I smiled at him as I hopped in the carrige to get into the city. Luckily profeser had not gaven us detention only at night. He asked if I was cold but I shook my head no. "you know you're lucky to go on a date with me." he smirked a smile playing at his lips. I slapped his arm as we arrived. We hopped out of the carrige as snape walked by "heard you two are dating and and slogging at every chance you get, lovebirds." "I know I am very lucky snivelly, but step out of our way loser." snape stalked away as we entered "james! That wasn't nice! Just because he argued with me...." makes him a all. Time jerk. I'm paying, " he announced. He pulled out my seat very gentamely like.

I sipped my butter beers while we sat thigh to thigh,hip to hip, calf. To calf. It felt weird being so close to a guy. Suddenly abruptly he asked,"do you want to see me play. This quid ditch game on Monday against slitheryn ? Please I need moral support! Lily please?" "only if you win "I smiled. He said of course I will then we bustled out the door of the three broomsticks and while my rosy cheeks turned a icy cold as I tried to pull up the collar on my tan leather griffin door jacket. My woolen scarf, a bright red gift that had come in the mail whipped around my face blinding my sight combined with the stinging snow. We held hands even so early in our relationship. Some part of me deep deep inside knew that he was the one for for me and that we were soulmates. I told myself that these were simply schoolgirl fantasies, dating the gryfinidor quittich star. The palomino horses pawed the frozen ground as we stepped into the warm carrige. Then I realized who was in it also. It was snape. We sat in silence merely ignoring each other. Snape acted like the collar of his black sweater was the most interesting thing in the world. James smirked at him as we got out, putting his hand around my waist. I did not notice I was so deep in thought,bas we made our ways to her office. "now you insolent pests I have decided to let you two, off the hook as some would say."her straight nose wrinkled in disgust as if we were garbage. "Shoo! I have some documents to file!"she muttered under her breath waving her signature self correcting peacock quill. We scrambled out of her way and out the door. " Is it alright if I accompany you to your dorm room Ms. Evans?" he laughed sailing across the marble floors. "Not at all James , not at all !" I laughed with him. He took my slightly thawed jacket and when we arrived at the top of the stairs he gave me my jacket back but a feeling of hope. Hope that I could have a happy life ,perhaps without Snape, but with James.
When I woke up the next morning I slipped on my by far favorite robe, an emerald green one that seemed to change colors and had humongous pockets. When I went to the dining hall, breakfast under silver domes enticingly awaited. I slipped in to a seat Matilda Snadspells had saved for me. After sitting on the train with her we became fast friends. I yawned, " Mornin' 'Tilda." she had sleek black hair tied back with a silk ribbon. "Looks like someone is sleepy!" she replied. I ignored her and grabbed ham, toast ,sausage, potatoes, eggs & a glass of orange juice. I checked my schedule paper. First charms then astronomy both with James. DDA with James too. I looked at my parchment schedule which had my assignments on the back. 5 inch thick scroll for charms due Thursday. DDA spells memorized by Wednesday. Astronomy history test on Friday. " Ugh! Do they even give us breaks?" I groaned out loud. Several heads shook no. " except for the holidays mates," said a 1st year like me twirling his wand in a swirl. His buttons turned into flowers! I could barely keep awake in Charms! He must have saw my bewildered expression because he hastily added," Want a lesson? Tuesday's at 12:56 sharp, when lunch break starts.In the Gryffindor common room." he turned on his heel and went to his side of the table. Then the bell rang and off to Charms it was! James caught up with me and said," Next Friday at 5:20 when class ends ok?" "Wouldn't miss it for the world James!" I yelled back as he was catching up with Sirius. He flashed me a thumbs up sign. I felt very stressed with Jame's Quittidtch matches, home work, spells and whatnot. Who wouldn't? Plus I was missing my family and even though letters came daily I still felt homesick. When I arrived at Charms James passed a note to me reading:" Are you alright?You look very stressed." I wrote back," A little under the wheather, but mostly alright." I managed a weak smile at