The month of September was coming to an end. Leaves all around the school had begun to change from their brilliant green to the autumn shades of red, orange, yellow and brown. Class was over for the weekend and Lily and Paige made their way to the Prefect Meeting Room. Like before they were the first in the cozy orange room but soon it was filled with many perfects and the meeting began. "Alright, I think there's only two things we need to go over," Leah, the Head Girl, spoke, "The first Hogsmead trip, we need people to do rounds."

She held a paper in her hand. "Anyone care to sign up?"

She looked around. There where only a few hands, "Well that'll do," she said, "Why don't you guys sign up then?"

She handed the paper to one of the volunteers. "Ok, that'll be the second Saturday in October. And Leah also thought it would be fun to have a Halloween dance," said the Head Boy, Bruce, "If you want to do that raise your hand."

Everyone raised their hands. Lily smiled. "Ok well I think it should be 5th year and up," Leah said to Bruce.

He nodded in agreement, "And then you should all sign up for your rounds for this month. If you have your have any plans on the days that are left," Bruce announced to the group, "Come and see us and we'll straighten it out."

The paper made its way around the group. "No one will need to do rounds at the dance, but we will need people to help with decorations and stuff," Leah said, "See us after if your interested."

Quite a few people seemed interested but not Lily. She waited for the paper to come to her. Finally the paper reached her and she signed up. The 21st was opened; she scribbled her name beside the date, and passed it on.

"Meetings over," Bruce called, "You can go when you've signed up." Lily stood up along with Paige and they began to look for their friends. "The dance sounds fun." Paige said.

"Yeah, it does," Lily responded. They found their way out side where their friends told them they'd be. They sat under a tall slender tree by the lake with the others. The hot sun shined down upon them and they all wonder when it would finally rain.

The group was fairly silent; they began to ask Lily and Paige if anything interesting had happened at the meeting. Paige told them about the dance and when the first Hogsmead trip would be. Lily sat listening to the words Paige was saying. She felt like something was missing, she looked around and realized that Kaitlin wasn't there and neither was Riley. "You guys, where's Kaitlin and Riley?" She asked them, they all shrugged in response.

"We'll I'm going to go find them," Lily said.

"I'll come too," Morgan announced.

She and Morgan walked together back to the castle. They reached the entrance and they saw Riley. " Hey you guys where's everyone else?" she asked.

Lily couldn't believe how short Riley's shirt had been. Brooke was right. "They're outside," Morgan told her, "Have you seen Kaitlin?"

"Yeah, she was going to the common room Sirius." Riley told them.

Riley walked through the great doors, letting the light of the sun spill through. Morgan and Lily continued to walk. "I hope I have a date to the dance." Lily said.

"Why?" Morgan questioned.

Lily couldn't believe she had even asked. " It would just be a nice change that's all."

"Well, go with one of our guy friends." Morgan suggested.

"Maybe," Lily said.

"Well, I'm gonna go back to my common room, might as well get some homework done before Quidditch practice." She said.

"Alright, see you later."

She made her way to the common room by herself and she found Kaitlin hanging out with Sirius. "Hey, there you are," Lily said.

"Hi," Kaitlin smiled.

"Hey," Sirius said.

"So are you not hanging out with us anymore or what?" Lily asked Kaitlin.

"I gave up," she explained, "I don't want anyone else to get mad at me."

"Alexie still mad at you?" Lily quizzed.

"I can't tell anymore, but Riley thought the same thing, different guy."

"You can't be serious," Lily exclaimed.

Kaitlin just nodded her head. The room was silent for a moment, "Hey!" Kaitlin excited voice filled the room, "You want to go to the dance with me?"

Lily laughed, "Sure, unless we get really dates, but how did you already know about it?"

"Remus told us." Sirius explained, "Well, I'm gonna go find James, Peter and Remus now."

"Ok." Kaitlin said, "See ya."

He left Lily and Kaitlin alone. "Quidditch tryouts today?" Lily asked.

"Yeah."

"Ok, well you probably have something to do before you go," Lily said, "I need to go find Melinda before she goes too."

"Ok, hun," Kaitlin said.

Lily headed up the stairs to Melinda's dormitory. She knocked on the door and slowly opened it to see that her lying on her bed reading something. "Hey," Lily said.

The dormitory was a warm red color that matched the blankets that covered each of the five beds. The curtains where slightly opened, making the room much darker than it normally would have been. The entire room was altogether neat and cozy with the exception of Melinda's area second from the window, her clothes and books and homework were scattered every. Melinda put down her book and smiled at Lily. She sat up and moved her short hair out of her eyes. "Hi," Alice said, "How are you?"

"I'm OK," Lily responded, "What have you been up to?"

"Not a lot, I have Quidditch practice soon," she answered, "Really soon. Oh well."

Lily smiled. She sat among the mess around her bed and began to randomly pick things up to look at them. "Oh, sorry about the mess," Melinda sighed.

Lily picked up a little booklet; she flipped through the tiny pages. Each page had a different symbol and it's meaning from dreams. Lily laughed. "I had a really weird dream a few weeks ago," She explained to Melinda.

She looked for waterfalls in the tiny book and giggled once again. "Waterfalls are suppose to be hope, I guess that fits," She thought of the waterfall she, James and Kaitlin sat beside in her dream.

