Lilly Potter
Prologue
He leant over his year old daughter, examining her beautiful round face, Emerald green eyes and, dirty blond crop of hair. She had her grandmother's eyes, and her own mothers face. She was beautiful. A dark cloaked figure leaning against the first floor window.
"Bombarda!" he roared as the window shattered into a million tiny pieces. The mother of the child screamed in terror as the dark figure shot flares of green light at her husband. He was to advance for the sinister figure whipping away the shots like measly flies, in frustration the hooded man turned to see the baby, the husband wouldn't use spells on the girl, he aimed his wand at the girl and screamed,
"Imperio!" the curse hit the child on the back of her neck, making a lightning shaped scar like her father's appear. The cloaked figure shuffled away in agony into the gloom and shadows of the blackness of the night.
Lilly
My eyes flew open. My first day, at Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry.
I was so excited I leapt out of bed dashed to my parent's room and clambered onto their bed.
"Lilly, flower, its six am darling the train doesn't leave eleven." my dad mumbled. "Go wake up your brothers."
"Okay but if you don't get up it will be cold water." I warned. I creped out the room and flew to James's room. I grabbed a pillow from the bottom of his bed and started thrashing.
"James (Whack). Serious (Whack). Potter (Whack). Get (WHACK). UP (TRIPPLE WHACK)!"
"GERROFF LIL!" he mumbled, this was war I snatched up his glass of water and poured it on his face.
"LILLY, LUNA, POTTER! YOU ARE DEAD!" he roared. He flew out of bed threw me over his back ran down the stairs (me screaming and thumping his back) tossed me onto the sofa and half tickled me to death.
"S. O. R. R.Y!" I scream/laugh/wheezed.
"Now it's Albus's turn." He grinned. We raced to his room each took a leg and dragged him off the bed.
"LEVE-ME-LONE!" He bellowed, his crumpled face glowering at us. I stood straight; I'd always done that when I was to leave someone alone.
"Aw don't be angry Albus I was only playing." I squeaked, pretending to be upset. Albus seized my waist pulling me into a rib crushing bear hug, leading to my loss of breath.
"C.a.n.'t B.r.e.a.t.h!" I gasped. He let me go and grinned at me.
"So my little sis is all grown up!" He mocked.
"Yep, I would take a bow but I'm still suffering from shortage of oxygen." I scoffed. "Hey what if I'm not in Gryffindor?" I mumbled, lowering the atmosphere. "What if I'm in Hufflepuff or worse Slytherin?"
"Look Lil we've been telling you for the last month you won't be!" James reassured me.
"But what if I am in Slytherin? What if?"
"Ahgg! Then I'll kidnap Mrs. Norris and dance the tango with her in front of McGonagall!" he threw his hands up in exasperation. We burst out laughing. Harry walked into the room.
"So what have I walked into?" my father asked.
"Lilly is having more doubts." James sighed.
"Ah flower you will be fine!" my dad laughed. "Come have breakfast, whatever you want!"
"PANCAKES!" I screamed. I zoomed down stairs and sat at the table where mum had set out stacks of steaming hot, mouth-watering pancakes.
She bent down and handed me a plate with a pancake that said 'Hogwarts' in chocolate sauce. By the time we'd finished it was 7:30 am so I went upstairs and re-packed my trunk twice. When I'd finished it was 9:45.
"LILLY!" James bellowed.
"WHAT?"
"COME ER'!" I ran down stairs and met them in the living room, mum was holding a cage shaped package.
"Congratulations on getting into Hogwarts flower." Ginny and Harry chorused.
"Yeah congrats sis!" James beamed whilst Albus handed me the present.
I carefully unwrapped it; a minute owl ruffled its feathers in the cage.
"An owl! Mum dad! You are the best!" they kissed my glowing face.
"What are you going to call her?" mum asked.
"How about… Selina?" I asked
"She's your pet Flower," my mom smiled.
"I think that would be a lovely name, Lilly!" my dad exclaimed.