him which he returned with a worried glance. I seemed to barely function throughout the day until Lunch. Sleepily I walked over to the Gryffindor table with James by my side. I barely ate anything or registered that Caramel flew in with my mail from mum. As usually there was something homemade, this time it was socks. They were striped with matching gloves. Inside of each finger of the glove was a piece of candy. Peppermint sticks, chocolate, lemon drops, licorice sticks & regular jelly beans. This time on pink paper Mum's note read," For my sweetheart at wizarding school. Hugs! Mum" A single lonely tear streaked down my face. Oh how much I missed my family! Even jealous Petunia. James showed me his letter it was rainbow ink on curliced paper. He read out loud," James dearest, I hope you are doing well in classes, but Charm's was never one of my strong suits. I heard that you made the Quittidtch team so good for you! Your father was a chaser but never decided to upgrade to a seeker like you. A seeker in our family, won't Aunt Alice be proud James? I miss you but your younger brother Samuel can't wait to go to Hogwart's too! The house is so quiet now with mostly everybody gone but John is home for a short visit, he sends his best wishes and good luck on homework . You are writing your scrolls accurately I hope? Don't be afraid to ask for help you know that right? Hogwart's is cold so I am knitting a maroon blanket for your bed to keep you nice and toasty. Are you eating healthy? If you are to do well in school you must eat good! Well I just had to get that nagging out, since I am Your mum and can not watch you every second now. Love, mum" James took a long gulp of water and a deep breath. "WHEW!" he said. I laughed and then said," Boy does your mom send long notes! My mum justs sends little notes and gifts. Well I have to go to a Charm's study session now." I informed him. He nodded and gave me a bear hug. I rushed off to the comman hall room where the Charm's tutor was waiting. On a able sat some scrolls,pens, ink, and parchment paper. ( now y'all decide what's gonna happen! Do you like my posts far?)
(one thing i dont get is that Lily is falling for James when this is suposed to be a Lily and SEVERUS story)
Well it is called a story and all can be made by the authors hands
So please deal with it. So yeah, anything can happen
Ok but i prefer severus no offence james lovers!
It could just be suspension;) Let's see what happens next. Love your style Angel! (Oh yeah, we also changed that they were in third year cos of the heaviness of the story and the quidditch side of things :))
The study session went well. Aviary Molten, the talented charms genius of a first year, managed to convince me that it really wasn't that hard. He'd lied a little though, and gotten charms and transfiguration a bit mixed up. He was outstanding at transfiguration and great at charms. By the end of his slightly demeaning lecture/lesson, I was fairly confident that the only reason I was having trouble was because I was utterly bored by the simplicity of the spells. If I concentrated hard enough and didn't fidget (which I discovered I was doing as well) I could actually perform all of the needed spells quite well, and then some. Aviary was good at teaching me but he was a breathing-down-your-neck kind of person and I decided to remember all the advice he gave me and never have a lesson from him again.
It was after last period on Wednesday when Severus actually looked me in the eyes and talked to me for the first time in what seemed to be ages.
"Hi Lily," he said solemnly.
"Sev, you're talking to me?" I may have said that a lot colder than I meant it.
"Yes," he said a little sharper. "I was wondering if we could rectify the friendship?"
I thought about it.
"Yeah," I said with a smile. "I think we should." I could see that rare slight smile he almost never wore playing on his lips.
"I really am so sorry--" he began abruptly.
"Don't," I said. "Just forget about it, alright?"
"'Kay." And that was that.
Severus still gave James cold glares every time he held my hand or put his arm around my waist, but at least I wasn't dead to him anymore.
I think Severus had a thing for spilling his guts in empty corridors to me after last period on weekdays. It was Thursday and Severus pulled me aside after Potions.
"Lily, if I could avoid this, I would do anything and everything to do so, but there's something you need to know." He was a little pink in his usually grey-ish pale cheeks.
"What is it?" I asked, suspicious of his unusual demeanor.
