Author's Notes- Just to let you know, I own nothing. By the way, I beg you to review, but nothing bad please. How did you like Chapter 3? Notice any closeness. I had to throw in getting lost for some stupid reason. Anyway, they are at school now. Snape tries to plan some revenge, and Remus starts acting all strange (blah blah blah).
Lily's Lake
Chapter 4
"Welcome back to Hogwarts!" Dumbledore cried as we sat, waiting for the sorting to begin.
We all sat impatiently, wanting to eat more then watching the sorting. I was hungry, since I had ate very little on the train ride.
The first years came in, looking around scared. It was hard to believe I was once one of them.
The sorting began. I watched as kid after kid went up to sit on the bench and be sorted. Then, finally, it was over.
"Done! Eat eat eat!" I whispered under my breath.
Netta and Andrea turned and nudged me, but then I saw Anya was doing it too, and I giggled. After the few short words we ate our food, barely pausing until dessert.
"I wonder what we do this year," Andrea said, taking a drink of our pumpkin juice.
"Same thing all the second years do," I answered.
We giggled. But it was true. In the history of Hogwarts (not litteraly) the students had done the same thing each year.
After the feast we went up to our room. It was the same as before. We put up our pictures, and changed into our nightclothes, and went to bed.
Hogwarts life rolled around us. Second year was no different then first year, only a little bit of different lessons. Everything was basically the same.
One night we all sat in the Common Room, helping each other with our homework, when Remus looked outside.
"Oh no. I'm not...um... feeling that well. I'll see you guys later, I guess," Remus said, and ran from the Common Room.
"What was that all about?" I whispered.
Everyone shrugged, and went back to work.
The next day Remus wasn't in school. We went to the hospital wing to look for him, but he wasn't there. He wasn't in school the next day either, or the next day, or the next.
"That's strange. Remus never misses a day of school, no matter how sick he is," Andrea said as we walked back from Potions.
We came into the Common Room to find Remus reading a book on one of the couches.
"There you are. We've all been worried sick. Where were you?" I asked, coming over to him.
"Sick, just like I said. Madame Quig didn't want me mixing with the other students," Remus said.
We nodded, and started to do our homework. He was acting a little strangely, but what could we say?
"Look, it's the Potter gang and the LANA gang," Lucius Malfoy said to his friends.
Tep Coret and Severus Snape stood with him. Tep always followed them around, as they were the top students in Slytherin 2nd year.
"Do you think we should plan revenge, or just wait?" Snape asked, crossing his arms.
"Better now, when they don't expect it. They've been too worried over their friend's illness," Lucius said, grinning in his evil way.
"I agree. Coret, do you still have those firecrackers from Hogsmeade?" Snape asked.
Coret nodded, ready to impress these two scholars.
"Good. I'll need those by tomorrow. You'd better have them," Snape said, and grinned.
Lily walked by, and flashed a smile in their direction. Snape just kept on grinning.
"Severus, we'd better get back to the Common Room. We need a little while to plan," Lucius said.
Snape nodded, and walked toward the dungeon, Lucius by his side and Coret stummbling behind them.
The next morning at breakfast was quite normal. I received a letter from my family. Mandy was a little tired and flew right off to the Owl's tower. I read my letter aloud, skipping the embarassing parts.
"Great, you get mail and the rest of us don't. That's not fair," Anya said, crossing her arms.
"Lily's family is like that," James said, nudging me.
"Hey, that's not true. Your parents make you... make you... clean your room!" I said.
"Don't yours?" he asked.
"Got you there, Lily, didn't he?" Sirius laughed.
I sank under the table, when I noticed a box of fireworks underneath our seats. I giggled.
"Hey, guys. I have something under there that might interest you," I said, and pointed underneath their seats.
They looked down and saw the lit fireworks.
"I really do wonder who could have sent us such a wonderful gift. Too bad we already have too much. We really should return it," James said.
We all giggled. He picked up the fireworks from the table.
"Lilian, I need you to cause a distraction while I put these under Snape's seat," James said, and pulled me up.
"Don't they make such a cute couple?" Andrea whispered under her breath so I couldn't hear.
We walked over to the table.
"Um... didn't you all hear? Tryouts for your team are Saturday. I really hope you guys get a good team," I said, talking as slow as possible.
James kicked the fireworks under Snape's chair. I waved, and ran back to our table.
"Done. Now, how long until the celebration?" I asked.
"Right about... now," Remus said.
There was a huge boom from the Slytherin table. Snape jumped up and ran from the room, holding his hands over his butt.
"That went well," I said.
Dumbledore's eyes flashed to our table, but went back to the Slytherin table, where everyone was wiping oatmeal from their clothing.
