We walked back to the castle after we heard the first thunder. Our clothes were wet -since neither of us could get bothered to cast a drying spell- and we were both humming different songs while walking down the corridors.

"Your pajamas are all muddy now." I pointed out while passing a snoring painting.

He stepped in front of me and started walking backwards. "I know. And so is your uniform."

I looked at his pajama bottom and shoes. "You look stupid."

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave me a smile. "You love me."

I shurgged as he looked behind him to make sure we wouldn't bump into something. "Funily enough I do, yeah. But I bet you love me more."

He looked back at me with a surprised look on his face.

"What? Aren't you obsessed with me, Potter?"

He stopped walking and leaned his side to the door next to us. "Maybe..." he opened the door and we entered the empty great hall.

All the houses tables were empty and the great hall was still dark. We were able to hear the raindrops hitting the windows.

He closed the door behind us and I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

He held out his hand for me to take and slowly bowed. "Milady, would you like to dance with me?"

I sighed and looked around. "Such a shame you are my only option." I gave my hand to him and we both laughed while walking towards the middle of the great hall.

He helped me get on to the Hufflepuff's table and we started spinning around.

"You know," I smiled and let him turn me around. "Emma has been really quiet lately. Don't you think?"

"Did you have to remind me that? I don't like that girl. She creeps me out."

"Well, you have to tell her that." We jumped on to the next table which was Gryffindor's table.

"Oh, and by the way." I held his hand again after spinning him around. "I know we had plans for this saturday, but I have to babysit Max again."

"What! Noooo!"

I laughed at his reaction and sat down on the table to catch my breath.

"Alice's parents wants to visit their Nana, but apparently the nursing home doesn't want kids under the age 7. And his actual babysitter is out of the country for a week."

He sat down across from me. "Okay then, Alice can baby sit her own brother."

"Yeah... but I lost this stupid bet, sooo"

"Ugh!" He layed down and I moved myself to lay down next to him.

"We can hang out on Sunday. Also, you don't have to come with me anyway. Alice's friend will be there, too."

He scoffed. "What? Her friend lost a bet too?"

I looked at him. "Actually yeah."

"I didn't know Alice was good with that kind of stuff."

"Do you have any idea how much money she makes when there is a Quidditch match?"

He closed his eyes and I watched the ceiling.

"Okay, fine. We will go on Sunday."

"Yes!" I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you. Besides, I don't want to ditch Ivan. Don't think he can handle that kid all by himself."

"Who is Ivan?"

I got on my elbows and looked down at him. "A really sweet Ravenclaw. You don't know him."

He sat up. "How old is he?"

"A year older than us. Seventeen."

"Well have fun, I guess."

*****

We finally dried ourselves and walked back to the Gryffindor common room, when students slowly started waking up.

Only a few people were awake, and Roxanne and Alice were the two of them.

I'm sorry, let me fix that.

A very angry looking Roxanne and a half asleep Alice.

"Where have you been?!"

I quickly looked at James as Roxanne got up from the couch.

James shook his head and started walking towards the stairs with big steps.

"James!" I whisper yelled but he was already up the stairs.

"I'm waiting?"

I looked back at Roxanne with a nervous smile. "Heeey, Rox. Good morning."

"Where were you yesterday? I thought something serious happened to you."

"I know, and I am so sorry. It will never ever happen again-"

"Where were you the whole night?"

"I was..."

I tried to find a good explanation.

"I was in the Forbidden Forest." Her eyes widened as I continued. "I was... walking around and got lost. Then James found me and we slept together. That's why you didn't see me."

"Why in the bloody hell did you go to the Forbidden Forrest? And how did James manage to find you in- you did what now?" We stared at each other.

I'm not sure what she wants me to say...

Oh!

"Oh! No! No not like that! No." She let out a deep breath and touched her chest. "Sleepover."

"If you ever disappear like that again..." she took out her wand and pointed it on my face.

"Okay. Sorry."

Her shoulders dropped and she put her wand away. "Come on then. It's almost breakfast time." She walked back to the sofa and shook Alice's shoulder to wake her up.

"Alice. Come on, wake up. We're gonna miss breakfast."

Alice groaned and opened her eyes. She looked at both of us and slowly got up.

"Good morning." I smiled and touched her shoulder.

She let out a loud scream and fell back to the sofa.

Both Roxanne and I jumped back with surprise, and all the students in the common room was now staring at us.

Alice started shaking her hands in the air. "What in the- Lily!"

I took a step forward. "Yes? Alice are you-"

"No! Get back! Get back!"

"Alice," Roxanne called out with a warning voice. "Did you see a nightmare or something? What the hell?"

Alice stared at me as I awkwardly stood there. She got up and slowly walked towards me while shaking her hands in the air. Like there was a fly around her.

"Lily? What happened? Are you okay?" She asked with a low voice so only I could hear her.

"I'm okay. But I don't think..." I paused when she started touching my hair and shoulder. "you are okay."

"There are so many, I don't understand how it's so... and over a single night? Ugh, I wish you could see your own aurora right now..."

I back away and pushed her hands away. "No- Alice leave my aurora alone." She tried walking towards me again and I stopped her. "And my energy. And whatever else you can see."

"My Godric." She sighed and walked towards the stairs as Roxanne and I looked at each other with worry.

"What just happened?" Roxanne asked and I shrugged.

A/N: hii!

Sorry, if this chapter is bad. I'm just out of ideas.
