Mischievous Angel
Chapter 1
The Beginning of It All
"Hurry up, Lily or you'll be late!" came the cry from downstairs. Seventeen-year-old Lily Evans sighed before yelling down that she'd be ready in a few minutes. Lily almost didn't want to go back to school. That summer had been very peaceful, for once, without her horse faced sister, Petunia. Petunia had gotten married last summer to her extremely fat fiancé, Vernon Dursley. The wedding hadn't been the most fun affair for Lily who had been forced to wear horrendous looking neon pink taffeta dress that clashed horridly with her hair. Don't get me wrong; pink was one of Lily's favorite colors, however it did not look good on her at all. In fact Lily's room was decorated in pink and blue. It was very bright but then Lily loved bright colors.
Lily finished putting the last few articles in her trunk and stood up. With a simple charm, Lily was easily able to lift the now light trunk and carry it down the stairs and into the trunk of the car. Being seventeen, Lily could drive and had been for a year, but she didn't want to leave her convertible at the station; too many cars got vandalized.
Lily dashed back upstairs to her room to get her owl, Lyra. Lyra was a small snowy owl. She may not look it, but Lyra was a very strong and reliable owl. She almost always delivered Lily's mail quickly unless there was a bad storm or something.
With Lyra (in her cage) in hand, Lily dashed back out to the car where her parent's Mark and Rose Evans were waiting.
"Got everything, dear?" asked Lily's mother.
"Yes, mum. I've got everything." Said Lily in a bored tone looking out the window as her father backed out of the driveway.
Lily's mother smiled at her daughter. Every year Lily went off to her English boarding school for witchcraft and wizardry, Hogwart's. Every year she'd come back raving about all she'd learned (much to Petunia's disgust), her friends and teachers but each year she had also come back complaining about 'Potter and his followers.' This year she hadn't complaining too much about this Potter guy but then again lily had spent a lot of her free time with her friends Chilali Tama and Adara Bledow.
As Lily stared out the window at the passing countryside, she thought back on her past six years at Hogwart's. She could remember as plain as day the day that she'd met Adara and Chilali on their first train ride. The three had become really close friends over the next six years. The three friends told each other just about everything from Adara's latest boyfriend to Lily's family issues (a.k.a Petunia). During their first year at Hogwart's the three girls had discovered the kitchens, two secret rooms, several passageway's and come up with a game much like muggle laser tag.
Lily smiled and fingered the white bracelet that served as a score keeper for the game. Adara had made them when the three had decided to use bracelets as their scorekeepers. Chilali's was made so that when they wanted to start a game of 'Witches Tag' as they called it, all she had to do was think of the time she wanted the game to start and tap her bracelet with her wand. Then to set the end time, she'd do the same thing thinking of the ending time instead. The other bracelets would then vibrate and project the times discretely so that the wearer of the bracelet would know the times. All three bracelets were later charmed to transmit messages this came in handy and was very useful for keeping conversations during class a secret. Lily frowned slightly as she remembered the incident that had led up to that idea.
Flashback
Lily yawned and went back to taking notes. History was the most boring class. Most of the other students were either passing notes, out right talking, or sleeping. The professor didn't care. Their professor, Professor Binns was a ghost. Anyone would have thought that being taught by a ghost was interesting, but they would be wrong. Binns could make the most interesting things dull. Just then Lily felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and took the note that Chilali was handing her. Lily opened it and read:
Lily, the game is tonight at ten. We'll meet in the common room ten minutes before. What time should we end?
How about 12 since we have physics first thing tomorrow then drama? Lily wrote before handing it back.
A few seconds later, she felt another tap on her shoulder.
Sounds goo. I'll set it up, Lily read.
The note passing went on all through the class. It went somewhat like this…
A: Cool. Let's keep this between us three.
L: Of course, the more people the more likely we are to get caught by a professor.
C: McGonagall would kill us if we got caught.
A: Yeah she would! We'd probably have detention for at least a week.
