Chapter three: The Meetings
Everything went pretty smoothly when Lily got off of the Hogwarts Express.
Except for the fact that when she stepped out every boy turned their head and if they had a girlfriend, she slapped them upside the head, shooting draggers at Lily. Or when Professor Dumbledore announced the Head Girl and Boy with a tinkle in his eye, everyone gasped when Lily stood up. Other than being kicked out of her dorm by Trisha and sleeping on the couch everything was dandy.
Today was the third day at Hogwarts and every seventh year had piles of homework thus today was the day: her meeting with James Potter in Albus Dumbledore's office.
They just started school, and they already had tons of homework from every class. Lily wished she never picked Divination.
Lily threw her book, A Mind of the Future, across the room, startling quiet a few people.
Lily blushed and mumbled an apology and stumbled her way towards the book and picked it up.
She sighed in frustration, she couldn't get him out of her mind! James Potter seemed to be everywhere.
Lily looked at for watch telling her, 'Time to go,' she sighed again and made a head towards the portrait hole, but not before running into someone, it was none other than James. [This seems to be happening a lot.] She thought.
" Hi Lily!" He said cheerfully, "Do you want me to escort you to Professor Dumbledore's office m' lady?" He extended his arm, Lily hesitated before she made up her mind and put both of her arms wrapped around his. She started blushing as the headed out the portrait hole.
"This feels nice!" Was it Lily or did James just say something? She ignored that and kept walking by James.
They walked down the many staircases that Hogwarts filled and were finally on the third floor. Neither of them said anything until James broke the awkward silence with an outburst.
" Lily, earlier, when we were about to get on the train, I said some really mean things about you. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for being a jerk."
" It's ok," Lily said. " You didn't know it was me. And James?" James turned to her, "You not a jerk, your just. . .you."
Lily let go of his arm and started walking fast towards the gargoyle that was crouched down with a sword in its hand.
James blinked and ran next to her. Before he got a chance to open his mouth Lily spoke up, " Sour lemon heads."
[What?] James thought. [Was she talking to m- oh! The gargoyle!]
The gargoyle stepped aside making an entrance to a spiral staircase that led to a huge, oak door. Lily started walking up the stairs with James trailing along her again. He looked like some dog having a walk with its master.
Lily was about to knock, when they heard a voice from inside, "But she must know Minerva! It's time we tell her before it's too late. This is a serious matter we are dealing with and if she doesn't know then she could get in danger!"
What was Professor Dumbledore on about?
Lily and James quietly put their ears on the door to listen better, meaning that they were really, really close. They didn't notice.
They heard someone sigh which they assumed to be Minerva McGonagall, their Transfiguration Professor.
" Whatever you say Albus, I trust you."
Lily, having good ears, heard a chair move and silent footsteps moving towards the door. This time it was Lily's time to grab James' hand.
Lily ran a couple of steps down, dragging James, and whispered, " Just play along!"
Just as McGonagall opened the door Lily started acting like she was running up the steps. James soon caught on and started panting as they stopped in front of Professor McGonagall.
" What are you two doing here?" Minerva asked sternly.
"Head- Boy- and- Girl- meeting Professor!" Lily pretended like she was gasping for air and held on to the wall for support. James had to take all his strength to keep a strait face.
"Well! W-" "Let them in Minerva!" Dumbledore cut in chuckling and his eyes twinkled when he looked down at their hands, which somehow, never lost contact. Lily followed Albus' eyes and quickly let go of James' hand. James was disappointed in this but didn't show it.
" Well! You kids behave yourselves, especially you Miss. Evans." With that she strolled out of the room leaving Lily to ponder this. She never got in trouble, what has the Professor been drinking?
" Come! Have a seat!" Dumbledore waved his wand and an extra chair appeared. Lily sat in the seat McGonagall had been sitting before, still pondering Minerva's words.
" Miss. Evans?" Lily snapped out of her trance and looked up at Dumbledore. " Would you care to join us?"
Lily blushed and squeaked," I'm sorry Professor!"
" One should never be sorry for pondering, I have been doing it a lot myself lately." Dumbledore looked out the window then back at them.
Lily nodded, feeling embarrassed.
" Now! For the real reason you two are here! You two must up with something the seventh years will do at the end of the year, be creative, now! I will expect an answer by the latest of next week! Good day!"
James and Lily took that as their cue and got up.
Just as they were almost to the door, Dumbledore spoke up, "And Miss. Evans! Remember, thinking is a very powerful thing." He turned around in his chair and stared outside the window again. Lily and James looked at each other, shrugged, and walked out.
They were silent until they reached the Fat Lady. They said the password (sphinx's riddle.) When they reached the staircases that separated the boys and girl's dorm they stood there and starred at the ground, well Lily was while James was starring at her.
" Do you want to, you know, have some kind of study session and after that we can discuss what the seventh years are going to do at the end of the year, tomorrow? Like in the library after lunch. I mean, if you want to." James said in a hurry.
