OK, everybody, I'm back! I'm sorry it took me so long, but with all the
packing I had to do, plus the getting used to France again, plus going on
vacation etc., I didn't have much time to think about this fic.
I know it's a bit too late, but I want to dedicate this story to Eriam, a person that everybody should know, and Shelly, another person that everybody should know. Eriam wrote one review, that probably nobody understood, since it was all in French, and Shelly. Well Shelly doesn't write reviews, but she always tells me what she thinks, so it's OK. Also, I want everybody to know that Ellie has been inspired by one of the best friends I ever had, and Jemima is inspired by Jemima Pitt, a character for the "Charlotte and Thomas Pitt" series, from Anne Perry (but watch out, they don't have exactly the same way of thinking.)
Once again, I forgot the disclaimer a few time, so consider it said for every time I forgot: I don't own anything! Everything belongs to JK and NOT to Warner Bros, since JK is THE one who invented everything.
Once again, thanks to all my reviewers.
Also, I need help. I once read a story about Oliver Wood and Katie Bell and I can't find it, I forgot to put it in my favorites. In that story, Oliver and Katie sleep together when they're drunk, and when they realize it the next day, they just don't talk to each other again. The problem is that Katie is pregnant, and she doesn't tell it to Oliver. The daughter's name is Sydney. If anybody could give me the story number or the title or the author, I would dearly appreciate it.

Ellie and Jemima looked up when Lily entered the room.
"Were you at your cave again?"
"Yeah. I figured it would be good for my nerves to escape the common room for a moment. I don't know how much more of James Potter I'll be able to put up with."
"Well, this afternoon, you could have stayed here for a bit. It seems like Potter deserted the common room," Jemima remarked. "But anyway, there's no point in discussing such an as**ole."
Lily smiled. Potter's last girlfriend had told her story to Ellie and Jemima as well, and they seemed to have discovered that Lily was actually right about him. They promised to do everything possible to keep him away from her. Lily sat on Jemima's bed and listened to the conversation going on. A girl's talk was exactly what she needed at the moment: something where the mind effort would be minimal.
"So Lily, what do you think about Jeremy Abbott?" Jemima said with a smile.
"Jeremy Abbott? Haven't you been saying for two weeks that you did NOT have a crush on him?" Lily smirked.
"Well, it looks like even I can be wrong sometimes," Jemima giggled.
They spend the rest of the afternoon discussing the good and bad things about Jeremy Abbott.
The next day, a Monday, Lily was woken up by Ellie who looked like Christmas had been canceled.
"Lily, you HAVE to help me!"
"What time is it?" she asked. She didn't remember ever being so tired.
"It's 4:30 am. Get UP!"
"What! Someone gives me back Ellie! Since when do you get up so early?"
"I didn't finish the transfiguration essay! And it's due today! I completely forgot about it when we were talking with Jemima yesterday. McGonagall will never allow me to turn it in later, I've already done it three time this year!"
Lily got up, cursing her friends for counting on her so much, and cursing herself for liking her friends so much that she actually helped them like that when they asked her.
"And pray, tell me," Lily asked, "Why is it that you remember NOW that you have to finish this essay?"
"I think my guardian angel, or my good star, or whatever takes care of me decided to wake me up at 4 am and tell me I had an essay to finish."
"Yeah, right. I think it was your conscience."
"My conscience what?" Ellie asked, confused.
"You conscience woke you up" Lily said.
They both got dressed, and by 5 am, time at which the library opened, they were both at the door.
Lily had never been so early at the library. She had often wondered why Mrs. Pince bothered to ask an house elf to take care of it so early in the morning, but she now understood why.
They were all alone. They chose their favorite table, isolated, and Lily got up to take a book. She set on the table "Everything you always wanted to know about Animagi, and never dared to ask", by Ike Anchange. The book opened at the first page, and she blinked. The book had been checked out very often, and by very unusual persons.

The list kept going and going. They had started borrowing the book at a constant rate the previous year, and they had suddenly stopped. four months ago, Lily counted.
Lily sighed. She had promised herself she would avoid Potter at any cost, and trying to find out why this phenomena happened would only draw her to him. She turned the page very fast, just before Ellie joined her with more books. Lily knew her friend. She would do anything possible to understand what was going on.
"So," she said, trying not to think of Jemima who was still sleeping in their dorm, "How much of your essay have you written so far?"
For half an hour, Lily explained to Ellie everything she knew about Animagi. Thankfully, Ellie was a fast learner, and Lily didn't have to repeat anything twice. After a little while, Ellie started to write her essay, and Lily left to wonder in the library, one of her favorite activities. Approaching the other side of the library, she heard hushed voices. She smiled. It was good to know she wasn't the only one up at that time of the day. She approached slowly to find out who it was. She was stunned to see James Potter and Peter Pettigrew.
"Peter, for the last time, it is impossible to use "Accio" to attract somebody's wand. Wands are protected by a special charm, and only "Experliarmus" can work with them."
Lily recognized what they were talking about. The last Charms essay was "Find and explain the difference between the Charms and Curses used in fighting, and their equivalent in normal life." She would normally have been surprised to see that anybody in 5th year couldn't make the difference between "Experliarmus" and "Accio", but she was more surprised to see Potter helping someone one homework. She shook herself and walked away. It wouldn't do her any good if Potter found her spying on him.
She went to check if Ellie needed any help, only to find that she had finished the essay. Lily sighed, thinking of all the hours of sleep that had just been wasted. Ellie didn't care, since she could sleep anywhere, any time, but Lily knew she couldn't go back to bed. Instead, she went to the prefect bathroom. At this time of the day, she was sure nobody would be there. What she needed was a long hot bath with a lot of bubbles.
I know it's a bit too late, but I want to dedicate this story to Eriam, a person that everybody should know, and Shelly, another person that everybody should know.
