A/N:

I saw some flaws in my past chapters, and that whole bright light thing seems to lead to a dead end, but I'll see if I can make it work.

Speaking of flaws...I discovered a huge one in the first chapter! I said she was going into sixth year but then I had her apparate...You don't get an apparating liscense until you turn 17, which is during/after 6th year, not BEFORE! I went ahead and fixed it, go see the changes if you like.

If ANYONE reviews with a suggestion on what to happen next, I will SERIOUSLY consider adding it in with credit to the great creative….person who thought if it.

Disclaimer: Am I J.K. Rowling? Let's think here. If I were J.K. Rowling, things would be quite different in the books we all know and love. There would be a great many more Fred and George moments, Sirius would never have died -sob-, and there would be about 12 prequels for the hilarious happenings between one Lily Evans and one James Potter.

In case you didn't understand the babble, I am not J.K. Rowling. Thus, I am but a poor, starving artist. Okay, like I said before, I will admit that I'm not starving. I just had a sandwich and a Sprite, for goodness sake!

Wasn't that the longest A/N ever? Okay. Done now...Chapter THREE!

My eyes filled with bright light, causing me to groan. I felt something soft under me and something warm over me. It took an astonishingly long time for my brain to register that I was in a bed. I opened my eyes to see white. A lot of white. And that could only mean one thing: The Hospital Wing.

I slowly sat up in the bed, muscles aching with every movement. Apparently they had done nothing to me except lay me down in this bed. I looked around, startled to see someone in the sturdy chair beside me. I almost didn't want to know who it was. My eyes traveled up the figure. I was in a daze, subconsciously admiring the muscles that were clearly visible even through Hogwarts robes. I was relieved to see messy blonde hair instead of messy brown hair, which was what I was expecting.

"KYLE!" I said, thoroughly shocked to recognize the figure.

"Red! Glad you're ok. Headmaster Dumbledore told me to take you to his office as soon as you woke." I sighed. That was Mr. Ravenclaw Superman, always down to business.

"Of course." I said, gingerly picking myself off of the bed, noticing for the first time that I was still wearing my muggle clothes.

At this point in time, I knew what Leyna, the boy-expert of our group, would tell me to do. Pretend I'm weak, and fall into his ever-muscular arms. Adrian would tell me to do no such thing, and punch him in the arm if he even thinks about laying his hands on me. Nadia, ever romantic, would tell me to smile and walk confidently, being myself and letting what happens happen. Effie wouldn't care what I did, so long as she got all the details for her gossip column of The Hogwarts Gazette.

I decided to take Nad's advice, as usual. She and I were the most alike.

I limped toward the door. Kyle tried to guide me along the way, gently placing his large hand on my small elbow. That was so sweet…

We went along that way, all the way to the odd staircase. No matter how many times I told Kyle it's like an escalator, he didn't believe muggles could have anything like that.

"Cauldron Cakes," Kyle said confidently, only seeming a little silly.

We jumped on and were on our way to Dumbledore.

--------------

The Headmaster's office?

Empty.

Kyle and I sat there for hours it seemed like, in an incredibly awkward silence. My friends will be proud to know I didn't giggle once.

Finally, Dumbledore came in, looking exhausted.

"Lily…K-Kyle…we'll need to have this meeting at another time. I have something very important to discuss with you, Miss Evans, especially, but not…now." He said, collapsing into his chair.

Needless to say, Kyle and I walked out of there before the Headmaster fell asleep.

--------------

Kyle and I were walking down a dark corridor.

"I must leave you as soon as you round that corner. If anyone asks you where I am, tell them you last saw me when I was headed for the Ravenclaw Common room." I could tell, even through the thick darkness, that Kyle was very serious about this.

"But I don't …" I began, and then, before I paid attention to where my feet were carrying me, I rounded the corner. I looked back into the darkness, but no one was behind me. Or beside me. Or in front of me, for that matter.

I stumbled all the way back to Gryffindor tower, alone in the dark. I muttered the most recent random password, "Piggy-tails," and went inside.

Dear Diary,

Here I am, safe and sound! Well, mostly. I still ache a bit and my head is spinning with questions.

What was that blinding light, back on the train, and who caused it? How did I end up in the Hospital wing? Why wasn't the infamous James Potter there to be all sickly lovey dovey about me? Where was Dumbledore when we were supposed to be having a heads meeting? What was going on with the incredible disappearing Ravenclaw, and who IS Kyle Beauregard anyway?

I just remembered that I missed the sorting… I wonder if Adrian's little brother and Leyna's little sister made it into Gryffindor. Guess I'll find out tomorrow, when classes start. Transfiguration first; oh joy…

'Night,

Lily Evans.

A/N numero dos:

Sorry for the incredibly lamey-lamey-lame and short chapter. Once classes start and Lily's re-united with her friends, which will be next chapter, it'll get more interesting, I promise!

I have a burst of inspiration, so Chapter 4 should be pretty good! I hope.

PS: I was re-reading the 6th book, as well as skimming the 5th, and found out some very useful information.

Professor Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Slughorn were all present during The Marauders' time at Hogwarts. Dumbledore may/may not have been Headmaster at this time; you would have to ask J.K. Rowling to be sure. I've decided to make him Headmaster because he became Headmaster shortly after Voldemort graduated, and we all know Voldy's older than the Marauders…all this guessing and researching is giving me a headache, and if I'm wrong, which is highly likely, count it as creative license; not everything here on fanfiction can go hand in hand with the books, right?
