AN: Well, I made it I finally have managed to get my second chapter out. I am sorry it took me awhile, but I have been very busy working on other stories, which haven't all been posted yet ;) I hope this make sense, I was trying to get it done in a hurry. During this entire chapter, Lily is unconscious. She is dreaming about what has happened over the last few weeks up 'til the boat incident that got her in the hospital wing. I hope that clears everything up! Thanks for having patience with me.

Ch. 2

As Lily lay under the warm covers of an unfamiliar bed, her dreams were filled with the events of the last few weeks. Everything had gone by so fast: the train ride, the boat ride, Diagon Alley, the visit from Dumbledore, and all the riddles.

The night Dumbledore had come to visit, he had said that they expected great things from her. Why should they? She was only a silly muggleborn. She didn't have an inkling about magic, and doubted she'd be any good at it anyways. Then, he had said something about mysterious past and prophecies. There was certainly nothing mysterious about her past. She had lived with her parents and sister for as long as she could remember and they were all normal, except her she supposed. And she had certainly heard nothing about any prophecies. What could he possibly mean?

Then, her mind drifted to the train ride. She had boarded the magnificent steam engine, to find that almost all the compartments were packed. She finally found one partially empty. Only one girl sat in it, she looked about Lily's age, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Lily asked her if she might sit there. The girl looked pleased to have some company and turned out to be quite nice (although perhaps a little insane). Her name was Elysa.

Just when, they had become engaged in a conversation, about the different houses, two boys entered followed by a girl. The boys were both tall with dark hair and brown eyes. And the girl had blonde hair that fell in waves with blue eyes. She was very pretty, but a bit on the short side.

Then, one of the boys spoke up, " You must be a muggle born, if you haven't heard of the different houses yet. I'd hate to be a muggle born. Things must be so confusing." He looked at me. Is he trying to make me stick out of the crowd or is it just a side effect? "Not for me." Lily said icily. What's her problem? James thought. "Well, good for you." He said rather sarcastically.

"Well my name is James Potter, and this is Sirius Black." Sirius Black bowed, grinning like a complete idiot. They completely ignored the girl, but she didn't seem bothered by it. She stepped in front of them, and said. "And since my dear cousin didn't bother to introduce me, my name is Agatha O' Shiltz. And you are?" Elysa introduced herself and Lily. Lily smiled at all of them, except the arrogant boy who had tried to make her seem inferior to the others.

After a while, they had their first encounter with one of the resident Slytherins, which assured Lily that she did NOT want to be in Slytherin. A small, shy boy seemed to be tagging along behind the ogres. One of the Slytherins, sneered down at Lily, who he was towering over. "Your a mudblood aren't you?" Lily tried her best to not let it show that she didn't understand. "Is there something that you wanted here?" She asked curtly. "Are you looking for trouble you stupid mudblood?" By this time James and Sirius had both gotten to their feet.

James got up in the ogre guy's face and spat out. "Do you want to say that again?" The guy was about twice James size and probably could have pancaked him. "And what would you do about it, if I did?!" The ogre guy swung a punch at James, who ducked. The ogre's fist rammed into one of the overhead compartments causing suitcases to come crashing down.

A boy with light brown hair and silver blue eyes walked in, just as the ogre was in mid swing of a punch and this time it wasn't likely he was going to miss. The boy had his wand up in seconds. "Freezarium Aquaticus!" The boy's arm was instantly turned to ice. He was so stunned that the group had time to use a body bind on him. They pushed him out of their compartment and placed a locking charm on it.

The newcomer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That was a close one, huh?" James gulped and nodded. "Thanks, that guy would have knocked my head off." "Who are you anyhow?" Asked Sirius, who had been standing by the compartment door's window, making faces at the ogre/goon. "Remus Lupin. And you are?" "The great Sirius Black, and this is my faithful sidekick James Potter. And that is his girl." He commented pointing at Lily, who looked furious.

She stood up. "I am NOT James Potter's girl! In fact, not only do I barely know him, but I already can tell I don't like him." She turned to James. "I can fight my own battles, thanks. Just because I am a muggleborn doesn't mean that I am inferior." She sat down in a bit of a huff.

James looked as though someone had spit on him. "Well whoever said that I liked you, either?! Next time I'll be sure to let you get your face kicked in! And I never even said you were inferior!" It was awhile before the group realized the little kid who had been following the ogres was still there. It turns out the kid was a coward, but defiantly not like the other guy. He decided to stay with them. His name was Peter Pettigrew. For the rest of the trip, Lily and James shot daggers at each other.

The boat ride to Hogwarts might have even been enjoyable, if she hadn't gotten landed in a boat with James Potter, Sirius Black, and Elysa (not that she had a problem with Elysa, but she wasn't utterly fond of the other occupants).

Sirius had found great entertainment in rocking the boat back and forth, and it was beginning to make her feel a bit sick. "Sirius, do you mind?" "Not at all." He said and continued to rock the boat. James smiled, and joined in.

Elysa was leaning down towards the water dragging her hand in the frigid water. Lily was definitely not feeling well. She felt dizzy. Then before they realized what was happening, Lily lost her balance, and fell into the freezing depths of the lake, almost capsizing the boat. ***

Hey that was kinda a cliffy :) Sorry…hehe! The bamboo monkeys will come for you if you don't review!
