THE DEVIL WITH AN ANGEL'S FACE
Chapter Four: Weird Paper Thingy

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except the plot and some of the characters that you don't recognize.
Last night, when James was in bed with me, it felt like we were back in 3rd year.
In 3rd year, for about two months, he would come in to my dormitory, almost every night and we would talk for hours. We had a special relationship. He had told me that he liked me a lot, but he wasn't ready to have a girlfriend. I said that I understood (partly because I didn't have those kind of feelings toward him, but I didn't want to say that and jeopardise our relationship). Everything was fine between us until two weeks later. One night he didn't come to my room, but that didn't really bother me, because sometimes he would fall asleep before he could sneak out (no one knew about our late night chatting). We would act like nothing was going on between us during the day, so it was hard to get him alone. When I finally did, he would run away. I finally gave up when he started dating some bimbo. Then he started pulling pranks on me and I fought back.
It's hard to explain what I really feel for him. Sometimes it's hate, other times it's like. One thing I never feel for him is love. I only love Sirius. Which is weird because I only have been dating him for about 4 hours. But we have a connection, even more now, because we know what we are.
We walked into the Great Hall (Sirius and I), hand in hand. The chatter died down, then rose again as we sat down.
Remus and James smiled at us, but James had a kind of longing look in his eyes. Well, he could have had me, it's his own fault, I thought.
Malfoy walked into the Hall and saw Sirius and me. He walked towards us and opened his mouth, ready to say something. Then he stopped and started floating towards the ceiling. He started spinning around and around, screaming like a girl. Everyone in the hall was laughing at him, even the Slytherin table. Malfoy flipped over once more, his head faced toward the table and his underwear could been seen perfectly. Cute little boxers with teddy bears hugging each other and hearts around them. The whole hall roared with laughter.
He was still hanging there when the owls came in with the mail. That made it even funnier because the owls kept on knocking into him, making him shriek even more like a girl. When the last Owl had flown out of the Hall, I let him down. Right into Goyle's lap. As Malfoy was getting off of him two owls flew into the Hall and dropped three enormous balloons on Goyle's, Malfoy's and Crabbe's heads. I had no idea they were filled with paint.
The three ran out of the Great Hall with their arms over their heads and screaming like stupid gits.
Well, they are stupid gits.
Dumbledore (finally) stood up and said, 'Well, good show.' Everyone cheered at this and the Slytherin Head, "Professor" Wrightin, looked very offended. 'But,' he said (everyone became quiet again),'I will need to see Miss Evans in my office.' I nodded, trying to keep the smile off my face. I knew I wasn't going to get into trouble, he had that twinkle in his eye. But I knew I had to play along, so I tried to look solemn.
The chatter rose again gradually, Sirius said, 'Went a few days early, huh Lil?' I grinned. 'Sorry,' I said,' I couldn't resist.'
When people started to clear the hall, we got our schedules.
It wasn't so bad. DADA with Hufflepuff, Muggle Studies with Ravenclaw (I know I was raised in a Muggle household, but I needed an easy class) and Potions with. Hufflepuff! Thank god. If I ever have to see Malfoy's ugly sneering face again, I will scream!
We went to our first lesson, DADA. As we soon learned, Professor Gulge, our new teacher, was very funny. He had dark brown eyes and blond hair. I could already tell that half the school would be in love with him. Girls, I meant.
The day went quickly by and there was no sign of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. At dinner we were all loud and happy and went to bed full and tired.
I kissed Sirius goodnight and then went up to bed. It wasn't until I sat on the bed that I realised an owl had just been squashed. I stood up and took the owl in my hands and fluffed it a bit. It ruffled its wings and held out its leg. I took the letter and the owl flew off.
I put the letter in my diary and then locked it. I was way too tired to think about anything.
____________________________________________________________________________ ___
I woke up and sighed. I'd been at Hogwarts for two weeks and today was Saturday. Quidditich practice. I was the Gryffindor Keeper. James was the team's Seeker and he was really good at it. Remus and Sirius were Chasers, but during practices they usually tried to knock each other off they're brooms.
I got dressed and went downstairs to the Great Hall. Besides the Gryffindor team, noisily eating and chattering, only Dumbledore was there. He lifted up his hand and motioned me to come toward him. 'Yes,' I said.
