I'm only up to chapter three and I've run out of ideas. I need to think. Ps lily spends a lot of time confused because I created her personality to be like mine lol. Oh I don't own characters, blah blah. I know I don't and you must be stupid if you think I could come up with all this stuff.

*writing* is what the character is thinking

Chapter 3

Lily's woes

Lily and Remus were in a chamber off the Great Hall, waiting for Professor Dumbledore and the other Gryffindor prefects. Remus was sitting on the couch, staring at the floor while Lily walked around the room, looking at the portraits and stopping to talk to a portrait of a wizard with a walrus moustache. "Hi Golados, how are you?"

"I'm alright young Lily, thank-you very much for-" he was interrupted by the sudden speech of the recently silent Remus.

"How did you know? Did James or Sirius tell you? Or was it Snape?" Remus was looking up, but avoiding eye contact.

"Sorry?" Lily had never known Remus to be so straightforward and abrupt.

"How do you know? On the train you seemed to know. that I am. well you know. Don't you?"

"That you're a." Lily cast her eyes towards the door and lowered her voice. "Werewolf?" Remus nodded.

"Well it's obvious, isn't it. I don't have shit for brains. I used to just think you disappeared for days at a time, then I noticed a pattern."

"The full moon." He looked straight into her eyes now. "I was stupid to think on one would realise."

"Well, not really. Most people at this school are pretty naïve. I'm not as simple minded." She sat down on the couch next to him. "Don't worry," she whispered. "I won't tell anyone"

The door burst open and Professor Dumbledore rushed in followed by the other prefects. "Alright, lets get started. Sorry we took so long. I had to deal with." He looked at Remus and laughed heartily. "Well you know who. You're friends are quite the mischief makers."

Dumbledore looked around the room. "Are we all here? Great. Samuel, Rebecca, congratulations on making prefects. This is Lily, Remus, Joanne and Anthony. Of cause you probably know that already, but if you ever has any questions, problems, they are the people to ask." He took a quick breath. "The password for the Gryffindor common room is le palmier, for remembrance of your summer holiday. Remember to show the first years the way, we don't want them wondering around the castle, never know what they'll run into."

Lily's eyes went blurry as she started to tune out. The train ride had been long and tiring, she wanted nothing more that to skip dinner and go straight to bed. But she had to force herself to stay awake for another couple of hours, or at least until the sorting had finished. She had a vision of James Potter coming into the room, picking her up in his strong arms and carrying her to her dorm where he would lay her down on her bed and gently stroke her hair until she eventually drifted off to sleep.

She snapped back into reality when Remus gently nudged her.

"You still with us Miss Evans?" Dumbledore asked.

"I am now, Professor."

"Good, we can go then." Lily yawned and followed the other prefects into the Great Hall, where the first years were filing in, looking up at the enchanted ceiling with amazement and all looking nervous and excited at the same time.

Lily remembered her first day at Hogwarts, she remembered being followed around by James Potter and Sirius Black who had already become friends and started in their mischievous ways. "Stop following me, losers."

"I will if you go out with me Evans."

"Why would I want to go out with a scrawny nerd like you, Potter?"

"Nerd? No one's ever called me a nerd before. I think you're seriously mistaken, you see, I'm not a nerd. I'm not scrawny and I'm not a loser. And a goody-goody muggle-born isn't gonna tell me any different." He ran his hand through his already messy hair and smiled a killer smile. "But I will leave you alone."

He turned and left, bag swinging on his shoulder.

She hated him. He was so annoying, so conceited, such a show-off.

So why was she thinking about him? Why did she think about him now differently than she thought about him three months earlier?

*No, I'm tired, I'm stressed. It was just my mind, confused. I don't like him. I can't. Can I?*
