Author's Notes-Next part, part 7. Did anyone like the last chapter? I did! Of course, I wrote it. So, summary: Lily is back in school, (no mushiness until later), so on and so forth. Ok, disclamer- I own nothing, other people own it all, I'm just a fanfic writer! This chapter is short, because it's only for a few months, and basically nothing happens (except some important stuff). This is in Lily's POV, so she doesn't know about certain things until she finds out, kay? So, don't ask. Ok, start the story again, no more blabbing Starlight Eve!

Lily's Lake
Chapter 7

"It's good to be back," I said, laying on my bed, my curtains pulled apart so I could see my friends.
"Isn't it? I'll read you the stuff I wrote from vacation," Andrea said, picking up her diary.
She kept a diary, faithful like doing her homework. And it was clear to us never to touch it. We had each said what we had done over vacation (I had left out a few things).
Jenna came into the room.
"We should get to bed, it's getting late, even for you guys," Jenna said, walking over to her bed.
"Ok, let's go to bed," I said, and pulled my curtains shut.
I stuck my head through them, and said goodnight, then fell back into my fortress of a bed.

"Anya, stop poking me. Your finger is sharp," I grummbled, rolling over in my sleep.
It was morning, and I didn't want to get up. I didn't want to get out of bed, despite the bit of pain in my cheek.
"Lily? Are you allright in there?" Anya asked from outside my bed.
I sat up in fright.
"Anya, if you're out there, then what's in my bed?" I asked, looking around my bed.
Anya opened my curtains.
"Nice pajamas," she said in a greeting.
I smiled fakily, and went to search for the poking object. Then I heard Anya gasp. I looked up. She was pointing to something on my pillow. I looked over.
A rose was laying on my pillow, bewitched to be a light blue. I smiled, and picked up, careful to avoid the prickers.
"Lily got a rose! Lily got a rose!" Anya sang, jumping around the room.
The next thing I knew everyone was around my bed, looking at it. Jenna was grinning, and everyone else was gasping.
"Who sent it? I mean, did it just appear on you pillow?" Netta asked.
"I don't know," I answered.
"Lily, it cut your face, right on you cheek. Your bleeding," Andrea said, running to get a tissue.
I held the tissue over my cut, but I was still smiling. I changed and Anya helped me with my hair.
"Feeling happy, are you? Well, let's do something really strange," Anya did.
"Here, Andrea, will you get the thorns of the rose? Netta, will you find something of Lily's that's light blue?" Anya ordered.
Andrea took the rose, and Netta went through my wardrobe. Soon, I was in a white shirt, and a long light blue skirt. Then my black robes were over it.
"It clashes, but hey, who cares? At least you look nice," Anya said, spinning me around.
She had a loose braided bun on the back of my head. Andrea gave the rose to Anya. She clipped it, and stuck it in my bun.
"There, perfect. Come on, let's go down and eat," Anya said.
We all walked down to breakfast. No one was in the Common Room, as we were late for breakfast. We walked into the Great Hall, and towards the Gryffindor table.
"Don't look now, but you have some admirers, Lil'," Netta whispered in my ear so only Anya, Andrea, and I could hear.
Andrea laughed, and Anya giggled.
We sat down at our usual seats, and began to eat.
"You must look magical, that's computeing with the many stares you are getting!" Anya said.
"Let me take a picture, please?" Netta asked.
I nodded. She smiled, and took out her camera. Before long we were back to eating, Anya quietly fixing my hair (which had grown out to normal after the potion incident).

