Okay, here I be, back again. It's longer then usual, and Lily has some problems, but really be gald. I'm on page 35 longest I ever wrote in one week. So chapter ten. There is plenty more. Seventeen after Lily does something with the Circle of Light…. But you have to find out what it is….

Chapter Ten

Quidditch

It was warm for October and Lily was weighed down by her satchel. Glancing up at Hogwarts Lily had to smile. Hogwarts was wonderful.

Settling down next to a tree Lily gazed out over the lake. "What are you doing?" a cold voice asked. Lily looked around.

"Who are you?" Lily asked.

"Snape." The boy said, coming around the tree. Lily glared at him.

"What can I do for you?" Lily asked stiffly. The boy flopped down and pushed his long hair away from his shoulders.

"A simple conversation."

"Why with me?" Lily asked her lip curling.

"Because you don't seem to have much else going on." The boy said, his black eyes looking barely interested in the wonderful sight of the sun setting.

"That's no reason for conversation." Lily said. A Slytherin pitying a Gryffindor, how interesting. Lily thought.

"I find it useful to converse with others." Snape said.

"Go away Snape, I have to study." Lily said, sighing.

"I can sit here as it is not claimed by another." Snape said. Lily snorted.

"You sound like Petunia." Lily said and stood. "It was nice," she said sarcastically, then turned, "To meet you Snape."

The first Quidditch match of the year was held on the first Sunday of November. The sky was clear and blue and Lily found herself shedding a warm jacket as she sat in the stands above the green.

"You'll just love it Lily!" Arabella said.

"I'm sure I will!" Lily said excitedly. "Who's on the team?"

"Well, Norris Kander is our keeper, she's right good to," Karrie said. "Hassler, what's his first name Bell?"

"Chance." Arabella said.

"Yeah him and Gada Lords, she's leaving next year, leaving a space for a chaser. Chance and Gada and—oh I can never remember his name-" Karrie said.

"Edan." Arabella supplied.

"Right Chance Hassler, Gada Lords and Edan Broner are our chasers." Karrie continued.

"Charlie Weasley is our Seeker. Our two beaters are Qioa Jiang and Irene Lefty." Arabella said.

"Charlie Weasley is our seeker?" Lily asked. She felt a knot form in her stomach.

"Why?" Karrie asked a sly smile on her face. "You fancy him? He's only two years older then us."

Lily flushed and glared at her friend. "No I don't Karrie Petigrew, don't even suggest it."

"Alright." Karrie said with a knowing smile. Lily kicked her.

"I'm just saying it looks fishy!" the voice belonged to Sirius Black and he flung himself out in the seat next to Arabella. "How are you my pet, my lovely?" he asked. Lily went livid.

"You-"she pointed a finger at Peter, Karrie, Arabella and searched for Remus but didn't find him. Instead she saw James and went quiet. Frank came by and sat next to Karrie.

"So this your first match?" Frank asked Lily.

"Yes." Lily said.

"Don't worry about it." Frank said flashing her a smile. "You're smart Lily; you must know all the rules by now."

"I have my book with me!" Lily said, holding up her now battered copy of Quidditch Through the Ages.

"Excellent." Heather said as she settled in the tier above Lily and her friends. Not after I'm done with them. Lily thought as she caught sight of James again.

Suddenly the crowd began to cheer. Lily looked down at the field to see the Gryffindor team coming on to the pitch. She cheered along with her house and looked at the other team.

The Ravenclaws came onto the field and the Ravenclaws and Slytherins applauded.

Mrs. Dublebee, the teacher who taught flying to the first years and was referee for the Quidditch matches came on to the field. "Who's our captain?" Lily asked as she saw a tall girl step forward, offering her hand to the Ravenclaw captain.

"Gada Lords. It's a right shame she's leaving next year. One of the best captains ever. Haven't lost a game with her as captain." Arabella said.

Mrs. Dublebee blew her whistle and they were off. The announcer cracked on. "And their off, Gryffindor in possession. Lords passes to Hassler to Broner, back to Lords, and SHE SCORES!" The crowd exploded.

"Gryffindor in possession, but Kadlie takes the quaffle and is flying up the pitch, Lords steals and passes to Broner, Broner to Lords, to Hassler, looks like a Porskoff Ploy, but no, Ravenclaw takes the quaffle, Hassler steals it back and SCORE!" Lily was amazed at the skill she was seeing. The game was exhilarating to watch.

