First off, before even the story. I want to apologize for not updating in almost a month. So... I'M SO SORRY! School got ahold of me and I didn't have much free time but that is NO excuse.

So here is two updates to make up for it!

Explainations

She was in the hospital wing with many people standing around her. She saw Matt and Isaac conversing softly together in a corner throwing her nervous glances, Dani was sitting in a chair, scowling and being yelled at by Sarah, and Potter and his group of friends were trying to talk Madame Pomfry into letting them get in. But the one face that she was looking for wasn't there, and that face was that of Kevin Kikkert.

Lily got up and walked up to Isaac and Matt. "Where's Kevin?" They didn't answer her so she just kept listening to their conversation to see why.

"Do you really think that she'll be alright?" Matt asked Isaac, worry showing all over his face.

"I – I don't know." Isaac answered his gaze drifting over to Lily's bed, Lily's eyes followed his. There she was, still lying on the bed, unconscious with small scratches all over her face and arms. To say the least, she looked awful

'I must be in a really waked out dimension or something' Lily thought, 'that is the only explanation. I should probably go and try and see Dumbledore maybe, if he can see me that is, he will know what to do.'

Lily walked the familiar halls to Dumbledore's office. She passed many people that she knew, some her friends and some not, but no one seemed to notice her. They just looked right past her and didn't even acknowledge that she was there.

Finally she got to the headmaster's office and after about twenty guesses figured out the password (chocolate flavored Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans). Then she ran up the stairs as soon as the stone gargoyle had moved aside.

When she saw Professor Dumbledore at his desk she quickly went over to him. "Professor! Professor Dumbledore!"

"Yes Miss Evans, what is it? I didn't expect to see you out of the Hospital wing so quickly. What can I do for you?"

"So you – you can see me then?"

"Yes Miss Evans I can see you. Quite clearly, I might add. Why don't you sit down and explain to me what happened. I believe that you were in the hospital wing today because of a rather vivid dream that you had had?"

"I think so Professor. One minute I was… somewhere outside." Lily thought long and hard in silence trying to remember. "I can't remember where anymore Professor, it feels like the harder that I try to remember the more I keep forgetting about the dream. I can only remember one thing, and it is very vivid as if it is burning in my mind, three initials or a name… or something… the letters J, I, and P."

Dumbledore nodded his head as if he knew exactly what was going on. "Miss Evans, a question if I may? Have you ever had a premonitious dream?"

Lily blushed. "Well, I do sometimes. But only when I accidentally fall asleep, and not even every time then."

Dumbledore gave her a small smile. "I believe I do know what happened to you, but before I begin may I ask you a question?" Lily nodded her head. "In your dream, was there almost like a flash of darkness?"

"Well, yes. How did you –"

"Miss Evans you haven't fully woken up yet from your dream."

Lily just looked at him, obviously confused.

"At times, when a wizard or witch is having a premonition in their dreams they can not fully wake up. And many of them are stuck living in this half-awakened state because there isn't any other witch or wizard around them who can see them and do the counter curse."

"But Professor, why does that happen to begin with? It has never happened before to me so why should it happen now."

"Miss Evans while I explain this better I would like to make a request that you remain silent until I have finished." Lily nodded. "Thank you. Now how should I best explain this… all right here I go. Have you every heard of the man William Sanique?" Lily shook her head. "That doesn't surprise me, Sanique used to be a well know wizard however. He supposedly discovered this state that you are now in called Trans-dimensional. He claimed to have seen a young child walking around trying to get everyone's attention but not succeeding. He walked up to him and asked him what was wrong and was surprised by his answer, "No one can see me, hear me, or touch me." Sanique thought that this boy was playing a joke and thus pretended not to see him as he thought the kid had requested. He then claimed to be seeing others who no one else could see and had been considered dead. Needless to say he ended up in St. Mungo's and died not soon after at the age of thirty-six. All of his claims were forgotten until the Minister of Magic, Kelvin Calvin started witness that very same thing. He didn't say anything for several years when a boy, no older than 10 seemed to not have aged a day after him having seen him for almost 5 years. No one appeared to believe him of course either until he was able to prove it. In 1876, less than a year after he had told others about him seeing these people, he found a way to reunite a recently 'un-awakened' person with their body. The person who was reunited retold to others what had happened and they were forced to believe him."

"But Professor what does this have to do with me? Why does this happen?" Lily was still highly confused.

"This only happens to people who have premonitious dreams Miss Evans. I assume that you have had some before now?" Lily nodded. "Am I also correct in assuming that you are wondering why this hasn't happened to you before when you have had these dreams?" Lily nodded again. Dumbledore's eyes began to twinkle dangerously. "Miss Evans what woke you up?"

"Pardon me Professor?"

"What was the cause of you waking up?"

"Well, someone yelled my name. That is the last thing that I remember happening before I saw the hospital wing."

"That is why this has never happened before. You woke up before a second dream was supposed to have finished. Your subconscious was still in the 'future' if you want to call it that and when you were startled by the yell then your subconscious and your conscious were ripped apart."

