Read and Review!

Lily arrived at Divination before anyone else, so she had some time to cool off. She sat on the floor and put her head between her knees. James really pissed her off. First he insulted her friends and then he tried to hit on her!

She let out a slow breath and shook her head.

"Lily! What are you doing here? I thought you were with James."

The rest of the Gryffindors, without James, had finally arrived.

"We got separated."

Alice gave her a long look and Lily knew she guessed part of what had happened.

"Well, he'd better hurry up or he's going to be late," Sirius held the door open for the classroom, "Ladies first. That means you too Peter."

"Leave him alone Sirius! Is your self-confidence really so low that you have to put him down all the time?" Lily exploded.

Sirius looked at her in shock.

"He just sits here and takes all this crap from you guys and doesn't do anything! He's more of a man then you are!"

Peter looked slightly abashed at this unlooked for defense. Molly was looking at a point to the left of Lily's head and Lily could have sworn that she was fighting back a smile. Feeling frustrated and a little shamed, Lily went into the classroom and sat on a squishy chair in the back.

Wait, squishy chair? What kind of a classroom was this? Lily looked around at the dimly lit room. There were drapes everywhere and Lily was sure that she could smell incense.

Everyone else came in behind her and sat down. James still hadn't arrived.

Lily looked back towards the front as a very tall woman with gauzy robes came into the room. She sat in her chair at the front of the room and looked around.

"Today, we will be interpreting dreams. Please take a few moments to write your latest dream down on a slip of paper. Do not write your name, I want these to be anonymous. When you're done, give me the slip," she frowned as James finally came into the room.

"Sorry Professor! I was-"

"Yes, I know what you were doing. Please sit down. One of your classmates can tell you what we're doing."

Lily, who had looked away when James came in, stood up and walked towards the teacher.

"Excuse me, I'm new. I haven't taken any Divination before, so I don't know anything about interpreting dreams."

"Lily Evans? That's fine; we are just beginning to learn this. However, you are the odd number and we have prearranged partners. So, I think you'll mostly be working with me. We will have to start from the beginning. You haven't had any Divination?"

"None."

"Ah well, many schools have decided that it is not worth teaching. There are so few Seers left. It's hard to get a competent teacher. Most Seers do not wish to spend their time teacher. I, however, felt that it is important to cultivate young Seers. Without proper training, they wouldn't amount to anything. Of course, this group has been a waste of my time. Especially those two," she bent a stern glance towards James and Sirius, who were whispering to each other and laughing while they wrote something down.

She turned back to Lily, "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to ramble. My name is Cassandra Vablatsky. Please come over here and we will begin with tea leaves."

Lily was beginning to wonder if James and Sirius were right about this class. Tea leaves!

By the time free time came around, Lily was thinking that she might just want to take a nap.

"Wait, I have Charms Club today!"

She sighed. Hopefully it would be more interesting then the rest of the day. She dragged herself over to the Charms class room.

When she got there, she was pleased to see Amelia, who waved at her and came over to say hi.

"Lily! How are your classes going? I'm so glad that you're going to be in Charms Club!"

"Well, I'm just try-"

"I've been so busy these first few days trying to organize all sorts of stuff. And of course the Head Boy is no help. He's a Slytherin. I hope you took my advice and stayed away from them."

"Actually-"

"You really need to be careful about who you hang out with Lily. I'm glad you were put in Gryffindor. Your roommate, Molly Prewett, she's a great gal. I'm sure she's taken you under her wing. You stick with her, Lily, and your life will be a lot easier. Actually, one of Molly's older brothers is here! You have to meet him!"

Lily found herself steered over to a muscular boy with short, curly, auburn hair.

"Fabian! I'd like you to meet Lily Evans! She just moved here from the US. She's Molly's roommate! Isn't that fantastic? Well, I'll leave you two to talk, I have some other stuff I need to do," and she left, leaving Lily feeling slightly dizzy.

Fabian grimaced after her, and then turned back to Lily, "Fabian Prewett, nice to meet you."

"Same here."

"So I see you know Amelia."

"Yes, she's, uh, she's very enthusiastic."

Fabian laughed, "Well that's one way to put it. So you're Gryffindor, huh? I used to be the only one. Next year you're going to be by yourself, if you continue."

"You're 7th year?"

"Yep, and Quidditch team captain. Say, are you any good? We're looking for a new Beater."

"I play every once in a while."

"You should come tryout. This Friday during free time."

"I might. So, what do you guys do at these meetings?"

"Depends. Last year's Head Girl was constantly planning things and we went on little excursions and stuff. It was pretty fun. This year? I don't know. Amelia's social, but not motivated enough to put anything together. We might end up sitting here and talking every meeting."

"I don't know if I'm going to stick around. There are other things that I could be doing."

"Yeah, you have OWLS this year, don't you? Those are pretty nasty. Have fun."

"Mmmm, thanks. I won't."

Fabian looked around, "This doesn't look too promising. Do you want to go take a walk?"

"Yeah."

Lily followed him out of the room and down the stairs.

"Fabian! What are you doing? Shouldn't you be in Charms Club?" Molly came out of a corridor next to them.

"Yeah, but we decided to take a walk," he said motioning to Lily.

Molly looked around him, saw Lily, and snapped her head back.

"You want to come with us?"

"No thank you," she said stiffly and walked off again.

Fabian stared after her for a second.

"What's wrong with her?"

"She's mad at me."

"At you? Whatever for?"

"I spent yesterday's free time with some Slytherins and everybody freaked out for a little. Molly freaked out for a while."

Fabian rolled his eyes, "People need to get over this whole Slytherin thing."

Lily was amazed, "Yes! Thank you! Finally another non-Slytherin who doesn't think that Slytherins are evil!"

"I never said Slytherins weren't evil, I just think they shouldn't be treated like scum. Even if they are."

Lily sighed, "Well, I guess that's the best I'm going to get from anyone."

Fabian considered, "Yeah, probably," he looked around, "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's walk around the lake."

They skirted the lake and chatted about school and life. Lily was curious about Hogsmeade, and Fabian was more then willing to give her details.

When they got back to the front of the school, they stopped for a little.

"Thanks for going on this walk with me," Lily said.

"No problem! It got me away from Amelia for a while," he wiped fake sweat off his forehead.

Lily laughed, "We should probably go in for dinner."

"Good idea, I'm starving!"

They entered the Great Hall and Fabian said goodbye to go sit with some of his friends. Lily turned aside and sat with Alice. She glanced at James, but he avoided her glance.

Great, now he wasn't speaking to her either. Lily shrugged it off and talked to Alice and Peter instead, with Sirius adding his input every once in a while. Remus wasn't anywhere to be seen.

The rest of Lily's night passed by uneventfully. When she finally got up to her room, she looked at the girl's bed again. Nothing had changed. She pulled the blanket back to find dead bugs littering the sheets.

She jumped back and rubbed her dirty hands on her jeans. There was no way that anyone had been in that bed for a very long time.

"Maybe it was just a dream."
