Chapter 6- Shaky Dreams and Silly Fights
Lily and Leida headed down to dinner together with Lily still shaking slightly. "What's up with your hand?" Leida asked noticing the sudden twitch and shake of Lily's hands every now and then. "Oh it's nothing. I just had a weird dream is all." Lily replied as Leida just shrugged and they entered the Great Hall.
Lily noticed that everyone seemed to still be acknowledging the owl incident from earlier. Well all except the Slytherins that is. Lily just rolled her eyes and sat down next to Leida. Lily looked up to see the face of April Mills. Lily suddenly remembered that she had wanted to get to know this April Mills later but at the smell of fresh food Lily decided to put it off until later.
Lily had finished her meal but decided to wait on Leida who was going back for seconds. Lily turned around in her seat and stretched out her arms. It'd been about fifteen minutes before Lily realized that Leida was doing more talking with Remus than eating.
"Say Leida, I'm gonna go ahead and head back to our dorm okay?" Leida just gave her a simple okay and a wave as Lily headed out into the hallway. Lily was lost in thought about that strange dream when she bumped into something, or rather someone.
She looked up to see that she had bumped into James Potter who was standing in front of Severus Snape right in the middle of what almost seemed like a glaring contest. Lily just mumbled a quiet sorry and rushed past them up the stairs.
Once she was finally safe and sound in her dormitory Lily once again sat down on her bed. She once again felt her eyes grow heavy but quickly snapped herself out of it. 'I wonder what was up with Snape and Potter?' Lily thought. 'They looked almost as if they were ready to kill each other.'
Lily hopped up off of her bed and went to her trunk to pull out some night clothes. Her robes had been nice enough but after a while anyone would be ready for some more comfortable clothes.
Lily changed into a pair of yellow shorts and a dark blue top as she hopped back onto her bed and automatically shot under the covers. She tried to fight it but she couldn't resist the pillows were soft the covers were warm and the mattress was quite comfortable. Lily once again slipped off into a sleep. Again Lily saw green torches lit at her sides in a dim lit room and she could see something being held for her to feel. She remembered what had happened before and knew what she needed to do.
Lily reached out straight in front of her failing to feel anything. She then remembered to feel with trust. She relaxed and tried not to think too much about whatever may lie at the tip of her fingers.
She once again reached out and felt. She kept searching and moving but still she found nothing. Lily sighed and let her hand fall limply at her side that's when she felt it.
She now saw that there seemed to be a table of sorts just behind her. She let her hand wander along the wood until she felt something small and square sitting on top of the table. She felt up the side of this small box and felt the smooth edges and glossed finish. That's when she felt a crease.
It had some sort of top that she could open. Lily could feel her heart beating faster and tried to clam down but it was no use. She could now hear the beating in her ears she reached for the box and grabbed the lid. She was ready to open it, but suddenly it was gone.
Lily spun around 'What happened? I was just about to open that!' She thought when she once again heard the soft toned and strong voice speak again. 'Oh it can't be opened here. You'll have to open it there'. 'There? But where's there?' 'That is your job to find out.' the voice said in a wisp.
Suddenly, as if planned, as the wisp of the voice faded the flames rose high. They cracked and they shimmered, Lily's eyes grew wide when she saw strange markings on the wall. She moved to get a better look when the heat got in her eye. She quickly, in reflex reached up at her face and everything went black. Lily awoke shaking and breathless. She couldn't understand. The dream had not been all that frightening but there was still something about it that made her nerves jump. She couldn't believe she'd had two dreams in a row that had connected like that.
After several unsuccessful minutes of trying to calm down, Lily headed down to the Hospital Wing. She gripped every stair rail tightly as she passed and every step she took was well placed on the floor. She was hurrying but it seemed like an eternity. She stepped inside the hospital wing gripping the edge of the door to hear voices talking. "Albus you know as well as I do that we need to find it. If he gets a hold of that box, why I, well I don't want to think about all the things," a wise voice interrupted, "Poppy I do know and I fully believe that the trust I have in its guard is enough to settle the matter." It was Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey but what were they talking about?
