A/N: Oke doke I'm back on my computer yay!!! And I spent last night getting this chapter finished so I could post it today! But first off I wanna thank everyone that reviewed my story! So here goes:
Kaybanana ~ yay you read my first one too! Thanks for reviewing!
Andicarmen ~ Peter is here in this chapter! (and to everyone else sorry I totally forgot about him in the first story and I'm not leaving him out cuz I don't like him. I don't mind him too much until he goes bad!)
Damiani ~ first off neat name does it mean something? And second the Lily and James stuff will come later! Cuz they're only 12 and I don't really think they're gonna figure out they're destined to be together just yet! But watch for it eventually!
Lily_Dee ~ If you really want the story format I'll mail it to you cuz I have that version mostly written cuz of when I was deciding how to continue it! So just ask and you shall receive!
And to everyone else ~ yay! Thanks for reviewing!
Ok so that's my thanks section. Oh and a reviewer from my first story told me that my grammar was "wretched". Um the reason my grammar is bad is cuz this is a diary. In my diary I don't write perfectly so I figured a 12 year old Lily wouldn't either so I'm sorry but that's just the way I write! In this chapter they return to Hogwarts and we see Peter! Yay! Well read, enjoy and review!

Year Two
Chapter 2: September and October
September 1 wait no 2, 1972
Dear Diary,
I'm back. I feel like I'm at home again. How I do love this castle so! Trick stairs and all. This poor guy got stuck in one of them on the way up to Gryffindor tower after the feast today. James and Remus were right behind him though, and they pulled him out. The kid thanked them all they way up to the portrait hole; I think he said his name was Peter. He seems all right.
Well the train ride up here was a blast! We played Exploding Snap like the whole way. Well except for the 10 minutes the greasy git Snape was in our compartment. He made some terrible mudblood wise crack and I got so fed up with him that I slapped him and told him to get the hell away from me! James had jumped up too like he was about to do the same thing! It was totally nice of him even though I didn't need it! The feast was amazing of course; the cooks here are great! And now it's off to bed!
-Love-
P.S. The guys managed to get themselves detention today! The first day! It must be a record!
September 3, 1972
Dear Diary,
Classes started today. Had double Charms and DADA! What a way to start the morning! Or week for that matter, Slywarki! Oh joy!
-Love-
September 12, 1972
Dear Diary,
Quidditch trials are in 2 weeks. Brooke's finally convinced me to try out. I agreed only if she would with me. She's a pretty good beater and that's one of the spots open! Also a seeker and a chaser! I think James is gonna try out too! Wouldn't that be awesome if all 3 of us were on the team? Ahh! Happy thoughts! So this kid Peter Pettigrew, he's pretty cool, in a weird sorta way. He's a short little kid and he's not to bright but he's pretty nice and a good help with pranks! He seems to like to be around us more than around the other 1st years. They don't seem to like him too much.
And James Potter is still the same boy! His 1st girlfriend of the year is some Ravenclaw 3rd year! Maybe this year I'll just give you a number for him at the end of each term!
-Love-
September 20, 1972
Dear Diary,
Ok Remus left for the weekend last week. Said his cousin died. But he showed me family pictures when I was there and he doesn't HAVE any cousins! I was positive he's lying so I'm sitting down to figure this out. Hmm, he leaves every month. Usually for the weekend, but sometimes just for the night. There's no way he could get home and back in 1 night! Just no way! And he always comes back looking like hi didn't sleep all night. Maybe he doesn't sleep. Wait! Hold on! . . . Okay I just checked my diary from last year (don't ask why I have it with me I don't know!), and look February 23, 1972 Remus is gone again . . . There's a full moon tonight! Spooky! I think Remus might be a werewolf! It's crazy but I mean, he leaves every month on the full moon! It makes sense, the poor thing! Oh how terrible that's gotta be for him! I need to talk to him!
