1 Lily's Problem

Chapter 9

Disclaimer: everything you recognise is Rowling's.

N/A: sorry i haven't updated lately, i had a lot of homework. Now, on with the chapter.



Lily wasn't speaking to James. She wasn't avoiding him, she was ignoring him. James knew he had been a total fool. He later realised it had all been Snape's plan. The cold glare Lily had given him was unforgettable. The senesce kept repeating on his head. He was angry with himself.

Sirius was worried for his friend. He didn't eat or sleep. He looked terrible. So he decided to set him up with another girl. He knew any girl would die to go on a date with James Potter. He decided on a Ravenclaw girl called Katie.

James was so sad he, one day, didn't realised he had accepted going to the mega-ball with Katie.



Snape, meanwhile, was taking advantage of Lily's situation. He gave her flowers and chocolates every day. Lily thought he was really sweet and nice. Her love for James was replaced with pure hatred. So, now Snape had many chances on going with her to the ball.

He finally asked her, she accepted.

Dana was ver worried. (n/a: yeah, I know, everyone worried for their friends, but i think it id sweet.) for Lily. She had never liked Snape. She knew he had evil running down his veins. She also knew that Lily and James were meant to be together. She tried to convince Lily of leaving Snape but she was too stubborn for her own good.

With this stronger personality, Lily also made her best on her practises with Firenze. She would practise passionately, putting all her feelings into it. He noticed this and asked her about it. She told him everything that was happening to her, and when she finished she felt like something very heavy had just been lifted off her shoulders.

"I think you should give this Potter another chance." He said knowingly.

"that is not going to happen" she answered.



Could things go worst? She thought. Yes, it could and it did.

That same night, when she was returning to her common room, she heard, again, Snape talking.

" it was very easy.... you should have seen Potter's face." He said

"so, tell me, what did you see in her?" a voice she recognised ad Malfoy's said.

"seeing her 16 year old self was like seeing a goddess. And I think she will look like that in the ball. My Durmstrang friends will be so jealous." He said.

He asked her out just to make his friends jealous?

"but, tell me again how you got her to dumb him?" malfoy asked.

"simple. I made her overhead a conversation I had with Potter."

What? She opened the door to the room were the voices came from.

" THERE IS NO WAY I AM GOING TO THE BALL WITH A JERK LIKE YOU" she boomed. She turned round and returned to her common room. There she found Kristin and Dana and told them what had happened. They both seemed happy about it. She ignored this and went to bed.

The day when the other schools would arrive came. Lily greeted some Italian friends while Kristin met her old friends from Rivadavia.

Dumbledore had decided that the quidditch season would start the same day the schools came. It would be (n/a: what else?) Grryfindor vs. Slythering.



The stadium was full of people. Lily was very calm although all her team was hysteric. James was happy he had the chance to be near lily.

Too soon they were all out on the pitch. Durmstrang had sided with Slythering, but all the rest had sided with Gryffindor.

Different people were shouting in different languages what was happening.

Brown and Snape (he was the slythering captain) shook hands.

The game started. Lily quickly got hold of the quaffle (sp?) and scored. To make it short, the game was lasting an eternity. The score was 200 slythering and 215 Gryffindor.

James spotted the snitch and made a dive for it. Neck, to neck with the slythering seeker.

But people's attention was on a certain redheaded girl. Lily's broom was shaking and rolling, going higher and higher. The snitch disappeared. James went directly to where Lily was. She was holding with only one hand for dear life. James tried to get near her, but the broom moved away suddenly. Lily's hand slipped and she fell.....fell...fell. James was in such shock he couldn't react.

Lily was panicking. She was going to die!!!! No one was near her to save her....

She suddenly heard Firenze's voice in her head...

Just close your eyes and imagine you are in our special dimension.... floating....

Lily did so. She imagine herself floating beside Remus...... and just some inches from the ground she started flying.....

The crowd went silent with amusement. SHE WAS FLYING WITHOUT A BROOM!!!!!

She opened her eyes to find everyone staring at her. She didn't mind. She, herself was astonish. She went up and and to the sides, she felt....free.

James was so shocked he just fell off... lily caught him by his hands, just in time. She placed him gently in the ground. Then she landed beside him and went to the locker's room.

So this was one of her special powers?! She asked to herself.
