The Greeks
Hey I am glad you like the story so far. I am sorry about the last chapter. Somehow it got screwed up but I fixed it if you want to go back and reread it when it makes sense. Nothing you recognize is mine. Hope you like this story. ~stormie
When they finally made it to the Great Hall people were pointing and whispering. Some stayed away but her friends stuck by her. They sat down and ate their breakfast deep in conversation. After they finished they were getting ready to leave when Dumbledore told them to wait.
"Miss Evans, Mr. Potter I would like to talk to you. Please wait a second." All eyes were on them. Dumbledore stood up and walked over to them. "You may go to class they will be along in a second." He said to the other first years. They reluctantly walked away. "Follow me." And with that he walked off.
They followed him to a gargoyle. Lily was looking around confused. "Recess" Dumbledore said and the gargoyle jumped aside. Lily was in awe. They walked in and the floor started moving. Lily looked down and saw it was a moving staircase. They finally reached the top. He walked into an office. "Please sit down." He said. Lily and James looked nervous. "I heard that you had an interesting morning." He smiled. "What exactly happened?"
James took the lead. "I poured water on Lily and she was upset. She chased me and said a couple of jinxes but I'm fine now." He finished.
"You are not going to be in trouble so you might as well tell the truth, Mr. Potter." James blushed.
"James poured water on me while I was in bed. I jumped up grabbed my wand and chased him. I said the first thing that came to mind I was so mad. When I calmed down I realized what I had done and fixed him." Lily had explained.
"Miss. Evans, did you read the curses anywhere?"
"I might have in my charms book and then mixed some words."
"I see." Dumbledore thought a minute. "Has anything else weird happened to you?"
"Besides finding out I'm a witch?" She thought. "Well I can sometimes feel James, Remus, Sirius and Sydney's emotions if they are strong enough."
"Sir, if Lily's scarred I can also feel it. I think the others can to." James added.
"Interesting. Anything else?"
"Well sir when me and Sydney play soccer its like we know what the others are going to do before it happens. It can be coincident but I don't know."
Dumbledore was quiet again for a few minutes. "Lily, I am going to ask you to give me your wand. Then try to do something to James like you did this morning."
Lily looked skeptical "Ok." She handed him her wand. "Wingardium Levosia" James lifted off the ground and started levitating. Lily almost dropped him in her surprise.
"Just as I thought. Miss. Evans, you have an old magic. You can see the future, do magic without a wand, receive and send emotions and maybe telepathy and telekinesis. It's from ancient Greek times when the oracles existed. They had priestess who had special powers. I believe there are powers that exist in you and Sydney. It was only women who had them. Men had the counter part. I think Mr. Potter, Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin have that." He smiled
Lily and James were dumfounded. "Wait a minute professor. You mean that just because my family line is traced to the Greeks I have some magical power besides being a witch?"
"Yes, Miss Evans. These powers will mature with age but you should have full control over them soon. I would like to talk to Miss. Potter if you don't mind. Please keep this to yourself though you may tell your friends who have the powers but no one else yet." Lily and James were excited. "You can only lean how to control them by practice. But please don't show off. You may go to class now here is a note." He handed them a piece of parchment.
"Sir?" Lily asked, "why us?"
"Well, Lily, fate works in mysterious ways. I think that if James didn't have the counter part to the magic you could have done more harm. He was subconsciously fighting back. If you had lost total control with a normal student you could have caused serious harm." Lily paled. "But of course Miss. Evans you will be fine."
"Sir why are the powers so special?"
"People haven't been born with them in years. Centuries to be exact."
"Oh" Lily said. Her and James left to go to class.
When the door shut Dumbledore sighed. "Those two are in for a long ride." He went to a bookcase and started looking for a book. He finally found a dusty book with torn pages he opened it up and started reading.
The great prophets have seen. In the future the world will be ravished by a dark power.
Once man but one who lost humanity. He strove to be like the gods and be immortal. Unlike
Our great heroes he is evil. From great descent it is predicted that in the year of the dragon month
Of the twins five will come into the world with the talent reborn in them. They will save mankind
Twice but suffer greatly. When ready for the knowledge they will be marked by the twin. They
Will be five great animals. Ferocious in animal form, but deadly in human.
Dumbledore sighed again. "All my life I have been looking for these five, hoping I would never find them. Instead they have found me."
When Lily and James walked into charms class everyone looked at them. They didn't even notice. They ran over to their friends. They had so much to tell them.
"You guys ok?" Sirius asked.
"Of course." They replied at the same time with a grin. "Have you ever known us not to be?"
