Chapter 10
Lily walked down the staircase heading toward the Great Hall for an early breakfast. She couldn't believe this was the beginning of the fourth day she'd been here at Hogwarts. She was letting Kristi sleep, since it was Saturday and she always slept in on Saturday's. Lily walked inside the Great Hall, which was practically empty except for a few select students. She sat down at her old house table, which only had three people sitting at it besides her, and buttered herself a piece of toast.
She looked up at the enchanted ceiling that portrayed the sky outside, to see dreary gray with puffy gray rain clouds that looked ready to burst. She sighed and finished the last of her toast before getting ready to stand up and go outside. She had planned to visit Hagrid today considering she hadn't seen him in five years. If she could have called anyone her friend when she was at Hogwarts, it would have been him.
As she was getting up a young girl appeared beside her. "Y-your Lily Evans, Gryffindor's former prefect, and former Head Girl?"
Lily looked slightly confused. "Uh yea, that would be me." 'Who the hell is this kid?' She asked herself staring at the slightly shorter girl.
The girl beamed and stuck out a hand for Lily to shake. "Hello, I'm Dora Gilbert."
Lily looked at the child with a funny expression, letting her shake her hand vigorously. "Uh hi."
Finally Lily withdrew her hand away from the girl and raised an eyebrow. "So uh... What do you want?" She asked, not exactly sure what this girl, Dora, wanted with her.
Dora seemed to blush and looked away from Lily who still had her eyebrow posed in an arch. "Well, I-I've heard about you b-before."
Lily crossed her arms and sat back down, Dora followed her example and sat down beside of her. "Really?"
Dora nodded her head. "Yes. You were one of the best Head Girl's ever known and personally my favorite."
"Uh huh." Lily said a bit unnerved by Dora exuberance with her.
"Y-yea you're like my role model or something." Dora grinned. "I've heard so many stories about you-"
Lily sighed. "Stories? You really shouldn't believe everything you hear."
Dora didn't look in the slightest taken aback. "These were from the teachers and some sixth years who were in first year when you were Head Girl, like my sister."
"What year exactly are you in?"
"Fourth. I hope I get made prefect so I can follow in your footsteps and-"
Lily tuned the girl out and took in her appearance for the first time. Bushy brown hair, and a little to thin with baggy clothes and large glasses that enlarged her brown eyes, making her look like a bug. She slightly wondered if Dora made herself look like this because Lily was like this when she was at school. It wouldn't surprise her, considering how much this girl was ranting and ravening about how wonderful she was. In her honest opinion Lily thought this girl was a bit of a teachers pet, which didn't need to follow in her footsteps. 'Unless of course she wants her life to be a living hell.'
"Look kid I really got go." Lily interrupted her standing up. "See ya around."
Lily quickly walked out of the Great Hall and out the front doors letting the cool crisp air whip at her face. She pulled her jacket closer to her, as she walked across the grounds toward the gamekeepers little house. She rapt loudly against the door, hoping he wasn't out or asleep. Luckily for her he was neither of them things. (Ok I am not going to attempt to get his accent right, because if I do it will be even worse then him talking without it, so you're just going to have to work with me on this, k?)
Hagrid swung the door open and looked down at Lily and immediately recognized her. "Lily come in, come in." He said, moving to allow her entrance inside.
"Hello Hagrid." Lily said, welcoming the warmth coming from the fire.
"It's good to see ya Lily, five long years is quite a long time." He told her, while he got a kettle and started making them tea.
Lily smiled slightly. "Yea, five years is a bit long." She commented.
After a couple of minutes, with only the sound of Hagrid fixing the tea, Lily took off hr jacket and draped it over the back of the chair. Hagrid set her tea in front of her and set down in the chair across from her.
"So where ya been keeping your self?"
Lily smiled. "I left for America after I got home my last year. I went to Hawaii and I've been there ever since." She told him.
"Aye, what about your parents? Didn't they try to stop ya?" He questioned.
Lily shook her head. "No, I would be turning eighteen soon anyway. Besides they wanted me as gone about as bad as I wanted to leave." She explained.
"Yea, ya sound American too."
Lily laughed. "One of my friends helped me to cover it up. It was a bit hard at first, but I succeeded."
