Chapter 8: My Life, A Dramatic Novel.

The next day was one of the most uncomfortable that I'd ever experienced. James seemed Happy, yet aggravated. Romana and Cyrena repeatedly asked me what had happened out in the hall, and on the walk. (Remus, Sirius, and James revealed nothing, thankfully.) Erica questioned what Romana and Cyrena were asking about. Sirius was still upset (Though I don't know why, I never broke any of his rules. Its not my fault James was in love with me, and of course, I was in love with James.) And Remus gave me weird glances as if to ask how I was doing during every class. By the end of Herbology Opal asked him if he had something in his eye and Erica was determined that I was dating her ex-boyfriend.

When Dinner came around I was ready to smack them all in the head. Its sad, when Pettigrew was the only one not annoying me.

Finally I left, only half done with my Pudding, and flinging my bag over my shoulder I made an early escape to the library.

The only people in the near silent library were a 4th year Hufflepuff, A 7th year Gryffindor who's name I knew was Todd Hennessey, I had heard the girls in my dormitory talk about his superior looks many times, and I also recognized his head boy badge, last was a 3rd year Raven claw.

I walked over to the shelf where I knew by heart included the book "Student Records of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

I pulled it off the shelf. It had a bit of dust on it, I expect I was the only one that had touched it and that was in my second year, I had found it by mistake and became interested.

I flipped it open, and immediately turned to the "B" section of the index.

Finding the section with "Black" as the last name, I turned to it. Page 211.

There was a fair few of Blacks that had gone to Hogwarts. Right before Sirius was "Regulus A. Black"

A very short history was beyond it.

"Regulus is now rumored to be on sides with the Dark Lord" Was all it read.

I stared hard at this. The date in the book proved that it had to be Sirius brother, his real brother. My breathing was a bit heavier than normal. Why hadn't he told me this? Why didn't I know? Sirius' Brother, who most would expect to be my brother, was a Death Eater and I didn't know!

A shadow was cast across the book and I knew it was coming from behind me. I turned around quickly to see Todd Hennessey standing with a cute smile on his face.

"W-what?" I said quickly with a stutter.

"Whatcha' doing?" He questioned. I shrugged, and then shut the book quickly.

"Student Records? Doesn't seem like a class project to me." He raised an eyebrow.

"Its not." I said, again quickly. He shrugged, and then took the seat next to me.

"Doesn't seem like light reading, either." He eyed the book. It was in fact large, but after centuries of the castle being opened to students, it had to be.

"I was just… looking to see if… Uhm…" I paused. "If the records were current. You know, if it was truly a magical book and self added records." I lied. He nodded.

"And did it?" He asked.

"I…. don't know. I was too busy reading the history of my family…" I smiled a bit.

"Oh, well lets see." He grabbed the book and pulled it towards him. I went to reach for it back, but deciding it would be too risky I didn't. I prayed he would read about Regulus.

He flipped it open to page 211. I bit the inside of my lip.

"Nope. Not in here." He flipped back to the index. Found Hennessey, and flipped to his family history.

He frowned when he found it. "It's a shame I'm the last Hennessey left. We've had a long history at Hogwarts."

"Why's that a shame? Aren't you going to get married, have kids?" I questioned. He sighed.

"I never really found anyone I'd want to get married too. I'm beginning to give up." He said. I could hear censer sorrow in his voice.

"Your only 17, you've got plenty of time."

"I'm going to be so busy after Hogwarts, I won't have time. I've already got an intern with the ministry this summer, and if I do good at that the head of the department say's I'd be guaranteed a job, a busy one, but well paying." He shrugged.

"I understand. Yet, I still don't know what I want to do with my life." I laughed a bit. He smiled at me.

"Neither did I in 6th year, I didn't figure it out until I went to the ministry over the summer." He patted my shoulder "You'll figure it out."

I smiled at him, and he looked back down at the book.

"I'm in here." He said. He flipped back to the Index by year, and looked for my graduating class. "There's a Lily Evans. Gryffindor. And your brothers in here…" he paused and looked up at me. "Why aren't you."

I had frozen by this point, and stuttering, I made up another lie. "E-Evans is my… old last name… I was… a-adopted."

"Oh? The Blacks adopted you?" He asked. I nodded quickly, feeling impressed with myself.

"But no one else knows, please don't spread it around." I pleaded. He nodded. I grabbed the book before it could do anymore harm and placed it back on the shelf. When I walked back I grabbed my bag.

"I'm going to head back to the common room to work on some homework." I said, with my bag over my shoulder.

"May I walk you?" He questioned. I blushed a bit, and nodded.

On our hike through the castle towards the Gryffindor tower we talked about things I'd never be able to talk about with my friends, such as our enjoyment of books. The girls would have sighed and told me I should stop being such a nerd, and the boys would just laugh. I doubt they even knew how to read. Remus would be the only one I might be able to discuss with. Todd even told off Peeves when he began to tease us.

We reached the common room and right as we stepped inside a 5th year ran up to Todd, batting her eyelashes in what I assumed she thought was a seductive way.

"Hey Todd." She smiled and felt his arm. "Professor Dumbledor wants to see you." She flicked her blonde hair out of her face.

"Oh…" He sighed.

"Want me to walk with you?" The girl questioned, standing up straight.

"No, I can find my way on my own thanks." He gave the girl an odd glance, and then looked back at me. "I'll see you later, okay Lily?" He kissed my cheek and walked back out the portrait hole.

The Fifth year stared at me through angry blue eyes, her mouth open in surprise.

"What?" I asked.

"You already have James Potter at your feet! You don't need Todd Hennessey!" She said loudly and stormed off. I watched her go, and then leaned against the wall, closing my eyes. I really did love James. But I could have Todd, I couldn't have James. I gulped, and then walked up to my dorm.

Lying on my bed, I stared at the ceiling. Why did being a girl have to be so full of Drama? If I wrote down all the things that went on, it could make a novel. Yeah, that's right…

My Life, a Dramatic Novel.

A/N Sorry there was no Lily-James in this chapter, I know many of my reviewers have been begging for more of it but this chapter was essential for the story line. :)

Also, I'm looking for a Beta for both this story and "Secrets Don't Make Friends" this means you A: Get to read the chapters before everyone else and B: I'll help promote your stories if you write any. I'm looking for perferably two Betas, but if I can only find one thats okay too. I need you to be online around once a day (If you go on vacation, don't sweat it, I understand) and have good knowladge for Grammar and such. Mostly just to yell at me when I make idiotic mistakes. Thanks

The lovely Jen Riddle.
