Kitty: sweat drop Thanks for reviewing, nistinna. Sorry about the confusion. I'm not going to write Lily and Sirius as girl friend and boy friend if that is what you were refereeing to.
Doom: panting She was originally but Sirius has to be in his late thirties and Lily's only fifteen.
Kitty: Yea, and then like have Lily grow older or something like that but I couldn't figure out a good way to write it.
Doom: But there is a special bond between them, that's why they're so close. You'll learn more about in later chapters
Kitty: I hope we didn't confuse you even more.
Doom: Yea, Thing the disclaimer!
Thing: from the other room LADY KITTY DOESN'T OWN HARRY POTTER, JUST HER MANGAS!!!!!!

Chapter 7
Lily got out of the carriage and looked at the castle before her. "Wow, it's so big! I'm so going to get lost in there," Lily said as she walked with Harry up the stone steps.
"Lily Oden!" Lily heard her name called and looked at the door way. There stood an old woman who she had seen at Sirius's place but she couldn't remember her name.
"Professor McGonagall!" said Ron who had just come up behind them.
"Miss Lily, you are to come with me to be sorted," said Professor McGonagall.
"Yes, Professor," said Lily and she waved to the others and followed her into the castle.
"You are to wait her until you hear your name. Then you are to go through those doors," Professor McGonagall said and left Lily there. Lily leaned against the wall and watched the other students go through the doors. Soon, no one was going through the doors any more and Lily watched a herd of first years go in; soon after a song. Lily could barely make out the song. (AN: If you wish to read the song, please get a copy of the fifth Harry Potter book and go to pages 204-207.) Lily got lost in her thoughts as she heard names being called and then one of the houses. Lily's thought went to the dream she had but quickly shook it away and heard something about a transfer student.
"You are please to welcome Lily Oden!" Lily walked in wishing that there weren't so many eyes on her. Lily looked around and saw Harry and co. sitting at a table and then looked ahead after giving them a quick smile.
"Sit here," said the some witch from before. Lily did so and a hat was placed on her head.
'Interesting…I've only seen one other mind like yours,' Lily jumped at the sound of the voice in her head.
'Who are you?' Lily thought back.
'I'm the Sorting Hat. Yes, yes, Harry Potter is your brother? Yes, yes that would make scents,' the hat said as though it was talking to itself.
'What did you mean early, only one other mind like minds? Was it Harry's?'
'No, no, you know him but it's not my place to tell you who. I know which houses you should be in and you can to so well in both, it's very hard to choose.'
'Which ones?'
'Slytherin or Gryindor. But you are evenly matched between the two. I will let you decide.'
'Gryindor.'
'Very well…GRYINDOR!!" shouted the hat an it was pulled from her head. Lily nodded her head to the headmaster and went down to join Harry and the others.
"To our new comers…welcome! Let the feast begin!" said the headmaster and food appeared on the tables.
"What in the world were you talking about to the hat? You sat up there for five whole minutes if not more," asked Ron as Lily felled her plate.
"Huh? Oh the hat couldn't decide which house I should be in," Lily takes a bit of food and swallows, "it said that I was evenly matched between the two."
"Which ones?" asked Harry.
"Gryindor or Slytherin," Lily said and Ron chocked on his food.
"You're joking right?" Lily shakes her head, "Balmy, that's like having the some amount of good and evil in one thing."
"Heh, maybe I do," said Lily starting to eat again, Ron just looked at her like she had two more heads on her and Lily turned back to her food. Lily was done fairly quickly and looked up at the staff table. Her eyes landed on a toad like woman. "Who she?"
"That's Umbridge," said Harry dryly, "and she works for the ministry."
"Well then, her name is now Ministry Toad." There were a lot of snorts and giggles up and down the table.
"Are you going to give everyone nicknames?" asked Ginny a few sits down.
"Maybe," Lily said and smiled that smile that means you're up to no good. Soon everyone one was nice and full and Dumbledor stood up.
"Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices. First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students --- and a few of our older students ought to know by now too. Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. Filch's office door. We have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we also delighted to introduce Professor…"
"Ministry Toad," Lily whispered and people silently giggled.
"Umbridge, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Try outs for the House Quidditch teams will take place on the —"
Lily narrowed her eyes as Dumbledor looked at Umbridge. Then everyone else heard it, "Hem ,hem," and many people smirked at her. She began her speech and soon everyone was doing their own thing with the few exceptions. Both Lily and Hermione were listening to the speech and soon Lily was at the point of yelling at her to stop sugar-coating it and repeating herself. Lily still got what she was saying though.
"It explained a lot," Lily heard Hermione tell the boys who Lily knew weren't listioning to the speech.
"Well, what does it mean?" asked Ron after a few moments.
"It means that the ministry is going to interfere with what Hogwarts does and things like that. She was just repeating herself and sugarcoating, so that you wouldn't get it," Lily spat her anger still not quite gone. Everyone was leaving and Lily got up pulling Harry with her. "Come on, Harry, I need to get out of here."
"See ya guys," Harry said to Ron and Hermione and he lead Lily to the Fat Lady.
"Password?" she asked.
"Um, cookies?"
"Sorry, that is not the password."
"That would have been easy, huh," Lily said giving Harry a sheepish smile.
"Harry, Lily, I know it!" yelled the Frog Boy as Lily is now calling him. "Guess what it is?"
"Already did that Frog Boy."
"Mimbulus mimbletonia!" he said and the picture opened.
"Thank you for your service but it is no longer need, good night," and Lily walked into the common room. "Wow!"
"The girls dorm is that way," said Harry pointing to a stair case.
"Thanks your service is now no longer need, Good Night," Lily said and bowed a little and ran up the stairs. Lily went straight to bed because no one was in there.
Kitty: While it ended kind of lame.
Doom: lily was on sugar high sort of from eating all the junk food on the train. It kicked in late.
