A.N Here is another chapter.... it's up quicker than other updates..... I hope to get another chapter up soon, I have already started on it so it should be up soon. One of the upsides of having no extra shifts at work these holidays. My Poll will be closing soon so make sure you get your votes in.

This chapter has not been read over by my beta, its appears she is M.I.A, but i thought you guys deserved to have another update... so enjoy.

Hanging behind the piece of sewn material, sat a cold stone built wall and nothing more. No secret door or passage what so ever. Could the tapestry have been moved perhaps, or did Remus pull her leg about the passage way. He didn't seem the type to do such thing, so it must not have been for a laugh, but why tell her that there was a way to the Library if there wasn't one?

Now she was just confused. Maybe just maybe the walls changed. Well the stairs do don't they? So why not the walls. Lily snorted at her train of thinking. Walls moving HA that was a good one even in the magical world. It was just weird that she was told that there was a passage here when there wasn't. Moony ad claimed to have used it so many times and he said it was in the Gryffindor Common room and this was the only tapestry with a Fwooper and a Lion in it, so where was this passage?

Was it Invisible? Hidden? Non-existent? A joke?

Could it possibly be hidden? Perhaps she needed to move the wall somehow.

"Okay Genius" Lily said to herself "How do you move a wall only using wrist movements?"

It was just bugging her nerves that this Passage way was not to be seen. Letting out a frustrated sigh Lily leaned forward to the wall to lean her hand against the stone. Yet her hand never reached the stone like it should of. Instead she felt herself falling and became acquainted with stone floor. Now that confused her even more. It wasn't stone floor that was underneath the tapestry but a huge rug, so where in the world did this flooring come from. Snapping her head up for a look, Lily found herself staring down a long narrow pathway surrounded in almost complete darkness, with a few flamed torches lining the walls.

Pulling herself of the ground, Lily brushed the dust of her knees and looked up once more.
Alright she was definitely losing her mind. Just a few moments ago she was looking at a hallway and now once again she was looking at the stone wall. Yep she had lost her mind or at least Hogwarts was messing with her.

This was not possible. There was either a wall there or there wasn't. It couldn't be both.

Curious, Lily raised her hand to the stone right of the tapestry and brushed her hand against it. Cold stone wall met her fingertips. Nothing weird or unusual about a wall, just plain and simple stone. Just like a wall should be. But as Lily ran her hand towards the left something weird happened. Just as her hand moved into the space of the wall behind the tapestry, it disappeared.

From her wrist to her fingers, she had no visual. She could not see it at all. Hands were not suppose to go through walls. Twisting her head in both directions, Lily assessed the common room for anyone that might be watching her. Having an all clear, Lily turned her attention back to her hand that was still half missing. So there was a passage way....... it was just hidden but not just by a tapestry. It was tricky but a good way of hiding, but very annoying also. Why couldn't it have at least been a door..... not some illusion that had her doubt her own insanity and the minds of her escort...... well mind.

Pulling her hand towards her, Lily once again gained sight of her fingers. Although she knew she still would have them when she pulled them out of the door, it was still reassuring to see them.

Eager to see the Library, Lily took one large step towards the wall with her eyes tight shut. Although it was obvious that she would walk through, the thought that it looks like a wall is enough to get the nerves going. For what would happen if she went to walk through only to find it was a solid wall.

A slight chill ran down Lily's back as she took the step. It was possible that it was just the feeling you would get when you walked through an illusion. It was only a guess as Lily had never seen anything like this before.

Cracking her eyes open again. Lily saw the flame torched hallways once more. She was getting excited now. This was her first secret passage way of hopefully many. She would have to get them out of Remus, and the best thing was that Moony had told her not many students knew about this passageway....... why she did not know........ but if it was so unknown, She would have ask Remus how he came across it.

Taking a deep breath, Lily began to walk. Ignoring the shadows the flames made as much as she could, Lily walked for a while down slopes around a sharp corner only to have her feet swished out from underneath her.

"AAHH" she yelp as she met he ground. Groaning as a bout of pain coursed through her body, Lily glared at the object that she had apparently fallen over. It looked much like a baseball bat only stubbier in size. It was clearly old due to the state of the wood it was carved out of, as well as the rusted colour of the metal bands wrapped around the bat. Whatever it was it wasn't going to survive the night.

In a vent of rage, Lily stepped up and swiped the object from the ground and whipped her arm back ready to throw. Engraving along the handle caught her attention. Sirius Black it read. A student perhaps? Well his bat was toast whoever he was. Raising it above her head, she pushed her arm forward. Nothing happened. She couldn't bring herself to destroy someone else's property. She wouldn't like someone to destroy her belongings no matter how old it was.

