Wunmiii, that's a nice idea. Actually, story number two is supposed to be Jolie, Lily and The Marauders in their summer vacation. But maybe, before their seventh year ends, I'll make that story number two instead. Oh yeah, and since it's your idea, do you mind giving me the names of the characters? So, James'll be Jemima, how about the other boys?

SnowStorm752, thanks for reviewing! :) Yes, there will be problems. But that still won't stop her. She's a very stubborn shape shifter. ;)


26. TO DIE FOR

Remus looked shocked but Jolie looked convinced. "Wait," Remus said, "Jo, you CAN'T go tonight—it's too dangerous!"

Jolie shook her head. "Remus, you know perfectly well I can take care of myself. I can control what I'll be doing."

Remus was so against it. "Of course you can, but how about me? I can't. I won't be able to control anything I do. Please, Jo. It's too dangerous. You mustn't come. I don't want you to get hurt."

James suddenly spoke. "Jolie, I think Moony's right. It's best if you don't go. Seeing as what you'll be when you're transformed—"

"It won't be as dangerous as you think!" Jolie insisted. "C'mon, guys. Please. Let me come."

The Marauders all looked at each other and shook their heads. "We're sorry, Jo," James said. "But we just can't let you do that."

"Ugh," Jolie grunted at them and stormed out of the Gryffindor Common Room. She was annoyed at the Marauders. I'm not a little girl! She thought to herself.

She bumped into someone else's shoulder, but didn't take notice and just continued to walk on.

"Hey, wait!" It was Severus.

"Sev!" Jolie was surprised. "I'm sorry, did I bump into you? I didn't mean to."

"No, it's okay. I totally understand," Severus said, putting an arm around her shoulders. He smiled at her. "How are you?"

Jolie sniggered and put her arm on his waist. "Fine, I guess. Remus and I are good now." She beamed at him.

Severus beamed back at her at laughed.

They walked down to the grounds, arms still around each other in a very friendly manner. Some students stopped and stared—it was an unusual thing to do for a Slytherin and a Gryffindor.

"Severus," Jolie said, breaking the silence, "I have something to ask you."

A crease formed between Snape's eyebrows. "What?"

"When I was... drunk—did I mention... anything?" Jolie said, a little nervous.

"What do you mean?"

"Did I mention anything that's... that's not supposed to be mentioned?"

Snape wasn't stupid. He knew what she meant. And he was also smart enough to know not to beat around the bush with Jolie. "Well... yes."

"What did I particularly say? About who was it?" Jolie asked with fearful eyes.

"About Lupin," Severus shrugged. "...and about yourself."

Jolie stared at him, urging him to go on. They were already at the grounds. Severus sat under a tree and gestured to Jolie to sit as well.

"You said," Severus started to explain, "that he was a werewolf. And you're a shapeshifter. You practically told me the entire story, you know. About why you guys fought, especially—I was a bit disturbed. And that's why I talked to James about locking you guys up in the Room of Requirement."

Jolie's jaw dropped. "You did WHAT?!"

Severus was speechless. He forgot that Jolie knew nothing about it.

"So you guys WERE bluffing! But thank you anwyay," Jolie laughed. Severus sighed in relief. "Nosy gits," she added.

Severus threw his head back and laughed. "Your friends will be very, very nosy gits if they need to, Jolie Daniels."

Jolie smiled. Severus had said 'Your friends'. She felt good about that. Severus Snape was HER friend.

Suddenly, she was snatched away from reality once more. Another premonition—

Snape was lying on his back, with a bloody neck. Out of the blue, a young boy who looked exactly like James, but with brilliant green eyes, suddenly appeared. He took off an invisibility cloak.

He stared at Snape, who looked older, and who was wearing black robes.

Suddenly, silvery substance started to leak out from him. A flask was conjured out of thin air and the young boy who so looked like James Potter put the silvery substance in it.

"Take... it... Take... it," Severus gasped for words. And then, he grabbed the front of the boy's shirt and pulled him closer. "Look...at...me..."

And then his hand thudded to the ground, lifeless. Severus was dead.

Jolie blinked rapidly, snapping back to reality. She looked at the younger looking Severus Snape beside him.

"Jolie?" Snape asked, frowning. "Are you okay?"

Jolie suddenly realized she had been crying. She wiped the tears off of her beautiful face.

"What is it?" Snape asked again.

Jolie shook her head, and gave Severus a tight hug, still crying. A lump rose in her throat. She had just seen how her friend would die.

Snape was tactful enough to not ask any more questions. And he just rubbed soothing circles on Jolie's back, comforting her. He sighed, still confused. He had seen Jolie stare into nothingness with a blank expression on her face, with thick tears leaking out of her eyes. He didn't understand what could've possibly happened to her.

"Jolie!" a girl's voice called out from a distance. Severus and Jolie turned their heads. It was Lily.

She ran up to them, taking no notice at all of Severus' presence. "I've been looking all over for you, Jo!" And then, she saw the tracks of tears left on Jolie's face. "Have you been crying? What's wrong? It's not because of the Marauders, is it?" Her eyes twitched to Severus for a moment.

"No, no," Jolie said, shaking her head. "It was something else."

Jolie looked up at the sky. Suddenly, she remembered the other vision she had of the 'older Lily'.

Jolie turned her head to the girl with red, fiery hair. "Lily," she said in a questioning tone, "do you know anyone who's called Harry?"

"Harry? No. Oh, wait—there's Harry Turnblad from Hufflepuff."

"No, no. Not him," Jolie then guessed that the Harry she saw was from a different generation, since Lily looked older in the vision.

"Harry," Lily said to herself. "I like that name. I think I'll name my first son that, if ever."

Jolie eyes went wide with realization. "Anyway," Lily said, "I'm going to the Great Hall. I NEED lunch. You coming?"

"No, I'll just catch up later."

"Okay," Lily said cheerfully before leaving.

"Who's Harry?" Severus asked.

"No one," Jolie said quickly. She had finally found out who Harry was: Lily's son.

Severus frowned. He knew she was hiding something.

"Sev," Jolie said, "I need to go to Professor Dumbledore... Can you take me there? I've forgotten the password."

"Sure, Jo," Severus said, standing up.

They walked back to the Hogwarts castle in silence. Jolie was remembering the two disturbing forewarnings she saw—both of them were about the future. And sure enough, both of them were about death. In fact, they were about the deaths of the people she loved.