The next month Remus disappeared again, and again the next month. No one could figure it out. It was the mystery of Hogwarts. But we got used to it, and it left our minds, as Halloween grew nearer.
That night we all sat in the Common Room, waiting for the feast to start.
"Remus is going to miss the feast if he doesn't hurry," Andrea said.
"Yeah. Anya, will you put my hair up for me, for the occasion?" I asked, throwing my head back.
My hair had grown out, and it was now to my shoulders. Anya was still obsessed with it, and grabbed it to start putting it up.
"How about a braided ponytail? Those are nice," Anya said, tieing a black ribbon over the top rubberband.
"That's fine," I answered.
She pulled and braided my hair until I was sure my scalp was red. But it ended up looking perfect. I felt wonderful.
"The feast starts in five minutes! Let's get going!" James said.
We all walked down from the Common Room and into the Great Hall. It was beautiful. The pumkins were lit and glowing in the semi-darkness.
"It's so pretty! I have got to take a picture," Netta said, and flashed a picture.
"Isn't it. I love Halloween. Muggle kids get candy, we get the time of our life!" I said.
We sat down and watched the dancing skeletons. The clapping was tremendous. We all loved it. Dumbldore stood up, made some comments, and the food appeared.
All through the meal the skeletons continued. We paid little attention, and talked most of the time.
"Netta, you have to give me a copy of the picture you took. My family, not including Petunia, would love to see it," I said.
"We should take a whole bunch of pictures of us doing like magic and stuff. Some Saturday," Andrea said.
We nodded in agreement. That would be lots of fun. Netta snapped a few pictures of us eating and playing little jokes on each other. The boys were always playing them on us, and we had a few pictures of us all together.
"One last one. No jokes, nice and formal," Netta said, and set the timer.
We all gathered around each other, and the camera snapped. The flash nearly blinded us (didn't it always?).
"Now, students. Off you trot to bed!" Dumbledore said.
We stayed behind. The privacy of walking up the stairs without others than our little groups was nice.
Then, we all walked off.
"Did you see the third skeleton? He was completely out of step in the last piece," Anya said.
"Yeah, he was. But the food was great. It was Hogwarts food," I said.
"Remus never showed. Oh, well, you'll have to show him the pictures," James said.
"Speaking of pictures, I'm going to go into the bathroom to develop these when we get back," Netta said.
She used the bathroom to develop her pictures. If you turned off the lights it was really dark, and she needed it dark.
We walked into the Common Room. Anya, Netta, Andrea, and I went up to our room to talk. Netta went to develop her film in the bathroom, and we threw ourselves on our bed. Jenna was writing a letter, while telling us to be quiet. Of course, we weren't.
"Any new ideas for tricks? I'm fresh out," Anya said.
"Well, we could... no, already did that. Or... no, did that too. I'm fresh out too," I said.
"We can take a picture of them sleeping, and then post them in the Great Hall," Netta suggested, coming from the bathroom.
"That's a great idea! I'll go spy on them, tell you when it's safe to take it," I said, and left.
The boys were just leaving to go to their room. I watched, and waited. Ten minutes later, when the Common Room was basically empty, I snuck up the stairs, and put me ear against the door. All I heard was snoring. I grinned, and went to get the others.
We snuck into their room, and pulled back their curtains. They were asleep. Netta took out her camera, and took a picture of them both. We giggled, and ran back to our room. Netta got those pictures developed, and held them out for us to see. Perfect.
"A little enlargement spell will do the trick," I said.
After that was done Andrea took a quill and wrote in big fancy letters "Sirius Black and James Potter Asleep!".
The next morning we got up extra early, and hung the pictures up in the Great Hall. Then we snuck back upstairs and got back into bed.
Later, we all went downstairs for breakfast. James and Sirius walked in, and didn't move. They were frozen to the floor, staring at the picture.
"LOOK! IT'S JAMES POTTER AND SIRIUS BLACK!" someone yelled.
James and Sirius were still frozen in place. We were laughing histericly. James and Sirius snapped out of it, and came over to the table.
"That's fine photomanship. The finest in the school. It could only be taken by one person, Netta," James said.
"You caught us. People were getting worried because we weren't playing too much tricks on one another," I said, taking a drink of my juice.
"Yeah, whatever you say, Lilian," James said.
"My name is Lily, not Lilian. Get that through your head!" I said, smacking his head.
He whined on and on about how it hurt, and we simply ignored him. Halfway through the meal Remus came in.
"Hello, you all. A new trick I see. The girls work, I bet?" Remus said, taking his seat.
James nodded. Remus laughed.
"Well, it seems they have got a few things up their sleeves," Remus said.
