I could've flown all night. I will never get tired of that sensation. When
Bridgette finally dragged me back to our dormitory, I just lay in bed
remembering the beautiful sensation of flying. I slowly drifted to sleep,
happier than I had ever been.
The older version of me came back to me. This time she spoke to me.
"Go to the 3rd floor and on the 7th corridor there will be a door. A picture with a lily on it. The password is Evans. Open it and you will find something there."
"Lily! Wake up! We're gonna be late to class!" I heard Amy's voice ring in my ears.
I jolted up. That was the strangest dream I had ever had. But it stuck to my mind and I was anxious to see what was in that secret room.
The happiness of last night was still in me and I put on a green halter top and flare jeans with intertwining roses on the sides. I felt different. I no longer felt like hiding. I put my hair in a high ponytail, something I don't do often. I put on some green eye shadow and a pale red lip color on my lips.
Amy, Bridgette, and Clarissa looked at me surprised.
"What?" I asked as if there was nothing different about me.
They all shook their heads and we walked to the Great Hall to get a quick breakfast. As I walked in, I smelt the bittersweet smell of winter. Winter was my favorite season of all. We took a seat where we usually sat and I grabbed a biscuit and buttered it. I packed another biscuit into my bag to eat during class. I had done this for the past 3 years.
I felt a pair of eyes on me and had a chill shoot through my spine. I looked around to see who had been staring at me. My eyes landed on James, but it didn't seem as though he had been looking at me. He was in a deep conversation with Sirius. I looked at the other Marauders and I saw Remus. His eyes met mine, but he quickly looked away.
Something about Remus made him seem so.soo.secretive. His eyes held a dark secret that he wanted nobody to know about. I looked at him curiously and James caught me looking at the Marauders. He winked. What an ego-trip! I thought. I rolled my eyes.
"Let's get to class." I said.
"Never want to be late to class huh mudblood? Not worth it really, since you're just a waste of time." Lucius said with his gang behind him. As quickly as he had come, the Marauders quickly stood up with their wands out next to us.
I sighed. "You're wasting your time trying to provoke me Malfoy."
"Awwww.Did daddy teach you violence is not the answer? Or are you just afraid?" Snape sneered.
I jumped up. I could see everyone was trying to refrain James from punching Snape's guts out.
"You know nothing about my father!" I shouted and ran away. Again. I ran to the Astronomy Tower. But this time, I changed into a Phoenix. I transformed and took flight. Peace filled my mind as I soared over the lake. I relaxed from the tension that had been created.
I flew all day, completely forgetting about my classes. I went great distances, but always came back, and then went out again. Once I almost reached King's Cross. And when I came back I saw a raven. Of course I should've known Bridgette would've come after me. I flew to the perch she was sitting on.
I looked around before changing back. No one was there. Then it hit me.
"Oh my gosh! I totally forgot my classes! Oh no! Bridgette what did the classes do today! Tell me!" I said panicking.
She just giggled. "Calm down Lily. I told them that you were sick and they excused you."
"You what?!? But I have to get to class! If you told them I was sick then I can't go to any of the other classes! Oh no!" I said talking to myself more than her.
She snickered. "Lily the bookworm."
"I am not a bookworm!" I said defensively.
"Yeah, right." She said sarcastically. "Just think of this as your day off. You sure need it, that's for sure."
"Hmph." Was all I said.
"I just wanted to check up on you. Are you all right?" She asked seriously.
"Huh? Oh that. Yeah, it's just, you know how it is, and I just wished for that second that I could still have a dad, you know?" I asked sadly.
She put her arm around me. "I could be your dad."
"No thanks." I said, my mood lighter.
"I also wanted to tell you how upset Jamsie poo was." She said teasingly.
I just laughed and shook my head. "Shouldn't you be getting to class, young missy?"
"Oops! I totally forgot! Please don't give me a detention superior prefect!" She said exaggeratingly.
I just rolled my eyes at her. I then remembered that secret door.
*********************
An angry wave surged through me. How dare he pick on her? I thought. I was about to punch him to oblivion when I was refrained by my friends.
"Awwww.Did daddy teach you violence is not the answer? Or are you just afraid?" Snape said with an ugly drawling voice.
"You know nothing about my father!" She yelled with pain. And she ran. I quickly glared at Snape and Malfoy, seeing that they had sneers on their faces, and ran after her. Sirius, Remus, and Peter following me, and then Bridgette, Clarissa, and Amy.
"Shame on you." She said coldly. We all ran to where she was running. We found her going up to the Astronomy Tower. Oh no! I thought. She wouldn't do that again would she? We all stole glances to each other and followed her up the Astronomy Tower. When we got up there, she wasn't there.
I looked down and her body wasn't there either. Where'd she go? I thought. I looked out to the lake and saw a phoenix soaring over it. How often do you see that? I asked myself. I was mesmerized by its beauty. So graceful and elegant. Flying like there's no tomorrow.
Then I felt someone tugging my back. I looked over my shoulder and saw Bridgette pulling me back. I did not restrain. We all walked to our classes in silence. Clarissa, Remus, Peter and Amy usually went to Transfiguration first. Bridgette, Lily, Sirius, and I usually had Herbology first.
What if Lily doesn't come to class? She's never missed a single class since first year.
"Bridgette, do you think Lily will come to class?" She looked startled by me asking her a question.
"Ummm.. I don't think so."
"Where do you think she is?"
"She's uh. just taking a day off."
*********************
What was it again? 3rd floor..Something corridor..and a picture of a lily. Password was my last name. I walked up to the 3rd floor and looked down several corridors. The 7th one I looked down had a picture of a lily on it.
"Evans." I said apprehensively. The door slowly opened and there layed a journal. I picked up the journal as if it were a piece of glass. I opened it up to the first page.
It's been very hard to keep Jonathon from knowing. I have to be especially careful to make sure that I don't do magic in front of him. He's been suspicious of me being a witch for the past few days. But good news is that Lily was born. She's such a beautiful child. I just hope she's a witch as well. I hope that Jonathon and I can work out this relationship. He's changed over the years and now he's a different person than he used to be.
I think I'm going to tell Jonathon about me. I just can't hide it anymore. I don't know how he'll take it, but I wish he'll take it well.
Hope for the best,
Rachel Evans
I looked up in surprise. She's my mom. My real mom. I became angry. How come Jonathon never told me about this?!? I became overwhelmed with emotions. Confused, angry, sad, anxious, happy, stressed. Wouldn't you be?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That's it for now! Sorry for the long wait and for the kind of boring chapter. I need you people to tell me if it's good or not. And tell me, who do you like more? Sirius or Remus? I need to see who likes who better for my story. Much thanks!