Lily looked up and smiled at James, "That would be great!"
James smiled back at Lily. They stood there for a while just smiling at each other.
" Well James, I better get to bed. See you tomorrow!"
"You can always go to my bed."
" What did you say?" She said sharply.
" I didn't say anything! Honest! I only asked if you wanted to study with me!"
" Are you sure?"
James nodded, making his hair go wild.
" Ok then, goodnight!"
" Goodnight to you too!"
Lily started to go up the stairs. Half way there, she stopped and turned around.
Good. Now, she can go to her new bed without James knowing.
Lily walked back down the stairs and over to the corner of the common room. She whispered, "Accio bed things of Lily Evans," and saw her pajamas, bed cover, and pillow come flying towards her. Lily made a grab for them, but being Lily, she ended up tangled in them on the floor. [Oh well, no one will see me, good thing I'm behind a couch in the corner. Like always, in the corner. I think I'm starting to hear things, maybe it was just Sirius playing a prank, yeah that's it!] With that thought in her head, she fell asleep in her robes.
***
" I'm glad you came Lily! At first I thought you wouldn't."
Lily slammed her books on the table James was sitting at, making Madame Prince shoot a warning look at Lily
" Me too!" Lily then fell down thinking she would land in her chair but ended up on the floor. "Owwwww!"
" Lily!" James exclaimed jumping out of his chair getting another glare from Madame Prince.
" Are you alright?" James said concerned, helping Lily get up.
" Yeah, just my butt is hurting, I'll be alright." Lily sat down making sure she landed in her chair while James sat in the chair he jumped out of.
" So, we can start on Transfiguration homework." James started.
" Ok, I might as well get the hardest done first."
So the worked and worked and worked. James first started transfiguring Lily into a butterfly and back. They were to make humans into some sort of animal that would only last one hour if you didn't reverse the spell back. Lily tried on James but only got a half ape. It was quiet a funny sight to see James with an ape bottom. When he tried to talk it came out, " Oh, who, who, who." This made Lily crack up. She tried to change him back but it came out as a dolphin's head. Lily started to freak out because he was starting to choke from lack of water and ended up making him a baboon. In the end, Lily got it right and Madame Prince was on the verge of kicking them out due to their laughter.
After that, they got though all their other lessons without any problems.
" Ok, lets decide what seventh years should do. How about a dance! No, to simple. Um, how about some field trip! No supervision and it can be to learn about muggles! But the question is were?" James said excitedly.
Both were thinking over their thoughts for a while until Lily came up with a brilliant idea.
" How about we go to the States! The Florida Keys, since it's going to be at the end of the school year! Make it better! We'll go to theme parks too!"
Both Lily and James agreed on this and went to tell Dumbledore. As they were on the third floor corridor by the gargoyle Sirius, Remus, and Peter walked up towards them.
" Hey Prongs!" Sirius said with a huge smile. Giving James a wink he asked, " What are you doing with Lily? Is there anything you aren't telling me?"
James shot Sirius a warning look and said, "We decided what the seventh years are doing at the end of the year, and I'm not telling you now!" James stuck his tongue out at Sirius and said the password to the gargoyle and marched up the stairs. Lily had no choice but to follow him leaving Sirius wondering what the heck that was all about. Shaking his head, he threw a dungbomb at a near by kid wondering why he wonders too much and how come James will never learn how to be mature.
***
" Professor, we made our decision! We want to go to the Florida Keys and some of the parks that are there! No supervision either, it can be around two or three months!" Lily said happily. Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about this.
Lily started hearing echoing around the walls that kept getting louder and louder. Lily started to scream and Dumbledore stood up so fast that he knocked down poor Fawks', his phoenix, post making the bird fly up and onto Albus' desk.
" It's happened," Professor Dumbledore muttered.
He ran over to Lily who was on the ground now, closing her ears, and body twitching. Her screaming subdued and tears were rolling down her cheeks out of her closed, bright green eyes. James was to shock to do anything but stare. Lily slowly got up and put a shaky hand on the back of the chair.
" James," Dumbledore said calmly but sternly at the same time, " Go back to the Common Room now, tell no one of this."
"B--"
Dumbledore shot him a look, which said, 'NOW!' It was creepy looking
James shutted up and walked out of the circular room casting a look at Lily before shutting the door.
" Miss. Evans, please have a seat, you'll need it." Lily obeyed.
" Now, this is hard but there's no since to beat around the bush." Albus tried to joke but Lily didn't do nothing but look at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore sighed. This was going to be harder than he thought.
" Miss. Evans, you're a. . . ."
What Professor Dumbledore said next made Lily scream hoarsely because of screaming earlier scaring quiet a few people who were taking a stroll past the gargoyle and fainted.

Hmm, I REALLY hope I get a lot of reviews for this chapter because it took hard thinking for this one. Thank you, you fan fiction readers. I think I'm going to make this story rated PG or PG13, what do you think? Ok, I'll stop rambling! Buh- bye for mow!
