Sorry this chapter is a week late but I was in Italy because of an exchange I did with school and I couldn't bring my laptop soooo

Enjoy :)

Lily's POV

I could feel something was wrong when I woke up that morning. Maybe it was because my dorm room was completely empty. I sat up in my bed, and looked around for a while. Where was everyone? I decided that they were probably at breakfast, and got up to get dressed. When I got to the common room, I finally saw people. I didn't know them because they were at least two years older, but they were people, which made me feel better.

When I was walking to the great hall for breakfast, I realized Nico was probably still in the hospital wing with Bianca. I turned around to go to the hospital wing, totally forgetting about breakfast.

'And you're absolutely sure you're fine?' I heard Remus ask when I walked in. He was sitting beside a bed, probably Nico's, which was surrounded by chairs with people sitting on them, which is why I couldn't see who was in the bed. I saw Remus, Sirius and Roxanne, and I assumed Bianca and James were sitting on the other side of the bed.

'Yeah, Remus, I'm fine. Would you calm done?' I heard Nico answer from behind all those backs I was looking at.

'Yeah, dude, all you've been doing since we got here is asking how Nico is.' James said.

'And that was an hour ago, Remus.' Roxanne chipped in.

'Hey, guys, Nico, you sure you're doing okay?' I asked, mocking Remus. The others laughed, expect Remus, who just laughed sarcastically.

'Come sit here.' Bianca said as she grabbed another chair and put it between her chair and James' chair.

'Do I get pushed away now?' James asked while he was being shoved away.

'Yes.' Bianca and I said in unison, what made the others laugh.

'So, how's your arm doing, it looked broken yesterday.'

'Oh, its fine. I drank some disgusting stuff and then it healed itself.'

'Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.'

'Hey, do you wanna hear about mine and Nico's dreams? They were super weird.' Bianca asked. I wasn't really feeling like hearing about their dreams, but I didn't want to seem mean. I mean, Nico had just fallen out of the air!

'Yeah, sure.' James said, leaning over my shoulder.

'Uh, I think she meant me.' I said to James who looked disappointed.

'Of course, I knew that.' He said laughing very fake.

'Okay, so what it was, was this. There were two guys, one with a suit and a weird lighting bolt in his belt and later in his hand, the other with black robes and a super pale face. Both were enormous, like giants. And they were standing in the middle of a sort of throne room with,' Bianca stopped her story for a second to look around. 'So, everyone is listening now?' We all nodded yes and I urged her to go on. 'Okay. So, they were standing in a throne room with twelve chairs which were about as big as they were. They were brothers and they were fighting. Real mad at each other. They were saying stuff about someone who got hurt and the business man pinned the pale guy to the wall and then the business man got out his lighting bolt and… and that was it. Then I was woken by lighting.'

I gasped, 'The lighting that the business man had in his hand!'

'Yeah, laugh, it was probably nothing, but-'

Bianca got interrupted by James, 'Wait a second, I had that dream too!'

'Seriously, you had the exact same dream?' Nico asked.

'Yeah, but I couldn't see the pale guy. I was kind of standing behind him.'

'That's so weird! But, Bianca, you said Nico had a dream too, tell us Nico. Tell us right now.' Remus demanded. I don't think he cared much that Bianca and James had the same super weird dream.

'No, just a sec, 'cause my dream was longer, I wasn't woken by the lighting.'

'Who care-'

'Remus, we have time for Nico's dream after James tells us. It's only half past ten, calm down.' Sirius said, and I realized I had slept for a really long time.

'Okay, so after the business man waved with his lighting bolt, the pale guy laughed very creepily again. Then the business man asked him what he had done, and he said something about a protecting curse around Hogwarts. But, like, a better one then there already was. So the business man got super mad again and told his brother he couldn't keep them their forever and the brother said: "Just you wait for it." and then the business man walked past the pale guy and basically straight through me. Then I woke up. Who d'you think they being by "them"?' James finished his story.

'I have absolutely no idea.' Roxanne said, who hadn't said much up till now, which I thought was weird.

'Now Nico's dream.' Remus demanded again.

'Sure, Remus, calm down. Okay, so, I had a dream bout a face, which kind of looked like the pale guy you were describing.'

'What did he say, exactly?'

Nico glared at Remus for a second, and then continued, 'I can't remember what he said exactly, but it was something like this: "Nico, you have to wake up. I already lost one child to Gaea, I'm not going to lose another one too. Think abut your sister, you can't leave her alone. I asked for Apollo's help but he said we won't do anything because you're still here. But I can't get you out of here, my brother would kill you. Just wake up already, Nico, those magical medicines have to be good enough to wake you up! Oh, thank me, you're waking up. One last thing, Nico, and tell this to your sister Bianca too, never, ever fly in the air again. I'll have you get out of flying lessons. Promise me that you'll never do it again." and then I woke up. And by the way, the last few sentences he got kind of blurry.'

