kkkkkkkkkkkkkoolll

Thanks for all your reviews! I do need to comment on one of them:

Brie Bree is really my best friend. Lol, in fifth grade my teacher started to spell her name B-r-e-e instead of B-r-e and it kind of stuck. Lol, she was away on vacation when I wrote this and I missed her so much. So, I started to write this fic and made her one of the main characters. Lol, I absolutely love writing her character! Lol, she's in my other fic too and her attitude is completely different towards Sirius. I also like the way you spell ur name too! It's really cool!

Anyway, thanks so much to everyone who read Together Forever and is now reading Lost and Found. When I saw all of your reviews it made me so happy!

Well, I guess I should get this sequel started, eh? Lol.

Btw, some parts of this story has stuff to do with things that happened in the first story. If you haven't read the first story or if you forgot, please leave me a note and I'll be sure to refresh your memory!

Also, if you are a new reader that has not read Together Forever, then I'm pretty sure you will still understand this. I posted this on harrypotter.com and new readers there understand it. If you do want to read Together Forever, just search my screen name: FrEgOrGeLuVeR225

Chapter One: September Surprises

(No POV)

Lily Evans opened her eyes to the delicious smell of steaming coffee. Her eyes darted to her window where a brown barn owl was tapping on the glass.

"Hey you." Lily opened the window and patted the owl that let out a soft hoot. The own dropped the mail in her hand and held out its leg that had a small black pouch tied to it.

"Hold on." She mumbled as she searched through her purse for some coins. Once she found the wizard money she deposited it into the pouch and the owl flew out of the window.

Lily stared at the bird until it could no longer be seen. Her eyes scanned the street below her window and observed the fairly cold weather.

It was a slightly foggy and chilly day in London. The end of September breeze blew through the streets. Lily sighed as she closed her window and walked over to her dresser.

She pulled out some clothes for the day. She was about to close the drawer when something caught her eye.

Her Hogwarts scrapbook and a small shoebox were lying in the bottom of her drawer. She picked up the box and spotted various things and belongings from her years at Hogwarts. Her eyes landed on a velvet box. She battled with herself as to weather or not to open it. She quickly fought the urge and put the box away.

She continued to head towards her bathroom to take a shower and didn't even both to put the scrapbook away.

Once she was fresh and ready for the day ahead of her, she exited her room and entered the kitchen. She glanced around her two-bedroom apartment in search of her friend, roommate, and 'sister', Bree Turner.

Lily immediately went towards the coffee machine and poured herself a cup of steaming hot coffee. Lily sat in silence sipping from her mug and taking small bites from her bagel as she read the wizarding newspaper, The Daily Prophet. She scanned the front page and noticed there was another attack.

Another? That makes three attacks in just one week. The rumored Dark Lord Voldemort was surely more than a rumor with all the attacks happening. He was killing muggles and muggle born left and right. Lily pulled her eyes away from the paper when she heard the front door open.

"Lily!" Bree's cheery voice rang through the apartment.

"I'm in the kitchen." She responded.

"Good morning sleepy-head! I thought you would never get your lazy arse out of bed!" Bree took a cup out of the cupboard and poured herself a glass of water.

"Where were you?"

"Running." Bree responded taking the section of the newspaper that Lily was done with, "I was supposed to go running with Sirius but he slept in, again!"

"Too bad." Lily replied.

"It's okay." She shrugged, "He's not that easy to run with anyway. He'd rather stop at a bench and snog."

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind doing that either." Lily joked. 

"Lily!" she scowled, "Maybe so but it doesn't mean I would do it every time."

"Right…" Lily responded.

"Anything good in that section?" she asked pointing to the paper Lily was holding.

"Three more attacks." Lily sighed.

"It's not good for your heath to be reading this." Bree took the paper out of Lily's hands.

"I'm just worried about my family." She responded.

"I know you are." Bree said looking at the paper, "I hope this will all end soon. But in the mean time we need to make the best of everything. So, do you have to work today?"

"Yeah," Lily said, "But not until ten."

"Do you want to go out to dinner or stay in?" Bree asked eating a cold slice of pizza.

"I don't care." Lily looked up at Bree oddly, "I think you have your meal times mixed up."

Bree shrugged her shoulders and took another bite, "I thought this is what you're supposed to do when you live on your own? My mum would never let me have pizza for breakfast."

"Your nutters." Lily giggled.

"Why, thank you!" Bree smiled widely.

"I need to finish getting ready." Lily folded up the newspaper and handed it to Bree, "What do you plan on doing today?"

"I think I might go to the ministry and get some work done."

"That'll be nice." Lily said as she rinsed out her mug and put it in the dishwasher.

"Yeah I guess." Bree replied.

Lily finished getting ready and headed out the door for work, "Bye Bree! See you later!" she yelled through the apartment. She grabbed her keys and left.

She rode the elevator down to the first floor and walked through the lobby greeting people as they passed by.

She waved to Bill, the elderly man who worked at the front desk, and continued outside towards her parked car.

Lily got into her car and headed down the road towards her work.

When she arrived she went immediately to her desk. Lily worked for a writer and she hoped one day she could publish some of her own stories.

She found a note on her desk from her boss, Christie.

Lil-

Come to my office at noon! I have a big surprise for you!

-Christie

Lily thought for a minute as to what Christie's big surprise could be. When she couldn't think of anything she began her work checking the clock every now and then to see if it was noon.

Noon came very slowly for Lily. But before she knew it, she was standing in front of Christie's office door knocking.

She heard Christie's familiar voice and entered.

"Hey Lily! How are you?" she squealed. There was another lady she didn't recognize, but that was soon to be fixed.

"Good. How are you?" she asked politely.

"Dandy! This is Rachel McClaw, she's an editor!" she replied happily.

Lily shook Rachel's hand and sat down in the seat next to her in front of Christie's desk.

"Your probably wondering what the big surprise is, aren't you, Lil?" Christie asked folding her hands in front of her.

"Yes, I am."

"Well, as you know when I went to New York this past week I went to a meeting with some editors. Rachel came with me and we got talking about new authors. I know you weren't too fond on the fact of me showing anyone your story, but I couldn't help it. You have talent, and we all see it. So I had to show Rachel and she wants to publish your story!"

"Really?" Lily asked surprised, "I didn't think it was that good."

"Are you kidding?" Rachel asked, "It's adorable!"

"Fabulous!" Christie clapped her hands together, "So, what do you think, Lil? Would you like to publish your own book? Just think, you could get your own office. You know get out of here? You could even have your own office here if you want!"

"I'd be honored." Lily smiled happily.

"Great! I'll call you about it." Rachel said, "Now I must go catch my flight. Good day!"

"Good bye!" Lily said shaking her hand again, "See you soon."

After Rachel left Christie gave Lily a big hug, "Congratulations! I told you that story was amazing!"

"Thanks, Christie. But I couldn't have done it with out you." Lily smiled.

"Aw it was nothing." She smiled, "C'mon, I'm going to take you out to lunch. Where ever you want!"

"Thanks but you don't have to."

"No, but I want to!" she replied, "Jeez Lil cant I celebrate with a friend?"

"I guess you can." Lily smiled and grabbed her purse. The two headed out of the office to celebrate the good news.

That's it for now! I'll post as soon as I can! Plz review!
