when i grow up i wanna be famous. Lily sat by a tree, her heavy eyelids closed. The previous night, she had trekked across the grounds, walking aimlessly. Thoughtlessly. What had she been doing? She cant even remember what ran through her head. A load of pointless thoughts, no doubt. The train of her mind hadn't really had a place to go. Never really had a destination. Did she have a destination in her life? She hadn't had a moment of sleep yet, and now she was here, drifting off. She didn't want to sleep though. It was noon. The sun was peeking out behind patches of fluffy clouds every now and then. A leaf, whether red or orange, would fall down around her as the soft breeze drifted by.
She needed someone to keep her wake. She needed to be alert, but the fact that the lake before her was calm wasn't helping. It just whispered 'sleep, sleep, sleeeep...' Lily had a half of a mind to obey, but she willed against it. It was the middle of the day. She didn't want to sleep through the day, certainly not on a fine day like this one. It had been raining for weeks, and now it was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. The sun was half hiding, half shining. Lily stared into nothing. If anyone were to look into her face, they'd think she went into a sort of trance. Her face held no emotion - Perfectly neutral.
Suddenly, she sighed. She slumped her shoulders and turned her head to look around her. There wasn't a single living thing in her line of sight. The only movements were the leaves dancing,and the water shifting slowly, lazily. Maybe she should go for lunch. Get up? At that thought, Lily slipped down more, into a position where she was half sitting, half laying down. Her neck will hurt soon. Gosh she was lazy right now. She blinked, and almost didn't open her eyes. When she had opened them again, she sat up quickly, and looked around, feeling like there was a presence was somewhere. It was an odd feeling. Almost like someone was watching her.
Rolling her eyes, she pushed herself up, using her arms, moving almost as if every muscle in her body was stiff. Tired was probably a better way to describe it. When she was standing straight up, she saw a tentacle in the corner of her eye. What was that?! She stared at the place where she thought she had seen it, and frowned. She saw nothing, not even the water was rippling. Without thinking, she walked up to the edge of the water and stared, as if waiting for it to appear again. Fear didn't ripple through her veins. Instead, curiosity did. She was always more curious than cautious.
When nothing came after a long moment, Lily decided that it was just a trick of her eye. It wouldn't be the first time. In her five years, Lily had never heard of the giant squid. Seriously. No one talked about it. It was a first year rumor, and Lily never heard it. She was quite ignorant to a lot of things. Without this specific knowledge, Lily's mind had run wild. It was nothing though. That was her conclusion. She drifted back over to the large oak and sat down where had started. With the tentacle forgotten, Lily's eyelids drooped.

Albus had been on his way up to the castle from his cabin when he saw his sister. He walked up to her. "Hey Lily what are you doing?" he asked her. He felt like she was the one he could talk to in the family. With how James and his parents had been acting he felt like he had no one. He sat down next to her and leaned his back on a tree.

when i grow up i wanna be famous. She smiled to at her brother, Albus Potter. Out of James and Albus she was probably closest to Albus. However, she did love both her brothers. The only problem with her brothers was they could gang up on her and were overly-protective. She's been planning on joining the Order soon, but didn't know how her family would take it, being the little girl and all. She could take care of herself! And she didn't need their help in killing some guy that hurt her, no, she could do that all by herself.
"I'm trying to sleep," she murmured and yawned, before resting her head against her brothers shoulder, which was much more confortable then a tree trunk. "You didn't see me last night, I was walking around the grounds, I guess I must being getting better at sneaking," she said with a weak laugh. "What've you been up to?" Lily asked, before yawning once again.

Albus grinned. "Well if you go snooping around at my cabin i will take you back to the castle myself." he said. "Not much really, order stuff, groundkeeping stuff, the usual." he added then he saw a look on her face. A different look. "How about you?" he asked curiously.

when i grow up i wanna be famous. "I'm thinking about joining the order, I've been..." Lily stopped there and looked away. "I've been doing some work with the dark arts," she whispered, looking into the distance. "Don't worry though, I know what I'm doing," she turned back to her brother and reassured him. Lily didn't want him to worry about her an Niccy. There was only so much wrry and stress one person could take.
Lily averted her eyes to the ground. How could she tell her brother, she might be attracted to their enemy? No, she couldn 't tell him that. "Oh, the usual, just some guy problems. I'll have to talk to mum or Aunt Hermione next time I see one of them," that was true, she wasn't lying. Lily couldn't lie, her face gave it away, but even now when she wasn't lying she was biting her lip and her eyes showed caution.

Albus's eyes narrowed quickly, Lily, his own sister was hiding something from him. He looked down at her concern on his face. "Dark Arts? Well don't worry, our whole family are obessed with the dark arts." he said bluntly knowing it was true. James was the best at it in the school. Then an angry expression came on his face. "Boys? What boy problems?" he demanded. If any boys were even teasing her he would kill them.

when i grow up i wanna be famous. Lily had never known they were all into the dark arts, had she just been oblivious or had they never told her. The Gryffindor nodded, "Well, I just wanted to make sure. I know how You, James and Dad get." Lily rolled her eyes, over-protective was the best way to describe it.
Now she'd done it. He'd seen through her little mask. "Al, what would you say if I told you I couldn't tell you, just trust me that I can look after myself, and that I'm not being forced to do anything I don't want to. What would you say?" Lily watched with cautious eyes, awaiting his reaction.