'Gaea and Apollo?' Remus asked.

'Why can't you fly?' James asked.

'What other child?' Bianca asked.

'Bianc, I already told you about my dream.' Nico laughed.

'Yeah, but what other child? Since when do we have another sibling? And what happened to them? Are they dead, kidnapped… We have to help them, Nico.'

'How can you help them if you have no idea where they could be?' Roxanne asked, which I thought was a good reason to stay here.

'Plus, if that pale guy went through so much trouble to keep you save here, you shouldn't leave.' Sirius said, which I thought was another good reason. Which was weird, a good reason coming from Sirius, you don't see that every day.

'Yeah, if you leave you could die.' Roxanne said, looking at Bianca, what made me think she was more worried for Bianca then for Nico. I got it, Bianca was probably the only nice one in their year at Slytherin. From the girls, at least.

'Exactly, don't leave.' All of us pleaded.

'But if we stay here, we'll probably never find our other sibling.' Nico was in for leaving now too.

'Nico, look at yourself.' James said, probably a little harsher than he meant to. 'You're in no shape to get out of here to find a sibling you have never met and have no idea where could be. And, maybe they're dead already.'

'Dude!' I slapped him.

'It's true. isn't it! That guy said he couldn't lose another child, so he already lost your other sibling. And if you go looking for them, you could end up dead too. Then pale guy probably has no children at all.'

'How can we be sure he's our father?' Bianca asked.

'He's not, our father is a coward for leaving, he could never be so brave to his brother. Plus, why would he suddenly appear in our dreams after all these years? Why hasn't he ever come before?'

'Didn't you say you used to have dreams about-'

'Don't interrupt. Anyway, our father is hopefully dead, and this were just dreams. I don't think we should take them seriously.'

'But just a second ago you wanted to go search for our sister too!'

'Yeah, but then you brought up dad, and now I have returned to my senses. You should too, Bianca.'

'But what if a sibling of ours is getting killed right now!'

'Then we're already too late. Let it go, Bianc.' The rest of us looked uncomfortable, Nico clearly didn't want to talk about their father, but we were really curious.

We talked a bit more about little things, and after about an hour madam Pomfrey said Nico was good to go. All of us went back to our common rooms to make some homework. At least, James and Sirius said they were gonna make their homework, but of course they weren't. I knew they better than to believe that.

'So, what do you think is up with Mr. di Angelo?' James said after literally five seconds of us sitting down.

'Dunno. Remus, what's the answer to this question?' Sirius leaned over Remus' shoulder.

'Can't you make it yourself?' I snapped.

'Wow, calm down, Lils.'

'Don't call me Lils.'

'Lils is maaaaad.'

'I'm going.' I stood up and left. I'd make my homework later, right now I had to get away from them.

I didn't know where to go, I wanted to go to the Slytherin common room to find Sev or Bianca, but I had no idea where that could be. Yeah, the dungeons, but further, no idea. After walking through the castle for a while, I decided to go to lunch. It was still early, but, oh well.

I walked towards the great hall when I bumped into some girl I knew was a Ravenclaw, 'Watch where you're going.' She called after me.

'How was that my fault?'

The girl sighed, 'I got get you expelled, d'you know that?'

'You could get me expelled for bumping into you?'

'Yes, that's what I just said, try to listen.' She rolled her eyes and walked off with her friends who were laughing hysterically. A bit too much, in my opinion. How could she get me expelled for something so stupid? She was probably just bluffing.

I walked further, trying to forget about that girl. Had I just made an enemy? I wasn't planning on making enemies here, but I guess I couldn't avoid it.

When I arrived at the great hall, I found out I wasn't hungry anymore. I decided to write a letter to my family. After that run-in with that girl, I really missed my parents. And even Petunia, my sister, I missed her too. I went back to the Gryffindor common room to get a paper and a quill, and then walked to my dorm room so I had some privacy.

"Hi mum, dad and Petunia,

I just wanted to say that everything is going well, my grades are good, I got my house quite some points and made a lot of friends. I miss you guys a lot, though.
How is it going with you? How is your new school, Petunia? Is it fun? Here, I'm having a lot of fun. I just learned to fly on a broomstick, I know, it sounds ridiculous, and I also mastered the levitation spell. It's fun to make things fly around my room.
It's gonna be weird not seeing you guys with Thanksgiving, what is in a week and a half, but I'll be back for Christmas. I think we have a vacation of two or three weeks.

