Lily dropped on her bed, too tired to even think about undressing and finding her pijamas. She was about to dose off, but wanted to get to know the castle before classes started so she groaned and turned dropping to the floor. She oppened her trunk and found her alarm clock, which was thankfully close to the top.
She climbed back in bed, this time taking the time to get under the covers, and stuffed the alarm clock under her pillow after setting it for six o clock.

Sirius got comfortable in his bed by the window, and after saying goodnight to Remus, the only one ever awake when they came back from such expeditions, he cast a spell to wake him at seven o clock. He wanted to get a good start, last year he had gotten up an hour before classes and couldnt concentrate. He then cast a spell on his curtains to make them soundproof to drown the sound of Frank snoring and Remus kicking random things in the room. He curled up and fell asleep, looking much too young for what he acted.

James was lying in his bed, curtains drawned, seemingly asleep but holding a rock shaped in a cube. A chain was passed through two faces. James ran his thumb over the cubes faces, feeling each cubes little dent. The face with a dent in the right top corner was Eve's face, the one with a dent in the lower right corner was Remus', the one with a dent in the left top corner Sirius' and the lower left dent for Peter. Even if he didnt show it, hed come to care for the short boy. Peter's face was cold, so was Sirius' and Eve's, which meant they were asleep. Remus' was the temperature of the room : he was awake. James waited until that face to turned chilly, before putting a charm on the chained cube to make it melt in the wood of his bed. Only then, did he fall asleep.
At a click of her alarm clock, Lily Evans woke with a start, searching for the reason she had woken up before the alarm started ringing. She raised her head a little and slid her hand under the pillow to turn off the alarm clock.
She looked around the room, wondering if she had woken anybody else up. Didn't look like it. Kathy was in the bed beside her, sound asleep, as were the three girls in the beds on the other side of the room. Only the bed right in front of her was empty. The bed was impecably made, the little dresser beside the bed had an inkpot, two feathers aligned with the side of a little square lamp.
The space between the bedside and the dresser's side contained a couple of wooden boards that together formed a little shelf. In that shelf Lily recognised the first year books she herself had bought. They were all ordered by a specific order, which Lily didn't know.
Feeling she was spying again, she turned away and got out of bed. She made her bed – more out of pride than real habit – and took a look at the dresser she to possessed. It was smallish, but seemed okay, for a boarding school's standard. She openned the first drawer, and started to put her knickers and her bras in it. She didn't expect to fit them all in the little space, but surprisingly there was still room when she was done.
She went on the next drawer – there were only three – and put all the clothes that were part of the uniform. The ties, the socks, the skirts and the robes of course. She noted that there was a fine braid of gold, red and black thread around the hem of her robes, of the sleeves of her robes and the top of the socks.
The common room was decorated with red and gold.. and the hallway they had walked before coming through the portrait had reddish stone.. and even this room is made in red stone and well the light is quite goldish..maybe they're the colours of griffindor? I wonder what the other houses colours are.. I'll have to ask Narcissa, Melissa and Karine tonight.
In the last drawer she put all her other clothes. I hope I get a chance to wear them.. the uniform isin't really personalised. There's gotta be a social code of sorts for this school.. as soon as I can find the rules on clothing I can bend them. Lily smiled a bit, before picking a pair of baggy beige pants, with a black tang top and a set of underwears.
If I don't know the rules, its not my fault I break them – she thought with a little shrug, as she took her toothbrush, toothpaste, face cleaner and her favorite earings – a black round ball for each ear – before heading towards the bathroom that was situated on the other side of the door. She noted noone could see anyone's bed, or the bathroom from the door.
Lily came out after five minutes, still a bit drowsy but the cold water used to wash her face had helped wake her up. She took a look at her face in the the mirror on top of the dresser, and saw the water of yesterday had made it a wavy mess when it dried.
She rather liked it though, so she kept it untied. She took the black schoolbag she had bought with Miss McGonnagal on DiagonAlley and put it on her shoulder. Before leaving the room, she double checked her image and saw with a minor satistfaction her thick red hair reached her lower back – when did it ever get this long? – and that it suited her black top perfectly.
She openned the door silently, figuring that most sane people would still be sleeping at seven in the morning. She stepped out of the room and gently closed the door. Their dorm was on the first floor of the tower, on the left side of the room if you standed in the portraits openning. On the door was clearly written « Girl's First Year Dormitory » and when she looked up she saw that the tower went much higher. At her left, bordering the wall was a stair, slowly twisting up to meet an identical stair at the second floor, where Lily guessed were the girls and boys second year dorms. On the left side of the room was the other stair, which copied the first. From the second floor one big stair left and climbed straightly to a little niche between the second and third floor.
