And the second in this little update~. Yes, there's more, but not in this movement!

Chapter 18: Part 1-Letters

Blaise:

You didn't mean what you said on the platform, did you? Because if you did… I might have to kill you. Well, not kill you. But that confession was bloody awkward. You're one of my best friends, and I don't swing that way. Why would you even say something like that?

Draco

Lily:

I ask you this in all seriousness: do I seem like a poof to you? Because a guy kind of confessed to me at the end of year and… Do I make people think I like boys? Not that it's a bad thing, liking other boys, but it was bloody awkward getting hit on by another bloke.

Draco

Draco:

Don't overreact. I was stating a fact. And don't think I haven't seen you looking. You may not be attracted to other boys, but…

Listen, if you feel awkward about it, you can forget about it. I don't expect you to reciprocate the feeling. I don't expect Lily to reciprocate my feelings either. I just wanted them said. Now is there anything more important you wanted to mention?

Blaise

Lily:

If Draco mentions anything about love confessions or anything to do with relationships in ANY WAY, tell him he's crazy.

Blaise

Draco:

Blaise says to tell you you're crazy. I think you're crazy. How the hell did this liking boys thing come up? By the way, you should be saying gay or homosexual. Liking boys is a little to general. It sounds like something a little girl would say about being friends with a boy. Anyway, you said you're being serious so... You look like a girl, Draco. Don't you think you should do something about all that primping you do in front of the mirror?

Lily

Blaise:

Why does Draco think he looks gay? And who tried to hit on him? What happened after I went home?

Lily

Lily:

I have no idea.

Blaise

Draco and Blaise:

Hey you guys. I've been having this dream every night. It's all rather disturbing. Voldemort, in an old house. He's with Wormtail and they're talking about using me for something. And I think there was mention of a woman that Wormtail ran into but wasn't supposed to. It ends with a flash of green light and some old man is killed.

I'm not too sure about all the details, but it's been a week since I first started dreaming about this so no, I don't think it has to do with eating Uncle Sirius's cooking. Could you guys check it out for me? Maybe ask the tin cans?

Lily

Pansy and tin can attendants:

2 has been having dreams linked to Voldemort. Description enclosed. Please check with information you've gotten so far.

-#3

P.S.-Are the tin cans working at all? Can we contact the rest of the Association members without any worries?

We've got the tin cans working. They're actually pretty good. We managed to anonymously send a warning about an attack in Carthage to the Ministry's Auror section, and we were right.

Anyway, we're testing the dream against our info, but nothing's coming up yet. It isn't a lot to go on though. We might be able to place where Voldemort is by the end of the summer, but we're not sure. And that's taking into consideration the Cup. You and #1, 2, 4, and 5 are going to be there, right?

-Tin cans

P.S.-Yep. We just have to work out a few problems, mostly the Weasleys. Considering sending information through Percy.

Percy:

Need to know of way we can send information about A.L through you to the Weasley A.L members without Ron finding out.

#3

#3:

I plan on leaving my family as soon as the twins invent out a way to send information between me and them. There's not just Ron we should worry about, you know. In any case, we should be able to send information without being intercepted by anyone once the twins are done with what they're working on.

Percy

Tin cans:

1 and 4 will be there. Not sure about 2. 5 is traveling with family but might be able to make it. By the end of the summer will be fine, so long as nothing major happens. Make sure you keep sending in anonymous tips to the Auror division directly. I don't trust the Minister or any of the officials. Besides, the Aurors take their jobs way to seriously to risk waiting if they get a warning.

#3

P.S.-Sending through Percy would be best. He plans on 'breaking off' connections with his family as soon as we figure out a way to send information between him and our A.L. members.

Blaise:

Right...

Anyway, the Quidditch World Cup. Father's got a few extra tickets. Wanna come? Please say you will. I heard that the Weasleys have box seats too. I won't forgive you two if you or Lily leave me with the Weasel!

-Draco

Lily:

Never mind that. Something more important came up!

The Quidditch World Cup. Remember I mentioned it before you ran off at the platform? Father has extra tickets for you and Blaise, if you want to come. Please say you will. I heard that the Weasleys have box seats too. I won't forgive you two if you leave me with the Weasel!

-Draco

P.S. – Malfoys do not look like girls. Unless they are one.

Draco:

I'll be there. I won't mention anything having to do with love, you, Lily or Cedric. We're going to have to deal with Lily swooning over Cedric though, if she's really in love with him. And don't worry about the Weasel; we'll make fun of him together. And Lily is coming this time, right?

