Title: Time And Again By: GaiNax *coughs* annchanLast Time: "2 letters? I'd like to meet this guy myself even though the consequences are you know … quite bad. Are you sure this is from the same person, Lily?" She smiled brightly at her friend.
"I don't think so. The penmanship is quite different. " She studied the two letters closely. "The first letter looks like Sirius' hand-writing." Knowing that Narcissa having a crush on him and every other living guy, she shut up. "Oh. Sirius. I think you should go meet him and tell him off! He knows how dangerous this is. And he knows I like him … he's such a …"
"Don't say it! It's not true. I'm not going to meet him. If it makes you feel better, I think I'll go with mystery guy number 2, just to be on the safe side and your good side." She smiled and wore a nice crimson colored dress robe.
"You look très magnifique." Narcissa giggled. "You better hurry for dinner. You don't want to keep mystery guy number 2 waiting for you all night long." They both hurried to the Great Hall.
When she entered, all eyes were on her. She did look très magnifique. She quickly sat down and everyone returned to what they were doing but a pair of eyes were still staring at her. Harry's.
After dinner, she noticed two people leave at the same time. James and Harry. 'Hmm… wonder if one of them is mystery guy # 2'
She hurried up the stairs to the library. When she reached the library she saw …
Chapter 5: Uh Oh!
Filch!!! Of all the people she could've encountered … why did it have to be Filch.
"Ms.Evans, nice to see you here, even when going to the library after hours is NOT permitted. I'm sure you have a nice explanation for this hmm… Ms.Evans?" Filch said in his sadistic tone of voice.
"Well you see Mr. Filch sir, I was just heading for the library to get a book which I need to finish tomorrow's homework, you see, I was busy doing my other homework, I totally forgot about this one." She smiled. 'I can't tell him that I'm off looking for a 'so-called' secret admirer.'
"Nice try. People have been having their 'secret rendezvous' in the library and there was a boy waiting there. I just sent him back to his room."
"Um… Mr. Filch sir, who was the boy?"
"I'm actually quite embarrassed, to tell you the truth, I don't know his name. He must be new to this school." He stuttered. 'Ha ha ha' she thought 'Filch doesn't know anything' she laughed.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" he growled.
"Oh Nothing…" She quickly walked away… smiling at the thought that Draco-Harry actually likes him and he's not doing it because he has a grudge against James.

"LILY!" She looked back. After last night, she forgot to pay any attention to what's actually happening in real life. "Yes … what do you want James?"
"Didn't you get my note yesterday? I told you to meet me by the lake."
"It was from you? I'm sorry … I thought it was from Sirius, I mean the handwriting and all." She looked a little flushed.
"I … uh … asked Sirius to write it for me since you know my writing. You weren't there." He looked angry. Who wouldn't? He got rejected so many times already. She placed her hand on his shoulder. "Listen James … I said I'd give you a chance and I like your poem but it's true 'Our time is not now'. Soon …" She quickly moved away when Draco-Harry arrived.
"Hi Potter … Lily." He grinned. "Sorry if I wasn't in the library last night, Lily, Filch sent me back to my room." Draco-Harry smiled and went in the Great Hall.
"You went looking for him, a slytherin, instead of me?" Now he's really angry.
She turned away. "You don't understand … I…" Well they were interrupted by the other members of the Marauders. "Looks like your groupies are here… talk to you later." She ran into the Great Hall with out looking back.
"Is something wrong James?" Remus asked quietly. "I've been rejected once again by Lily." They all comforted him on their way to the Great Hall.
"You really shouldn't take that crap from some Slytherin." Remus stabbed his fork on the half cooked sausage on his plate and stuffed into his mouth.
"He's right. You're a much better catch than he could ever be. Lily will soon realize that and leave that prat." Peter watched as Remus and Sirius went on and on about how stupid Lily's being. All the while plotting on how he could escape Hogwarts to go see his master. Voldemort. 'This is going to be easier than I thought. With Harry ruining things between Lily and James … it'll be a piece of cake.'
"You shouldn't take that crap from James! He's an idiot anyways." Narcissa pushed away her bowl of cereal. "I don't think he should get mad over some guy. But I still think Slytherin's are evil. Even though most of them are hot." She looked at her friend who was staring at her cereal. 'What do I do? My best friend is mad at me … but for once the guy who likes me isn't a player or has some evil scheme just to get back at James.' She rubbed her temples.
"Earth to Lily? Are you there? I don't like talking to myself."
Lily blinked. "Oh sorry Narcissa. I was just…"
"Daydreaming?"
"No … just thinking about stuff."
She slapped her friends back. "Not to worry, your problem is experienced by everyone … trust me. If two guys like you, you pick the hotter one." Her mind wandered off to Sirius.
"That's not my problem. My problem is that … my best friend is hurt… by me."
"Exactly … Severus is my best friend and I picked Sirius over him."
She looked at her friend with curiosity. "What do you mean you picked Sirius over Sev? Sirius doesn't even like you …" Her friend frowned at the thought of her best friend saying something like that. "Lily … I thought you're my friend." Tears formed in her eyes. "Why would you say something like that? I know he doesn't feel anything for me … but you don't have to say it." She stormed off to her room.
'What have I done?' Lily, ashamed of what she's done, walked out of the Great Hall looking down on the floor. 'I shouldn't have said that to her.' Lily headed to her room and stared at herself in the mirror. 'What have I become? First I ditched my best guy friend and now I just dissed my best girl friend.' She sat there, not moving. She does have 30 more minutes until her first class starts.
She took her stuff and headed for potions. She had to walk with a couple of Gryffindors in case you-know-who might attack. She sighed and sat next to Draco-Harry. "Hi Harry." She smiled.
"Lily, why aren't you sitting with your own … people?" He saw James glaring at him. 'What is she trying to do? Get me killed before my evil master plan works? Potters always ruin everything.'
"I-I just think that they wouldn't want me around … after what happened."
"You mean between you and my- 'almost said mom' "Narcissa? I heard. Everyone's talking about it."
"Oh…" Lily frowned. Potions class was over and so the day went by quick. Slytherin's, except Draco-Harry, have ignored Lily, well … they sneered at her a lot though. Not a happy thought.
After dinner, she was headed back to the common room. Even though they're mad at her too, for what she did to James. She felt someone tap her shoulder. It was Draco-Harry. He couldn't let her walk alone … at a night like this. "Lily … don't worry … the whole thing will blow over way before I have to leave." She looked back at the boy. "Leave? Why do you have to leave?"
"I have to leave the day after tomorrow. I must go back home." 'And that doesn't leave me a lot of time to her away from James … forever' "It's because I realized my parents have enrolled me in another school, so I'll be leaving soon."
"Well … ok then. I'll see you tomorrow" She said goodbye to him as they reached the Gryfinndor portrait.
Draco-Harry quickly headed for the Slytherin common room. He reached his room and tried reading 'The History of Hogwarts' to keep his mind of Lily. He's actually beginning to like her… not just for 'getting revenge on the Potters' purposes. Unfortunately he had fallen asleep.
It was a beautiful day. It was also a very beautiful garden. Filled with white flowers, white chairs, white bows hung on fences … looks like a wedding. Two people stood in front of the altar. 'Who are they?' Draco-Harry stood there watching them. The 'man' turned around … 'It's me… and … don't tell me … Pansy? Disgusting pug-faced Pansy?' the woman turned around … it was…
A/N: Who is she? I wonder… please review and wait for chapter 6.