Al pushed her away from him slightly so he could look at her better. There. He saw it in her face. Something was troubling her. "I would say no. If it was about anything else maybe, but its about boys. And you know you can tell me everything and anything Lily!" he said to her looking at her. Even if it was horrible he would always stand by herside no matter what. And he wasn't one to judge.

when i grow up i wanna be famous. Lily cursed under her breath, why could he read her face so well? She could feel tears coming threatening to come out, but she used force to hold them back. This was the first time she could not tell Albus something. She didn't always tell james because he jumped to conclusions and would often start a fight with hoever had made Lily upset.
"You're a boy, Albus. I've dealt with you and James," Lily said, knowing that was different. they were her brothers, but still. "I don't want you to fight him, I don't want you or him or James to get hurt," she said very quietly. "Al, don't you trust that I can take care of myself? Mum's already told me what teenage guys are like, I know. If he hurts me I'll come to you, but right now, I know you will tell dad, and then dad will get involved," Lily said, her eyes still slightly watery, but no tears sucesfully falling.

Al saw tears coming to her eyes and he knew it was seriously. "Lily, who is he?" he demanded. Looking at her his eyes narrowed. Something or someone was causing his sister pain.

when i grow up i wanna be famous. She yawned and looked up at him with innocent eyes. Lily found herself wondering if Scorpious was just trying to put on a bit of charm for her, but she doubted it. The Gryffindor looked away from his glare. She hated to see him like that. "Al, I can't tell you, okay? He hasn't done anything to hurt me, alright? I can't tell you because you're not going to approve," she explained.

Al looked at her his expression softened. He should let her go. He knew he didn't want his family finding out about Lancia. He shuddered at the thought of what his dad or what Draco would even do to him. He looked at Lily and nodded. "Alright, but Lily, you know i wouldn't go after this kid. If you like him, and he's treating you well. Then i won't do anything. I'm not Dad or James Lily." he said. His father told him a couple times he reminded him of the orignal Albus. Albus Dumbledore. Wise beyond years, caring, and understanding.

Al gaped at her. It took him a couple minutes to regain himself then he sprang to his feet and pulled out his wand. Breathing heavily. An angered expression on his face. But then he saw Lily look at him and he sighed and sat back down. He cleared his throat and calmed himself down and looked at her no emotion on his face. "So it is Scorpius? Well if it is, or might be or whatever i would not like it but-" he hesitated. "-if thats what you want. I will stand behind you and i suppose i will have to deal with it" he said knowing that he really couldn't deny it or he himself would be a hypocite, but SCORPIUS! His thoughts running wide but his gaze was still on her.

Post by James Sirius Potter on Nov 11, 2008 18:23:40 GMT -5
James walked slowly down the lake, clearing his thoughts. It was something he often did, he hated being cooped in the castle- he always felt trapped. It didn't take him long to hear the voices of both his siblings, Albus and Rose Potter. James took a deep breath, then continued walking until they came into eye sight. James then ran forward to them, slowing down a couple of feet away. "Hi L- Whats the matter with you too?" he asked, letting the confusion show clearly on his face. "You look like you've both seen a ghost...you know Ive never really got that muggle saying, whats wrong with gh-" he stopped himself from rambling on, "Whats the matter?" He asked seriously. (and Its Dark arts that she has been studying, not defense. James is the best at DADA...James isn't going to be as understanding as Albus. Like his name sakes he is much more hot headed =D)

when i grow up i wanna be famous. Her eeys widened, showing her begging and pleading. She knew he was in shock at first, but watched with horror when he stoof up with his wand. Lily had known this would happen, she'd known he would do this. The only problem was nothing she could say or do would change his mind, so she just looked at him with the full gaze of her peircing eyes.
What he said next took her by surprise, he actually calmed down. "Thanks Albus, if anything does happen then you have the right to kill him, but untill then, can you play nice, for my sake?" Lily asked him. "If only James and dad would be so understanding," the Gryffindor muttured. She could just imagine how her father or oldest brother would react.
Speak of the devil! James walked up to them. She quickly averted her eyes to the ground. She was a terrible liar, and didn't know if James would easily see through her. Lily hated lying, but she knew what james was like. "Don't worry James, I'm fine now," she said, her voice going a little high-pitched, like it did when she was fal-out lying.

Al nodded and opened his mouth about to say something that would comfort her and promise he wouldn't say anything when James came along. He knew his brother couldn't find out. For Lily's sake. But unlike Lily Al was a master at lying he looked at his brother. "Yeah everything is fine we were just talking about my concerns for the upcoming quidditch game." he said and he grinned at james.

'What is this? A family reunion?' Harry asked seeing a bunch of people huddled near the lake. He had been walking in the castle grounds, having got permission from Hermione to patrol it every now and then. He smiled at the three. 'How are you all doing?' He asked

"Your a terrible lier" He said to his sister, he was annoyed that she thought she couldn't trust him, but he knew it wasn't his place to make him tell her. He would find out eventually, he always did. He took a moment to look around before looking toward his brother, Albus, not trusting a word he said- He had long since learned of his brothers aptitude for telling lies. He was about to say something when his father spoke from behind them, James laughed at his words before saying "I know...I'm half expecting mum to appear..."

Harry smiled. 'Hello Lily,' He said turning to his daughter. 'How are you?' He asked. He didnt look at Albus, because he knew that Al was still angry with him

Albus looked at Lily and ignored his brother. His eyes looking at her in a searching way. He was still over come by the out come of events. When Harry came Al looked down at his feet.
