Lily gasped for breath, she'd been running for quite a while. The bright sunlight made her wince and hold one hand over her eyes like a visor. The field before the forbidden forest stretched out like an emerald carpet. Lily's breath caught as she remembered the strange woman she'd met previously. *"I will come to you another time and tell you about the amulet..."* the words echoed eerily across Lily's mind. Determination gripped Lily *I must find that woman and discover the truth about that amulet!* she thought, marching towards the forest. Feeling as if she were being watched, Lily came to her senses. Pretending to strolling along nonchalantly, she slowed her pace and began to hum under her breath. Glancing around once more Lily sprinted for the forest and disappeared within the dense foliage...

James scrambled after the mysterious figure, every fiber in his body tingling with anticipation. *Who is this creep?!* he wondered, dashing up a staircase. He could only just see the shadow of the James look alike, * Dammit! I'm gonna lose him!* James thought, in one swift movement he lounged at the boy and grabbed him around the knees, causing him to trip and fall to the ground. James grunted, stone had never been soft, and he expected it would never be soft. Rolling the groaning figure over James gasped...

Lily grumbled as yet another branch swiped at her face. "Ouch!" she exclaimed as a thorn pricked her finger, drawing blood. Lily examined the victim finger; blood had oozed out, creating a dome like pool of blood. She sighed and gently sucked on her finger, the pain slowly easing off. Not discouraged for long, Lily continued to struggle through the dense leaves and slender branches. Suddenly the vegetation tapered off, leaving Lily in an open clearing. In the very center of the clearing lay a pool of crystal clear water. Lily eyed it catiously and hunched over it, dipping her finger in. A rustling of the leaves forced her to look up, there stood the woman. She bent down on the other side of the pool and touched the surface with one finger...a rapidly forming blue mist soon surrounded them and Lily yanked her finger from the water. Blinking, Lily glanced around, she was no longer in the same clearing, but in a large cavern. Lily placed a tenative finger on the wall, it was smooth, not only that, Lily noted, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness she saw that the cavern glittered. It was as if someone had captured all the stars in the sky, minimized them, and set them in the cavern walls. Lily gasped, it was gorgeous.
"It's lovely, isn't it?" the woman remarked, coming up behing her.
Lily jumped, "Ah-yes, it is, but where are we?"
the woman smiled and offered her hand, "Come with me and you shall soon seen the reason for my bringing you here..." Lily placed her hand in the woman's and let herself be led deeper within the cavern.
"What is your name?" Lily questioned, staring at the woman.
"I think you already know...but if I must assure you, my name is Elana. I am the spirit that protects the Amulet of Hogwarts..." Elana answered, leading her to a dark chamber with a glowing center piece. Lily gasped, her eyes locked on Elana.
"It-it can't be! It doesn't make sense, it's just a fairy tale!" Lily protested, though it was in vain...for the in center lay a glass case, and within the case lay a amulet of pale blue diamond...