"Merlin, this is hard to say..." he paused and looked me straight in the eyes. "Lily, I like you. Not just as a friend, I like you a lot. And I'm going to do absolutely nothing about it, except for one thing--"
And what I was about to say was stopped by a light kiss.
Like every unprepared idiot, I ran away and locked myself in my dormitory for most of the afternoon.
Matilda came up and opened the curtains of my four-poster and sat next to me.
"There is definitely something wrong," she said, taking in the sight of my hugged knees and clenched teeth. She was right, at the time, I was planning all the different was to kill Severus. If I told James, he'd probably punch him to the hospital wing. Even if he isn't the violent type, I can't exactly see James being overly happy about it.
"Yes, just a little stressed..." I said quietly, my brain humming in activity.
"You've been stressed before and this is not your stressed aura." She waved her hands about in a ghostly way, impersonating my 'aura'. Her and her Divination... top marks in every assessment and assignment. I just saw a lot of fog and cloud in my glass ball. But apparently Matilda could see all sorts of things in the future.
"Oy!" she snapped her fingers in front of my face and I focused on her once more. "What's going on Lily?" She demanded. I hesitated for a moment, then launched into my silly little tale. I couldn't pinpoint why, but I was PEEVED OFF. I wasn't entirely sure whether it was at Severus, either. I couldn't tell.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Matilda said with a harsh laugh. "And you just ran away?" I nodded.
"Know what, Lily? Good for you." I was shocked at first but then I rolled my eyes, Matilda had never been fond of Sev and this could be the final severing of the tether linking us together.

(nice!!!!!! write more! BTW you've turned things around now)
(Hey, I'm new here, so Matilda's her friend, Severus admits he likes Lily, James is Lily's boyfriend, am I right?)
OH NO!!!!! WE FORGOT ABOUT PETER PETTIGREW!!!!!
" Matilda I am just so confused! I like Severis as a friend, and James as a boyfriend but I don't wan't to hurt Sevuris's feelings. What do I do? I mean I am not very experienced in the area of boys so...... " I trailed off. " Sleep on it Lily and maybe the answer will come to you soon. Night Lily." I snuggled underneath my toasty warm bed sheets mulling over a speech to Severus in my head. Both him and James were kind but could I just dump them both and find someone else? I cried into my pillow at the hardness of life. If I was not a wizard but had still met Snape we could be together but I knew nothing would ever be that easy. Besides Matilda didn't like Severus so now I had a chance of losing my one and only friend. Thoughts swirled like a raging hurricane in my head. Exhausted but thirsty I conjured some watering a glass (much thanks to Aviary Molten!) and sipped. I fell back asleep listening to Matilda's steady snore.I set my glass back down on the bedside table and soon I was out like a light.
So I know there is some James supporters and Severus supporters. Starphyn and I will talk it over and decide. A story awaits us!!!!
Starhyphen,
How do you think the story should go? James or Sev? Please reply ASAP!
How do you think the story should go? James or Sev? Please reply ASAP!
(Then let's do something!)The next day, when I was going to talk to James, he simply glared and thought I was invisible!
He walked past through me! Taking that, I knew our relationship was OVER.
I was about to follow him when a voice said:
"Ahh! Such lovely couple! Such a waste"
I turned around,a mousy boy looked at me with evil eyes. "You.." I tried to remember.
"Me!" he replied.
"You are James's friend..Peter Pettigrew!" I exclaim, then I grit my teeth, "Traitor.."
"I don't think so!" he laughed.
"Poor James..his girlfriend is betraying him on his back..kissing with the enemy!"
"What did you tell him?" I growled.
"Oh, I just happened to pass by, and saw you two love birds K-I-S-S-I-N-G as you Muggle say it!" he laughed and let me alone, to unravel my humnogous fury.
I swore that I would never forgive Peter pettigrew.
In the morning I decided to tell James. When I did he turned a violent shade of red. " OOOH THAT LITTLE @&$#%*! I will kill him! Mark my words!
