Chapter 2: Arrival and a secret place
After following the streams of students into the Great Hall for the sorting and feast, the 3 girls and the Marauders sat together at the Gryffindor table. James on the right of Lily, Sirius and JJ beside James on the right, Zoe and Remus on the opposite and finally Peter Pettigrew was on the lefts of Remus with his girlfriend Pamela Andrews.
A few minutes later, a girl with hazel hair with matching eyes came hand in hand with another boy with dark features and sat down beside Zoe and Remus, facing Lily.
"Hi there girls, how's your holidays? Hello James, Sirius, Peter and Remus, it is certainly nice to see you again," said the hazel-haired girl.
"Why, hello there January Fogs. I see you have thrown us out of your mind just for your Windson here at the train," greeted Lily, happy to see her friend, "Sorry Windson, I'm not trying to say that I don't want Jan to be with you, but I can be jealous you know. When one of your best friend suddenly falls in love and all of a sudden, you don't seem to find her anymore anywhere except with her lover."
"I know Lily. I'll try to give Jan more time to be with you guys," said Windson.
"I'm just joking Windson. From first year till now I see you still being the modest person you are," laughed Lily.
"Hey Windson, can you leave your Jan for a while and come sit with us?" called out Sirius, motioning his hand to an empty seat.
"Oh sure, be right there!" replied Windson. He then turned his attention to his girlfriend, "Hey Jan, I'll leave you for a while to go sit with my dorm mates, then I'll meet you after the feast."
"Okay, you better," said Jan.
"Thanks a lot my babe," said Windson kissing her hand tenderly before moving off to the empty seat beside Sirius.
"Lily, it seems to me that you are the only girl in the Unicorns not to have a boyfriend. I wonder how you can still keep your virginity when almost all the population of boys here wanted to give you that simple night of pleasure," Jan said mischievously, "Maybe, I could match make you and James together. The both of you would make a great pair! Yeah that's right. James and Lily Potter. Sounds right too!"
Lily gave a smack on Jan's head before replying, "Hey, don't give me that type of crap. I hate James and I will forever hate him. No amount of match making can make me change my mind about him."
"Ouch, that hurts you know Lily. I'm just kidding. But maybe I will."
"Now stop it before I hex you, Jan."
"Okay okay, sorry. But I'm sure you wouldn't hex a friend right?"
"You wanna try?" asked Lily, slowly drawing out her wand.
"Nope. You're a mean hexer. You wouldn't even spare your own friends."
Lily laughed and placed her wand back into her robe. Lily looked at her other two best friends and shrugged.
She thought, 'How can they even get all cuddly and warm in the midst of the whole population of Hogwarts. Yuck, Sirius and JJ are snogging. Zoe and Remus are fiddling with each other's hands; I guess that they'll go much further than that if they got the chance to.' She looked from Marauder to marauder until her eyes finally rest on James. 'At least James hasn't really got a girlfriend to get all cuddly with. HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! WHY AM I THINKING OF JAMES??? DAMN IT.HE'S A RASCAL YOU KNOW. A BIG TIME RASCAL!'
A little voice in her head rang out, 'But you don't mind right? You look at his taut body and handsome looks. Look how devilish handsome he is when he turns his head from side to side letting his black hair fall down to his face. Look at how many girls swoon over him and flirt with him, but he still stays unconcern about them.'
'I guess you're right. He is quite handsome, but. .WHAT THE.YOU LITTLE VOICE, TRYING TO STEER ME OFF MY PATH RIGHT? DAMN YOU. HE IS NOT MY TYPE!!!!!' yelled Lily in her head.
'Are you sure Lils babe? I think the only girl he pays attention to is you and maybe a little to the rest of your Unicorns. You're a big-time beauty. All the boys in school tried for you but you stay pretty much the same, undisturbed, just like what James is doing. The 2 of you are both prefects, intelligent, witty, and brave especially in pranks. So picture perfect,' said the voice.
'You better get out of my head or else. The 2 of us will never be together, no matter what happens.'