Stepping towards the wall, Lily placed the bat on a ledge in the wall. The light of the flames around her light up the name once more, Lily backtracked at this. This meant it was not just Moony who had discovered the passage way. Some Sirius person had known it was here too. Maybe it wasn't that secret as Moony had once thought.

With nothing else to ponder about this Sirius character, Lily began down the passage again, really hoping that she doesn't come across another object that causes her to fall over, because if she did its wouldn't be given mercy like the bat.

Yet it seemed this would not happen. Only a few moments passed before Lily came to a dead end. There was a wall in front of her, one on each side and just a hallway leading back to the common room. Was this another illusion? Would she have to walk through this wall as well.

Reaching her hand out towards the wall, Lily's fingertips brushed hard stone. So it was no illusion, it was a solid wall... and how exactly was she supposed to get through? Frustrated Lily leaned on her arm against the wall and let out a sigh.... maybe this passage wasn't as exciting as she originally thought.

Feeling defeated, Lily slumped on her arm against the wall. This wasn't going according to plan at all. Lily had thought it would have been easy as looking behind the tapestry and walking through to the other side......... but no, she had to come across illusions, bloody bats and now a solid wall. Man she hated this.

Sighing once more, Lily shifted her weight off her feet and onto the wall. With a jolt of shock Lily moved forward slightly. Straightening up, she stared at the wall. Had it just moved? Putting both hands against the stone, Lily pushed forward. The wall moved with her. Budging with each step she took. About to push the wall completely out, Lily started to worry......... wouldn't the wall fall down if she pushed further?

She wanted to see the library. She had come all this way, she may as well keep going.

With a determined intake of breath, Lily once again applied pressure on the wall, pushing it forward. As it reached the location it would fall, Lily closed her eyes, cringing, waiting to hear it fall and meet the ground with an almighty bang. Instead she felt the stone brush her fingertips as it moved right. Snapping her eyes open, Lily found the wall fitted snugly to the right against another wall.

Surprised at this happening, she stepped forward into the room. Books, was all she saw, books. Lined together on shelves that covered the floor in every direction.

Smiling widely to herself, Lily took a few more steps forward..... Moony was right..... this was a brilliant secret passage to know.

Lily had never seen so many books, not even at her state school or local library of Little Surrey. To top it off as well was the fact that these titles belonged to the magical world. None ever finding home in a muggle's bookshelf.

She moved in and out of all the shelfs taking in only a few titles of all the thousands that were here. She came across the Restricted Section also. She maybe all alone in the library at the moment with no one to stop her, but that didn't mean she was going to prowl into a place that was out of bounds..... at least not yet.

Coming closer to the end of the alphabetical ordered books, Lily stumbled upon a curious section within the 'W' part.

Werewolves, so many books on these creatures. It seemed odd that they would have so much on this one creature and not a lot on any other. Shrugging it off, Lily stepped forward to investigate the titles closer. They had obviously hadn't been used in any current time, if the layer of dust on them was any indication, but one in particular was so covered in dust, no student must have looked at it in years..

Picking it off of the shelf, Lily puffed her breath over the cover. As the dust began to move away from the book and onto the ground, Lily got a better read of the book's title.

The Wonders of Werewolves

It seemed different then the other library books Lily had seen on her short walk. It seemed so well read that the cover page was no longer solid, but flexible as a piece of cloth. Someone obviously had loved reading this book. Turning the book in her hand, Lily investigated the cover back to back. It did seem different. Maybe it was the lack of presence from the Library code that rested on every other surrounding book.

Opening to the first page, Lily let out a gasp. Right there in front of her very eyes read:

This book is the property of: Remus J. Lupin

This had been Moony's book. Why was it here? Why hadn't he taken it when he left after his last year here? Could he have lost it and may still be looking for it? Lily inspected the book even close than before.

Its yellow pages slipper past her thumb as she flicked through the book. Notes had been made in the margins in neat familiar hand writing. Still flicking through the book, Lily jumped slightly when the book stopped flipping and rested on a page. It wasn't the content of the page that made Lily jump, but the single photo pressed in between the seam that had.

Moving just like the painting by the moving stairs were five teenagers mucking around with each other. There right in the centre Lily thought for a moment that she was looking at Harry. They were so much alike it was uncanny. Beside this Harry clone was a girl with fiery red hair and Harry's bright green eyes. Was this his parents perhaps?

