I am soooooo sorry! I haven't updated in YEARS because I was just fed up with this story. BUT NOW I AM BACK! Yippee!

That night, Lily didn't think she would be able to sleep. It was the night before she was due to go back to Hogwarts, and she couldn't decide what to do about James. But surprisingly, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. And the dreams began…

I was sitting in the head teacher's office, behind the desk where Professor Dumbledore usually sits. Then there was a knock at the door. Rhianna stood there and it was dark and windy behind her, as though she had just come in from a storm.

(Which makes no sense, but dreams never do.)

"I can't believe you, Lily Evans! I thought you were a friend!" she yelled, and I noticed that there was a strange echo in the room.

Suddenly, Rhianna disappeared and I was okay again. Then, just as I had stopped being frightened, Severus appeared in the doorway where Rhianna had been just before.

He said just one word. "Mudblood," before disappearing as Rhianna had done.

Then the worst figure of all appeared. Mary Shelley. She didn't speak, but just stood there, laughing at me. Then Severus and Rhianna re-appeared. All of them just standing, laughing.

"Stop it!" I cried. "Stop it!"

As if they were obeying me, they all disappeared in a flash of green light and I knew I was going to wake up (sometimes, you just know.) Just as I was rising back to consciousness, a face appeared. It was the face of James Potter. "Lily." He said.

"Lily! Oh, finally!" Lily woke, breathless, to see her mum peering over her. "I thought you were going to miss the train! You seemed to be out stone cold. Bad dream?"

Lily smiled weakly. 'Bad' was a bit of an understatement. She dressed in a trance, three words running through her mind. "Mudblood", "Mary" and "James". And echoing behind all of it was the laugh, the terrible laugh.

Lily barely even noticed as she walked through the barrier onto platform 9¾. Hannah ran up to her.

"Hey Lily! Good to see you again! You'll never guess what I got for…hey, are you alright?" Hannah asked anxiously.

Lily smiled. "I'm fine. Pick a colour. Pink or blue?"

Hannah gave her a weird look. "Pink. You know I'll always choose pink. But what on earth was that about?"

Lily wasn't listening. There had been a method behind her madness. Pink yes, blue no. It was a yes. She would take him back.

Lily's brain tried to cover up the fact that she had totally rigged that "random" selection.

It was soo a fair test!

Please review! I know I don't deserve it after leaving you in suspense for so long and totally forgetting about this story, but hey, I'm here now!