'Or else what? I'm still your mind you know. You destroy me that also mean that you're destroying your own self. But you'll be surprised Lily. You'll be surprised that in the long run of life, something will change. Yes. Something will change,' faded out the voice slowly.
'Good. You're gone!' thought Lily.
'I'll be back. You wait and see,' a small voice managed to say.
'Whatever!'
Lily sighed and looked at the main entrance for the first years. The first years were walking nervously (though some were just too haughty to appear nervous), in lines of two, behind the Transfiguration Professor, McGonagall. She led them to where the sorting hat was and took out a long piece of parchment with all the names of the first years while waiting for the sorting hat to finish it's song.
I "When Hogwarts first began, There wasn't me. But during early Jan, The four founders realized In order to keep this place They needed a certain something, To sort their students for their ace. So now I stand with brains from them.
Gryffindor is where the brave rest at heart Their courage and chivalry sets them apart. Ravenclaw is for the witty and intelligent And very soon you'll call them sergeant. ((( I needed something to rhyme "intelligent", so I simply put in "sergeant".hope you all don't mind.)) Hufflepuff is just and loyal Setting themselves a place called royal. And finally, Slytherin is for those who are cunning Using every sly ways to get their means.
And so there ends my song, So put me on, then I'll say SO LONG!" /I
The song was finally finished and McGonagall started ticking off names.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
After about an hour of sorting, the feast soon began with of course, the Headmaster's speech.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I want to inform you all, that the Forbidden forest is forbidden to all students unless under close supervision by the staff. Hence the name forbidden. The Whomping Willow is also forbidden to ALL students, as there might be some creatures there that might actually give you pain no one has experienced before. I hope Hogwarts will have another fantastic year and I wish you all well in your studies. So for now, may the feast begin!" Dumbledore sat down calmly and started to feast through the chattering of the students.
Lily grabbed a butter muffin with a piece of honeyed chicken and pasta. She started to chomp on her food when James suddenly leaned over.
"Lily," James asked, breathing down her neck, "Would you like to go back to the common room with me?"
"Excuse me? If I go, you will try to catch the opportunity to shag me right? If that's the case, NO WAY!" Lily answered.
"Oh, and stop breathing down my neck. It's disgusting," she continued. Lily stood up and changed seats with a 4th year student to get away from James.
James was startled by her answer. It was the 1st time a girl rejected him, even for the breathing down the neck thing. He stared at Lily, wondering how on earth did she manage to reject him.
"Guess your tactic won't work on her. She's one tough girl from all that I know of. Too bad. James, from first year up till now you have never really given up on trying to make her either snog or shag you right? Why not you go and try to make her your girlfriend by being yourself and be nice and kind towards her?" Sirius said, stifling a laugh, knowing that this James he knows wouldn't do that at all.
"But girls like my 'pranky' self, so why should I become another person? It's not like she's different or anything. She still has the two breast, a vagina and everything a woman has. Don't worry, I get her in my bed soon," James said.
"James, she has everything a woman has, but mind you. It is not her body that controls her, but her mind. If her mind doesn't accept you, her body than would not accept you."
"Okay, okay. I got it already. Now can I eat?" asked James scooping up a little soup.
"Sure you can," answered Sirius.
"Thanks!"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Lily stood up from the table, obviously bored, and wanted to go somewhere isolated. "Should I go to the Astronomy Tower or my secret place? I think I'll go with the 2nd choice. I bet the Astronomy Tower is packed with couples snogging or maybe even shagging. Ugh! My secret place is much more 'alone'." She then started walking to where her secret place is.
James looked up from his food, bored to what Sirius and his friends were talking about. He looked around the Hall and his eyes fell on a redheaded girl who was walking away towards God knows where. He wondered, "Where is she going? Maybe if I follow her, I'll know." He then stood up and followed Lily to wherever she's going.
When James passed the Gryffindor common room, he quickly and quietly summoned his invisibility cloak to him. He covered himself totally with it and quickened his pace to follow where Lily was going.
