UltimateHPFreak: hey, thanks for your review! You were my first reviewer. And I see what you're saying about her waking up, and then being in her nightmare. But, if you look closely, everything is in past tense. She woke, and then I talk about the dream she "had". There are some glitches though and such. But yeah, I guess it's confusing. Sorry about that. I need ta get muhself a beta reader... *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
That morning, Lily woke up late. Everyone was gone and down to breakfast. She got up, and started to dress.
"Well, that's alright, I'm not really that hungry anyway," she thought.

Lily had a small frame for her age. She was fourteen, to be 15 next week. She had long, wavy brown hair. She often pulled it into a low ponytail tied at the base of her neck. Her eyes were soft brown with specks of blue in them here and there. Her skin was light tan, and her teeth very straight, save for her two very front teeth, which were slightly larger than the others. She rarely smiled though...she didn't have a reason to.
Her parents were dead and she lived at the school. During the summer, she stayed in her dorm and ate all her meals in the Dining Hall. Occasionally she would sneak off to the kitchens to talk with the fairies, but that didn't happen very often.
It had been this way as long as she could remember. Her parents died very soon after she was born. Her Spells and Enchantments teacher, Professor Wittel, had been a good friend to both her parents. He went to school with the both of them she had heard. She had always loved his British accent. He took her in after their death.
When Lily was six, she started school. She was the only first grader to know the way around. Her school was Salem Witches' Institute, a small girls' school. The boys' school was Salem Wizards Academy. They had all of their meals together, but every class was separate. When breakfast ended, the girls would travel down a corridor to their left, and the boys, up a staircase to the left. They wouldn't see each other again until lunch. Lily never figured out why they didn't just put the two schools together under one name, but she guesses that it had been like that for years and they never thought to change it.

As soon as Lily was dressed into her robes, Emily came bursting through the door.
"I didn't know you were going to sleep this late! I left you there thinking you'd be up in time. Breakfast just ended. I snagged you a piece of French toast if you're hungry." Emily took a bundle from her robe pocket, opening it to reveal a large piece of toast and a slice of bacon.
"No thanks," Lily refused, "I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure?" Emily pushed, "You haven't been looking good lately, you should eat."
"I'm fine, really."
"Alright then, if you're sure." Emily said right before she stuffed the toast into her mouth. "We betta huwy uph, Profesthor Lean wull kull usth if we're late!"

The two girls walked to Magizoology, careful not to grab the attention of any of the hall monitors. Just then, as they were turning the corner, they were spotted.
"What are yooou two dooooing in the hall? Is it not claaaass time?" the ghost said, a smile forming on her fat lips.
"Oh, yes ma'am, we're on our way, we just had to...to-"
"...stop by the bathroom!" Lily blurted.
"Yes, stop by the bathroom. We're on our way to class now!" Emily agreed.
With narrow eyes the ghost looked at them both, and finally let them go. "Very weeeell. If it happens agaaaain, I shall let Headmaster Pindley know immeeeediatly. Hurry now."
"Thank you ma'am," both girls said before rushing out the doors as fast as they could.