'I never really been able to get a moment alone with you and Sirius,' he said.
'Sorry, we didn't come to your office we were.'
He interrupted me, saying,' It doesn't matter, just so long as you come soon.'
'Lil! Are you coming?' Remus shouted across the Hall. 'Yes,' I said. 'Have fun,' Dumbledore said, standing up and walking out of the room.
I ran to catch up with the team. I finally caught up with them, just as Sirius said,' That's why Lily can't know about this, ok?' 'Know about what?' I said. 'Nothing, doll,' Sirius said, putting his arm around me. I saw Remus give Sirius a look, but I just let it go. I would find it out later.
We walked onto the pitch and I immediately pushed my feet off the ground. I steered my broom higher and higher into he air, feeling the coldness of the air on my cheeks and looking at the mist on the lake.
Practice was great and by the time we were done the mist had risen and the sun was shining. We walked back to the castle laughing and joking. I went to the Girl's Dormitories to write in my diary, something I hadn't done in 2 weeks. I unlocked it and the letter fell out. I picked it up and then remembered the owl.
I opened it and turned it over, surprised. It was completely blank. Oh well, I thought and placed it back inside the book. I wrote about Hogwarts and friends and dreams and then I went down to lunch.
Since I hadn't eaten any breakfast I was really hungry and ate a lot.
The day went by and we spent most of the time in the common room, playing little prank on anyone who crawled through the hole. We started on our homework and were helping each other when I saw a page in our Transfiguration book marked Papers, Pages and Pipers. I read it and then left the common room, running towards my dorm. I opened my diary and the paper fell out. I looked at it some more, then decided to try the spell.
I was just trying to get the last word right when Sirius opened the door. 'Are you ok?' he said, 'It's just that you left so quickly, I was worried.' 'I'm fine, I just wanted to see if this paper had some kind of spell on it,' I said, waving the paper around. 'So you got one too. I did. About two weeks ago.' he said, trailing off, looking at the picture I had drawn in my diary.
I shut the book. 'That was really pretty Lily,' he said,' can I see it again?' 'No you can't, those are my private things.' I said, worried that he would read all the things I had vented and drawn. 'Ok, ok,' he said putting up his hands. I went back to tapping the paper with my wand, like the book said. Suddenly a small hole appeared. I turned the paper over to see if the hole had gone through. But no, the other side was fine. I flipped the paper again and the hole was wider. I could see something or someone moving inside. Sirius looked at me, then back at the paper.
I took a deep breath, then stuck my finger into the paper. I thought it would be hard, but it was soft, kind of gooey. I looked back at Sirius, then I felt myself being flipped over. I was going down a long purple and pink tube. I finally came to the end of it. I stood up.
There was a girl about 20 years old, who looked just like me, except, well older. She was holding a bundle in her arms and I could see a small hand sticking out of it. I love babies, so I started to walk towards it when I saw the fear on her face. Then I heard a man's voice. 'No, Lily! Take Harry and go! I'll hold him back!' Then I saw a flash of green light and an evil laugh. "Lily" gasped and started crying. 'Give me the boy you stupid girl!' said a voice that sent shivers down my spine. 'No,' she said. There was another flash of green light and "Lily" fell to the floor. The man in a cloak who had just killed "Lily" was advancing towards the baby, which lay in "Lily's" arms. I knew I had to do something, so I stepped in between him and the baby. 'Avada Kedavra!' he shouted and I felt a hot searing pain threw my chest. And before I fell into a heap on the floor next to "Lily", I heard the man scream and I saw him vanish.
LittleBit's Letter: Well? What do you think? Good? Please review or I won't write more! Sorry it took so long to write, I had writer's block. But yesterday. I had fun! And that helped! Happy New Year! Thank you Dracorulz, LiannesLily, Lavender James and BabBlGrl for reading. And to you anonymous reviewers. Also, Fleur Delacour, the reason James and Sirius were friends again after James saw them kissing is because it's a known fact that girls hold grudges longer than guys and I didn't want them to be mad at each other. No one noticed when Lily left the compartment to find an empty one on the train because the boys were busy playing a game of Exploding Snap. And Lily and James did have a relationship with Lily as I have just explained. To: Dark Sorceress of the Underworld (cool name), it was Malfoy that slapped Lily, not James. Happy New Year!
So please review!
