Ok, I hope you liked the first chapter and I hope I explained enough. The rest of the stuff is unimportant. For the disclaimer, go to chapter one.
Chapter 2
Lily woke early the next morning. After she got dressed, she went downstairs for breakfast, careful not to burn the bacon. They left shortly after by ways of Floo Powder. Lily flew out of the fireplace at the Leaky Caldron, covered in dust and soot. She stood quickly to get out of the way as James rushed out of the fireplace after her.
"I always hate taking Floo Powder." James mumbled as he brushed soot off of his cloak.
"But you know it's the fastest way for all of us to get here legally." Lily said. "We can't apperate until we're seventeen." She couldn't wait to apperate. A second later, Amy shoot out of the fireplace, with Harry, Hermione, and Isaiah close behind.
"Alright, Lily and James, you'll come with me. Amy, you'll go with mum." Harry said, brushing soot off his emerald cloak. "We'll meet at noon to eat here." They all agreed on this plan and soon took off to their separate ways. Lily, James, and Harry first went to Madam Malcolm's for new school robes, since that James had grown at least four inches, making him 5'9'', and Lily had grown two inches, making her 5'5''. They next went to buy their new school books which included The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 5) and many others. Then, they went off to get their wands checked. Lily handed her wand over to the man first. He scrutinized it carefully.
"Hmm, eleven and a quarter inch. Cherry with a hair of a unicorn tail. Very useful for charms and hexes." he said. "It's in very good shape. Next!" James handed his own wand over to the man. He looked at the wand meticulously. "Hmmm, twelve and three quarters inch. Bamboo, very rare indeed, with a phoenix feather. Useful for transfiguration. It's in excellent shape!" James grinned at Lily as he took his wand from the man. By the time they got their wands checked, it was already noon. They sped off to the Leaky Caldron to meet Hermione and Amy. After lunch, Harry and Hermione decided to let James, Lily, and Amy wander off by themselves. So, Lily headed off to the nearest bookshop while Amy and James wandered to the ice cream parlor. When Lily got to the shop, she scanned the shelves for a certain book. When she finally found it, she sat down and started reading. She was on page fifty- three when a figure blocked her lighting. She looked up to ask them if they would move, but the words lost their way to her tongue when she saw who it was.
"Elizabeth!" she shouted excitedly, "What are you doing here?"
"The same thing you're doing." she replied. "I'm school shopping. How are you doing, Lily?" Elizabeth knew about Ian going to Italy with his family.
"I'm hanging in there." Lily replied. "He'll be home in two weeks." Elizabeth just laughed.
"Well, I hope he gets here soon, or you'll drive us all crazy with your weekly letters."
"I'm lonely and so I write you guys." Lily replied.
"Well, I better go, my mum is waiting for me in Olivander's." Elizabeth replied. "I'll see you later!" Lily waved after Elizabeth and returned to her book. An hour later, Harry turned up to pick up Lily and to go back to the Leaky Caldron. They met up with the rest of the family and flooed (if you can call that a word) back to the house.
Two uneventful weeks went by and Lily got more impatient as each day went by. On the week before she returned to Hogwarts, Lily was in her room, reading the latest letter from Ian. Her parents had gone to Diagon Alley briefly to get some last minute supplies and would return at any time. There came a knock at the door.
"Go away, James!" Lily yelled at the door. "I'm busy!" After a minute, the door slowly started to open. "James, I said go away!" But the door opened anyways, but instead of her brother in the doorway, it was Ian, home from Italy. Lily let out a squeal of delight.
"You're home!" she exclaimed. She ran up to him and fell into his arms. Being six inches taller than her, Ian had to bend down to give her a peck on the cheek.
"I missed you." he whispered in her ear. He kissed her on the lips this time.
"I missed you too." Lily replied. "I was just reading your letter that came in yesterday. So, how was you're trip?" Ian shrugged.