(We could always kill Sev off... It is, after all, fanfic >:) hehe. Maybe not. Let's mull it over with Anita.)
Anita says we should vote.
Everyone say what you'd like to happen.
We will vote once all ideas have been expressed.
Go for it!
Everyone say what you'd like to happen.
We will vote once all ideas have been expressed.
Go for it!
I LUV SEV! KILL JAMES OFF!
WE HAVE A SUGGESTION!
ALL OPPOSED, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!
LET THE VOTING...BEGIN!
ALL OPPOSED, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!
LET THE VOTING...BEGIN!
Don't kill Sev, but it'd be good if she ends up with James.
damn i need more severus lovers
damn i need more severus lovers
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(So any of you want to continue this?)Then James looked at me directly at my eye.
"Anyways, I'll send him to the hospital wing later, first, what were YOU doing kissing Snivelly?"
"I wasn't!" I shouted.
"Uh-huh" he rolled his eyes.
It seems as if everyone has different spin on this and wants her to end up with someone else do you think we should just continue this story and whoever gets to the part where she chooses whomever and likes whomever writes and everyone else follows. Lets just continue the story and see where this story ends up since we all have different minds and want something else. Sorry if I confused you guys. Its just now I see that theres an equal amount of people who want lily/severus and want James/Lily and that we just continue it and see where it ends up. Tell me if you agree thank you
(Sure thing!)
"C'mon, James. I haven't even kissed you yet!" I growled at him. "So why would I even think about kissing Sev when he's only just started talking to me again?! Take it with a grain of salt and harden up James!" I whipped around and stalked down the corridor and into the Great Hall for dinner.
Aviary and Matilda claimed the seats on either side of me. Aviary immediately demanded why I hadn't turned up for any more lessons, he was about to start charging me a sickle and two knuts for the next few lessons and apparently I put him out of a lot of money.
"Aviary, I don't need tuition, I'm doing fine in class," I said almost angrily, a little sick of his incessant jabbering. Thankfully Matilda had the brains to do something about it. She shoved a chicken leg into his mouth and told him to shut up. Aviary obliged, though unhappily and talked to the person next to him, a first year girl with black eyes and a mouth that was constantly pursed in thought.
"So what are you going to do?" Matilda asked me through a spoonful of rice and curry. I'd been thinking about nothing else and had reached a decision.
"Well, I don't want to do this... but... Well, I want neither of them in my life anymore, Matilda. I think they're both going to have to go..." I said slowly and quietly. Matilda's eyebrows shot up in surprise and she clapped a hand over her mouth.
"But James is great Lily!" She whispered.
"Yeah, well, he's thinking of bullying Sev into never talking to me again, and Sev currently has his own version of a book on creating your own spells. And I'm not convinced he using it to turn a lake into pumpkin juice. They're both deathly smart and just as dangerous, and I'm the only one keeping them at each other's throats. So I've decided the best thing for us all is that I get neither as a friend nor boyfriend..." I trailed off, Matilda was still thoroughly gobsmacked. Then she abruptly threw her hands in the air, saying: "It's your life, Lily." And that was it for the rest of dinner.
(Remember, the break-up/friendship-loss isn't necessarily forever. Continue on!)

(Remember, the break-up/friendship-loss isn't necessarily forever. Continue on!)
(wow nice twist!)After dinner i went back into the girl's dormitories, where I decided how to break the news to Severus and James. I decided to write a letter. It had the same message but each with a different name.
Dear James/Severus...
(Someone else continue the letter!)
