CHAPTER 31

Lilly was in the common room for hours, she had so much homework to catch up on, she did after all miss an entire week of school. Her friends decided to head off to bed at about midnight. They asked Lilly if she was coming.

"No, I want to get a little more homework before I head to bed. I promise not to be too much longer."

Lilly returned to her school work, before she knew it she had fallen asleep. She started to have that same dream again; the one of her and Andrew defeating the new Dark Lord, when she was woke by something pecking her. When she finally opened her eyes she noticed the owl was carrying something. She took the letter from the owl and opened it.

Dear Lilly,

So you figured out my secret, I shouldn't have underestimated you, I wanted to you learn to trust the Professor before you trusted me. I guess my plan back fired. So now you know why "the Professor" was always around when you were in trouble, I agree to do the potion lessons without the "Professor," but you must understand why no one else, not even the Headmistress or your friends can not know that I am here. Promise me Lilly. In the morning, before Breakfast will you meet me in "the Professors" office, there is something I would like to give you.

AD

P.S. Get some sleep, we will talk in the morning.

Lilly quickly grabbed some extra parchment and took her quill out and she quickly wrote Andrew back.

Andrew,

I Promise, I will see you in the morning, you get some sleep too.

She sent the letter off with the owl. Then she headed up to bed. I hope I know what I am getting my self into, she said to herself as she climbed into bed.

CHAPTER 32

Lilly fell into a deep sleep, and for the first time since she learned of Andrew she didn't dream. Before she knew Annie was waking her up.

"Lil, it is getting late, if you do not wake up you will miss breakfast."

Just then Lilly remembered that she was supposed to meet Andrew in the Professors office. She jumped out of bed and threw she school clothes on and ran all the way to the Professors office.

When she reached the door, she took a few deep breaths she did not want to seem out of breath when she walked into the office. Once she caught her breath she softly knocked on the door.

"You may enter." A voice said.

Professor… I mean Andrew?" Lilly looked around but did not see him.

"I am in the back Lilly, come back here please."

Lilly walked behind a wall dividing the Professors office from his personal space. When she rounded the corner, she saw Andrew, not Professor Browning, she lost her breath; she did not expect to see Andrew again so soon.

"I am sorry Lilly, I did not mean to startle you, but I thought you deserved to see me, the real me, not just the Professor."

"No, it's ok, really. I am glad it is you." Lilly Smiled. "Andrew, you said you have something for me?"

"Ah, yes as a matter of fact I do," He handed Lilly a book.

"What is it?"

It is a two way book, a way for us to communicate."

Lilly dropped the book and slowly moved away from Andrew. "I am sorry, I can't take this." Lilly said in a terrified voice.

"Lilly what's the matter? Did I do something wrong?" Andrew said

Lilly just stood there with a far away look in her eye.

"I am sorry Andrew; it is just that my mother was tricked by Voldemort with his Diary when he was a Hogwarts student. It's complicated I can't explain. I am sorry I can't take it. I will not let then same thing happen to me." Lilly started sobbing. "I am sorry I must go." And with that Lilly turned and ran.

She did not get more then three steps before and arm reached out and grabbed her by the waist.

"Lilly please wait, here me out." Andrew pleaded. His eyes showed real concern.

"I can't it is happening all over again. I can't let evil win. I do not even know you Andrew."

"That's why I want to get to know you." He said, and then he blushed.

"I am sorry Andrew, my mother almost died, if it wasn't for my father she would have died when she was a first year just like me, and then Voldemort would have never been defeated." Lilly started to sob softly again.

Andrew put his finger under her chin and tilted her face up, so she was looking him in the eye. "Lilly, we are both on the same side, do you really think I would ever do anything to hurt you."
