Hey, here it is, Episode 3! Yeah! Ok, so, I feel like I'm talking to no one at the moment 'cept my dog. Um, well, I know that Troy reads this thought. Makes me feel good. HEHEHEHEH, um, so I guess that's all. I promise, by the end of this season, I will have everything in place. I realized that I never put in indents in my first two chapters. Grrrrrr. So, now I have a post-it note on my computer telling me everything I have to do. Oh yeah, just so you know, I have dedorant all over my tank top. Oh yeah, I know this is starting off really slow, but this is all leading up to the end of this season and future seasons. All this needs to happen in order for the final season fanale to happen. That will be a big moment! I can't wait until that moment. So, I know, even my editor told me it doesn't have enough drama/soap opera appeal. It will. Makes me feel sooooo much better. I was planning this out in the shower. If you're reading this, please let me know threw a comment here or a comment on my xanga, Thanks, MJ! Oh, P.S, in the last chapter, at the end, Liam was like, "No fair, it's only the second day." What he means is that, they all got to the University but they didn't have classes. Everyone got there around 3 till, so there were no classes. But, the part with McGonagall, that was the next day. So essentially, they had been at the school for about...a day and a half, but Liam just said two days.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to do this? Liam, Vanessa, the college and the plot is mine. Plus the wording. Nothing else is mine thought. Oh yeah, so is the blue eyed girl. She's mine too.
Previously on Everyone Has Secrets...

"Here, let me help you."
"Thank you, young man."
"Albus Dumbledore."
"James Potter."
Episode 3- Of Saint and Satan
Lily opened her dormitory door. A sent of cinnamon and oranges flowed from the room. She walked in the room with caution. Lily noticed that the little light that shown was from candles. Sanding in the middle of the room was a girl lighting a candle.
This girl had semi-long hair. It was a dark black, like a raven. She had icy blue eyes and her nose and eyebrow were pierced. (Lily wouldn't have been surprised if her tong had been pierced too.)
She wore a black mini skirt with neon tights underneath and black fish nets over the tights. A small back tank top was covered up by the fish net shirt but her belly button showed and it was pierced too. The combat boots and triple cartilage plus double on her ear lobes finished off her Goth and sinister look.
Lily coughed from the heavy fumes of the burning candles.
"Super naturalists say orange fumes open your pores. It's a little deathly but works well," the girl said.
"Oh!" Lily gasped, startled. "Um…are…are you the, are you my roommate?" Lily questioned.
"Well, if you're Lily Evans, then I am," the girl replied.
"Yes, that's me. Lily Evans. Nice to meet you," Lily said sticking out her hand.
The girl looked at it, then took a cigarette out of her pack and lit it. She took a long drag and then replied,
"Vanessa Shinglton."
Lily would have liked to tell her that she shouldn't smoke in the dormitories, but to be quite frank, Lily was a little afraid of her new roommate.
"You want one?" Vanessa offered, holding out the pack.
"Um…no thanks. I don't smoke," Lily said, eyeing the pack.
Vanessa smiled and gave her a chuckle. Suddenly, the sprinkler system went off, putting out all the candles which was the only source of light in the room.
"Damnit!"

Knock, knock, knock!
"Lily! What are you doing here?" James exclaimed as he opened the door.
Lily smiled at him sheepishly.
"Um, well, my roommate…she set the sprinklers off in our dormitory, and now our beds are wet…" Lily explained.
"You were hoping I would give you something warm to wear and sleep on?" James said with a smile.
"Sort of, something along those lines," Lily said sheepishly.
"Yeah, hold on," James told her.
He turned around and ran face to face into Liam.
"Dude! Is that the chick from last night? IT IS! I can't believe she came back for more. Holy…"
"Shut up! Why do you have to be so loud?" James snapped in an undertone. "Just a friend from Hogwarts. Her room's all wet and she needs some clothes," James explained quickly.
Liam shoved passed James and leaned against the dormitory door frame.
"Hello," Liam said.
"Hi," Lily replied.
"Don't know if James told you, but I'm his new roommate. My name's Liam," he finished
"Lily Evans. Nice to meet you," Lily said politely.
"You and your friend need a place to stay? You can spend the night here. It'll be like, a sleepover," Liam said.
"Ok, let me tell Vanessa," Lily said.
"Dude!" Liam said. "I can't believe you went to school with her for seven YEARS! I mean, that chick is soooo hot!"
"Yeah, whatever," James commented.

"Come on Vanessa! It'll be fun. Besides, I know one of the guys and…" but Lily wasn't quite sure as to what she should say. Lily never liked James. They were more like enemies. What surprised Lily was the way James was behaving. He wasn't acting arrogant or snotty. He was actually acting like a gentleman.
"Look, I'm not a big fan of James Potter myself, but I trust him enough. Nothing's gonna happen," Lily assured her.
"I'm not worried about anything! I just… I'd rather just sleep in the sodding bed," Vanessa snapped.
"Oh," was all Lily said.
"Ya' know what, I'll go. Just so YOU don't CRY!" Vanessa said.
"I wasn't gonna cry…"

That night Lily, James and Liam talked and played games like wizards' chess almost all night. Vanessa just sat away from the group watching.

Remus looked at his wrist watch.
"Shit," he murmured.
It was well past 10:00 and while there was no curfew to beat, if Sirius decided to go to bed early, Remus would be locked out.
He scooped up his books and paper and sprinted out the door. Just as Remus turned a corner, he ran into someone.
Thump
"Good Lord! I'm sorry!" Remus exclaimed. He scurried around picking up his scattered books.
"Here, this is yours," a feminine voice said.
Remus looked up at a pair of bright, blue eyes.
Bum bum bum bummmmm! Cliff Hanger. To bad I'm coming back later today to post episode 4. Just so you all know, I'm going to camp next week, so I'm posting two stories today and on Friday to make up for it. Ok? So, leave me comments while I'm at camp. So, yeah...
Ponder Questions
Why does Vanessa act like she does?
Where's she from?
The way Liam acted around Lily, is he like that around every girl?
Why was Vanessa feeling uncomfterble(sp) about spending the night with the boys?
Who was the girl Remus ran into?
Later on Everyone Has Secrets...
"So, what do you think about Lily? I mean, you're like friends or something, right?
"She cool and stuff. She dated and had friends."
"Do you know him?"
Silence
"Who is he anyway?"
"Asswhole, that's who," she said, getting up and storming off.
"Wait!"
"I think that this is yours."