From there the stair separated and spiraled to the third floor, repeating the process until it got to the seventh floor. There the stairs ended at a platform the size of the room, the only way to see it wasnt the roof being the stairs and a spiraling staircase encased in the tower on the right side of the room. Lily supposed it was to speed up the trip down. It was quite impressing, and Lily stayed ten minutes just looking at the stairs and trying to figure out how in the world it stayed up and didnt break.
« It's gorgeous isin't it? »
Lily jumped and looked quickly down and around looking for the owner of the voice. When she saw Sirius standing beside her and looking upwards she relaxed.
« Its..amazing. » she replied, eyes openned wide and shinning, a smile on her face and gently biting her lower lip. She shaked her head a bit, as if to tell herself off, and turned to Sirius at the same time he did.
« Say Lily..we've known each other for so long.. I think I can ask you something very personal? » airily asked Sirius.
Lily laughed and told him it depended, but to go ahead and ask.
« Well..I saw you and Kathy going in the first year dorm yesterday when we got back. But you look much too old to be in that grade, and both you and Kathy act too mature to be eleven years old. So what year are you in? »
« Kathy I think really is eleven, or twelve at the most, but I agree with you, she's incredibly mature. Which doesnt mean she's an annoying kid that only listens to music if it has a five star rating. And me well.. I couldn't come to Hogwarts before this year, but I knew I was a witch, and well I'm going to have to retake all the years I missed. First two this year, then third and fourth next year, then I do fifth year, sixth year and seventh year normally. »
« Wow. So basicly, you'll go through what..three or four different groups? Aren't you scared about having to leave your friends and all? »
Lily shrugged, and replied thruthfully while looking upwards again. « I'm used to it.. I'll be fine. »
Sirius still looked a bit worried, but hid it and offered his arm to Lily in a mock dance invitation way. « MyLady, come with me to breakfast? »
She laughed and took his arm and he lead her out of the common room, sliding a little comment as they exited. « By the way you look gorgeous. »

A bit nervous when they had been walking for ten minutes without sign of the great hall, Lily was releived when she heard the clatter of plates indicating it was near. They walked in, and Lily took in the sky, greyish and moody, surprisingnly depressing. Lily noted with surprise there were about thirty people at each table. Mostly older students with a group of friend, studying theyre books and chatting, and about five first years at each table, who probably had wanted to get a head start like her.
They sat together at the Griffindor table, and ate talking about the subjects they had to do. Lily asked about all the subjects, and Sirius explained, fishing back his experiences as a first year. He secretly wondered how the heck she'd manage to do all that, he had worked his arse off during first year to learn all the new things, and he was a pureblood. When Sirius commented on how it sucked he and the boys had Potion first class this afternoon, followed by muggle studies, Lily jumped and remembered she had no idea whatshe was to do. That was pushed aside when she registered what he had said.
« Muggle STUDIES?! » asked Lily, very insulted. « You people, STUDY US?! I can't beleive it. And you actually took it? » She added, in a calmer, more disbeleiving tone.
« Why, is it really so shocking that I took that class? Yes I took it, and yes I will enjoy it. Damnit. » He added for good measure, as taken aback as was Lily.
She burst out laughing over the insulted face Sirius was pulling, glaring and pouting a little.
« You're ridiculous you know that? » She said with a smile. Then she remembered the initial reason she had jumped.
« I got to go ask someone something, so humm, I got to go okay? I'll see you..around. » She lamely finished, realising she wouldn't really see him much, and the boys either considering she was with first years and second years for the whole year, and that she was mostly friends with girls so far. She put her bag back on her shoulder, and waved at Sirius walking towards the teache's table at the end of the room. Only the headmaster and two teachers were awake. One she remembered was called Dumbledor, and the other was the potion teacher she thought.
She walked up to the headmaster, and ran her hand through her hair nervously.
« Hi, I'm Lily Evans, and I'm suppose to retake two grades during the school year.. I was wondering if there was any special arangement I should know about? »
The headmaster told her to come around the table, and she did passing by the potion master. When she got to the place where the headmaster and the Charms master Dumbledore was sitting, Dippet explained to her that she would have classes during a day of the weekend, and an aditionnal hour every day. If she needed more time they would add more, but they would start with this plan.
« So you have to chose when you want your additionnal hour, in the morning, lunch, or sometimes during the nicht. And which day you want to add, Sunday or Saturday? »
Lily thought quickly, she would hate it if it was during the afternoon.