-Blaise

Draco:

I'm coming, I'm coming! At least, I'll try. I have to get my mom's permission first, but I really want to go! Don't you guys dare forget me!

-Lily

P.S. – Draco, take a long look in the mirror. You look like a girl. Ask Blaise.

Part 2-Dreams Again

"Lily? Lily, get down here!"

Petunia scowled when Lily finally walked into the kitchen. "I've been calling you for the past hour. What have you been doing?"

Lily shrugged. "Nothing, really… What is it? I was about to go to bed."

Her aunt sighed before waving at the package on the table. "An owl just delivered it for you."

Lily blinked. "Oh. I'll open it in my room." The girl picked up the package and left. Petunia shook her head as she watched Lily go. Something was changing in that girl. She just didn't know what.

Up in her room, Lily opened the package. Inside was a beautiful hand mirror and a little note.

A belated Christmas present for you. - Cedric

Lily managed a small smile before she gently set the mirror on her bed side table and sprawled out on her bed. That was very thoughtful of Cedric. It almost made her forget about what had happened this year.

Peter Pettigrew, the simpering man Voldemort had instructed to kidnap her, had escaped—no doubt to his ever-forgiving lord. Professor Prewett hadn't left though. The woman smiled at her during the Leaving Feast. It made her shiver inside. Prewett, one of the Dark Lord's servants. Lily didn't understand what could make the Professor turn to the Dark Lord. It didn't make any sense! No, what didn't make any sense was that, days after Lily had last seen Pettigrew, Fudge had announced that the convict had been caught by the Aurors and executed. Lily was sure that Pettigrew was alive and with Voldemort though.

So why was the ministry lying?

She sighed, rolling over and staring into the darkness of her room before closing her eyes. That was something to think about when her eyelids weren't growing heavier every passing moment…

A boy with glittering eyes was draped in a chair at the table. He smiled at Lily. "Hello my love."

Lily stiffened at the endearment, gripping the back of the chair sitting across the table from the boy. All it did was make that smile widen. "My dear beloved, I was waiting for you. You know how to take your time, don't you?"

"What do you want?"

"What do I want?" The boy laughed. "Come and sit, pretty one, and I will show you. Oh, I will show you…!"

With the utmost reluctance Lily sat in the chair across from the boy. He looked familiar but she couldn't place just who he was. She did speak, though, making the boy shake his head.

"Do you want me to tell you now? Should I reveal who I am? Where's the fun in that!"

Lily glared at the boy. "Explain yourself! I don't have time to mess around."

He just laughed again, shaking his head. "It should be obvious, dearest." Those glittering eyes of his flashed red, making Lily flinch. "You, my dear, pretty, sweet, sweet Lily, are mine."

"What?" Lily shook her head. "No, that doesn't make sense. That's not what I asked!"

"Come now, it isn't that are to understand, is it? To your infinite and blinding light, I am your darkness and to your suffocating darkness, I your only light. I am the imperfection in your perfect world, and the most perfect being—your saviour—in your broken one. As for your question…" The boy shrugged. "I am the only person in the world who knows you, Lilith Black, and the only one who'll ever understand you."

"Not fair! That's not an answer at all!"

He sighed. "It is. Now don't you have to check on the children, dear?"

Lily bolted up in bed, gasping. She blinked several times, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness of her room. Just a dream… It was just a dream, nothing to worry about. Nothing at all… She lay down, closing her eyes and completely missing the red glow that ran across the hand mirror.

Dear Lily:

You feeling alright? We haven't gotten any of your letters lately. Not even Howlers for not sending anything (Blaise, don't remind her!). We're all still going to the Quidditch World Cup together, right? Draco's father said something about your mother not letting you go. But you are still coming. Right? Lily, please reply. We're worried about you.

-Blaise and Draco

-End of the third movement-

I just have a few things I think I ought to mention.

First, Blaise amuses me. I don't know why yet, but he does.

Second, since the movements began, I originally planned for Voldemort's resurrection to follow what was in the books before starting something new for Lily's fifth year. The third year did pose some problems in trying to find a tangible plot for the year, and I'm surprised I managed to get some stuff down. I am surprised that Tom turned up again though. Strang…

Tom will be taking a much larger role than I had originally planned for him and I'm beginning to wonder if I can fit all I want to write into the Movements. For those of you who have checked my profile, you've probably noticed mention of the Arii/Arias. It's a tentative follow up to the Movements that I initially wasn't sure if I was going to write. As I'm probably not going to have enough space to write everything I want in the later Movements, the Arii are moving from a tentative follow-up to a definite one.
