CHAPTER THREE :: Rude Awakenings

Lily, Misty, Sirius, James and Peter walked through Diagon Alley a little more, gazing in through the shop windows. As the group walked by the Quidditch Shop the conversation changed to brooms and teams. Sirius, Misty and James pulled Remus, Lily and Peter inside the shop.

"What's Quidditch?" asked Lily and three numb faces stared at her. "What, I don't know, I've never even heard of it!"

"How can you not know what Quidditch is? It's only the best game in the world! The center of the universe! The source of everything!" Sirius exclaimed. People began to stare as he continued on.

"I'm a muggle-born, I just learned that I was a witch a couple weeks ago," Lily whispered in a small voice.

Sirius let out a breath of relief. "Well, that means we just have a lot to teach you." And teach they did, for the next 3 hours they wandered around the store showing Lily the many parts of Quidditch. They explained the rules and positions and showed her the different things used in Quidditch.

The teaching lesson was brought to a halt as they passed by the broom display. "Me and James were given money to buy a broom this year," Sirius said. There were four basic brooms in stock at that time. There was the Cleensweep 3, the Comet 140, the Nimbus 1000 and the.

"Wow, the Silverbullet! I thought that was just a myth! What's the price? Holy crap! 100 galleons!" Sirius squealed. James brought out a bag.

"Well, I think I'll get the Silverbullet," James said grabbing gold coins out of the bag. Lily's mouth dropped.

"What are you rich or something?"

"I guess you could say that," James grinned mischievously.

"He only has the wealthiest warlock as a father and only owns a house almost the size of Hogwarts!" Sirius explained. James paid the clerk and stood admiring his new broom. Sirius sighed and flipped out his pockets.

"I guess I'll just use the school brooms for now and save up," Sirius said.

"You can't just save up money," Lily said. "You have to make money too." A grin spread across Sirius' face, replacing the yearning look.

"I have my ways," he said. Turning to face Lily he said, "but if you, James, Misty, Peter and Remus wouldn't mind giving me money for my birthday and Christmas it would be helpful." Lily and Misty looked at each other and laughed.

The group of six walked back to the Leaky Cauldron where they were all spending the night until the next day. The parents all said goodbye to their children and when to the two rooms that they were all sharing. Lily and Misty went to one room while the Marauders went to another. Lily and Misty walked down once they had unpacked their clothes and went to get something to eat. They ordered some chicken and a couple of butterbeers and sat down at a table.

"What do you think of Sirius," asked Misty, blushing slightly.

"I think he's very nice and also very good in the looks department," Lily said nudging Misty a little.

"And what about you Lily? Do you fancy any of them?" Lily thought a moment. Remus was nice and all, but he seemed more like a brother would. Sirius was nice, but she didn't really like him, plus he was Misty's. Peter well was Peter. James, he was nice and charming, handsome and mysterious, but she didn't think she was quite his caliber. Lily was shy and didn't think she was all that pretty. She had too many freckles and wasn't attractive, or at least that's what she though. Her stomach flip-flopped whenever he looked at her and that had never happened to her before. He also looked a lot like the man in her dream. She had never felt this way about a boy before. She didn't really know what it was. But she knew one thing for sure; she was falling head over heels for him. But, she didn't feel ready to tell anyone about it yet.

"No one," Lily responded.

"Whatever. But I saw James taking peeks at you earlier and either both of you had a sunburn each time, but whenever you two caught each others eye your cheeks burned like a fire," Misty said, proud of being so observant. Lily shrugged and hid her blushing face behind her hair, continuing to eat. The rest of their meal was eaten in silence.

"Hi, I'm sorry I was wondering if you knew where the bathroom was?" a girl asked from behind Lily.

"Sure it's right next to the counter. Are you staying here?" Lily asked.

"Yes, we just finished buying my school supplies. I'm going to Hogwarts and this is my first year. Are you staying here too?" the girl asked. Lily and Misty both nodded. Misty spoke up.

"We are going to Hogwarts too. It's our first year. Are you staying here alone or are you with others?"

"I'm alone. In fact I was just about to go and get a room after I went to the washroom. By the way, what would your names be?" the girl asked.

"I'm Lily Evans and this is Misty Lupin," Lily answered. "And you are?"

"I'm Stephanie Goodeel," she said.

"Well, we are staying here alone with our other friends. We are the only girls so there are more beds left if you want to stay with us. We are staying in the room next to the other guy," Misty asked Stephanie. Stephanie squealed gleefully.

"I'm so glad. Thank you. I don't know anyone here. My great aunt and uncle just dropped me off," Stephanie said.

"What about your parents?" Lily asked interested.

"They both died when I was little," Stephanie sighed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Lily said.