C: Is Binns ever going to get a clue and realize that nobody listens to him?
L: That was random, but I don't think he ever will.
A: Never, he doesn't even have a clue that James is standing next to Sirius' desk, not sitting at his.
L: The only thing he really ever notices is when someone throws a ball of parchment through him.
C: True. Ughhh how much longer must we endure this torture?
A: Ooo hard word… Just ten more minutes… Why are you asking us though? Don't you have a watch?
L: She does but she couldn't find it this morning. If you hadn't decided to sleep till the beginning of the breakfast you would have noticed this.
A: Hey! I need my sleep!
C: She's got a point there, Lils. She could do with more beauty sleep. Lily read this and almost laughed out loud before passing it to Adara.
A: I resent that!
C: Sure you do, because it's the truth.
A; it is not!
L: Arguing won't make your point, Adara. You might as well admit you need your beauty sleep.
A: Whatever.
Just then the ball rang shrilly signaling the end of class. Lilly stood up and started to gather up her stuff. When she turned to pick up the note, it wasn't on her desk anymore.
"Hmm… What's this?" said a voice Lily did not want to hear any where near her.
"Give it back, Potter."
"What's so important about this measly sheet of parchment, Evans? Something written on it you don't want me to read?"
"Give it back, Potter." Said Lily with a dangerous note in her voice.
" 'McGonagall would kill us if we got caught." James raised an eyebrow but continued reading to Lily's disgust. " 'Yeah she would! We'd – " James' reading was cut short by a quick silencing from Lily who grabbed the note from him and walked out of the door without taking the silencing off.
"Ouch, Lils. Was that necessary?" Adara asked joining Lily in the hall.
"Yes it was. That git shouldn't read other people's notes aloud." Lily replied, not looking a bit remorseful.
End Flashback
James Potter, that very name used to make Lily mad, but now… Lily didn't know.
Lily was broken out of her thoughts by the honking of a car horn. The Evans' were stuck in a traffic jam. This happened every year so the Evans had left their house with enough time to spare so Lily wasn't worried and she went back to her thoughts.
In their second year, Lily, Chilali and Adara came up with an idea for a map of Hogwart's. This map had dot's that represented people. In a speech bubble next to the dot. It said what the person was doing and who it was. The map was detailed to the point where it showed the guys and girls dorms of every house. Once a dot entered a dorm, it no longer said what the person was doing. As Adara had said that could be 'way more than I needed to know!' Of course the whole map idea had been Chilali's
On Christmas, Lily had received an Invisibility cloak from her parents. The note had explained that they'd seen it in an antique shop and thought that Lily'd like it because it looked like her Hogwart's cloak, but prettier. Lily however had known what it was.
FLASHBACK
Lily slipped on the cloak and checked in the mirror to make sure that it was indeed and Invisibility cloak. It was early Christmas morning. Around 7 o'clock to be exact, Lilly was also the only one in the tower up. She'd always been an early riser.
A thought suddenly struck Lily and she grinned. Lily quickly pulled the cloak over her head and grabbed her wand and a roll of duck tape on her way out of the dorm room.
Silently, Lily slipped up the stairs and into the boy's dorm room. Lily glanced at the beds, all five of them contained a sleeping boy, but only four were her targets. Lily checked the trunk at the end of the first bed. It read 'Frank Longbottom.' Nope, not a target.
Lily moved on to the next bed.
'Remus Lupin,' a target, finally.
Lily got out her roll of duct tape and started taping him to his bed using her wand to make the tape wrap around his bed. She didn't bother taping him too well, as her real target was a certain James Potter and his partner in crime Sirius Black.
After she had finished, Lily moved onto the next bed that contained a blonde haired kid that could only be Peter Pettigrew. Lily taped him to his bed quickly and moved on. Something about that kid didn't seem right to Lily.