All through the day I got looks of jealousy and admiration. It felt wonderful, and when I went back to my room, I took my hair out.
I took the rose, and put it in a box at the bottom of my chest.
"I wonder who sent that rose. They must have done it when we were asleep. But how did they know we were asleep?" Andrea asked.
"Probably spied, and waited until we were all up in our room," I answered.
"Yeah, but everyone knows we stay up late talking a lot. Someone must have..." Anya said, but she didn't have to finish.
"Jenna! Do you have anything to do with this?" I asked.
"I was sworn to secrecy, so I can't tell you!" Jenna cried, hiding her face.
"Tell us! I have a right to know who sent me a rose, don't I?" I asked, running over to her.
"They swore me to..." Jenna started.
We gasped, and smiled.
"Oh no, I've said to much. Goodnight," Jenna said, and ran to her bed.

Two days later, the Potter Gang and the LANA gang were sitting around a table doing our homework. Actually Remus was "ill", so it was just the rest of us. I was just sitting there, staring at my Arithmancy homework, which would not solve. James was biting his quill while trying to write an essay. Netta was playing with her hair in confusion (no one could get the Aritmancy homework). Andrea was painting her nails while pretending to do homework. Anya was yawning, and drawing all over her homework. Peter was actually writing an essay for Astronomy, and Sirius was asleep, his heads on his hands.
"Do you think we should wake him up?" James asked, pointing to Sirius.
"Nah, it's better when he's asleep. That way he isn't planting dungbombs or getting in trouble," I said.
Everyone agreed, so we let Sirius sleep. He started to snore, and drooled all over his paper.
"Ugh! That's gross!" Andrea cried, moving away from him.
James stretched out a hand and closed his friends mouth. It stopped, and I looked back at my homework.
"Does anyone understand this? It's like 'the amount of a full qualdron with an amount of five split qualdrons with the numerator blah blah blah," I said, mocking out our teacher.
"Nope. I just wrote 55 with the addend of 6, that's what Netta told me to write," Andrea said.
"Netta! Is that right?" I asked.
"Probably not, considering I heard it from Anya," Netta said, and continued to play with her hair.
"Traitor!" Anya hissed at Netta, then said, "James told me."
"And it's what I got, doing the first part with the second part," James said, looking at us.
"So, in other words, it's wrong," I said.
"Most likely, but hey, at least you did the homework," James answered.
I sighed, and looked back at the paper. I just wrote down some numbers, and threw that assignment back into my bag.
"Look at all this homework, I'm going to die!" I cried, and fell back in the chair.
"Don't worry, Lilian, you won't die, not today any way," James said.
I was too tired to aruge, so I just through my hands in the air, and walked upstairs.

Potions was horrible the next day. Not only had I failed to do half my homework assignment (not one person knew what a Hugebean was), but I was tired.
"Now, I want everyone to brew a invisibilty Potion by the end of class. We will test it on these mice," the Professor said.
The door opened and Professor McGonagall appeared. She motioned the Professor out, and we were left alone.
"Looks like Potter has a girl friend," Snape hissed at James.
Oh great, another fight. This was just what I needed today, so I ignored the flying fists. The class began to cheer their housemate on. Gryffindors cheered for James, and Slytherins cheered for Snape.
I rolled my eyes and rested my head on my hands. Sirius had gotten involved in the fight, and the Professors had disappeared.
I stood up in annoyance, and walked over to the fight was taking place.
"Look, it's Potty Potter's girl friend, Red Headed Evans," Snape sang, grinning at us.
The Slytherins laughed.
I was really mad, and swung my fist at Snape. It hit him right in the chin, sending him falling.
"Ow, you hit me!" Snape said.
The door opened and the Professor walked in and saw us. Everyone stopped cheering, and faced forward.
"What's going on here?" the Professor asked.
"Potter, Black, and Evans ganged up on me, sir. They hit me, sir," Snape cried.
"That's not true! Snape started it!" James yelled.
Everyone threw their side of the story at the Professor. He raised his hands for silence.
"Everyone be quiet! Potter, Black, Evans, Snape, detention for all of you," the Professor cried, "Now sit down!"
Snape opened his mouth to protest, but sat down anyway.

