            Lily woke up screaming, drenched with cold sweat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chap. 2 Understanding~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Arabella Figg, Lily's best friend and only roommate, came running over to Lily's bed.

            "Are you ok, you woke up screaming, and I didn't know what to think, oh my god are you ok?" Lily could tell that she was panicking.

            "Where's James, I need to talk to him" Lily said urgently. As though he had heard her, James walked through the door. Lily looked at him, he was alive, and that was one a good thing. She sighed.

            "Are you ok, I heard you in the guys dormitory?" he asked, genuine concern crossed his features.

            "I had a bad dream, that's all." She lied. It had been more than just a bad dream, it had seemed, so real. James looked like he didn't believe her, but accepted the answer. Quietly he left the room, and Bella went back to her own bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            James walked down to the Great Hall, along with Sirius and Remus. (A/N I don't like Peter so he is not in the story.) He spotted Bella and Lily down near the end of the table. He wondered if Lily was ok now, from her dream and all. The three slowly made their way over to them. As soon as Remus sat down, girls swarmed. Sirius and James laughed at him; he was the only single one of the three.

            "HEY GIRLS, THERES A NEW GUY, HES REALLY HOT, OVER IN THE QUIDDITCH FIELD!" Lily shouted over all the girls' high-pitched voices. Remus gave her a look of thanks and returned to his meal.

            "Hey where's my good morning kiss?" Lily asked with the puppiest of all puppy dogfaces (a/n lame I know). He looked at her as if she was crazy.

            "How the hell can you be so full of energy in the morning?" he asked her, but gave her a quick kiss.

            "What's our first class?" Sirius asked.

            "Charms, transfiguration, potions, lunch, free period then history of magic." Bella said all in one breath.

            "I asked what we had first, not the whole bloody day!" he muttered. She glared at him.

            Later that day as Lily was picking up her things from potions, when she started thinking about her dream again. It didn't really make any sense. She was going to ask the potions teacher about it. She walked up to her desk and patiently waited for her to stop talking to another student.

            "Miss Thomas, can I ask you something?" she asked.

            "Anything Lily, what seems to be bothering you?" the teacher asked. Miss Thomas was Lily's favorite teacher, and Lily was her favorite student.

            "Well you see, the other night I had this really strange dream…" and Lily told her the events of the dream, including names.

            Miss Thomas looked thoughtful for a moment, and then it dawned on her. She looked at Lily with pity in her eyes.

            "Dear, I really hate to tell you this, but that wasn't an ordinary dream, it was more like a vision of the future." She said trying to make it so she didn't really have to explain. Lily looked confused.

            "You mean that's really going to happen?" Lily asked not wanting to believe it. Miss Thomas nodded. Lily thanked the teacher and left.

"Oh shit!" Lily exclaimed as she left the classroom. Lily then went in search of somewhere she could sit and think.
