Chapter 9

The next morning, Lily woke as the sun shone through the dormitory. Then she noticed a bouquet of lilies sitting on her bed stool. And there was a card attached to it as well.

"I would open the card if I were you." Said Malerie, teasingly. " Yea but it's not like we don't know who it's from." Added Jasmine and they both started laughing.

Oblivious to her two best friends laughing, she opened the card. It read,

To Lily,

A little something to someone very special.

A.D

Who can this be? It's not James. Thought Lily.

" So, was this from you know who?" asked Malerie mischievously.

" Yea, was it?" added Jasmine, attentively.

"Um. Actually, it's not. It's from a A.D." answered Lily, now very confused.

The three girls exchanged confused looks.

" Then who?" Malerie started to say.

" It must be someone with the initials, A and D." said Jasmine, "thoughtfully".

Lily and Malerie looked at her with a look of exasperation.

" Well it is." Said Jasmine.

" It's almost time for class and we're going to be late if we don't hurry up." Said Lily trying to end the discussion of the mystery admirer.

" Well I guess whoever sent these got the nerve to send it last night after seeing James and lily together." Said Malerie as she gathered her books and quills.

" That might be true and it might not. It might just be some coincidence. You never know. I mean this world is full of surprises." Said Jasmine.

" Ok, ok. Can we stop talking about this?" said Lily, thoroughly irritated.

" If you want to." said Jasmine sheepishly.

Lily found that it was extremely difficult to concentrate in Potions class. She kept on thinking about A.D. Who could it be? James seemed to notice that Lily was obviously thinking about something else. He always knew if something was wrong. He looked over at Lily. Then with an idea, he scribbled a note and he got up pretending to be needing an ingredient for his Veritaserum. As he was passing Lily's seat, he quickly put the note on her desk. Lily looked at him and she quickly opened the note under her seat.

Hey, Lily. Something wrong? Well, meet me in the library since we have the afternoon off after this Double Potions. Ok? See you then, beautiful.

-James.

She hurriedly put the note away and added the root of armadivine into her potion.

After the bell rang, Lily, Malerie and Jasmine were in the hallway. Malerie and Jasmine went up to put their stuff away and head down to lunch.

" I see you later then." Said Lily as her they left.

She was walking down to the corridor to the library. Then she noticed, a slightly dirty-blonde boy's bag rip. He was a Ravenclaw. All of his quills, parchment, books were now drenched in the splattered ink. Lily hurried over.

" Oh, are you okay?" asked Lily picking up the books and spare pieces of parchment.

" Oh! I'm fine. Thanks, Lily." Said the boy.

"How do you know my name?" asked Lily politely.

" Um, well, everyone knows your name. You're going out with James Potter aren't you?"

" I'm not going out with him, exactly." Said Lily uncomfortably. " So what's your name?"

" Oh! Me? My name is Andrew Davies. I'm a seventh year." Answered Andrew. " Thanks for helping me." Added Andrew as he picked up the last piece of a very scribbled-on parchment.

" Your welcome." Then, the same parchment fell onto the floor.

" Oh I got it." Said Lily picking up the parchment.

The parchment was full of scribbles of initials of L.E. He quickly snatched the parchment, getting a bit red now.

" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be nosy or anything." Said Lily apologetically.

" It's ok. See you around, Lily." Said Andrew as he left.

That was odd. Thought Lily heading to the library once more.

When she got to the library, she saw James sitting on one of the seats. There were a couple of girls behind a near bookshelf whispering animatedly but quickly stopped when they saw Lily.

" Finally, you're here." Said James, most sweetly as he got up.

" Yea, sorry. I was caught on something." Said Lily absentmindedly.

" It's ok. I just wanted to talk with you." Said James, pulling out a seat for Lily.

Andrew Davies... Thought Lily.

" OH! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID!" said Lily, hitting her forehead. " I have to go James. Something's come up. We'll talk later." Said Lily and she hurried out of the library.

" Ok! We'll talk more... later." Called out James, as the library door closed.

A/N: OoOh. I wonder what's going to happen next. Hehe.