"Oh! Look at the time! The train leaves in an hour!" Harry jumped up and raced to get our trunks. Once everything was in the car we set off.
A strange pale boy
We arrived at the station with 10 minutes to spare. We ran to the platform making sure that no-one was looking.
"Albus you go first! WATCH IT! Right now, you, James dear. Now Lilly we'll all go together." We ran into the wall, just before we hit it I closed my eyes. Then we were on the platform, steam and wizards everywhere, older kids, showing gifts and pets, second years catching up with each other and first years clinging to their parents rather like me. As I took in the surroundings I let go of my mum, and ran after James, I could see him talking to a group of his friends, sneering at a pale faced boy with another group of mean looking boys. I wasn't looking where I was going, a lose paving stone caused me to go flying into a boy.
"Oaf!" the boy exclaimed as we landed on the floor, the people around us stared as the station quieted.
"I'm so sorry!" I whispered, I looked up to his face, it was unnaturally pale, his eyes where ice blue and his hair the same blond almost white as mine. Although mine was down to my waist and more of a dirty blond.
"It's fine," he got up and was about to help me when I heard a low growling sound.
"Lilly, don't trust that mongrel!" James barked.
"Oi! Don't you dare help her!" a severe voice came from behind the boy.
"Why? She won't bite will she?" he mocked. He defied the other pale boy and took my hand. He smiled crookedly at me.
"Hi the name's Scorpius, Scorpius Ma-,"
"Lilly who's this boy?" Dad asked.
"No-one,"
"Scorpius!" a pale faced man stepped from the hushed crowd, "Harry, nice to see you." The man said awkwardly.
"Draco, this your boy?" James growled at dad's question.
"Yes and Cody," he pointed to the growling boy who was having a glowering match with James.
"I'm Luke, good, enemies children acquainted let's go!" Said an older boy around Albus's age.
"Hang on Luke we are not enemies, is this your girl?" asked Draco.
"Yes every inch."
"Not the potter hair though, well I can see the other children are a little annoyed, good bye. Harry, Ginny. Say hello to Ron and Hermione for me." Taking Scorpius's hand he walked off.
"Nice bunch, well other than Draco, he's just been accepted as an Aura, did you know that?"
"Yes you said that ten thousand times in the last week dear." Ginny kissed Harry and looked at me.
"Are you okay honey?"
"He was very soft," I mumbled.
"What? Who was soft?"
"Hum? Oh I meant Scorpius I landed on him and he was very soft almost like a pillow. Did you see his hair it was almost like mine well accept, mine is more blond and bushy-er! And his eyes! Hey don't look at me like that mom! I'm not in love it's just he was, beautiful, like, like Edward Cullen," my birthday had been two months ago, I'd gotten the popular muggle book; twilight and the DVD's, Robert Patterson is beautiful, but I don't have a crush on him.
"You think that, that MALFOY is beautiful?!" James snarled.
"What do you mean?"
"He is a Malfoy!"
"He is a human being; well actually he's an angel!"
"Yeah more like an angel of darkness," he sneered.
"James!" Dad warned, "Lilly is right the Malfoys are human beings. Right James Albus you find compartments Lilly flower be good. And whatever house you may be in, it will be lucky to have a witch as amazing as you!" I beamed kissing him and mum good bye I scampered onto the train and in the compartment with James, Albus and their friends.
The train ride
I looked out the window watching London disappear. I was lost in my own train of thought, thinking about school and if I would make friends. What would I do if I wasn't in Gryffindor? I was suddenly awakened my James.
"Lilly? Wake up! Earth to Lil!"
"Hum? Oh nothing I was thinking,"
"Yeah, tell Emily how that Malfoy knocked you over Lil." Emily was one of Albus's friends.
"He didn't knock me over!" I snapped my head to him scowling.
"Then what happened?" Emily asked.
"Well I tripped over a paving stone and landed on him knocking HIM to the ground, he just smiled at me," I sighed remembering that crooked smile, "Oh and his eyes they were ice blue, and his skin it was like tiny little crystals…" by this time the whole compartment was staring at me, gawking at me. "What?"