"It was ok, but I rather you be with us." Lily giggled slightly. She knew that she was acting like a ditz, not her usual self, but it didn't matter at that moment. "So, are your parents here?" Lily shook her head.
"No, they went to Diagon Alley to get some last minutes things." Lily said, looking at Ian meaningfully. "Which leaves this house empty of all adults." Ian leaned down and kissed Lily deeply on the lips and she kissed back. The stood there for a moment, not letting go of each other. Lily slowly took off the jacket that she was wearing, since the room was getting warmer as the minutes went by. They gradually sank onto her bed and Ian descended to her neck. She and Ian had snogged each other all the time last year at Hogwarts, but never in the privacy of a bedroom. Ian gently pushed Lily down on the bed so she was lying down on it. Just then, the door opened and a little gasp came from the doorway. Lily and Ian immediately stood up, wiping their mouths, blushing furiously. Amy stood in the doorway, staring at the two of them, a shocked expression on her face.
"If you dare tell mum and dad, I'll give you a hex so bad that, well, let's just say that mum used it on a girl in her fifth year and she still has the marks." Lily hissed at her sister. Amy's face turned white. She had seen what Lily could do.
"I promise, I won't tell." she said timidly back. She ran out of the room and Lily turned back to Ian.
"Now, where were we?" she said, kissing him on the lips. "I got prefect."
"That's awesome!" Ian replied, holding Lily an arm's length away from him. "I got prefect too. Did you get Quidditch Captain?" Lily thought for a moment.
"I didn't see a badge, only a prefect, but I didn't look much after the prefect badge." Lily replied. "Let me look." She walked over to her dresser and peered into the envelope. And sure enough, tucked into the corner was a golden badge. It had a note tucked on the back of it.
"Miss Lily Potter,
I am pleased to tell you that you have been chosen Quidditch Captain this year. Congratulations.
Pro. Harry J. Potter"
"I must have missed it in all the excitement of getting prefect." Lily said, turning around to face Ian.
"So now we're both prefects and captains." he said, grinning. He kissed her gently on the lips and in a moment, they were back on the bed. The door opened again, but instead of a little gasp, a shout came from the door.
"Lily Potter!" Once again, Lily and Ian jumped up from the bed, wiping their mouths. Hermione Potter stood in the doorway, looking just as shocked as Amy had a few minutes ago.
"Mum, you're back." Lily stuttered. Her face had gone crimson.
"Lily, what are you doing?" Hermione asked, already knowing the answer. She then took her voice to a whisper. "I said to do this out of the house. You're lucky that I was the one to check on you and not you're dad." Lily grinned vastly. Her mum was all right with her and Ian, but her dad still didn't not like him, Ian being the son of Harry's old enemy from school. "Just be careful not to get caught by your father."
"I'll be careful, mum." Lily replied. Hermione left the room. Lily turned to Ian. "Come on, let's go downstairs." When they got downstairs, it was to find Harry reading the newspaper. He shook his head as his wife walked past him.
"There was another sighting of Ryan in Ireland." he sighed. Hermione walked up behind his chair and hung her arms around his shoulders.
"They've been chasing him for more than two years now." Hermione said, shaking her head. "I told them they should have put Alex on the case." Alex was Elizabeth's mom, and the best Auror in the ministry. Then Harry looked up, spotting Lily and Ian.
"Ah, Ian. When did you get here?" he asked suspiciously. Ian went slightly pale.
"Just a few minutes ago." Hermione replied casually. She gave Ian a smile. "I invited him over."
"I see." Harry replied.
"Would you like to stay for dinner?" Hermione asked.
"Uhhh..." he said, looking from Harry to Hermione.
"I'll take that as a yes." Hermione said, cheerfully. She went off to the kitchen to start dinner.
"So, I suppose that you made Quidditch Captain?" Harry asked casually to Ian. He nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Potter, uhh, sir." he muttered. Lily scowled at her dad. She grabbed Ian's arm.
