Lily wasn't so sure where she was going, she just wanted to go as far as she could away from them. She trusted her feet and pleaded to herself they would lead her to her common room. No one was about as they were all eating, but she did hear footsteps. Footsteps following her. Lily broke out into a run and her own footsteps echoed through the halls. As her pace quickened, those following did to. She guessed - by the noise they were making - all six had decided to follow her. Raven, being the most athletic of the group started to catch up with Lily, who used to be...not very good at anything sporty. Raven didn't expect Lily to have changed that much.

Unknown to them, she had. Lily had become even more athletic than Raven. To show this she put on an extra burst of speed.

'What the...' She heard the others mutter.

'Lils wait, please! Just explain what you mean,' she heard Raven call. But her voice was further away. Good. Lily rounded a corner and heard the footsteps die away. However, the others had a secret of their own, and she soon found herself running into their path as they emerged from a large tapestry. Quickly, she turned the other way and ran the opposite way to the way she had been heading.

'Lils!' They were closer now, and Lily was going to get tired soon. Only problem was, they knew it. They gave chase until Lily began to slow. She made a last attempt at an escape; straight out of a window. Of course, they didn't follow. And lucky for her again; she knew how to soften her landing. She charmed the grass so it was bouncy, and ended up landing on a bouncy castle of grass. She waved up at the shocked face staring out the window.

'Bye!' She called. The six above had one last shock, which made Amber faint.

Lily was slowly melting. Dripping as though wax. Then her face started forming, and her arms shrunk, then grew black feathers. Her body neared the ground as her legs shortened, and in their place grew two webbed birds feet. After a moment, there was no more Lily. Instead there was a black Raven.

The raven took off, ignoring the shouts of

'Lily!' and 'Izzy!'

The six went straight to Dumbledore, who told them there was nothing they could do. He sent word to the ministry, and everyone was on the look out for a raven. For four days Lily had once again run away. Until, at last, a raven was sighted. It was seen amongst the owls at breakfast when they delivered the post. However, it soon disappeared. That day the 7th year Gryffindor's found they were taking classes with a brown haired girl who had dark blue eyes. They had no idea whom she was, and at break and lunch she wasn't seen. However, the six found themselves at the kitchen, eating happily. The portrait swung open and the girl walked in. However, before she noticed them she was surrounded by elves. When she finally emerged, the charms had worn off.

'Please, I need to redo my charms,' Lily said, pushing the elves away gently.

'Lils?'

Lily froze and straightened up to look at them. She clutched her wand tightly which she had hidden up her sleeve to keep it from sight.

'What do you want? Want to ruin my life again?'

'Lily, please, we don't know what you mean by ruin your life...' Sirius started.

'Perhaps Raven doesn't, or perhaps Amber doesn't, but you do. Amber and Rave (Ravens nickname) never used to ruin my life totally, but then again they never told you to stop either. But you-...you know perfectly well what I mean. Or is your memory that bad?'

Flashback

'Hey give me that back!' A small thirteen year old cried, reaching up for her book which a boy of the same age had taken.

'Come on Lilers! You can get it!'

'Sirius! Don't call me Lilers! Now drop the book!'

'Okay,' Sirius dropped the book on the floor open and walked away, purposely treading on it instead of stepping over it.

Amber and Raven laughed.

'Come on Lils can't you take a joke?' Amber asked.

'A joke? Look at this!'

Lily held up the remains of her book. The pages that had been facing the floor were torn and the cover had a big, muddy shoe print on it.

'Sorry Lilers,' Sirius said from a chair where he was sitting with a girl on his lap. Lily saw right through it; he hadn't meant it at all. She watched in disgust as the two started kissing. Lily was sure Sirius didn't even know the girls name.

Flashback end

'That was joke! Besides, it was only a book!' Sirius cried.

'Only a book? That book was hand written by my grandfather and his wife! He passed it down to me ten minutes before he died as I was sitting by his bed! That was a joke? Only a book? Great way to ruin something that was only a book!'

'Err-oops?'

'Oops? That doesn't cover it! That's why I liked Dennis; he didn't say oops when he broke the necklace my gran gave me! No, he went out and got one made; an identical replica! He didn't say oops. And Sharon! When she borrowed my best top and got it stained, she didn't say oops. She kept saying sorry, and when I told her it was okay she went out and got me another one; a better one! But do any of you do stuff like that? No. Amber borrows the only dress I have a managed to rip it. All she said was sorry. As if sorry covers your mothers wedding dress!' Lily almost screamed. The elves rushed forward with a glass of water to calm her down.

'Thanks,' Lily muttered, drinking it in one go.

'I'm leaving, I can't stand you any more,'

What do you think??