"You sound like you're in love with him!" Daniel, one of James's friend gawped at me.
"What?! No way! I don't love him he's just … attractive."
"Lilly, please don't say you find him attractive?"
"Well if you lot are going to be all prejudice then this compartment is to full of hot air for me!" I huffed ramming open the door and stepping out, stalking down the corridor. As I walked a door slid open.
"Hello," said a familiar voice, I turned to see the ice blue eyes of Scorpius Malfoy. "I didn't quite get to introduce myself earlier, would you care to join me?"
"I would love to join you." He led me into the empty compartment. "Why aren't you sitting with your brothers?" I asked.
"Well there compartment was a bit prejudice for me so I decided to come here." He smiled.
"Same here! 'Tell Emily how that Malfoy knocked you over Lil!'!" I put on a James impression. He laughed.
"Yeah, 'Tell them about that little potter girl that rammed into you, Bro'." Scorpius mocked. "What did you say?"
"That you didn't knock me over! Then Emily asked what happened and I said I fell over and landed on top of you. What did you say?"
"I said it was my fault and that I wasn't looking where I was going." He smiled; we talked and chatted for an hour until the trolley came.
"Anything from the trolley dears?" the witch asked.
"Yes please," I said getting the money from my pockets, "Do you like pumpkin pasties?" He nodded "Four pasty's please." I handed her a galleon and passed Scorpius two. He grinned at me, after eating out pasties and talking for half an hour more I looked at my watch. "OH!" I shrieked. "We'll be at Hogwarts soon they'll be wondering where I am!" I jumped up and reached to open the door,
"Bye Scorpius, hope I see you again."
"Bye Lilly potter," He waved as I rushed down the hall. When I got to James they were in there robes talked in worried voices.
"WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN LILLY LUNA POTTER!?" James yelled at me, "WE HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK! SELINA HAS BEEN HOOTING AND I ALMOST RAN UP THE TRAIN LOOKING FOR YOU!" along with other family traits all three of us had caught the Weasley temper.
"WELL MABEY IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH AN IDIOT I WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT!" I roared back.
I glared at him.
He glared at me.
"James back off. Lilly calm down."
James sighed, and stopped glaring, "Sorry Lils I didn't mean to shout, I was just so worried. Where have you been?"
"Um… talking to someone." Anyway I need to get changed, pass me my robes please and I'll change in the toilets. I walked to the toilets changed, washed my face (for no reason) and walked back. I sat down next to the window thinking again.
"Lilly? Where were you?" Albus asked calmly.
"With Scorpius," I rolled my eyes.
"With the MALFOY?" James raged. "WHY?"
"Because we were both running from the same thing… idiot brothers!"
"Um I feel awkward." Said Daniel. "I had nothing to do with this right?"
"Dan!" Emily shouted getting up and hitting him round the head with a book she was reading.
"OW!" he howled, "I was just bloody asking!"
We got off the train to a holler of "Fis' Yers ove' 'er!" I walked to Hagrid and shouted, "HAGRID! OVER HERE!"
"Hullo Lilly! How was the train?"
"Great!"
"'Ow's 'arry 'nd Ginny?"
"They're great. Hey what would you do if I was in Slytherin?"
"Then I'd dance on me 'ead and let bu'beack nip me hand." He laughed. I rolled my eyes, another not taking it seriously.
"Hello!" a cheery voice smiled. I turned to see Scorpius ginning wildly at me.
"Who's this Lilly?" Hagrid asked.
"Scorpius Malfoy!" I beamed.
"Yer bothers won' like tha'." He said wearily.
"Oh I've already had several arguments with James, but he's a prejudice pig anyway."
"Hmm. Anyway, 'ow's 'Ermione, 'nd Ron?" he asked leading us to the deep purple waters below.
"There fine, I didn't see Molly, Rose, Roxy, Fred, Lucy or Hugo though. Maybe they had another compartment I don't know." I sighed, smiling at Scorpius who was making faces behind my back.