Lily could detect a smile through his back beard. "That sounds like you. Always able to do anything you put you're mind too." He said. He knew all about her parents and sister and how they didn't exactly get along with Lily, he was the only one who knew too. Lily had told him when she was in her fourth year, when her parents had first started to show dislike toward her.
"Yea well I've done a lot of things since I left England." She mumbled. "Anyways I should probable go, if my friend wakes up and decides to come look for me, I fear she'll get lost and not be able to find her way back." She joked.
"I'll see you later Hagrid." Lily said and walked out the door, making her way back toward the castle, though she had no intention of going back up to the commons room.
Lily walked up the stairs, not heading any particular direction just wondering around. She actually had no idea what she was going to do and was quite bored. As she continued to walk, she heard footsteps following her. Lily raised an eyebrow and turned a corner, waiting for the person who was following her. She sunk back into the shadows, as the person got closer.
Lily was almost surprised to see Crystal Johnson turn the corner looking a little confused. Lily rolled her eyes and stepped out of the shadows.
"Why are you following me?" She asked her voice wiped of all emotion.
Crystal spun around and looked a bit startled, but then quickly glared at the red head. "Evans, who said I was following you? Do you think just because you come back here changed and in a size three that you're actually important enough for someone to waste their time following you? Let alone me?" She asked haughtily.
Lily smirked and crossed her arms across her chest. "If that's true then why were you following me? Because if I remember correctly there's really no reason for anyone to be in this corridor, especially you." She questioned again.
Crystal looked dumbstruck for a moment before she smirked as well, a smirk Lily knew all too well. "If that's so then why were you here?"
Lily arched her eyebrow. "I was merely looking around to get a feel of things again. Now what's your excuse?"
Crystal glared at Lily. "Listen Evans-"
"What no insults?"
Crystal clenched her fist in anger. "Shut up and let me talk you dumb bitch!" She snapped. Lily schooled her expression, and glared coldly at the dark haired woman in front of her.
"Just because you come here and you're able to turn everybody's head, doesn't mean your anything special. You're still just a little mudblooded nothing! That's all you're ever be is nothing! No one will ever love you, as we all saw in sixth year. You remember don't you Evans?" She asked, her voice turning sickly pleasant.
Lily's eyes narrowed dangerously, her eyebrow still posed in a high arch. "Shut the fuck up Johnson." She said, her voice dripping with cold ice.
Crystal smiled. "What's the matter Evans? I touch a soft spot?"
When Lily didn't answer it caused Crystal's eyes to twinkle with delight. "I still get a kick out of thinking about sixth year. How you looked at the dance, how-"
Lily crossed the space between her and Crystal in two quick strides and shoved her forcefully against the wall. She slammed one fist against the wall right beside of Crystal head.
"What the hell do you think you're doing you crazy bitch?" Crystal exclaimed trying to move away from Lily, who only shoved her back against the wall.
Lily's emerald eyes were blazing with cold fury. "Shut the fuck up." Lily snapped.
Crystal was getting ready to protest, but one look at Lily stopped her. "Johnson I'm warning you right now, don't ever bring that up again. If you do and I hear you, or about it you will pay dearly for it. You may not think I've changed all that much, but trust me I have. I won't hesitate to snap you're neck in a second."
Crystal's pressed her lips together tightly, glaring at the red head. "You wouldn't." She sneered.
"If you think I'm bluffing then go ahead do it, maybe then when you're six feet under you'll realize that I wasn't joking around when I said I would." Lily told her. "Oh and just for the record it's a size two."
Lily pushed Crystal away from her and took a step back, ready to turn and leave when the other woman said something that made Lily laugh coldly, finding it amusing.
"Stay away from James." Crystal warned her.
Lily raised an eyebrow and smirked. "James Potter?" Lily questioned.
"Johnson are you... jealous? Or maybe you're afraid that now that I'm here you'll actually have competition and you'll lose." Lily said amused that she would actually think she would go after James Potter.
When Lily got no remark she smirked her eyes opening wide and dazzling insanely. "Johnson, Johnson, Johnson why would I ever want someone like Potter. He's arrogant, thinks he's god's gift to women, and is dating you." She said the last part with disgust. "And that's only starters."
