A/NHey guys, thnx 4 the reviews, here's the next chapter, hope u enjoy

Lily read and re-read the note that had been waiting for her on the bottom of her bed when she woke up. This was it, this was what she had been waiting for.

There were a million thoughts running through her head.

I have to know who he is. I have to find out why I feel so connected to him.

She sat there on her bed unmoving for about ten minutes after she had read the note, suddenly wide awake. She glanced over to the clock that was on her bedside table and it read 3:57. There was no way she was going to go back to sleep now so she decided to just get up. She moved downstairs in complete silence with her long, white nightgown flowing, gracefully behind her. Her feet making a slight sound on the cold, stone slabs of the floor.

Once in the kitchen she fixed herself some hot tea automatically, not thinking for a second what she was doing, it was only as she sat down at the kitchen table did she think of something.... How did he get the note in her house? Ordinarily it would be delivered by an owl but her window was shut and locked, as always on a night, as the front and back doors would also be. Lily thought about this for a long time, considering all of the possibilities but dismissing them all almost as soon as she thought of them. They were all just so illogical. Of course the idea of Allohamora crossed her mind but there was just something about this boy that radiated youth and even though she had never seen his face she just knew that he wasn't a fully grown wizard and so he wouldn't be allowed to do magic out of school.

Finally about two hours after discovering the letter Lily shook herself. All of this constant worrying and thinking was going to drive her mad, so she went to fetch the book she was reading from her room and returned to the kitchen. It was only after reading three chapters did she realise that she hadn't taken in a word of it.

The rest of the day passed in a daze. She had a constant rumble in her stomach and she was counting down the hours to midnight in her head.

She had it planned exactly. In the note it said that she would know where they would be to meet and of course she did. There was only one place it could possibly be. The place where he saved her. It also said that he needed to see her and it was this part of the message that intrigued her the most. Was it possible that he had her on his mind as much as she had him on hers?

By 9 o clock Lily was sat on her bed in her black cloak ready to go, even though it would only take her ten minutes to walk to the meeting place. She had chosen that particular cloak because it was the only one she owned to have a fairly harge hood which would completely cover her distinctive hair. She had the note in the hands and she was reading it over and over. She didn't know why but she felt with it in her hands, that letter was a part of him and she desperately wanted to be near him.

She waited until the her clock read 11:30 and she then lightly ran downstairs so to not wake her parents and slipped the key into the lock in the front door. Turning it slowing until it clicked, she then stepped outside, feeling the cold wind on her face. She turned momentarily to relock the door before pulling up her hood, taking a deep breath and stepping into the darkness.

The wind was fairly strong that night and it stung Lily's face. She pulled her hood farther up to try and cover her face more but at the same time she was having to hold it up anyway to stop it blowing down.

She walked for about twenty minutes before she reached her destination, though usually it should have only taken her ten. Tonight, however, she felt as though she were in some sort of daze and couldn't seem to make her feet move any faster. The feeling in her stomach was growing as she walked, she was so nervous but she didn't really know why. She was running through a hundred different senarios in her head of what could possibily happen but for some reason they all seemed to end in the same passionate, intimate way.

Why do I feel like this? Lily thought, she had only met him once and even then it was just for a few minutes, she had spoken only a few words to him and yet, already she was infatuated with him. He plagued all of her thoughts and filled her head constantly and whenever she thought of him her stomach always seemed to do a flip. There was something about this boy that drew her to him, she felt connected to him somehow and yet she had never even seen his face.

Lily stopped walking and looked around. She was there, this was where they were supposed to meet. It was so dark that she couldn't really see anything apart from those areas that were lit by the light from the single street light that was working and most of the area around her was in shadow. She didn't think he was there though. She couldn't feel him near her.

She walked forward and stepped into the light emitted from the street lamp so that she could see her watch. 11:56. He should be here soon, four minutes that was all.

Suddenly she felt a pang of panic and her eyes widened. Why was she here? Was she crazy? She was stood in the middle of a dark, empty alley in the middle of the night waiting for a complete stranger. This was so dangerous.