Lily checked the next bed. 'Sirius Black.' She taped him to his bed also before moving on to the last bed containing ' James Potter.' Lily quickly taped him to his bed and grabbed a quill from the desk. She charmed the quill to tickle Potter's nose.
Lily waited for it to tickle him a bit before putting the last part of her plan into action.
Lily pointed her wand at the bed's occupant and muttered a few choice words causing ice cold water to burst from its tip and soak Potter to the bone.
"ARGHHH!" James screamed causing the other four boys including Frank to wake as Lily slipped out. The Marauders (Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter) struggled against their bonds. Frank just sat there and laughed at the famous Marauder's predicament.
Lily laughed to herself a bit as she walked quickly back to her dorm among James', Remus', Sirius' and Peter's shouts.
END FLASHBACK
Lily had gone back to her room after that only to be confronted by her friends, all wanting to know what she'd done.
Of course, they'd found it amusing, but they'd scolded her for not letting them join in the fun as Chilali had just discovered her own invisibility cloak among her presents.
The Marauder's had come down to breakfast that morning pissed off. None of them could figure out who would want to prank the famous (and outrageously good looking, in their minds) Marauders. The girls had had a very hard time keeping a straight face that morning as Frank told several other people of that morning's slight 'mishap,' but they had managed it, well enough that only Alice (the other girl in their dorm) knew who had pranked the Marauders.
From then on the three girls (and sometimes Alice) wrought havoc as they pleased with their three invisibility cloaks. However, Lily, Chilali and Adara didn't spend all of their free time pranking people like the Marauders, but spent a good amount of it doing their homework, studying (something the Marauders never did) and playing their game, as well as their new project…
FLASHBACK
"This semester we will be learning how to turn inanimate objects into animate objects such as cats." Said Professor McGonagall. "Yes, Mr. Black?"
Lily turned her head and saw that Sirius had raised his hand. Lily rolled her eyes. It was not even a minute into class and Sirius was already acting up. This has to be a new record, thought Lily.
"What does this have to do with life after Hogwart's? Why do we need to know this?" asked Sirius leaning back in his chair whit his hands behind his head and a smirk on his face.
"Because, Mr. Black, one day someone in this room may want to do this." With that Professor McGonagall transformed into a tabby cat with spectacle markings around its eyes with a slight pop. After walking around the classroom, she changed back with another slight pop. "And that, Mr. Black, is the reason why we are learning this. Becoming an animagi, I should warn you, takes years of hard work and dedication. Even then not everyone can accomplish becoming an Animagi. In fact there are only eleven people registered with the ministry. I should also warn you that becoming an animagi without registering is a crime punishable by ten years in Azcaban." McGonagall sent a piercing glare towards each and every one of her students. "Now, if there are no more questions, I'll go back to the lesson."
McGonagall hadn't been talking for more than five minutes when Lily, Chilali and Adara began talking (or rather sending notes) through their linked bracelets.
A: That looks really cool. I wish we could become Animagi.
C: I wonder if we could and register with the Ministry. Azcaban doesn't sound fun.
L: I bet Dumbledore could help us with that if we ask.
A: Let's ask him after Dinner.
C: Great! What type of animal do you want to be?
L: I don't know but I'll bet you'll be a bird, Chila.
A: I agree with Lils, Chila, but I think that Lily will be a tiger or fox.
C: Cool, I'd be able to fly! I agree with Adara, Lils, and 'dara you have to be some sort of cat.
A: Okay… whatever you think, Chila.
L: I see tiger, but why fox, and yes, Adara, you'll probably be a type of cat.
C: Fox Smart/witty! Duh, Lils!
A: I wanted to be a panther! That's not fair!
L: Uhh… Adara…
A: What!
L: Panthers are in the same family as cats.
A: Oh…
C: Yup, Adara's a blonde.
A: and…
L: She's blaming your cluelessness on your hair, Adara.
C: Basically, I called you a dumb blonde.
A: Hey! That's not nice! Either of you!