'It's not especially polite to listen in like this,' Lily thought, 'But then again it would be rude to interrupt.' Lily's mouth changed into a grin and she snuggled closer to the edge of the door frame.
"But Albus, you know what we've heard, you know as well as I do that he's been looking for the one who can find it for him!." Pomfrey sounded worried as well as tired. "Yes Poppy I know. I know that even as we speak he may have already found them. However, I feel that we must end this conversation." there was a small smile in his voice as Madame Pomfrey huffed. "I believe you have someone who may be wanting your attention more than I."
Lily backed farther away form the door once again aware of her shaky limbs. "Ah good evening Miss Evans." the Headmaster smiled at her as he passed and Lily let out a breath of relief. She stepped inside and through the doorway to see a young woman bustling about rearranging bottles with different labels and shapes.
The woman turned to face her. "Ah and what is it I can do for you young lady?" she questioned as Lily came closer to her. "Well I, I'm really not sure actually. Oh well, it's just going to seem silly really but," Madame Pomfrey waved her hand stopping her speech, "Nonsense dear now just tell me what the problem seems to be." She smiled at Lily with a look of kindness and boredom. Almost as if she expected Lily had come to her with a head ache.
"Well," Lily shifted her feet which felt week and jittery as she lifted up a shaking hand to Madame Pomfrey whose look of boredom quickly changed to interest. "I, I had this dream and if frightened me I suppose and I can't seem to stop shaking. I had a similar dream earlier today with the same things happening when I woke up."
"Hmm I see." Madame Pomfrey picked up a clip board and wrote a few quick notes before looking back up at Lily again. "Alright now would you please open your mouth for me? That's perfect." she said as Lily obediently opened her mouth. She picked up her wand and pointed it at Lily's mouth and before Lily knew it a stream of gray mist shot from the wand and down through Lily.
She felt it going throughout her body like a lightning bolt before it once again shot back out into the air to form the letters HF SC. She looked back up at Lily and gently told her to wait here and pulled back the curtains before leaving the room.
'I wonder where's she's off to.' Lily thought, but her thoughts were soon answered when she heard the sound of the same two voices she'd been listening to moments ago making their way down the hall.
"She's nervous because of a dream you say?" asked the Headmaster. "Oh yes, and she can't seem to stop twitching and fidgeting. She also has a high temperature although her skin is cold and clammy. It sounds rather unusual and with well, what we were talking about earlier." she let her voice trail off as Professor Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, yes quite right." When they both stepped in the room Lily quickly picked up the pillow behind her and fluffed it pretending as though she'd been occupied with it the whole time.
Her curtains were pulled back to show Madame Pomfrey with a vial of some thin cloudy blue liquid in her hands. "Here dear take this," she instructed, "It's a calming potion it'll help settle your nerves." Lily took the glass with a shaky hand and let the cold liquid slide down her throat. She watched as her hand suddenly relaxed and she felt her muscles loosen their tenseness as she no longer had the need for tapping her foot anymore.
Then a new face appeared. The face of Albus Dumbledore stared back into Lily's green eyes. He smiled a kind smile at her while his eyes twinkled in the light. "Hello again." he said to her. "So I hear that you've had a bit of a startling dream Miss Evans." Lily nodded her head. "Yes sir, but I don't really think it's a big deal. In fact I'm feeling much better and I think I'll just be on my way."
Lily started to get up wanting to make a break for the door. She wasn't sure why but it was like she needed to keep this all secret to keep it all hush, hush. "Now, now Miss Evans, I don't think you're quite done here." He smiled as she sat back down. "Now then, why don't you tell me a little about this dream?" his expression made him seem harmless enough but Lily still wasn't sure so she lied.
