Poisoned Petals
Lily Evans waited patiently for Professor Dumbledore, she hoped that he wasn't going to make her drop any classes; she had chosen twice as much has she should be taking. Lily had always enjoyed school, even before Hogwarts. She was a bright student and was liked by almost all the teachers.
"Lily." The mention of her name, made her aware of Professor Dumbledore's presence. "I am aware of the amount of classes you are taking, and I am worried that you cannot handle the immense workload that comes with your choices."
"However, Lily, I have talked to the other professors. They think that with the right help, you could pull this off quite easily. We, the other professors and I, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic requesting this." Professor Dumbledore pulled a small black box out of his desk, he opened it, revealing a gold pocket watch with no numbers.
"This is a Time Turner. This item can make you travel forward and backwards in time. It's very rare, not everybody is allowed to use one."
Lily took into her own hands, wondering how it worked.
As if he could read her thoughts, Dumbledore spoke again. "Tap it once, with your wand, for hours, twice for days, three times for weeks, and four times for years. After you do that turn that little knob clockwise or counterclockwise. Clockwise for forwards,"
"And counterclockwise for backwards." Lily finished the sentence, she hoped one of her friends didn't mess around with it when she wasn't looking, the last thing she wanted was to be lost in time. Her closest friends were a group of four boys in Gryffindor ; Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and James Potter. Peter would most likely be the one to mess around with the Time Turner, he wasn't as trustworthy as the other three.
"Now, Lily, I believe your friends are expecting you in the Great Hall, If I am correct, the Sorting should be starting any moment now"
Lily smiled at Dumbledore. "Thank you , Professor."
"Oh, and Lily?" She paused at the door to hear what he had to say. "Be careful."
~*~
Lily entered the Great Hall and sat down beside her four friends. They were drawing something that looked somewhat like a map. "What are you drawing?" Lily asked trying to see over James shoulder at the piece of parchment he was scribbling on.
"Nothing." James replied quickly. Too quickly.
Sirius grabbed the piece of parchment from underneath James' quill causing ink to spread across the parchment. "It's nothing Lily, nothing you would be interested in."
Lily looked suspiciously at her four friends. "What's going on? What are you hiding from me?" She asked, her arms folded across her chest.
"Nothing Lily." Sirius told her again.
She looked at Remus, clearly expecting him to answer. But he simply said . "Just an old piece of parchment."
Yeah right. She thought. They were always getting into trouble, this parchment probably had some sort of plan.
Lily looked up and realized that the sorting hat had already started sorting the new children.
"Nottingham, Ethan" A dark-haired boy placed the Sorting hat on his head.
"HUFFLEPUFF" The sorting hat called.
"Malfoy, Marika." A girl with platinum blond hair walked up to the stool. That must be Lucius Malfoy's younger sister, Lily thought. It took the Sorting hat almost no time at all to yell "SLYTHERIN." And she went to join her brother.
"Morgan, Anna" A girl with shoulder length raven hair walked up and placed the hat on her head.
"SLYTHERIN"
"Morwood, Tracy" A girl with short blond hair and a big bright smile walked up to the stool.
"GRYFFINDOR"
"Nottingham, Ethan" A dark-haired boy placed the Sorting hat on his head.
"HUFFLEPUFF" The sorting hat called.
"Nova, Nicole."
"RAVENCLAW."
After that there was almost no Slytherins until. "Snape, Samara" Evidently this was Severus Snape's younger sister, as they shared the black hair and glittering black eyes, but on her face was a smile, and Lily guessed the younger sibling must have been nicer of the two . She too was made a Slytherin, and she took a seat by Marika Malfoy.
The Sorting continued from "Spires , Shayne" all the way to "Wilson, Morgan"
Lily decided to drop the piece of parchment, she'd find out what it was soon enough. They piled their plates with food and talked about what they did over the summer. After awhile Lily got bored of hearing the pranks they played on their family over the summer.

