Remembering James: Chapter 10: Lily Has ANOTHER Ring, A Magic One
After Lily was done helping Angie with homework, it was time for dinner. They walked down together but when arriving down to the great hall, Angie rushed over to the seat her friends saved her and Lily sat at her seat at the head table. When she sat down Dumbledore spoke, "Ah, Lily you have arrived. You are late but the important thing is that you are here." Dumbledore turned to McGonagall, "Minerva, is that everyone?" McGonagall nodded, and Dumbledore spoke again to Lily, " Lily I have already discussed this with the rest of the staff and it is important that you, especially you, know.
Lily looked at Dumbledore in confusion, "Know what, may I ask, Professor?"
"Yes you may ask and what you need to know is that of concerning Voldemort. Earlier this evening when everyone was elsewhere, one of the house-elves, Loopy, was tending to the fires in the Hufflepuff common room when she noticed someone in a dark cloak descending the stairs of the girls dormitory. Immediately, Loopy alerted me, but her short little legs can only carry her so far so quickly and because of that, the someone that Loopy saw that is believed to be a death eater has escaped the Hogwarts grounds. We even used the marauders' map from Filch's office to see if this someone was still on the grounds at all. The someone had apparently gotten enough time to just slip away."
Lily was stunned, "Have the students been told yet?"
"No, not at the moment, but Loopy's best friend is Linky and we all know how Linky has a tendency to blurt out things not intended for blurting. "
Lily smiled because after the past few months she had come to know Linky all too well, and knew that Dumbledore was correct. And what kind of person, or house elf for this matter, wouldn't tell their best friend all sorts of interesting things, whether rumor or fact.
Then Lily remembered that Dumbledore had said that this information was especially important to Lily, "Professor, One more thing?"
"Yes, Lily?"
"Why is this so important to me of all people, other than the fact of being a teacher and living here, but so do all the other staff members..."
"Well you see Lily, It is more than one thing. The first is that James has been appointed to the situation at Hogwarts and will be working here for the remainder of the school year or until our problems with Voldemort and death eaters have been sorted out. I understand young love is difficult to restrain but if you two could please try to restrain yourselves most of the time. Another thing is that you behold a very powerful possession. That possession is a ring that the three stones are such a beautiful color never seen in nature elsewhere that it simply cannot be described. It is on a white gold setting, and I believe you received from your mother before her death. I know that this is one of the few things you remember Lily, so do not even bother trying to deny it. I know, also that you believe that ring to be of muggle origin but I am telling you know that it is not. It is not the time or place for you to learn of its true origin, not just yet. What is it important about that ring is that you keep it on at all times never taking it off, never letting it out of your sight. Voldemort is after that ring as it contains powers that no human, muggle or magical, can explain it. I suggest you eat, Miss Evans."
Lily took this as a signal as to finish her dinner and that the conversation was officially over.
Lily went back up to her room thinking about what Dumbledore had said. How would her mother get a ring like that to begin with? And why would Voldemort want hers? There had to be more than ONE in this entire world. When Lily reached her bedroom, she immediately ran over to her jewelry box and started digging through it. The ring wasn't where it normally was. She was relieved to see that it had only fallen to bottom. The ring looked a little different than she remembered but she figured that was because she was so much younger when she actually really looked good at the ring. That was beside the point, it was the ring and she needed to put it on. She was a little nervous since it had such great powers and she had never actually worn the ring before, just looked it on. She slowly slipped it on her right hand ring finger. She had it on and nothing felt any diff---She was out.
Inside her head, like in a dream but it felt more real than any dream she had ever had, she was waking up in a clearing of a forest. It looked to be about 10 in the morning. She stood up looking around herself and all she saw was trees. It looked exactly the same in every direction and she didn't know where to turn. She decided to just sit on a rock in the clearing for a moment when she heard a scream. All of the birds in a nearby tree flew up and to another tree on the opposite side of the clearing. Lily stood up and ran towards the tree where the birds had originally sat and the scream. She ran through the forest until she stopped behind a tree and peeked around to see someone in a dark hooded cloak standing over a lifeless body. Accidentally, Lily's foot moved and a crunch noise was heard from the leaves. The cloaked figure turned towards the sound and spotted Lily. He raised his want and started to shout, "Avad---" But before the person could finish the curse, Lily did the only thing she could think of, she took off the ring.
She woke up lying in the hospital wing. It was late morning and she was glad to see some familiar faces standing over her. There was Dumbledore and Remus and James and some of her other friends, but where was Sirius? She thought that this was strange but that it was best to just not make a big deal of it. James was here because; well he was James and was working at Hogwarts. Remus not only assigned to Hogwarts but to the hospital wing. Lily knew that Sirius hadn't been appointed along with his friends to Hogwarts and was probably busy, so she left it at that.
Lily found out that someone by the name Professor Starr was teaching her class for the time being. James was taking guard in the entrance and great hall and Remus was in the hospital wing so Remus was in a way James and Lily's messenger boy. He didn't mind though. By two weeks Dumbledore figured that Lily would be stable enough to teach again. He did tell her that he was going to need to borrow the ring because there was something strange about what it had done to Lily.
