Lily walked around James' bed and landed in the chair next to him focusing on her homework,"Ugh I can't get these stupid spells!"
"I'm not helping you,"James said tiredly.
"I'm not asking help from a guy who practically flunked all his classes last year,"Lily protested,but left the thick book with a loud thud on the desk due to frustration.
James however had his own deals not with his classes, but with the students.
"WHY DOES NOBODY TELL US ANYTHING!"he said with a small shout, careful not to alert Madam Pomfrey.
"I'll go over to Hagrid's, he is easier to manipulate than the others. I'll take you with me, he can't turned down an injured idiot like you,"Lily exclaimed.
James was about to protest, but put most of his energy getting out of the blanket with his arm in a sling and followed Lily.
"I thought Madam Pompfrey can mend bones like that,"Lily said,snapping her fingers.
"She can, I just stay overnight,"James replied back, grinning.
"Taking this as a chance to escape potions class?"Lily asked grabbing her coat from the hook and putting it on.
"Of course not, I fell 150 feet for crying out loud,"James muttered.
Lily shrugged and raced out of the door and to the boundary of the forest where Hagrid stood feeding Fang, his enormous dog. Lily smiled sweetly and let him lick her flashing at James' disgusted expression. He looked down at the two and immediately shut the door.
"Hey a Lily!Merlin's berd James, what happened to yer?"he asked in his hollow tone.
"Quidditch,"they both replied at once.
"Yer dad-,"
"Was the only one that ever managed to do these things,"James grinned.
Hagrid wobbled over ruffling James' reckless hair, and his eyes became watery. Lily frowned and Fang curled over next to her.
"Sometimes, yer remind ma so much of yer dad, we were close I tell yer,close,"he said rubbing his yes tenderly from spilling any tears.
Lily smiled and petted Fang. His black fur was shabby and dirty and his nose was wetter than ever. Suddenly, they both remembered why they were here. Lily nodded to James to begin talking first.
"About the students-"James began.
Hagrid froze,"Listen yer two, don't get into anymore trubble, im telling yer this for yer own good.I can't tell yer anything more until you figure out the reason why."
He chased them out.
"We should just stop, Hagrid's right. We are getting into a bit more trouble, the school will take care of it,"Lily said.
"Hagrid is also right, we shouldn't go to him until we find the reason why,"James said,grinning, but it slowly faded."We are now heading towards my least favorite place..."
"Face your worst fears James Potter,the library,"Lily joked as she grabbed a lantern and pushed the door open.
"We can't find the book here,not with so many people watching us and staring at us. The book is obviously in the restricted section and we are going to get caught for sure. I wish we weren't famous at time and people could see us as invisible this moment, then we get the book and just slip out,"Lily groaned.
"There is dad's cloak inside my luggage, we'll just grab it,"James said.
Lily shrugged and took a seat, reading a book about spells. She heard a whisper, her name was being called. She squirmed in her chair and she realized it was James' voice, he got the cloak. Lily grinned and led him to the restriced section, pulling herself under the cloak. She slowly whisperedso that the librarian wouldn't notice.
"Accio Phantom Students Book!"Lily cried out desperately after almost an hour of searching through the shelves.
"If only we could do that to get the book,"James said rolling his eyes.
Suddenly three books appearead in their hands. James looked at the books, these were the ones. THey ran back to the common rooms and plopped a seat next to the fireplace. Lily ran her fingers through the text and smiled. Bingo.
"Listen here James,"she said excitedly.
James threw down the second and first book as they finally found their information on the third book. He placed the book on his lap and frowned.
"The cover says, The Famous Legends of Death Eaters, what does that have to do with Malfoy's stupid friends?"James asked questioningly.
"Dad's name is here!"Lily squealed.
"Of course it is, he defeated Lord Voldemort,"James said.
Lily put a finger to her lips, Lord Voldemort was gone, but many people feared his names. James was one person who didn't. Albus and lily didn't completely fear his name, but were careful to make sure nobody was there.
"Ok here we go. When the legendary Harry Potter-dad...defeated the most powerful wizard of that time after the death of the brilliant Albus Dumbledore, the professor of Hogwarts Academy(now which is passed on to Professor Aberforth)-that's our professor now!"Lily said.
"Just read on,"James asked.
"Fine. The Death Eaters converted back to our side, but one family still remained faithful of Lord Voldemort's return. The only way to do so, is the famous, but impossible ritual of The Blood of the Defeater,"Lily gulped.
"That seemed pretty straightforward,"James grinned.
"James!Hand me the book next to you,"Lily asked.
"This book is nothing, it's the one you were reading in the Restricted Section,just a bunch of spells, I checked,"James said,but handed her the book anyways.
"The Blood of the Defeater, The blood of the Defeater,"she muttered as she flipped through pages and spotted the curse.
"The ultimate curse of resurrection, what that family is trying to do. You need blood of the defeater, simple as that, and a few spells and your set to go. It's impossible, because they can't get dad's blood, he owns the most powerful want that ever existed.One glance, their dead, but dad's blood...runs through us. They can still get out blood. No wonder why nobody wanted us to know, we are in this sort of danger, and-"Lily explained.
"And that has nothing to do with the phantom students,"James pressed.
"Are you kidding me?It has everythingto do with the phantom students,"Lily went on.
"Nobody knows their names yet, except the staff. Maybe they know about the curse,but if they reveal it to everyone, the parents will get scared and shut down Hogwarts. But I bet Professor Aberforth has his own plans,but still. We don't know their bloodline yet, and don't you think it's funny that they are targeting Malfoy of all people,"Lily explained.
"I've noticed Malfoy has been acting a bit dark, maybe influence. They might get him to get--what they need to perform the darn spell an you know get it to their families and that stuff,"James said.
Lily agreed to half his theory,"Those kids are not related to the death eater family,I'm sure of it. They might be under a trance that they are putting Scorpius into."
