It's About Life
Lee immediately knew something was wrong. Lily and Diana had the EXACT same expression on their faces. And it was a happy expression either-
"Lils, what's wrong?" she tenderly asked her friend.
Lily ignored her question and looked at Diana with a mixture of respect, awe, confusion, and about a million different feelings all at one. Lily KNEW she was feeling what Diana was feeling and it scared her. But even more it made her angry she felt that Diana was hiding something from them, something big.
"What is it? What do you know?" she asked Diana. The girl looked shocked for a moment but quickly composed herself. She remembered when Lily felt her feelings, because she felt them become attracted to Lily. They were trying to make a break to go to Lily and when they finally had, Diana had felt Lily, feeling her feelings ((was that English?)).
"We got some news from home a month ago. Was that about the time all this started?" she asked slowly starting to understand Dawn's mood. Lily felt it too.
"Okay spill. What are you hiding from us?" She asked.
"About a month ago we got a letter from home telling us our dad was really sick. He's supposed to be getting better but Dawn for some reason feels responsible. I don't know why but she does. She won't tell us why though," Selene explained. She could tell Diana was in a state. Lily and Lee shared a look and Lily said-
"She's telling the truth. I could tell if she wasn't."
Diana would've been curious if she hadn't felt what had just happened. She knew what she meant. She would feel it.
"Okay look if you find her don't let her do it no matter what and try to get out why she thinks she's responsible," Lily said and with that she and Lee were gone.
"What the Hell was that?" Selene asked still staring at the door.
"I have no idea, Sal," Diana answered.
Lily and Lee had finally figured out where Dawn was most likely to be. The soccer field. Unlike most magical academies, SWA, did not have a quidditch team. There had been too few girls interested when they had tried to start one so they just didn't have one. Also unlike most magical schools, SWA was particularly in the ties between muggles and witches and wizards. Because of this the Academy had many muggle sports teams and soccer was one of the most popular. Lily and Dawn were on the team and the loved it. Dawn often came out here to think and they decided today would be no exception.
Lily spotted Dawn's figure lying on the grass and immediately would've panicked if she didn't get a weird vibe from where Dawn was lying. It was a relieved, peaceful one, almost heavenly. But that did nothing to stop Lily form rushing to Dawn's side with Lee not too far behind.
"Dawn what are you doing? You had us worried sick!" Lily whispered and hugged Dawn when the girl's eyes opened.
"YEAH sunshine, you scared us to death! Why were you gonna kill yourself? And where's Reia? Isn't she with you? You didn't kill her did you?" Lily and Dawn started to giggle upon hearing Lee's babbling. When it's seemed there was no end in sight Lily put a hand on Lee's shoulder and said-
"She wasn't going to kill herself, Lee," she stepped back to allow process this. And after a moment-
"Okay then why with the sadness? AND WHERE'S REIA?" She exclaimed.
"Calm down Lee, I'm right behind you! I just went to get you guys," Reia said while unconsciously flipping her hair.
"Oh okay. But Dawn why were you so sad?" Lee asked after a moment and she sat down to show she wasn't budging until she got a answer. Dawn sighed, knowing she would have to tell.
"I don't know guys. I guess I'm worried about my dad. But I would never do that! NEVER! You guys know that!" she said feeling a little down that her own friends thought she was crazy. Lily sensed this and gave Dawn a hug, and said-
"Awe honey we don't think any less of you or anything! We just were worried about you that's all!"
"Um, Lils, did you just call her 'hunny'?" Reia teased but she was a little surprised. Lee obviously thought the same because she followed this up with-
"Uh oh Lils, I think you've been hanging out with us too much your picking up some of our Americanisms!" And at that all four laughed so hard they thought their sides would break.
END FLASHBACK
Lily stopped laughing when she remembered something. That had also been the day that her life had changed. Her three friends understood the look on her face and knew immediately that she needed to be alone.
"Hey Lils, meet us down at breakfast," Lee said giving her best friend a hug.
She was worried about Lily, she knew why she had stopped laughing. It was because she'd remembered what else had happened that day. She'd remembered her 'Destiny'. Lee gave one last look to her friend and shut the room's door behind her.
Lily knew why Lee and the others had left. They knew she needed to be alone. They knew how hard it was to live her life the way she did. They knew she hurt a lot. But what they didn't know was that Lily liked her power in a way. It made her feel special. She had been chosen. After that day she had found out how she knew what Diana and Dawn felt. She was an empath, some one who felt what other people felt. And sometimes she hated it. It was hard to control sometimes and it meant she had to exercise a lot of control, but as Mrs. Jansen had said, one day it would come in handy. She was given this gift to help people.
