A/N: Sorry this took a while to get out. I only got 7 reviews, from 13 for chapter 7 but I'm glad I have my place on people's favorites lists. I've been on Virtual Hogwarts a lot, so I was a tad distracted. Here is chapter 9!

Lily sat down with a pound of fudge. Okay, so that was a lot of fudge but she got her favorite kind which was peanut butter swirl. It was peanut butter and chocolate swirled around each other, and was really thick and creamy. Once she ate her first bite she was heaven, but the was interrupted by a familiar pitter patter sound. She looked out the window. It was rainy, and it was raining hard. Sure Lily like the rain, but when she was alone it made her scared. She deeply wished she had left a note by now. Back at Hogwarts they were thinking the same thing.

Dylan looked at his watch. 5 minutes until class was over and Lily still wasn't back. Neither was Draco but that didn't bother him as much. He was about to say something when there professor came into the classroom.

"Sorry I took so long." Draco looked at the class, who had obviously been talking rather than doing there homework. Every one was staring at him, and he knew it was because they were paying attention to him. They were all looking a the bruise on his face that hadn't been there at the beginning of class. "Class dismissed." The class left slower than usual, gliding by his desk to get a look at his purple skin.

Brain started talking first on there way to D.A.D.A. "Big bruise." Brian bluntly stated. Dylan looked up at one of the many windows. It was raining really hard now. "

"She's not here." Dylan said not paying the least bit of attention to any one else. They were almost at there classroom.

"What do you mean? Did Lily leave you a note?" Brian asked. Dylan immediately looked at him. He was extremely scared that Lily was hurt and in the rain. Dylan was doing his best to hide his watering eyes.

"If she did don't you think I'd be looking for her? I would've told some one. I would be with her!" Dylan said with a rather scratchy voice. He hurried in through the door avoiding the look of ProfessorPotter. They went to the back of the class room and sat. Harry was looking through all the seats to make sure every one was here. "Mr. Briser would you be kind enough to tell me where Ms. Gr- Lily is?" He looked at the empty seat really to worry.

"No I can't." This obviously surprised Harry with the rest of staring the class. "I don't know where she is." Brian nodded saying that he knew nothing too. "Stay here. I'm going to tell Professor Mcgonagall." The class looked up. They all moaned.

"Again?" Half the class said groaned. Most of them were happy they got to talk again though. Harry basically ran through the corridors until he reached the office. Surprisingly the Professor was standing outside of it.

"Mr. Malfoy has already been here Mr. Potter. Lily does seem to be missing. She wasn't in her dorm and all the unused class rooms are being checked at the moment. I'm really surprised, she seemed to love going to her classed. Now tell me is there any reason she would be avoiding them? You did seem to run rather hastily at breakfast." She said. Harry had no clue if she knew anything.

"Nope. No reasons at all." Harry looked away, sure he had gotten into lots of trouble as a child, but that didn't mean he was a good lier. He walk;ed back to his class room hoping they could get some learning in.

Lily looked out the window now incredibly scared. She was the only one in the store besides the person who ran it, and as far as she could see the only person in Hogsmeade that wasn't a store owner. she wasn't going to ask strangers to take her to Hogwarts. It looked like she was stuck alone in the rain. She was surprised she hadn't moved in an hour. She was normally jumping to move around and run, but this just isn't something she planned. She looked at her watch... D.A.D.A was almost over, and she didn't want to miss lunch.

Ginny looked at Hermione with tears coming down her cheeks. "Okay, I know this might sound a little weird, but who's was the father?" Ginny tried to ask this the nicest way she could, but it wasn't really that kind of question. Hermione started laughing and lightly hit Ginny.

"Ginny, I'm not a slut, It was my boy friends." Hermione didn't particularly want to say his name. The two girls started giggling. It was just a happy moment. Hermione looked at her watch and muttered "I hope they found her." Under her breath. She knew it was almost time for lunch.

