Fate

Chapter 3

Lily woke up really early the next morning, and then remembering where she was, jumped up in excitement and quickly got dressed.

After she got dressed she looked at her watch to see what time it was.

6:45am

Lily groaned, this was going to be a long morning.

Lily decided since it was going to be a while before Jake and Remus woke up, that she could begin reading her text books.

She started with The Standard Book of Spell Grade 6 and worked her way through all of them except her Potions Book and The Monster Book of Monsters 2.

Jake came into her room at around 9:30 to tell her that they were leaving in a few minutes and that they would be having breakfast on the train.

Liy packed up her books and gathered up her things and met Remus and Jake downstairs.

The took a taxi to Kings Cross because it was way easier than the Knight Bus.

When they arrived at the train station Lily went and got the trollies as Remus and Jake unpacked their luggage.

By the time that they had got all their things loaded onto the train, it was almost time to leave.

They sat back and got ready because now they were onto the place they had always dreamed of going to.

It was beginning to get dark when they reached Hogsmead Station, Lily was wired and anxious to get to their new home for the next ten months.

Jake was calm and collect, but you couldn't miss the sparkle of excitement in his eyes as they got into the horseless carriage that was waiting to take them to the castle.

Remus just smiled at the two sixteen year olds, as he remembered when he had first came to Hogwarts.

He had been afraid that he wouldn't be excepted because of his condition but Dumbledore looked through that and saw him as a normal eleven year old boy that he was, and Remus had been very gratefull to Dumbledore for that.

They soon reached the castle and were greeted by the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore and the Deputy Headmistress, Proffessor Menerva Mcgonagal. (A.N—I don't think I spelled that right, someone tell me if I'm wrong!)

They smiled down at the two now nervous, but anxious teenagers.

"Welcome to Hogwarts Miss Taylor and Mr. Anderson." (A.N—hee hee sounds like The Matrix "Mr. Anderson" anyways back to the story!!)

"Thank You, Proffessor, it's an honor to be here." Lily said smiling at the Headmaster, who returned the smiled.

"You may be wondering why you are here so early, and why now and not at the proper age of eleven." He said with a twinkle of amusement from his eyes.

Lily and Jake nodded.

"Well, I see a special gift in both of you that I have never seen before. You already know everything there is to know about everything from the years 1 to 7 in the magical schooling. And I was hoping that you could help around the school with different things but also take classes with your normal age group to help the Proffessors with different things like demenstrations and things like that. Would you like to do this?"

Lily and Jake nodded with excited smiles on their faces.

They would have never imagined something like this ever happenning to them of all people.

"Oh and before I forget," said Dumbledor interupting their thoughts. "There are going to be a few students here next week to show you around and help you get used to your surroundings. Now that that is all sorted out, would you like to join me and the other Proffessors in the Great Hall for Dinner?"

Lily and James nodded and followed Dumbledor, Mcgonagal and Remus into the school for dinner.

After Dinner they were lead to the Headmasters office so they could be sorted into their house.

(A.N:OK I don't feel like doing a song or them being sorted so bear with me!!)

Lily and Jake were both sorted into Griffindor and were led by Proffessor Mcgonagal to their common room.

Lily almost burst out laughing when they saw the portrait of the Fat Lady, in her pink dress.

"Password?" she said with boredom.

"Jelly Bellies" said Mcgonagal, and went into the common room with Jake and Lily following.

Lily and Jake gasped when they saw the common room.

It was almost breathtaking.

With it's plush red carpets with gold trimming, very inviting couches and chairs and a very lovely fireplace.

"The boys dormitory is up the stairs to your left and the girls the same on the right, breakfast will be served at nine o'clock." Said the proffessor.

She bid them Goodnight and then left them to explore the common room and dormitories.

Lily and Jake dicided to unpack first and then would meet up in the common room afterwards.

Lily went upstairs to the top of the tour where she found the door marked Sixth Years and saw her suitcases by the bed near the window.

Lily had always wanted a four poster bed with curtains, and now she did.

She unpacked her Stereo first and recited the spell you make it work without electricity and put in her Gretchen Wilson, Zoe Girl and Brooks & Dunn CD's. (it was a 3 disc changer)

Then began to unpack the rest of her stuff.

She put her clothes into her wardrobe and then put her suitcase under the bed.

Then she began to unpack the other suitcase.

She took out her laptop, her books (which she put on a bookshelf she had conjured) and then her CD's with the refoldable rack she had brought.

She decided to write a letter to her parents and send it by owl. She wish she could be there when they saw Hermy.