"Professor, you said that Kelvin Calvin, the minister, was able to reverse the process. Can you do it to? I won't be stuck like this forever will I?" Lily gasped as something horrible entered her head. "My body isn't DEAD is it?"

"No Miss Evans, your body is not dead. However, if we are unable to get you back into it by the time others give up hoping for you and your body is buried then there is no hope at all to getting you back to your normal state." Dumbledore gave her a reassuring smile. "In answer to your first question, yes I can perform the charm. Why don't we go on down to the hospital wing right now and see what I can do, alright Miss Evans?"

Lily got up warily and followed the Headmaster down the halls and into the Hospital wing. As soon as they reached the doors he turned to her and said, "I will have to pretend that you are not here. When we enter the room, lay down right on top of you unconscious self and don't move. Align yourself with well… yourself." Dumbledore chuckled. "Alright, in we go."

Dumbledore strode into the Hospital wing and said, "I demand to know what has happened."

Lily took this as a cue to quickly get into her 'bed' and did so, noticing that she slid right through her 'unconscious' state, and not noticing a queer look she was getting from someone else in the room.

Dumbledore quickly strode over after hearing an explanation from the nurse and ordered everyone out of the hospital wing. Everyone left except for Pomfrey. "You too Poppy." He said softly.

"But headmaster, I-"

"Now."

She left mumbling about needing to attend to her patient not being forced to leave the minute the headmaster comes in.

Dumbledore started to whisper softly to Lily, "Alright Lily, I will be doing it shortly. I however must caution you. You may not 'wake up' for quite some time. I am not sure how long it takes for this charm to go into affect. Now don't worry." Dumbledore started whispering an incantation but Lily couldn't make out the words, he was doing it to softly. The next thing she knew was darkness.

When Lily woke up it was dark in the infirmary and no one was around.

She got up and looked back at the bed to see that, thankfully, she was now 'back in her body'.

She walked around to stretch her legs and looked in the mirror above her nightstand. Her face looked a lot better than it did yesterday. She turned around and was about to get back into bed when she heard someone breathing deeply nearby. She looked over in that direction and seeing nothing was AGAIN about to get in bed when yet again she heard the deep breathing. So she decided to go and snoop a bit over in that direction thinking that maybe someone was wearing an invisibility cloak.

When she got to the chair that noise increased so she put her hand out and slowly started searching for the silky feel of an invisibility cloak. She found it in a matter of seconds and slowly pulled it off.

Her eyes narrowed when she saw the unmistakable unruly black hair of James Potter. He was sleeping in the chair with a small smile on his face. She decided immediately that he needed to be taught a lesson. So she went about and grabbed all of her things (there was some get well presents and cards) shrunk them and put them in her pockets. Then she threw the invisibility cloak over her head. She couldn't help but smile to herself as she left knowing full well that Potter would get at least a detention from Pomfrey for 'disturbing her patient'.

Lily slowly made her way up to Gryfinndor tower and crept inside after telling the fat lady the password, 'chocolate apples'. She spent a peaceful night in her dorms knowing that the next day, being Sunday, she would be able to relax outside with her friends.

The next day a very upset nurse awoke James Potter.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE, AND WHERE IS MISS EVANS!"

James was befuddled. Where was his invisibility cloak? Had it slid off of him while he was sleeping? He ignored the furious Madame Pomfrey and searched around the floor for it in vain. It was gone.

"YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION MR. POTTER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, AND WHERE IS MISS EVANS!"

"Madame, I have no idea where Lily is. I came in here before curfew last night to see if she was awake and I must have fallen asleep. But when I fell asleep she was still here." He lied quickly. There was no need to tell her about the missing invisibility cloak. He knew where it must be if Lily was gone.

"Mr. Potter I will have to be giving you a detention for being in here without my permission."

"WHAT! Madame Pomfrey, I-"

"No excuses. Be here tonight at 7:00 so that you can clean the bedpans. NO MAGIC, you will be giving me your wand at the start."

James walked out of the Hospital wing grumbling. Evans had taken his cloak, and now he had gotten a detention because of it. Forget the fact that he loved her, she was going to get it.

He found Lily outside by the lake laughing with the new transfers, Matt, Isaac, and that Slytherin. He stormed up to them determined to give her a peace of his mind.

Lily was sitting on Kevin's lap talking to him, Matt and Isaac about the prank that they pulled the night she had those premonitious dreams. They had not only dyed the Marauder's hair and clothes purple but their skin as well. Unfortunately the Marauder's had done a similar prank on them as well, dying their hair and clothes green and their skin silver to match the Slytherin colors.

"The sad part is though, that seeing as both of our groups knew how to do it, we both knew the counter-curse and no one saw them that way." Matt was saying before they all burst out in laughter.

Lily looked back at Kevin, he was smiling his wonderful smile then he looked down at her and leaned his head in. But before they could kiss an angry voice yelled out at her.

"LILIAN MARIE EVANS. I KNOW IT WAS YOU WHO TOOK MY CLOAK AND GOT ME A DETENTION WITH POMFREY!"

Lily played the act of innocence. "Why James, I don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about. You got a detention? That is unbelievable! Imagine James Potter got a detention! Oh no! What is the world to do." She said sarcastically.