C: I'd say I was sorry but…
The bell rang and the three friends quickly packed up before leaving the classroom with Adara trying to smack Chilali and Lily just grinning as she watched.
"Can you hurry up, Lils?" whined Adara. The three friends were at dinner and Adara was impatient to talk to Dumbledore about their project.
"I'm done. Let's go." Said Lily grudgingly as she set down her fork and got up. Adara and Chilali bounced out of their seats and almost ran out of the hall. Dumbledore hadn't come down to the Hall for dinner that evening but they knew he was in his office as they had sent him an owl at lunch requesting to speak with him after dinner and received his acceptance note with the password.
Lily, Chilali, and Adara hurried down the halls not stopping to talk to Nearly Headless Nick or any of the other beings they passed, alive or… well… not.
"Lemon Drop." Said Lily to the gargoyles, which immediately sprang apart to reveal a spiral staircase.
They climbed the staircase and entered the office, as the door was open. Lily glanced around the room and noticed that there were many gidgets and gadgets around the room as well as many portraits on the walls. A beautiful red and gold phoenix sat on a gold perch near a mahogany desk which the headmaster himself sat behind in a large plush chair.
"Hello, Miss Evans, Miss Bledow, Miss Tama." Said a smiling Dumbledore nodding to each of them in turn. "What can I do for you this evening?"
"Well… er… We were wondering if it were possible if we could learn how to become animagi and be registered with the ministry." Said Adara.
"I'm sorry. I seem to have gone temporarily deaf. What were you saying?" Dumbledore smiled at them as he said this, eyes twinkling behind their spectacles.
"What she was saying was that, hypothetically speaking, if someone were… er… to want to become a registered animagus if… er… well, they could." Said Chilali.
"Well, hypothetically, if they were to ask, I'd have to discourage them from attempting it." Said Dumbledore eyes twinkling more if it were even possible.
"So you're saying that it would be okay, as long as you don't know about it?" asked Lily.
"I seem to have gone temporarily deaf, again. Would you like a lemon drop on you way out?"
The three girls declined the headmaster's offer and walked out of the office grinning. The headmaster hadn't told them yes, but he hadn't told them no either. He had just said that he couldn't know about it, in a very round about way.
END FLASHBACK
That had been the beginning of two years of hard work for the trio. However, the three girls didn't mind at all the result had been very rewarding. Lily had been able to take walks at midnight that summer because being an animagus didn't use a type of magic that the Ministry checked for. That had been fun, thought Lily smiling to herself.
Their predictions about one another's forms had been correct. Chilali became a black eagle with violet eyes and Adara had become a panther with blue eyes. Lily had proven one prediction true, the fox. However, lily had a second form, which in itself was unusual as many didn't even have one. Her second form was a mind boggler to her and her friends though. They couldn't figure out why on earth Lily was a doe.
Third year… well.. The highlights had been 'Project A' as the three friends called it, right before they left Hogwart's for the summer. Of course there were the semiannual screaming and hexing matches between Lily and James, but those were almost normal. One though stood out from the rest.
As the results of that match, James had walked around school for the next two weeks with hot pink hair and unable to say anything bad about anyone, including the Slytherins, which proved to be tough for James to handle. Lily had escaped physically unhurt, but her pride had been hurt. Whose pride wouldn't be hurt when the person that you hate the most (and everyone knows it) gets down on his knees in front of the whole school and asks you out? Yes, that had been very embarrassing for Lily, on the other hand, James seemed to have enjoyed it. Lily had been so embarrassed and angry that she'd yelled at him that she wouldn't go out with him 'not even if hell froze over' or something along those lines and hexed him before storming out of the Great hall. Other than that, third year had been somewhat... normal.
4th year… now that had been a fun year, thought Lily. Well… some of it had been a bit scary like when they first met that werewolf…
FLASHBACK
Lily, Chilali and Adara were exploring Hogwart's in their animagus forms under the full moon. Adara, being a pureblood, had been reluctant to go outside at night during the full moon. That was until Lily had reminded her that as long as they stayed in their animagus forms, they'd be safe and that it'd been her idea.