"It's alright, I was only 3 months old and then my great aunt and uncle took me in and they have been great," she said smiling. Lily and Misty took Stephanie upstairs to their room after she had gone to the bathroom and unpacked her things with her. They walked out of the room to go to the boys' room and heard talking.

"I like Misty, she's so outgoing and drop-dead gorgeous," they heard Sirius say. Misty muffled a giggle and smiled profusely.

"Yeah that's great," James said.

"Would you put that broom down, I think you have waxed it enough times to look like a stick of butter," Sirius exclaimed.

"Maybe I like butter," James said. The three girls started giggling and Lily tripped over Misty's foot. She crashed into the door and Misty and Stephanie fell on top of her.

Remus opened the door to see three girls giggling, piled on top of each other.

"Hi Remy," muffled Misty. "How nice to see you," she said standing up. "Could we come into here for a second?" The three of them walked in, smoothing their clothes off.

"Hi Sirius, James, Peter. I would like you to meet someone. This is Stephanie Goodeel. She's a first year at Hogwarts too," Lily explained. The group started talking about random things when they began to get bored.

"How about we play twenty-one questions?" volunteered Stephanie. The rest agreed.

"If you don't answer a question you have to give the person who asked you the question a sickle," she explained. Six people gathered into a circle, Peter left to go get something to eat.

"Lily, why don't you start?" Misty asked.

"Ok, Sirius. Who do you like in this group," Lily asked. Glancing at Misty and Stephanie who muffled a giggle.

"Well, seeing as I can't afford to lose any money. I like Misty," Sirius said, immediately followed by "James, what house do you want to be in?" James immediately said Gryffindor.

"Lily, were you three listening in on our conversation earlier?" James asked with a sparkle in his eye.

"Well.Kinda, Maybe, Sorta....We didn't mean too, yes we were," Lily said, giving in.

The game carried on with pretty easy questions, because no one else really wanted to know anything about each other yet. They all decided to stay in the boy's room that night and began to play games that James had brought. Stephanie and Remus began to play Wizard's Chess and Lily, James, Sirius and Misty began to play Exploding Snap. Eventually they all fell asleep. They all slept on the floor where they had spread out all the mattresses. Remus and Stephanie were the first to fall asleep. Sirius and Misty fell asleep next. Sirius rolled over and wrapped an arm around Misty, who snuggled into Sirius. Lily and James shoved their faces into pillows to stop from laughing. James brought out some of his prank supplies and wrote down some ideas of pranks to pull this year. Lily looked over his shoulder and saw him writing down something about needing enemies. Lily and James eventually fell asleep and Lily began to dream.

~^^**^^~

A little baby was sitting in a crib. The little boy had piercing green eyes and messy brown hair with a smile drawn across his face. A wand was pressed against his forehead.

A cloaked figure screeched the words "Avada Kedavra," and a green light flashed through the entire room.

~^^**^^~

Lily bolted upwards form her sleeping position, an arm sliding off of her stomach. She had sweat pouring down her face and flashes of green appeared everywhere she looked. Lily shrieked as she remembered what had just happened. She clutched her knees close to her and cried tears of fear and confusion. The pain and suffering that the dream brought with its atmosphere was unbearable. The cruelty of the man seemed to reach an unknown and unreachable level. James awoke with Misty close by his side, covering Lily's mouth so as not to wake the others. Lily continued to shriek and cry so they carried her into the girls' room next door. Misty shut and locked the door as James carried Lily to a bed and laid her down. James and Misty sat looking worried until Lily stopped crying and her shrieks After a little prodding from James and Misty she began to talk.

"I've been having these dreams for a long time and they scare me to death every time," Lily said. Then, suddenly out of breath she breathed heavily and laid down.

"What were the dreams about?" asked James. Lily took a second deep breath and poured out the whole story, including what all the people looked like. After Lily was finished, the three just sat there staring into nothing. James couldn't help but realize that the two people she had explained in the first dream sounded like they looked like James and Lily. But that was odd, because Lily and James had never met when she had the dream. As Lily explained the stories both Misty and James realized how affected Lily was.

Misty and James stayed with Lily for the rest of the night in the girls' room. Misty rolled over and slept on the other bed while James lay awake beside Lily. He was confused, if not more then Lily, about the dreams. James decided to forget about them and rolled over. He turned back, feeling uncomfortable and scrunched up closer to Lily. She was so warm. Lily moved and formed into the shape of James' body. James was amazed at how good this felt. His heart flip-flopped as she moved in closer. His mind urged him to put his arm around her, but he didn't want anyone to see that. He concluded that he would wake up earlier and do what he had been urged to do. Wrapping his arm around her, James snuggled up to her. Her body smelt of Roses and her hair was silk to the touch. He felt the most comfortable that he had been in a long time.
