"James, are you alright?" Lily asked me. "We're outside."
"I'm fine I was just thinking. So, what did you want to ask me?"
"You know when Peter and Remus asked why we weren't at the sorting last night?"
"Yea."
"Well, I thought thank you, James and you answered me. I don't know if I'm crazy or not," she sounded worried.
Oh, how much I would give to hug her right now. "Your not crazy, Lily. I heard you in my mind and I did answer you. But Lil, umm…do you know how you could talk to me in my mind?"
"No I don't know, but I'm going to go tell Professor McGonagall about this."
"No- don't tell McGonagall. Go to Professor Dumbledore."
(Lily's POV)
"Why Dumbledore?" I asked.
"Well, because there are only three possible answers for us to communicating through our minds. 1) is that you have a vary rare gift of listing to others thoughts. 2) you could be the princess of water. Or 3) you could be the heir of Ravenclaw, which we lost track of a couple of years ago."
I was so confused. "How could I have any of toughs gifts? I'm muggleboren," he gave me a vary strange look that I have only seen when he's hiding something from me. "James, what are you hiding from me?"
"Nothing," he said a little too quickly. He lies. I know he dose.
"Don't say 'nothing' because you know that I know when you're lying to me."
"I promised not to tell you Lily," he said looking down at his feet.
"Who made you promise not to tell me something?" I demanded.
"A Professor," he whispered.
"Which one?"
"A boy Professor."
"Well, thanks James. That really narrows it down, there's Professor Dumbledore, Flitwick, West, Binns, Cook, Johnson, Star, Kunis and Slughorn!" I exploded putting one finger up for each Professor I said.
"Who is Professor Kunis, Cook, and Johnson?" James asked
"Oh, my God! I thought that everyone knew who they were," I laughed.
"Well, I don't."
"Okay then. Professor Johnson teaches Care of Magical Creatures. Professor Cook teaches Muggle studies, and Professor Kunis teaches Divination."
"When do we take all of toughs classes?" he asked.
"We choose at least two of them in third year. Now, since you didn't know who three of the teachers were that leaves five.," I smiled.
James was starting to sweat now. "Go to Dumbledore. The sooner you find out how you could communicate with me through out minds the better."
"It's Dumbledore isn't it? That's why you want me to go to him so bad."
"I told you I can't tell you. Go to Dumbledore now, before I loose my temper," he said pushing me back toward the school.
I gave in knowing James' temper, and I started to walk on my own toward the school. I didn't meet anyone in the corridors until I was in the one right before Dumbledore's office. There were voices behind me. I turned around and I saw who the voices were and I looked franticly for a hiding place before they saw me. Too late. Lucius Malfoy saw me and whispered something to the body guard looking boys, and the next thing I knew I had one boy on each arm and I was pinned agent the wall. Lucius was walking slowly toward me. My heart started thumping loudly in my ears. So loudly I almost missed what he said. "Hello, again Lily. Last time we meat I didn't get to introduce you to my friends," he sneered.
"I know who they are," I said surprising myself and everyone else. "That's Colby Crabb," I said nodding my head toward my left, "Gregory Goyle, Amanda Aaserud, Alyssa Anderson, Tori Fire, and Ryan O'Neill," I jerked my head toward each of them.
"How did you know that?" Malfoy asked stepping back a little.
"I don't know… I… just did."
He started a walk toward me again, "I don't believe you," he said softly, "and every time you lie to me, you will get a little taste of paradise," he smiled evilly. My heart started to pound even louder as he came in for a kiss. "Oh, and did I mention, that each time you lie. I'll kiss you harder and longer," he sneered.
"No," I said bitterly.
"What house are you in?"
"Gryffindor."
"You cant be," he whispered.
"Well, I-" I got cut off by him kissing me full on the mouth again un-wanted.
