Chapter Two: Waking Up
Lily woke up with a start. The dream was strange. But not so strange that she
didn't believe it was real. "Dad. I can't believe that I saw dad. And mom." she thought to
herself. But it was not uncommon for Lily to see her father around this time of day. In
fact, she had this dream very often during the week. Except for the nights when she had
dreams about God and. the endless road. The dreams had always come, and were
always alike. They always came. Always when she was anxious or extremely angry. But
unlike the dream she just had, the others always progressed. This one, however, always
ended at the flash. But unlike the others, this one, Lily already knew the way it ended.
She had been there. She had watched these events happen. She was a small baby, but
Petunia had been around four or five, so she could hold Lily. But that was when Petunia
had been nice to Lily. Since she had gotten her letter, Petunia was bitter like Robitussin.
"Strange how I always followed my father in this dream. And I had seen the little kids in
carnival in Florida. I MUST finish this dream."
Ripping the curtain around her bed away, Lily took in her surroundings. The dorm
she shared at Hogwarts with her friends was currently unoccupied, as it was Saturday and
Gryffindor's quidditch team was playing the Hufflepuff's team. Supposedly, the
Slytherin's team captain had broken his arm. Lucious Malfoy was a liar, though, and Lily
didn't believe one bit of it. "Let's see, Francesca sleeps there, and Tracy sleeps there.
Both have cleaned up. Kelsey is clean, and she sleeps there. Everything is in order." Lily
said to herself. Francesca was Lily's roommate. And one of her friends. She was of
medium height, with light brown hair and blue eyes. Tracy, another friend and roommate,
was tall, with dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes. Kelsey, yet another, was short, with
light blonde hair and honey eyes. They were all close, and they shared some feelings. But
sometimes they could all be very.. forceful. "Sometimes I'd do anything to have
Jacki here with me. She's a late sleeper like me, too." Jacki, short for Jacqueline, was
Lily's best friend. She was Lily's height, about 5 foot 6, and she had a changing
personality, which many could see in her sense of style. One day, she could be wearing
bright colors and pinkish hair with light amethyst eyes, and the next day, wearing black
and black hair with gray, stormy eyes. She was odd, but she could relate to Lily much
more than Francesca or Kelsey. But she was still in America, in Arizona, if Lily was
right. They would owl each other occasionally, but it wasn't good enough than to just talk
to her.
Suddenly, there was a loud cheering coming from the common room. "Oh, good.
We won. Before, I was sulking with quiet. Now I can sulk with noise." Lily said
sarcastically to no one. Another thing about Jacki was that she and Lily shared the same
senses. "But why sulk? You guys won. Our team sucks here." A little voice said to Lily.
It was Jacqueline's. Since their first year, Jacki and Lily had shared thoughts with each
other. They had found a spell in a book for telepathy, and they used it, with Jacki's
favorite teacher's help. She had used a stronger spell, however, and it lasted over long
distances and long amounts of time. So when Lily did something, Jacki did it, too. "I had
the dream again, Jacki. Why can't I get past the light?" Lily told Jacki. "Obviously, you
had the dream, since I had it, too. WE can't get past the light because you always wake
up." Jacki responded. "I know. What I want to know is: Why?"
"Because WE aren't ready. But here's good news: I'm moving to...dramatic pause for
effect. Where you are! Now people won't think I'm more psycho than I already am!
Seriously, they put padding on my walls. It freaked me out."
"Fun. Come quick, since I'm getting anxious. James Potter is after me...again. It's
scaring me."
"Will do. I'll get there around Christmas. Me coming is your gift. And you'll never play
with it twice and get bored and sell it to make glue!"
"Fun. I've got to go. I can here someone coming. Later."
"Bye."
Tracy burst in. "LILY!!! WE WON!!! And I'm happy! Come on. James is
looking for you." she screamed hyperly. "I'm not going!" Lily told Tracy indignantly.
"Why?"
"Because 1) I'm not dressed. 2) I don't like James. 3) I don't care if we won. I only care
about the Slytherin game."
"Right! That game is most important! But come while you can! We have chocolate!"
"I'm tired. Not even chocolate will make me come down."
"LILY CARMEL EVANS! GET DOWN HERE NOW!!!" It was Jacki.
"NO! NOT EVEN, JACQUELINE WILLOW SWANN!"
"WHY NOT? I'M COMING UP IF YOU'RE NOT COMING DOWN!"
"FINE!"
"What's up?" Jacki asked while walking through the door.
"Oh, not much. The ceiling, another floor, another ceiling, the rooftop, sky, clouds,
planes, decomposing ozone layer."
"Nice. All but the last one. That's not cool. We'll all die if it keeps on decomposing."
"For sure."