'What am I doing?' she muttered, 'I have to get out of here.' She glanced down at her watch again. 11:57. Oh God, three minutes and he would be here, she had to get out before he arrived, she couldn't let him see her. She pulled up her hood which had blown down and stepped out of the light and into the shadows in an effort to conceal herself. 11:58.

Oh God I can't make my legs move! Her hands were shaking visibly but Lily didn't notice, she shook herself in an attempt to snap herself out of the daze she had sunk into. 11:59. One minute. Just then she regained her senses and turned to run, drawing her cloak tight around her to try and battle against the cold. Then she jumped at the sound of the church clock chiming.

Midnight!

She ran forward, not really paying any attention to where she was going, hoping that at least she was running in the right direction to her house but she ran straight into something. No. Not something. Someone.

She screamed and tried to pull herself away from her figure who currently had hold of both her wrists.

'No, it's ok, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you.'

At the sound of his voice she relaxed and stopped fighting him. All of a sudden all of her fears had vanished. She felt....safe, secure. She stood facing him, noticing momentarily that she still couldn't see his face. As with the night before he was wearing a dark cloak with the hood pulled up, casting his face into shadow. He released her wrists and her hands dropped to her sides.

'Are you all right?' his voice was deep and calming. She tried to speak but no words came out so she settled for a nod. 'Thank you for coming to meet me, I really needed to see you.'

Lily's brain couldn't think of a reply to this and she vaguely noticed that he'd used that word agen, 'needed'. But all she could manage to blurt out was, 'Who are you?'

The man in front of her stepped backwards, away from her, pulling his hood further over his face.

'I can't tell you.'

'W....w....what? Why?' Lily stuttered. Her heart had dropped, she needed to know so badly who this man was, that was the main reason why she came and now he wouldn't tell her.

'Lily, I just can't, you may know in time but for now you just have to trust me.'

Trust him? Could she do that? Live with the agony of not knowning?

'Well,' she started, 'I suppose I could trus...wait! How did you know my name?'

The man looked uncomfortable, he had obviously made a mistake. Then he shrugged as if giving up on trying to think of a believable lie. 'I go to Hogwarts.'

Lily nodded, she had suspected this when she had been trying to find out how he had got the note into her house. Then thinking about that she ventured another question, 'How did you get that message into my bedroom?'

She could sense the grin that appeared on his face even though she couldn't see it.

He started to walk around her, moving so that he was behind her now. He placed his hands on her shoulders, making her shudder, in a fairly pleasant way. He leaned down to that his lips were by her right ear. 'I have my ways,' he whispered so quietly that there could have been a hundred people stood around them and only she would have heard.

Lily stood stock still, frozen to the spot. Her hood had fallen down again so her hair was falling loose but she barely noticed. He still had his hands on her but now they were moving slowly down her arms, towards the tips of her fingers. He moved them to her waist and around, pulling her towards him slightly. She didn't resist. He was now pressed against her back and he bent down so that he could kiss her neck lightly. He felt her body shudder against his and smiled into her neck. He moved his kisses around to the other side of her neck kissing along her shoulder, softly. She tilted her head to her side, allowing him more room to roam.

Lily felt as though she was in a daze, helpless to resist his advances but she was also fairly certain that she wouldn't even if she could. She closed her eyes as she felt him pulled her cloak off her shoulder and let it drop to the ground, she cold hit her body but she didn't notice, she was feeling extremely hot at that moment in time.

The stranger traced an invisible line down her arm until he reached her hand and he then laced his fingers in hers.

Just then Lily was snapped out of her trance by the church bell chiming again, this time with a single chime.

'One o clock,' she whispered softly but he had stopped kissing her and had stepped back. She spun around to face him.

'I have to go,' he said sounding slightly breathless.

'What?'

'I have to leave,' he repeated but he knew that Lily's 'what' had not signified that she hadn't heard him. With that last word he turn around and ran, disappearing into the shadows, leaving Lily standing alone once again, staring had the spot he had just been.
