Lily Potter stood in front of the Hogwarts train nervous about her first year. Her father Harry Potter was known all over the wizarding world. He was famous and everyone knew he was a Gryffindor and both her brothers were put into Gryffindor. So what if she was an outcast and wasn't placed into Gryffindor?

Lily jumped when her father put his hand on her shoulder "Everything alright dear?"

Lily shook her head "What if I'm not placed in Gryffindor like you and mum?"

Harry smiled at his daughter and knelt down so he was eye level. "Your brother Albus had the same nerves as you are having now. You were named after my mother. She was brave and smart and very beautiful just like you. It won't matter if you are put in Gryffindor, Slytherin or any of the other two houses. Just ask the hat if you want to be in Gryffindor, the hat takes your choice into perspective."

This made Lily feel a little bit better. She knew her father would love her either way. When she started to walk toward her mother she looked over and saw Scorpius Malfoy with his parents. This was his second year and he looked smug and bored. She looked away.

Ginny leaned down "Are you ready dear?"

"Yes mum, dad helped me."

They both kissed her on her head and watched as she walked with her brothers to the train. "Watch out for your sister boys." Ginny called back. Harry smiled waving to his children ignoring the people that still stared at him to this day.

When Lily got on the train she went to the window in the empty room and waved to her parents. She sat down once the train moved away from the station. Pulling out her book the door to the compartment she was in opened and in came Scorpius Malfoy. She looked up at him not saying a word, just staring.

He sat down across from her and didn't seem to notice she was there. Lily frowned, she wasn't used to people just ignoring her, especially since she was here first. "Excuse me?"

Scorpius looked up at her and raised one of his eye brows "Hmm?"

"You must be Scorpius Malfoy?"

"You're a Potter." It wasn't a question just an answer.

She frowned again "Guess stating the obvious will get us nowhere."

"Guess not." He leaned his head back closing his eyes.

She took that as a sign to stop talking. Her nerves running through her every once in a while. She taped her foot impatiently just wanting to know what house she was in.

The door to her compartment opened and Albus walked in. He quickly stopped looking at Scorpius and looked back at his sister. All she could do was shrug because she didn't even know why he was in here with her.

"Mind if I sit in here with you? James is being obnoxious again." He sat next to Lily not Scorpius.

Lily smiled "No I don't mind."

"So what attracted a Malfoy in here with a Potter?" Directing the question at Lily since Scorpius seemed to be sleeping.

"I don't know I was in here alone and he just walked in. But dad told you not to call him that." She elbowed her brother.

He rubbed where she hit him "Call him what?"

"A Malfoy. He told all three of us that he doesn't want us to have any enemies in our years of Hogwarts or try to stay away from them. Plus she said don't call Scorpius a Malfoy, even if it is his last name. He wants us to respect him not make him be like his father was to our father." Lily was looking at Scorpius the whole time as she spoke to see if he would stir at all.

"Yeah yeah, you're getting more like mum every day. But I know you're right. Dad even told me to try and make friends with him."

"Really? Why?"

Albus looked at Scorpius and back at his sister "Because he wanted to show Scorpius's father that he had no hard feelings for Draco anymore. The past is the past and he wishes to make amends with him. You know dad always has a soft spot even for people who betrayed him in the past."

Lily nodded "So have you?"

"Have I what?"

"Made friends with him."

"No, he hasn't given me a chance to. He made a rude remark at me last year and I decided not to deal with him. I didn't want trouble, just wanted this to be a normal non-bullying first year." Albus leaned back against the seat. "Anyway enough about him, because if he woke up I wouldn't want to get snapped at."

That made Lily laugh a tiny bit. She loved talking to her brother Albus. It was so easy to talk to him; he was so much like dad in that way.

An hour later everyone was walking into Hogwarts with smiles on some faces and nervous expressions on others. This is the moment that Lily wished she had her father to be here with her. To hold her hand and tell her it will be ok. But she heard his voice in her head and that was good enough for now.

The first years stood in a line in the middle of the great hall waiting to be sorted. Her name was finally called and she looked at both her brothers watching her to see what house she would be put in. She sat down on the stool and looked around as the hat was set on her head. She felt Scorpius Malfoy looking at her from Hufflepuff table. The hat moved on her head and she sat there quietly.

"Ahh yes, another Potter once again. What house shall I put you in?" The hat spoke. Lily whispered Gryffindor so the hat would take in her choice. "Gryffindor, hmm? You could do great things in Gryffindor yes, yes you could. But I think I'll go with…HUFFLEPUFF!" Shouted the hat.

Lily's heart sank and she nervously walked down to the hufflepuff table looking over at her brothers sad faces. She sat across from Scorpius, avoiding eye contact with him she looked at her hands. Hufflepuff? Hufflepuff? Why not Gryffindor? Why in the same house as Scorpius? She thought to herself waiting for the rest of the students to get sorted.

Once the feast started she looked up and noticed Scorpius was staring at her. She wiped her mouth just in case she had something there. When she looked up again he was still staring at her. "Do I have something on me?"

"No." One simple word came out of his mouth, she frowned.

"No? Then why are you staring at me?"

"I heard what you said on the train. I wasn't truly asleep. Just wanted you to stop babbling."

Lily didn't say anything but she felt her cheeks go red.

"I've also noticed though that you weren't sorted into Gryffindor like the rest of your family has been. Your father, your fathers parents, your mother, her siblings, your siblings.."

Lily cut him off "Thanks Scorpius I got the message." She felt a tear run down her face betraying her as she tried to act strong. She wiped it away.

"Hey I'm just saying it must be hard. But I know what you're going through. Last year I felt the same way. I should have been in Slytherin not Hufflepuff."

Lily looked at him again "I noticed, you must be the outcast of your family then aren't you?" She said it innocently not meaning it to come off harsh but once she said it she knew he would take it as harsh not innocent.

He looked to be turning angry "I'm no outcast, non like you. After all your father's famous and you messed up his last chance to have his only daughter be a Gryffindor. You must feel so proud of yourself for messing up the line of order."

Hurt hit Lily sharply and made her heart start racing. "I wouldn't be talking if I were you." She threw her napkin down on the table and stormed out of the great hall tears running down her face.

Albus and James both got up as they watched their sister run out of the great hall from a conversation with Scorpius. What could he have said to her to get her to run out like that? Poor Lily. Albus thought. If that Scorpius hurt my sister I will make sure he runs out like a little sissy next. Thought James as he ran behind his brother to catch up to Lily.

They both hoped she didn't go far and that she was okay. Then they would deal with Scorpius later.

EM: I don't know how many chapters I am going to make this. I am working on another so I hope you like both of my stories.