"We got to talk after class alone." Lily said
"Lily I'm yours, anytime or place. I knew you couldn't hide your feelings from me for long." Sirius replied. Tim had just walked up and heard the tale part of the conversation.
"Sirius shut up you know what I mean." Lily hit him upside the head.
"That you can't resist me or live another day with out me?" he asked.
"No." Lily answered
"Lily I thought I meant more to you than that." Tim almost yelled.
"Huh?" Lily was totally baffled.
"I walk up to see how you are and your flirting with another guy! Tramp!" Tim glared at her and walked off.
"What just happened?" Lily asked.
"I guess he heard what I said." Sirius responded.
"I am going to kill him. No one calls you a tramp!" James said through gritted teeth.
"Let me talk to him." Chad said. "We've know each other for a long time. Maybe he will listen." Chad walked off to the corner where Tim was. They heard yelling and he came back. "He won't even listen to me. He says I'm taking your side and lying to him."
"Ok let me handle this alone."
Lily and James had stayed in Dumbledore office so long lunch was next.
At lunch Lily wrote a note and as she walked by Tim dropped it by him. It said:
Tim We need to talk. Meet me by the lake in five. Your secret admirer
Tim looked around. Lily hadn't signed her name because she knew he wouldn't come. She walked out to the lake and sat behind a tree so Tim couldn't see her. Tim walked out but didn't see anyone.
Lily stepped out from behind the tree. "Tim we need to talk."
"No we don't we're through, over, fenetio. Got that?" He started walking off.
Lily grabbed her wand "Wingardum Levosia." Tim started floating in front of her. "No we're not done. You're going to listen first."
"What?" he's face was astonished. "Why you don't like me? You were making plans to meet Sirius later."
"No, that's where you're wrong." Lily replied.
"I heard you." Tim spat.
"Yes I was making plans to meet him but Sydney, Remus, and James would have also been there. We needed to talk. Sirius was just goofing off. He's always like that and you should know it." Lily finished.
"I'm sorry I was just so upset that I don't know what I was doing."
"Oh and if you want to live a little longer never call me a tramp. Especially when James and my friends can hear. They were about to tar and feather you."
"I'm sorry. I promise it will never happen again."
"Good. Now let's get inside. We're going to be late for our next class."
"Um, Lily could you let me down? Possibly?"
"Sorry." Lily blushed. Lily and Tim walked inside where all their friends were waiting. James was a little upset when he saw them but hid it good.
"I glad that's over." Chad said. "Now do you believe me?"
"I'm sorry you guys. I acted like a jerk, please forgive me."
"I guess." "Ok." "Let me think about it." were a couple of the responses he got. Then everyone smiled and said "of course. Just don't do it again"
Everyone soon forgot the whole incident except James and Lily. James didn't forget because it made him dislike Tim and not trust him. Lily remembered because she didn't know what had gotten into him and why he hadn't trusted her.
The next weeks passed fine. Nothing major happened unless you count a couple of Slytherins standing on tables in the Great Hall singing wild thing and dancing, courtesy of the Marauders.
One day two weeks before Dumbledore stood up at breakfast. "May I have your attention?" The hall immediately got quite. "This year the staff and I have decided to try having a ball. We want to see how students behave and maybe make it a tradition." Everyone cheered. "The ball will be on Halloween. That day all classes will be canceled for you to get ready. All may attend the ball." Immediately everyone girl was talking about what she was going to wear and every boy was talking about whom he wanted to ask. "Oh I forgot to mention that the ball was semi casual. For those who don't know what that is it means skirts and nice pants for the guys." Lily groaned at that. "That is all."
"This is great," Flair said.
"I know. Who do you want to ask you?" Carolina said.
The conversation went on like this for a while until they saw Lily with her head down. "What's wrong, Lils?" James asked.
"I have to wear a dress!" Lily wailed.
"Is that all?" James laughed.
"I like to see you wear one and not complain about them. They are so annoying. You can't run in them or play soccer and I can barely walk." Everyone laughed at her. "It's not funny. They are evil I tell you almost as bad as Snape and Malfoy." Everyone started laughing even harder if that was possible. They fell from their seats and were holding onto each other for support. James had pulled Lily down with him. "It's not funny!" She looked at them, "Ok, maybe it is" and started laughing also.
When they could breath again, they started talking about what they were going to wear.
"I've got an idea." Sydney said out of thin air. "We could talk to Veronica. Maybe she could help us."
"That's a great idea Syd. Don't forget all those new outfits we got over the summer. I think I have something to wear and so do you." Lily replied.
"Oh ya. We'll have to look tonight." Sydney said.
"Oh crap were going to be late if we don't hurry." Lily sighed. "Come on you bumps on a log we got to get to class." She started pulling James and Sirius who were still eating.
