A.N. Hi all! Sorry about the last chapter, I couldn't find a very good part
to stop at, and I figured that was the best. Hope you like the story, it's
my first, so please review! I will take flames as well, in fact, I want
them! Hope you like the story, sorry for any grammatical errors, and I will
try and post as soon as possible!

Lily awoke the next day feeling like she had been hit by a truck, and had not slept in years. She reluctantly got out of bed, noticing that her 'friends' were gone and she only had a half an hour before classes started. Lily took a quick shower and dried herself off before moving to a mirror. She stifled a shriek when she noticed that there was nothing there. She rubbed her head and looked around her room. Finding nothing of use, Lily groaned and got ready for the day, accidentally hitting where she was bitten and noticing that there was nothing there. She sighed again, knowing that she must look pale, and went into the common room where all of her friends were in an uproar about a bit of blood that was found in the corner of the room.
Lily walked up to her friend Sarah Conklin and asked, "What's going on?"
Sarah looked at Lily incredulously, but that changed to concern when she saw the state Lily was in. "Are you ok?"
Lily nodded her head and said, "Just tired. Now, what's everyone moaning about?"
Sarah smiled slightly and said, "There's blood in the corner over there. No one knows how it got there, but it looks like a lot, and it doesn't trail or anything."
Lily cocked her head to the side and thought for a moment, not noticing the way most of the guys were staring at her. She threw her hands in the air and said, "I got nothing. Wanna get to Potions? Bear'll become his name if we're not there on time."
Sarah laughed and said, "You're never like this Lils. What's up?"
Lily just shrugged and pointed to the bags under her eyes. "Damn teachers. We really shouldn't have to write about the importance of turning a toad into a bigger toad and back again."
There was laughter from behind Lily, but she didn't even have to turn to say, "Potter, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew."
Sarah looked between Lily's bowed head and the boys' incredulous faces before asking, "How did you know?"
Lily raised an eyebrow as she jumped a student in the middle of the hall and said, "Their laughter. I hear it enough everyday to know it by heart."
Sarah snickered and said, "Fair enough. How did you jump the kid?"
Lily smiled slightly and said, "I bent my knees, then put all the pressure into the balls of my feet, pushed up with a certain amount of force, and straightened my entire body."
Sarah was holding more laughter as the Marauders laughed behind Lily.
James Potter came up and said, "Hallo my lovely Lily!"
Lily just shrugged his arm off with an, "I'm not in the mood today."
James scoffed and said, "Since when has that ever stopped me?"
Lily looked up at James, her eyes looking dead, none like their normal, sparkling selves, and James backed off immediately.
"Thanks."
James dumbly nodded his head as Lily bowed hers again and followed Sarah to the dungeons for Potions class.
Potions was not the most enjoyable class for Lily, as she had to use Dragon's blood, and it was highly alluring to her. Lily made James - who she was unfortunately partnered with - deal with it himself, as she was feeling sick to her stomach from how much she wanted it. James did his part in the potion, although he kept almost slipping up because he was shooting suspicious glanced at Lily.
The class was finally over, and Lily found herself happy and sad at the same time. Pain was racking through her body, and she was sure her canines were growing. She could smell the blood running through her peers' veins, and it was starting to drive her insane.
On one hand she was incredibly happy to be leaving it all, but on the other, Lily found that she was fearing the light. She had read about vampires not being able to stand in light, and Lily figured that that was what she was now, so she couldn't stand in it. With a deep sigh Lily stepped in stride with Sarah and left the room.