"What?" Ginny said looking at her friend. She also looked at her watch. "Oh. You probably want lunch. Well I'm no cook, but I bet I could make something simple. Seeing how we missed all this time I say we have a sleep over!" Ginny said with a huge smile. Hermione couldn't help but feel a load of happiness. She had been afraid Ginny would get mad at her for getting pregnant and not using protection. But Ginny knew it was an accident, and we're not perfect.

"That sounds great. I remember that time I spent the night at your house when all your brothers were gone. He each had a tub of ice cream and over 12 movies. We looked at embarrassing pictures of George and Fred when they were babies, and Ron too. Thanks so much Ginny." The two girls started laughing at those memories.

Okay this was not happening. Lily was determined to get to lunch. The rain hadn't lightened up, it only seemed to get stronger. Lily took one step outside. She was immediately soaked, but beyond all her fear she loved it. Well she loved it until about 10 paces out side of the store A huge crack of thunder sounded. She no longer loved it. Now she was wet, cold, and scared she was going to get hit by lightning. She looked up at the sky. "What did I do to deserve this?" She practically yelled at clouds. She hadn't been wearing the most appropriate things for this weather either. She had been wearing her robe but it had gotten soaked and weighed her down. She had stripped down to only her mini skirt and her white camisole, because everything else had soaked in all the water and made her feel like an elephant. These weren't the best circumstances.

Harry dismissed his class to lunch. It was also time for him to go to lunch but it was getting awful outside. The tree's looked like they were going to fall because of the wind and the rain was pounding down on the roof. He couldn't help but think of Lily outside hurt and scared. Strangely he was not the only one with these thoughts. Dylan looked at Brian. They hadn't talked much after that little talking fiasco and lunch felt odd with out Lily. Dylan slowly got up about 15 minutes after lunch had started. "I'm... going to our dorm." Dylan said. He didn't want Brian to follow him. Harry walked in as Dylan was walking out. Harry turned his head at the site of the boy. He waited a couple of minutes than saw he turned a rather peculiar way to the dorms. Harry thought about when he was in Gryffindor. Nope... he had never turned there. Then he realized something. Dylan was going outside. Harry followed.

Dylan got outside and was soaked to an extent that it was hard to move. About 10 yards away from the school He stripped down to his white under shirt and his pants. He had to seriously think about the pants though. The rain was making them weigh him down, but if other students or teachers saw him in his boxers then he'd be pretty embarrassed. He didn't really mind if Lily did but if other people came looking for him or her... as said before.. Major embarrassment. He trudged through the now very unstable ground and mud. The mud was probably the worst. He was defiantly going to get a howler from his mum if she found out about this.

Hermione looked out the window to see the pounding rain. Hermione and Ginny were enjoying hot chicken noodle soup from a can. To Hermione's surprise she really like it. She looked back at Ginny. "So what's up with you?" Ginny looked up at the sound of Hermione's voice. "Married? Job? What's up?" Ginny slurped up a noodle then started talking.

"Nothing much. Not married. I have a job though. I work as a part time Mediwitch. It's really fun and the hours are flexible." Ginny never thought her life could be summed up into 5 sentences.

"How's Ron?" Hermione had been wanting to know even though she hadn't talked to him sense she got here. Hermione looked down at her empty bowl.

"He's okay. He's an auror. He's married..." Ginny's voice trailed off. Silence filled the room, but only for a few seconds when thunder roared. Hermione let out a little shriek when the power went out. At the same time the girls said a simple yet useful spell. "Lumos!" The both said relieved to see the other's face.

"Even in the magical world we have faulty electricity."

Back at Hogwarts they also had electricity problems, but only for a few seconds seeing they had back up. Also many things were lit with candles so this wasn't a huge problem. Brian slowly got up from the table and headed toward the dorm wanting to talk to Dylan. Only to find his friend wasn't there. This day wasn't wonderful.