Suddenly Lily felt as if the world was exploding around her. She rose and cheered with each new goal that her house made, but the knot in her stomach was making it hard for her to breath. The score was 100 to zero to Gryffindor when Charlie went into a dive. Lily watched him with interest and saw the Ravenclaw seeker trying to follow him, but it was obvious Charlie was going to get the snitch.

Suddenly Lily couldn't sit anymore. She fell on the ground and curled up. No one noticed, they all cheered when Charlie caught the snitch and then there was a gasp. Lily felt the knot release itself and she looked up to see Charlie falling. Blood was spattered around and Lily began to cry.

"Lily?" James was beside her. "Lily what's the matter?" Lily curled up and began to rock back and forth.

The redhead was slowing as Madame Comfrey hurried onto the field. "Bell, help me." James said looking very worried. Arabella looked down at her friend who was curled up sobbing.

"Oh my god, Lily what's the matter." Arabella knelt by her friend. Lily shook her head, still sobbing.

Karrie joined James and Arabella. "Lily?" she asked. Lily couldn't answer.

She tried to find her voice, but it wasn't working.

"We have to get her somewhere." James said, pulling her up. Tears still flowing freely, Lily followed James.

Lily looked around and saw Bill Weasley. She had stopped crying finally, after taking a hysteria potion. Madame Comfrey had smiled and said it was okay, but Lily felt something was wrong.

She had made an off hand prediction, and it had come true. It was scary knowing that. She had also heard voices. They sounded familiar and yet older. She tried to remember the conversation.

"Life is pain! If you don't know that Lily then why are you here?"

"I'm here because you're here; I won't go until you die. And then I'm not leaving until I die."

"We have a son to care for."

"James, I love you with more power in the world. I love Harry the same way, but you're risking yourself to step out there into the world and leaving me here knowing I could do nothing to save you?"

"I swear I love you."

"I swear I love you."

"Wherever you go,"

"I shall follow you to the end,"

"Whenever you stop,"

"I will stop also,"

"Whatever you say,"

"It doesn't matter,"

"Because I love you,"

"Because our love is true."

"I swear I love you James Potter."

"I swear I love you Lily Evans."

"Joined as one."

"I can't just stay here!"

 "Lily, I can't let Sirius do this for us."

"James, Harry is so important. I've known almost all my wizarding life that my son is going to bring about the fall of the dark lord." The voice broke down.

"Lily, what's the matter?"

"James, when we were in first year I had a dream. I dreamed you died and Voldemort was there. He killed you and he was going to kill me. I saw him doing it. I Saw it."

"Bullshit, I won't let you die!"

"James, I won't let you die."

"I'm going crazy." Lily said to herself quietly.

"What was that?" Bill asked.

"Oh nothing." Lily said. Bill turned back to his brother. "Who's Voldemort?"

Bill flinched. "Please don't say the name." Bill whispered.

"Sorry."

"You-Know-Who is a very bad wizard who just came into power. He's trying to take over the wizarding community and keep it all wizards, not half, or muggle born, just pure blooded."

"I guess that means me." Lily mused.

Bill looked up. "What's your name again?"

"Lily Evans."

"Yeah, I guess that means you." Bill said, his eyes flashing something Lily didn't get. "But don't worry about it; you can't get hurt when you're at Hogwarts. Professor Dumbledore is the only wizard who you-know-who is afraid of."

"I guess that would be protection against the world." Lily said. But what about my family? She thought and lay back on her bed. "I'm sorry about Charlie."

"Don't worry about him; he's taken farther falls then the rest of them, what with looking out for the twins." Bill said, smiling.

"You have twin—siblings?"

"Brothers, Fred and George, their one and causing more trouble then their worth." Bill said smiling. "Can't believe how much. Almost as much as Charlie here."

Lily smiled. "I wish I had loving siblings." She said quietly.

"You don't?" Bill asked, surprised.

"No, Petunia thinks I'm a freak because I have magic." Lily said quietly.

"Is she older or younger?" Bill asked.

"She's older."

"She's probably just jealous that you have something she doesn't." Bill said.

"You think so?" Lily asked, brightening.

"Yeah. Look Lily, if you ever just need to talk to someone, I'm free a lot of the time, you can just come and talk." Bill said with an honest smile.

"Thanks. I might take you up on that offer someday." Lily said smiling at the older boy.

What do you think of that?