Our detention was we all had to clean the trophys. That wasn't so bad, because in the middle of the detention Sirius threw some soapy water at James, who threw it back. But it missed, and hit me. So started our soap fight. Snape was too arogant to join in, and kept on cleaning.
We returned to the Common Room, with water all over us. I had to use half my bottle of shampoo to get it all out. But I had had fun.


"The good-bye feast. It's always sad," Netta said as we walked into the Great Hall.
It was our last day at Hogwarts. Tomorrow we would all go home. And I would have a James Potterful summer (Oh joy).
We sat down, and started to eat. Dumbledore stood up when the feast was over.
"Now, the end of the year has come, no matter how we try to stop it. We say goodbye to our 7th years, and wish them luck. But for the rest of you, you will return to our school for more days of learning. Now, be well, and sleep well," Dumbledore said.
We all started towards the doors, (which was pretty hard because the doors couldn't fit everyone through at the same time). After fifteen minutes in the mush of people, we finally started up the stairs towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Oh, this is so sad. Think about it, soon we will all be home, but not near each other," Andrea said.
"Yeah. Did you hear, since we can't do the camping trip Sirius's family is letting him have a sleep over! He's inviting everyone sometime in the summer," Anya said.
"Really. Well, I get to spend a summer with James Potter," I said, throwing some clothes into my chest.
"Careful, don't hit me," Jenna said, walking into the room from the bathroom, her hair in a towel.
"Sorry," I said.
"It's okay. Don't forget your shampoo, it's still the shower," Jenna said, walking over to her bed.
"Thanks," I answered, and went to get it.

