Chapter Two: Reality sucks
"Great, now what am I going to do", Lily said out loud to no one in particular as she looked around for anyone approaching. There she was, out pass curfew with an unconscious professor at her feet. This did not look good.
Well, she thought, I can't just leave him here. Taking out her wand muttering “Mobilicorpus”, she levitated the wizard and started the short trek to the hospital wing, careful not to bump the professor into the roof or walls as she directed him ahead of her.
When she arrived at the hospital wing she was slightly taken aback how tired and aged Madam Pomphrey looked that night and felt instantly guilty to have woken her.
"Don't worry deary, I wasn't asleep anyway", the kindly matron replied to her insistent apologies, "you just get back to your dorm and get some sleep, I'm sure any questions can wait until tomorrow." Happy to get out of a detention for being out at night, Lily almost skipped out of the hospital wing, going back the way she came, this time successfully making it to the Gryffindor Portrait with no dramas.
"Lacewing flies", Lily cheerfully supplied to a disheveled Fat Lady, having just been woken up.
"Pardon?"
Lacewing flies", she supplied once again.
"I'm sorry dear, but that's not the password", the Fat Lady said to Lily, looking slightly irritated for being woken from her beauty sleep for someone without the right password.
"What do you mean the wrong password? It was only changed on Tuesday, it's only been three days!"
"I changed it on Wednesday dear, and the previous password wasn't lacewing flies."
"But how..."
"Why are you out passed curfew anyway dear?" The portrait asked curiously.
"Well I would have been here on time if I hadn't ran into that professor, and then he fainted and I had to take him to the Hospital Wing and..."
"Oh, you were helping a teacher? Well I guess... well only this once, but I'll let you in, but make sure to remember the password next time or you'll be sleeping in the corridor. The password is 'Antomicanus', remember it dear." The Fat Lady said, swinging open to admit Lily into the Gryffindor common room, already leaning back in her seat, drifting back into her previously uninterrupted sleep.
Lily quickly ran up to the fifth year’s dormitory. As she quietly made her way into the room she saw that her bed was occupied, seeing that Mav's bed was empty she amused she was in her's for some reason. Being to tired to care, Lily took off her outer robes and climbed under the covers of the bed, too exhausted to change into her night cloths.
The next morning Lily was quite disgruntled to be woken up early by someone gently shaking her shoulder, as she had been planning to sleep in as it was Saturday.
"Wha..wha..what's goin' on?" Lily started at whoever was waking her as she tried to bury herself further into the warm cocoon of blankets she had created during the night. Sensing that she wasn't going to be left alone, Lily pocked her head out of the blankets, squinting at the light coming through the curtains.
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger", the bushy haired girl that she had seen with Potter the night before. Lily looked around, it seemed that they were the only two in the room that were awake. "You must be new, did you get here late last night because I didn't notice you coming last night, and I'm a pretty light sleeper..."
"What do you mean new, aren't you new…” Lily was confused, and things seemed off.
"What do you mean, I've definitely never seen you before I've been here since first year. Though you do kinda look familiar, whats your name? " Hermione had now sat down on her bed which was opposite to the one Lily was perched on.
"I'm Lily... Lily Evans..." Lily said, drifting off as she saw the look on the friendly girl's face.
"What, what's wrong?" She said, worried. Hermione's face had dropped from a curious but friendly face to one of complete shock as soon as Lily had supplied her name, she looked like she had seen a ghost.
"It's, it's just... what year is it?" she said hastily, her face showing her mind working quickly.
"What, why?" Lily replied, confused at the strange question, why would she not know the year, Lily asked herself.
"Just... Just answer the question, it's important." She looked really frazzled and kept looking around, clearly concerned that someone might wake up.
"1975..." The frizzy headed girl gasped before standing quickly, grabbing Lily's arm as she did, forcing her to stand. "We have to go, quickly", she said as she turned and started for the door, still holding onto Lily tightly. Lily did not appreciate being pulled around she decided to stand her ground. She needed some answers.
"What’s going on", she said, yanking her arm out of the other girls grasp, walking back to the bed and crossing her arms as she firmly sat back down. "I'm not going anywhere until you explain what’s gotten you so agitated, so talk."
Hermione looked torn between continuing out the door and storming back to the bed, she went with the latter option. She swallowed deeply, "Lily, I can't explain everything right now, but what I can tell you is that I was born in 1980, and I am currently in my fifth year at Hogwarts in the year 1995. So do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Wait a minute, I think I know what you're saying", Lily said to a relieved looking Hermione, glad to have gotten her message across. "You're saying that... that you travelled back in time? Back twenty years!" Lily stated, gasping.
"No no Lily, I didn't", Hermione said, standing up to face Lily, trying to calm the almost frantic girl. "I'm saying...what I'm saying is that..." Hermione grabbed Lily's shoulder with both hands as if to impress upon her how serious she was. "Lily I didn't travel back in time... What I'm telling you is that you have come forward in time, twenty years to be exact."
Lily started laughing at the obvious joke that this Hermione girl was playing on her. Was James in on it? Her laughter drifted off as she saw the look on the other girls face. This was definitely not a joke. Lily felt herself mimic the actions of the professor she had ran into the night before. Lily went very pale before falling forwards into the girl in front of her, her last thoughts before everything went blank were of how mad Sev would be at her for missing their study session they had scheduled for that morning, well that morning twenty years ago anyway.
