Secret Santa
December 17th
Lily looked out the window in the library and thought about yesterday when they had picked who would give who what gifts for the secret santa.
She knew who all the girl's would be getting gifts for. Jen would be getting a gift for Sirius, Lauren would get a gift for Remus, Vanessa would be getting a gift for Peter and she would be getting one for James. Something strange had happened when she put her hand in. When she took her hand out and opened her eyes everyone started saying the bowl kept changing colors. From brown to green, to red to red green then back to brown.
From that moment on Lily wanted to know why. She asked some of her teachers, looked in all her school books and ended up finding nothing, in the library.
Lily sighed and decided to give up for the day. She headed back to the common room, no one was there at the moment. 'But there should be some people here...' Lily thought looking around.
She went up to her dormitory. No one was there. Lily decided it was dinner time so she went down stairs. Suddenly felt tired so she decided to take a nap, she sat on one of the couches. She started having strange dreams, she saw Remus turning into a...werewolf it looked so painful! She saw James, Sirius, and Peter turn into a stag, dog, and rat. They went with Remus at first Remus was growling and mean, then he started playing with them. Then she walked towards them in her dream. The stag, dog, and rat looked frightened that she was there but she wasn't scared.
The werewolf, presumedly Remus went up to her growling. She just looked at him and smiled. She put her hand out. Remus growled and lept at her.
Lily woke up shaking. 'Woah...' she thought, 'I wonder if that was real'
She looked up and saw Jen, James, Sirius, and Peter looking at her strangely.
"Lily? Are you alright? You were shaking and making strange noises.." Jen said.
"What? Ya I'm alright I came in after looking in the library for a while and I felt tired so I took a nap." Lily answered.
Jen and the boys looked at each other with worried glances.
"I'm fine!" Lily yelled.
"OKay okay Lils don't blow the whole common room up..." James said.
"Shut up James!....Anyways did I miss dinner or something?"
"Ya that and about 3 classes..." Sirius said.
"Oh....crap...."
"Yup well we should be checking up on Remus now he's very sick right now...come on Prongs, Wormtail." Sirius said while winking to his friends.
Lily looked at them suspiciously.
"Well then I want to go too." Lily said smiling. 'I'm gonna find out what they're up to' Lily thought slyly.
Sirius looked at Lily and said sadly,
"No Lil not this time....anyways after we check on him...we're gonna...um...you know play a trick for tommorow....so..."
"You guys are so up to something bad...and I'm not getting in trouble neither are you Lily...so come on let's go to bed." Jen said rolling her eyes.
Lily looked at the boys then turned around and went up to the girls dormitory.
"Why is she so mad?" asked James.
"I have no idea.." Jen said curiously, "you guys go...I'll find out...she'll be fine...I hope so at least.."
"Okay...oh and there's a Hogsmeade weekend in a couple days so we can all go and look for gifts." James said.
"Alright goodnight you guys." Jen said heading into the girls' dorm. She didn't see that after she left James went upstairs and came down with a invisabilty cloak. He put it on him, Sirius, and Peter, then they left, not making a sound.
Meanwhile upstairs in the Girl's dormitory....
"Jen they're up to something!!! And I wanna find out!" Lily said madly.
"Calm down Lil!!! They've done this every month I've known them...they just do some harmless but funny prank....don't worry about it."
Lily looked at her friend and decided to just not talk to Jen anymore. She lied down and pretended to be asleep.
"Lil?...are you asleep?" Jen asked a few minutes later. Then she sighed, "ok goodnight then...if your awake."
Lily waiting, around an hour before she was sure Jen and the rest of the girls in the dorm were fast asleep. Then she carefully got up, and put on a jacket. She went out of the dorm and into the common room. She was scared, she probably should have prepared better this was gonna be hard sneaking out without getting in trouble.
She went out of the common room and looked out no one seemed to be up. She went down the halls wondering where the guys had really gone. She took a little peek into the Hospital Wing, no one was there. 'I knew it...' Lily thought, 'they're stupider then i thought.'