Harry opened the wooden door only to see rain and mud for what seemed like miles. He didn't want the children to get hurt. Especially Lily. He would've normally just gone out in the rain like her was 11 and had no fear. But with his adult responsibilities he told Mcgonagal. Mcgonagal told him to stay in the castle.. Harry didn't know what she was going to do.

Lily looked at her watch but couldn't read it with all the water she thought it had probably broken. She lifted her legs higher and higher with every step she took. Every step seemed like a mile as she walked on. Her whole body was covered from mud from the numerous falls she had encountered. She looked straight on to din a blurry figure in her path. At most 10 feet away. She trudged about 5 and met up with the figure.

"Lily?" Even right next to him Lily couldn't tell it was Dylan by his looks, but his voice.

"Ya. Dylan?"

"Yep. How long have you been walking?"

"Not long Lily. Why are you walking in the rain?"

"Wanted lunch. Let's go." Dylan gave her a small hug and started walking towards the castle. She were at most 20 yards away from the school. Dylan had also met some unfortunate falls and was also covered with mud. When they reached the school about 45 minutes later she gladly pushed with all her might. It was locked. Lily started laughing hysterically. Dylan sat her down on the steps while he banged the doors with all his might. Only a few minutes later the door opened with Harry's face at the door. He looked at the boy then at the other person on the stairs. Harry waved Dylan in and Lily stood up and joined. Harry didn't know what to do. Lily was not happy about Harry being there. He smiled at her and she frowned.

"I'm going to lunch." Was all Lily could say to him. She walked off, she walked that much for lunch and as dirty as she was she wanted lunch. When she walked in the room the few people who remained stared at her. Lily looked at herself and saw that she really was all mud. She slowly walked to the Gryffindor table leaving mud tracks behind. She sat down and started eating in complete silence. She ate very fast and within 15 minutes she was back up again to find Harry and Dylan in the same spot.

"Go tell who ever you told that I'm here. I'm going to the Hospital wing to see if I have hypothermia." Lily turned around with a unemotional look on her face. She walked off to find Madam Pomfrey waiting for her.

"Oh dear! Please hurry in honey! You look like you were buried alive and dug your self up." Madam Pomfrey quickly rushed her a sink. She told Lily to put her hair in it, so Madam Pomfrey could get at least some dirt off of her. Of course she could've easily used a spell, but her mind was racing while Lily calmly did as she said. Lily wrapped her head in a towel and sat down.

"I think I'm fine." Lily was shivering. Madam Pomfrey put a warming spell on her and told her to relax.

Hermione had just gotten off the phone. "I have to go." Ginny looked at her with a little shock on her face. "I'm sorry you can come too. Lily's in the hospital wing." Ginny tilted her head. "My daughter, at Hogwarts." Hermione quickly grabbed some flu powder. "Come if you want. Hogwart's Hospital Wing!" Hermione said and stepped into the green flames. She arrived in the wing, to find her daughter on a bad with a book. Hermione coughed rather loud. Lily was startled and quickly put down her book. She looked around the room and saw her mom.

"Oh great." Lily mumbled under her breath.

"Lily?" Lily nodded. "What in the world were you thinking? Skipping school, being outside? WALKING TO HOGWARTS!" Hermione was going straight into mother mode.

"Didn't want to see dad or Draco. I was outside to some back to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade. I walked here because that seemed to be the best transportation. I wanted lunch." Lily was pretty ticked off at everyone now. Lily picked up her book and started back reading. This obviously put a shock on Hermione's face. Only last summer had they been the bast of friends and now they were ignoring one another.

Lily stood up. "If anyones asks I'm going to the Gryffindor tower, and don't try to follow me. You left the wizarding world and probably all your memories with it. " Lily turned around. The was no feeling in her voice. She bluntly stated what was on her mind and got on with her life. She did as she said she would and walked in the common room. They all started at her as she walked straight forward into the girl's dormitory's. Dylan who had arrived in the common room sometimes earlier looked at Brian. Brian looked back. Everyone was confused.
