Rating: PG
Thanks to my reviewers: raelyn, Jennifer, and Jackie (thanks for the info maybe I will but this chapter is all Lily.)
A/N: It has been five months since I have written anything for this story. I am so sorry but I have major writer's block, don't you just hate when that happens. So don't expect this chapter to be that good. Oh and I not considering writing a prequel to this anymore because I have written a story built on the same ideas, Red Angel, yes and I know that was shameless self promotion.
Chapter Seven: Learning
I was not of age, or at least every one except Hagrid thought I was. Because of that I was not allowed to come to the order's meetings. So I along with the rest of the kids had to wait and hope that someone would tell us what was going on. It was still shocking to see MY little boy almost a grown man. To get to know each other I suggested that we should play truth or dare.
Hermione and Ginny were happy to join me, but Ron, James, and Sirius were a little harder to convince just let me say blackmail comes in handy. Harry and Mark just walked over and plotted themselves next to us. I decided to start the game.
"Truth or dare, Hermione,"
"Truth," she replied. Now what could be a good truth for her? I've got it!
"Do you like anyone?" I said and I am sure there was some mischievous in my voice but hey I lived with the Marauders for ten years.
"Yes," she mumbled. Hmm... now I will just have to find out whom.
"Who?" I asked.
"You're only allowed to ask one question!" She said almost screeching. Nope she wasn't the littlest bit touchy about it.
"My turn, truth or dare Ron?" Why does James have to be nice? I'm sure with another minute I could make her crack.
"Dare," Ron said in a challenging tone. Oh dear what could James come up with now?
"I dare you to tell Snape that you want to marry him!" Yep there is my James anything that involved torturing Snape had to be fun.
Ron's face was then reddest I have ever seen anyone's go.
"I'll do it as soon as the meeting lets out," Ron mumbled. I feel bad for the poor kid but when you took a dare you have to be expecting the worse.
It went on and on. Some of the questions were down right stupid such as "What is your favorite qudditch team?" I did learn though that Ron's favorite class is Defense against the Dark Arts and that Ginny used to have a crush on Harry.
Harry never got into our long discussion and I noticed he never answered truth. He did seem to be warming up a bit to us, and Mark too. I feel bad for Mark he has no one his age here. Speaking of age, the ones my age managed to let loose some facts while just toeing the line of blowing this whole thing for us.
Here is the question that I got on the edge of my seat for two reasons. It was "who was your first crush, Jacob?" Mark had asked the question. I didn't even know the answer to that. What if it wasn't me and what if it was someone from the past that the kids knew? (When I say kids I mean the trio, Mark and Ginny)
"It was Lil...Linda of course," I breathed a sigh of relief. It was me! Sure he had slipped up and almost spilled my real name but still it was sweet. I wish I could tell the kids who I am, especially Harry. But hey at least we were learning about them.
End note: I hate writer's block. Oh and it will be a year tomorrow since I started this story! Happy birthday Heirs of the Past!
