Title: Twisted Dreams
In this story, James and Lily are already dating in their seventh year. This is all totally made up, except for the names of some of my characters, that are of course in JK Rowling's Harry Potter. I hope you enjoy my story, and I would love and reviews that could be given.

Holly woke up and bolted up straight. She was drenched in cold sweat and she shivered as it ran down her back. She shook her head slowly and put her head in her hands. What's going on? Where are these dreams coming from? Almost all her dreams were about people or things being injured, ruined or even killed. There was the occasional good dream every now and then, but they never came often enough.
She was from the Slytherin house. She was kind unlike most of the people in it and often wondered why she was sorted there, instead of in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. In fact most of her friends were in those two houses and she was almost always in their common room instead of hers. Her long, blonde hair framed her somewhat pale face, and she had to keep pushing it out of her face whenever the wind ended up blowing it into her face. Her pale blue eyes pierced a person's thoughts and made many cower. She was unusually attractive for a Slytherin girl in all reality.
A sigh escaped her lips as she slipped out of bed and threw on a cloak and stepped into a pair of shoes. Quietly she left the drafty girls dorm and slipped out of the common room, and began to wander around the school. Her sight was keen in the dark and everything was clear to her vision. She slipped her hands inside her cloak and rested one upon her wand, just in case something happened or she got caught. With every twist and turn of a corridor or every staircase she came to, she checked to make sure no one was following her. All of her wandering eventually brought her the entrance door of Hogwarts and she decided a breath of fresh air would be nice. She pulled one of the doors open and stepped out into the cool night air. She took a deep breath and sighed, and stepped out onto the grounds.
She found herself wandering aimlessly across the quiet grounds at Hogwarts. She wasn't all too sure where she was going, but it was something for her to do, and get rid of her thoughts on her dreams. She realized she had been outside for hours when a bolt of lightning lit the black sky and thunder could be heard rolling overhead. She tilted her head back as the rain came falling down upon her face and she grinned. Looking around her she realized she probably should be inside studying for her potions test, and even though she was of the Slytherin house, she was not a favorite of Mr. Krickly. She ran to the entrance of Hogwarts, slipping and sliding as she went. Upon reaching the entrance she quickly glanced around her and slowly pushed the large oak doors open and stepped inside casting a spell on herself so she'd be dry.
Her footsteps made soft scuffing noises as she made her way to the library. After wandering through many corridors and stairways, she ended up turning a corner and almost tripping over a figure sitting on the ground. She quickly stopped and looked down at the boy. She had seen him before. She knew that a lot of girls just went gah-gah or began to drool as he walked past, almost funny in her sight. Holly just stood there, wondering who exactly the person was and why they were here. She quickly looked around hoping not to be caught outside of the dorms, at this time of night.
"Hullo there.... What are you doing out here?" She whispered.
She looked intently at the boy. He seemed about her same age, but in the dimly lit corridor she couldn't be certain. The main thing that struck her as unusual were his bright green eyes. The seemed to glow with their own light, but reflected the dancing and twisting of the flaming torches. The boy never looked up at her, or made a movement to. He just silently sat there as though she wasn't even there, and had never spoken. She slowly put out a hand to touch the boy's shoulder, but quickly drew it back as soon as she had touched him. He was freezing cold, almost like ice. Something that wasn't natural or normal. Even at Hogwarts...

"James you can't be serious. We'll get caught, and get more detention with McGonagall." Remus shuddered and shook his head.
James just shook his head and motioned for Remus and Sirius to follow him. He knew what he was doing and he wouldn't let any whining stop him from having a little fun. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." He whispered as he touched a pieced of parchment with his wand. Ink began to flood over the parchment and it all formed itself to be a map with objects moving on it. James smiled as he looked over the map. "Well, well. What do we have here? Two children out of bed and together none the less. I say we go break up their party." He winked at his two friends and followed the directions of the map.
Sirius looked at Remus, who gulped. He gave him a friend punch in the arm and waved at him so he might come. Remus was usually more then happy to follow and create trouble, but something just didn't seem right, but he followed them anyways.
They followed their map for what seemed like an hour, and they finally approached what they came to find. They gasped though, at the sight. A girl, whose face was pale and she was curled up in a corner trying not to shake. There was a boy also pale, but he was the color of snow and he was unmoving. The first of the three to regain their composure was Remus. He quickly moved over to the girl who had begun to cry in her hands. He knelt down beside her and awkwardly put an arm over her shaking shoulders trying to comfort her.
"Oh, don't cry, it's ok. Nothings going to happen." The girl slowly lifted her tear-streaked face. "What happened?"
"I... I woke up after having a nightmare... and couldn't go back to sleep. I wandered around for a while and eventually ended up here. I touched him, and his skin was ice." She started to cry a little again. "It... it was just like my dream. A boy as cold as ice, and lifeless as death, would be found here at Hogwarts. It all happened, just like I had dreamed it." With that she hid her face in her arms and knees, and began to cry.
Remus looked up at James and Sirius, who had turned their attention to the girl. Their faces must have mirrored his. A girl who could dream the future and a dead boy in Hogwarts, it just doesn't seem right. Remus moved his gaze back to the girl in his arms, because she had stopped crying and was looking at the three.
"What's your name?" Remus questioned.
"My name is Holly. I'm a seventh year Slytherin... You're Remus, James, and Sirius right? Fancy actually talking to you like this." Her face turned a shade pinker and she smirked a bit.
Sirius grinned and decided to answer her. "You spoke correctly about who we are. We are the Marauders." He gave a slight bow, and James snickered in the background. "It's nice to meet you Holly." He looked around at everyone again. "If you don't mind, we'll come with you back to your dormitory, just in case something else happens."
Holly stirred her gaze from Remus and nodded her head. "I would appreciate that very much." She slowly got up, using the wall for support, but was still a bit wobbly. What have I gotten myself into this time? She began to topple over and Remus caught her.
"Here, I've got you." He slipped an arm under hers and began to walk her back to Slytherin. He turned his head to look back and saw that James and Sirius were following close behind. He turned his head back to in front of him and quickly stopped moving. Straight ahead was a moving light. "Quickly hide!" He ducked behind two suits of armor and pulled Holly down with him. He saw James and Sirius hide, and noticed the light had come incredibly closer. Oh crap, we're about to be caught!
