Chapter 29- Sybll's Secret
Lily practically ran into the Gryffindor Common Room. She was in such a hurry that she knocked over a girl on her way towards Katy. The girl had such a large amount of books that she didn't get up right away. Lily mumbled a 'Sorry' and walked over to Katy, who was sitting reading a book by the fire.
"Katy, we need to talk," Lily said anxiously.
Katy looked over her friend. Lily had put on a pair od sweatpants and a Quidditch shirt. Not exactly the attire Lily Evans would be seen wearing. She hadn't brushed her hair, and the makeup from the night before was smudged on her face. She looked a mess.
"What's this about Lils?" Katy asked.
"Well, me and James went back to the Common Room and well, we got drunk," Lily said.
"I know that," Katy said.
"How do you know that?" Lily asked.
"Well, it was kind of hard not to. You, James, and Sirius nearly woke up the whole Gryffindor Tower fighting over a bottle of Fire whiskey. So, me and Remus came out to check up on you guys. Sirius was barking like a dog and you were laughing hysterically and James was belching, um, rather loudly," Katy said. "But, what is it that's wrong? It's not like you've never gotten drunk. But I do think that after fourth year you'd have learned that alcohol is not your thing."
"It's just that, well, James was challenging me to a drink and you know how much I love to show Potter up. So, I just forgot to um, stop after the first dozen gulps. Well, the thing is, I woke up this morning in James's bed, naked," Lily said.
"Well, I hate to say this hun, but you'll never really know what happened," Katy said.
"Oh, but that's not true," a voice said. Lily looked behind her to see Sybll Trelawney standing with a large pile of books, her hair askew, and her glassed perched sloppily on her nose. She had been knocked over by Lily and was wishing to have a word with her and happened to over hear their conversation.
"What do you mean Sybll?" Lily asked curiously.
"Well, I mean, that you could go back in time and see what happened. It's simple really," Sybll said.
"Um, please explain Sybll. Some of us don't have the power to read minds," Katy said annoyed. She knew that Sybll was a Divination freak and would have Lily try a stupid unorthodox method. Katy didn't believe in Divination. She found it to be an imprecise branch of magic.
"Well, Kathryn," Sybll began.
"It's Katy, not Kathryn," Katy said.
"Well, Katy, I happen to know a way to go back in time. When would you like to go back?" Sybll asked, turning to Lily after setting her books on a desk.
"Um, last night at around hmm, two o'clock," Lily said.
"Please follow me," Sybll said. Katy and Lily both got up to follow the fifth year, but Sybll turned to Lily.
"Not you. Lily is the one going back in time," she said. Katy rolled her eyes and began to read her book once more.
The two of them exited the Portrait Hole and walked to an empty classroom.
"Ok, well, I discovered I could do this in third year. Close your eyes, and relax. Think about the place you wish to end up. Place you palm on my palm and just drift," Sybll said.
Lily felt a slight tingle but didn't feel as though she had moved. She did however hear a barking sound and laughing.
She opened her eyes and found that she was in a broom closet. She cracked open the door and saw herself, James, and Sirius. Remus and Katy had just come out of the Common Room. Lily turned to Sybll.
"Why the hell didn't you think of this when we were trapped at Voldemort's house??" Lily whispered furiously.
"Maybe because I didn't care whether I left or not," Sybll hissed.
Lily continued to peer out the crack in the door. She and James were giggling and running off. She heard Katy close the Portrait Hole. She opened the door and followed the sound of footsteps and giggling.
"Ok, guess we'll see what happens," Lily said.
"You don't happen to know how to make us invisible as well, do you?" she asked hopefully.
"No," Sybll answered.
"Great," she stopped before the Heads Room and saw herself and James making faces at the poor house elf.
"But why do you tease me dear Masters?" the house elf cried.
"Hehe. We're the masters James," Lily heard herself say.
"Geez, hurry up," Sybll muttered. "You guys really were drunk. Why did you guys drink so much?"
"The Yule Ball was last night," Lily said. "Weren't you there??"
"No, I don't have any friends and no guys bother going near me, so I guess I sort of forgot about that," Sybll answered. Lily felt guilt. She hadn't even noticed Sybll since they had been stuck in a cell together.
"Ok, we're going in. I think that me and James are so drunk to even notice anyone. Come on," Lily whispered.
They entered the Heads Room in the nick of time, it was about to close. Lily saw herself and James giggling about the stupidest things.
She then heard herself say, "Are you scared?"
"Yeah I am," James said.
Lily smiled to herself. James acted so tough and arrogant in front of people but deep down he was just as scared of Voldemort and their relationship as he was. Sybll and Lily had crawled behind the couch and Lily looked up to see that she and James were kissing. Then, James stood up and almost fell over. Lily toppled onto him and was trying to stand up but found that she couldn't. James then, finally managing to stand up, lifted Lily into his arms, and stumbled into his room.
Lily crawled over to the open door and peeked in. She and James were just laying on the bed, not even kissing.
How the hell did I get naked then???, she wondered.
"Hey James, look what I can do!!" Lily said pointing her wand into the air. James had already began snoring.
Lily flicked her wand and said a gibberish spell. Well, nothing happened, other than the fact that both she and James's clothes had come off. She had giggled and climbed under the covers next to James and passed out on the pillow.
Lily stood up and looked at Sybll, apparently showing signs of relief.
"Are you ready to go back?" Sybll asked.
"Yes," Lily answered. She closed her eyes and placed her palms on Sybll's. They were the back in front of Katy who had just opened her book.
"Hello? I thought you guys were leaving?" Katy said.
"We already went back Katy! I didn't do anything. It was a total drunken accident as to why I was naked! It feels so good to know I didn't do anything. But I do know that I hate alcohol. Damn James Potter for giving me that stupid Fire whiskey!" Lily said. Katy giggled.
James then entered the Common Room as abruptly as Lily had. He was searching the Common Room, presumably for Remus, as Sirius wasn't even close to getting up.
"He's at breakfast James," Katy said.
"Oh, Potter, wait," Lily called. James walked over to her, Katy, and Sybll Trelawney.
"Sorry Sybll, but if this is about our potential children, then I am gonna have to pass," James said, seeing the fifth year start to drool.
"Ha! You're admitting that we have potential children!" Sybll said.
"No, James, this is about last night. We didn't do anything, so you have nothing to worry about," Lily said.
"Wow, that's great! That's awe-wait a second, how do you know? I can't remember a thing from last night," James said.
"Well, I um," Lily started to say but saw Sybll. She didn't feel Sybll's secret was meant to be shared.
"I remember. At least I started to. I remember that we didn't do anything. I remember casting a Nude Spell," Lily said.
"Oh. Well, I am gonna go get some breakfast. I'm starved," James said.
"Bye," the three of them called.
"Thanks Lily," Sybll said.
"Anytime. Oh, and if you need a friend, know that I'm here for you Sybll," Lily said, smiling to herself.
A/N: Now that I look back at these chapters, I don't know why I wrote them. Good chapters are approaching. Please review.
