Author's Note:
*~*~*~*~*
Hi! To answer many of your reviews… NO SEQUEL!!!!!!! (Boo-hoo, I'm sad) However, if any of you would like to write a sequel to my fic, you can e-mail me your idea, and I can "grant you permission" (I am currently laughing hysterically) to write it… That is, if any of you want to write a sequel.
On another note, I'm writing another L/J love/hate fic, Predictable. Much longer, more fluffy stuff, blah, blah, blah. It should be up by tomorrow, I hope.
I know a lot of you were confused, or possibly disappointed at how little L/J there was… what can I say? Here are a few explanations to a few confusing, loose ends:
Voices in Dumbledore's Head: (I'm putting all explanations in story form, as it's more interesting that way)
Scene in Dumbledore's office:
"But professor, I still don't understand some things."
"And what's that, Miss Evans?"
"When I was- when you had me read your mind… I heard voices-"
"I know," Dumbledore cut her off. "I expect that you were confused?"
"Yes, sir. Why weren't they just normal thoughts?"
He sighed deeply. "Miss Evans, have you ever read the book , Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?"
"Er… Yeah," Lily frowned. "What're you saying, sir?"
"Well, the basic concept of the book is correct, as everyone does have a good and bad, a light and dark, a yin and yang. It all balances out. Of course, you yourself can't hear it; it acts more as an impulse when it comes out. Seers, however, have the rare ability to hear those voices in the mind. I, however, was granted the ability to have them come out as voices that oppose each other on whatever I'm thinking. As they link to my thinking, you heard the voices."
"Oh. So could I hear my own voices?"
"No, I sincerely doubt it, Miss Evans."
*~*~*~*~*
James and Lily's Situation:
Scene at the Evans home during dinner.
"So, Lily, did anything exciting happen this school year?" Her aunt Rachel asked.
"Um… Not much," Lily shrugged.
"You didn't go to your own parents' funeral," Petunia pointed out to her sister. "I did. I watched them die, you freak. You were off at school."
"Shut up!"
"Lily… Petunia…"
"Sorry, Aunt Rachel," they both murmured.
"So, Lily, did you meet any nice boys?"
"Obviously not," Petunia said.
"Um…"
"Vernon gave me a bracelet," Petunia said, waving a gold chain under her nose.
"Fascinating," Lily replied shortly.
"Now, Petunia… So, Lily? Any boys?"
"Umm…"
A sudden screech of an owl and her sister cut off her answer.
"Monster! Monster!"
"It's an owl, Petunia," Lily rolled her eyes.
"Hmm… Addressed to you, Lily, from a Mr. James Potter," their aunt said, examining the envelope. "Who is he?"
"Um…"
"I'm hurt, Evans; You didn't mention me?" a voice said.
Petunia screamed, and Lily whirled around, to see James leaning in the doorframe of their kitchen.
"Uh… Aunt Rachel, this is James Potter, and-"
"I get it," James said. "Pleased to meet you, Rachel," James nodded.
"He- he appeared out of thin air!" Petunia said faintly.
"Potter!"
"I didn't apparate… I was there the whole time."
"How'd you get in? When?"
"After you," James shrugged.
"Didn't your mother explain that it's a felony to stalk people?"
"No."
"Ahem." They both turned to see her aunt rising from her seat at the table.
"Uh… right," James nodded. "Am I interrupting dinner?"
"You're welcome to join, dear. Are you Lily's boyfriend?"
"Uh… Evans, would you like to take that one?"
"Uh… You answer."
"Uh…"
"Jolly good to see the two of you!" Sirius' voice rang.
"What is this? Some sort of 'Scare-Lily-Out-of-Her-Wits' Day'?" Lily asked.
"I came on my new motorcycle," Sirius answered. "Oh, and Evelyn, Remus, Bella, and Peter'll be along soon."
"An eight hour reunion. How lovely," Lily said sarcastically.
"Seven hours and forty-nine minutes," James answered, checking his watch.
"I believe the two of you were in the middle of answering the all too important question of-"
"Shut up!" they both said.
"They look like a couple, they sound like a couple, they act like a couple! The answer is…" Sirius said in an announcer's voice.
"YES!!" Evelyn and Bella cheered, popping in.
"I know that was apparation!"
"We got my dad to bend the rules for us," Evelyn said.
"I have the weirdest friends," Lily muttered.
"And you're stuck with us," James grinned.
"You are in so much trouble when I'm able to hex you again," Lily muttered.
"Aw, you aren't gonna hurt Jamesiepoo, are you?" Sirius cooed.
Lily thrust a hand at Sirius, scorching his hair. "I can't help that I still have the advantages of being a Seer," she said sweetly.
"FREAKS!" Petunia shouted, before slamming her bedroom door.
"Sheesh," Sirius said. "I was thinking more along the lines of: REALLY COOL GUESTS!"
"And these are my friends," Lily sighed, nodding at her aunt.
*~*~*~*~*
Okay, that was screwed up. Oh well. Anyway, like I said, if you want to write a sequel to my story, send me an
e-mail with your ideas, and I'll tell you if you can (sound like a contest). And if not… You can still write the story, just don't call it the sequel to my fic. Boy, that sounds messed up, too.
Don't forget to read my new fic!
