Hey everybody! Here is the second chapter! I know, I know, I haven't update in a looooooong time! I had an enormous writer's block. And then, suddenly, an evil plot bunny went after me and wouldn't stop bugging me until I wrote at least a chapter. I couldn't do anything but listen to it. You know, it was one of those evil, horrible and scary plot bunnies. All pink and fluffy. It scares you doesn't it? ^^

Anyway, I'm sorry if there isn't much dialogue or action in this chapter, but I just want to get to the part where Lily is at Hogwarts!

Disclaimer: My name is J.K Rowling and I own Harry Potter…

Seriously (shut up Sirius! Honestly, kids these days…) do you really believe me? I hope not, 'cause if you do, you're pretty weird! ^ ~

Story time!

**********

After Dumbledore's visit, Lily's life changed drastically. She couldn't just pretend she was normal, well a normal witch, anymore. After all, she was the Crystal witch, whatever that was. Dumbledore had explained to her the little bit he knew about them, but it really wasn't much. For now, she knew that she could do wandless magic and that she could explore the mind of others, even if she didn't even know how to do it.

The one thing she had realized over the last two weeks was that she couldn't be near her loved ones anymore. She couldn't even bear the thought to lose them, and that was probably going to happen if she stayed with them. Voldemort wanted her, and would have done everything to have her, including his favorite pastime, killing. That's why Dumbledore had owled her and proposed her a place at Hogwarts. That way, her family and friends would be saved from the dark lord, and Dumbledore could protect her.

Lily hadn't told her parents she was leaving them yet. It was probably going to be the worst thing she was gonna have to do, even worse than breaking up with William, her long time boyfriend. She didn't even want to communicate with her parents anymore. It was too risky. She wanted them safe. Dumbledore had told her she could still owl them, but she had responded that she liked better not talking to them instead of getting them killed.

So there she was, telling her parents she was going away, that they better forget that she even existed, because they would probably never see her again, or at least not see her in a long time. Her mother and sister were crying, while her father and brother hugged her tightly saying she didn't have to do this. Lily had nothing to say except that it was better that way, while wiping a few of her own tears away.

Lily left her childhood behind that day, with an old, used boot. What's with that old boot? Well, it was a portkey to the Leaky Cauldron, where Lily was going to stay for the remaining week of the summer. 'It's amazing how time flies when you're crying all the time', thought Lily bitterly. However, that week wasn't going to be spent crying. Lily had thought of a good way to keep everyone in her new school safe. That meant a good way to keep everyone in her new school away from her.

She was going to transform into a ditzy bitch. That way, nobody would want to come close to her. That week was her one and only chance to accomplish that task. 'At least I know what I want to become' thought Lily, referring to the ditz she had known at Salem Academy. She really didn't want to be like them, but she didn't want to be a nerdy bookworm either, so there wasn't much choice left.

She began her transformation on the second day. She went to a nearby bookstore and searched for a book with spells to change her appearance. She hoped against hope that none of her future classmates would see her before her transformation, and amazingly, no one paid attention to her. Well, no one paid attention to her until she came back to the Leaky Cauldron with "101 ways to be more like me" in hand. It was the book she had found and it certainly would be perfect for her. It had been written by a blonde bimbo and contained everything Lily needed for her project.

Anyway, back to the principal story. When Lily entered the old and dark pub, a group of boys immediately noticed her. She would later learn that they went by the name of the marauders and that they were Hogwarts famous pranksters.

"Hey! Who are you?" asked James Potter "I can't remember seeing you in Hogwarts."

'Lily, think fast!" thought Lily. Finally, she came up with a good enough excuse. She didn't want them to know her before her makeover.

"I iz a student from Beaubâtons Académie. My couzin iz going to Hogwarts, and je suis here with her." Said Lily, taking a French accent. She had learned French when she was little and she now spoke it easily. She didn't know if that little act could fool the marauders, but she sure hoped.

"Okay then, but it's a shame a beauty like you isn't going to Hogwarts." Said a blue-eyed boy named Sirius Black. He even winked at her for good measure.

Lily blushed a little and then waved at the boys before going up where the hotel part of the Leaky Cauldron was where her own room was located. Once inside her room, she closed her door and leaned on it, letting out a huge sigh. She had been so afraid her actress talents wouldn't fool them.

'Time to become a ditz!' thought Lily unexcitedly. She clearly didn't want to, but had to nonetheless. She spent all her evening learning spells to change her appearance. When she was finished, she had blonde hair and a bigger chest than before. In her initial plan, she was going to change completely, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She still wanted to be at least a little the true Lily. Most of all, she didn't want to change her eyes.

However, Lily knew she had to do it. Her eyes were her most recognizable feature. There are not a lot of people out there with eyes as deep, as soulful and as green. There wasn't even a fleck of blue or brown in them. They were purely green. Lily tried to change their color to blue, but although she was a very powerful witch, the spell just wouldn't work. Her eyes had a mind of their own, and they didn't want to be changed.

It was that night that she learned exactly what was her power of exploring the mind of others. She had already done wandless magic, but it was the first time another one of her powers showed up. She knew, somewhere deep down inside, that she had much more powers, but that they didn't show themselves. There hadn't been a lot of Crystal witches in history and when there had been, there always was a dark lord to kill them. Crystal witches only appeared in time of need, to help the light side. If they worked for the dark side, they would soon die, because it wasn't what they were meant to be.

Anyway, it was that night that she first explored a mind. She was sitting in the Leaky Cauldron, drinking a butterbeer when a suspicious wizard entered the pub. He had black hair and walked with his head down, looking as if he was hiding something. Sometimes he looked up and searched frantically for something or someone. The third time he did that, he looked Lily in the eyes.

At that same time she was asking herself what he was doing there and when their eyes met, a flow of images and thoughts overflowed in her mind. She then scanned everything and found a single thought; the one that said the men was hiding from deatheaters because they were after him. When Lily broke the eye connection a couple seconds later the men just shook his head and walked out of the pub.

'He didn't even know what happened, poor men.' Thought Lily.

She realized right then and there that she could be of great help to the minister of magic, being able to know everything that was going on by a single look. It was so easy for Lily. It was natural to just search into someone's mind and find whatever she was looking for. However, she didn't want to do it when she didn't need to, because it was like intruding somebody else's mind.

The day after, Lily began the rest of her transformation. Now that she had had a makeover, she neede the attitude. There were only five days left until the beginning of the year, and they were going to be precious time for Lily. Although she was a good actress, it was still going to be hard to be somedy else, someone she had never thought of being.

After the remaining five days had passed, Lily was ready for her new life. With a pink (she really hated that color, but hey, it fit with her new personnality) tank top cut low and a pair of jeans that rode extremely low on her hips, she walked out of the Leaky Cauldron and into the muggle world. That muggle world she wouldn't see for a long time, since she was going to King Cross station just now, with her stuff packed and magically reduced in her pocket.

'Hogwarts, here I come!' thought Lily before putting on a false smile on her face.
