A/N: Unfortunately we have some VERY bad news. This story is only going to be continued by one of us, seeing as the other can't fit it into her massively hectic schedule. However, I, who can continue writing, still have to worry about tests and homework and I find almost NO time to get any writing in. I'm trying to do it because i hate letting all of you readers down, but the things is, its likely that I'll will only be able to update every holidays and I'm really sorry about that.

I can't thank all of you enough, for reviewing and adding this story to alert. I had the hard descision of deciding whether to abandon this story or continue it, (I've chosen to continue it) but i hope that you can all be patient and not hate me too much for not updating much. Again, i'm really sorry, but i hope you enjoy this chapter!


Professor McGonagall hurried down the hallway, stopping in front of a gargoyle, she hastily muttered, "Barley sugar," before rushing up the stairs and entering Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Albus!" She cried dropping into one of the free arm chairs.

"What can I do for you Minerva?" He asked, turning around to face her with his signature twinkle in the eyes.

"It's James Potter and Lily Evans!"

"And what about them?" Dumbledore asked knowingly.

"According to rumours, they refuse to speak or even see each other! How can we have a Head Boy and Girl that refuse to see each other?" McGonagall had stood up and was now pacing the floor, and gradually wearing away the carpet.

"Don't worry, it will all work out soon enough, Minerva." Dumbledore replied.

"But how can you know, Albus? How can you be sure that Gryffindor House won't split in two? That the school will split in two? How do you know, Albus?!" McGonagall had stopped pacing, and stood with her hands on her hips, panicking and almost shouting.

"Tell me, Minerva, what do you see when you look at those two? Anger, Friendship or… Love? I'm certain they will make it tough this, it's only a matter of time. Those two will do good things in the future." McGonagall slowly sunk back into her chair.

"I guess you're right, well I hopeyou're right. I won't lie; those two are two of my best students… This just, needs to be resolved, my classes are far too quiet now." Albus chuckled and the two started talking about other unimportant things.


Lily opened her eyes. Rolling over and looking outside to try to determine the time, she paused for a second, to marvel at the beauty of the full moon, just hanging gracefully in the sky. She wasn't sure what had woke her up, seeing as it was just after midnight, but figured it had to be some loud sound or something. She was about to forget about it and move away from the window when something caught her eye. Three small figures were running around on the grass near the lake. Lily couldn't seem to see whether they were students or not, so she figured she might as well investigate.

Changing out of her pyjamas and into some normal, warm, dark clothes, she slipped on her sneakers, crossed the room and slipped out the door.

Opening the front doors of the school she was assaulted by the cool breeze from outside, slipping outside she kept to the walls seeing as it was still very dark and made her way to the lake.

Lily had been walking for 5 minutes and had spotted nothing out of the usual when she heard something behind her, spinning around slowly she came face to face with… a poised and ready to strike… werewolf?


Lily wasn't one of those girls that seemed to scream a lot when she was frightened, she would scream when she was angry, but she preferred to not attract attention to herself when she was frightened. The wolf started moving forward, and with every step the werewolf took, she took one backwards.

And then, the worst thing possible happened. She hit the wall. Lily could no longer step backwards and the werewolf just kept coming.


Sometimes in life, you can do impossible things, times when you're angry or scared or just feeling a very strong emotion. Adrenaline was the thing that made you do impossible things. And at that moment, Lily did something she new she never would have normally been able to do. She jumped.

Not a small jump, but a jump that had her just managing to grab a lantern holder and swing her legs up just as the werewolf jumped. It hit the wall and the entire castle seemed to tremble. The werewolf looked up at her, its eyes glinting, and Lily thanked whatever Architect had designed the castle for having such big lanterns. She swung until she was standing on the thin metal holder and as the werewolf got ready to strike again, she jumped once more, reaching the lantern holder a metre above her. Swinging onto it just as the werewolf snapped his jaws were her legs had been.

Lily sat panting on top of the wall. "A werewolf? In Hogwarts?!" She needed some time to calm down, and for now, she wasn't going anywhere. Where could it have come from? Surely Dumbledore would have put somesort of protection near the school. Then again, there had always been rumours about werewolves in the forbidden forest; she'd just never thought about it that much. Lily was pondering exactly how to get down from the wall when the werewolf struck again. Deciding that she was now in absolute serious danger, she opened her mouth and screamed.


Out by the lake, a stag was lapping up the water. Upon hearing the scream it paused and cocked its head to the side. A few seconds later the stag tensed and it abandoned its task and raced towards the castle.


The werewolf didn't seem to be stopping its attack any time soon and just as Lily began to lose hope, out of nowhere came two animals, a dog and a stag. Both hit the werewolf and began biting, scratching and kicking it, before dragging it away from Lily. In less than a minute the trio had disappeared, with a small rat like creature running after them.

The silence that then descended chilled Lily. As she looked down she realised something terrible. There was no way for her to get back down again. Whilst adrenaline had helped her up the wall, she was practically running on empty now. Leaning forward again to see the drop something even worse happened, the lantern broke off the wall. Before Lily had time to fully comprehend what had happened, she was falling towards the ground with nothing to stop her. As her body impacted, all Lily saw and felt was a wave of darkness washing over her.
