Chapter 4: Dreams or nightmares
A few days after her friends had left, Lily was sitting by the pool in her back yard, listening to the radio and reading one of her favorite books 'King Arthur'. She heard footsteps on the gravel and someone cleared his throat. "Erm.Lily can I talk to you?" The voice of none other then James Potter said. "Why?" Lily said as she turned a page. "Because.well I.erm." He shuffled his feet on the ground, searching for the words. "Yes?" Lily said putting her book down. "It's just.I need to.well apologize.for everything." Lily dropped her book and stared at him. He looked her in the eye and with new courage he continued, "I'm sorry Lil. I just want to start over again, as friends."
Lily just stared into his eyes for a few moments. "You mean it?" He nodded and she smiled. "Well then Potter, I accept your apology." He grinned at her. "Thanks Lil. I can call you Lil or Lils right?" Lily snorted, "As if you wouldn't if I said you couldn't." They both laughed. "Promise me one thing though James." "And that is?" "Promise that you wouldn't misuse my friendship towards you." "I promise if you will promise it back." Lily smiled. "I promise James."
They talked during the rest of the day until it was getting late and James had to go to dinner. "I'll see you tomorrow Lil, dad will be taking us to Diagon Alley then. Be at our house at 11 AM." "Ok James, see you then." She picked up her book and left for the house.
That night Lily was heaving trouble sleeping, every time she fell asleep she saw a bright green light. She was tossing and turning for a few hours before she fell asleep and had a fitful dream.
A man with silver hair and beard and blue twinkled eyes was walking with a blanked wrapped bundle. He laid it down on the doorstep of a house. It was a baby with a scar on his forehead. "This letter will tell them what they need to know Minerva." The man said. "How can you say that everything is explained in a letter Albus? His parents just died, Lily, James, both dead." A woman with squire glasses said.
Lily woke up with a start. 'What was that? How could I have dreamed that?' She thought to herself. 'Maybe I should tell somebody? Maybe I can tell James? No he would think I'm just pulling a fast one on him.' she shook her head and lay down again.
