Chapter 2 - 'Impossible?'

*September 1st 1996*

Lily mentally planned in her head to visit Professor Flitwick about the strange occurence.

Muttering , Lily bit her lip , "I'd probably say it was the Giant Squid.. but why-"

"What was that, Evans?"

"Well. This was nice, and everything. But I think I'll go and join the feast now" , Lily through gritted teeth, scooped up her bag and inclined her head politely.

"I'll come. I'm starving anyway." Lily threw him a shrewd look, but then began to walk -quite gracefully- up the hill, on which was now casted with tall shadows. The only light source was the shimmering moon; the darkness had arose startingly quickly.

Lily could smell the aromas of blueberry and cream and buttery pastry wafting through the smoky night air- that was when she tripped over an ock jabbing out of the grass.

James steadied her , watching her wrist delicately. His hazel eyes glittered as he arched one eyebrow.

"Watch yourself , Evans".

"Thanks... Potter" , grumbling she shrugged her wrist out of his grasp. She knew her face was flushing as James luckily fell into step behind her.

Then, they both walked in silence and the only noise which could be heard was wildlife, the distant laughter and chatting of children and the soft padding of their feet on the grass. As they reached the doors to the Great Hall, Lily hovered before entering , and stared at James.

"What? We'll miss dinner altogether if you keep hanging around...why don't you just say yes to a date-"

"No! "

Why did he make her so irritated?

"I just -oh-I - nevermind".

She then, gripped the proud golden handles on the Great Hall's doors, and pushed both of them forward with all her might to see the usual extravagant feast, the bewitched ceiling swirling with indigo and silver to make up the enthraling night sky. She could hardly hear anything except from the excited chatter of children.

She wasn't exactly focused, and neither was James. She had only taken one step forward when James decided to intervene with her plans to join her friends and eat- and be well, James.

"Oh go on , tell me Evans. What were you staring at, eh?" James teased with an arrogant smirk and Lily whipped her head around so quickly her neck cricked.

"A git".

"How's your nose, Harry?" Hermione stressed, observing it from all angles. Harry resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Fine , Hermione. Honestly".

"You should really do something about it you know. You did say it was aching dully, even if Tonks did do an excellent job fixing it", she trailed off grimacing to herself. She noticed Harry's quite gloomy and darkened eyes, which were usually so animated. She knew the cause, and felt overwhelming compassion to help do something for him- though Sirius was gone. And Harry was coping quite well under the circumstances.

"Hermione, it doesn't even hurt. It only got broken and it's fixed now. Just forget about it".

Harry sat beside Ginny with Hermione and Ron opposite them. Harry vaguely wondered as he moved around his treacle tart with his spoon , why he was so aware of Ginny in such close proximity.

"You're just always covered in blood Harry. What do you get up do?" Ginny inquired narrowing her eyes , playfully smirking. Harry also had no idea why his cheeks blazed bright red at this comment. He looked away from Ginny to see Ron laughing with Seamus, oblivious. Hermione was looking down at her hands biting her lip as if trying not to break into a knowing smile.

Now he was miffed and embarrased for no apparent reason. He had the distinct impression that he was missing out on some inside knowledge.

Harry just started to eat more of his tart.

It was then, when Hermione looked up from her plate at the unclear sounds of the doors opening , and raised voices at the middle end of dinner. And Hermione being sceptical , lingered her gaze.

There was a stunning redhaired woman which can be the only description. She could have only been around her own age at 5 foot , wearing Hogwarts uniform but without a cloak; her crimson and gold tie was shortened so the knot was extremely loose, the top minature button of her shirt was undone, and she had her hands on her hips in a temperament fashion, facing the 5,5 man behind her, who looked around the same age though apparently leaving youth.

It was him who had Hermione. Although his face was obscured by the girls auburn wavy locks , there was no escaping that raven head like a birds nest, the circular glasses resting on the crook of the nose and oval face anywhere. Oh Goodness, even his build and squared shoulders were the same.

