Don't read unless you have read the updated chapter before this! I changed the ending so if you didn't read it, this will confuse you!

Remember class, a 16 inch essay on the advantages and disadvantages of Polyjuice Potion will be due next time!" Professor Slughorn announced to the class. They groaned in response.

The fourth years didn't even have O.W.L.s and they were still bombarded with homework.

"Hey, we got exams though," Hugo told Lily. She found that they didn't get to spend very much time with each other anymore.

"True, but I think my homework weighs more than me, Hugo!" Lily exclaimed. She brushed her hair out of her face. "I have to go, I got Quidditch practice." She gave her cousin a quick hug then started to run to the Slytherin common room.

Just last year she became Slytherin Seeker just like her dad and his dad before that. The only difference was that they were Gryffindor and she was Slytherin.

She dropped her stuff onto her bed in the girls' dormitories, then changed into her Quidditch robes, pulling her hair into a messy ponytail after. She picked up her own Firebolt 2000, then ran quickly out of the Slytherin house to the Quidditch field.

Unfortunetly, Malfoy was a beater. Clara was Keeper on the team though. Lily stood next to her as the Captain, Dare Hart, came to stand in the middle of the circle.

"Okay, we're going to try a new tactic today. Lily, you will stay up above everyone else to look for the Snitch, Clara keep out the Quaffel of the other team as usual, Beaters will do the same, but Chasers, today I want to try something. I'm going to stay closest to the goals, Haley, you're going to try to get the Quaffel from the other team, pass it to Cole, then Cole, pass it to me, and I will throw it in," Dare explained.

Everyone nodded then mounted their brooms. Lily circled the stadium as her team practiced below. Tomorrow was the first game of the season against Gryffindor, and she wanted to crush her brothers, who were both on the team. She wasn't enemies with Gryffindors like the Slytherin, but it was just natural that she wanted to beat her brothers, especially since this was James's last year.

Dare's plan didn't work out so well. When Haley passed the Quaffel to Cole there was no one to block the other team from flying in to steal the Quaffel. Dare started cursing. "Back to what we were doing before then," he grumbled, disappointed that his plan didn't work.

So Haley, instead on passing it to Cole, flew with it to Dare and threw it to him a yard away, and he sent it sailing into the middle hoop.

As Lily was circling the Quidditch field, something hit her hard in the back, and sent her flying off her broom to the ground. The wind blocked out her screams as she went hurdling towards the ground. Someone grabbed her arm when she was 50 feet above the ground and slung her over the broom. She didn't know who her savior was, but she gripped the person tight as she passed out.

She was lying on something hard and damp. Lily let her eyes open. Five people were standing over her with concerned faces. Her whole Quidditch team minus Malfoy.

"What happened?" she asked, sitting up.

"Someone accidently sent a Buldger at you," Clara told her.

"Malfoy?" She already knew it was him.

Clara shook her head. "No, Daniels was trying to send it past you but it hit you instead. Malfoy saved you, Lily," she said.

Dare barked at the other players to get back on their brooms while Clara lead Lily to the hospital wing.

"Why would he save me? He calls me stupid and then he saves me! This doesn't add up! Clara, are you even listening to me?" Lily asked her friend who was oggling at a couple who were snogging in the hallways.

Clara shook her head. "Sorry, what? Oh, yeah, no it doesn't make sense..."

Lily rolled her eyes and stayed silent for the rest of the way to the hospital. "Oh, hello, dears, how can I help you?" Madam Pomfrey asked them.

"Uh, I sorta fell of my broom at practice because of a buldger, but someone caught me, but I passed out," Lily told her.

Madam Pomfrey motioned for them to come over her. She lifted up the back of Lily's shirt and touched her back and she winced. "Just a nasty bruise, you'll be alright."

"But why did I pass out? I didn't hit the ground, and the Buldger hit my back not my head." Lily explained.

"It could've been shock, just be glad you're all right. Now I am very busy." Madam Pomfrey hastily ushered Lily and Clara out of the hospital wing.

Clara grabbed Lily's wrist and pulled her back out to the Quidditch field. "We're done practicing," Dare told them. "Just get to bed early and eat a good breakfast tomorrow. I'm prepared to kick some Gryffindor butt."

Lily and Clara walked back inside the school talking about how much homework they had but Clara had more because she was having her O.W.L.s this year. "They always give us a lot of homework in fourth year. But in fifth year... Oi..." They rounded a corner. What Lily saw almost gave her a heart attack.

It was Liam and some brunette snogging. Lily covered her mouth with her hand in shock. "Liam?" she choked out.

The two people broke a part. "Oh, hi, Lily...," Liam said nervously.

Lily glared at him like she was about to murder him. "I hate you," she said slowly, then ran back outside. Thankfully, Clara was smart enough to not chase after her.

The wind outside whistled that night. Lily was supposed to be in bed by now, but she never actually left the Quidditch field. She sat in one of the seats in the stands in a corner where no one could see her.

People probably noticed she was missing, but no one could see Lily in her dark corner.

The icy winds bit at her exposed skin and gave her goose bumps. She pulled up her robes tighter around herself. She hasn't cried and wouldn't. It was stupid to waste tears on a guy like Liam.

Yes, she was upset, but she wouldn't waste her life away like most girls did when their boyfriends cheated on them.

Maybe she trusted all the wrong people and hated the wrong ones as well. The only person who hasn't let her down yet was Clara.

Lily was barely aware of someone sitting down next to her. "Lily?"

She didn't look over at the owner of the voice, she knew who it was. "James," she said to him.

"What's wrong?" Something fell over her, which she recognized as the Cloak of Invisibilty. He must of stolen it from Albus.

Lily laid her head on her brother's shoulder. "I saw Liam snogging another girl in the corridors today," she said bitterly.

Even though she wasn't looking at him she knew he was glaring. "I never trusted that piece of scum." He started mumbling what he was going to do to Liam, using words their parents wouldn't approve of.

"James," she said gently. "I don't want you or Albus to do anything to Liam. I just want to pretend I never knew him and nothing happened. Besides, tomorrow when we kick your butt in Quidditch-"

"You mean when we beat you in a polite but awesome manner-"

Lily shook her head laughing. "No, I know what I said. When we beat you, I will be happier than ever."

"Keep dreaming, little sis," James said. They both laughed together for a little while. "Now, I really think we ought to get to bed before we get three weeks of detention. Not that I care about getting detention, but I don't want to miss the Quidditch match tomorrow."

Lily nodded, and together, under the cloak, walked off the field into Hogwarts. She slipped out from under the cloak at the entrance to the dungeons and made her way to the common room. It was empty when she got there.

Smiling at herself she walked up to the girls' dormitories and went to bed as soon as her head hit the pillow.

So... How was it? GOOD? BAD? TERRIBLE? TELL ME! Isn't Liam a rat? REVIEW! And tell me what you want to see happening! LALALLALALAL SMURFETY SMURF SMURF!

Review! :P