"Oi! Lil!" I turned to see the bright red crop of hair that belonged to Hugo; freckles, red hair, dimples and blue eyes. "Who's this?" He pointed to Scorpius.
"Scorpius Malfoy, don't throw a hissy fit James has already done that!" Hugo looked jadedly at Scorpius but shook his hand anyway. Hagrid ushered us onto boats, I gazed up at the daunting castle as we drifted from the shore…
The sorting hat
We reached a small cove where the boats automatically stopped. Hagrid helped all the kids out of their boats, me, Hugo and Scorpius last. Filch, the caretaker, took us through the castle up some stairs and into a small room.
"Wait, Here!" He rasped as he tuned as heaved open the door, a groan echoed through the silenced room. Everyone watch the door, and then chatter broke out.
"Oi!" a girl with white blonde hair, ice blue eyes and crystal white skin, pointed her finger at me and Scorpius. Scorpius groaned, "What Sophie?" he asked in exasperation.
"I'll tell you what! You are friends with, with, a Potter!" she spat the last word out venom in every inch of the sentence.
"What's she to you? I'm not asking you to be her friend am I?" he defensively stepped in front of me, as did Hugo.
"Oh and who's this?" She asked mockingly pointing to Hugo, "Red hair, freckles, bad temper, and hand-me-downs? Ha! A Weasley!" Hugo's ears went pink; this was a sign of bad temper coming! She raised her eyebrows at Hugo, rolled her eyes at Scorpius and looked daggers and smiled venom at me. She clicked her fingers and two girls came up behind her.
"You are not the only person in the world you air headed pig!" Scorpius growled. For the next three minutes they glared at each other. The door banged open but no-one paid attention; nothing could break the tension now other than- "MALFOY!" They both looked up at McGonagall who was glowering at them intensely. "If you have QUITE finished follow me," She whipped around and we followed her up the great hall, about a billion faces looked eagerly at all the first years, I saw James giving me an I'm-sorry-you'll-do-fine smile as Albus grinned at me and Hugo. At the front of the hall she stopped, "Right, now when I call your name you will come up, sit on the stool and I will place the sorting hat on your head.
Abbot, Leah," She slowly walked to the sorting hat it thought for a while then shouted, "HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Bones, Daniel,"
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Creevey, Lamia,"
"GRYFINDOR!"
"Creevey, Vanessa,"
"SLYTHERIN!"
After half an hour it was Sophie's turn,
"Malfoy, Sophie," She was Scorpius's sister!
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Malfoy, Scorpius," he walked up to the stool, coolly, sat down and winked at me.
"SLYTHERIN!" The hat shrieked before the hat even touched his head; he grinned and ran to his table.
"Potter, Lilly," the hall when quite, I was shaking. I trembled up to the stool and sat. She placed the hat on my head.
"Ahh!" I jumped the hat was talking to me! "Another Potter eh? Well I see courage, yes lots of it, very intelligent yes, oh what's this? A thirst for a way to prove you're self eh? Well then it better be-
"SLYTHERIN!" instead of claps I heard silence.
"WHAT?!" I asked, "But, but I'm a Potter? HARRY POTTER'S daughter!"
"Yes and I'm a hat so be on your way!" it said.
"But- oh I'm talking to a hat!" I took it off gave it to McGonagall and ran to the table, Scorpius put his arm around my shoulders as unwanted tears trickled down my face. "I guess you will dance with Mrs. Norris then after all, James!" I whispered. The rest when as a blur until last but not least Hugo, maybe he would be in Slytherin to!
"Weasley, Hugo!"
"GRYFINDOR!" the feast began with a few short words from McGonagall.
"I hope this year is as brilliant as the last so with these short words, LET THE FEAST BEGIN!" she waved her wand and food appeared. As soon as that happened I got various foods lobbed at me. Mainly bread but I was sure someone had thrown a shrimp or two at me, after the feast, we were shown the common room, on the way various paintings pointed and said things like- "That's the potter girl," or "She's not a real Slytherin you know," And "What's she doing here?" When we reached the Slytherin painting our prefect said, "Pure-blood" and the painting swung open.
