**************************************************************************** ****************************** Chapter 2: Bad Happenings
The days went by nicely and quietly, with Lily and Em going to their classes, talking, and enjoying life at Hogwarts. Of course, they both had some least favorite courses that were not as enjoyable as the rest. History of Magic was one of them. And Potions. History of Magic was so boring; over half the students carried small pillows in their backpacks. Lily was one of them. Em was not. She was very fixed on keeping up her good marks and was very...intellectual, as one would call it. So was Lily, but just not that much. Potions, on the other hand, was horrible for a whole different reason. Their teacher, Proffesor Diavolo, was highly biased. In his youth, he had been sorted into Slytherin, and unfortunately, that still showed. They shared Potions with the infamous Slytherins, and Proffesor Diavolo favoured these above all others. In Slytherin, there was also two boys, who Lily and Em - and the rest of the school for that matter - would rather avoid. They were Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. Best friends. They had a very bad reputation. 1. They were in Slytherin, 2. They bullied everything and everyone, and 3. Everything pointed to, that they would support the growing \"Dark Side\", as it was called. Or at least, their fathers would. These two boys were higly against anyone muggle-born. They were therefore higly against Lily and Em.
One day during one of the better Potions lessons, they were making the Color-Changing Potion. It could change the color of anything it touched to the color it itself had. The color it had, depended on what ingredients were put in. Lily and Em, who were working together, had made a red potion. And they could see, by the smoke coming from the different cauldrons, that some of the other potions were blue, purple, green, yellow, and orange. At the end of the lesson, Proffesor Diavolo tested their potions on a little mouse. The Gryffindor girls were agains this, as according to them, this behaviour was catagorized under animal abuse. So under many protests, the mouse turned red, orange, yellow, blue, and green. Then the turn came to Malfoy and Snapes potion. It was black. As Proffesor Diavolo turned to bring it to his desk, Malfoy stuck out his foot. The Proffesor tripped, and the cauldron flew high up into the air and tipped all it\'s contents out on...Lily. The class went silent. Lily felt the hot liquid cascade down her neck and through her pores into her skin. She had turned black. Completely black.
\"Oh look!\" Malfoy announced to the silent class. \"Lily\'s not only fat, she\'s a freaking nigger, too!\" Only the Slytherins thought this was funny. Proffesor Diavolo calmed them down, then said to Lily
\"Well...I dont think it\'s an emergency, Miss Evans. You just attend your other classes like you normally would today. It\'s a waste of valuable learning time going to the Hospital Wing.\" He smirked. Lily felt burning tears begging to crawl out, and she dashed out the classroom. Em took one. Really. Dirty. Look at Proffesor Diavolo, and rushed after Lily. She found her fleeing to the Hospital Wing. When Em finally got to her side, Lily burst out in more tears.
\"He...he said I\'m fat!\"
\"Lily!\" Em shrieked. \"You. Are. Not. Fat! No matter what the motherfucker says to you!\" Lily did not have the self-confidence to handle other peoples negative opinion about her, and this was not good.
\"You should be more worried about that color you\'ve taken on!\" But Lily wasn\'t listening. She ran up the 5 flights of stairs to the Hospital Wing, and slammed through the door. Madam Pomfrey, who had been reading quietly about Witch Hygiene, swirled around.
\"Oh Lily dear, what happened?\" She cried out. She really liked Lily.
\"Color-Changing Potion.\" Lily sobbed. She left out the How and Who part. She didn\'t want to think about what Malfoy would do to her if she tattled.
\"Ok Lily dear, just lie down. I\'ll fix you up in no time,\" Madam Pomfrey said, as she grapped the Normalizer.
\"He...he said I\'m fat.\" Lily whimpered.
\"He WHAT?\" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed, as she looked down at Lily\'s already thin body. She didn\'t want to ask who Lily was talking about, as she realized Lily wasn\'t going to tell her. \"Don\'t you listen to him, I tell you! Don\'t you listen! He obviously doesn\'t know what he\'s talking about!\" Madam Pomfrey comforted Lily. She was was kind of like Lilys\' guidiance counselor. Seeing that Hogwarts didn\'t have a proffesional one of those.
When Lily was fixed up, she went back to the Gryffindor common room. She wasn\'t planning on going to any of her other classes. Or lunch for that matter. Maybe dinner. But Em found her.
\"Get your ass moving, young lady, or you, of all people, might get a B in Charms!\"
Lily sighed, and obediantly got up. Together with Em, she went to her classes. Unfortunately, the passed Malfoy and Snape on their way to Care of Magical Creatures.
\"See the color\'s gone. See the fat isn\'t!\" Malfoy whispered, so only Lily could hear. Lily was determined not to let her tears escape. When lunch came around, Lily told Em she just had to go to the bathroom. When Lily didn\'t show up for the whole lunch period, Em got worried. She ran up to the common room, and found Lily in there...again. She was reading a book.
\"Lily!\" Em exclaimed. \"Where were you?\"
\"Oh, I, uuuh, wasn\'t really hungry.\" Lily stuttered. Em looked sceptic, but decided to let it slip.
When the same thing occured at dinner time, Em knew something was up. Something bad. Something really bad.