"It doesn't matter you'd never have a chance with him." Crystal sneered.
Lily raised an eyebrow and smirked even colder. "If I would never have a chance with him, why are you telling me to stay away from him? Honestly why would I ever want to break up such a perfect couple, who fit with each other so well." She asked sarcastically.
"Both of you are arrogant, have ego's larger the universe. Which brings me to the 1,000$ question... How do you two fit in the same room?" Sarcasm dripped thickly from her words.
"I'm warning you, stay away-"
"From James." Lily finished for her, smirking. "I'll try, but you know I never really was good with listening to warnings."
With that said Lily turned on her heel and began walking back to the common room, leaving a very angry woman alone in the midst of the hallway.
(10 P.M. that night- Lily's dorm room)
Lily sat on her bed waiting for Kristi to get out of the bathroom, so they could go dancing at the local club in Hogsmeade that was hidden from students, so only nineteen year olds and up could be granted entrance. Lily was wearing comfortable form fitting – not skin tight tough- black stretch pants and a tight black tank top. Her hair hung in dark red loose silky curls.
Kristi emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later finally ready to go. Lily stood up and looked Kristi's outfit over. She was wearing red cargo pants and a black halter-top that showed off a bit of her toned abs. Her hair was – like always almost- parted to the side, perfectly straight and flaring outward.
Lily smiled. "Ready to go?"
Kristi smiled back. "You know it."
With that said Lily grabbed hers and Kristi's jacket and walked out of the dorm room with Kristi behind her. Lily wasn't at all surprised to see no ex-Gryffindor's occupying their personal common room. She would bet anything they were out somewhere, probable the club like many other adults from her year.
"You reckon Crystal Johnson's going to be there?" Kristi asked. She hadn't gotten to personally meet her yet, and from what she heard about her didn't exactly want to.
Lily frowned. "Probably."
Kristi put on a fake cheery voice. "Well the more the merrier."
Lily snorted and didn't say anything to that. A couple minutes of silence past when Kristi brought up a question she was dying to know.
"You think Mr. Black is going to be there?" She asked a sly smirk on her face.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Two to one."
The red head glanced at her friend and then back again. She had told her about her encounter with Crystal once she had gotten back to their dorm. Kristi had found it absolutely ecstatic that Crystal was jealous of Lily and couldn't stop laughing, much to Lily's amusement.
"Kristi I've been thinking." She said, her voice dead serious.
Kristi glanced at Lily questioningly. "Really? Listen if this is about me screwing with Sirius then you might as well just stop-"
"Actually Kristi I think it's a brilliant plan as long as you don't fall for him." Lily interrupted Kristi.
Lily could barely keep the smirk off her face when Kristi almost tripped over her own feet and pulled them both to a stop staring at Lily shocked by her words.
"W-What? Did I just hear you correctly? You think it's a brilliant idea?" Kristi stuttered. Lily smirked and nodded her head. "But just this morning you wore ranting and raving about how much I shouldn't do it and so on and so on."
Lily smirked and hooked her arm with Kristi's and began to walk. "Well Kristi I've been thinking and I've come up with a plan."
Kristi looked at Lily a little smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Go on, I'm listening." She beckoned.
"Well I was thinking and..."
(Hogsmeade)
Kristi and Lily walked down the steps that led to what appeared to the student eyes as a large old storage cellar, while it was actually the entrance to the club. Kristi glanced around skeptically, being careful not to miss a step and fall. She frowned at the collection of dust and cobwebs and wondered why they didn't tidy it up a bit.
"Shit!" Kristi heard Lily cruse.
"Watch the last step, it's lower then the rest." Lily warned as she walked across the room where a narrow door stood with two red candles on each side of it against the wall.
Kristi walked up behind Lily and looked at the door and then at Lily and then back again. "Lily are you sure we're in the right place?"
Lily threw her a look. "Of course." She snapped and added softly under her breath, "at lest I'm pretty sure."
Lily took hold of the cold silver doorknob and twisted it. She slowly opened it and was greeted by loud music basting from somewhere in the room.
"Let the fun begin."
