M-chan: For all of you who've been waiting—
Train: That being everyone who's read the first two movements...
M-chan: Shut up! Anyway... For all of you who've been waiting, here's the third movement.
Train: The first chapter. Finally. She took so long to type this. And M-chan does not own the Harry Potter series.
M-chan: puts away mallet Thank you.

Chapter 1: Training
Lily breathed in and began stretching as Sirius instructed her to. Sirius stood over the girl, watching her warm up. "Lily, I can see that you're flexible and that's good. But you're also built like a seeker, meaning you're small and fast. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes. I just know something's going to happen, and you promised!"
"Alright, alright. I'll teach you... umm..."
Lily sighed. "You're going to teach me how to fight barehanded and with a knife."
Sirius sighed this time. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, first off..."
Draco frowned, concentrating on his history essay when Lucius walked in. His mother, Blaise and his parents followed. He looked at Blaise, who just shrugged. Lucius was the first to speak.
"Draco. Blaise. You are both friends with Lily and I assume you care for her."
Draco's eyebrows shot up and Blaise looked confused. "Of course Mr Malfoy."
"Then listen: I know that you've figured out Voldermort is going to be coming after you three. You must be prepared for anything."
"Meaning, father?"
"Mr Zabini and I are going to start teaching you."
"Teach us what?"
"What you need to know to protect Lily..."
Sirius sat across from Lily at breakfast. "You know, you're getting pretty good..."
"Really?"
"Yes. I think it's time to teach you some stuff I picked up while I was at school."
"Uncle Sirius, when would I want to know how to piss off half the girls in my house?"
"Hey!"
Blaise stood, leaning in the doorway of the leaky Cauldron. Draco was somewhere in Diagon Alley, probably down Knockturn Alley, and Lily hadn't shown up yet. He watched the Muggles pass by, waiting for the girl.
"Blaise!"
He turned in time to be knocked over by who he was waiting for. "Lily!"
"Oh! Sorry Blaise. Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine. Lily, could you get off me?"
Lily stood up and the helped the boy up. "I'm so sorry Blaise!!"
"I said it's alright. I'm glad to see you're fine. Hello Miss Evans."
Petunia, who had appeared behind Lily, nodded to Blaise. "Is Lucius here? And your father?"
"Yes, they're talking with Fudge."
"He's here too, is he?" Petunia walked past the two children, spoke to Tom, the innkeeper, and walked up the stairs. Tom walked over to Lily. "Miss, if I could show you to your room?"
Lily nodded. "Of course."
"I'll help you."
"Thanks Blaise." They carried her trunk up to room number 11. Tom handed her the key and left. Lily sighed, slipping it into her skirt pocket.
"Are you coming? I told Draco that we'd join him in Diagon Alley once you came."
"Well, let's go!"
Lily followed Blaise, stumbling down the stairs a few times and then tripping down to the bottom, into Blaise. His arms wrapped around her immediately as lost and then regained his footing.
"Lily, are you alright? You've never tripped like that before."
She blinked, pale pink spreading across her cheeks like wildfire. She stood firmed on her feet, stepping out of Blaise's arms. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You're sure?"
"Of course. Don't worry, let's find Draco."
Lily hurried down the final flight of stars, heading towards the door leading to Diagon Alley, Blaise following. She didn't notice him watching her, worried. "How was your summer so far?"
Lily turned her head to face him. "Fine. I spent most of my time with my Uncle Sirius after he got back from Romania, he was checking on the dragon colony. What about yo—ack!"
Lily bumped into a boy her age and Blaise, not noticing the sudden stop, bumped into her. She fell, pulling him down with her. The three landed onto the cobblestone street.
"Oww..."
"Lily, Blaise, could you two get off me? I'm not that strong."
Blaise rolled off the boy's arm and looked over at him, not bothering to stand up. "Fancy bumping into you here."
"Oh, the bumping was fine. It was just the falling onto stone and being landed on that wasn't so great. I've probably got bruises now..."
"It's the end of the world now that your creamy white skin has a few bruises, isn't it?" The boy shot Blaise a questioning look and the Slytherin looked back innocently. "What?"
"Nothing..."
Lily rubbed her head, turning to face her cushion. "I'm sorry! I wasn't watching where I was... Draco!"
Lily hugged her friends, squeezing the air out of him. "Lily...can't breathe..."
"Sorry!"
M-kun: Good, good. Short though. Why is Lily so clumsy now?
---
M-chan: She's not that clumsy.
Train: You'd know; you're a total klutz.
M-chan: Hey, I wasn't that clumsy until I was 14 or so.
Train: Yep, so would you mine explaining why Lily's so clumsy?
M-chan: She hasn't had enough sleep, since Sirius has been teaching her self-defence and stuff like that...
Train: Right...
