Cutenyoung: Thanks for reviewing and umm Slytherins made 'em scream as you can see in the previous chappies...Slytherins would make me scream too... haha.
Another A/N: Wow this took up almost a whole page...so I guess I should better start writing..lol! Here we go..
A month into the school year it was already October, and the First Years were starting their own routines. Wake up, whine about classes, breakfast, whine about classes, classes, whine about classes, free time, whine about homework, dinner, actually DO the homework, then bed. Very animated, eh? Many first years were disappointed when Quidditch Tryouts came by and none of them were allowed to play.
During the last month, Lily and Sirius and James got acquainted, but were never friends. One of the reasons for that was Sirius was too absorbed into Rhi, James was too shy around Lily and afraid she might dislike him, as she did with those other boys at the night of the feast, and Lily just wasn't trying.
On a random day in October Rhi was sitting on the bed with her head hanging off looking at Lily reading, "A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett."
'If Sara had another chance at true family... why can't I?' Lily thought desperately.
"LILY!!" Rhi shouted with a dull ring to it.
"Damn woman you scream like hell!" Lily said holding her ear that was closest to Rhi.
"Hehe oops, but LILY!! I'm bored!!"
"Do homework." Lily said her eyes still scanning the book.
Rhi gave Lily the 'You-have-got-to-be-kidding-me' look.
"Lils, do I LOOK like a person who does homework when she's bored?"
Lily laughed. "Nope, not really.
Rhi rolled her eyes at her bookworm type friend.
"Whatcha reading?" Rhi asked.
"A Little Princess."
"That old classic crap?" Rhi asked, unfazed by her language. (A/N: I don't like those kind of books, but I know I shouldn't have made Rhi say that, but it fitted her character.)
"Yes, that old classic crap." Lily replied, her jade eyes sparkling with laughter and amusement.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you read that junk?"
"Because you can learn from it."
Rhi looked at me as if I were crazy and very slowly she said, "Oooooookaaaaaaaay.."
Lily laughed at her friends distaste for Classic Novels.
"Let's go bother someone." Rhi suggested as their cure for boredom.
"Let me just finish this passage." Rhi, out of impatience, started singing that Jeopardy time limit song.
"Done."
"FINALLY." Rhi noted, stressing the "Finally."
Lily rolled her eyes as both of them made their way down to the Common Room listening Rhi mutter, "Who to bother. Who to bother. Hmm."
Lily's eyes darted over to Aviva Worm, Jenna Tail, Kayla Isatraitoré, and Cassandra Rewitts. The Gryffindor Blondes was what they were called. All First Years though. (A/N: Anyone get the thing in their last names? Hehe. If you did tell me in a review and I'll give you brownie points and galore. Oh and if you get the trick in the first password "Rolling Phoenix." What does that sound like? Hmm.. tell me in a review and I'll make a nice tribute to ya.)
"Oooo!" Rhi commented unexpectedly.
"Who, Rhi?"
"Sirius Black." Lily groaned. Some reason or the other Rhi and Sirius were always competing with pranks.
"What?"
"You always choose Sirius Black. If I didn't know better I'd say you like him."
Rhi gave Lily a repulsive look.
"Ugh that's just nasty and wrong!"
"Whatever." Lily said, smiling knowingly. 'Note to self: Convince Rhi to let me be a bridesmaid.' Lily thought to herself.
Lily's eyes deceived her and darted their way to James Potter, whom at the moment was flirting with Aviva. It sickened and saddened Lily at the spot. Why? She didn't know. (A/N Aww! Poor Lilykins is falling in love. Haha, nah probably just some nausea. We don't want two 11 year olds falling in love. Now do we?)
Lily's emerald sense of sight moved onto one of her old friends. The strange human-like-cat. Lily walked over to the beautiful feline.
"Why hello kitty. Long time no see, eh?" The sapphire-eyed cat purred softly. Lily sat down right by it on the big, squishy maroon-type-colored couch, as she petted the feline's head softly.
"Hmm ... where did you run off to last time? - no sound from the cat- Did I scare you away with my scream? - still no answer- Lily what is happening to you. You're talking to a cat for goodness sakes!!" Lily scolded at herself.