In the middle I stopped writing. " I just cana't do this Matilda!" I whined. " Well what are you gonna do?" " Make up with James " I sullenly replied. " But I thought.... you didn't want anything to do with either of them?" she replied a confused look on her face. " Well think again"
I got out of bed and walked over to the boys dormitory. I used my wand as a light and went over to jame's bed. I heard him murmmur " Lily" in his sleep. I gently shook him awake " Wha Wha?" he said surprised after I woke him up.I took him out to the boys balcony to talk. " James I really like you asa boyfriend and Snape as a friend so don't get confused, and..." I managed to get the words out. " i love you and I don't want you to dump me!" I started to sob while he stroked my hair. " lily don't cry, I just got mad because well you and Snivelly...." " James! Do you think i would dump him for you? " No." he sheepishly replied. " And i'm about to do something i think I'd never do." And then he kissed me fully on the lips passionately. And unlike when Snape kissed me I didn't run away unprepared.I bathd in the splendor of his full attention. his kiss made me fill up with a warmth from head to toe. " Oh! We might get caught out so late! Tomorrow here at 1:30 am sharp." I was dissapointed my first kiss with him had ended so suddenly but i nodded. " Good" he replied and slipped out like night. ( I know this is mushy gushy and all Snape supporters hate me but this a LOVE STORY RIGHT?!
When I woke up I remembered kissing James and our meeting tonight. But today was the quittidch game! I put on a red sweater, gold scarf, red and gold striped hat. When I went to breakfast all of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were wearing their team colors. I decided to sit next next to James and Matilda. James smiled at me a scooped garangutan amounts of foood onto his plate. " Gotta keep my stregnth upi for the game!"he said witha mouth full of food. " Chew with your mouth closed!" as I slapped his hand. Matilda adjusted her gold knee high socks that matched her trainers and and hair ribbon in her sleek black hair. Everyone was so excited! It felt like drinking a gallon of coffee with extra excitement added.Even today was a special breakfast! Gold colored sausage and Red poatoes filled the table. owls flew around in a frenzy caught up in the noisyness not being able to find the roosting nest! (plaese tll me if I got the colors for gryffindor wrong and excuse me for bad grammar and punctuation the words flow and I dont worry a bout punctuation or grammar for now. Isnt that what editors are for? sorry about all the ands.)
(FREAKING BRILLIANT, ANGEL!!! Grammar and punctuation excused, good on ya for going straight to the snog!)
The Ravenclaw team captain two tables away was having a very in-depth discussion with the rest of the team, sending James and Gryffindor edgy glances. As complete rivals of Gryffindor, the Slytherins were trying their best to get to the Gryffindor team. James was the youngest on the Gryffindor team and they made a real show of putting him off.
"Think you can keep that down, Potter?" A boy in his fifth year and a gnarly face snarled at him. In my fury, I almost casually flicked my wand at him and grass began to sprout from his nose, ears and even his mouth.
"Aaa!" He said in a muffled yelp as his speech was obscured by large tufts of tussock grass.
"Keep your mouth shut, Slytherin," I growled, removed the curse and replaced it with one that completely sealed off his mouth. Most of the hall was watching now.
"Owned by a third year, Elgore!" Someone yelled, causing everyone listening to collapse into laughter.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder, James, and he shook his head solemnly.
"Remove it, you'll get into trouble," he said. I rolled my eyes and said the counter curse and he was free to speak again.
"Now go away," I said pleasantly, he didn't need to be told twice! I sat back down and the hall went back to its usual business.
"Lily, quick! Perform three harmless spells!" Matilda said warily to me as she watched a teacher approach the table. Professor Elsordy, just my luck. I put my hands under the table and quickly set off three harmless spells--the boy opposite me winced a little.
"Sorry!" I mouthed. He seemed unbothered.
"Making trouble again, Miss Evans!" It wasn't a question, she was actually stating it without proof.
"No, Professor," I said as innocently and confused as I could.
"Hand me your wand, Evans."
"Sure..." I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to her.
"Prior Incantato!" She said quietly. Blue sparks shot out of my wand, she said it again, purple sparks, again, a small fire. The memory of a standard wand is only three spells back. She handed it back to me and she kind of... growled.
"My eye is on you." And she left us to be.
It was cold and windy at the match and rain had just started to drizzle down. Neither James nor the Ravenclaw Seeker had spotted the snitch yet.

well mostly its me and Starhyphen.....
