LILY'S POV
You see, I have this deadly secret that only Professor Dumbledore and I know. I was sworn to secrecy not to tell anyone, because the truth is...
I am a Lightporter......
Chapter 2
THE SECRET
NORMAL POV
It was the first day of Lily's seventh and last year at Hogwarts. She sat on her own during the journey to Hogwarts, she entertained herself by reading "The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 7)" by Rashni Reptern.
It was time for the Sorting Ceremony. Each year, the new students were sorted into houses by putting on the Sorting Hat, and as the Hat skims through your thoughts, it will shout out the house you will be in. Lily was in Gryffindor, known for its courage and bravery. There were also Ravenclaw which was famous for its cleverness and abilities; Hufflepuff, the loyal and the just; and of course, there was the Slytherin house. Popularly believed as the most cunning and worst house of Hogwarts.
Lily was sitting in her usual seat at the Gryffindor table, the one that's furthest away from the teachers' table. On her either sides, people were gossiping noisily about their holidays and the excuses they were going to make about their undone homework.
Lily didn't mind. Well, she did but she never showed it. It really pains her to see people chatting with their friends and the way they laugh merrily and freely around Hogwarts as if they didn't have a care in the world.
That was one of the reasons of why she spent all her time on work. It turns her mind away from being social and focusing on study instead.
Right now, the Sorting Hat just finished its newest greeting song and the first boy was already rushing up to the stool where the Hat was placed. Lily didn't get his name.
The boy jammed the Hat on eagerly. After about twenty seconds of silence and waiting, the Hat opened its strange mouth and shouted,
'RAVENCLAW!'
Lily turned her gaze away from the boy and onto the table to her right, where the students were clapping enthusiastically, some even standing up. It was always said that whichever house gets the first pupil, will have the best luck that year.
It was at least ten people before the first Gryffindor came along. Her name was Devina Drew, she smiled happily and almost relieved as she made her way to the Gryffindor table.
Lily smiled as she clapped with the rest of the Gryffindors. Devina reminded her of her first day at Hogwarts when she was so relieved that the Hat experience wasn't so bad. In fact, it proofed to be very helpful as she learnt something about herself that will change her life forever. She recalled the conversation with the Hat as if she just heard it.
*FLASHBACK*
An eleven-almost-twelve years old Lily walked nervously to the stool, she could feel the gazes of many on her.
As she got to the front, she had to push herself onto the stool because of her height and placed the hat gingerly on her head. She was scared and unsure of what to do.
'AH! Finally! Lily Evans. At last, I finally met you. Professor Dumbledore told me a lot about you, you know.' The Hat's croaky voice echoed through her eardrums.
[Errrrrr ... he did, oh dear, what have I done?] Lily became quite panicked. She didn't want to be on the headmaster's bad side on her first day.
'Oh, don't worry, it's not anything bad. In fact, it's a special gift. Lily you're one of the two Porters, and you're the Lightporter. Congratulations!'
[I'm the WHAT?!?!] Lily shouted to the Hat telepathically. [What the hell is that? And how can that be, I mean it's weird enough to be a witch, am I something else too?]
'Oh, don't you know? Well, of course you don't, I mean you're Muggle-born. Ok, a Porter is someone with a special power. There are only to be two in every century, they are supposed to be born on the same day. One is born at dawn and one is born at dusk. The one born at dawn will be the Lightporter - whom you are -, and the one born at dusk will be the Darkporter. The two are meant to compete against each other in some way. For every century the task is different. But every task that is to be done is important. In fact, for every task, a prophecy will be fulfilled. And for this one, Professor Dumbledore figured it is,
Dark will never be conquered,
Light can never be ruled.
One will destroy the future,
If the other choose to be fooled.
You see now?'
Lily was confused, she tried to take all the information in at once. [What do you mean, "one will destroy the future"?]
'It means one of you - usually the Darkporter - will do the task for Darkness and Evil. And the other one -the Lightporter - will achieve the task for Goodness and Light.'
[Oh!] Lily understood a bit but suddenly she remembered about the "special poweres", what are they?
'AHHH!!! So you're curious about the powers now, are you? Well, the Porters are supposed to be able to teleport anywhere, and unlike Apparation - which you already know (clever girl) - you can go ANYWHERE, as in anti- Apparitions places such as Hogwarts for example. Porters can also move certain small objects by using their mind. Oh and they are much more stronger than normal people when they are in their Porter state.'
[What do you mean by Porter state?] Lily asked uncertainly, what if it means you have to change into a bear or a dragon or something.
'It basically means you have to wear a special outfit made to cover your image so no one can recognise you. You cannot use your powers unless you have the outfit on.' The Hat explained patiently, then he added, 'if you really want to know more about your Porter thing, just ask Professor Dumbledore, he'll answer it better than I can. And now, if you don't mind we've still got to sort you into the house you're going to be in.'
Lily suddenly realised she still haven't been sorted and was sitting here for almost ten minutes. Students all over the hall were whispering curiously about why the sorting was taking so long.
'Rrrrrrrrrrright, then. You'll just have to choose between Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. I don't think you'll want to be in Slytherin because you're not meant to be well, bad.' The Hat said almost apologetically to Lily.
[Hmmmm ... can I be in Gryffindor. I like its qualities and well ... yeah...] Lily asked shyly.
'Sure, if that's what you want. Ok, GRYFFINDOR.' The Hat bellowed, and the dead silent hall was instantly filled with loud cheering and clapping. The tension was finally loosened as Lily took off the Hat, but not before she thought, [thanks!!!]
As Lily made her way towards the table that was cheering the most, she failed to notice the unusual twinkle that was held in Dumbledore eyes...
Or the suspicious and immediate loathing look a certain brown-headed, ruby- eyed young girl gave her when she strodded past her......
*END FLASHBACK*
A/N ok, that was SO much more than what I rote in the 1st chapter wasn't it? Hehe, well, plz plz review and I would lik to say a HUGE thank you to those 3 people who reviewed. Lol. Bye ^_________^.