"Get dressed. I need to talk to you. This is important."
"Okay. Pick something."
"Okay." She chose a black long sleeve shirt and black torn jeans.
"Not feeling too optimistic, are we?"
"Not really. He's gone."
"Who?"
"HIM. The man of, well, not my dreams, since it would be our dreams. But he's the one.
I know it. Why is my brother on the team, to completely change the subject."
"Sirius? He applied for it. He's a beater. Not many wanted it, since the girls were afraid
of the bludgers. And the boys don't like James because he's really popular, the big
headed freak. Not going to work. WHO IS THE GUY?"
"The blonde one. With long hair and pointed ears."
"The elf?"
"Yeah. He left. He went back to Middle-Earth. His name was Legolas. I liked him. A lot.
I could have loved him if given the chance."
"I'm sure you could have."
"We need to celebrate."
"Why?"
"Because. Our team won. My old team sucked, so this is a first for me."
"Okay. Let's go. But change my hair so James won't notice."
"Okay. Cambie el color... black del pelo con toques de luz azules. {1}
Immediately, Lily's hair turned black, with blue highlights. Nodding satisfied in
the mirror, Lily turned to Jacki and said "Nice. Let's go." And Jacki responded "Okies.
Let us go into the room where the well-being of my brother and other quirky and alcohol-
craving crazies is concerned of, oh dearest friend of everlasting black and green
permanent markers. And cue the raised eyebrow." As if on cue (A/N: DUH!), Lily's
eyebrow raised. "I decided to say something relating to the commotion downstairs and be
creative while doing it." Jacki explained. "Right. Let us go, dear friend of everlasting
black and red permanent markers." Lily responded.
Walking downstairs, Jacki and Lily conversated {2} while slapping each other
playfully. "Quite honestly, we are the oddest installment in this whole school." Jacki
stated. "I don't know. We seem to be second. The Marauders are odder than we are." Lily
told her.
"That's because they haven't seen me. And they haven't seen the real you. We are going
to turn it upside-down. Literally.
"LILY! MY SWEET! Come down and sit upon me!" Came the sudden yell from James
M. Potter. {3}
Lily was horrified to say in the least. Then, with distress in her eyes, she turned
to Jacki, and she said, "You should have done my eyes, too. I should have known that he
would know my eyes."
"Maybe he knows it's you because he has the senses." Jacki said logically.
"No, he knows it's you because I told him so. He would be absolutely stumped if not for me." Tracy said, coming up the stairs towards them.
"Whatever. I'm going to the lake." Lily said, and she started to go down the stairs towards the door.
"LILY! MY LOVE! COME AND SIT WITH ME!" James yelled again.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE, POTTER!" Lily yelled at him from the foot of the stairs.
"I better go to. She'll be outside with all the Slytherins." Jacki said to Tracy.
"Yeah. I fear for her, too." Tracy answered.
"Not her. Them. I'm afraid that she'll kill one of them and go to prison. That would be
most unfortunate." Jacki said running down the stairs.
By the time Jacki reached the stairs, Lily was right next to the door, with a very
unhappy James. Paying attention to her feet and the stairs, Jacki looked up to them in
time to her a 'SLAP!' And an 'OW!' Lily had, obviously, slapped James.
"Get away from me, Potter. I will slap you again." Lily forcefully told him.
"You don't sound very convincing with black hair and that British accent, Lily. Let me
help you." Jacki said to Lily, and she changed her hair back to red. "Now you can tell
him again, no accent."
"Lily, what is she talking about?" James asked.
"I'm American. GET OUT OF MY FACE, POTTER! Don't make me slap you again."
Lily yelled at him.
James ran. Away, to say the least. His ears had been injured, and were tingling
and saying to him 'James! I'm injured!' Turning to leave, Jacki and Lily exited a very.
quiet room, if I may say so myself.

SECOND CHAPTER! I'm finised! Happy! Here is some information:
{1} Cambie el color... black del pelo con toques de luz azules: Change hair
color... black with blue highlights.
{2} Conversated: My brother's word. Yes, conversated is a word. My brother invented it.
I use it quite often.
{3} James M. Potter: I don't know James's middle name, so I made one up. 'M' stands
for Martin. (Pronounced 'Mar-teen')
See that little button down there? That lavender-ish one? It's screaming '[Insert your
name here] click me! Click me! Give this authoress a review!' Maybe you don't speak
button, and neither do I, but that's what the buttons say to me when I finish reading a
chapter. So, REVIEW!
Memo to flamers: I'm going to be grilling, so any flames will be used for steaks and
brisket, and hotdogs, and hamburgers. Thank you for feeding my family. It's very
generous of you. Any flames not used for my grill will be used to light up my fireplace
and warm my feet.