Her smile slightly faded at the thought of her family.

She missed talking with her mom, hanging out with her dad and she even missed the twins.

Her eyes began to sting.

No. She would not cry, she would be strong. She knew her parents wouldn't want her to be sad especially not her Papa.

She smiled at the thought of her Papa. He was so overprotective but she still loved him very much.

She was just finishing her letter when there was knock on the door; she looked up.

"Come in." she said

Jake's head popped around the door.

"Hey Lily-Pad, you done yet?"

Lily nodded.

"Yep just finishing my letter to home."

She folded her letter and stood up.

"Want to try and find the owlery, I have to find Hermy."

Jake smiled, he loved adventures.

"Sure! Lets go!"

Lily smiled and followed James out of the door and down the stairs.

Lily decided the best thing to do was to ask a picture so they wouldn't get lost.

She walked up to a picture of a mother cuddling her sleeping baby.

"Umm, excuse me miss, could you tell me how to get to the Owlery?"

Lily asked quietly as not to wake up the baby.

The lady smiled and nodded.

"Of course dear, just keep going straight and up three floor, then take a right and about ten feet infront of you, you'll see stairs that lead up to the tour that leads to the owlery." (A.N—ok I don't really know how to get to the Owlery but again bear with me!)

Lily thanked the woman and beckoned Jake to follow her.

Fourtunately they didn't get lost and made it to the owlery in no time.

They opened the door at the very top of the tour and began looking for Hermy,which didn't take long.

Lily held out her arm and then whistled, and a few moments later Hermy had landed on Lily's arm and Lily was tying her letter to Hermy's leg.

"Now take this to moma and papa and please, don't try to frighten them too much."

Lily then walked over to the window and watched as Hermy flew off.

As soon as Hermy was out of site Lily and Jake headed back to the common room.

By the time Lily and Jake had reached the common room it was already nine thirty and by now both Lily and Jake were both exhausted and decided to call it a day and would do some more exploring the next day.

The next week went by very fast for Lily and Jake and they had almost toured around the whole castle, but still got lost every so often.

On the day before the students were to arrive Lily and Jake had made it to the Great Hall without getting lost or asking for directions that morning and they were very proud of themselves as they sat down for breakfast.

Since there was only Lily, Jake and the Professors, they all sat at one table.

As Lily sat down and began to pour her self some cereal and milk, she made small talk with Mme Pince, the Librarian, who she had become good friends with.

Jake on the other hand was talking with Remus, who was to be the new DADA teacher because Dumbledor couldn't find anyone else and frankly, Remus was better than any of the other teachers they had had before, began talking about Quidditch and out of the four houses, who would win the Quidditch Cup.

After breakfast, Jake and Lily decided to try out their new brooms which they had bought at Diagon Alley.

They basically knew what they had to do so they decided to do it without the help of Mme Hooch, who had offered to give them a short lesson.

But they found out that flying was accually quite easy, once you got the hang of it, and both of them loved it.

They raced around the field for a bit and tried out each of the different types of balls.

They began with the Quaffle, which wasn't that hard but both had troubles with balancing on the broom and throwing the ball at the same time, then they tried out the snitch but couldn't do that too well either. Then finally, they tested their skills with the bludgers and found that they were quite good and continued practicing with that.

By Lunch they had decided to try out for the Griffindor Quidditch team that year because Fred and George Weasley had graduated last year.

They went to the common room and freashened up and went down for lunch.

"So who do you think the students are going to be that are coming tomorrow?"

Asked Lily as they ate their lunch.

Jake shrugged, "I'm not too sure, it will most likely be someone from Griffindor but then again who knows."

Then for the rest of the afternoon and evening they spent their time trying to guess who would be coming tomorrow and playing some games.

It was soon time for bed and as they went to sleep they wondered what the next day would be like.

They next morning Lily and Jake woke up a little earlier than usual, and were the first ones at breakfast that morning.

Half an hour later, the other proffessors soon joined them.

After breakfast Dumbledore asked them to meet them at his office to meet the students that would be showing them around the school and grounds, though they knew some of it already.

Lily and Jake finished their break fast quickly and headed to the Headmaster's office.

They said the password (gobstoppers) and then knocked on Dumbledore's door.

"Come in."

Lily and Jake entered Dumbledore's Office and looked over to Dumbledore's desk and gasped.

TBS!!!!!

(A.N—DUN DUN DUN!!! Ahh!!! Cliffhanger! I know I know PLEASE don't hurt me!!! Hee hee okay chapter 4 coming soon!!)