Tell grandpa and grandma I love and miss them too,

Lily"

After I was done, I went up to the owlery. I choose a pretty owl and knotted the letter to its claw.

'Go, fly, owl, send me something back please, bye.' I always liked talking to the owls who delivered my messages. I also liked giving the owls snacks, but I didn't have anything with me. When the owl would come back, I'd give it something.

When I got down again to go back to the common room, I finally found Bianca. She was walking with Roxanne.

'Hey guys.'

'Oh, hey, Lily. Are you done with your homework too?' Bianca asked.

'Nah, James and Sirius annoyed me so I'm gonna make it later. What are you up to?'

'Dunno, we were just walking.'

'You can join us.'

'Sure, I will.'

We started talking about everything we could think off while walking through the castle. After a while, we ran into one of the ghosts. I didn't know this one.

'Princess Bianca, have you talked to your father yet? He isn't mad, is he?' At first, Bianca looked shocked, but after a second, she just looked annoyed.

'Go away, McMillan.' She walked right through the ghost. I looked at Roxanne, who looked about as confused as I was.

'B-Bianca?' She said as we ran after her, 'What was that about?'

'Yeah, why did that ghost call you a princess?'

'I don't know.' Bianca snapped, 'All these ghosts have been following Nico and me everywhere. But literally everywhere. They keep asking us if we've talked to out father and if he could maybe forgive them for turning into a ghost, and we keep telling them we don't talk to our dad and we don't know if he could forgive them and they should just go away and leave us alone, but they won't. They keep asking us things we don't have answers for and keep annoying us and I'm getting sick of it. Every since we got here our lives have only gotten worse.' There were tears in her eyes. 'First those other stupid Slytherins, then all those classes which for some reason Nico and I just can't do, then, out of nowhere, Nico falls out of the air, and now these stupid dreams. I can't handle it anymore. I just wanna go back to where we stayed before where our lives were good.' The tears were rolling down her face now.

I didn't know what to say, while I was struggling with mastering the spells, she and Nico were struggling with so much more. I thought a hug might be the best option right now. Right when I was gonna hug her, Roxanne did the same. We did a group hug and Bianca stopped crying.

'Thanks guys, I'm sorry I started crying out of nowhere.'

'That totally okay, you wanna talk about it some more?'

'Nah, I really don't.'

'You wanna find Nico?'

'No, I'm okay. It felt really good to get that out.'

'It sounded ridiculous.' I heard a girl say. I recognized the voice immediately, it was the Ravenclaw girl. 'And it makes sense that such a weird girl would hang out with the girl who can't see.' The girl came from behind the corner to laugh at us. 'And what's wrong with you?' The girl asked Roxanne.

'There is nothing wrong with any of us. Who are you?'

'I'm Alexa Rowell, Ravenclaw.'

'Oh, I get it, just because you're a Ravenclaw you think you're better than us.'

'I am better than you.' Alexa smiled sweetly.

'Don't think so.'

'What house are you then?'

'We,' Roxanne pointed at Bianca and herself, 'are Slytherins, and she,' now she pointed at me, 'is a Gryffindor.'

'That's what I thought. You two,' Alexa pointed at Roxanne and Bianca like they were freaks, 'are evil, just look at You-Know-Who, and needs-glasses-girl,' she pointed at me, not the best nickname I ever got, by the way, 'is reckless and stupid and, like I said, needs glasses.'

'Needs-glasses-girl? That's the nickname you're coming with? Please, try again.' Alexa looked absolutely furious now.

'I could get you expelled for, you know?'

'You've used that once already today.' I said, a bit scared.

'She speaks, my god.'

'Rowell, shove it, will you?' Bianca said.

Alexa puffed and walked off.

'Wow, Blonde Girl, that was amazing, thanks.' Bianca hugged Roxanne again, and I got in the hug too.

'No biggie.' Roxanne laughed.

Then, out of nowhere, Professor McGonagall walked up to us, 'Could you three maybe follow me back to my office?'

'Why, if I may ask?' Roxanne asked.

Would Rowell have told McGonagall already? No, that couldn't be, McGonagall came from the other way.

'You'll see. Don't worry you're not expelled, I just want to have a conversation.'

We followed Professor McGonagall to her office, and I looked at Bianca and Roxanne, Roxanne didn't look to worried, but Bianca looked about ready to pass out. I was pretty stressed, too.

Just fyi, I have nothing againts Ravenclaws, I'm one myself, I just decided to make her a Ravenclaw so she and Roxanne could have those cool fights and stuff yeah I don't know
