Chapter four

Voldemort" said Carla.

"He wouldn't come near Hogwarts, would he?" Said Olivia. All three were then silent.


James woke up early the next morning. He saw that Peter's bed was empty. James got dressed and went down to the common room hoping to find Peter there. He wasn't there but Lily was, she was sat writing something. James left the common room and went to the library to see if Peter was there.

James was walking behind a bookcase when he heard two people talking.

"What do you mean someone knows?" Asked Malfoy with an edge of anger to his voice.

"They heard them talking" replied Snape calmly.

"How did they hear?" Asked Malfoy.

"They were near the forest and they hid when they heard the voices" said Snape.

"Who was it that heard?" Asked Malfoy.

"Evans" replied Snape slowly.

"You know, it's rude to eavesdrop" said someone. James turned round to see Lily.

"How long have you been there?" He whispered.

"Not long" she said.

"I think we should go" James said, Lily followed him and the two went back to the common room.

"I guess you want to know what's going on" said Lily as they sat down.

"Yeah that would help" said James.

"Yesterday I went for walk near the forest; I heard voices coming so I hid. One of the voices sounded like our potions professor the other was the coldest voice I've ever heard. The cold voice said what did you mean by that and our potions professor said he didn't mean anything by it but it's difficult with Dumbledore always watching. Then Snape came and put his hand over my mouth and told me to be quiet so I didn't hear what was said for a while. Then all I heard after that was our potions professor say I promise you we'll get them the reply to that was you better had then they went out of hearing. When I told Snape that I didn't know who they were he said that I wouldn't want to and with what I've just heard in the library I think something's going on." Said Lily.

"I agree something's going on and I think you should tell Dumbledore about this" he said.

"I will" said Lily.

"Do you want to hear what I think it is?" Asked James.

"Yeah I would" said Lily honestly.

"I think that Voldemort is planning something, I don't know what but whatever it is Snape and Malfoy are in on it" he said

"So what your saying is they might be death eaters?" asked Lily sounding a little shocked.

"Maybe I don't know" said James with a shrug. Lily stood up.

"I think I should I go and tell Dumbledore now" she said.

"See you later" he said as she left the common room.


Lily walked down the corridor to Dumbledore's office.

"Sugar quill" she said to the gargoyle which was the entrance to his office. It sprang to the side and she walked in and onto the moving stairs. When she got the stairs she knocked on his office door.

"Come in" Lily walked in and closed the door.

"Hello Miss Evans, can I ask why you're here?" He said.

"I'm here to tell you about something I over heard" she said.

"Please go ahead" he said. Lily told him what she'd told James. When she'd finished he said

"Thank you for telling me this" there was a light in his eyes that Lily had never seen before; it was as if he was angry but calm.

"If you hear or find out anything more please tell me" he said calmly.

"I will Professor" said Lily as she left, she went to the great hall, as it was now time for breakfast. She sat down next to Carla.

"Where have you been?" Asked Olivia who was sat opposite Carla.

"I went to see Dumbledore" she replied.

"Did you tell him?" Asked Carla.

"Yes" she said. Lily watched as James, Sirius, Remus and Peter entered the great hall. Sirius was talking to Remus who was shaking his head, Peter was looking over at the Slytherin table and James was watching her, he smiled and she smiled back then he went back to talking to Sirius.

"You are coming to watch the match, aren't you?" Asked Olivia.

"I always do" said Lily.

"See you later then" said Olivia getting up, Carla also got up.

"Good luck" said Lily

"Thanks" said Carla who had only joined the team in September.

Lily finished her breakfast then left the great hall she was thinking about going back to the common room before going to watch the match when someone called her name. She turned to see James walking towards her.

"Shouldn't you be at the quidditch pitch?" She asked

"Probably but I wanted to know if everything went ok with Dumbledore" he said.

"I told him what I heard but he seemed to change when I told him" said Lily.

"Please tell me more later I promise to listen then but if I don't get to the quidditch pitch soon Sirius will kill me" said James and started running to the pitch. Lily also went to the pitch but to the stand to watch, she was joined by Remus.

"Where's Peter?" She asked.

"He disappeared just after breakfast, said he needed to go to the library but he's been acting strange lately" said Remus.

"I noticed, what's up with him?" Asked Lily.

"He won't tell us" said Remus. There was a lot of cheering as the Ravenclaw team came out.
