"Why would someone be try to kill you?!" James asked.
"Yeah, why her…I mean the Dark Lord could have chosen someone else." Peter put in.
Remus looked like he was busy thinking. He kept on looking up and around as if trying to spot someone. But mostly it looked like he was pondering about something un-known to the others.
"What 'cha thinking about Remus?" Lily asked. She had had a tiny bit of a crush on him in 4th year, just before Serenity began to hate her.
"I was thinking about how all these things are connected. I think that Serenity, that friend of yours, works for Voldemort and is under his orders to kill you because of some un-known thing." Remus said thoughtfully. "Or, he wants you dead because you're some winner of Witch Weekly's 'Most Charming Smile Award'." He added this with a bit of humor.
"I think I could win that award." Sirius made a very bright smile that probably would have made a light bulb crack.
"I don't think so; I think with your smile you could win 'The Most Shitty Smile'." Lily replied and kept on thinking about it. "And it could be held once in Hogsmeade…"
"Now then," James started and looked anxiously at Lily. "Are you going to tell them what we saw the day we were about to prank the Slytherins?"
"I don't know if I should, I mean I don't trust Peter…" Lily suddenly felt un-comfortable.
"You trust me, don't you Lily Willy?" Sirius asked.
"Sort of," Lily stated. "But do you gossip?"
Sirius looked like that was a very hard question. He kept on scratching his head and tilting it sideways and kept on doing that for awhile. Finally, he looked at her and replied: "No, but unless it has something to do with Snape, I mean something funny."
Lily broke into a grin. "You know Sirius, I happen to know your worst enemy…" She trailed off and saw that she had gotten Sirius' attention.
"O, please tell me!!!" Sirius looked like Christmas had come early. "What do you know about Snape?"
"Well…we were friends in first year, but then we got into a huge fight and well…then we weren't friends anymore." Lily sighed and thought why she had just told him that.
Then they heard foot steps coming up to the Astronomy Tower. Lily soon heard that those were McGonagall's sharp, swift and light foot steps.
"Quickly! Those are McGonagall's footsteps!" Lily whispered and felt that she was panicking.
They rushed into a corner and James pulled something from inside his robe-it was a Invisibility Cloak!
As McGonagall's footsteps came into the tower, she looked around as if someone was hiding in the corner. As she looked around she muttered, "I could have sworn someone was here."
But soon she left and the 5 decided to go back to bed, or finally go to bed in the boys' case.
As they walked back Peter kept on stepping on Lily's foot and then she finally got fed up and hit him.
"Why'd you do that?" Peter asked silently crying.
"There was a mosquito on your arm." Lily said matter-of-faculty.
Sirius and James snickered.
"There was? I guess I didn't see it." Peter said sarcastically.
"Well there was!" Lily replied.
Then Peter hit her. As his hand came onto her skin and hit her, something happened and Peter quickly withdrew his hand.
"What did you do to your arm to make it hard?" Peter asked.
"What are you talking about?" Lily said looking confused.
"It was stone hard!" Peter said astonished.
James looked at Lily and realized what it might have been.
"Lily, do you think it might have been…?" James looked her and hoped she had gotten the hint.
"Maybe James, I'm not so sure." Lily touched her arm and made sure it wasn't stone hard as Peter had said. Making sure it alright she let it drop on her side and sighed.
As they came to the Gryffindor common room James took the cloak off and they went in. Lily said good night and was about leave, but James took her hand as she turned, James kissed her on the cheek and was gone in a flash.
Lily put her hand on her cheek and grinned a stupid smile and went to bed.

The next morning Lily woke up quickly, took a shower and dressed and went to breakfast quickly because she wanted to go to the library.
As she was eating breakfast, Sirius came in looking tired.
"Good morning," Lily said and left.
"What…?" Sirius looked up but saw no-one. "Was that a ghost?"
Lily ran to the library and noticed that it was almost time for Transfiguration, her first class on Thursday.
She went to the Restricted Section and made sure that no-one was looking. Lily pulled out a book that was called, "Dark Child"
"Bingo," She said and took the book out of the shelf and left quickly. Lily felt that this book might be the end to all problems.
During Transfiguration that morning, Lily could pay attention because she had that book in mind. She played around with her quill, doodled on her parchment but Lily was interrupted by McGonagall asking her a question.
"Ms. Evans, what are the most important items you must remember when you turn your self into an animal?"
Lily panicked, why hadn't she read her book last night?! She looked at the teacher in frustration.
"Well you should remember to er- register your self first, and…" Lily began inventing something.
"Ms. Evans, I think you should be paying more attention to class other then your parchment."
Soon after all of her classes, Lily went quickly to her dorm but soon saw that Serenity, Molly and Alyssa were there having a conversation.
"Yes, I know," Molly was blabbing.
"I mean Evans is so lucky because she has Potter following her around!" Alyssa said angrily and played with her hair.
"I can't believe master wants her! She isn't good at anything. Remember last year when we were doing that charm, and she blew up a chair?" Serenity snickered.
"That was hilarious!" The two girls laughed. " And she lit her hair on fire!"
Lily felt herself go red. That had been a total accident! She felt her self being dragged through her dorm door and into the room, feeling like she didn't belong there.
"Look here!" Alyssa said as Lily was dragging her self to her bed.
"Hi there moron!" Molly giggled.
"Get a life, can't you see that we're having a-"
"Yes I know you were socializing about me. " Lily said lamely.
Lily fell on top of her bed but stood up to close the curtains around her. Then she lay on her bed and began reading the book...
