Chapter ten
"May I keep the letters?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes professor" James replied.
"Thank you" Dumbledore said. Both Carla and James knew this as a dismissal and left Dumbledore's office.
Lily was stood looking out of the window, seeing if there was any clue of where she was but the surroundings were bleak and didn't tell anything about where she was.
She sat against the wall and sighed wishing that she was anywhere but there.
The door opened and Lily looked up as a cloaked figure brought some food in and placed it on the table then left.
Lily looked over at the food but decided not to eat anything uncase it was poisoned.
It was sometime later that evening and James was heading for the Gryffindor common room.
"What did you say to Dumbledore, Potter?" James turned round to Malfoy.
"Where is she?" Asked James ignoring what Malfoy had said.
"Who?" Said Malfoy.
"You know who, Lily" James said starting to lose his temper with Malfoy.
"I don't know what you're on about" Malfoy muttered.
"Don't act dumber than you already are" James said angrily. Malfoy just turned to leave.
"So where's Voldemort then?" Asked James, Malfoy stopped walking.
"What scared to hear your Masters name" taunted James. Malfoy went for his wand but James already had his in his hand.
"Expelliarmus" James said, Malfoy's wand shot though the air and landed in James' hand.
"Think you're clever, don't you potter" Malfoy said. James didn't answer.
Carla came up behind James and whispered "give him back his wand, he's not worth it".
James threw Malfoy's wand back, turned round and started walking back towards the Gryffindor common room with Carla.
"If you're so clever, you would realize that Evan's is in much more trouble than even you could realize" Malfoy said. James turned round and started back towards Malfoy, Carla grabbed hold of his arm.
"He's not worth it" she said again and tired to drag him back towards the common room but James ignored her.
"Where is Lily?" James asked but at that moment Professor Mcgonagall came round the corner.
"What is going on here?" She asked.
"Nothing Professor" said Carla and started walking back to the Gryffindor common room hoping that James would follow her and he did.
"Why were you arguing with Malfoy?" Asked Carla as they walked.
"You know what Malfoy's like" James replied.
"Sphinx" James said to the portrait fat lady. Carla and James walked over to where Sirius, Remus and Peter were sat.
"What have you been up to?" Asked Remus.
"He's been arguing with Malfoy" Carla said.
"Only arguing, no fighting?" Asked Sirius.
"No" replied James.
"Only because Mcgonagall turned up" said Carla.
"It's a shame Mcgonagall turned up" muttered Sirius.
"Why?" Asked Carla.
"Well I would have liked to have seen Malfoy beaten up" He replied.
"Sirius, violence doesn't solve anything" Carla said.
"Yes mother" muttered Sirius but Carla heard him and hit over the head.
"Ow, I thought you said that violence doesn't solve anything" said Sirius rubbing his head.
"That doesn't count" Carla replied.
"I'll see you all later" James said and he left the common room.
"What is up with him?" Asked Sirius.
"Don't you know?" Asked Carla.
"No…that…is…why…I…asked" said Sirius speaking very slowly.
"There is no need to talk to me as if I'm thick" Carla said crossly.
"Well you asked a bit of a stupid question" replied Sirius
.
James walked towards the Ravenclaw common room hoping to see his little sister Catherine but it was unlikely that she would be stood outside her common room.
Catherine was 15 and in Ravenclaw so James didn't get to see that much of her, when they did spend time together they always ended up getting on each others nerves.
"James what are you doing here?" Called a voice from behind him.
"Hey Catty!" he said turning round to see his sister.
"So what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Aren't I allowed to come to see my little sis?" he replied.
"Of course you're allowed to come and see me" she muttered hugging her brother.
"Ok so why are really here?" she said letting go of him.
"I wanted to come and see you and I wanted to away from my mates for a bit" he answered as the two of them walked.
"So it has nothing to do with your little fight with Malfoy" she said calmly.
"How did you find out about that?" he asked.
"You can't keep anything quiet for long in Hogwarts, you should already know that" She remarked.
"It wasn't really a fight, more of a disagreement" James muttered.
"Something's up with you" She remarked after a while of silence.
"I'm Fine ok" He said crossly.
"Sorry I asked I'll talk to you when you're in a better mood" She snapped back and walked off. Leaving James on his own.
Lily woke up and realized that she must have been asleep a while, as the sky outside was dark.
She got up and went over to the window, looking up at the sky she saw the first few stars appearing.
"I just want to go back Hogwarts" she muttered.
"I'm sure you do" said a voice from behind her. She turned round quickly.
"Who are you?" She asked knowing who the person was even without an answer.
"You probably already know" He said, Lily just nodded.
"You will be going to a meeting tomorrow morning" he said. Then there was silence.
"Why haven't you killed me?" Lily asked daringly, he laughed a cruel laugh, which made Lily feel cold inside.
"Do you want to be killed?" He asked.
"No" she replied.
"Then why ask" he said and vanished. Leaving Lily with a lot to think about
James was sat on his bed with the curtains drawn round.
The door of the dorm opened and he heard his three friends come in.
"Something's wrong, I just wish he'd tell me" muttered Sirius.
"If anything is really bothering him I'm sure he'll tell us about it" Remus said reasonably.
It was about an hour later when James drew back the curtains around his bed and went to his trunk to get out his invisibility cloak.
He quietly walked out of the dorm and down the stairs to the common room, not sure where he was going to go.
He noticed that someone sat near the fire; the person threw something into the fire and then left the common room.
James went over to where the person had been sat, wondering why they had thrown something into the fire.
A/n I'm going leave you there for now but already working on the next chapter.