"And he got prefect along with me, dad." Lily commented. Harry tried to conceal his look of astonishment, but failed miserably.
"He did, did he?" he said impassively. "Well, that's good."
Breaking the uncomfortable silence, Lily said, "Dad, I got captain, too. I missed it the first time I looked."
"That's great, sweetheart." Harry exclaimed, forgetting about Ian for the moment. Just then, James came down the stairs.
"Hey, Ian, nice to see you. How was your trip?" he asked. Ian shrugged.
"It was alright." he replied.
"So, are you going home soon?"
"No." Lily cut in quickly, frowning at her brother. "He's staying for dinner." Just then, Hermione came in to announce that dinner was ready. They all say at the table, Lily and Ian next to each other.
"So, Ian. You got prefect and captain." Hermione commented, since no one else preferred to talk. "That's quite commendable."
"Thank you, Mrs. Potter." Ian replied. He took another bite of mashed potato.
The rest of the dinner was unusually quiet since Harry wished not to talk to Ian and Lily was not speaking to her father and brother from anger. Lily and Ian excused themselves from the table and retreated to her room again. Ian fiercely kissed her as she closed the door behind them. They then sat on the bed silently.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Ian asked, looking at her face. "You've been very quiet since I've gotten here." Lily looked up at Ian, contemplating whether to tell him about her dream or not.
"It was a dream I had a couple of weeks ago." Lily said, sighing. "It was so real. That's what scared me the most."
"What was it about?"
"It was about us." Lily began. "I was in a battlefield, and I was..."
"What?" Ian asked as her voice died.
"I was pregnant in the dream. About five months, maybe more. But I was looking for you, or in my dream, I was. I found you and you, you..." A tear fell down her face as she recalled the dream. Like she had said, it so real that it had scared her.
"You were injured, badly." Lily continued. "You placed a hand on my stomach and told me to take care of the baby and then, you went limp and I woke up." She looked over to Ian. His face had gone pale.
"It was just a dream, right?" he said, worry in his voice. Lily shook her head.
"That's just it, it was so real, like a vision." Lily said. "And it felt as if I was really pregnant."
"We weren't like, our age, were we?" Ian asked.
"No, we were a little bit older, adults." Lily reassured him. Ian sighed in relief. He wrapped an arm around her.
"Don't worry about. It was probably nothing."
"That's what I'm hoping." Lily said, sighing and getting up. Ian stood up after her.
"I'd better get home now. My parents want me home before seven." Ian replied.
"Ok, see you soon. Bye." Lily said, kissing passionately. She walked him to the fireplace where they kissed again before he disappeared into the green flames. She went to the living room where she found her dad sitting in his chair, reading the Evening Prophet.
"Um, Dad?" she asked hesitantly. He looked up from the newspaper.
"Yes, Lily?" he asked.
"I have a question to ask." she said. He gave a look as if to say Go on. She sighed. "Do we have any seers in our family?" Harry looked up from his paper, a confused look on his face.
"Why do you ask?" he asked curiously. Lily started moving on her feet like when she had been caught by her mum and she was lying about it.
"No reason." she lied. "I was just wondering."
"Not that I can think of, no." her dad replied. "But we have some old records of the family tree in the attic if you want to look."
"Nah, I just wanted to know." Lily said. "Thanks, dad."
"No problem." he shouted after her. "I wonder what that was about." he said to himself. He shrugged, forgetting the whole thing and went back to reading his paper.

Ok, I hope you like it. The plot is now thickening, well, there's not really a plot like, a bad guy coming to trash the school, or a mystery to solve. It's really just a regular year for Lily, but there is a slight plot, I guess. I'm taking Driver's Ed, so I'll be busy for a while, but I'll be typing as fast as I can to get the chapter out. And don't forget my new post on my bio about break-up ideas. Thanks! HPgirl7 :)