-Love-
September 21, 1972
Dear Diary,
I hate Slywarki! ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I wrote a note to Remus today in class and told him I needed to talk to him and for him to meet me in the common room at 9:30. Slywarki saw me give him the note and took it. He "read" it to the class! He made up all this shit about how I "loved him and needed him" that wasn't even in the note! And now I've got detention with him and won't be able to talk to Remus tonight! GRRRRRR!!
-Love-
September 22, 1972
Dear Diary,
I finally got to talk to Remus today. I was right! Let me explain. I found him at breakfast this morning and asked if he wanted to take a walk around the lake with me. He agreed and this was basically how our conversation went:
Me: I need to talk to you.
Him: What about Red? (They've all picked up on that nickname now)
Me: You.
Him: What about me?
Me: About why you leave every month.
Him: I told you my cousin died.
Me: Remus don't lie to me. You don't have any cousins.
Him: Ok so you got me.
Me: Is there anything you wanna tell me?
Him: No.
Me: Are you sure, cuz I wouldn't tell anyone else.
Him: You wouldn't want to know.
Me: I think I already do.
Him: What, how?
Me: There's always a full moon when you leave.
Him: You noticed that huh?
Me: Not right away. At first I just thought it was weird that you left on school nights and stuff, but then I just figured that your mum must be really sick. But then I say her this summer and she was perfectly healthy.
Him: Yeah that was kinda a give away! I'm surprised you're the only one who's figured this out. I'm not a very good liar. So how long have you known?
Me: About 2 days!
Him: Ok well, please don't tell anyone else that I'm a werewolf! Ugh I even hate saying it. It sounds so terrible.
Me: I won't tell them but they're gonna figure it out eventually!
Him: I know, I just don't want them to desert me!
Me: (Giving him a big hug) Oh Remus, they wouldn't do that. I won't do that! They're your friends, James, Peter, and Sirius will understand that it wasn't your fault!
Him: Thanks Red.
I know everyone else is gonna figure it out soon. He can't have his whole family die! I just hope no one freaks on him!
-Love-
September 30, 1972
Dear Diary,
Brooke's birthday is next week! I dunno what to get her. Usually I consult with her when buying gifts. I'll have to talk to Meg about it. I'm terrible at getting people stuff! Oh crap! Quidditch trials start in 15 minutes. Bye!
-Love-
Later on September 30, 1972
Dear Diary,
Ok I choked. I sucked. I couldn't even catch the Snitch once. The team must have thought I was a joke! It was terribly embarrassing! Some 6th year got the spot! Brooke did great though it seems the team had already promised the spot to a 5th year or something! It was so terrible! But James got the Chaser spot! It was awesome. He's so-------o! I couldn't believe it. The team was blown away and they instantly gave him the spot! I can't believe I let Brooke talk me into that! It was so embarrassing! ARGGGGH! I can't get over how mad I was!
-Love-
October 5, 1972
Dear Diary,
Brooke's birthday is today. She's all happy and giddy walking around like she's queen. It's pissing Meg off she's up here in our dorm venting to Farah. I think Brooke's being kinda funny actually. But it is kinda nice to have her gone for a bit. The guys took her out. I'm not really sure where they went but oh well.
James started quidditch practice and it's all he talks about. He's really starting to drive me insane. I mean could he rub it in my face that I didn't make it any more? He can be so arrogant sometimes. And he's flying through girls once again! ARGGGH! Okay, done venting. Oh Brooke's back. She looks like she's been running around outside all day. And she just dumped some stuff on her bed form under her robes. Wait, they're shopping bags, I've gotta here this. Okay the guys took her to Hogsmeade (a town nearby) through a secret passage of something. Sounds like fun. Ooh she's gonna show me all the stuff she got!
