Chapter 2
Lily walked into the Great Hall. "This is it," she thought, "I am finally going to get sorted." She took a deep sigh and walked up to the head table, "Professor Dumbledore. I'm Lily Evens, you said I would be sorted tonight since I arrived late."
The man looked over the top of his half-moon spectacles, "Indeed you are, May I have everyone's attention please, I have an announcement to make. I'm sure many of you have seen a young woman in some of your classes, Lily Evens has moved here from America and is starting her 5th year at this school, she was not able to be sorted last night because she only arrived early this morning, Professor McGonagall the sorting hat if you please."
The strict woman that Lily had seen earlier stepped forward holding a battered looking hat and sat it on a stool set next to the Head table. Lily sat down on the stool and placed the hat on her head, within a few very short minutes the hat screamed, "Gryffindor!" A loud cheer erupted over the entire Great Hall. Lily walked over and sat down next to three girls. "Angela," said a girl with long brown hair, "Nice to meet you," she added sticking out her hand. Lily accepted, "This is Macula," she said pointing to a girl with blond hair, "And this is Vanessa," she pointed to the third girl who had blond hair pulled up into a loose French braid.
That morning Lily woke up to find it was only 5 am, she groaned and rolled over, she had gotten next to no sleep that night because of the party the Gryffindor house had thrown. Lily got up and walked over to the bathroom, she pulled on a tank top and a pair of jogging shorts and threw her hair into a ponytail, Lily had gotten into the habit of jogging everyday before school to clear her head, and today she really needed it. Lily walked out of the bathroom and over to the door, "Lily?" Lily spun around, the voice belonged to a very sleepy looking Macula, "What are you doing up so early?"
"I'm going for a jog,"
Macula looked her up and down, "Not in that I hope."
Lily looked down at what she was wearing, "What's wrong with this?" she asked defensively.
"What's wrong with it is that you'll catch frostbite and never be able to wear that again, at least take a sweatshirt or something."
"I'll be fine," said Lily turning and opening the door.
"You're goin freeze your ass off!" Macula shouted at her back.
As soon as Lily stepped outside she understood that Macula had been right, she wouldn't have been surprised if it had started to snow right there and then. Lily started a slow pace and started off for the lake. She had been jogging for about ten minutes when one of the boys she had seen the other day jumped out of nowhere, causing Lily to scream and fall backwards into yet another one of the boys, "Jeez Lily, we really have to stop meeting like this," said the boy she had fallen on top off.
Lily looked into the face of the person she had fallen on, "James!" Lily turned a red so dark it gave her hair a run for its money, "I am so sorry! Here let me help you up." Lily then stood up and offered James her hand.
James however just chuckled, "Exactly what do you have to apologize for?"
Lily turned even redder, "I knocked you over."
James got up went over to the boy that had scared Lily and pushed him into the lake, then he turned around to face Lily, "That would have been knocking someone over." Lily laughed as the boy that James had pushed into the lake came up, "Prongs, what did you do that for?!?" he said amazingly calmly. James turned back to the kid in the water, "Sorry Padfoot, I was just trying to prove a point." "Next time you try and prove a point, would you kindly ASK ME FIRST!" James laughed and turned back to Lily who was shivering uncontrollably, "You must be freezing! Who let you out in that!?!" Lily tried to laugh but didn't succeed, "I'd be lying if I said Macula didn't warn me." James took off his cloak and slung it over Lily's shoulders, "Won't you be cold?" she asked lamely. James looked taken aback by this, "Who me? Of Course not! I'll be fine." "Thanks," said Lily as she snuggled into his cloak and pulled the collar up to her cheeks. Lily looked at the two boys, "How could they not be freezing?" she wondered, "One had just been pushed into an ice cold lake and the other doesn't have a jacket but neither seemed to mind."
"You Okay?" asked the boy she believed to be Sirius, who was now ringing out his shirt, "I didn't mean to scare you, well not that much anyway."
"I'm okay," said Lily with a light laugh, "Sirius right?"
"Nope," he said with a bow, "I'm Gilderoy Lockhart!" At this both boys burst out laughing, "Yeah, I'm Sirius."
"Yeah, I met that guy, Lockhart was it? Well anyway, he was hitting on me at dinner, I told him to leave me alone or I'd place a disfiguration charm on him, not that it would do much," said Lily with a smile. Both boys laughed at this, "James I have to go, do you want your cloak back?"
James shook his head; "You can give it back at breakfast." Lily smiled and headed back to her dorm.
As she neared the door she heard voices, "Vanessa! You can't put that there! Hell you can't even put that in our dorm!"
"And why not Angela? It's not like you don't want to see it."
"Vee, I have to agree with Ang, the picture goes,"
"Come on, Rebecca, (A/N- another roommate along with Christine) this is so unfair!"
"No what would be unfair would be me having to wake up to a picture of one of my friends looking like that!"
"IF YOU GUYS DON'T SHUT UP IN 5 SECONDS I AM GOING TO PERSONALLY TEAR DOWN THAT PICTURE AND STUFF IT DOWN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR THROATS!"
"Macula you can't still be sleeping."
Lily walked into the room and saw the scene that was in front of her, Chris was on her bed reading a magazine, Rebecca and Angela were both on Rebecca's bed arguing with Vanessa over a picture that was hanging over her bed, and Macula was trying to sleep, the picture that was in question was a blown up picture of Sirius Black doing a rather questionable thing. When Lily walked in Macula moved her feet to make room for her, "I was trying to sleep but it's a helpless cause, so looks like you weren't cold, how did you get a hold of James Potter's cloak?" said Macula with a smile. At the mention of one of the Marauders, Vanessa spun around to listen in, "Actually Lily, why don't you tell me about it during the half an hour break between 1st and 2nd period." Macula said looking at Vanessa. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily walked into the common room once first period had let out; when she arrived there Lily saw Macula sitting in the same seat she had occupied at last nights party, "So," said Macula looking at Lily, "Spill."
Lily looked around, "Where is everyone else?"
Macula just waved this off, "It all depends on the classes you take, see. Both of us are in advanced charms, so our class is first, while the others have Charms class second, so they have their half an hour before first class and we have it after. Now, how did you end up with James cloak?"
After Lily was finished telling Macula all about what had happened to her that morning Macula was shaking her head up and down, "This is good," she was saying to Lily, "This means he likes you as a friend and not as a, um how should I put this, well, not as a playmate, if you know what I mean."
"Why is it good that he likes me as a friend?"
"Because, Genius, if he likes you as a 'playmate' it usually means you date for about a week, he gets tired of you and tosses you for someone else, however if he likes you as a friend, if he falls for you even the littlest bit, he will keep his mouth shut, and THAT my friend is where all the fun is at."
A/N- So? How was it? Was it really bad, or just lame? PLEASE REVIEW! I won't sing or anything if u do I promise! Well, unless u want me to sing or something, cause I will, but only if u want me to!
