Chapter 4 "A secret"
Lily Evans followed James Potter down the staircase of the North tower. They walked in silence, the torches' gleams guiding their way, chasing away the darkness of the sudden evening.
James had his mind on other things than that he was actually walking with Lily, his thoughts dwelled to what Peter had said a few minutes earlier. He swallowed hard, the idea of at least one of the Professors suspecting one of them doing such an illegal thing as becoming an unregistered Animagus gave him the chills.
"If we only could have been more carefully", he thought, as they entered a new corridor when walking past the Great Hall. "Next time we'll have to make a plan so that no one will suspect when something is missing…or maybe we could "sneak" into the Forbidden Forest and see if…", but James stopped there, the thought of the Forbidden Forest have him the creeps, though the last time he had been there had been at night…and full moon.
It had been when he and Sirius hadn't known that Remus was a werewolf and had followed him to see where he went once in a month. The chock that he and Sirius had received when they, under the invisibility cloak, saw Dumbledore walk with Remus across the grass towards the Wipping Willow tree , and giving him the elixir that would make so that Remus wouldn't attack any human, was unexplainable. But when James thought about it better he realised that it had been even a bigger chock for Remus when he found out the very next day that they knew "his" secret.
"Just to think that it only was last year", James thought, feeling a lot more older than the year when he only was fourteen. At that time he had still been rather small and skinny, but at last had all the Quidditch practises made their assignment.
"Now", he mumbled" I need far more knowledge than playing quidditch", he said, his mind
tracing back to Peter, and the potion and charm knowledge you needed to become an Animagus.
He glanced at Lily, who walked beside him with bowed head, the red hair covering most of her face, and smiled, realising that if he could handle walking alone with Evans, he could handle anything.
"What are you looking at Potter", snapped Lily, glancing back at James who had a faint smile on his face and who occasionally glanced at her.
"I don't have to respond to that Evans if I don't want to", he said, the smile increasing.
"Then stop looking at me like that your git!", she responded, walking with larger steps.
"Oh, does it make you feel uncomfortable L.I.L.Y?", James teased with a pitiful voice " I'm sure that I certainly don't want to hurt your feelings L.I.L.Y"
"Shut up Potter. The only thing that will get hurt is your big and dirty mouth if you don't shut that big hole, I mean are you prepared to run to Madam Pomfrey again Potter, with another lame excuse that it was Sirius who "accidentally" slipped the wrong charm on you?", Lily grinned.
"Go and die Evans"
"Not after you"
"So now we…", But James stopped in the middle of his sentence, when hearing footsteps and voices. It was Professor McGonagoll, Hagrid and Professor Dumbledore, who were walking along the corridor, the same corridor which James and Lily were about to enter.
"I don't know what to say", Hagrid's husky voice echoed between the walls"…What are we to do Professor Dumbledore?", the half giant asked desperate the old man with the silvery, long beard and solemn eyes.
"We'll have to wait Hagrid, wait and see to get a glimpse of what is going to happen and understand…wait and see to at least find a ray of light… that's what we must do"
Silence.
Lily looked up at James, as he motioned with his mouth, to be quiet. She looked at him questionable, but when hearing the footsteps now much more louder, James took her by the arm and drew her with him behind a massive, shining armour, where they couldn't bee seen. She was about to protest, but he quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
"Oh…"Professor McGonagoll said"…what are we going to say, how are we going to act? This poor children don't know what's happening… they will…I…I feel so…"But she burst into tears before she could finish.
"Now, now Minerva", Professor Dumbledore consoled while Hagrid looked around with a worried look, probably worried that someone would hear them."…we cannot lose control, not now" Professor Dumbledore took another deep breath"…I'm afraid that in this near future we all have to try to swallow our grief, we must be strong…they depend on us, on all of us…"
"What do you mean Professor?" Minerva asked looking up from her red-dotted handkerchief.
"I'm going to tell them Minerva, they deserve the truth as much as us. They must learn what is true, the contrast between right and wrong, I must tell them, I have to…"
"But the minister…?", Minvera asked looking astonished at Dumbledore.
"The minister doesn't know, they don't know what's happening right about know, they are blind of the change, blind to see the future and the present. Bli-"
But Professor Dumbledore didn't finish his sentence though a choked shriek was heard nearby them. He stopped his track, as so did Hagrid and Professor McGonagall, who rapidly brushed away her tears.