Suddendly the snitch flew in James direction! He chased afetr it and caught it! Whoops and cheers erupted from our side of the stadium. " GO JAMES! I LOVE YOU!" I yelled out no one heard me.
((Add whatever you want, Rachel. Snape kissed Lily, James kissed Lily, Lily was going to break up with James and de-friend Snape, no news for the Snape thing, James and Lily are good. Matilda hates Snape. They are at the quiddich game.))
Thank goodness. If anyone had, it would've been embarrassing!
As soon as the team was on the ground, I raced over and encased James in a bear hug.
"You won, you won, you won!" I chorused, several others joined in. The cheering and booing was deafening. James pulled my face up to his and kissed me for longer than I could ever anticipate. Wolf-whistles started by the Gryffindor chasers set off a chained reaction when he finally released me. I felt all warm and fuzzy, even though the weather was freezing me almost to the bone. Someone threw towels at the teams and they retreated off into the changing rooms.
That afternoon in the common room, the die-hard fans made up a song they chanted for James, who was smiling broadly.
"Potter sought the snitch he seeks
The Seeker of Gryffindor
It flew into his open palm
And made the final score!
Gryffindor! Gryffindor!
Cheer your cheers, clap your hands
Stamp your feet for Gryffindor!"
I couldn't help grinning from ear to ear, it was just so fantastic. Matilda had gone into an unoccupied corner with one of the chasers and they were flirting heavily. I snorted with laughter as I caught a word of their conversation: "You have beautiful eyes" and "No, YOU have beautiful eyes". They were staring intently, it was the most focused I'd ever seen her. These were her waters to navigate. An area I was greatly stunted in.
I pointed my wand in the air.
"Minio Flamius!" I yelled. Miniature fireworks shot out of the end of my wand and burst about harmlessly.
"You've got to teach me that!" Sirius said gaping at me.
The partying went on well into the night, people brought trays of food from the kitchens and lollies were scattered everywhere.
It was a blast!
Thank goodness. If anyone had, it would've been embarrassing!
As soon as the team was on the ground, I raced over and encased James in a bear hug.
"You won, you won, you won!" I chorused, several others joined in. The cheering and booing was deafening. James pulled my face up to his and kissed me for longer than I could ever anticipate.

Dear Lily the note said.I saw the whole thing out in the Quidich Match, but I'm not mad at you, just a little dissapointed. I thought you could've done so much better than that. Do not mail me back, you're still my friend I just need time to cool down.
From your friend
Severus
I stared hard at the letter, disbelief in my eyes. I thought Severus didn't like Quidich... It must have been awfull.... I should've told him.
Despite his plea for me to practically ignore the letter, I sent one back anyway in my lunch break.
Sev,
I know you said not to write back but, you know that's impossible. Things have been...unfair lately and I'm sorry if I contributed to it. I have this weird feeling that everything's about to fall down and crumble.
I hope you've cooled down enough by now.
Your friend
Lily.
I then went off the Transfiguration with James Sirius and Remus. Remus was looking haggard, no wonder he'd been off school for the past couple of weeks. He really looked awful and food deprived. I strayed behind Sirius and James, who were talking animatedly about the quiddich match again, and walked beside Remus.
"Hey Remus," I said. He whipped his head up as if stunned to see me there.
"Oh, hi Lily." He was glum alright...
"Are you okay? You look like you haven't eaten in days." He just shook his head.
"I'm fine Lily," he said with a weak smile that seemed to cause a lot of effort. "I'm just...a little ill." I nodded and said nothing more of it as we entered the classroom.

(You might need to fill me in with a few simple things, like teachers' names. And sorry if i get something wrong)I was next to James for this lesson, and because of it- we didn't learn that much.
"Lily." James whispered as the professor continued his/her lecture.
"Yeah." I whispered back.
He passed me a note from under the table. There was only one thing written there;
7:30
I nodded, writing see you there and passed it back.
We met on his balcony of the gryffindor common hall.