It was Harry..but it wasn't. Minor differences could be spotted from afar- and Harry was sitting right in front of her.

She suddenly realised the impossible-it was Harry's dead parents. Now she recalled seeing them in long ago cheerful pictures from the many books she had read based on Harry's life.

She nearly fainted with the mere impossibility of it all.

It was like seeing ghosts in front of her... her heart dropped to her stomach , and she was awed with sorrow to see the people his best friend had needed all his life.

The ones he had never known. Never seen. Hermione questioned her sanity as nobody else around her seemed to notice the two quarreling teenagers.

Her face colour dissolved into a mushy porridge, and she squealed and fell backwards off the bench.

Impatiently and now embarrased, she got back up as the Gryffindor's around roared with friendly laughter.

"Are you alright,Mione?" Ron spluttered.

"Hermione, what made you do that..?"

This wasn't the time- it occured to her to notify Harry and the others, but would that be right for Harry, who was still dealing with the loss of Sirius? She hastily turned to look over at the high table, and there was only one teacher who had noticed the two visitors, Dumbledore; he had a solicitous and alarmed expression on his face.

She scrambled out of her seat, ignoring the confused calls of her friends.

Aware that nearly everyones eyes was on her (but maybe that'd take the attention away from... the visitors) , she sprinted up the length of the hall to the high table to talk to Dumbledore.. something that she was sure she had never seen a student do.

"Pro-fesss-or, have- you -what is- them" ,she asked in a hushed voice as she faced Dumbledore with the table between them. The other teachers stopped talking and stared incredulously, some dumbfounded at Hermione's disrespect.

"I am quite aware , Miss Granger. I would advise to please go back to your seat and do your best to curb the attention.. especially from," he paused " Harry. He has suffered enough emotional turmoil, I am sure. I'm also quite certain you've realised who they are... or maybe rather, who they are not. It is best that decisions are made on this matter tommorow.. for now, I have to investigate." he bowed his head and gestured her back to her seat. Dumbledore rose and began to exit from behind the wide table.

She returned to her seat, trying not to gaze at them.

"I'll be off now Potter. As I said, I am extremely hungry-still".

Lily moved more away from James, so she was now close to the end of the Gryffindor table. James only followed so they were standing as if dictators side by side in front of the huge line of witches and wizards. A genuine smile crept onto her face at the thought of finally joining her friends who she knew would probably be wondering where she had been for most of the feast.

"Where's Alice? And the others..." she questioned herself. She realised that no one she knew was sitting at the Gryffindor table.. no one she even recognised. She at first persumed the first years were cluttering this end, but looking up and down the whole length there was only strangers.

The second years directly in front of them sitting down, noticed them and their eyes turned as wide as saucers.

Lily was to say the least- totally baffled.

"What-what?"

"I know... I mean, I see your problems Evans. I can't even see Sirius or Moony.. what the-"

"Please, Potter. What in my world is going on?"

"Hogwarts has obviously been invaded".

"Oh do be quiet please."

"Why should I Evans? You going to make me?"

"NOT THIS AGAIN. I AM SICK OF YOU TONIGHT POTTER, DO YOU HEAR ME?" Lily with the annoyingness of Potter and the now mystery and panic of how everybody was strangers, couldn't prevent her temper from activating. She clenched her fist and with the other hand, prodded James's shoulder with her index finger.

James only raised his voice more, so he was positively shouting: " HOW CAN I NOT HEAR YOU EVANS, YOU'RE SHOUTING YOUR HEAD OFF!"

"HAVE YOU HEARD YOURSELF? CAN YOU ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING THAN JUST INFURIATE PEOPLE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GIRLS?! " Lily simply exploded so that even James cowered away. She stood on her tiptoes, jabbing him.

Lily was suddenly aware of what she had just done.

She turned around awkwardly to see the befuddled gazes of everyone in the room on her. The silence in the room was extremely sudden, so a single wand could be heard dropping to the ground.

She heard several gasps.
