Sealed By Fate - Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I have no intention of profiting from this story. JK Rowling owns James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans. I own the Plot, and Katharine Farrell.
Author Notes: Lily Evans has her day all planned out. Until something happens she didn't expect at all. She bumps into James Potter.

"Um, yeah. That was me." Lily said, staring at her mug of foaming butterbeer.
James nodded, not saying anything. He glanced sideways at Lily and caught her staring at him. He flashed her a grin. "It's ok. I'm actually glad you knocked me over."
Lily smiled slightly, and looked over to see Katherine laughing as Sirius told her a joke. Remus was idly playing with the straw paper on the table, and James was staring at her intently.
"So, tell me a bit about yourself." James said, moving a bit closer to her.
Lily thought for a moment then responded with, "I'm a prefect, my best subject is charms, and I love to read."
"Cool. I play quidditch on the Gryffindor team. I'm the seeker." he said.
Lily nodded, and took a sip of her butterbear. It warmed her insides, from her head to toes. She shivered slightly at the warmth that was either radiating off of her drink or James.
Outside, the snow was falling clear and white, dancing across the inky black sky. The winter holidays were coming in two days and the whole of the Hogwarts students were out, doing their shopping, or just visiting the various local sights in the village.
Lily looked to her right and saw Katherine giggling as Sirius was telling her a joke. Lily smiled. She was glad she bumped into James, and they met up at the Three Broomsticks. She glanced at her watch and saw the time.
"Oh my gosh! I have my Astronomy report to finish, and we have class tonight! C'mon, Katy!" she said, grabbing her friend by the arm and pulling her out of the booth.
Katherine struggled to adjust her skirt, and say goodbye to Sirius. "Wait, Lily! When will I see you again?" James called to her retreating back.
Lily whirled around. "I'll be at the masquerade ball. Meet me outside the Great Hall at seven!" she called back to him. Then walked out of the building.

"Lils! Why'd you do that? We were having a great time with them, and you were really starting to loosen up and have some fun." Katherine said, on their way back to the castle.
"Because, I have my Astronomy report to finish, and I don't think you finished yours yet." Lily declared, opening the door.
"Actually I did. And I planned on having a good time tonight, because all my work was caught up and I could relax until the holidays." Katy said, slightly tripped on the stairs.
"I'm sorry. We can meet up with them at the masquerade ball." Lily said.
"'Griffe de Raven.'" Katherine told the portrait. They entered a large room, with deep carved marble fireplaces, blue armchairs in all shades, painted a palette of a darkening sky across the deep mahogany hardwood floors. Carved bookcases with intricate patterns and witty quotes lined the walls.
Lily flopped down on a deep blue couch near the main fireplace and pulled out her books from under the chair. Everyone in the Ravenclaw common room seemed to have a set place where they could leave their books and no one would upset it.
Katherine started to sit down, but stood back up again. "I'm going to go out again. I'll see you later." she called.
Lily rolled her eyes and set to work on her Astronomy essay. She already had four feet, which was the required amount, but she wanted to tweak it a bit.
The common room slowly trickled with emptiness, until Lily was the only one left. She glanced at her watch. It was 12:42 AM. Katherine still wasn't back. Lily was starting to get worried about her friend, when she burst in, doing a reggae version of 'It's Raining Men.'
On the last chorus, of 'Alleluia, Alleluia!', Lily finally got Katherine to sit down and shut-up. She muttered a spell, and got Katherine back to consciousness. She had passed out after 'Alleluia.' "Katherine! Katherine!" she said, trying to snap her friend into reality.
"Oh, heya Lils. You've got mighty purty hair. It's looks like a fire! And, and, your eyes are nice too!" Drunken Katherine said.
"Katherine! Snap out of it." Lily said, lightly slapping her cheeks. Katherine moaned groggily and sat up.
"Oh, my head. What happened?" she asked, rubbing her temples. Lily zapped up a cold compress and handed it to her friend. "That's what I'd like to know. What do you remember?"
"I was at the Three Broomsticks, with Sirius and James, and we were having butterbeers. Then we left and went to this club down the road, at the back of some shop. It was cool, until some gut gave me a drink. That's all I remember." she said.
Lily stood up and helped her friend up. "C'mon, we have Astronomy in a few minutes, let's get you cleaned up."
