1.1 Lily's Problem
2 Chapter 5
Lily trained very hard that day. She learned new spells. Advance ones. Fireze said that the sooner she learned, the better. Remus watched everything from a soft cloud. He still couldn't believe his eyes.
" i don't see any new powers." Lily told him when she was resting.
"no, you won't until the time comes. You have to be on an extreme situation and there they will burst out of you, just as if a bomb exploded." He said
"and that may not be for some years."
They continued practicing and just 15 minutes before they returned to the real world, Firenze stopped the practicing.
"you know, here you can do anything that in the real world you wouldn't dream of." " even if you are not the chosen one, you have extraordinary powers here" he said, looking at Remus.
"anything like what?" lily asked
" from changing the weather to flying........without a broom". Firenze said "and how can we do that?" asked Remus, jumping up from his cloud.
"you just have to really wish for it and hold hands with lily. When you hold your hands with some other witch or wizard, your power doubles and imagen what could happen if you double your power with someone very powerful?" Firenze asked.
Lily took Remus' hand and concentrated in flying. It was a while before they felt themselves levitating and when they opened their eyes they saw they were really floating. They flew to one side and to another, up and down, it was amazing!!!!!!!!!
Too suddenly, in mid-air they found themselves being jerked away, time was over. Colors flashed by, different sounds were making them sick. It all stopped.
BUM!
They both hit the floor. It took them some seconds to realize they were in front of the Fat Lady.
Remus had landed on top of lily. And they just lay there, laughing.
Suddenly the portrait was opened from the inside. Lily and Remus were laughing so much, they didn't notice.
" I think that these two have some explanations to give" said Sirius.
Remus jumped up and he saw Sirius, Peter and James looking at them strangely. Sirius was grinning, Peter just stood there expressionless, but James just.....scowled? what was that? A second later his face was back normal.
"so, what were you doing?" Sirius asked them.
Remus suddenly realized what that seen must have looked like, and he went a bright shade of red in his face. Lily looked at him and just laughed harder than before.
"it is not what you think...we just landed here" I shouldn't have said that, thought remus.
" landed? Were you flying?" Peter said, jokingly.
You said it " no....we were just walking and i tripped with something and i landed were you saw me." Remus said.
Lily was still laughing on the floor. James took her hand and pulled her to her feet.
"thanks" she said and climbed through the portrait.
The others came after her.
"so, what were you doing?" sirius asked, still suspiciously.
"we were just talking. We are friends, remember?" Remus said
" i am very, very, veeeeeeeeery tired, good night" lily went up the stairs and into her bed. She was so tired that she fell asleep instantly.
In the morning Dana and Kristin got up early and went to the boy's dorm. They were going to make james make his part of their deal. Surprisingly he was already awake.
"what are you doing here?" he asked
"came to ask when are you going to ask lily out. If you don't ask her we are going to follow you even in your dreams telling you to do so. So if you do it today you will save yourself and us some trouble." Dana said.
"ok"
"ok? You will?" Kristin asked surprised for his quick answer
"yeah, i was going to do so, anyway."
" yeah, sure." Dana said, not believing him. But what else could she do? With that, the girls left.
He had really been thinking on asking her out. She was so sweet, with those melting green eyes and soft, bright red lips... why deny it? He liked her. He had dreamed with her every night after talking to her in the common room. But now he had a problem. He thought she liked Remus. Well, he had to ask her himself if he wanted to know.
That day, in transfiguration McGonagall partnered James and Lily together.
Everyone was busy trying to turn their feather into a key. This was the perfect time.
"um ....lily?" he said
"um?" she answered, obviously concentrating hard on the feather.
" next Saturday we are going to Hogsmade (sp?) and....would you like to go with me?" he asked, a bit nervous. Why? He had asked girls out thousands of times, why was he nervous?
"what?" she asked looking at him in the eye.
You have the most beautiful eyes i have ever seen. " i was asking you out. So, what do you say?" he asked
" um........ sure? Sure." She answered
what had just happened? Had James Potter just asked her out? Well, she surely enough had heard those words coming out of his mouth.
She couldn't concentrate on the class anymore, and it was only thanks to James that the feather turned into a beautiful golden key.
When the class was over she went straight to her friends and she told them the news. They didn't seem very surprised, but when she was about to asked them if they knew something she didn't, Peeves pulled the rug under their feet and they all felt into the hard floor.
Later that night Remus and Lily went to Dumbledore's office and there they found Firenze.
"hey! Sorry about yesterday, i forgot the time. Did you got hurt?" he asked
"no" the answered.
That day they trained harder than the day before. Remus, meanwhile, flew around.
This became an habit, Remus insisted in going every night, except in full moons. She learned hundreds of hexes and innumerable, very useful, spells.
This didn't only increased her confidence in herself, but it also made her more healthy. She also trained her physical skills. She now replaced her white-milk cheeks for rosy ones. She had become more slender.
Saturday came. They all met in the common room. It was a sunny day.
They arrived at Hogsmade. Everyone went to the joke shop but James took Lily for a butterbear. They talked for a while. James kept gazing at her. He had notice her change, her red cheeks, her more cheerful personality. With every word that came out of her blood-red lips, James fell for her. But he didn't know if she liked Remus, or if Remus liked her. He wouldn't do anything to hurt his friends and he just couldn't ask her then and there, for fear she would tell him she liked Remus. So, he decided to ask her friends later.
They had a great afternoon together and then their friends joined them.
It was late, so they returned to the castle, Remus, Sirius, and Peter with pockets full of dungbombs and James, with a pocket full of hopes.
Next morning, when they went to breakfast, they saw a big group of students reading a paper on the wall. They went to see what was going about and read.

"hope that some girls make it into the team this year" sirius said. He was a beater and James was the seeker.
"lily, you should go to the try out" Remus said simply.
Everyone looked at him. Non of them had ever seen her flying. They thought that she was afraid of highs.
"lily? But why?" asked Peter.
"i have seen her flying (true), and she is a natural" he said.
"no, i am not. I just like the feeling." Lily said
"you should try it." He repeated.
Lily thought about it. Once, while training with Firenze she asked him about it.
"i think you should try" he answered.
So, on Thursday at 5 she headed for the quidditch pitch. She had borrowed Sirius' broom.
There were a lot of people, she would never make it.
She had decided to try for chaser. She flew up and down, in circles, in and out the goal posts. Someone passed her the quaffle but it was too far and it went into a 60 foot dive. She followed and caught it just 2 feet from the ground, pulling the broom up. Everyone cheered and her friends who were in the stands couldn't believe their eyes.
She had obviously done it into the team.
James was very happy, now he would be able to be with her a lot of time.
Little did he knew that that would be their trouble.