"Now," said the prefect, "Girls dormitories to the right, boy's to the left, your trunks and belongings will already be there." I walked to my room after saying good bye to Scorpius. I hoped they wouldn't hate me. Three girls where in the room.
"Hello?" I said timidly, "Please don't kick me out!"
"Why would we do that?" a blond-haired girl with dimples and freckles asked, "We're all muggle born, by the way I'm Vanessa Creevery, my uncle went here he died fighting you-know-who, this is Anna Parker," a brown-haired girl with tanned skin beamed, "and Felicity Morgan. Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Lilly Potter," they gasped.
"My uncle was in the DA with your dad!" Vanessa exclaimed.
"Yeah I know; my dad says a lot about Collin! He always used to take pictures of him! And on Collins first year he was petrified by the basilisk!"
"Wasn't my uncle great? He-," she was cut off by a yell. I turned and walked to the door, Scorpius lay at the bottom of the stairs, I had to cover my mouth to stop from laughing.
"What are you doing you idiot!?" I chortled.
"I wanted to see if you were okay but I fell, the stairs are slippy." He jumped up and brushed himself down.
"Who's that Lilly? Your boyfriend?" Vanessa snickered.
"NO!" we both cried in unison.
"He's a Malfoy!"
"And she's a Potter!"
"Oh why are you friends then?" Anna asked.
"Well we met in the train station-,"
"I remember!" Squealed Felicity, "You fell on top of him, and everyone went quiet and your brothers where growling at each other!"
"Yes. So I can see your dorm is pleasant,"
"Isn't yours?"
"No I have, Zabini, Crabb, and Flint. They're a right bunch, want me to be the leader of their 'Draco club 2" you know when my dad was at school he was head of this death eater club! They want me to restart it!" he rolled his eyes. I walked down the stairs and shook my head.
"Well you are his son what do you expect?" I scoffed. A door banged open.
"SCORPIUS!" a female voice screamed.
"What is it now Sophie?" he rolled his eyes.
"Why are you still talking to that?" she seethed.
"Pleasant isn't she?" he murmured to me.
"Very." I muttered.
"Because I want to. We had this conversation earlier. It's none of your business!"
"It's all of my business! My brother is not hanging around with, with a POTTER!"
"Absolutely charming!" I whispered. Her eyes blazed complete white with fury. Her long hair whipped behind her as she flew into her room slamming the door.
"Temper much?" Scorpius smiled. I nodded, suddenly feeling very sleepy.
"I'm gunna get some kip!" I yawned, "We have to be up early in the morning."
Scorpius sighed. "If I'm not here in the morning then they've killed me." He turned in the direction of the boy's stair case and we went to our rooms. I changed into my pyjamas and let out Selina. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
Potions with Gryffindor
I was awoken by vigorous shoves. "WAKE UP! WE'RE LATE!" Vanessa shrieked.
"Hu?" I sat up flew out of bed grabbed my Slytherin uniform and got dressed. "How late?"
"Lessons start in twenty minutes!"
"Yieks!" Anna squealed. We ran out the door with our bags of books, dashed out the portrait hole, into the great hall grabbed a piece of toast and flew to get our time tables. As I rushed to McGonagall I tripped (Yet again how clumsy am I) and rammed strait into Scorpius.
"Wow slow down! We have fifteen minutes. Double potions with Gryffindor." I took a time table and sat down. "Breath girl!" my face was flushed an autumn red. I swished my hair out of the way and spotted James. I jumped to my feet and darted to him, knocking into his arms.
"Wow! What's with the hugs?" I clutched him as he hugged me back.
"James it was horrible!"
"What?"
"The paintings don't even like me!" I huffed.
"I would love to chat but save it for lunch we have ten minutes!" I let go and walked to potions with the Anna and Scorpius the other girls had Transfiguration. We lined up outside the door and filed in.
