Chapter 2

Yesterday*~

Lily sat on her bed thinking about earlier that night. She strained her mind about the little boy. He was small, young, had dark hair, and green eyes. She thought about the green light and the screams. She got out an old diary from her trunk and flipped to an open page. She pinched the bridge of her nose thinking for a second. She wrote down everything she could remember about her dream. She tapped her head with her trusty no.2 pencil. She shrugged and put the diary away. It was only a dream, she thought, it was only a dream.

Lily looked over at her watch that lay on her bed-side table. 1:32 am. She groaned and rolled over attempting to fall back asleep....It was useless! Lily could not get a wink of sleep with Whitney Sisul snoring like an elephant. She sat up and observed her surroundings.

There were 5 four-poster beds. The four other girls in her dorm were Whitney Sisul (Snore-zilla), Jessica Moore (bra-stuffer), Reese Simon (Ms.BeautyPagent), and Parker Davis (the normal one).

Whitney and Jessica were the Gryffindor bimbos that followed James Potter and his gang everywhere. They were an embarrassment to girls everywhere. Constantly flirting and giggling. It never ends! The horror The horror! Lily laughed out loud at her thoughts.

Reese and Parker were Lily's best friends. Reese had long, curly, golden colored hair and high cheek bones Lily would kill for. Reese was the pretty, positive, girl-next-door type. She was what you would call a clean freak and wasn't very athletic. Parker was the complete opposite. Parker had straight shoulder length light brown hair, caramel colored eyes, a friendly smile, and a killer body. She is super athletic and is a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Parker is the messy, wise-cracking, prank-pulling one of the three.

Lily was smart, sensitive, and caring. And wasn't real athletic but she still had a nice figure. Her friends know her as the loudmouth, smart-ass, prankster and to the rest of the Hogwarts community she was known as the shy, brainiac with no life and nothing better to do than to study every waking moment to keep herself at the top of every class. At the thought of her, her of all people, being shy! Her being shy! Ha! Shows them what they know! That was just that! She let very few people see the way she really was.

Lily gave up all hope of falling asleep. She grabbed her potions book and snuck down to the common room. Hey if she wasn't gonna sleep she might as well make the most of her time by studying for next weeks potions exam.

Lily was about seven steps from the bottom of the staircase when she tripped over her own feet and tumbled down the remaining seven steps. Lily peeled her face off the floor muttering to herself about God knows what about the stairs and her feet. She looked up to an out stretched hand. It was James.


"Need some help?" he asked holding back laughter. She grabbed his hand and he helped her back up to her feet.

"Thanks," she mumbled dusting herself off and making her way to her favorite chair once again tripping over nothing. James grinned at her.

"You sure are a clumsy one aren't you?"
"I'm not clumsy! I prefer the term accident prone!"
"So, what are you doing down here at 2 in the morning?" he asked curiously.
" I couldn't sleep, what about you?"
"I couldn't sleep either," he sighed.

The two of them sat and talked for hours about possibly every topic you could think of from clowns to Yoga. Music to gummi bears. Together they laughed the night away. Lily was starting to see something, more like someone. Someone else, someone different, someone warm. James was no longer her enemy. He was her-her...friend??? Wow! That's a change!


It seems like it was just yesterday she was calling James an arrogant, bullying toe rag, oh wait, that was
yesterday!