Lily decided to go outside, but when she got to the door to go outside she got really scared.
'What if the same thing happens...that happened in my dream...except worse?'
Lily took a breathe in and out then opened the door a crack and looked outside. No one was there. She opened the door more and walked out. Then closed the door slowly to not make any sounds.
She looked around and heard a noise. It was over near the Whomping Willow, it had been planted in her 1st year. No one was aloud near it unless you wanted to get hurt. Lily hurried towards the willow. She hid in a bush near the willow and looked out. A stag, and dog were standing near the willow waiting for something. Then she saw a little rat go to one of the roots and press it. The willow stopped. The dog stag and rat went into a hole in the building and dissapeared. Lily ran and quickly went into the hole. She looked out, a squirrel passed the willow then BAM!! The willow started whomping again. The squirrel looked around scared and ran out quickly. Lily gulped, she was stuck there until she figured out how to stop the willow again.
She decided to just go further into the hole. She went through the long tunnel looking for any sign of the stag, rat, or dog she had seen a few minutes ago.
She heard something coming towards where she was standing. She looked around and found an old couch, she hid behind it quickly then moved the couch towards the corner so no one would see her. She heard galloping and squeaking coming closer. Then it stopped right near the couch. She heard nothing for a few seconds then 'pop' 'pop' 'pop'
"James where is Remus? He didn't run away did he?" Lily heard Sirius' voice say.
"No I don't think so...he must be somewhere though...he might have gone upstairs today...we didn't look there yet." James' voice said.
"Do you want me to look?" asked Peter's voice.
"Ya that would be good." said James.
"Okay" Peter said, then 'pop'
Lily looked from the side of the couch and could see James and Sirius watching a rat go into the shadows. Then James took a paper out and said "I solemnly swear I am up to no good"
"James no one's gonna be up looking for us..." Sirius said quietly.
James looked at the paper and his eyes widened and looked straight into Lily's eyes. He swore and went towards the couch. He pushed it away from Lily and looked at her evilly.
"LILY!! We told you not to try and find us...did you know that you could be killed?" James yelled.
"Lily found us?" Sirius asked laughing a little.
Lily ignored Sirius and stood up.
"Well James...if you just had told the truth maybe I wouldn't have been so curious!"
"Ya...well do you really wanna die from a killer werewolf? Because if we weren't here you might be dead!" he sighed, "Do you know everything about us and Remus? He didn't want to tell you girls he was afriad that you wouldn't talk to him although he felt the same way before we found out...how did you find out?"
"Well...i had a dream about you guys...i saw Remus and he was a werewolf..and then i saw you, sirius and Peter turning into animals. I was walking towards Remus you 3 looked scared that i was coming. I didn't feel scared. I went to Remus and put my hand out. He jumped at me. Then i woke up...that was just a few hours ago."
Sirius and James looked at each other when Peter came running in and said,
"Guys come on!!! Remus' throwing....ooh...no!! What the hell is she doing here?!?...James...Sirius?"
"We don't know either Peter..." Sirius said, "look James why don't you go and bring her back to the dorm then come back..."
"I want answers though!" Lily said annoyed.
"LILY!!" The 3 boys yelled and James picked her up and brought her down to the hole leading out to the Whomping Willow.
"WAIT here Lily." James said and put on a cloak and dissapeared. The willow stopped moving and Lily heard something say 'GO now Lily'
Lily ran out of the hole and went towards the front door of Hogwarts.
"Lily!!! Lily! LILY!! WAIT!!" James yelled.
Lily looked around and saw James running to catch up with her.
"Lily..! What's your problem?" James asked when he caught up with her.
"You and your little friends over there are the problem!! I understand what Remus goes through..."
"Ya? And how would you know?"
Lily didn't say anything for awhile then when they got in front of the gryffindor commonroom she turned to James and said,
"Maybe there's things about me no one knows...about...goodnight James." Then She said the password, 'ruby's gold' and went into the common room without another word.
A/N-well that was the 2nd chapt. I hope all of you like it I'll try to post the next chapter by wednesday!