After enough time brooding Lily decided to make her way down to breakfast. As she got there she heard Lee saying,
"- I swear I'll kick his you know what if he is in that group! I still think he has no idea what he did to her! Of all the-," but she was cut off when she finally noticed the looks Dawn and Reia were shooting her and she turned around to see Lily grinning at her. As Lily took her seat next to Lee she asked-
"Who's you know what are you going to kick?"
"Oh no ones," Dawn answered for her. Lily raised an eyebrow at her and said delicately-
"Dawn, my dear you are forgetting that I'm an empath. I know when you are lying. Plus I happened to hear enough of Lee's rant to know it is some one. So who is it?" she asked as she took a sip of her orange juice.
"Lils did it ever occur to you that Luke could be in the group?" Lee asked trying to sound casual even though all four girls knew she wasn't being so.
"Yes it did, but the chances are slim! And if he is I'll deal with it then. Now, you guys think there will be any hot guys with them?" Lily asked trying to change the subject and succeeding beautifully.
What Lily didn't want her friends to know was that she had a very strong feeling that he would be and this scared her to death. She did not want to face him. He had severed the connections. He had stopped the relationship. It was his fault, and Lily did not want to know why. She was too scared of the answer.
"So how do you think they make them in America? Beautiful, alright, ugly what do you lot think?" Sirius Black asked the four other boys in the compartment.
At the moment they were on the Hogwarts Express headed to London where they would take something or other to their destination: Salem Witch Academy. He looked expectantly at the others and his light blue eyes sparkled with mischief and curiosity.
"I have no clue mate. I've not really met any myself," Remus Lupin the most responsible and polite of the group answered. He noticed his bangs were falling in his eyes so he pushed back the sandy brown hair back while his golden brown eyes danced. He knew what Sirius really meant. Would there be anyone worth snogging there?
"Probably all dull. Hey Luke doesn't your sister go to Salem?" James the tallest and cutest of the group asked a guy who was barely shorter than him with red-brown hair and green eyes, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Wait I didn't know you had a sister Luke!" Sirius exclaimed obviously affronted that he didn't know and James did.
Luke was finally shaken from his thoughts and said, "Huh? What are you guys talking about?" He had obviously not been listening.
"I said you have a sister? And James asked if she went to Salem," Sirius repeated slowly as if talking to a little child. Luke chuckled at Sirius's attitude before answering-
"Yes Padfoot I have a sister, and yeah James she goes to Salem. Why?" Luke asked.
"Well, then won't we see her?" James asked speaking with the same tone Sirius had used before. But before Luke could answer Sirius was bombarding Luke with questions-
"How old is she? What's she look like? Is she single? Can I snog her? Is she like a Slytherin? Why haven't we ever heard about her? Wh-," Sirius was promptly cut off by Remus's hand covering his mouth. After sending him a glare Sirius said-
"Well?"
Luke took a deep breath and tried to answer the questions in order.
"Yes we might see her; she's our age, she's my twin; I've no clue now; no clue; absolutely not; from what I know, no; we've grown apart. Would you like to see a picture of her? Mum sent me her Christmas portrait from fourth year. It's two years old though," and with that Luke whipped out a muggle wallet from no where and flipped past a few pictures to one that was done professionally. It was of a short skinny red head, with frizzled hair, braces, and the largest pimple ever on her nose.
Sirius rolled around in laughter as did, Peter and James. Remus just looked thoughtful. He looked at Luke and asked-
"Did you say this was two years old?" Luke nodded and shot him a curious look. Remus ignored it and pulled out his wand, tapped the picture twice, and muttered something under his breath. Nothing. Remus's eyes widened in shock and he looked at Luke in disbelief. By now the other boys had ceased their fits of laughter in order to see what was up.
"What's the matter Remus? You look like you have just found out something really bad, really shocking, or both," James said.
Remus ignored James and looked Luke in the eye.
"Luke your sister is powerful isn't she?" he stated. It wasn't a question.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Luke was beginning to get worried. Remus was acting really odd.
"Because I just tried to use a progression spell on that photo but nothing happened. The reasonable explanation is that she is so powerful her magic is protecting her image," he said like he really didn't want to say it but he knew he had to.
"What's a progression spell?" Peter piped up.
"It's a spell that allows you to see the object of the photograph as it is currently. That was a photo taken two years ago, she would've grown and changed. I wanted to see how she looked now so we could talk to her, but that option is out. Luke did your sister ever exhibit powers that went way above normal magic?" Remus asked giving him a stern look.
"Yes. She's telepathic, or at least she was, I don't know if her powers have grown or not."
James stares in shock. Luke's sister was telepathic? And what was this huge power she seemed to have? And of course most importantly, would any of these American girls be a good snog?
