He-ey you guys! Thank you so much for the reviews! You guys are great! Hehe. I seriously went red when I read them…LoL. Anyways, I was on vacation like a week ago so I didn't write much, and when I came back I didn't write much either because I kinda had writer's block. So here's the second chapter!

And this chapter, im going to start it from after the sorting, because, even though I tried, I couldn't write a good sorting song.

Again, you guys rock!

Chapter One:

*~*~*~*

Fearing you the most

*~*~*~*

After the First Years were sorted into their rightful houses, Dumbledore stood up in front of the school. Dumbledore raised an arm to ask for silence, and the buzzing and excitement of what was for dinner stopped.

"I don't dream of delivering a long speech to you, for I myself look forward to eating. All I will say is: 'What we anticipate will surely happen.' "

Lily frowned as she tried to read between the lines of what he said. Nada, who guessed what Lily was thinking of, said, "Don't take him so seriously, he always says things like that. Besides, it's a paradox."

Lily, who doubted Nada even knew what a paradox was, raised an eyebrow. "I mean, what we expect to happen will happen. What if we don't expect it to happen, will it still happen? Or what if we change our expectances before it happens?" Nada went on, trying to explain.

"You make no sense, Nada", Elina said, giving her friend a confused look. "You're theory is rather green. You see, what does happen has nothing to do with what we believe, or anticipate, would happen. No human makes mistakes purposefully. We interpret what will happen based on what we want to happen, not on what is logical and will most likely happen."

Lily, who was now thoroughly confused with her friends' ways of thinking, decided to change the subject, and so she commented on how "yummy the food looked". This brought the whole group's attention back to the food which had magically appeared, and the debate of whether Dumbledore's statement was right or wrong was soon forgotten.

As Lily stuffed mashed potatoes into her mouth and drank a cup of pumpkin juice subsequently, her eyes scanned the Great Hall to see where the new student she saw earlier was sitting. After searching for a few moments, she noticed him sitting at the very same table as her, right next to James Potter and Sirius Black. She gawked stupidly at the three.

"What's up, Lil?" Gabi asked curiously. She looked in the same direction as Lily, and grinned. "Aww, does Lily have a crush on James?"

Lily stopped looking at them and turned to Gabi. "Are you mad? No! Look at who's sitting with him!"

Gabi took a closer look. "Sirius? Lil, he sits with James every day."

"No! I'm talking about the new guy!"

"What? What about him? But I got to admit that he is quite fine."

"Exactly! And now James and Sirius are going to corrupt him!" James was busy chatting with 'the new guy', who seemed very interested in what James was saying.

"How would you know Lily? You know, I think you have this whole 'Sirius being a bad guy' thing all wrong", Nada commented.

Lily rolled her eyes. "Fine, James is going to corrupt him." Nada looked satisfied.

"Oh come on Lils! I'm sure James isn't going to be that bad to him!" Gabi said reassuringly. At that moment, James made a gesture that looked like something blowing up, and him and the new guy laughed.

"I bet he just showed him how to make a dung bomb. I agree with Lily, James' going to corrupt the new guy." Elina commented, watching the two like a hawk.

"If only I knew his name", Lily whispered, more to herself than the others.

Nada raised an eyebrow, got up from her seat, and walked over to where the marauders were sitting and sat beside Sirius. Sirius looked puzzled (he probably forgot he even had a girlfriend, Lily thought), but didn't make any comment. Nada asked him something, but Lily couldn't make out what she was saying. Sirius replied to her with a smirk on his face.

Nada then got up and walked back to where her friends were, and said to Lily, "His name's Rami (A/N: from now on, you guys are going to get a certain impression of him. He's kinda the type that I would consider a Knight in Shining Armor or whatever. So, he might sound a bit…too good. LoL)".

"Rami? Sounds romantic", Lily said dreamily. She glanced at Rami and saw that he was laughing at something James had said. All of a sudden, his eyes landed on her's. He flashed her a charming smile, and she nervously smiled back at him.

*-*-*-*-*-

After the deserts had come and gone and everyone was full, Dumbledore stood up once again and asked for silence. "Now that we are done having such a delicious feast, I must ask for your attention as I have to make the usual start-of-term notices. First years, as well as a few of our older students, should be aware that the Forest in the grounds is out-of-bounds to students." Lily noted that Sirius and James exchanged glances and smirked.

"Mr. Filch also reminded me to inform you that students are not allowed to bring Chocolate Frogs or any other type of chocolate inside the classrooms. Now, you may head back to your dorms." Dumbledore sat back down and started chatting with Professor Davis, the Potions instructor.

