Not the Lily You Know

Lily's Birthday Fiasco.

DISCLAIMER: J.K. ROWLING OWNS HARRY POTTER AND ALL SONGS BELONG TO ORIGINAL ARTISTS.

I woke up and got dressed in casual clothes.

It was Saturday and I was planning on avoiding James.

After last night I wasn't sure of any of my feelings towards him.

I walked quickly through the common room and to the Great Hall.

All of my friends were already there and I sat down in between Henry and Alice.

"Morning all." I said cheerily.

"Morning Lily." They replied in unison.

I grabbed some cereal and started to eat.

As I ate, last nights events came flooding back to me.

My face flushed and I quickly finished my breakfast.

"I've got to go. Homework." I told them before standing up and almost running out of the Hall.

I walked to the RoR and paced in front of it.

'I need a cosy room to think.' I thought.

The door appeared and I walked inside.

I gasped.

It was a replica of my living room in my old home.

This brought a new wave of emotions. Sadness, depression, pain and, most of all, memories of past happiness with my parents.

I couldn't stay here.

I ran out of the RoR and towards my place by the Lake.

I lay myself on the ground, staring up at the leaves above.

I was struggling to keep my eyes tearless.

'Why? Why, why, why?' I thought to myself over and over.

I stayed there for god knows how long before getting up because of hunger pains.

I walked dejectedly to the Hall.

There was practically no one in there.

Only some first years.

I suddenly had a bright idea.

I walked out of the Hall and into a broom cupboard.

I changed my eyes and hair as well as my outfit.

I reentered the Great Hall and sat down on the Gryffindor table.

Heads turned as I sat down.

I grabbed a sandwich and started to eat. Staring back at everyone else.

I suddenly had an idea for something to do.

"I'll be right back." I said to the closest person before running out of the Hall to go find my friends.

I ran around the whole castle before I ran into them on the second floor. And I mean it literally.

Alice and I toppled over.

She scowled at me playfully.

"I need some help." I said plainly.

This was our speak for 'Come with me.'

"Okay." They replied in unison.

I jumped up and pulled them along with me.

I pulled them into an empty classroom. I locked the door and cast Muffliato on the room.
