Chapter 5: Breakfast

Lily opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. Then she remembered and grinned. She glanced at the clock and saw it read 6:00 in glowing red numbers. Lily glanced at the other girls who were still sleeping soundly and thought bout waking them up. Then she grinned again and ran to Ruby's bed.

Ruby sat up gasping slightly as Lily bounced on her stomach chanting "Wakey dakey, wakey dakey!" Lily grinned then jumped off her and ran to Sapphire's bed and did the same to her and then to Savannah. The older girls sat up sleepily and glared at the little girl.

"Lily..." Ruby started, yawning.

"It's 6 a.m." Sapphire continued, and she stretched.

"Why'd you wake us up?" Savannah concluded rubbing her eyes.

Lily rolled her eyes and looked at them. "Helllooo today's my recital!"

The older girls looked at each other then flopped back down on their beds with a groan.

Lily glared at them then quickly got dressed and then stormed down the girls staircase and up the boys'. She pushed the 6th year boys' door open and her eyes widened in surprise.

All the boys except for Remus sat on Peter's bed watching Remus dance crazily around the room. James looked at the door when it opened and grinned when he saw Lily.

"Come in and watch the show..." he said with a grin and motioned for her to sit down with them. Lily thought for a moment then shrugged and sat down on the bed.

"Is he ALLWAYS like this?" Lily asked looking at Peter.

"No...never...he must not have been...oh never mind..." Peter said and looked away nervously. They sat back and watched Remus for a while longer and then Savannah pushed the door open and grabbed Lily's arm.

"Sorry guys...I need to kidnap her...she needs to get dressed. See you at breakfast." She said and pulled Lily from the room.

Half an hour later breakfast had started and everyone in the school was there. Dumbledore stood and everyone quieted down the way they always do when he stood to make an announcement.

"Good morning students. Let's hope that today's lessons aren't as disastrous as yesterdays." Dumbledore began with a twinkle in his eye. "I have a very special announcement, today, after dinner. Miss Lily Evans will play Amazing Grace for the school. You do not have to attend if you don't wish too but I'm sure she'd appreciate it if you did." With that he sat down and talk began again.

Ten minutes later a small riot began at the Gryffindor table. It had started by accident, or so we think. Sirius had 'accidentally' thrown some oatmeal at James who, of course retaliated by throwing some eggs back at him. But alas he missed, and hit Remus right in the face. With that a small scale food fight broke out and the older students sat and watched in amazement as the three small boys laughed and threw their food at each other. Lily, who had been sitting next to James, quickly ducked under the table to avoid being hit by any stray food. The boys were so busy with their fight that they didn't see Dumbledore until he cleared his throat and said "Excuse me Gentlemen!" rather loudly from right behind them. The boys froze mid throw and Lily popped up from under the table.

"Excuse me Mister Dumbledore sir, but I wasn't a part of this...food fight" she said disgustedly as she stood up straight with her hands in fists on her hips and puffed out her chest and her head to the side, avoiding the boy's evil looks. And then, all of a sudden...
