A/N: Here's the next part of Blood. Since, it's been about time I got this up, eh? Anyway the song for today is Dirty White Boy by Foreigner. Which is perfect and is an oldie. So, yeah...just read the story peoples.

Hey, baby, if you're feelin' down
I know what's good for you all day
Are you worried what your friends see
Will it ruin your reputation lovin' me

-Dirty White Boy by Foreigner-

Lily joined her fellow comrades at the Gryffindor table. She sat in her seat, between James and Sirius. Both boys were smiling brightly. From past experiences, Lily took note that that rarely meant a good thing. She wondered what they were up to. Perhaps she should find out. Oh the possibilities!

Lily turned her attention to the sorting, not really paying attention to what was happening around her. Peter was making an airplane out of his napkin, while Sirius and James plotted together. Remus was the only one really paying attention.

Lily's eyes focused over the whole room and landed carefully on the Slytherin table. She made sure her facial expression was well guarded. She looked through the many faces at the table that those marked with ambition were seated. Her eyes collided with another pair of eyes. A pair of grey- blue eyes. Only one person in the all school had those eyes.

Lily Evans was staring into Lucius Malfoy's eyes, from the Gryffindor table. He smirked at her and gave her a wink before turning around to listen to Professor Dumbledore. Lily was blushing and her mouth was gaping.

She heard the last few words of Professor Dumbledore's speech and turned around in time to start eating. As the Marauders made idle conversation, Lily had time to ponder on school, life, and Lucius.

What exactly was he up to, anyway? Lucius Malfoy had never paid much attention to her in her previous four years at Hogwarts. Now all of a sudden, she couldn't get rid of him. Further more, it was only the first day and he was already making her nervous. The question was why? Yes, why indeed?

As the feast came to a close, Lily and James walked while the perfects lead the first years to the common room. Lily and James were walking beside each other. While, Remus and Sirius started chatting. Peter had run ahead, so the other four were at the end of the line when the peace was shattered.

In front of them was a bunch of Slytherin's; who were mainly taunting James and Sirius. Lily looked up and standing there he was. He wasn't actually taunting them, but he seemed to be almost supervising. From what was indeed the question? He met her eyes before turning his attention to his friends.

"Let's go," he said arrogantly before brushing aside James, Sirius and Remus. He walks arrogantly past Lily and his companions muttered, "mudblood" under their breath. Unnoticed to Lily, her fellow companions, and Lucius' companions, Lucius had slipped Lily a note. As the Slytherins walked away, James rolled his eyes while the group of them walked to the Gryffindor common room. Just catching the remaining students going through.

James looked around to see the common room, pretty much empty. Almost all of the students had gone to bed from the busy day. Peter had already gone to bed; Sirius and Remus were following that suit. Which left James and Lily sitting on the couches, by the roaring fire.

James was pulling random things from his robe's pockets. Lily smiled and put her hands in her pockets. She froze when her left hand came across, what felt like a piece of parchment. She held it in her pale hand and opened it. She read the following on the piece of parchment, which was slightly yellowish in color.

Lily Evans,

Meet me at the astronomy tower promptly at midnight tonight. That is only if you want to know why I have a sudden interest in you. That is if you're not afraid, mudblood.

-Lucius Malfoy-


Lily looked at the note and frowned at the last sentence.