"Stuff it Evans. Why did you do it." This wasn't a question it was a demand.

Lily looked at him, her eyes full of hatred. "The same reason you prank people endlessly time and time again. You needed to get something for it. You were out after hours and without permission in the hospital wing. You never got a detention for any of your pranks so I felt the need to pay you back for everyone else's misfortunes."

James just stood there tongue-tied after realizing what just happened. He had stormed out and yelled at Lily. He yelled at LILY. After a while he turned beat red and stormed off back to the castle.

Lily turned back to her friends and smiled. But they were no longer smiling.

"Lily why did you do that." Isaac said frowning.

"Why did I do what? Why did I make sure that he got a detention?"

Isaac nodded.

"You guys haven't been here the past few years. You haven't woken up with green hair and been unable to get it out so you would be forced to walk to the Great Hall that way because there was classes that day. You guys have never had a prank pulled on you that you haven't been able to get rid of or over come. You haven't been embarrassed in front of the whole school! You were the ones embarrassing others at your old school. You were never once embarrassed!" Lily by now was in tears.

"Lily, that is no reason just to get someone a detention. You shouldn't have done that." Matt said.

"Oh really? Why not? If you saw someone that you considered an enemy asleep with an invisibility cloak on somewhere where they weren't supposed to be, would you give up an opportunity to get them in trouble by just slipping away with their cloak?"

"Lily, this is different, you got a Gryfinndor into trouble!" Matt started, but he couldn't finish because Lily interrupted him.

"How is that any different? Just different houses! Look; let's look again at the person you hate the most. If you had an opportunity to get him/her into trouble, would you do it? Of course! Now if you'll excuse me, I best be going. I see I'm not wanted here."

Lily just glared at them as she got up and ran to the castle, ignoring their calls of trying to get her to come back. She ran right to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. She knew that no one would go in there after her. Myrtle and her were great friends and had had many enjoyable chats when Lily was down. They would both end up cheering each other up.

"Hello Myrtle." Lily said between sobs.

"Lily. What happened to you now? Did Potter play a prank on you again?" Myrtle sneered. At first this had bothered Lily, but now she saw that this was just Myrtle's way of self-defense.

"No… it's just. Well, my new friends don't get why I did something. I got Potter a detention and now they are mad at me for it."

Myrtle gave a smirk. "Potter deserved it."

Lily laughed. She knew that Myrtle hated him. Potter used to laugh at her all the time when he and his friends used to brew illegal potions in here. Lily had caught them once and threatened to tell Professor Hinsop on them if they continued.

"Yes, he did. But my friends can't understand that."

"Then they are no friends. None, they are NOT worth it."

"I don't know. I mean, I just met them this summer and I was hoping that even though we didn't know each other for very long they would still understand…"

"Don't bother with them. Friends are worthless."

Lily sighed. This was pointless. Whenever she and Myrtle talked about friends, Myrtle told her that friends were no good. "I have to go Myrtle. Thanks for letting me talk to you."

Myrtle's only response was a wailing sound as she flushed herself down one of the toilets.

Lily wondered around the castle for a while trying to clear her brain. Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where she was going and she crashed right into something. SomeONE to be exact.

"Oh! I am so-" Lily cut herself off when she noticed who it was. "What in the world were you doing Potter that was SO important that you couldn't watch where you were going." She fumed.

"Oh, and I'm SURE that you were doing something MUCH more important to do that YOU couldn't watch where YOU were going EITHER." James Potter retorted. It was obvious that he was in such a bad mood.

Lily continued to glare and then spoke. "You know what? I'm sorry."

"You are?"

"Yes, I'm sorry that your parents have to live with you acting like that every day of your life." She snapped before storming away and turning left down the very first corridor, leaving James to watch her back as he shook his head in agony.

"Why, why in the WORLD did I do that!" He walked off, hoping to find the Room of Requirement again. He was helpless at finding it without the map.

James didn't even walk for a minute before Sirius came up behind him and slapped him on the back.

"Hey! Heard 'bout the fight between you and Evans. It is BOUND to be a classic."

"Padfoot, I don't WANT it to be a classic. I shouldn't have yelled at her. I may have ruined all of my chances."

"Nope, you didn't Prongs." Sirius said smiling. James looked up hopefully. "You never had a chances to begin with!"

James gave him a murderous look before he strode off.

"Prongs! Prongs wait up! I didn't mean it. It was just a joke! Gees, you sure don't take a joke well."

"WELL MAYBE I WOULD IF IT WAS ACTUALLY FUNNY!"

"Whoa, no need to get upset. Sorry 'bout that. Friends again?" Sirius said, still smiling.

James obviously couldn't say 'no' to him. They ended up walking off in the direction of the Gryfinndor common room planning their next prank, completely forgetting about his detention until five minutes before he was supposed to be there.

Lily sat in bed that night wondering if she had done the right thing. Sure she hated Potter, but now her friends hated her because of it. She didn't want to lose a new friendship (and her first boyfriend) because of a stupid feud she had with Potter.
