Last
time on 'Old Tales':
He
was in 'deep' conversation with Sirius. How predictable. It must
have been an interesting conversation though, as everyone around them
seemed to be hanging on every one of the words that passed through
their lips. Lily kept watching, the tilt of his head, his hand
gestures, the way that even whilst talking he managed to mess up his
hair. How
does he do it?
She wondered.
This time on 'Old Tales':
Lily sighed as she watched her friends walk away; she felt a tap on her shoulder and swung around violently to find James looking at her questionably.
"Ready to go Lily?" he asked shooting her a grin. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, asking her heart to slow down.
"Lead the way Potter" she said motioning towards the main door, he shot her a sly grin and started walking into a side chamber.
"Ahh… Potter? ... Potter!!" after getting no answer Lily stomped her foot and started after James.
"James Potter! Where are you going?" Lily asked catching up with James.
James laughed and stopped walking causing Lily to crash into him. She fell clumsily to the ground and glared up at the laughing teen looking down on her.
"Well
are you going to keep laughing or help me up?" she asked shooting
James a sour look. A look of shock took over James' face before it
disappeared and he offered Lily one of his hands. She took it trying
not to think of the tingles that shot up her arm when her hand made
contact with his. He pulled her up from the ground and she instantly
let go us his hand, she subtly rubbed it before looking around the
chamber.
"James, why are we here?" she asked confused.
"The entrance to our rooms are here, didn't you hear Dumbledore when he told us?" James said leading her to a life size painting of a unicorn overlooking a lake lit by a full moon.
"Ahh
not really, I was explaining to the girls." Lily said watching in
wonder and admiration as the unicorn slowly walked towards the lake
to take a drink.
"Well the password is 'Quidditch' by the
way" James said smugly.
"Of course it is" Lily sighed
before turning to face the painting again. "Quidditch"
The
unicorn looked up at her and nodded before the painting swung back
and Lily gasped in wonder at the rooms.
"Wow…" she heard and looked over at James who had the same look of wonder on his face.
James looked to see Lily looking at him with a grin on her face; smiling back he motioned for her to enter before him.

Kira watched as Raine, Chloe and Jane ran ahead of her, giggling and eager to get to their beds. She sighed and slowly followed her friends. Walking down the halls of Hogwarts she was plagued with memories of her and Sirius, she could hear the echoes of their laughter whistling down the halls like a frosty wind. She shook her head to rid her mind of the memories and looked up to see her friends waiting for her at the top of the stairs. She shot them a fake grin and ran to meet up with them.
"Well
don't blame me for you guys walking so fast"
Her friends
giggled and they all linked arms, walking purposefully towards the
Gryffindor Common room.
--
"Kira?
Are you awake?" Raine whispered into the darkness. Hearing a
rustling coming from her friend's bed she tiptoed over.
"Kira?"
Raine reached Kira and made a move to awaken her.
"Raine! What are you doing?" Chloe hissed at her friend.
Raine
silently made her way over to Chloe's bed and sat on the edge.
"I
heard Kira sobbing, I didn't know if it was in her sleep or…"
but Raine was interrupted.
"Well
even if she was crying, it's her business" Raine startled as she
heard Jane join the conversation.
"I was just worried…"
Raine said standing up for herself.
"Kira knows she's here if
she needs us" Chloe said softly.
"Yeah just give her time;
all we can do is be there for her" Jane said pointedly. Raine
nodded to herself and made her way back to her bed.
Unbeknownst to her friends Kira had heard every word, and as she covered her mouth with her hands muffling her sobs, a lone tear fell down her cheek.
--
"Morning
Lily-kins"
Lily shot up sharply and ungracefully fell off her
bed, looking around her room she searched for the owner of the voice.
Standing in her doorway was James Potter, an amused smirk on his
face.
"Graceful" he said shooting her a grin.
"Oh bite me" she said using her bed to help her stand up.
"Gladly" he shot back before turning away from her room. "Your friends are here by the way"
Lily
looked up sharply and the instant he left her doorway her friends
flew through the door.
"Lily!! It's the first day of classes!
Why aren't you ready yet! Lessons start in less then two hours!!"
Chloe said in shock looking at Lily in her cherry pyjamas.
"Little Miss. Study is a tiny bit excited" Jane said throwing herself onto Lily's bed and making herself comfortable.
"Calm down Chloe, I'll go have a shower and make myself presentable and then we can go to breakfast okay?" Lily said with a small smile before heading towards her trunk to get her uniform.
"She knows we only have two hours right? She's gonna need longer then that to... Oooff!" Raine was cut off by a pillow being thrown at her by Lily, but before Raine could retaliate Lily had disappeared out the door.
--
"Okay
my shower is finished and I'm presentable we can go to… Oooff!!"
Lily said as she entered her room again, only to be attacked by more
pillows then imaginable. Raine just smiled at her from her position
leaning against her desk, cheekily flicking her wand into the air.
"Okay I deserved that one" Lily said giggling with her
friends.
"Okay who's hungry? I know I am" Jane said jumping
up and ushering everyone out of the room.
--
"Okay
Jane we know your hungry but you can slow…" Kira's words were
caught in her throat when she saw who was standing in the door to
James' room.
"Kira…" Sirius said starting forward but
Kira stepped back sharply as her friends created a human barrier
between himself and Kira.
"No, just no Sirius, Just leave me alone and never talk to me again! Okay? Do you think you can manage that? Well probably not since you couldn't manage not cheating on me!" Kira screamed before storming out of the portrait into the chamber leading into the Great Hall.
All
the girls glared at Sirius before following Kira. James came out of
his room to see Kira's outburst and the glares from the girls.
"Well you really stuffed up this time didn't you Padfoot?"