"I just had a dream with roses in it," Melinda said, "I wonder what that means."

"Hold on," Lily turned the page, "I need to know what shoes mean."

"I don't think there's shoes in that book, but what about roses?"

"Well, slippers are in here," She read it aloud, "If your slippers are much admire that shows."

"Yours weren't admired, and they weren't 'slippers'," Melinda interrupted, "What about roses?"

"Hold on," Lily smiled and continued reading, ".If you lose your slippers that symbolizes change."

"That's interesting," Melinda said, "Can I see it now?"

"Well, sense it is your book," Lily responded, "No."

She handed the book to Melinda smiling. They continued to look up things in this little book from their dreams and tried to interpret them, although they both felt that it wasn't true or really, just fun. Eventually Melinda had to go for Quidditch practice. "Do you want to come and watch?" Melinda had asked her.

Lily smiled, Melinda was a very good keeper, her friends would be trying out, and James would be there. "Alright," Lily decided, "But only for a little while."

Melinda got her things and they both walked down to the Quidditch pitch together. Lily wished her and Kaitlin good luck and would have found her way into a seat but decided to go when others told her she should tryout and that she was going to miss out.

After Quidditch and dinner were over she spent the rest of that Friday playing speed with Brooke, who one twice in a row and then pointed out, "You can't win 2 outta 3 now, so what is the point of playing again?"

The weekend went by faster than anyone would have liked but at least to Lily, so did the classes on Monday. She soon found herself going to Creative Writing Club after dinner. She and Kaitlin joined thinking it was perfect for them, being they both loved to write. Some of their other friends had signed up too but only Lily, Kaitlin, Seth and another 6th year showed up. Because there were so little the meeting ended early.

As they walked back to their dormitory, they laughed at each other's jokes. "Here," Kaitlin handed each of them a candy from her stash in her pocket.

"Thanks," both Lily and Seth replied.

Lily unwrapped the candy, and gently slid it in her mouth. She began to fiddle with the wrapper and the handed it to Seth without a word. "I'll treasure it forever," he told her jokingly.

Lily laughed but was interrupted by Kaitlin's yells," Oh my gosh! Someone has a crush!"

Both Lily and Seth knew exactly what she meant; Lily looked down embarrassment, while Seth sarcastically announced, "Yes, I have a crush on this very fine wrapper."

Lily would have laughed again, she knew Seth didn't like her like that, he liked Brooke, it was that simple but Kaitlin insisted to argue the point. They had stopped walking and Kaitlin and Seth argued through Lily, who was standing in between them. She stepped aside and the two began to whisper to each other. She stood there absolutely confused, she wanted to know what they were saying that she wasn't suppose to hear, she stepped closer, "Go back there! Hold on!" Seth shouted out her.

She knew he wasn't mad at her but took a step back anyway. They stopped whispering and they continued walking back. The jokes had stopped for the time being and they remained quite, until Seth left in the direction of the Ravenclaw common room.

"Kaitlin, what was that exactly?" Lily asked upset, "You should point things out like that while both parties are standing there, I was just slightly embarrassed and I'm sure Seth was too."

"Sorry," she responded like a child being punished, "I'm just straight forward."

"It's all right," Lily sighed, "But next time, just know that's not a good idea."

Kaitlin nodded and the two climbed into the Gryfindor common room. As they entered they passed the bulletin board which contained the list of those who had made the Quidditch team. They read the list through and there was Kaitlin's name, she had become a chaser. "Congrats!" Lily said suddenly excited.

"Thanks," responded a joyous Kaitlin.

Lily sat alone her house. Kaitlin, Alexie and Paige walked toward her and explained that they were going to run away. They began to leave just as Lily's parents drove up in the car. "Where are you going?" Lily's mother asked the girls.

"For a walk," Kaitlin lied, "Does Petunia want to come?"

Petunia jumped out of the car excited. Lily was surprised that she wanted to join them but even more confused on why Kaitlin had suggested that Petunia came. They walked for a very short amount of time until they reached Lily's grandmother's house. Her friends had left, Petunia was still there but off around the house. Lily's mother was their too, which Lily found odd, because her father wasn't, and it was his mother's house not hers. Her grandma began to question her and Lily started eating all of the food in the house. Once she ran out and her grandma stopped questioning her she began to eat plastic stars, they were green with sparkles and Lily found that they were quite crunchy. When they were all eaten, Lily was disgusted with herself for eating objects that weren't food.

She sat up; she couldn't believe all the bizarre dreams she was having. Eating stars was pretty bizarre. She quickly got ready when she saw that the others were already gone. No one was in the common room and so she quickly headed to the Great Hall for breakfast.

She smiled when she saw Paige, Madison and Alexie standing by the doors of the mostly empty room. "Hi you guys." Lily yawned, "I had the weirdest dream last night."

"Shoes falling off dream?" Paige asked.

"No but you and Alexie were in it," Lily didn't want to explain the whole dream out to them, "And I ate plastic green stars, and I was so disgusted with myself afterwards."

Madison and Alexie laughed, "Lily's having Paige dreams," Madison laughed once more.

"You have dreams that you're eating things that aren't food?" Lily quizzed.

"Yup," Paige responded.
