Days, weeks, and eventually months passed. The former Slytherin reluctantly adjusted to their new lives as Gryffindor. The Gryffindor were hesitant to become friends with them, so they kept to themselves.

"I have to go up and see Professor Dumbledore after dinner." Visco put his hand on his head"Why didn't I remember earlier"

The trio could be found sitting with the ex-Slytherins and a blond-haired first year. Dinner had just been served in the Great Hall. Students all around were filling their plates with assortments of food which gave off a smell that signaled the end of the day.

"Why do you have to see him" Lilly said as she gracefully put a small mound of peas on her plate. Harry turned to Visco, breaking away from the conversation he was having with Ron across from him.

"It's about Halloween, isn't it?" His face turned solemn.

"Owh, Surprises! I'm so excited!" Lilly exclaimed excitedly, her eyes shining and a grin was on the face.

"Lilly if you want a real surprise, will you wait up for me tonight?" She nodded. "Well, I'm off. See you later, Lilly." He chuckled and winked farewell to Lilly Daisy.

The sound of rustling of papers greeted Visco at he entered the headmaster's office. The headmaster himself was seated in a great oak chair at his desk, bent down in concentration. His half-moon glasses were at the tip of his broken-looking nose. The quill in his hand was scratching back and forth on a long piece of parchment.

"Professor, I don't want to bother you, but you asked me to come three days before the attack on Halloween." Visco awkwardly sat down on the side of a chair, waiting for Professor Dumbledore to look up.

"Ah, Mr. Riddle, thank you for coming." He set down his quill and looked over his half-moon glasses at Visco. Professor Dumbledore studied Visco for a moment, and continued. "I hope there are no problems with you being in Gryffindor."

"There are none, Professor." Visco said. He slid to the back of the chair, feeling a bit more comfortable.

"Excellent, now on to a more serious topic. There are a few tasks I would like you to complete on the night of the attack." Dumbledore paused; Visco nodded for him to continue.

"First, I need you to ask Mr. Potter to assemble the DA and anyone else who wants to fight, and tell him to be prepared to fight. Next, during the attack I need you to get Mr. Malfoy out of the castle." Visco opened his mouth to talk, but quickly closed it when Dumbledore put his hand up to silence him. "The safest place would be the Whomping Willow. The only way to enter the Whomping Willow is to press the knot on the trunk. That's all."

"Thank you, Professor," Visco said gratefully.

"Have a good night, Mr. Riddle." Dumbledore said picking up the quill and returned to the parchment. Visco stayed where he was.

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore. Sir, if there is going to be an attack on the school, is the dance still going to happen?" He hoped silently that his plans would not have to be changed.

Dumbledore looked up and put down the quill. He smiled faintly at Visco. "Yes, I believe that a celebration will do this school some good. It will surely bring the spirit back into her corridors for a night. The doors of the Great Hall will be closed immediately once the attack has started. You must get yourself out in time."

"Thank you again, Professor. Have a good night." Visco silently got up and walked down the staircase, leaving Professor Dumbledore's office.

Later that night, after Visco talked to Harry, he could be found sitting in the corner. His back was resting against the cool stone wall that lined the common room. He was talking with Lilly. She also was sitting up against the stone wall. Her hands were in her lap.

"Lilly…" A thoughtful look was on Visco's face. He stared at the wall, becoming oblivious to his surroundings.

"Yes?" Lilly answered softly. Her blue eyes rest on him.

"What? Oh…" He regained his concentration. Visco turned to look at Lilly, meeting her eyes. "Are you really only turning twelve tomorrow? I know that's not true. How old are you really?"

Lilly let out a chuckle, "I guess you found out my secret." In the dim, fire lit room, a sly smile could be found on her face.

"I guess I did," Visco said moving a little closer to her. "Why are you only a first year then? Surely Professor Dumbledore knew."

"Of course he knew. You see, I went to a different school before I came here. Dumbledore told me that I had to go down to the first year here because we learned a different kind of magic at my old school."

"That makes sense now." Visco turned his head towards the stone wall again. Lilly gently brought her hand to Visco cheek, and turned his head so that he was now facing her sapphire eyes once more.

"Visco, is that all, or is there something you are hiding? You know you can tell me anything." Her hand hovered for a few seconds on his cheek, than it dropped back on her lap.

"Yes." His voice shook.

"Yes, that's all, or yes you have something to tell me?" Lilly said, finding the situation exceptionally funny.

"Yes… I… Ball… Dance… Me." Visco shook his head trying to clear his mind. The words he wanted to say sounded awkward to him. He tried again.

"Lilly, will you going the dance with me?" Visco smiled at himself. Now that wasn't hard, was it?

"Yes, of course." A smile played on her lips as the visible tension around him ceased to exist. Visco let out a sigh.

"I think I'm going to go to bed. I don't know about you, but I have had a hard day." Lilly said standing up letting out a yawn.

"Wait", Visco also stood up. He gently turned Lilly around to face him and wrapped his arms around her.

"Yes?" Lilly's said her eyes holding the light from the fire within them. Visco looked down at his watch. It read 11:59, there were three seconds until midnight. 3… 2… 1.

Visco slowly leaned towards Lilly. He gently placed a kiss on her lips. He quickly pulled away. A tint of red was on his cheeks. Lilly's eyes seemed to be smiling. They were staring into Visco's hazel ones. At that moment everything seemed so peaceful. The attack was momentarily wiped from Visco's mind.

"Happy Bithday, Lilly."
