Dungbombs from Sirius, a set of silvery new dress robes from Fila, Feral, and Trish, her mates in the dormy (Wow! Cool! Thanks, you guys!), a set of wizard chess wrought from silver and glass from Remus (cool!), and a silvery book from one of her Ravenclaw mates, Slik, about the moon. However, two parcels interested Lily the most, so she opened them last. One was wrapped in shimmery white paper, the other in shiny silver. They were both small, but the silver one was slightly smaller than the white one. She opened the silver one first. There was a white velvety box inside. She opened it, and gasped. Inside was a beautiful filigree ring, crafted with immense care from silver and tiny diamonds. "Wow." She said, completely lost for words.
"What is it? Oh my god. Someone really likes you." Fila said, coming over for a look. "Look in the card and see who it's from."
Lily looked, but all it said in the card was;
To someone I love with all my heart.
I know you'll love it.
I'm closer than you think.
Love, your lover.

"Wo. Well, I've finished all my pressies, I'm going down to the common room to tell-"
"Fila, I'd prefer it if you just kept this between us, please?"
"Oh, all right then. Well, see ya."
That just left the white parcel. She carefully unwrapped it. This contained a silver note, and a silver box. She opened the note. It said:
Lily, I know you've been having trouble containing your powers, but this should help you contain them, and stop all those stares you've been getting.
Albus Dumbledore.
'Dumbledore? Giving her 'something to control her powers?' Why the Transifigurations teacher?' Well, she sposed she'd better open the box, then. She opened it and gasped for the second time in 5 minutes (A/n is that a world record? Does it count if a fic char does it?) for, inside the box, was a large diamond on a silver chain, glittering with an inside power as it revolved in the light. She slipped in on, feeling that it went well with her ring, and, almost by instinct, slipped it under her robes. She'd keep this to herself for the moment.

As she left the feast to go to Gryffindor tower, she heard a strange noise coming from one of the broom cupboard, so she carefully opened the door a crack, and a hand appeared and pulled her in…
*chapter 4 soon, btw, I just realised, I've 4 gotton 2 do disclaimers! Well, here's one for them all,
disclaimer: lily, sirius, remus, albus dumbledore etc., are jk rowlings, anyone/anything you don't recognise is mine.