« Well, in the morning or during lunch works for me, and would it be possible to split the day in two, so I worked Saturday and Sunday morning? If that works with the teachers of course. »
« Splendid, we'll check with the different masters but I'm sure it will work. If you take one of the first year's timestable you'll see that if you touch it it will show you the details, things you need to know and how to get to the different classes. We'll wait until you're settled in to start the additionnal classes, so in a week expect to wake earlier alright? Until then, you just follow the normal schedual. The additionnal classes will take place in the classroom they usually do. I hope you enjoy your year here Miss Evans. »
He smiled as he said the last sentence, and Lily thanked him before leaving and leaving towards the exit of the great hall.
Sirius was gone, and so Lily decided now was a good time as any to figure how to get to the common room from here.
She took off, and followed what she thought was the right way.
She climbed up the stairs at the right from the entrance of the castle, then she turned right and continued walking until she found a remotly big staircase going up. She took it, and saw a little staircase right in front of the big one. She didn't remember taking such a small stair yesterday night, but what the hell she was lost already, a little more..
She climbed and climbed but didn't seem to be getting anywhere. There were no doors openning on each floor, the only reason she knew she was actually moving was the paintings that were changing. She then noticed that the stair wasnt straight anymore, it was quite spiraly, and she was starting to be dizzy. She finally came across the end of the dreadfull stairs, and saw a little portrait of the fat lady on the door. Figuring that meant she was in an entrance to get to Griffindor tower, she said the password hesitandly. The door openned, and she walked out. When she saw she was on the last floor, and that it was awfully high, her eyes openned wide and she stepped back, holding the doorhandle tightly.
It's inhumane to put a door so high up! She thought, calming down a bit. She closed her eyes and breathed out slowly, counting to seven. Ten was too long. When she felt a hand on her shoulder she openned her eyes, seeing that there was a girl looking at her a bit worriedly.
« Are you alright? I know, that stair is just hell to walk through. Com'ere. »
Lily smiled thankfully, and followed the girl who was practicly dragging her to one of the many small tables and chairs that were sitting on the platform. They sat down, and Lily explained she had been trying to get back to the common room but had gotten lost.
« You're just a first year! Oh my god! Jez, com'ere, can you beleive that she » she pointed at Lily « is just a first year?! Oh my god! »
« What! You can't be a first year, I mean they have no body and they're frightened of their shadow, you're kidding right? »
« No I'm just a first year. » Lily said, smiling a bit uneasily. They acted quite imaturely.. just like Petunia and her friends did when they heard a bit of gossip.
« OH. MY. GOD. » the first girl said, staring at Lily.
« Hey Mark? Maaa-ark! Com'ere wouldya? Com'ere! I SAID COM. E. RE. ! »
A guy with dirty blond hair, blue eyes and broad shoulders arrived at their table.
« Wha? » he asked, grinning lazily, flipping hi hair out of his eyes.
Lily almost recoiled, the guy was just plain disturbing. And the two girls were looking at him like he was the best thing on earth! Yeargh. She hated blond sports guys, and this was clearly one of the worse kind.
« Say, how old dyou think she is? Cmon, take a guess! »
« Uh..seventeen? » He said, flashing his annoying smile at Lily.
This time Lily did recoil, and stood up spotting a stair that went down to the sixth floor.
« You know what, I have to go, my uh ironing uh things must be warm enough. So thank you for helping me, and uh, if I ever need your help again I'll just com'ere kay? » Her eyes got bigger when she heard her last words, the dreadful fumes of peroxide and nail polish were getting to her brain. She waved, smiled, and walked quickly to the stairs, catching a few sympathising glances from other tables of sane looking people.
She walked down, slowed down a bit when she got to the fifth floor, and when she got all the way down she saw the timestable of the first years were lying on a table close to the door. She took one, and went back into the dorms, eyes on the paper. When she got there, the bed and dresser that had been previously empty was occupied by a girl with short blond hair that was studying her timestable like her. Kathy was still in bed, but was sitting with the blankets around her, and she was looking at the bathroom area with an eyebrow raised.
Lily followed her gaze, and saw that the other three occupants were fighting over who would get the shower. Lily felt one of her eyebrows raising by itself, and really couldnt blame it. She turned back towards Kathy, and she mouthed : You don't wanna know.
Lily glanced back at the three girls, and turned away starting to walk towards her own bed.
« Nope I don't.. » She said to herself. Kathy giggled, and Lily heard the other girl doing the same. The girl looked up, and her blue eyes were shinning.
« They've been at it for a half hour already. » She said.
« And you just wait until they notice they only have FIVE hours to get ready! » finished Kathy, eyes wide faking fright.
The three girls laughed, and then Kathy asked where Lily had been.
« You'll never guess what just happenned. I was attacked by a hord of plastic dolls on the seventh floor. »
Yep thats all! Sorry, no boys in this chappy! Deviantart is down, artisticalley is down, all is down! Grrrrr. Ill go and try to draw a plan of the griffindor common room, because its really elaborate :) but I like how I made it, you guys?