"I'm Professor Slughorn and I will be teaching you Potions! Today we will be making a simple Cure for boils. Each take out your potions books and turn to page 120, you will be working in pairs. As you can see each table has
'Dried nettles
6 snake fangs
4 horned slugs
2 porcupine quills'
So get into pairs and get started. If you need help raise your hands!" I paired with Scorpius and since Hugo had no-one to work with he worked with Anna. The book said:
1. Add 6 snake fangs to the mortar.
2. Crush into a fine powder using the pestle.
3. Add 4 measures of the crushed fangs to your cauldron.
4. Heat the mixture to 250 for 10 seconds.
5. Wave your wand.
6. Leave to brew and return in 45 minutes.
7. Add 4 horned slugs to your cauldron.
8. Take the cauldron off the fire before adding the next ingredient.
9. Add 2 porcupine quills to your cauldron.
10. Stir 5 times, clockwise.
11. Wave your wand to complete the potion.
By the end of the lesson everyone had made some kind of potion apparently mine and Scorpius's was the best although it wasn't perfect. We each got a small vile for occasions when needed. At break we went to check out the lake. A group of four boys where jaunting around one of them was in the air, upside down,
"Le-me-down!" the boy shouted.
"Let him down Flint!" Scorpius growled.
"Why should I?"
"I can jinx you! My father taught me some defenses!"
"Levicorpus!" the boy fell to the ground. "Alright show me!"
Scorpius raised his wand and shouted "Locomotor Wibbly!" Flint's legs went like jelly as he fell to the floor. My mouth flew open as I saw what he'd done. The other bots helped Flint up and raced to the castle.
"It'll wear off in a few minutes." He shrugged.
"What happened to you?" I asked the boy as I knelt down beside him.
"Well I was sat here reading and they came up to me." Said the boy, he sat up and tried to look brave. I smiled and stood up.
"What's your name?"
"Jacob Finnigan." I smiled at Jacob he was about as tall as Scorpius, with light sandy hair and blue eyes.
"Where did you learn that?" I asked.
"Well my dad's good with this stuff so I thought I would try and make him proud."
"Speaking of parents I need to find Selina." I whistled and a beautiful snowy owl came from the Owlery and landed on Scorpius's head. I laughed and reached into my bag bringing out a quill and parchment.
Dear mom and dad,
I've made friends with a girl named Anna and Scorpius Malfoy. He is very nice although James and Albus still don't like him! He is amazing today a boy, named Jacob Finnigan had the Levicorpus jinx on him and Scorpius jinxed the boy who did it with the Locomotor Wibbly! I don't think they'll be bothering us again! I was a little distraught yesterday but I'm already good at potions! Scorpius and I were the closest to the actual cure for boils potion! I'm having a great day!
Lots of love
Lilly! Xxx
Scorpius was peering over my shoulder, when I'd finished I looked to see his grinning face.
"Hey!" he pouted, "You didn't say how incredibly handsome I am!" I smacked him playfully on the arm and tied the note to Selina's foot. She spread out her pure white wings and soared into the wind, gliding gracefully above the clouds. I looked at my watch and saw it was time for lessons. I got up and turned to Jacob.
"Bye Jacob, Scorpius we have double Herbology with Ravenclaw!" I walked to the green house with Scorpius next to me. As always people looked and stared at us eyebrows raising and conversations stopping.
"Right!" said the voice of my god farther Professor Longbottom. "Good morning), class! I hope you have had a good day so far and you will enjoy these interesting lessons. Throughout the year we will only be working in greenhouse 1, and therefore be mostly discussing plants, maybe working with them a bit, but otherwise we will not perform too much dangerous or complicated work. Some of the plants we work with are potions ingredients as well, so in some lessons you might just be learning about one thing yet in to subjects! Anyway...
Today I have planned a rather informative lecture on Devil's Snare! You can take notes if you would like, although it is not required I might recommend it for your homework tonight..." the class was exiting and I took plenty of notes; by the end of the class Scorpius had given up on notes and decided to use mine later. "Right HOMEWORK: Conduct an essay on why Devil's Snare can be very dangerous. Alright, class dismissed! I'll see you all back here in greenhouse 1 tomorrow." As we trooped out I waved to Neville and walked to the hall. As he'd promised James was waiting by the Gryffindor table for me.