"Well sir, I, I really don't remember too much of it. Just a few things like um there were green torches little things I don't really remember what happened." Lily looked down at the floor and pretended to find her shoes very interesting. "Ah well if you're sure Miss Evans," he looked at her with those blue eyes they seemed like they already knew she'd lied, "then I'll just be on my way." Lily nodded, "I'm sure."
"Very well, then have a good day tomorrow Miss Evans." with that he walked away leaving Lily wondering why he'd been so interested. Lily was about to leave before Madame Pomfrey called out to her. "Oh, no you don't young lady." she said with a smile. "I haven't cleared you to leave yet. I think you should stay the night just so you can be watched over a little bit." Lily nodded once again and again found herself sitting back down.
'Now Pomfrey's being weird about all this, I wonder what's up.' Lily thought to herself. Madame Pomfrey came back over to her with what looked like some pajamas and told Lily that she could get dressed in them. Lily drew back the curtains and had just pulled off her shirt when she heard Professor McGonagall's voice drifting towards the hallway.
"Honestly! The both of you really! I can't believe this! And you! Just wait until your head of house hears about this! And to think he was bragging about you yesterday! And you! I expected better from you! Imagine what your parents would think!" It was very evident that she was angry. Lily poked her head out from behind the curtains pulling the front around her.
She saw her Professor coming down the hall dragging with her two boys. Lily wasn't sure who one of them was but even from as far away as she was she recognized the messy hair of James Potter. Lily's eyes grew wide when they came closer. James looked up and smiled at her she jumped and hid back behind her curtains realizing that she still needed to get dressed.
Lily threw on the night gown and laid down on her bed. She reached over and pulled back the curtains just enough for her to see out but not enough to be noticed. Madame Pomfrey rushed over to her Head of House. "Well, well, well, and what do we have here Professor?" Professor McGonagall shoved the two boys onto separate beds. "These you were out in the hall hexing each other! They both just need a little minding before I send Mr. Snape off to his head of house, and before I deal with Mr. Potter myself!"
Lily tried hard not to laugh. They both looked like they wanted to tear each other apart, but as they both knew; they weren't even close to a magical level of attacks to do that. As Madame Pomfrey mended the two boys and muttered about something that had to do with first years, Lily rolled over in her bed and drifted off to sleep.
Whatever games her subconscious mind was playing with her, it apparently didn't want anyone else to join in. She slept through the night without a single dream. Not one that she could remember!
She awoke the next morning with a yelp. She'd woken up to Leida's face practically an inch away from hers. "Well hey there sleepy head! Rise and shine!" she smiled at Lily as she helped her get dressed. They went down to breakfast together and Leida didn't say a single word to Lily about being in the Hospital Wing. Lily was actually thankful for this; she hadn't exactly wanted the whole school knowing that she'd gone to the Wing over a nightmare.
Lily was laughing at a joke that Leida had just made about the Slytherin Quidditch team when someone caught her eye. It was Potter there he was and Lily giggled madly as she remembered the night before. She quickly whispered what she'd seen, and heard to Leida.
"You mean Potter and Snape got in a fight already?!" Leida seemed surprised. "Yeah," I nodded. "Wow," she laughed a bit, "even I couldn't manage to get into trouble within the first weeks here!" We both laughed it off and rushed off to class.
About a week went by and Lily thought it was curious that nothing too eventful had happened, when suddenly she was told they were to have their first flying lesson tomorrow, The whole of Gryffindor house was buzzing like mad! They were not only to be flying for, some of them, the first time, but they would be learning with the Slytherins.
"Leida....sometimes I wonder if they just want our houses to kill each other off," Lily said as Leida laughed. "I know what you mean. They're always pairing us up with them. It's like they want a mass murder or something!" They both laughed and headed upstairs to do some homework and unwind for the day.
Lily happily put the final period at the end of her sentence as she finished up a paper on 'How and why Levitation Charms could be, and are useful'. Just then Leida came to sit beside her.