Lily, as well as some of the other students, stood up. She glanced at Remus and the two nodded in unison to one another. They both started calling all the first year Gryffindors and the older students to follow them. As the Gryffindors left the Great Hall, Lily heard the First years whispering to one another about how fascinating the school was. One student was telling the rest about how her older brother told her that there were trolls hiding behind the portraits. This caused a few students to shriek when the portraits they passed would talk to them.

Remus pointed to different directions and told the First Years the basics about the school, while Lily tried to keep her eye on some of the older students, especially the Marauders. As she watched them, she noticed that James and Rami were still talking to one another. Rami was telling James something which seemed to interest him much, for he had a smirk on his face.

After a few minutes, they reached the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. "Pig's love" Remus uttered the strange password. The Portrait of the Fat Lady, which guarded the entrance, opened to reveal the Gryffindor common room. The students rushed to get inside. After they all entered, Lily and Remus followed.

To Lily, the common room remained the same. It was a large, circular room, which was big enough for practically the whole school to fit inside. There were tables, chairs and couches inside it. Most of the objects were different shades of red, including the walls and rugs, which were light red.

"Welcome to the Gryffindor Common Room", Remus said, pointing out the obvious. "It is an area for socializing and doing work with other Gryffindors. The stairs on the left lead to the Boys' dormitory, while the ones on the right lead to the Girls' dormitory. You may now go up to your own dormitory or stay here and relax". Trust Remus to come up with something corny to say, Lily thought.

"Lily, are you coming upstairs or what?" Gabi asked, as she, Nada and Elina started walking towards the stairs heading to the Girls' Dormitory.

"Yeah, Im coming", Lily replied, heading towards their direction. As she walked towards them, she saw from the corner of her eyes two people that were looking at her direction. She was tempted to look and see who they were, but decided it was best not to. However, she had a hunch who the two were. One looked a lot like James, and the other seemed to be Rami. Her heart skipped faster at the thought of him watching, but she quickly reminded herself that James was also watching her. 

******************************************************************************

"So, Lily, did you get to talk to that guy?" Gabi asked as she looked at the mirror in the dorm. She was busy curling her hair with her fingers. Her beautiful chestnut hair was one of many things that made her attractive to the male population.

Lily looked up from the book that she was reading, Potions: NEWT level. "What guy?"

"Gabi means that guy you found cute", Elina responded for Gabi. She was busy putting on a second coat of blue nail polish on her long fingernails.

Lily laughed. "Well, he did ask me for directions when we reached school, but that was it."

"Aww, I think he likes our Lily!" Nada said in a baby-ish voice. She got up and walked over to Lily, and pinched her cheeks. Lily let out an "Ow!" and tried to pinch Nada back, but Nada was too quick for her and had already dashed away. Lily chased her around the place, trying to pinch her back. The two girls were giggling and knocking over some of the other girls' stuff.

"Grow up!" Elina yelled shrilly. Lily and Nada stopped chasing one another and went back to their own beds.

"Goodnight, all", Gabi said, as she finished fixing her hair. She darted to her own bed and pulled the curtains around it.

Lily decided it was getting late, so she got up and changed out of her school uniform into a pair of light blue pajamas. She then got into her bed, pulled the curtains around her, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

*******************************************************************************

"So…this is the Boys' dormitory, eh?" Rami asked the marauders, as he took in everything in the room. The room was very big, and contained 7 beds. Bags were lying all around the beds.

"Yup, this is it", James answered. He sat down on his own bed, and took off his socks.

"Oh, Prongs, can you please not do that? Your feet smell really bad", Sirius commented, putting his hand in front of his nose to block the awful smell. James gave him a grow-up-already look and laid down on the bed. Rami sat down on the bed on James' right, assuming that it was his bed, for his luggage was beside it.

"So, Rami, what do you think of our girls?" James asked casually. He ran his left hand through his already messy hair.

"Well, I haven't met any of them yet", Rami answered.

"What James means, Rami", Sirius interrupted, "is that you can take whatever girl you want, except Lily Evans."

Rami raised an eyebrow. "Who's she?"

"The Head Girl. The one that was showing the First Years around", James answered.

"Never saw her."

"Well, she's great. And our little Jamesie here has a crush on her", Sirius said, smirking. James rolled his eyes and blocked his face using his hands. He then shot a pillow at Sirius and missed. Sirius laughed.

Rami grinned slyly. "Ill try to keep that in mind."
