They got their test results the next day. Lily got the highest scores of the entire first year. Everyone else in Gryffindor did average or above average. To Lily and Rini's disgust, and to James, Sirius, and Remus's delight, even Severus Snape had managed to pass.
"Really," Lily said when she saw their happy faces, "why is it so much for to pull pranks on Severus and get him in trouble?"
Sirius sighed. "Ah, Lily, Lily, Lily."
"What, Sirius, Sirius, Sirius?"
Sirius chuckled. "It's so much fun because we don't like him. Just like it's fun to pull pranks on each other because we are friends."
"Sirius, you are demented!"
James jumped in. "No, it's true! If we weren't friends, doing this," James quickly put a tickling charm on Lily who burst out laughing, "just wouldn't be fun," he finished.
"Take it off! Take the charm off me, James!" Lily said between laughs. James shook his head. "Remus, help, please! Take the charm off me!" Remus also shook his head. "Take the charm off or I'll tell!" Remus immediately took the charm off. Lily calmed down and said, "Thank you."
James, Sirius, and Rini looked at each other. "Uh," Rini said, "What was that about?"
Lily shook her head. "Nothing."
Remus also shook his head. "No, nothing at all."
The three looked at each other again when Remus gave Lily a weird look.
It was time for breakfast so the five plus Damien set off for the Great Hall. They formed a little triangle: Lily in front, followed by Rini and Damien, who were followed by James, Remus, and Sirius. They reached the hall and took their seats. It was a day of no classes so they went down to the lake as usual. Today, Lily stayed awake talking to the guys.
Suddenly Remus asked, "Lily, what where you dreaming about?"
Lily was startled by the question. "Wha—what do you mean?"
"Before you woke up and fainted. What were you dreaming about?"
Lily glanced at James quickly, not knowing whether to tell them yet. She sat up and looked at her hands in her lap. "I was dreaming—No!" Lily stood up. Her voice shaking, she said, "No. I can't tell."
Sirius said, "But Lily, we just want to know. We're worried—"
"No! I can't tell you! I won't!" and she ran, not caring about the tears streaming from her eyes. Lily didn't know where she was headed. When she looked up, she saw she was at Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Lily walked up the steps and knocked on the door. "Ha-Hagrid?" she called through gasps. "Hagrid are you there?"
The door opened. Hagrid saw Lily and said, "Lily? "S'at yeh?"
"Yes, Hagrid. It's me. May I come inside?"
"O' course! Would yeh like some tea?" Lily nodded as she went inside. Hagrid poured two cups of tea and handed one to Lily. "Now, tell me what happened."
Lily started by telling Hagrid how after the finals, she had begun falling asleep more often than she should. She told him about the dreams. She told him how she saw James dying and then waking up and seeing him alive. How she had fainted and been taken to the infirmary. She finished her story saying, "And then just a few minutes ago, Remus asked what I was dreaming about and I couldn't tell them. Then Sirius said that I should tell because they were worried and I said I wouldn't tell and ran. I wound up here."
"Ah, Lily. Yeh gonna have to tell 'em."
"I know, Hagrid! But I'm scared. What if-," Lily paused. "What if the dream comes true?"
"What if it does? Yeh said yerself that he was older. Means it won' happen fer a while."
"I know. I'm just not ready to tell them, especially James."
Hagrid nodded. "I know, Lily. I know."
