CHAPTER 7

AS January came Lilly was more enthusiastic about her next year then ever. Jessica and she practiced until Lilly couldn't keep her eyes open. Her father had sent her a book that Viktor Krum wrote, he was an Old friend of her Aunt Hermione it was called "Quidditch from A to Z" Lilly learned so much just in a few short weeks, she was so blind to everything else, that she didn't see the trouble that lay ahead.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle Professor Browning mixed the potion in his office.

He knew what he had to do. Protect Lilly Potter at all costs. The prophecy must be fulfilled. No one would stand in the way. He would fulfill his duty, no matter what it cost him, even if it meant giving his life to the cause, just like his great grandfather did, anything to protect the Potter family line.

The next day Lilly was heading to potions class, when suddenly her fathers would popped into her head.

"Use it wisely. Since you are a Potter you will need it."

She had written her father several letters and asked him what he meant by it. But, he always side stepped the question. Lilly was beginning to think something was up.

After potions class Lilly would find out some answers. Something was not right at Hogwarts and she was determined to find out what!

After potions Lilly headed back to her Dormitory. As she climbed the stairs she noticed something she has never seen before. It was a picture of her dad, Aunt Hermione, and Uncle Ron. They had to have been in their first year. They looked so young. Not one of them said anything, like most pictures do; they just stood a smiled at Lilly as if they had a secret. Just before Lilly moved on her 11 year old father winked and nodded at her.

Odd, she thought to her self. I must be on the right track.

She ran the rest of the way up the stairs. She threw open her trunk and dug around until she found her brand new copy of Hogwarts a History that her aunt Hermione gave her for Christmas.

She looked up some information from the time her father attended Hogwarts.

"Lets see. Harry Potter tied the Tri-Wizards tournament with fellow Hogwarts student Cedric Diggory." No, too recent her father was a 4th year then.

I need to go 3 years back. Ah, here we are. Professor Qurriel disappeared. After 1 year of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. The last person to see him alive was "The boy who lived," Harry Potter a 1st year at Hogwarts.

There was something about her fathers name. She flipped through the book. Every time the book said "Harry Potter" it was some what upraised. She wondered if this was just her book. She walked over to Alicia Longbottoms night stand and flipped through her copy of Hogwarts a History and there was nothing different about her father's name. It was just like the rest of the text.

Something odd is going on here, Lilly though to her self as she lay out across her bed. She opened the front flap and remembered her Aunt Hermione had written a note to her before she gave her the book.

Lilly,

I hope this book is useful to you during your time at Hogwarts. It may Reveal the answers to your questions.

Love,

Aunt Hermione

Why was the word "reveal" underlined?

As if a bolt of lighting hit her. She jumped from her bed and ran to the library.

She would stay there all night if she had too.

CHAPTER 8

Lilly ran to the library, nearly knocking over a 7th year Hufflepuff in the process.

"Sorry" Lilly yelled, though she never did slow her pace.

Lilly ran into the library. She was out of breath, her heart felt like it was going to explode. She didn't care. She was on a mission.

"Reveal, Reveal Reveal." That word kept playing in her head. She had seen something. She knew on some level where to find it.

I have got to find it.

She grabbed about 15 different books. She would find it. She was determined.

2 Hours later, just as she was about to go crazy she read something.

In the book entitled "Odds & Ends Every Witch & Wizard Should Know" By Melinda Warren.

The Book read – Need to find a hidden message? This little doozey should do the trick.

Tap your wand three times and say Aperio verum-I.

She knew it; Her Aunt Hermione had lectured her on the importance of little known spells and how they come in handy.

Unable to hide her enthusiasm Lilly let out a yell of excitement. Other students look up from their books with looks of confusion and some angry looks because she was interrupting their studying.

Lilly wrote down the spell and ran off to her dormitory. She passed Danny and the rest of her friends near the Great Hall they all yelled at her to come back. She waived them off and told them she was busy. She did feel guilty because she had been pretty much ignoring them since they got back from Holiday.

She made a mental note to make sure to spend more time with them once she figured out what was going on around Hogwarts.

As Lilly reached her dormitory she jumped up on her 4 post bed and threw open her Copy of Hogwarts a History. Suddenly she had butterflies in her stomach. Did she really want to do this? She gathered her braveness and tapped her wand three times on the text…

"Lillian Potter, what are you doing up here young lady. You think you can just skip two classes with out so much as consulting your head of house!" Headmistress Monagall Yelled "Professor Botts will be hearing about this. 20 points from Gryffindor, for not showing for class. Now get to Defense Against the Dark Arts! Do something like this again you it will be one month detention."

The headmistress sighed. Just like her father. She thought to her self.

Lilly Ran from her room. She was stunned. She had never been in trouble before. She could not believe she lost 20 points form Gryffindor. Everyone was going to be so mad at her. She rounded the corner and walked into Defense against the Dark Arts 30 minutes late.

"Ms. Potter thank you for joining us, did you get distracted by the Dragon Tongued Fairies?"

Giggle erupted from the class; Professor Lovegood always said the weirdest things.

"Uh no Professor Lovegood, the Headmistress knows that I am late."

"Alright then let's get back to class and Ms. Potter … I'd like to see you after class.

Lilly turned bright red. She was used to all the whispers about how she was the Boy Who Lived's daughter. What she wasn't used to was being called out in class. What was she getting herself into?

The rest of Defense Against the Dark Arts went by with incident. Lilly had almost forgotten about staying after class. When the class was excused Lilly got up to leave Professor Lovegood called after her. "Lilly, I hope you did not forget about our meeting,"

"Oh, sorry Professor, I guess I did forgot."

"Oh dear, I guess those Dragon Tongued Fairies really got to you, the first sign is memory loss."

"No, really Professor I am fine."

"Alright, if you say so, Lilly, what is the matter, ever since you got back from Holiday you seem different."

"Well Professor now that you ask, I know you used to be friends with my Mum and Dad. Can you tell me what they were like? Can you tell me anything that might be useful?"
