A/n: Hey everybody. Sorry about last night's chpt, and the way I acted last night. I had one of my homesick moments. Long story. And no I'm not at camp or anything like that. Anyway this is going to b a long chapter ok so don't worry be happy.

Tiger Lily
Chapter 3
Long Time Forgotten


"I was that tiger," Lily said a bit slower.
"Ok, but you seem a little young to be an animagus," Harry said.
"Oh no, I'm not an animagus. It's a long story" she said it with a tone that said push anymore and you wont like it. Ron didn't seem to catch this.
"We've got time," Ron said. Harry elbowed him in the ribs.
"Damn, Harry what was that for?" Ron asked in agony (I love that word!).
"Its ok. Well it was a curse Voldemort used on me. I don't know what it was but it messed up and gave me this" she pointed to her back where her tattoo-looking tiger was. "It gave me power. The power to turn into a tiger and other powers. Some of the powers I'm still not sure of yet. That's when my dad, as you know him he's Hagrid, sent me to America. Voldemort was very mad at our family. We still kept in touch but I missed him so much. I mean I was only 6 months old when he came. The reason I had to leave was he was after me. I have an idea but I can't say."
Soon Hermione came over. She seemed the only one not to have panicked out of the four.
"Why is everyone so quiet?" asked Hermione.
"Well let me think. Hmm. BECAUSE WE SAW THE DARK MARK," said Lily sarcastically. Harry had to laugh at her sarcasm.
"O my god! Are all of you ok?" Hermione asked.
"Yup, happy as a jay bird" Lily said.
"Ok, you didn't… you know…did you?" Hermione asked very careful about her words.
"Its alright Hermione. I've told them already."
"Ok. So you guys know about her now?" Hermione asked Harry and Ron
"Yes," said Ron.
" Well… is Voldemort still here?" Hermione asked scared.
"Yea. He's gone for awhile. I don't think he's gonna come back anytime soon." Lily said with venom dripping with every word she said. Harry shivered. Then he thought, she may look like a flower but she has her thorns.
Later, they were getting ready to go to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies. The bad thing is that they had to go by floo powder. As all of you know, Harry hates traveling by floo powder.
"Ready to go everybody?" Mrs. Weasley asked the group before they left. There was a yup from Lily and 3 yes's from the twins and Ginny.

Once there they all went separate ways. Ginny had been saving her allowance to buy a new pair of dress robes. The twins went off doing "business." And the four went on there own trip.
First they stopped at the ice cream shop for a quick snack. Ron bought Hermione hers, and Harry bought Lily hers because she hadn't stopped by gringots. It was oblivious to them, but Ron and Hermione thought they were flirting though they said nothing. After they stopped by gringots, they got all of there stuff and headed home.
That night Harry couldn't stop thinking of Lily. He didn't know weather this was a good thing or a bad thing. He only had one crush and that was on Chow Chang. Then a thought wowed (and yes that is a word) him. Did he even like Chow anymore? Yes, he decided. Of course.
In the other room Hermione and Lily were talking about stuff. Girl stuff that is.
"So…" dragged Hermione.
"So… what?" asked Lily.
"What do you think of Harry?" she asked mischievously.
"I don't know what to think of him, YET, Hermione, I just met him today."
"OOOOKK.' With that response a pillow was thrown at Hermione.
"MWHAHAHA" Lily made a fake evil laugh. Which was followed by many more pillows hits.

~*~Many Owls Later~*~



Mrs. Weasley drove them all to Kings Cross-Station. They all said good bye to Mrs. Weasley and headed toward the train.
"WOW!" exclaimed Lily when she saw the train, "this…this…this is awesome!' Harry and the gang laughed at her astonishment and headed down to the room. (I don't know what there called I was to lazy to pick up my book so BUG OFF) Once in there they put their stuff away and sat down.
"So… any of y'all know how to play speed?" Lily said as she got her cards out.
"What's that? Some sort of card game?" Ron asked
"Yuppies, and the name says it all," Lily replied. She was shuffling the deck.
"No, not really, I mean I think I've heard of it" Harry said scratching his head.
"Well, I have no clue how," Ron said.
"Hermione, shall we?" Lily said slyly.
"Indeed we shall," Hermione replied in the same tone of voice. Soon they started moving their hands quickly and the guys soon caught on and they all played until the compartment door opened and there stood Draco and his cronies.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here. If it isn't Potty, Weasel, and Mudblood," he drawled. Then he caught sight of Lily and put on his charm.
"Now who is this bright rose of the garden?" he asked with charm.
"First of all if your gonna flirt with me your going all wrong. Second of all I'm not a rose I'm Lily. Third have you ever considered knocking?" Lily replied not taking her eyes off her book. Then she stood up and knocked the cards on to the floor and she bent down to pick them up with out taking her eyes onto Malfoy. Malfoy went behind her and grabbed her behind. (I can't think of anything else) Harry about to launch at him, was surprised at what Lily did. She turned around wrapped her legs around his head and turned them knocking him all the way flat on his back then she pinned him down to the ground.
"I would suggest you don't do that again… Vadica" Lily said fiercely. She got off of him and went back to picking up as if nothing happened.
"You little whore. No one gets the better of a Malfoy." He croaked.
"Well it looks like I just did doesn't it. O yea I'm not a whore as u so kindly put it. I just no how to kick how to kick sorry little ass holeilic guys who are desperate and cant get a girl if his life depended on it" she said matter-of-factly. Harry couldn't help it he started laughing so hard he fell. Ron and Hermione followed the same suit.
Darco, now a deep red something they have never seen, left the room. The guys were still laughing. Soon afterward the witch with the goodies came and Harry bought some stuff for everybody. Later they heard the captain that it was about time to change. Lily had put on her robes along time ago. So the 3 went off to put on theirs. When they came back Hermione sat with Ron and they started snogging.
"O GUYS!" Harry and Lily exclaimed.
"Must you?" Lily asked.
"Yes, my dear Lily, we must." Ron answered then went back to what he was doing. Lily then went up to Harry and mouthed 'follow me' and went to another compartment. He followed. She sat. He sat. (Interesting thing isn't it)
"So, while our nice and generous friends are "getting to know each other" how about we do the same except not that way." Lily said after she sat down.
"Um… ok… so what do you want to know about me?" Harry asked.
"Alright then. I no your name and everything, what do I need to know about you?"
"Well, I love quittage and I play seeker for the team"
"O AWESOME! I LOVE quittage!" she said and they started talking about strategies and learning more about each other. Soon it was like they new each other for a long time. After a while Lily fell asleep. Harry was just thinking over about what he felt about Lily, when he felt something in his lap. When he looked down he saw Lily's head in his lap asleep and smiling. He too smiled. 'Maybe I don't like Cho.' Then Lily curled up into a little ball. ' I take that back. I definitely like Lily much more'.' Harry thought. Then with out knowing what he was doing, he kissed her head and he also fell asleep.
Before they knew it, the train was slowing down. Harry was the first of the two to wake up.
"Wake up, sleepy head," he said to her in her ear. She woke up, reluctantly, and looked up and smiled.
"Must I?"
"Yup, because were there and also I think I lost feeling in my legs" he replied.
" Oh… sorry" she said and blushed.
"It's ok. Um… Lily… would you… um…." Harry said struggling to find the words.
"Yes?" she asked not sarcastically.
"Wouldyougooutwithme?" he asked hoping she caught that. Apparently she did because she was now hugging him.
"Ok" she said as she got up.
"Shall we go wake up our dear pals and tell them?" she asked making him laugh as she offered her arm to him.
"Yes, I think we shall." He answered taking her arm and leading her out the door.