When they finally made it to class they stepped in the room right as the bell rang. "Cutting it close are we?" The professor asked.
"Never, we're just being ourselves." James replied with a grin.
"So you are. Well take a seat." Sirius walked over picked up a seat and started walking out of the room. "I did not mean to steal a seat Mr. Black. I meant sit down."
"Then why didn't you say so?" He asked puzzled. He still had the chair over his head.
"It's a figure of speech you numbskull." Sydney hissed.
"Well, was I suppose to know that?" he asked.
"Yea. Everyone does did you see any of us try to steal a chair?" Lily continued
"Well sorry Miss I know everything. I guess I am not perfect like you." He was getting kind of mad.
"We know you aren't perfect and we are. That's why we hang out with you." Sydney replied. Sirius was completely baffled at what was just said so he shook his head, smiled and said yes like he knows what was going on.
"Will you students please sit down? I would like to begin class."
"Sorry professor" James said and herded the group to a table. Nobody said much that class.
When they left the class Lily said, "Sorry 'bout what I said in class. I just think things and they slip out sometimes before I think about them."
"Its ok. So what were you and James going to tell us that day when he got jinxed?" Sirius asked.
"Oh my god! James, we never told them about the powers." Lily stopped
"Crap we totally forgot. We need to have a marauder and due-o meeting tonight." James exclaimed.
"Fine but where? The common room will be packed." Remus said smartly.
"We could see if McGonagall will let us have an empty classroom to use." Sydney suggested.
"Better let Lily talk to her. I don't think she is to happy with the Marauders right now." Sirius sniggered.
"Well you shouldn't have put a box of rotten dung bombs under her desk." Lily replied with a smile. "Oh and Peter can't come."
"He would be too afraid to walk around after dark anyway." Sydney pointed out.
"Ok so we meet in the empty classroom by the statue of the Gypsy Esmeralda" James picked out. His statement was greeted by blank stares. "It's by the bathrooms on the fifth floor." Everyone knew where that was.
That night Lily had talked to McGonagall. When they got to the room they started talking
"So why did you need to talk to us?" Sirius asked
"You know when I hexed James? Well I can do magic with out a wand and Sydney should be able to also." Lily explained.
"Nobody can do magic without a wand," Remus said.
"Watch. Wingardum Levosia." Remus started levitating.
"Ok, not funny. Where's you wand?" Sirius burst.
"I don't have it. Syd give me your wand then say a spell."
"Petrificus totalious." Sirius had the full body bind put on him.
"Wow that's cool." Sirius managed after it was taken off of him. "How can you do that?"
"Dumbledore said all of us are descendants of the Greeks. You know how they had the temples and oracles? Well the priests had special powers. They could see the future, do magic without a wand, telepathy, send and receive emotions and telekinesis." James supplied.
"Dumbledore said you guys have the counter part of the magic that we have. The strange thing is he never said what you could do." Lily continued.
"Wow so we can do that?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know. I think we have telepathy and sending and receiving emotions," James said. "Also Dumbledore said the only way to control the powers was to practice."
"Great, think what we could do to Snape." Remus said.
"One thing we aren't allowed to do is tell anyone who doesn't have the powers." Lily warned.
"Ok" Sydney said. "But, Sirius, that means no bragging."
"What's the point of being able to talk if you have to keep secrets?" Sirius asked. Everyone ignored him.
"Maybe we could look this up in the library." James suggested.
"James said go to the library? I think I'm going to faint." Lily joked.
"It's a good idea. Maybe we can figure out what the guys can do." Sydney said.
"Maybe we can sword fight" Sirius started fighting an invisible man.
"Cool it Cyrano. You're like Don Quitoe. Only he fought windmills but you fight imaginary people." Lily said.
"Huh?" all but Sydney said.
"Their noses are similar." Sydney replied
"Anyone who has a nose like me should be happy." Sirius tried to defend himself. Lily and Sydney started laughing uncontrollably "What I say?"
"Cyrano had a huge nose." Sydney managed.
"He was embarrassed by it. It made him ugly and people always stared." James and Remus started laughing.
"Sirius would be more like Christian." Sydney decided.
"Yea a pretty face but nothing inside his head." Lily finished.
"Hey I resent that!" Sirius exclaimed.
"But its so true," Sydney continued.
"Shut up. Ready to go back to the common room? Everyone will be waiting for us." Sirius pointed out.
"Sure. I'm going to talk to McGonagall. Do you want to get an empty classroom once a week to practice?" Lily asked.
"Yea let's do that." James said. Everyone else agreed.
They headed back to the common room. When they arrived, everyone was waiting for them.
