Ok, sorry for the huge wait for the next chapter. I've been really busy and had writer's block. But as I have said many times, I'm not getting anymore reviews. Now on to the story.

The Letter

Lily's dad was right. After a few weeks, the rumor was gone. Lily and Ian still weren't seen together. It was late November when Lily was walking down the hallway when she saw Elizabeth come out of a room. She ran off before Lily could catch her. Lily kept on walking. Down the next corridor, Lily found a piece of paper on the ground. She picked it up a started to read.

Dear Mum,

They know that someone is the descendant of Voldemort. I have not told anyone. I don't think they suspect me. I will write soon.

Sincerely,

Your daughter.

Lily finished reading it. Someone had written their mum about being the descendant of Voldemort. If only they had signed their name. Well, at least Lily knew it was a girl. But who was the "they" she was talking about. Lily decided to talk about it with the rest of her friends.

" Hey guys, look at what I found in the hallway." Lily said when she arrived at the common room.

" What is it?" Janet asked.

" It's a note from the Voldemort person." James said.

" Yea, and it's a girl." Lily said, smiling.

" How do you know that?" Elizabeth asked.

" Can't you see how it's signed?" Janet said. " It says ' Your daughter'. "

" Oh, I see. Well, I still have homework to finish so I'm heading off to the library." Elizabeth replied, getting up from her chair.

" Ok, see you later." Janet said. " So, who do you think it is now, Lily? I mean, you thought it was Draken, but now its a girl."

" I don't know. Probably a Slytherin girl." Lily said, yawning. " I'm going off to bed."

" I should go too, but I still have homework to finish." Janet replied. " Night"

The next morning, there was a letter for Lily.

Dear Lily,

I really want to talk. Come to the East Tower at midnight tonight.

Love,

Ian

Lily folded it up. Then Elizabeth sat down next to her.

" A letter, huh? I lost mine yesterday. Must have dropped it. It was from my mum." Elizabeth said.

" Who is your mother?" Lily asked.

" Alexandria Shaw. She was a Gryffendor girl gone bad. After school she went and became a Death Eater. When she found out she was pregnant with me, she ran away until You-Know-Who was killed. That's why she didn't send me right away to Hogwarts for my first year." Elizabeth said.

" Who was your dad?" Lily asked.

" My mum never told me. I'm also an only child." Elizabeth replied.

" I see. Well, I better get to my classes." Lily said.

That night, Lily ran up to the tower to meet Ian. She hadn't spoken to hi for weeks.

" Your here on time. Impressive." Ian joked.

" Hey, it's hard to get up here." Lily said. " Do you really think it's good that we tell everyone that we've been dating for about 7 months? I would think everyone would faint."

" I hate living in the dark and in secrets, just like my dad did." Ian replied. " So, do you have a dress already?"

" Of course I do." Lily replied.

" What color is it?" Ian asked.

" I don't think I'm going to tell you." Lily said, laughing. Then they heard a noise.

" It sounds like footsteps." Ian whispered. " Let's get out of here. See you tomorrow."

Lily rushed down the stairs after Ian, then separated at the Marble Staircase. She ran all the way down to the portriat of the Fat Lady.

" Password!" the Fat Lady said.

" Hyppogryph." Lily said. ( A.N. excuse my spelling. ) It swung open.

The next morning, when Lily went to go get the letter she had found, she could not find it. Someone had taken it. She shrugged it off and went downstairs for breakfast.

Once again, srry for the huge wait and for it being so short. The next chapter is on the Christmas Ball so it will be very long. Hope you liked this chapter. Yes, it was very sucky!!!! HPgirl7
