Chapter 2-The Time is Right
Lily sat on her bed that night after everyone had left scanning the notebook. It was a leather bound book, with red and gold printing. Lily wondered to herself what she was getting into. Knowing her soul mate, the person who was right for her in all ways, and not knowing who it was.
She opened the cover and read the instructions, which she could have sworn weren't there when she had upwrapped her present. They read:
The Time is Write
Never under all circumstances give your true name. This could ruin the balance of the circle of life. Only write when these rules are visible, and only then can your writing be read. In order for these rules to be visible, both you and your partner must have the cover open. You can leave messages up to two pages long when your partner is not on Don't worry about having your friends read your notebook behind your back, the writing of both you and your partner are invisible to them.~*~
For about the fifth time that night, James was staring at the clock with the notebook open on his lap, in front of the fire. The only thing he saw in his notebook at all, was a time and date. Friday, July 17, 1977 11:55 pm.
Currently, it was Friday, July 17, 1977 11:54 pm. James was growing restless, he wanted to see what was going to happen! He was about to slam the book shut when a set of whatever looked like rules popped up. Being excited, he skipped the rules and was trying to figure out something to say.
'Hello?'
James sat there for a while waiting for a response.
~*~
Lily sat there awestruck when words appeared letter by letter across the first page.
'Hello?' it read. She stood off her bed and ran around her room trying to find a quill to respond but no luck. She was racking her brain for thoughts of what to do, when the most absurd answer came to her mind, Bella. She ran back to her bed, grabbed the notebook, remembered the spell she learned a week ago and apparated to The Leaky Cauldron.
Bella was sitting at the counter talking to Sirius Black, looking happy in fact. Lily rushed to her.
"Bella Bella Bella Bella!! Do you have a quill?!" she said as she squeezed between her and Sirius.
"Yeah, let me dig in my bag," she started digging around then suddenly stopped. "Wait, you came all the way here for a quill?"
"YES! Now keep digging please!"
"Okay, okay. What's the rush?"
"I just opened this book thing you got me and he said hello and I couldn't find a quill!" she said franticly.
"That really sucks, I can't find one. Sirius do you have a quill on you?"
"Sirius? Oh I forgot you were here!" said Lily turning to him.
"I don't have a quill, but I have a wand,"
"Well what good will that do us she needs a quill," said Bella.
"My dear Bella, you don't think we took six years of transfiguration to not be able to have a quill now do you?"
"Oh, yeah that's right I'm a witch, though I was never good at transfiguation!" In the next fifteen seconds, many things happened. First, James Potter tapped Lily on the shoulder and handed her a pencil. Making Lily knock over Bella into Sirius, who not just met, but met at the lips and started a full out snog session. Doing so, knocked Lily's notebook onto the ground, open, or the world to see the first page. James could not only read the first page but read it, picked it up and handed it to Lily. Besides his supreme knowledge(hehehe..yeah right)about the notebooks he had not read the rules and did not know what reading them would have meant to the out come of this story.
"Sorry," said James, returning to his comfy chair by the fire. Lily followed, sat down in a different chair and scribbled.
'ahh! Sorry it took so long but I couldn't find a quill.'
'that's alright, I lended a helping hand while I was waiting.'
'so, what do we talk about?'
'I dunno, we should probably get to know each other.'
'okay, you start'
'no that's okay you can go first.'
'kay, if you're sure,'
'go ahead.'
'alright well, lets see, what do you want to know about me?'
'you know, the usual, age, school stuff like that, you know if you're a death eater or something.' Out of the corner of Lily's eye, she saw James smile, read what her, secret man had wrote and laughed out loud.
"Something funny?" asked James smiling at Lily.
"Yeah," she chuckled. "I got one of those notebook things that let you talk to your soul mate you know. Well I'm telling this dude what I'm like and he asked me something that I am the total opposite of. So funny,"
"Sounds cool, actually, I'm writing in the one and only also, this thing fell on my head in Flourish and Blotts aso I had to get it,"
"Sounds interesting,"
"Yeah, not really though, said James and Lily started writing again.
'No, I don't think I could be a death eater if I tried my hardest. I'm a muggle born. I'm 17 and am going into my seventh and last year at Hogwarts in England.'
'whoa, we have a lot in common! I'm also 17, going into my seventh year at Hogwarts also.'
'that's cool! So we should probably know each other, but we probably shouldn't tell which house we are in yet, just in case.'
'yeah probably. Look I need to go, its really late, shall we talk again later, I wonder if you can leave messages or something in these.'
'yeah im sure you can, talk to you later'
'see ya'
Lily and James shut their books and stood up at the same time. Turning to see that Sirius and Bella were still snoging, they said their good byes and apparated home.