"Lumos", Professor Dumbledore mumbled as the tip of his wand shot a bright golden light, strengthening the feeble rays from the few torches in the west wing corridor.
The headmaster's profile stood straight up, the age not giving it its admission yet. His long silver beard went down to his knees, which were hidden under the large and dark blue lounge coat, the silvery hair at the same length, glistering in the radiation of his wand. On the tip of the long and crooked nose was a pair of half-moon formed glasses, which showed two light blue pools of eyes, which did not show fright ness and uncertainty but determination, intelligence and kindness.
Professor Dumbledore took another step towards the direction were the noise had came from, but not a sound was heard from the set of the impressive armours, paintings nor did the stepladder that led to the corridor give an indication that someone was around.
"It was nothing", Professor Dumbledore said, his eyes, placed on the armour where James and Lily were hiding behind, twinkling. "Nothing that doesn't mean any harm."
"Professor-"Hagrid interrupted with a trembling voice, taking a huge step, towards the armours."…maybe it was-"
"No Hagrid, that will never happen.", Professor Dumbledore said straight and determined , not letting Hagrid finish what he was about to said. "Time catches everyone up, but it's not the time for Hogwarts, not yet at least. Trust me."
The half giant looked down at his huge feet, grabbing the hem of his rough and husky leather brown coat, with huge pockets were he had everything from rats to Dumballs, like a lost first year.
"I do Professor…and I will do what you tell me to do…I will right away go an-"
"I know Hagrid, I know.", Professor Dumbledore nodded.
And with that Dumebledore started to walk away, with Professor McGonagall and Hagrid behind, as Professor Dumebledore said load and clear: " Everything has its time, everything happens for a reason", as their footsteps echoed away, down the changing staircase.
For a moment James Potter held his breath, his heart pounding hard against his ribs. He had Lily Evans's head against his chest, his right hand covering her mouth as her eyes were bulging out from their socks, but not for the reason that she actually had her arms around James's back, but for the conversation she'd just heard.
They stood like that in a second or two, until James finally breathed out and Lily loosened her tight grip around him and stepped back.
"That was bloody near we got caught!", James shouted, not believing what just happened, brushing away a few sweat pearls from his forehead.
"Did you hear-did you see-?", Lily said, bewildered of the scenario a few minutes earlier.
"As if I did!", James responded looking straight into Lily's bright green eyes"…But you almost ruined everything when you bit my finger…", James snorted.
"As tight as you held your hand over my mouth I thought that you were trying to suffocate me, and when you didn't loosen up…I had to do something!", Lily protested, waving a way her hand, as if that wasn't of much importance"…I wonder-", she said, tracing back and forward.
"-what they were referring to?", James finished her sentence with furrowed eyebrows, his mind going up in steam." Did you see their faces…and by Merlin's beard, never in my life have I ever thought of ever seeing Professor McGonagall break down like that!"
"I feel sorry for her-for them" Lily paused"…and for us…I mean…what was Professor Dumbledore talking about, you know about telling us students?"
"Well, we may soon find out, won't we?", James said, leaning against the wall, with a worried look covering his young features.
"But what if Professor Dumbledore regrets it…and…and doesn't tell us, what if the minister…oh this is so confusing…what has the minister to do with this? It really must be something big", Lily said, brushing away a strand of red hair.
"That's for us to find out, I mean if Professor Dumbledore regrets of telling us.", James said with an evil grin.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing", James replied quickly, but his dark eyes said a whole other thing.
"Potter", Lily said with a steady voice" you are not telling this to anyone, do you hear me? Not to Sirius, nor Remus, to no one. I feel that this is far to delicate, we've just heard a conversation that we weren't suppose to hear, at least not yet." She sighed", so please, I know that we…err…dislike each other, but please promise me that this will be a secret between you and I."
James grunted, but his eyes couldn't escape Lily's pleading green orbs.
"Alright", he said with much effort.
"Promise me"
"Alright, I promise"
"-that this will", Lily added.
"-be a secret between you Evans and me." James rolled his eyes." Are you happy?"
"Not as happy as you are", Lily snorted" but I really wonder-" she continued" what Hagrid was supposed to do for Professor Dumbledore and what grief were they talking about?"