At ten o'clock that night the three took the passage behind the statue of Godric Gryffindor out into the Forbidden Forest. The three transformed and set off with Adara (in her panther form) chasing squirrels occasionally.
Eventually, the odd trio of a panther, bird and fox made their way into Hogsmeade near the Shrieking Shack. Lily, the fox, stopped suddenly while the other two kept walking. Adara and Chilali stopped a few feet away and looked back at Lily quizzically. Lily sniffed around the Shrieking Shack.
Another unearthly howl filled the air, startling Lily so much that her tail puffed up and she jumped about two feet into the air. If panthers and birds could laugh, Lily would have bet anything that the odd pair were. Lily glared at them as best as she could and motioned them over. Lily paused at the door to tell the others that she wanted to go in. Chilali and Adara looked at her quizzically again, but Adara stood up on her hind legs, upsetting Chilali who was perched on her shoulder in the process, to open the door.
Lily almost immediately regretted her decision when the door was opened to reveal a nearly full-grown werewolf. Lily almost ran off, but Adara was behind her preventing her escape. Lily gathered up her courage and walked straight up to the werewolf. The werewolf whined and bit itself on the paw making Lily's heart break for it. Lily nudged it with her nose. The werewolf looked at her and whined again. Lily curled up in a corner as her friends tried to get the werewolf to stop biting itself to think. Lily couldn't come up with a plan, but she got up and went to help her friends.
The three finally got the werewolf to concentrate on Chilali close to 3 in the morning. Chilali was starting to get exhausted from flying out of the werewolf's reach continuously. Luckily for her, the werewolf suddenly stopped trying to get Chilali and whined. The trio looked at it then out of the window. The sun was beginning to rise. The werewolf whined again and trotted over to the door to paw at the handle. Lily understood; it didn't want them to see it transform. Lily felt sorry for it and whoever had to go through that transformation every month. Lily nudged Adara who had Chilali perched on her shoulder once more and cocked her head towards the door signaling that they should leave. Adara bobbed her head and headed towards the door. Lily walked over to the werewolf and looked into its eyes. She wanted to tell it that it was all right she understood, but she couldn't. With that, the trio left for Hogwart's.
END FLASHBACK
For the next 2 years, they had gone to the Shrieking Shack every full moon they could, leaving and arriving while the werewolf was in his werewolf form.
During the second year, a stag, a shaggy dog, and a rat had appeared. After that the girls hadn't come as often. However, some times when they did come, the werewolf wasn't in the shack. This bugged Lily as the werewolf could bite someone if let out of the shack.
Fifth year had been fairly normal: pranking the Marauders (and laughing at them trying to figure out who kept pranking them), studying for O.W.Ls, playing 'Witches Tag', animagus adventures, and for Lily, telling James to bug off, get a life, and that she'd rather go out with the Giant Squid than him.
"Lily, we're here." Said Lily's mom.
Lily nodded and opened the car door. Her dad already had her trunk and owl cage out of the trunk of the car and on a waiting trolley.
"Bye Mum. Bye Dad" said Lily as she hugged each of them in turn.
"Bye, Lily, remember to write." Her mom had tears in her eyes as she said this, but Lily nodded. She always wrote them even when Petunia had been a biatch and sent all the owls away without letting them deliver the letters.
"Bye, Lily." Said her dad and mum together waving as she walked through the busy platform towards the barrier that lead to platform 9 ¾.
Lily waved as she casually leaned against the barrier and fell through as a crowd of muggles walked past.
Lily was greeted with a loud shout of "Lils!" and two huge hugs before she had gotten 3/4s of the way to the train.
"Hey guys! Have you found a compartment?" asked Lily as she hugged her two best friends back.
"Yup!" said Adara. "Come on. Let's go put down your stuff then we can talk."
Thanks to all my reviewers and i'll try to write the rest soon...