I have to warn you all however, that yes there WILL be some slash later on in this series. Becaus I'm a slash fangirl, and that I think it is intresting to write, all theyre thoughts on it, how they feel about it, and how they go to accept it. Also, the wizarding world I beleive is very open to bisexuality and homosexuality and that it is impossible for it not to be at least a bit in here. It wont be graphic, cause Im most certainly not talented enough to write graphic scenes, so its never going to get R because of mad sex okay? Just some « Guys..I think I might be gay » Or something like that!
So far theres nothing, and as soon as it starts appearing, I'll put a warning in the summary and at the begining of the chapters containing slash, but if you don't like that don't flame because thats plain stupid. So just to warn you all, yes I intend to have romance happening in this story, and there will be some homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality.
So yeah, you are warned. But its not there right now beleive me, it takes already long enough to describe everything.
Review?
Btw, I also got myself an official disclaimer :D it's the one they put automaticly on FictionAlley, so its pretty complete. Feel free to take and put on your story, its always useful. Ahem. Lol bye.

« Hey Mark? Maaa-ark! Com'ere wouldya? Com'ere! I SAID COM. E. RE. ! »
A guy with dirty blond hair, blue eyes and broad shoulders arrived at their table.
« Wha? » he asked, grinning lazily, flipping hi hair out of his eyes.
Lily almost recoiled, the guy was just plain disturbing. And the two girls were looking at him like he was the best thing on earth! Yeargh. She hated blond sports guys, and this was clearly one of the worse kind.
« Say, how old dyou think she is? Cmon, take a guess! »
« Uh..seventeen? » He said, flashing his annoying smile at Lily.
This time Lily did recoil, and stood up spotting a stair that went down to the sixth floor.
« You know what, I have to go, my uh ironing uh things must be warm enough. So thank you for helping me, and uh, if I ever need your help again I'll just com'ere kay? » Her eyes got bigger when she heard her last words, the dreadful fumes of peroxide and nail polish were getting to her brain. She waved, smiled, and walked quickly to the stairs, catching a few sympathising glances from other tables of sane looking people.
She walked down, slowed down a bit when she got to the fifth floor, and when she got all the way down she saw the timestable of the first years were lying on a table close to the door. She took one, and went back into the dorms, eyes on the paper. When she got there, the bed and dresser that had been previously empty was occupied by a girl with short blond hair that was studying her timestable like her. Kathy was still in bed, but was sitting with the blankets around her, and she was looking at the bathroom area with an eyebrow raised.
Lily followed her gaze, and saw that the other three occupants were fighting over who would get the shower. Lily felt one of her eyebrows raising by itself, and really couldnt blame it. She turned back towards Kathy, and she mouthed : You don't wanna know.
Lily glanced back at the three girls, and turned away starting to walk towards her own bed.
« Nope I don't.. » She said to herself. Kathy giggled, and Lily heard the other girl doing the same. The girl looked up, and her blue eyes were shinning.
« They've been at it for a half hour already. » She said.
« And you just wait until they notice they only have FIVE hours to get ready! » finished Kathy, eyes wide faking fright.
The three girls laughed, and then Kathy asked where Lily had been.
« You'll never guess what just happenned. I was attacked by a hord of plastic dolls on the seventh floor. »
Yep thats all! Sorry, no boys in this chappy! Deviantart is down, artisticalley is down, all is down! Grrrrr. Ill go and try to draw a plan of the griffindor common room, because its really elaborate :) but I like how I made it, you guys?
I have to warn you all however, that yes there WILL be some slash later on in this series. Becaus I'm a slash fangirl, and that I think it is intresting to write, all theyre thoughts on it, how they feel about it, and how they go to accept it. Also, the wizarding world I beleive is very open to bisexuality and homosexuality and that it is impossible for it not to be at least a bit in here. It wont be graphic, cause Im most certainly not talented enough to write graphic scenes, so its never going to get R because of mad sex okay? Just some « Guys..I think I might be gay » Or something like that!
So far theres nothing, and as soon as it starts appearing, I'll put a warning in the summary and at the begining of the chapters containing slash, but if you don't like that don't flame because thats plain stupid. So just to warn you all, yes I intend to have romance happening in this story, and there will be some homosexuality, bisexuality and heterosexuality.
So yeah, you are warned. But its not there right now beleive me, it takes already long enough to describe everything.
Review?
Btw, I also got myself an official disclaimer :D it's the one they put automaticly on FictionAlley, so its pretty complete. Feel free to take and put on your story, its always useful. Ahem. Lol bye.