Over the next few days Lily used the Timeturner to attend the extra classes. She spent so much time in the library she barely saw her friends. However, she saw Molly McRoberts, a girl from her dormitory, in the library having a very cozy study session with Arthur Weasley. She found herself wishing that she had a boyfriend. Last Christmas, Professor Dumbledore hung mistletoe all around the castle and Lily and James were forced to kiss when Sirius noticed that they happened to be under it. But Lily and James were too close of friends to let anything happen, so Lily had never had a boyfriend.
Lily looked down at her parchment, she had written Lily Potter all over it in different fonts!
"Lily!" She looked up and saw James heading towards her.
Lily quickly hid the parchment as James sat beside her. "It's pretty late, you should go get some sleep, you've been working too hard lately." He reached for her schedule, which was lying on top of her Potions notes on the other side of the table, knocking some books off the table in the process. "How can you take two classes at once?" He asked.
"I'm managing." She said, gathering her stuff together. "Hey, James?"
"Yeah."
"What are you guys hiding from me? I mean, what's the piece of parchment for?"
"It's a map."
"A map?" She asked skeptically as she slung her bag over her shoulder, the weight of all the books caused her lean to one side.
James took the bag from her after seeing the effect the pressure had on her posture. "Yeah, I'll tell you all about it on the way back to the common room."
~*~
Lily was awakened by the sun the next morning, she forced her eyes open and saw Molly McRoberts opening the curtains. "Oh, you're finally awake, want to come down to the Great Hall for breakfast? I'm leaving in a few minutes.
"Sure, just let me get dressed. What are you so happy about?" Lily asked, getting up from the comfortable four poster bed, wishing she could go back to sleep.
"Well, if you must know, Arthur Weasley asked me to go steady." She blushed furiously with a smile bright as the sun.
"That's great, Molly."
After about ten minutes, Lily was dressed and they made their way to the Great Hall for breakfast. They had their bags, so they were prepared to go to class as soon as they finished eating, but Lily had the a feeling she had forgotten something.
They sat down and ate pancakes for breakfast. "He asked me in the library last night." Molly told her adding some syrup to her pancakes. "Can you believe it?"
"Well. he has fancied you since the first year." Lily said before taking a drink of her orange juice.
Molly looked down the Gryffindor table. "James Potter's fancied you for quite a while too, Lily."
Lily also looked down to the end of the table. "James and I, we're friends and nothing more, "
"Sure." Molly said skeptically. The two girls burst into a fit of giggles.

Lily had just finished Transfiguration, the halls were almost empty as students rushed to their classes, and Lily was rummaging through her bag for her Timeturner. It wasn't in her bag nor around her neck, she was also missing her History of Magic notes for her upcoming class.
Then it hit her, James knocked some stuff off the table last night in the library, and neither of them bothered to pick them up! She ran towards the library as fast as she could.
"Madam Meek." She said breathlessly to the librarian.
"Yes, Lily? Replied a woman with short blond hair and glasses.
"I seem to have forgotten some things in here last night."
Madam Meek smiled kindly. "I thought these were yours." She gave Lily the Timeturner, a book on Arithmancy and her History of Magic notes."
"Thanks Madam Meek." Lily found an empty hallway, she turned a little knob on the side and got the same dizzy feeling that she got whenever she went back an hour for a class. She wasn't exactly used to it yet.
A few minutes later she found herself in the same hallway, but something felt different about it, but she couldn't figure out what. Lily decided to ignore that strange feeling and began to run to History of Magic she was late and didn't want to get in trouble.
A minute later she collided with a boy who also appeared to be in a rush. Her and the stranger fell to the floor. "Sorry." She said as she picked up her stuff.
The boy got to his feet and held out his hand, Lily took his hand and stared at him in disbelief. Why was he helping her? "What do you want, Malfoy."
He looked at her with a confused look on his face. "Have we met before? I don't remember ever seeing you here at school. "
"Quit playing around Lucius, I have to get to class."
"Lucius is my father, who are you anyway?"
Father? What's he talking about? Lily thought. Then it hit her. she wasn't in her time! Lily looked down at the golden pocket watch, something must've happened to it when it fell off the table, she thought. She looked up at the boy. "Sorry I must've mistaken you for someone else." She said. "My name is Lily." Lily didn't want to give away to much, what if someone found out about this? She had to get back to her own time, but with the Timeturner messed up, it might take a long time.
They realized they were still holding on to each other's hand; they let go quickly. "My name's Draco Malfoy."

Stitch: I wrote this all my self! I'm proud! Lilo's off feeding Pudge his sandwich today and can't make Author's Notes with me. Chap.2 up soon. Okay, okay, I know that the Timeturner is an hourglass, but I'm making it so that the hourglass is an updated version of a Timeturner and Lily has a different older version.
Ps. Froggys are kewl
