Author's note: YAY! A review!!!!!! Good progress! Here comes chapter two. did anyone have a feeling the events in chapter one were coming up? Yes? No? I'm trying to make this story as unique as possible but still keeping certain qualities of characters steady. I've even started drawing out some of my characters and writing out family trees, trying to figure out who should marry who for the existence of the characters in JK Rowling's story. It's going pretty darn well. I don't have a webpage or anything, so I can't put the pictures up. Okay, me thinks this's enough rambling; on with the story!!!!!

Disclaimer: Everything in this story belongs to JK Rowling. Any character that seems unfamiliar belongs to me, I just don't feel like going through my notebook to pick out all the characters that I created!

Chapter Two- Lily's Going Back!

Lily was close enough. At the moment, all the new students had just been sorted and Dumbledore was giving the announcements.

"Welcome again to all returning students and a most warm welcome to our first years and our three transfers. A reminder to everyone to keep away from the Whomping Willow at all times, as there is no need for a repeat of last year," he said, glancing at Davy in Slytherin.

"Let's see, what else. please be mindful of your Head Boy and Girl, prefects and professors if any of you wish to have your House win the House Cup this year. Mr. Filch has been working on a list of banned items the whole summer so stop by his office whenever you can to see the list. Now that that's all settled, enjoy."

Dumbledore clapped his hands together and with the appearance of food at each House's table, the Beginning Feast commenced. Sirius nudged James.

"James, hey, take a look over there. Lucius is Head Boy."

Lucius was a stern Slytherin seventh year whose goal in life seemed to see the Marauders get expelled. James forced a grin, he was still worried about Lily.

"We're the Marauders, and no Head Boy, even Lucius, can stop us," he stated, then reached out for more food.

McGonagall was missing from the staff table; James had told her about Lily the moment he saw her and she went off to send an owl to ask the Ministry to fetch Lily if possible. Flitwick had helped in the Sorting instead. The other Gryffindor sixth year girls were quiet and sullen with Lily gone, except Jillian maybe, who was glancing hopefully at James about every five seconds. She admitted to herself that with Lily gone, it'd be much easier to get to James. Jillian had broken up with her boyfriends of two years a week ago. Then she shook the thought out of her head. Jillian definitely did not want to be like a Slytherin. She was proud of the House she was in.

After the Feast was over, the Gryffindors went up to the Tower and headed for their dormitories. Before the sixth years went to sleep, McGonagall told them that they had gotten in touch with Lily's parents and that Ministry officials would accompany Lily on a small train to Hogwarts, as to not repeat the 'incident', as McGonagall stated it and she would be arriving the following evening. The sixth years were curious as to what the 'incident' was, but McGonagall refused to answer any questions.

Lily went through insomnia that night. As soon as she had arrived back home, owls had started coming from the Ministry, so with answering letters, waiting for replies and calling the local school district to withdraw Lily from the list of students, that all took about four hours. She had settled in bed by eleven o' clock in the evening but couldn't make herself to go to sleep. With all that cleared out, all her thoughts went to Hogwarts; which houses Alaina and Jonathan were put in, how Jillian was doing, but mostly, how many people had noticed she was missing. Finally, just before she went off to sleep at two in the morning, she softly said,

"Whoever reported I was missing is about to become one of my best friends."

Lily's parents took the day off from work to drive her all the way to King's Cross. Petunia had to go to school and was quite relieved that she did. They took her as far as the platforms, where Mrs. Lischt, a ministry official and the engineer went through the barrier. Nothing much happened on the trip and Lily got there safe and sound. McGonagall and Hagrid met Lily at the Hogsmeade Station. Hagrid smiled at Lily.

"Good ter to see yeh, Lily. The trip went well?"

"Very well, thank you Hagrid." Then Lily turned to McGonagall.

"Good evening, Professor."

"Good evening. Dinner has just begun in the Great Hall. You may join your schoolmates if you want, though if you don't wish to attract attention, you may go straight up to Gryffindor Tower and eat your dinner up there."

Lily considered for a moment, then realized how tired she was.

" I think I'd best go to the Tower," Lily said. McGonagall nodded sharply.

"Very well then. Your baggage is already being brought up. Come now, it's starting to get a bit chilly."

They started walking towards the castle. Right before McGonagall and Hagrid entered the Great Hall, Lily felt the need to ask a question.

"Professor McGonagall?" She turned to Lily.

"Yes Lily?"

"Do you know who reported I was missing?" McGonagall knew Lily probably didn't want to hear who it was.

"I know who it is, but you probably wouldn't believe me. Knowing you, I believe you'll find out who it is very soon. It's a Gryffindor by the way, to make your search easier." She then smiled and went into the Great Hall.

Lily hastily made her way up to the dormitory. On the way up, she was delighted to see a house elf. She requested to the house elf to have her dinner up in her dormitory in Gryffindor Tower and the house elf was more than happy to help, skipping away to the kitchen to fetch some food. Lily grinned as she made further way to the Tower. Sixth Year had never sounded so good.

Soon after Lily started eating her dinner, the rest of the girls bounded into their dormitory. They were really excited to see Lily and bombarded her with hugs, despite Lily's warnings of her dinner being right on a very nice bed that she didn't want to get ruined on the first night. Then Lily saw Jonathan stick his head in.

"Hey Lily."

"Mr. Jonathan Rindel, you are in a girls' dormitory. Further movement into the room will take away 10 points from Gryffindor." Jonathan stayed where he was.

"Well Miss Lily Evans, nobody has quite explained the House points to me and I was wondering if a good prefect like yourself would kindly explain in to me." Lily turned to other girls.

"What do you think? Should we let him in?" As expected, the girls generally let any Gryffindor guy enter their room, just not the Marauders because they liked their room the way it was and hoped to keep it that way.

After Lily had finished explaining the House Points, Jonathan did what he did best while his little sister wasn't around with her new found attitude: making people laugh hysterically. Jonathan started telling the girls about an incident that occurred during his sixth year at Beauxbatons and was making them crack up every few seconds. Lily remembered the story, as Jonathan told her the same story some time ago in the summer and so wandered around the dormitory, counting the beds, as if to find out if Alaina had also been sorted into Gryffindor or not. A few minutes later, she found out Alaina was sorted into Ravenclaw. With that, Lily sent Jonathan off back to his dormitory. More of shoved him out the door and locked it right after him.

Several of the girls complained afterwards saying,

"Why'd you do that?"

"He wasn't doing anything wrong!"

"So his sister's in Ravenclaw. at least you'll have some classes with her!"

"Jonathan's so sweet, I can't believe you did that!" Lily just put their comments aside and prepared for bed. Right before she went to sleep, she looked around the sleepy dormitory.

"Yeah, Jonathan is kind of sweet."