"Um I'll save you a space; your brothers don't like me." I smiled at him, as he grimaced back I walked off to James.
"Hey! James!" I shouted over the din of the hall, he smiled at me patting a place on a bench.
"So how was your fist four lessons, Hugo said you got him to be partners with a girl named Anna."
"Yeah she's really nice; she's in my dorm, but quite shy-,"
"HEY! LILLY! OVER HERE! IT'S ME ROSE!" rose was my cousin, her skin, unlike mine that was almost white, was slightly tanned, her eyes a deep shade of blue, her hair a mix between ginger and brown, and a small array of freckles stretched across her nose. I smiled at her and waved, as I walked over.
"Hey are you okay? About the Slytherin thing?" Although she was pretty and smart she was nice unlike the stereotypical pretty girl. "I heard that the weird Malfoy boy was following you!"
"James?" I asked.
"Yes, is it true?"
"No he just hates that I've made friends with his enemy's brother." I fumed.
"Wait your friends with Malfoy?"
"Actually she is!" I turned to see Scorpius Smiling at me. "I came to see what took you so long."
"I was chatting to my very nice cousin." I prompted.
"Oh, hi! I'm the nice brother of the family." Rose raised her eyebrows and smiled at him.
"Hi I'm Rose, so Scorpius isn't it?"
"That's me! Well nice meeting you Rose but we really should go, Anna's getting worried." He smiled and dragged me off. We sat at the table staring greedily at the cakes, sandwiches, piles of crisps, cold meats, mini pies and other various foods I couldn't name to busy eating my lip-smacking lunch. Selina flew into the hall carrying two letters; one from my parents and one from Hagrid. I tore open the one from my parents' fist.
Lilly flower,
We're glad you're first day has been good, Scorpius sounds like a nice guy! We know Jacob Finnigan's dad, he helped your father and I. Well done on potions I see you have my knack for it and I hope you haven't inherited your father's knack for finding trouble, as long as you don't get hurt. Anyway James isn't happy about Scorpius although never mind you have a friend.
Say hello to Neville for us? And don't forget to go and see Hagrid (Remember don't eat the cakes unless you want broken teeth) Lots of Love
Mum and Dad! Xxxx
I gave Scorpius the letter to examine whilst ripping out the one from Hagrid.
Hiyya Lilly,
I wan ter invite yer and yer friend up ter mine. Come up ter me on Saturday at 9 o'clock. Don' brin' yer brothers!
Hagrid
"Look Scorpius, Hagrid has invited us to tea on Saturday at 9! Oh don't eat the cakes unless you want broken teeth."
"Yeah it say's in your parents letter!" we got up and went to the old willow by the black lake. I sat under the tree and picked up the first twilight book. I read the page;
About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn't know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
"Hey what would you do if you fell in love with a vampire?" I asked him. He looked at me puzzled and then red the page.
"Second, there was a part of him–and I didn't know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood? Seriously? What strange things muggles come up with?" He scoffed.
"Actually I think it's quite good!" I huffed turning back to my book. "Something's boys just don't get!"
"So what is Twilight about anyway? Vampires killing each other to drink the girl's blood?"
"Almost, it's a love story about a vampire called Edward and a girl called Bella running away from the Voltory so she won't get bitten; but she does anyway because they have a baby accidently and then she dies so to save her he bites her." I shut the book and turned to Scorpius.
"How can you accidentally have a baby?"
"Cause they didn't think if you know, because he's a vampire it would happen."
"Oh well that's disturbing."
"No it isn't! C'mon we've got transfiguration now, with McGonagall." I stood up and looped my arm through his, dragging him along.
AUTORS NOTE: Soz ant finished it yet working together so it's a bit AWKWARD, Vampire bit is a bit weird i know but it will get better...