"Quidditch tryouts are today!" James sang as he came into the Great Hall.
We all turned. It was obvious James wanted to be on the Quidditch team, and he had a good chance of making it too. He was really good at flying.
"Luck then. You can meet us in the empty classroom by Charms when you're done. We are taking pictures," Sirius said as a matter of factly.
"Ok, well, I have to eat good so I will be nice and energized for try-outs," James said.
We all sighed, and finished our breakfast. Then we went up to the classroom. James waved us good-bye, and went toward the field.
There were pictures of everything. Us doing magic, and just plain sitting around playing cards and chess.
"I made it! I made the team!" James cried, coming into an empty classroom. "Hm... it's empty."
He went into the next one.
"I made the team! I made it!" James cried, entering the classroom we were in.
"Good for you," we all said.
"What are you all doing? Playing cards, on a accasion like this?" James asked, looking over our shoulders.
"Yes, and if you don't mind, I can't see over your big fat head!" I cried, trying to push him out of the way.
"Ah, Lilian! Don't be such a poor sport just because you're losing," James said, grabbing on of my braids.
"I am NOT losing. And my name is NOT LILIAN!" I cried.
I grabbed a piece of is hair and started to pull. He pulled on my braid. But a flash interrupted us.
"Got it. This will be worth a million galleons. I'll call it, "Lilian and James fighting".
"Oh, shut up," I said.
Christmas came upon us. The old decorating started all over, and the late night wrapping as well. The little Christmas tree was set up, and every inch of it was covered in decorations. The ceiling became a mess of holly, and the mistletoe was hung by the doorway.
"There, all ready for Christmas," I said.
"Lily, maybe you should get some fresh air or something while we wrapourgifts," Anya said the last word quickly.
"Sure. I need some anyway," I said.
I left the room, and hopped down the stairs. Everyone was in high spirits for Christmas. I was staying here for Christmas again, as I didn't want to go to Aunt Melissa's.
I sat down in a chair, and listened to people bragging about different things. It was really boring.
"Hello, Lily. Sirius and James are off getting a detention for setting fireworks lose in the Great Hall," Remus said.
"Really? Well, knowing them it has to be true," I said.
"What are you getting them for Christmas this year?" Remus asked.
"Gum that turns their ears blue or red, depends on the flavor. LANA decided on it," I said.
"That will be a sight. This year they decided to eat their candy in their room, so I'll get a picture for you guys," Remus said.
"Thanks. Oh, look, they're back. Tell then anything, and I will kill you," I said, and went back upstairs.
"For the last time, Lily, GET UP!" Andrea shouted in my ear.
I opened my eyes and looked up at her. It was Christmas morning. I grinned, and fell out of bed.
"Morning to you all. I think I'm deaf now, Andrea," I said, sitting by my pile of gifts.
"Oh that's a cute dress. You should wear it today!" Anya said as I opened my gift from my Grandparents.
"Not happening. It's a size too big," I said.
"No, it's suppose to be like that," Netta said.
I sighed, and set it down.
"By the way, Lily. We just proved it, your not deaf, and never will be," Andrea said.
"NOT AGAIN!" two voices screamed from the boys side.
We nodded, and went downstairs. Remus handed us a picture, since he had a fast developer camera. James and Sirius were standing in it, their ears different colors.
"Well, that's deffinatly one for the album," I said.
"You're right. Anyway, why don't we blow it up, or something?" Netta said.
"No, I like it just the way it is," I said.
The end of the year came quicker than any of us had liked, and we hadn't even chosen a end of the year prank! We had filled out sheets for next years subjects (I was taking everything my friends were). I was happy to go home and see my family, and I missed them a lot (not Petunia).
The letters got shorter, saying that they would pick me up.
But we didn't need the end of the year prank. It was already made, for us. We woke up the last day of school, ready to start packing.
"Lily, what's that?" Andrea asked.
"It's a... SPIDER!" Netta yelled, and ran towards the door.
But she slipped, and slid the whole way the door, which made her crash.
"Great, the boys put slippery stuff on our floor. Count on them to ruin our last day of school," I said.
We all walked with great difficulty, trying to pack. It was easier than we thought it would be.
"Well, we should get going," Anya said.
We got onto the Hogwarts express, and rode all the way back to London, where we would meet our families for another fun packed summer.
Author's Notes- Ok, so it's not that good of a chapter. What can I say? I'm fresh out of ideas. Anyone notice certain things that will lead up to fourth year, when things really start? Anyway, review for me, and I plan on putting another character thingy in the next chapter, just for the fun of it. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer, and I'm going to stop now.

Anyway, review for me, and I plan on putting another character thingy in the next chapter, just for the fun of it. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer, and I'm going to stop now.
