A/N: Hello everyone! Before I get started with this fanfiction, I would
just like to let you all know that I do plan on continuing with my old
story, entitled "The Heir's of the Founder's". I'm really sorry I haven't
updated that for a while...I think it's been about 7 or 8 months. I've had
a rough year, with school, and my grandma died a while ago, so we were
travelling back and forth from the city. Any free time I did have was spent
on school, soccer team, friends, etc. Now that it's summer, I have a lot
more time on my hands, and I am going to be writing quite a bit! So give me
a little bit of time; I'm going to revise my other story, and then post it.
For now, here is my new story, which (if my reader's like) I will continue!
So sit tight, and read!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything - although I wish I was as talented a writer as the incredible J.K. Rowling.
And now - on with the story!
In This World
Chapter One: Confused
Lily sat on the window bench, looking over the Hogwarts grounds towards the Forbidden Forest. For a moment Lily thought about how it looked so peaceful, as if there were no evil or dangerous creatures present in those woods. Many who had been forced to venture into the forest with the Caretaker, Filch, came back telling of horrid tales of terrible creatures being set upon them. Some people had even told tales of werewolves and ghosts...Not friendly ghosts, like you often saw in Hogwarts, mind you, but evil ghosts, wanting nothing more than to make you there new "friend". The enticing beauty of the forest captured Lily's mind, and pulled her into the deep, dark forest. The rustling of the leaves caught her senses. She could hear the forest whispering to her...telling her tales...terrifying tales. She tried to escape from the terrifying noise, but she couldn't! It was whispering to her frantically; she could hear a blood - curdling scream! It became louder and louder, and before she knew it, it was so loud, she though her head would explode...
And then everything went black...
Those around her had no idea what had just happened to Lily. One minute she had been explaining to Professor Flitwick how to complete a proper Deafening charm, and the next she was screaming loudly, fear marked on her face...and that is when she fainted.
Professor Flitwick quickly moved through the crowd of students surrounding the young girl, lying on the floor. "James," he began, as he assessed Lily, "would you be so kind as to take Lily up to the Hospital Wing? By the looks of her, she is just over-exhausted, but you can never be so sure. Madame Pomfrey just needs to wake her up."
James smiled warmly at the professor and nodded a curt "yes" before gathering Lily up in his arms. Her friends surrounded the two, begging him to take care of her and not do anything stupid. He pushed his way through the crowd and gently carried her through the corridors. James was just thinking about how nicely Lily fit into his arms, when he collided into something - or rather, someone. The person let out a soft whimper as they landed on the floor, before they realised who had run into them: James Potter. Quickly, the person turned it into a soft, yet fake cry. James looked down and saw Cindy Portay laying on the ground crying, apparently in pain.
"Uhhhh...I'm sorry Cindy, I didn't see you there."
"Oh, hello James. It's alright...I guess...I'm used to it..."
"Right...I'm sure you are," said James, inwardly groaning. Slowly, James edged away, saying he needed to get Lily to the Hospital Wing, and nodding a swift goodbye.
*
Lily could feel someone picking her up and carrying her with ease somewhere. She began to feel terrified. She didn't know where she was or who she was with. She wanted to scream and get help, but she couldn't move her mouth. She wanted to open her eyes, but it was as if they were glued shut. What was going on? 'Please tell me this is all just a dream', she thought. 'What...'
*
James arrived in the Hospital Wing, and gently lay Lily down on the closest, available bed. Calmly calling for Madame Pomfrey. As she walked into the room, she saw Lily Evans laying in bed two, and James Potter standing beside her, playing with his unruly hair, as usual. "Hello, James. What happened to Lily, here?"
"Madame Pomfrey," he nodded, "Professor Flitwick asked me to bring her up to see you. She was answering a question in class and started to scream and all the sudden fainted. He seems to think she may be suffering from exhaustion." As James told the nurse the story, she was silently examining her patient. Her face suddenly turned to concern and she faced James.
"You need to leave."
A/N: So, how was that? Sorry it's short, it's just the beginning... A lot of things are kind of confusing, I know..it will be explained later on! Some things, next chapter. Please Review!! I would really like to receive 5 reviews...please? *begs* Thanks!