Rhi, just noticing Lily ran off, looked for any signs of the slightly auburn-haired preteen. 'Now where could that person have gone..." Rhi thought to herself. 'Aha!!' She had spotted Lily and the cat. Just staring at each other. Lily, dismissing the weird looks she got and the cat, joking around pretending as if it was a staring contest.
Rhi walked over and plopped right beside Lily and waved her hand in front of the Princess' face.
"Hello? Earth to Lillian!" Lily broke out of her daze and noticed Rhi right beside her.
"Huh? What? Oh, hey." Rhi rolled her eyes.
"Welcome back to reality Lilykins."
"Lilykins?" Lily wrinkled her nose in a distasteful, but cute way at her new nickname.
"Yes. Lilykins."
'Two can play this game.' Lily thought.
"Whatever you say, Nonna."
"Nonna? Where the hell did you get Nonna?"
"R-H-I-A-N-N-O-N. Nonna is the last five letters of your name. Backwards. And Nonna sounds like some name for a Grandmother."
"A Grandmother? Hell, I'm only eleven. And I'm NOT a Nonna!"
"Fine Nonny."
"This is a loosing battle, huh?"
"Pretty much yeah." Lily said smirking.
Rhi sighed. "Thought so."
Lily turned her attention to the cat ... that was no longer there. 'Dumb cat.'
***Skip To October Thirty First***
Lily always gathered the chills during Halloween. She didn't know why, she just did. Something about it ... just rubbed her the wrong way.
The Great Hall was wonderfully decorated for the Hallow's Eve Feast. Jack-O-Lanterns, Skeletons, Live Bats, etc. etc. Even another great prank from James and Sirius, who gave a different potion to each drink that automatically changed you into a chosen costume.
Lily was dressed up as a Fairy Princess. As was someone else. Malfoy. And Rhi was an Egyptian Queen. So was Snape. Auga Twat was an old hag. But she only needed a mole and a few extra black and gold teeth, for she already had the body frame. Haha. All the Slytherins received ... er ... costumes that fit their own persona best. Although Lily would never know why Aviva, Jenna, Kayla, and Cassandra had decent costumes. She assumed it was because they were fellow Gryffindors. James was a stag and Sirius was a dog. Some guy named Remus Lupin was a wolf and Frank Longbottom was a Knight. Oh and Peter Pettigrew was a r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r a ... bbi. (A/N: Thought I'd say rat didn't you? ;P)
During the Dinner Feast everyone was chit chattering away. Something that caught Lily's eye was that Jenna was looking at Rhi and Sirius enviously, but with hatred. It amused Lily to the greatest lengths until she started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Rhi asked wanting to get the joke.
"Nothing. Just a random titter of a laugh."
"Allllllllllright..."
The Feast was nearing to an end when all the lights suddenly flickered and a scream was heard. Lily recognized the voice. It was ...
(A/N: Should I leave it there and be mean? Hmm...)
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.

YES!!!!!
(A/N: Okay. The arrows are always right.)
It was ... Professor McGonagall. Professor Dumbledore looked at where her finger was pointing to and his eyes landed on a horrific site. It was a pure white animal ... hanging from the Hogwarts tapestry. With it's tail pinned with a nail at the very tip of the tapestry. Blood was cascading down the Hogwarts maximized crest. With a note written in the animal's blood.
She can run. But she can't hide. Fear for her life, Dumbledore. Fear...she will die.
To finish it off it had the dark mark right under it. Many pupil's screams or worried whispers and other nonsense was spreading.
At that very moment something hit Lily. 'He knows who I am. He knows WHERE I am ... and he wants me dead ...'
Then Lily noticed something she hadn't before ... it was the Cat from the Common Room hanging at the tapestry.
A/N: That was so hard to write. It took me three days. And finally I have it done. Okay I'm just going to upload this, post this, and be happy with this. So much suspense. Oh and I couldn't get the vision for the cat hanging from the tapestry so just imagine Mrs. Norris when she was petrified. And for future thoughts. Is the cat dead? Is the cat alive? Is the cat in the middle? Or is it petrified? Coming up *Dumbledore calms everyone down* and *We are properly introduced to THE Marauders.* Please review. This was so hard to write. *sighs* At least it's done with. And over with. Review please!
