Now I was my parents’ biggest disappointment. I was a Hogwarts drop out and currently attended a muggle school and hung out with people that my parents liked to call losers.

“Woah, Lily.” Louis said as he noticed me for the first time. “I had heard that you were coming back but I didn’t expect this.” He said, gesturing to the blond hair poking out the bottom of my hat. “You look like you could belong in my family.” He joked. “Only I don’t think maman would like the pink.”

“I don’t believe I caught your name.” I said as I realized that I had been talking to this guy and I had no idea who he was.

“I don’t believe I dropped it.” He said and with that he turned and walked away, disappearing into the shadows again. The way he appeared and disappeared so easily into the shadows gave me the creeps.

I don’t know when I seemed to have lost my will and my mind, somewhere in the evening both had gone missing. Perhaps they were out dancing with each other on the dance floor back in the Great Hall.

“Oh come on Lily.” Roxanne said. “Your hair is not that bad.”

“That’s what you think.” I said stubbornly. “You were never cursed with the Weasley red hair.”

I was tempted to draw on Albus’ face but as soon as I pulled out the marker my mother made eye contact with me and I slowly put the marker back. My parents spoiled all of my fun.
