Chapter 3- Dreams

Lily walked through the corridors towards the great hall alone. "Where is everyone?" She thought looking around the empty hall. Her long deep red hair tumbled down to her shoulders in waves. Instead of her usual school uniform she wore a long elegant white dress. She pushed the heavy wooden doors to the Great Hall open only to find it lit up by candles and beautiful fountains. The doors slammed shut and loud yet strangly familiar oragn music filled the giant room. The girl looked around in confusion and looked up to see at the high table stood a tall figure in a black cape.

"What the heck…" She whispered and felt a strange uncontrolable urge to sing.

"In school he sang to me. In dreams he came…." She began looking around the room in horror. The man turned and revealed that he wore a white mask to cover his face.

'This is weird…' Lily thought as the verse continued.

"That boy which calls to me and doodles my name. And in school again I again find…"

The man stepped from the high table and seemed to glide across the floor to her.

Their faces drew close yet the words flowed still.

"The Phantom of Hogwarts is there inside my mind…"

The masked man took her hand and spun her around and dipped her low to the ground as he too began to sing. "Start once again with me our strange duet." His voice took her breath away and he pulled her back up still holding her close and continued to dance. "My true love for you grows stronger yet."

Lily's hands moved up to his shoulders as he continued to dance and then spun her out sending her away. " And though you turn from me. I will someday prove."

He lept onto a table his cape swishing and he turned back towards her dramatically raising his arm. "The Phantom of Hogwarts is there. Inside your mind."

Lily followed gracefully climbing onto the table. Their hands met touching lightly and then they both twirled away only to come back even close then before. Lily's finger tips brushed across thw hite mask. "Girls who have seen your face. Swoon from love. I am the mask you wear."

"It's lies they hear." He said pulling her hand away from the mask.

"My spirit and your own. In one combined The Phantom of Hogwarts is there inside my mind." Lily sang as they began a series of difficult footwork. She wanted more than anything to yank that mask off and see who her partner was that she seemed to have fallen for so quickly.

"In all your fantasies you always knew. The one you loathed and loved."

"Was you."

"And in this laybrinth That is your heart. The Phantom of Hogwarts is there."

"Inside my heart."

The Phantom dipped her again and Lily gripped the mask and pulled it off….

"LILY WAKE UP!" Hannah yelled into her friends ears who jumped nearly three feet in the air before landing back on the couch where she'd fallen alseep while reading.

Laughter filled the room and she looked up her eyes adjusting to conciousness and she saw Mia, Amanda, and Hannah standing there in their night clothes.

"We got worried after three hours of waiting up for you." Mia explained. Liky's green eyes flicked over to Amanda who held d a bucket.

"And what was that for?" Lily inquired rasinging an eyebrow.

"Incase yelling didn't work." She tilted the bucket to show the ice cold water to the red head.

"Well I'm glad Hannah's method was tried first. I guess I didn't realize how tired I was."

Lily said rubbing her eyes.

"There is one question Lils….what were you humming?" Mia asked. Lily's eyes widened and she blinked up at her. "I was humming?"

"It sounded familiar too…. But I couldn't olace my finger on it." Hannah sighed sitting down on Lily's feet.

"It was from the Phantom of the Opera. I saw it this summer." Amanda said calmly. The extreme lack emotion in her voice said that this too was seen with Sirius.

"Huh that's weird now let's get to bed." Lily said getting up off the couch and heading towards the staircase. She didn't want to repeat her dream aloud to her friends.

They all exchanged glances. "You are not getting away that easily." Amanada said as they followed her upstairs to their room.

"What happened in that dream?" Hannah added as all three pounced onto her bed waiting for an explanation.

Lily sighed knowing that she wasn't going to get a moments rest if she didn't tell them.

"I had a dream I was in the Great Hall dancing and singing with this extremely handsome guy okay? But I couldn't see his face because of a mask and you woke me up before I could see who it was."

"Oh…" They all said getting off her bed.

"Well Lily maybe your gut will turn up when you go back to sleep." Amanda said shrugging and hopping onto her own bed.

Lily shrugged. "It's no big deal." She snuggled down beneath the covers and closed her eyes and soon difted off to sleep.

"Can't you just throw something at him?"

"And have him hex me? I think not moony you'd better do it." Sirius said.

Remus shook his head falling back onto his pillow as they both tried to ignore the loud humming coming from James's bed.

"I hate it when he has this stupid Phantom dream." They both said in unison.

The Gryffindors sat in their Defense Against the Darks Arts class. It had been a week since the episode on the train and things were still pretty tense.

"I'm pleased to announce That your grades on the Werewolf essays were all passing." The Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher held rolls of parchment in his arms.

"Ms. Evans your normal work as usual." He winked and handed back her parchment.

"Thank you sir..." She replied modestly yet she still grinned.

"Mr. Lupin! Fantastic job if I do says so myself, but one with your knowledge..it seemed a bit lacking…" He said attemtping not to spill the beans on Remus's "Furry Secret."

Lupin nodded solemly. "I will try to do better next time…"

"Mr. Potter! I was rather shocked to read your essay it was better than I would expect."

James smiled. "Thank you sir."

"You'd better watch out Miss Evans he's starting to catch up with you."

James looked over at her with a trademark Potter smirk but she turned away ignoring it and began writing on a piece of parchment.

"Mr. Snape nice job! It was if you actually knew a werewolf…"

Snape smiled his thin oily smile and looked back at Remus. "Of course I don't professor... You know that."

"Of course my boy it was merely a joke...That reminds me of a good one I heard about a turtle and Muggle..." The Professor began to ramble.

'That Greasy headed Git! I'll show him…..'James pulled out his wand and muttered under his breath and put it away once again. There was no visible change to Snape.

"And the turtle said 'Hey this isn't clam chowder! This is chicken noodle!' " The teacher barked loudly and began to laugh as if it were the funniest thing in the word...

They were dismissed from class and thestudents scattered to head towards their next class for the day.

Laughter filled that hall after a few moments and Lily's brow furrowed as she looked to see what caused it. Snape was walking alone down the hall as usual, but wasn't usual were the words printed in pink shimmering letters on his back.

"I am a Greasy Weasel like suck up. I also like to scrub my mother's feet every night."

Lily whirled around seeing that the the Marauders were the ones laughing the hardest. Anger boiled inside her as she moved forward to tell him but stopped.

'He'll just call me a foul name and refuse to accept my help.'

Lily sighed waving her wand and Snape didn't even flinch as a large mirror appeared in front of him and behind him. In the reflection he could see that words clearly.

It was impossible for her to tell his reaction because Lily turned around. "Everyone clear out NOW! Or You'll be joining The culprit in detention." Her emerald eyes locked in on James and he knew that she knew it was him.

"I hate that keen sense of hers…" James muttered as everyone left. Sirius gave him a supportive clap on the shoulder and then left so that he wouldn't have to face the wrath of Lily Evans.

"You'll be reporting to Professor Slughorn tonight at 7. You'd better not skip out you know how much he hates that." Lily said smirking slightly as she handed Potter his slip and turned away.

"And I assume you'll be there this time?" James asked.

"What?" Lily turned back around.

"Don't you usually work on some sort of project with Slughorn at 7 on this night?" James asked clarifying the question from before.

Lily's eyes widened somewhat as she realized he was right. She brewed potions for Professor Slughorn everyweek for the years below her.

" I…I guess I will…" Lily said wondering how on earth she could've forgotten. She looked at the paper wanting to change the date but it was laready set there was nothing she could do.'Bloody…'