"Must be something important, very important, and by how they sounded it doesn't look like it's a good thing"
"I think that it sounds scary", Lily mumbled, feeling a big untied knot in the bottom of her stomach." It doesn't…feel…right"
James hadn't heard her, though he was in other thoughts. His worst fear was that they were actually talking about them; Padfoot, Prongs, Wormtail and Moony, but he knew that it was impossible. The thought of the fear in Hagrid's and Professor McGonagall's face and the hopeless feature in Professor Dumbledore, in his opinion the most talented wizard in history, made his stomach feel empty.
"James Potter and Lily Evans!", a squeaky voice said, surprised " What are you two doing here, we're waiting for you!" the voice that belonged to Head Girl Dominicilia Hadriana continued, as the seventeen year old girl, tall, brown hair, and with glasses, suddenly appeared in front of them with hands on her ribs.
James and Lily were dumfound, they had forgotten about the meeting.
"Now, now hurry up", she continued," How rude of you two to be twenty minutes late, I'll have to report this to Professor McGonagall!"
"We-", James started.
"Quiet Potter!" Dominicilia said, sounding like Professor McGonagall." I feel so ashame of you, you should have seen Damian, the head boy from Slythering, when you didn't show up when the meeting started. And that nasty fifth year prefect-what's his name?- oh right- Serverous Snape, I can't belive that he actually had the courage to say that this showed how irresponsible we Gryffendors are. And what a humiliate when they all agreed that I should go and look for you !"
"But-"Lily began.
"No Lily. I feel very disappointed and even more when Lucius Malfoy appointed to me that Professor McGonagall had made a bad choice when electing you to be prefects"
"As if Professor Salvaje made a good choice electing him as a prefect a year ago", snorted James, receiving a nasty look from Dominicilia"…what!? Isn't it true then? Everything he does is picking on us Gryffendors. Yesterday a third year Slythering threw a screaming spell on Tomas Brown, and guess what Malfoy did? He scowled Tomas for beeing in this Slythering's way!"
"Well…he must have had a good reason for doing so. I think that Lucius is a very justice person and let us end this conversation ", Dominicilia said in return.
"…or maybe you just think like that about him because you fancy him", James mumbled.
Unfortunately Domicilia heard it.
"I said let us end this conversation Potter!", she said, turning around to him, her eyes shooting thunders. And with that final word, she led them around the corner until they passed the Painting of Monsieur Alfully Retamred, who looked at them with a sleepy gaze and with a pair of striped Pyjamas on instead of his usually elegant suit.
Opening a huge brown oak door, they stepped into a large room which had an oval formed table in the middle, with chairs around it where all the prefects sat on.
"Finally", said David Boogi, a rawenclaw student with blond, spiky hair and brown eyes, taking up his wand and by one swish bringing two extra chairs from one of the dark corners,
to the table. "We have been waiting for you"
"What have you been doing with Evans, Potter?", Serverous Snape said, with an evil grin, and doing something not approvable with his fingers.
"COULD YOU PLEASE BEHAVE SNAPE!", Dominicilia said, terrified." I certainly don't approve that kind of yoke!"
"Leave him alone.", Damian, a large boy with huge ears and bushy eyebrows, said, turning to James, who looked as if he could murder Snape, who behind Dominicilia's back made several grimaces, and Lily, who looked down at the floor much to embarrassed to look up. "I don't want to hear some lame excuses of why you didn't come in time."
"Sit down", a hufflepuff student said with a gently voice to both James and Lily who stood on the same spot as before when Dominicilia sat beside Damian at the end of the table.
"You can sit here Lily", said David, bringing one of the two chairs next to him. Lily smiled at him, though he really was a nice boy, even though she had turned him down when he had
asked her to be his partner for the Yule Ball. Occasionally, her gaze fell on James, as he snorted at her and sat beside a fifth year Rawenclaw girl with blond curls whose name was Camilla.
"Can't imagine how terrible it must have been for you beeing alone with James…but why were you so late?", David whispered in Lily's ear.
She turned to David, who looked innocently at her, but instead of answering his question she smiled at him, and when turning her head she caught James's eyes as he looked back at her. A silent message that no one could understand was sent between them when her green eyes for the first time actually looked straight back to his; " A secret between you and I".
To be continue…..
Please I beg you to review, it really means a lot to me…