The next morning, everyone stood on the platform, waiting to get on the train. Netta was finding us a compartment while we waited.
"Ok! I found one!" she cried from the window not too far from us.
We waved back, and started to the train. We met Netta at the compartment door, and went inside.
"Finally, I can sit," I said, and sat down next to the window.
"Hey, how come you get the window seat?" Anya growled, sitting next to me, and smirk on her face.
"What? What are you smiling about? What do you know that we don't?" I asked, turning to face her.
"Jenna made me promise not to tell," Anya answered.
"I'll let you have the window seat! Please tell me! Please! Please!" I begged, making a puppy dog face.
"I can't tell you the most. She made me promise, and said if you find out she will kill me, if They don't first," Anya said.
"Who's They? Please, tell me?" I asked.
"No. Jenna was so afraid They were going to kill her she was studdering the whole time," Anya said.
"Tell me, at least," Andrea said.
Anya leaned over to whisper it in Andrea's ear. I leaned over to listen, but Anya knew what I was doing, and pushed me back in a quick movement. I fell back onto my seat, and sat there, my arms crossed.
Andrea giggled, and Anya whispered it to Netta, who's eyes went huge, and she giggled.
"At least tell me what it was about," I asked.
"Nope, sorry, Lil'. We can't," Andrea said.
"That's not fair. I'm going to protest, remember that!" I cried, sitting back and crossing my arms.
"We'll remember, but we still won't tell you," Netta said, grinning immensly, obviously happy.
"Thanks, Net', and I thought you guys were my friends," I said.
"Don't worry, we still are," Anya answered.
The door slid open. James, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter stood there. Peter was looking a little dull, and Remus was more like he was trying to stop Sirius and James. But the two of them looked completely happy.
Andrea fell out of her seat, and we all turned to look at her.
"You ok, Andrea?" I asked.
"Fine, thanks. What... do... you...guys... want?" she asked, gulping between every word.
"We just found out Snape and Malfoy are trying to get back at us. We've..." James started.
"They've," Remus corrected.
James rolled his eyes, and continued, "Fine, Sirius and I have made a plan, but we need a little help from you four."
"What?" I asked.
James whispered the plan to us. My eyes were wide in joy when he was done. Anya was jumping in glee, but we were all ready.
"Ok, ready to get going?" James asked.
"'Course. First, where is their compartment? We might need to know that," I said.
"Under control. We'll be in the cabin across the hall. Peter is going to find their cabin," James said.
"Yeah, he's smaller than the rest of us, so he'll work out," Sirius said.
James nudged him in the stomach, making Sirius' eyes go wide.
"Ok, that sounds fine," Andrea said.
"Come, on, Sirius," James said, dragging Sirius into the compartment across from us.
Our door shut, and the four boys went into their compartment. We sat back and waited. We heard a little sound, but when we opened the door a little mouse was scurrying down the hall.
"That's strange. I didn't know there were mice on this train," Andrea said, biting her lip.
"Probably someone's pet. But there aren't a whole lot of people down here," I said, and we closed the door.
After a few minutes, the door opened again, and the boys stood there, grinning emmensly.
"Did you find them?" I asked.
"Yep. They are in the third carrige, fifth comapartment from this side," Sirius said.
"What are we doing?" Anya asked.
"One of us is going to make a distraction, to lure them from their compartment, and then we will go in an plant dungbombs everywhere," James said, taking a bag out from behind his bag.
"Nice. But isn't that a little dull, even for you?" I asked.
"Oh no! James, she's right! We need something else! Really quick!" Sirius cried, a look of horroh on his face.
I stifled a giggle.
"How about... No, we've done that. I got it! We will take their socks, make a flag from them. Then take it, and when we get to the station, we hang from our window!" James said.
"I guess that would work," I muttered.
"Who's going to cause the distraction?" Anya asked, looking among us for someone to volunteer.
"Lily could. Severus thinks she's, this is a direct quote, 'Ok for a Mudblood'. Right?" James said.
"No, I couldn't. They are too used to me being a distraction," I said, shrugging.
"True. Wait right there, we'll be back in a minute," James said, and gathered the boys together.
"Ok, we have a distraction. Now, are you ready? We are going to wait in the comapartment two down from them, it's empty," James said.
We all walked down the train, and stood in the compartment. James and Sirius pushed Peter out.
Moments later there was a scream, and footsteps running outside. We opened the door. Tep Coret, a friend of Malfoy and Snape, ran out of the compartment.
"Coret! Get back here!" Snape yelled, walking away from the compartment.
Malfoy followed them out, and James nodded. We walked into the compartment. It was empty, except for their chests.
"Great. They keep their socks on the top! That's a bonus," Sirius said, and started taking them out.
James started to plant the dungbombs everywhere, and we grabbed the socks. Remus stood guard, and nodded at us. That meant they were coming back. We closed the chest, dumped the socks in the now empty bag, and ran from the compartment back to our original ones.
"Great. You guys can weave, right?" James asked us.
"A little. Why, do we have to weave them together?" I asked, looking at the socks.
"Yeah, after we enlarge them," Sirius said, and took out his wand and did the charm.
While the boys got the pole ready, we weaved the socks together, into a single flag.
"Great work. Now, let's sign it," James said.
At the bottom we wrote From JSRP and LANA. At the top were the words Property of S. Snape, Property of L. Malfoy, and Property of T. Coret.
"Look, we are pulling in," Andrea said, looking out the window.
"Great. Come on," I said.
We pulled the window open (with great difficulty) and managed to make the flag stay put as we pulled into the station. Some people were laughing, but we had already left our compartment and was pushing towards the doors.
"Like our work?" I asked when we stood in line to get to the Muggle World.
"Yeah, it's wonderful. Wonder how they like it," Sirius said, motioning to Malfoy, Snape, and Coret, who were trying to get the flag down.
"I think they like it," I said.
We walked up to the barrier, and walked through to the Muggle World.

Author's Notes- This is a little bit shorter, but it's only because I didn't know what to write. MWPP doesn't already exist (Moony, Wormtalk, Padfoot, and Prongs), and no one knows about their plan because, again, it is in Lily's POV. Um, I kinda messed up, so forget about the mouse! It's meaninless! Come back for the next chapter, and R&R!
