It had been a few weeks since I had arrived at Hogwarts, and everyone knew my name. They all wanted to feel like they were my best friend, and if a waved at someone, even if it was a seventh year, they scurried off to tell their friends that "that popular new first year waved at them." Part of me, the part that I showed, was absolutely reveling in all the attention. The other half wanted to hide in the astronomy tower, and never show my face again.

Every once in while, I would, when all the girls in my dorm were asleep. I would creep out of my bed and silently walk to the tower. Even though I would act ditzy and dumb in the presence of others, alone I would read the books I secretly checked out of the library, and practice magic silently.

One incident I specifically remember, was when I was practicing the Repello charm, the charm to make a sort of bubble around your self, so that nothing physical could touch you. Quietly, I would whisper "Repello," and the items I placed around me would fly away.

It was all going well, except for the few items that wouldn't move, the heavier ones, when all of a sudden, I heard a voice.

"Impressive. Isn't that fourth year magic though?"

I jumped, and shouted the spell I was practicing loudly, and obviously it worked, and I heard a muffled thump tumble down a few stairs. I hoped they had not seen my face. I peered through the door, trying to disguise my voice as I asked, "Who is it? Are you OK?"

Suddenly the mysterious person materialized behind me. I jumped behind the door so that they couldn't see me.

"You don't have to hide," They said. "I'm an enchanter too."

I still had not been informed that I was an enchantress, so what he was saying puzzled me. I didn't understand who this person was and what he meant by saying "I'm an enchanter too." Did he think I was an "enchanter"? I was sure he must have been confused.

"Go away!" I exclaimed. I was very nervous that this person would come and try to hurt me or something. I was no longer scared about my popularity status. All the memories of my dad and other men in my life hurting me came rushing back. They were hitting me, and all of a sudden, I did something that went against everything I had taught my self. I collapsed, and I started to cry.

When the person that had been talking to me heard me, he became puzzled.

"Hello? Are you OK?" He looked around the door cautiously, worried at what he would find.

"Lily? Is that you?" He sounded so genuinely concerned that I looked up.

"Potter? What are you doing here?" I sobbed.

He stepped back, apprehensive at this new side of me. He started walking around, looking for a place to start.

"Lumos… So. You're an enchantress? But I thought…. Well I thought you were a muggle-born."

"What are you talking about Potter." I snapped. "Of course I am a muggle born. And I am not an enchantress. Just… Listen , don't mention this to anyone, alright. Not even Sirius. Or Remus, or Peter, or… ANYONE. OK?" I got up to storm away, but he grabbed my arm.

"Lily, I know what I am talking about. You are an enchantress. I don't know how that is possible, but it is. But, still, why should I not tell the world that the popular Lily Evans is actually bloody intelligent?" He finished it all with an annoying smirk, as if daring me to convince him not to inform every one of my…brains.

"You know what? Whatever… Oblivi-" I waved my wand, ready to perform the spell, when I was painfully blasted back by James, before I hit the wall, however, I shut my eyes, clenched myself, and muttered "Repello" and, even though I did not have a wand, I was blasted away from the rocks. Before I realized I had just performed wandless magic, I slammed into the floor, and the jolt of pain that ran through my body was the only thing on my mind.

I gave Potter one last glance before storming out, "Dammit Potter, get away from me."
