Dear Lils,
So hows your summer been? Mines been alright. I can't believe my mum made me go to dad's wedding to that witch ( speaking metaphorically). If you ever meet her, you'll completely understand what I mean. Besides that, though, my summers been pretty good. I've been in Florida for the past month and had the most amazing time at Disney World. I suppose for muggles, it really is the most magical place on earth. Seriously, next summer your totally coming here with me. Maybe during the Christmas holidays we can come here. I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind. He'll be too busy with Maggy, his new wife. Anyway, did your dear Jamsie try contacting you at all? You know, I really don't understand why you won't date him. He likes you. You like him. Makes perfect sense for the two of you to be together. Well, I have to start packing. I do have a flight to catch. See ya tomarrow at Kings Cross.
With much love,
Clover
She quickly sealed the parchment and tied it to Tilly's (her brown owl) leg. "Be careful Tilly and make sure you stay at Lily's tonight. She'll bring you to me tomarrow." Clover said softly before she sent the owl off. As soon as Tilly was gone from her sight, Clover went back to her packing. Not only was she packing her stuff that needed to go home, but also all her school supplies and robes.She sighed deeply as she thought of the long night ahead of her. She new it was her fault for putting the packing off, but she couldn't really help it. Being organized was never her thing. 'Well,' she thought to herself, 'I'll have at least half of the train ride to sleep while Lily's in her Prefects meeting.'
Two young men ran into Kings Cross station, drenched from head to toe. It was pouring rain outside. "I thought it wasn't supposed to rain until we were halfway to the school. Whats with the change?" James Potter asked his friend, Sirius Black.
"Do I look like a weather expert to you?" Sirius replied sarcastically.
"Oye! James, Sirius!" came a voice next to the barrier that lead to Platform 9 3/4.
"Hey! Hows it going Moony?" James yelled back as him and Sirius made their way over to him.
"Not too bad. How about you two? How were your summers?"
"Eh, nothing exciting really happened. We saw Snivellus a couple of times, but we were with me mum, so we didn't get to jinx him." James replied.
"I'm sure that just ruined your whole summer." Remus said in mock sympathy.
"Well... yeah, it did." Sirius replied. "We didn't see Lily or Clover all summer either!"
"Clover was in America for most of the summer, and Lily went on a family vacation to Paris." Remus explained, leading the boys through the barrier onto platform 9 3/4.
"And how do you know all this?" James asked accusingly.
"Well, I do happen to be friends with them..."
"A likely story."
"Oh shove off James. Remus isn't trying to steal our women." said Sirius.
The boys walked onto the train. They searched through the compartments until they came across one where a short, frumpy boy sat alone.
"Hey Wormtail! How was your summer?" James asked.
The boy beamed, "It was so boring. I can't wait 'till the full moon when we get to have some real fun!"
"Speak for yourself." Said Remus, shoving his stuff up next to Peters. "I gotta go though. Prefects meeting."
"This compartments empty. Lets sit here." Lily said, throwing her things above the compartment seats. "I gotta head out though, Prefects meeting and all."
"Alright. Just wake me up when you get back. I want to hear all about Paris." Clover said.
Lily turned and walked out of the compartment, shutting the door behind her as she left. Clover yawned as she tossed her things above the seats, just as Lily had done. She layed down across two of the seats and closed her eyes.
Immediately, she drifted off to sleep. Strange visions started to appear in her head.
It's a dark, cloudy night. A mysterious cloaked figure is creeping across a yard towards a house. The figure pulls something out of his cloak and points it at the lock on the door. He then proceeds to enter the house. He is greeted, however, by another. The man is shouting, but is quickly silenced as the cloaked figure points at the man with a wand and a green flash fills the room. The next moment the cloaked figure walks over the body of the man and makes his way upstairs. He opens a doorand comes across a women and her child. She is crying and pleading with the mysterious man. He raises his wand and points it at her child, but the women covers the baby with her body, and takes the curse upon herself. The man moves the womens body out of the way and once again trys to curse the young child. But something goes wrong. There is a blinding green light and horrible screaming...
Clover awoke very suddenly shaking uncontrollably, with cold sweat running down her face. It took her a moment to realize that she had fallen off the seats and was laying on the floor. She was also not alone. Two young men where beside her, worry clearly shown on their faces.
