Chapter 21

Easter

Remus and James returned early next morning looking rough and tired. James couldn't concentrate through transfiguration, his favourite subject as he kept dozing off.

"Mr Potter, will you kindly wake up and pay attention. What has got into you today?" snapped Professor Dreamstone. James woke up and tried to concentrate, but it was no use, he was simply too tired. He fell asleep again and this time he saw himself. Except it wasn't him. The boy had a scar and green eyes, Lily's eyes. It was the same boy he'd seen in divination. This time though the boy was in divination and was falling asleep. Suddenly he started to scream and lay on the floor and was being peered at by everyone including Professor Trelawny who was excited. "Potter, Potter are you all right?" a voice was emerging from somewhere. He surfaced and stared at everyone. The only difference from his dream was that the teacher was Professor Dreamstone, not Trelawny. He grabbed his seat and continued as though nothing had happened.

"Are you alright Potter?" asked Professor Dreamstone looking anxious.

"Yes, I'm fine" he replied. She stared at him but decided against pressing on the matter further.

At the end of the lesson he was amongst one of the first people out. It was the Easter holiday and he was going to enjoy it no matter what.

"Hey wait up!" shouted lily. He stopped and waited for her to catch up. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I just had another dream."

"Are you staying at Hogwarts or are you going home?"

"Well since there's no one at home anymore I'm staying and so is Sirius, Vicky and Aries as they used to live with us"

"Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot. Well Katie's going on holiday"

"And Remus is going home because of the moon"

"How's Sirius after the whole Kate thing?" Lily asked changing the subject.

"He'll live, he's very moody and silent at the moment though"

"Like Katie then. It must be a shock finding out that your boyfriend or girlfriend is a deatheater"

"Yeah, hey Lils, do you want to go into Hogsmeade with me tomorrow" she blushed and James smiled.

"Yes that would be nice," she said. They went up to the common room and split off to go to their dormitories. Lily felt light-headed and was suddenly nervous about tomorrow. She started to sort through her clothes in frustration, looking for something to wear. Anna and Sarah watched her with amused expressions.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked.

"I don't have anything to wear tomorrow!" she said.

"Well, how about you borrow my pink top," said Sarah.

"And my denim skirt" said Anna.

"And my shoes" said Sarah.

"Oh! And can I do your hair?" asked Anna looking eager.

"Yes thanks!" Lily said and went to bed as it was late. She slept with a smile and had undisturbed dreams.

The next morning James and Lily left Hogwarts early and went into Hogsmeade. They filled their pockets with sweets and James dragged Lily off to look at the latest broom, the Dreamchaser. After that they went to the three broomsticks for a butterbeer.

"So, how's your revision going?" asked Lily unexpectedly.

"Fine, how about you?"

"Ok, I'm scare though, you've got to get exceeds expectations on everything to be an auror"

"What? You want to be an auror too? I never knew that! So do I!" James exclaimed happily. They had more things in common than they thought.

Later when they went back to the castle they saw Lucius with Kate and Robyn. Kate looked miserable. Poor Kate, thought Lily, Sirius was the first person to ever care about her and now she has no one.

Back in the common room James and Lily had decided to do their homework. James kept looking like he was about to ask Lily something but he didn't say it. Lily ignored him and got on with her essay about portkeys. Finally he said it. "Lily, will you go out with me?" she thought about it for a while before saying yes. James was ecstatic. He danced up to his dormitory whilst Lily finished her homework. She did it and left to go to her dormitory. Just as she went Peter came through the portrait hole. He had a job from Voldemort, but he had no idea how to do it without being detected.

The next few days dragged on and Lily and James became inseparable. They did everything together. Vicky had spent a lot of time with Anna and Sarah and Sirius was alone all of the time. He was hurt. First Katie had rejected him, then Kate was evil and now his best friend had left him. He was becoming depressed.

When the holidays past and lessons started again Lily and James were the latest couple but there was also Vicky and Remus. Sirius wasn't too happy about this at first but soon gave in. Katie was pleased for her friends but something was nagging her. That something was Sirius. Since the day of the ball she had become jealous and showed it by all of her sarcastic remarks. She would have no chance with going out with him now and it was her own entire fault. She was easily upset these days and cried all the time. No one cared for her and she cared for no one.