After a few familiar turns at the hallways, Lily came to entrance doors. She pushed the great oak doors open and walked out. The winter cold air stung her face, making it rosy. Lily pulled her cloak closer to warm up her body, and continued walking towards the clearing in between the Lake and the Forbidden Forest. Her footsteps made footprints on the white snow that spread across the whole ground, but little did she know, there was another set of footprints, that do not belong to her.
Oh yeah! James was still following her all right.
Lily walked further on and she suddenly came to halt. In front of her and her invisible stalker was the most beautiful ever known. James gasped at what he saw. Tall trees circled the area in which a simple stone house covered in snow stood. Small rocks were also seen, but with something more. Little dancing fairies were circling the rocks glowing ever so brightly in different colours. Birds were singing and chirping happily on the trees giving the place some natural music.
Taking a deep breath in, enjoying the fresh air, Lily said softly, "How nice to know that this place is still as beautiful as ever. I'm surprised that the Marauders never even seen this place before. But that is good, for this is still my dream place." James snickered silently when she said it. He told himself, "Now I know all about this secret place, I can tell Sirius and all and it won't be this quiet anymore. Hmm.better follow her in now."
Lily skipped all the way to the door of the stone house and pushed open it, revealing a small fireplace, a sofa, a small table, bookshelves and a bed. As all of these things were not touched during the Hogwarts holidays, everything looked brand new. She walked inside the house and closed the door, but James still managed to squeeze himself through the door before she closed it.
Lily conjured up a fire in the fireplace and went over to the bookshelves. She randomly pulled one out, lay down on the plush purple velvet sofa and started reading it, oblivious of the person staring straight right down at her.
"Oh my goodness. Is it me or is Lily lying down on a couch totally forgetting who she is and who the person stalking her is. Hey! I'm invisible right? How could I forget that! But oh look at her legs. So long, so beautiful, so nice to touch. HEY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, JAMES POTTER! LILY ISN'T BEAUTIFUL. NO NO. SHE ISN'T. But her face is so angelic, so beautifully carved. NOW STOP THAT JAMES! LILY ISN'T WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. YES SHE MAY BE THE HOGWARTS VIRGIN BEAUTY, BUT THINK OF ALL THE BAD THINGS SHE HAD DONE TO YOU. ALL THE PRANKS SHE PULLED ON YOU," battled the thoughts in James' head. He shook his head vigorously, getting rid of all the thoughts on Lily.
After reading a few chapters of the book, Lily felt bored which was very unusual, seeing that she was a bookworm. She closed the book and placed it back into the shelf. She reached into her pockets and brought out a silver flute with a gold ribbon tied to its end. She brought it to her lips and started to play a song, which seemed tranquil yet energetic. Swaying her graceful body to the music, the aura around the whole area was like magic.
James found himself staring straight at the swaying Lily in front of him. He quickly glanced at his surroundings and found that even the fairies outside the house were dancing in rhythm to the magical music coming out from the flute. He even saw a few magical animals in the forbidden forest looking towards the direction of the music. James turned his attention back to the sweet and graceful redhead. The music soon stopped and he clapped, in response to the glorious music.
When Lily stopped playing, she heard some clapping coming right out of nowhere. Startled out of her wits, she stammered out, "W-w-who is th-th- there? Sh-show yourself!" She even got a greater shock when she saw a grinning James Potter standing right in front of her with a liquid-like cloak in his left hand.

BA/N: /B I've finally finished chapter two! Hooray!!!!! Haha! Okay, I didn't receive many reviews for the 1st chapter, but I know there's practically nothing much to review on that chapter, so here's my 2nd chapter and I hope you all readers out there would review. I thank those who did review.
Oh, and the Lily's secret place idea was actually really another idea taken from another fan fiction. So it does not really seem to be mine. So authors of fan fictions, who have this type of plot inside, please do not scold me, for I said the idea does not belong to me totally! There.and for the rest of the pranks, that would be in chapter three I hope. So please remember to R/R. Thank you soooooooooooooo much! ^_^!
