Chapter 12
" Uh…. Hi, Lily." Said Malerie uncomfortably.
" Padfoot, what's going on?" asked James.
" Wait a minute, what are you two doing here?" asked Sirius.
James thought for a moment.
" Fine, we won't ask what you're doing if you don't ask us what we're doing." Said James in a very businesslike tone.
" Deal."
And once James and Lily walked into the castle, they both bursted into laughter.
***
James and Lily were still laughing when they got to the Gryffindor Common Room, they saw that Remus, Jasmine and Peter were still waiting by the fire.
" Hey, Jasmine! You'll never guess what we saw. Malerie is so busted!" said Lily running over to Jasmine.
" So, what was the big surprise about?" asked Peter.
(A/N: ew, the stupid worm.)
" Oh, that. Yes it was beautiful. I've never seen a real newborn fairy before. It was amazing." Said Lily smiling at James.
" but never mind that, I have something to tell you. You are so going to get a kick out of this one."
" So are you guys like officially dating now?" Remus.
Lily paused for a second, the sight of Malerie and Sirius in the bushes completely made her unconscious to this matter. Sure, she thought James was really nice for showing her that, but as her boyfriend? Maybe James is thinking along the same line as well. But she was proven wrong as soon as the thought entered her head.
" Yes! Yes, we are officially going out, so mind everyone keep their eyes and hands off of my girlfriend." Said James proudly and warningly at the same time.
" Well, well, protective aren't we? Congrats, mate." Said Remus.
Lily was kind of in a daze. Why must I be confused like this all the time?
" So what was it that you wanted to tell us, Lily?" asked Remus.
" Um, something or the other, I forget. Well, I'm going to turn in." said Lily in a false cheery tone and went up the Girl's dormitory.
James started on Sirius and Malerie sight. Everyone landed into a storm of laughing, especially at the moment, Sirius and Malerie walked in, now very red.
Lily changed into her pajamas and laid in bed as the moon's light beamed through her window.
She was really angry at herself now. Wasn't she just kissing James? And wasn't she just having the time of her life? Then when the question gets asked, she turns into another person oblivious to her feelings. Though she felt as if it wasn't entirely her fault at all. Something inside of her felt as if this wasn't the way to go. That something bad would happen. But what can possibly happen while she is in Hogwarts?
Confused and angry at the same time, she drifted into a merciful dream.
***
" Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off-" said a familiar looking man as he ran out through the door. She took the baby from his crib and held him tightly. He had brilliant green eyes and jet black hair.
Just then the door bursted open and a black figure stood there, laughing as if he was some maniac. He moved towards Lily.
" Please, not Harry, not Harry!" Lily begged.
"Stand aside silly girl!" he said.
Lily knew what to do. She started to whisper an incantation for the baby's protection.
All went bright green and swirled into darkness after that.
***
Lily woke up startled from the strange dream. She saw that Jasmine and Malerie were sleeping soundly, their dreams untroubled.
What did it all mean? Who was that man? Whose baby was it? Why would that man try to kill an innocent baby?