Sneaking up on the unsuspecting Harry clone was a boy with black scraggily hair and grey eyes. As he dunked a bucket of water over the Harry look alike's head, his mouth moved into a smiled laughter and he rolled onto the ground in fits. He fell at the feet of another teenage boy. Right away Lily knew who it was. It was the younger version of Remus, during his schooling years. He seemed not carefree but more carefree then he appeared today. He didn't have as much lines on his face but there was still that scar across his face in this photo as he did during the trip to Diagon Alley.

As she looked at Moony's body language, she noted he was slightly embarrassed, but perhaps that was the blush that had crept on his face when he glanced to his left. There biting her lip as she looked back at Remus, was a most beautiful woman she had seen. Her hair fell in brown curls past her shoulders, her cheeks were rosed with a blush as well, perhaps about being caught looking at Remus. Her eyes glistened with happiness, those bright aquamarine orbs. So close to being like Lily's but so much brighter. Who were these people?

Flipping over to the back of the picture she found that familiar calligraphy from her morning note down at the bottom.

The Marauders (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin), Lily Evans and Delilah Samuels.

There in Remus' own handwriting was her mother's name. Flipping it back over she looked at the girl that had those bright aquamarine eyes. This was her mother. Her mother..............Lily couldn't stop staring at the picture. There openly FLIRTING with her escort, was her mother.

"So much for not liking her aye Moony" she muttered to the teenage Moony who was still blushing.

A creaking door made Lily's breath hitch in her throat. A meow of a cat that followed had her heart pumping faster. "Is there someone in the Library, Mrs Norris?"

Mrs Norris? Lily had heard about that cat, she belonged to the caretaker, the scary man that prowled the corridors at night seeking out students who were out of bed. She so didn't need this right now. If she got caught out of bed just a few hours after the lunch incident, her life here at Hogwarts would most likely be over.

Snatching up the book and stuffing the photo back in the page. Lily put the book under her arm, turn and ran. She needed to get back to the passageway before she got caught. Sprinting as fast as she could, Lily could swear she could hear footsteps following hers, but she dared not look back to find out. Turning a final corner, Lily saw that passageway in front of her still open. Running into the secluded passage, Lily turned around and grabbed onto the wall. She had to get it closed before the caretaker Filch came round that very same corner. With a burst of strength Lily had the wall closed faster then she had it opened.

Finally letting her breath out Lily slid down the wall and onto the ground. Her heart still pumped a thousand times a minute. That would have to be one of the scariest things she had ever done. Even worse than the time she was in Harry's cupboard the time the Dursley's came back.

Hearing footsteps stop at the wall Lily held her breath. Filch was just on the other side of the wall. If he knew it existed and opened it right now she would be toast.

"I could have sworn i heard something this way my sweet" came the wheeze of Filch. At least he didn't know that Lily was just on the other side. Once she heard footsteps die off in the distance, Lily stood up. Breathing deep she decided she had had enough excitement for one day.

Walking back down the passage this time in the direction of the Common room, Lily once again came across the bat she had fell over earlier. The flame still flickered close to it, reflecting the owners name. Lily looked at it once again. She had seen that name other than on that bat.

Pulling the book out from under her arm, she flicked to the page that held the photo and flipped in to the back. It had the name Sirius Black on the page, spelt exactly like the name on the bat. So that black haired, grey eyed boy was the owner of this bat. Well that explained why she found it down here. Remus must have shown his friend the passageway.

Turning to continue walking Lily stared at the photo all the way. It wasn't until she ran into the back of a ruby red couch did she realise she was back at the common room. This photo and this book were definitely going into a letter she was going to write to Remus.

Lily stifled a yawn. But for now she was going to bed.

Slinking up the stairs and sneaking into her shared room, Lily sank into the blankets and let out a sigh of content. She was back in a comfortable bed, the silence of the room was welcoming as she didn't know what she would do if anyone else was still awake, after over hearing them earlier she didn't know what to say to any of them.

Whilst Lily lay under the covers she stared at the photo she held. This one photo had brought forward so many questions she needed to know the answer to. And if she was right about this Lily Evans being Harry's mother; because we already knew that this James Potter Character was his father, and she knew Harry's mum shared her name, then Harry would have some questions too. And it seemed that Remus just might hold the answer to probably all of them.

A.N Well Lily does seem to be getting into a lot of trouble already. And it appears that Remus might be getting a very long letter soon. Not to mention that detention is coming up and we will see Cedric again soon. And i think Lily may meet the twins soon and only god knows what will happen when Lily meets those two.

Well i hope you enjoyed it and keep your eye out, the sorting hat's warning may just be coming to play in the near future. Reviews much loved.
