Once Lily and Emma were up in their dorm, Lily realized she didn't want to tell Emma.

"Oh. Emma, I really don't want to talk about it actually.  I changed my mind."

"Oh no you don't. Please Lily? You said you would."

"So? Oh come on. I don't want to tell you anymore!"

"Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!! Please Lily? Tell me, now!"

"No no no no no! No Emma. I won't tell you, er, now! Or ever!"

Emma grinned at Lily's reply.

"Pllleeeeaasssseeee? With cherries on top? Or lilies, if you fancy?"

"Oh, don't go there. 'Lilies on top.' Honestly!"

"Fine. Then I'll tell the school that you - that you.  That you love Severus Snape!"

 Lily narrowed her eyes in a playful way, "You wouldn't."

"I would."

"FINE! I'll tell you. Because. I don't want to be noticed. Happy?"

"That's it. That's the grand thing you were keeping away from me?" (A/N: I know, I know! That's sort of from Pirates of the Caribbean. 'That's it then? That's the grand adventure of the famous Jack Sparrow?')

"Er, yeah. Sort of. I mean, yeah." Lily said while shuffling her feet a bit.

"And won't you tell me why?"

"No?"

"Yes?"

"Because - Oh, because people pester me and stuff. And they expect things from me, and, they're just, you know, annoying."

Emma placed her hand over her heart in pretend shock, "You mean, me? Me? The great person that I am, is," she gasped. "Annoying?"

"Very much." Was Lily's simple reply.

"Yay."

"And, also, because you know how you guys are wanting me to be vain like you all?"

Emma just stayed silent.

"Well, also because of that. Um, Emma?"

"So - so you think because we try to be vain and *normal* we're like these conceited fools are something?"

"No, No! I just don't want to be like that. That's sort of the reason I don't talk to you guys as much."

"Uh-huh. Right. Well, I think I will tell the school you love Severus Snape." Emma replied harshly as she disappeared under the hangings of her bed.

Lily just stood there in shock. She snapped out of it and stalked off to her own bed. As she lay down she sighed. 'Another reason why I should put the spell on me.' She thought.

She didn't even bother to change into her nightclothes. She just fell into a dreamless sleep, not knowing what tomorrow had in store for her

As Lily woke up and rubbed her eyes realized no body else was in her dorm. 'Maybe Emma told everyone in here about last nights talk.' She thought.

When she refreshed herself, and went outside to the common room, she was surprised also that no one was in there. Usually there was at least one or two Gryffindors lingering around.

Lily just shrugged her shoulders and headed off to the Great Hall. Again, she was surprised. Not one student or teacher was in the halls either. She brought her eyebrows down in confusion and when she finally entered the Great Hall she gasped aloud.

No one was there either. She started panicking. 'Has everyone left? Left me? Or has someone killed them all but forgot to kill me? Or is this some nasty joke?' Her thoughts raced. She decided to go to her first class, just to check if anyone was there.

She practically ran there. But soon she was relieved that everyone seemed to have just entered. Or, were they? She went to her seat while Professor McGonagall walked over to Lily.

"May I ask if you have an excuse to why you are late?"

"Huh? I'm late? I thought everyone just came in here." She realized how idiotic she had been as she realized that her fellow students had not just come in here, but they were packing up to leave.

"Um - Um, I guess I must have over-slept or - or um something." Lily stammered. But she knew that could not be true. She was the early bird. She looked over to the girls that shared her dorm and saw that they were snickering at her. Lily barely opened her mouth to gape at them as Professor McGonagall started speaking again.

"Well. I suppose since you did not attend class at all, you will receive detention tonight. With me, re-doing the class period."

Lily was relieved. She did not want to be seen scrubbing the trophies in the trophy room. "O - Okay then, professor. I'll come at 6 p.m. I suppose?"

"Yes, and keep in mind. This detention will not be as easy as class seems. Fortunately for your class here, they have no homework. But for you young lady, you should expect an essay due soon from me."

Lily just nodded and walked off as the bell rang.

She looked over helplessly at her "dorm-girls" and frowned. She thought that Emma was all right, but she was wrong.

A/N: Wow. Can you say dialogue? =D Well, this chapter was a bit weird. First Emma's like all, "You're my friend Lily!" then she seems, "I hate you Lily!" Yeah. I don't think people can hate people that fast, can they? Fine, she doesn't hate her, she just, doesn't like her? And remember. I might not update on a daily basis. Okay? Okay.