We sat on the two velvet armchairs. I sat in his lap as he stroked my hair. We saw several owls delivering mail. " I wish I could preserve this memory in a bottle forever and when I felt down I would just open it."" mE too." i whispered.
He smiled, and hugged me. I giggled. This moment was one to remember forever.
But it didn't last for long.
An owl swooped low over our heads and dropped a piece of parchment in my lap. I'd never see the owl before, it was an eagle owl with fierce eyes and a razor of a beak. The owl didn't stay to await treats or anything, it just left, flapping lazily in the slight breeze. I looked at the the letter:
Miss Evan's,
We regret to inform you of a tragedy that has taken place.
Maisy Camren was found dead in her home bathroom yesterday (Thursday the 11th of December) at a quarter past twelve in the morning. Reasons for her death are currently unknown. Suspicion of an Unforgivable Curse has been ruled out.
Hoping you are well,
G.H.
As soon as I reached the last sentence, it curled up into flames and instead of parchment, my hands held a small pile of ash.
"I'm so sorry, Lily," James said, obviously expecting me to cry or something. "Did you know her well?"
"James, I didn't know her at all. I don't know who Maisy Camren is." He froze.
"What about G.H.? Do you know them?" He queried.
"No, but I suppose they're a member of the Ministry..." We stared confused at each other, then at the mound of ash in my palm. I pulled out a vial from my cloak and, using my wand, coaxed the ash into it. As soon as I stoppered it, it began to rise up and swirl about like grainy smoke. I ogled at it in wonder.
"What on earth is this?" I said vaguely.
"I...don't know..." I was almost surprised, James didn't usually not know.
"I'll go to the library tomorrow," I decided.
"Why not now?" James asked with a sly look.
"Because we'll get caught, stupid," I said, brushing some hair out of his eyes.
"No we won't." He reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out a silvery piece of fabric. It was fashioned kind of like a cloak. I touched it tentatively. It was cold, even though it had been in his pocket for goodness know how long. It was very light and seemed to slither gracefully rather than fall over our heads. It was big enough for the two of us.
"What use is this?" I asked as we started to walk.
"Have a look from the outside." I got out from under it and looked at James. Except he wasn't there. I gasped in surprise and admiration.
"It's an Invisibility Cloak!"
"Yep," I heard James say. I tried to pinpoint his location but he was very quiet. Then, without warning, when I was still staring at the space where I was before, I feel his breath as he whispered to me.
"Freaky, huh?" He said, right next to me.
"Where did you get it?" I asked, getting back under it. He shrugged.
"Hand-me-down."
We silently crept along the corridors and hallways until we came to the library. It was locked, but not magically.
"Alohomora," (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) I whispered and the lock clicked open and the door swung ajar. We entered and looked over the sections about the Ministry of Magic. We flicked through books searching for anything 'G.H.' or 'Maisy Camren' related.

(coooooooooooooooool!)
" I found out in : The Ministry to Most Recent that G.H. can either be George hamlton from 1678 or Gertude Heatherbee's" james whispered. " Maisy used to own a teashop in diagon Alley but retired 6 years a go to spend time with family. Her last reported activity is a year ago when she did a book signing of The Best Beauty Spells, Voulume Sixteen Calluses of The Foot. " Blech! No thank You!" I said. "She is has no descendants a HogWarts but Mrs.Gertude declares a holiday for everyone." " Do you know what thatmeans?!" H excitedly toldme. " What?" " I get to spend a whole day at Hogsmeade instead of an afternoon with my favorite person... you lily Evans!" I sqeauled happily a kissed me on the lips." Shh! Don't wake up the entire castle!" he whispered softly into my ear. He nuzzled my neck and I skipped off to my bed.
(Sorry, i didn't really understand hat last post. But i'll try to continue.)Shortly after my head hit the pillow, i had a very unusual dream....
I was walking in a dark shop. The shelves were lined with unusual books, with even queerer titles. One particular book caught my attention. I vaguely remembered seeing it somewhere, it was titled 'The Best Beauty Spells' By Maisy Camren.
(I think i did alright)