-Love-
October 12, 1972
Dear Diary,
Nothing exciting has really happened here. Here being the key word. Everywhere else seems to be having problems. That Voldemort guy is messing up so many people's lives. He's even killing muggles. No one seems to know why; maybe he just likes killing people. I dunno, I just know that he's really starting to scare people, they don't even wanna say his name, which in itself is scary. Voldemort. It just wounds like an evil name. All this stuff is starting to scare me. I dunno why. I don't think he'll kill my family cuz they're all muggles and not connected to our world except through me and I'm nobody special. I'm just a 12-year-old girl. And anyways I don't think he'll attack here, Dumbledore wouldn't let him. I hope.
-Love-
October 18, 1972
Dear Diary,
Tonight's the full moon. Remus has to transform, actually he probably is already a wolf. That's kinda weird. Remus is so quiet and smart and gentle. I find it hard to believe that right now he's roaming around as a full-fledged monster. Scary. Oh well, I like him anyway. And I hope he tells Sirius, Peter, and James soon cuz, they're his best friends and I think it'll be better if he doesn't have to lie to them. It's his decision though.
-Love-
October 20, 1972
Dear Diary,
They all know. James figured it out and clued the rest of us in. I feigned being surprised so no one would know that I knew. But somehow I wasn't surprised enough for James. He cornered me later and was like "You knew." I don't know how he could tell, he said it was in my eyes. He could tell I was lying just by looking at me, not even my mother can do that! I can't figure out how he can. Oh well, they asked Remus about it and the first thing he did was look at me but I could see on his face that he knew I hadn't told. So he admitted it and he almost broke down when everyone assured him they weren't gonna ditch him. Me, Brooke, and Meg just gave him a big hug as he sat barely holding back his tears. You could just see the happiness and relief on his face.
I just got done talking to him like 10 minutes ago. He told me how relieved he was. Sirius had promised they'd find a way to help him (though I'm not really sure they can!). He said he felt like a weight had been lifted off of him since he doesn't have to lie and try to keep it form us. One thing I noticed was that his eyes were a yellowish brown yesterday and today, usually they're blue. I figure that's an after effect of the transformation. That was kinda creepy.
-Love-
October 27, 1972
Dear Diary,
Yay! Halloween is in 4 days! Me and the girls are going trick-or-treating again and we're trying to come up with good costumes. The guys all have detention that night (they dragged Peter down with them) so we can't scare them again. Poo! But the girls better be expecting us this year. I'm looking for a better candy outcome this year. Last year was pitiful, but then again I don't think anyone was expecting us. Oh well! It's gonna be a blast! Yay! 4 days!
-Love-
October 31, 1972
Dear Diary,
What a gorgeous evening. The feast tonight was just amazing. The Hall had like 11 or 12 huge pumpkins carved into jack-o-laterns. Like seriously they were huge, 3 meters tall by 2 ½ meters wide, would be my guess! And there was thousands and thousands of live bats around the ceiling (which was a clear velvety black sprinkled with stars). It was gorgeous.
So we basically just got back from trick-or-treating! It was so fun. We made a potion earlier that made our skin turn colors and we charmed our hair and robes to match our skin. They alternated the colors of the rainbow. So that's what we went as, rainbows! I think we scared the shit out of the 1st year girls, everyone else remembered us from last year and loved it! So we actually did get a lot more candy. And now we're waiting to ambush the guys when they come back. We're gonna charm their hair and robes and force feed them what's left of the potion then make them go trick-or-treating too! Wish us luck!
-Love-
A/N: okay sorry the conversation with Remus is like that but it's just like the situation with the truth or dare game I just wanted to put the whole thing in! So far that's the last one of those but I am planning on them playing truth or dare a lot more so if you guys don't mind it in that form I'll put the other games like that too! It's fun to do! And now they all know! Oooooh! The big secret's out! How will things progress from here? Find out next time in From the Diary of Lily Marie Evans Year Two Chapter 3! Sorry got a bit carried away there! As always please click in the little box below and write a review! They make me feel special! Tanky-'oo!!
