"If you gain their trust, you will be able to kill them."

After the words appeared in her mind, Lorraine's eyes shot open. She sat up, and found herself staring at the red curtains again. Having no memory of her dream, or the message that appeared after it, she sprung out of bed and over to the bathroom. After getting ready for class, she walked out of her dormitory and into the common room.

It was suddenly all clear to her. In order to kill them, she had to become their friend. Now the only hard part was to get them to notice her… Which was almost as hard as the previous plan.

Becoming friends with the Marauders would be impossible, but maybe she could gain Lily's friendship. She could see that Lily was starting to be friends with the Marauders and be able to talk to James Potter without yelling, so if she was Lily's friend, then when Lily became their friend, she would too. It was brilliant… but still very hard.

Lorraine walked to the Great Hall. She stood by the door, staring at the Gryffindor table. Lily Evans was sitting with another girl, whose name was Alexis Kane. Alexis was eating her breakfast, not talking, and Lily seemed bored. Perfect luck she had today. Lorraine took a deep breath and walked across the Great Hall. She stood by the Lily. "Er… Can I sit here?"

Lily looked up at Lorraine. "Sure."

"My name's Lorraine." She said, sitting down, a smile on her face now.

"I'm Lily."

Was it really this easy? Was all she had to do just go up to her and say Hi? It couldn't possibly be that easy. No, it couldn't be.

Lorraine ate breakfast quietly. When she was done, she looked up at Lily and asked, "Would you consider me…. Unpopular?"

Lily thought about it for a few seconds then said, "Well you don't really make much an effort to be noticed, do you?"

"Never thought it would work." She laughed.

"You can't always be that scared. You have to learn to take risks." Lily smiled.

"It's been sort of hard for me to do that recently, because of… recent events."

Lily, who had obviously realized that there was some kind of secret involved that she wasn't going to be told, nodded and looked back at her food.

Lorraine stood by her mirror, staring at her reflection. She looked at her straight black hair, tucked behind her ear and reaching down to somewhere between her elbows and her shoulders. She stared into her own brown eyes. She had big eyes. She had never noticed that before.

Lorraine looked down a bit lower, at her lips. They were so plain, so boring. She wore nothing on them; no lipstick, no lip-gloss, no anything. She looked slightly lower, at her neck. It was also so boring. It was not too long, not too short. She wasn't wearing a choker, or a necklace, or any kind of jewelry that goes on your neck.

Her eyes moved down, to look at her shoulders, then her arms. She wasn't fat. She could thank her father for that. Everyday she would have to run down to the deli and getting breakfast, then lunch, then again for dinner. The deli was half a mile away, and getting there and back would be a mile. Her father never let her have any candy. He said that he didn't want to have to pay for dental bills.

Lorraine looked down at her legs. Those weren't fat either. Her knee high socks reached to just below her knees. She had rather dry skin, and wished that the stupid socks would cover her knees.

Her overall appearance just wouldn't do. She would need to change a bit, but not so much that people would notice. She had to aim for a look that was… casual, but not over-casual and with a bit of evil, for the side of her that actually wanted to kill the six people.

Of course, she wouldn't change until she was sure that she was going to meet the Marauders.

Lorraine walked over to her bed and laid down. She smiled slightly. Now all she had to do was get Lily to consider her a friend, and be around when Lily finally accepted the Marauders for who they were.

Lorraine grabbed an inkbottle and a quill. She dipped the quill in the ink and wrote on her hand the words 'Note to Self: Bump into Lily by mistake in the hall, say Sorry and then end up in a conversation.'

I have a new friend,
Her name is Lily.
She's really popular,
And she's really silly.
But the bad news is,
That I'll have to kill her.
I wanna cry,
Well that's not a thriller.

Lorraine rolled over onto her stomach, forcing a smile onto her face. She always thought that she looked ugly when she wasn't smiling, so she tried her best to keep a natural smile glued on her face… though when she was bored, she couldn't smile.

She rolled up her left sleeve and touched the tattoo. It was horrible. A horrible skull… A horrible snake coming out of it.

By the end of the month, Lily would consider Lorraine as her new friend. Since she was rather bored with her other friends, she would be able to call Lorraine her friend. The first day of October was a Saturday, and it was also the first Hogsmeade trip of the year.

Many people went to Hogsmeade to buy things they need. Some went because they were bored of staring at the same four walls of their common room. But some people, usually guys, used Hogsmeade trips as opportunities to ask someone out.

So anyway, Lily and Lorraine were eating breakfast. Lorraine had gotten to thinking about her assignment from Voldemort again. She wasn't really concentrating on her surroundings. Lorraine really didn't want to hurt her new friend. Lily didn't deserve to be killed. She was really, really kind and was never mean to anyone but Potter, who she had a good reason to be mean to.

When Lorraine snapped back into reality, she realized that she had turned her piece of toast into hundreds of crumbs. She sighed, waving her wand and saying "Evanesco!" The crumbs disappeared off of the plate.

"Hey Evans, DeAmico!" came a voice.

Lorraine heard Lily groan, "Potter…"

The two girls turned around to see James Potter and Sirius Black standing behind them. "What do you want?" Lorraine asked.

"Well," James started. "As you must know, today many students in Hogwarts who are in third year or above will go to the village of-"

Lily interrupted him. "No, Potter. I will not go to Hogsmeade with you. I've told you so many times and if you were as smart as you think you are, then you would surely know that by now and give up."

"Well, Evans, for once, you are actually wrong. I came here to tell you that I will not be asking you out today."

"Yeah, sure." She said sarcastically, turning back around.

Lorraine sighed, watching the two boys walk back to Lupin and Pettigrew. After seeing them sit down, she turned back around to her plate and started to pile pancakes onto it. She reached across the table and grabbed a container of maple syrup. She started to squirt it on top of her breakfast.

"Hey, Lorraine. Can I ask you something?" Lily asked.

"What?"

"What… What do you think people would think if I started dating Potter?"

Lorraine had to bite her lip to stop herself from screaming of excitement. Everything was going as planned! Lily was starting to consider dating James! Luckily, biting her lip made her look like she was thinking, so Lily wasn't suspicious. "Well…"

"Well, what?"

"Well, they would definitely be very surprised, and there's no doubt that a few rumors would start, but you wouldn't have to worry because a lot of people don't even believe most rumors. A lot of people would think that you're a cute couple, and those who don't like you or James would probably think mean things but that's not really much of a surprise." She had thought about this much before, so it all came out easily and quickly.

"Oh." Lily, without another word, looked back to her breakfast. Lorraine could tell that she didn't like to talk about it.

Soon, the two would get together, and then, she would be able to gain their trust, and be able to kill her…

Lorraine just hoped she wouldn't get too attached.

A/N:
Does anybody read this? Well, I was going to wait for a review for Chapter 3 until I put this one up, but I was growing impatient, and put it up. Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it! Preview of Chapter 5:

Lorraine's right hand flew to her left arm. "Ouch!"
When she saw Lily and Miranda raise their eyebrows and give her questioning looks, asking if she was okay, Lorraine nodded, quickly saying "Be right back."
She stood up and started to run out of The Three Broomsticks. On the way out, she disappeared.

Remember that more people reviewing means that the chapter will come out quicker! I need comments and things like that to improve the chapter before I put it out!

Bye, bye!