"Hey, what are you working on?" she looked at Lily's essay curiously. "Oh just that paper Flitwick assigned us," she nodded. "That's cool. So what do you think about tomorrow?" she looked at Lily as if she expected an immediate answer. "What are you asking me exactly?" Leida rolled her eyes as if it was obvious. "I mean, how do you think you're going to do?" Lily looked down at her paper. She wasn't sure. They only time she'd ever flown anywhere she'd been on an airplane.
"I dunno, I hope I do ok, but I'll probably be the first to fall flat on the turf!" The two girls laughed as they headed upstairs to their dorms to get ready for bed. As Lily was changing into her pajamas she looked out the window. She was happy to have gotten her bed by right next to it. That's when she felt a chill go down her spine and all she could concentrate her sight on was a solitary hill just below a mountain.
Lily shook her head which diverted her attention. Her back chilled again and she quickly dove under her bed. She'd managed to snag a few bottles of dreamless sleep potions from out of the classroom. Those chills reminded her of the strange shaky dreams which she hadn't had in at least a week. She wasn't about to let herself have them again.
Lily awoke the next morning completely rested though she felt like she'd been asleep for just five minutes. It had something to do with taking the dreamless sleep potions, and so she paid it no mind.
Lily stretched as she threw on her school uniform. "Boo!" Leida said turning around the corner of Lily's bed. Lily laughed and taking one look at her friend flicked a hair tie at her. She then proceeded to run downstairs to escape the wrath of Leida's own hair ties.
That's when Lily remembered. 'Holy, goodness! We have our first fly today!' Lily rushed downstairs into the breakfast hall and started eating toast and drinking pumpkin juice. She could hardly wait to fly for the first time. Just the thought of flying on broomstick like the witches from her muggle fairytales, made her squeal with the jitters.
"Hey there, Lily! All ready for the big fly today?" Lily looked up to see someone she hardly ever talked to but knew well enough. Sirius Black took one step and sat down beside her. "Oh yeah, I cant wait to try it out. How do you think you'll do? Sirius? Sirius?" he seemed to be signaling to someone and giving them the thumbs up. Lily was confused at first but soon found out first hand what he was doing.
Lily shrieked out of surprise when she felt herself being lifted off of her chair and into the air. She turned around above the table to see James Potter had levitated her and then she realized. Sirius Black had been nothing but a distraction. Lily was madder than a hornet whens he was gently placed back into her seat. She was about to chase after Potter and show him a thing or two about magic when she saw that everyone was leaving for classes.
"I'll get you back sooner or later Potter, you mark my words!" the two boys just took off laughing as Lily gathered things together and rushed out onto the Quidditch Pitch.
A/N: I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!!! It's been forever!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAY too long, but hey! 8th grade turned out to be more of a challenge with High School Credit classes than I thought. So, anywho, now that I'm out of school for the summer (YAYNESS!!!!!) I'll be updating like crazy until the last week in July. Then things will slow down for a little while and then we'll see, but I dunno. Well I'm gonna stop hear so I can hurry up and get this posted to you guys! Laterz LEP

Lily shrieked out of surprise when she felt herself being lifted off of her chair and into the air. She turned around above the table to see James Potter had levitated her and then she realized. Sirius Black had been nothing but a distraction. Lily was madder than a hornet whens he was gently placed back into her seat. She was about to chase after Potter and show him a thing or two about magic when she saw that everyone was leaving for classes.
"I'll get you back sooner or later Potter, you mark my words!" the two boys just took off laughing as Lily gathered things together and rushed out onto the Quidditch Pitch.
A/N: I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!!! It's been forever!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAY too long, but hey! 8th grade turned out to be more of a challenge with High School Credit classes than I thought. So, anywho, now that I'm out of school for the summer (YAYNESS!!!!!) I'll be updating like crazy until the last week in July. Then things will slow down for a little while and then we'll see, but I dunno. Well I'm gonna stop hear so I can hurry up and get this posted to you guys! Laterz LEP
