Lily sighed, and looked around again. She was definitely lost. The corridor seemed to stretch in front of her, and endless abyss of twisted hallways and sinister paintings. Okay, maybe the paintings weren't all that bad, but she was late and they all seemed to whisper as she passed, as if they knew something she didn't. She was regretting not taking the offer the boys had made about escorting her to her first class, potions.
She sighed again, looking at a painting of an old wizard. The corridor was cold, a breeze making it drafty and sending goose bumps down her spine. The caption under the painting read 'Merlin', causing Lily to smirk. It figured they'd have paintings of fictional characters. Merlin saw her smirk and scowled back at her, aware of her thoughts.
"I would think, thou of all people, would know what is was like to be judged." Lily stopped smirking.
"Excuse me?" To her his face seemed to turn dark, scorning her for her apparent lack of knowledge. He searched her face, his black eyes taking in every feature. He noted her exceptional beauty, and her careful, cat-like grace. He noted her fright. His face didn't soften.
"Thou knows, thou hast always known." He stated carefully, fixing his eyes on hers. Lily paused, unsure of herself. Maybe this painting did know something she didn't.
"What are you talking about? What do I know?" Lily asked, somewhat timidly.
"Thou knows, knows everything but what's to come, and that's for you to decide. the future is yours." The silence of the hall was getting to her, the goose bumps intensifying on her neck. She wanted to run. "You know." He said once more, as if to make an impression.
"But what is it? Tell me!"
But the painting had turned his back on her to whisper to a portrait of a young woman with green eyes, and silvery-white hair. Over his shoulder she leered at Lily.
Lily turned and starting walking again, at a brisk pace. She wanted to get away from the painting. It's cryptic message kept echoing in her head. What did she know? All she knew right now was that she was lost.
******************** Lily stumbled into the potion's classroom 5 minutes later, being a total of 25 minutes late to class. She opened the door sheepishly, blushing as everyone in the class turned to look at her. After a minute they turned back around to their individual projects. "Miss Evans" The professor looked rather strict.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I got los-"
"Detention." The professor interrupted. She gestured toward a seat. "Everyone has already started, so you may join a group." She turned, and started walking up and down rows, critiquing the student's potions. Lily frowned, upset at making a bad impression on her first day. Sirius waved to her from across the dungeon, signaling for her to join his group. She smiled, and sat in the seat next to him, and nodded at Remus and James. Across from her sat two tall pale boys, one with black, the other with blonde hair. She waited for an introduction, but none came. Everyone decided to ignore the two and continued to work on their project. Lily cleared her throat.
"Um, guys?" they turned to look at her. She tossed her head slightly in the direction of the other two. "Introductions?" she mouthed smoothly. James scowled slightly while looking at them. "Trust me Lily, you don't want to be introduced to them." Lily raised her eyebrows, as anger flared slightly in her. James continued, "Some wizarding families are worse than others, Evans, you don't want to be making friends with the wrong sort." (Oh, how ironic!!!)
*******************_______________________________________ Ok, so how'd you like? This chapter was actually about twice as long, but it was too long for one chapter, so I had to break it up. Sorry if it's kinda a bad stopping place, but REVIEW! And I will post the second half soon. REVIEW PLEASE (or no story!)
