Three years ago, she watched James go off. Two years ago, she watched Albus. Now it was finally her turn. Lily Potter pushed her trolley anxiously through the crowded Muggle train station.

James was talking to her about how bad Slytherins were. "And they stink. That's why you have to get into Gryffindor. Lily, are you listening to me? This is important information!"

"No it's not. I'm not going to get into Slytherin. I'm not cunning or arrogant, so hah." Lily bounced on the balls of her feet, her chin length auburn hair bouncing around her face. Truth be told, Lily wanted to get into Slytherin. She was tired of being known as Harry Potter's only daughter. She was a sneaky snake, and she knew it.

"Only an arrogant person would say they're not arrogant," James retorted.

Albus snorted. "Then you're very arrogant, James. Leave her alone, it's her first day! Let Lily enjoy it."

All of the Potters came up to Platform 9 3/4. Harry placed his hand on the small of his daughter's back. "You ready, Lily?"

A radiant smile lit up the youngest Potter's face. "Definitely." Lily took a deep breath, then ran straight for the wall, sliding easily through it. Soon her brothers and parents were at her side.

"Oh, look there's Ron and Hermione." Ginny waved to them. All of them made their way to the other Weasley bunch.

Rose sat on her trolley, with a book in her lap. Hugo was twirling his wand in his hand, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Hi, Lily," Hugo said.

"Are you excited?" Rose asked her, hopping off the trolley. She was pretty like her mum, even if she was only thirteen.

"Very," replied Lily. "Are we all going to share a compartment?" She didn't want to, but if she was going to convince the rest of her family she wanted to be in Gryffindor for the next few hours, she had to play nice.

"Of course we are," James piped in. He placed an arm around Lily, squishing her to him. She squirmed under him. "Unless you got a hot date or something."

Lily scoffed, finally getting out from under his arm. "I'm 11, James."

"You kids better get on the train," Hermione informed them. Tears streaked her cheeks, and she pulled Hugo into a hug.

Lily hugged both her parents, and Aunt and Uncle. "Love you, Mum."

Ginny covered her mouth with her hands. "I love you, too, Lily. Have a great first year."

Harry bent down so he was eye level with Lily. "No matter what house you get into, your mum and I both love you, you know that?"

"I know, Dad, I love you guys too." She hugged Harry rightly before releasing him.

All of the kids piled onto the train, waving to their parents from the compartment they chose. Thankfully, there were only five people, so it wasn't that crowded. Lily and Hugo sat on one side, James, Rose, and Albus on the other.

There was silence for about three minutes before James announced, "I love you guys, but you're boring. I'm gonna go find my girlfriend." It was his first girlfriend, Sabrina Finnigan. Everyone knew it wasn't going to last, but no one had the heart to tell him.

"And, erm," Albus fidgeted nervously in his seat, "I have to... Go find my friends." He got up and left the compartment before anybody could respond.

"Guess it's just us!" Rose said half-heartedly. She looked bored.

"Just go, Rosie," Hugo told his sister. "We'll be fine, won't we, Lily?"

Lily knew that he wanted to talk to her alone without the watchful gaze of his sister. They had "evil" plans to discuss. "Yeah, it's fine, really. I'm sure you'd rather-" She was gone. Lily smiled at Hugo. "Mission successful."

Hugo moved over to the other side so they could face each other. "Did you get the stuff?" He said it like they were dealing drugs in a movie.

"We're not super-villans, Hugo. They're just firecrackers from Uncle George's shop. And you were supposed to get some, too, I mean you're dad works their." Lily pulled a knapsack from her trunk.

Hugo laughed. "We should be super-villans. And I did get stuff. I have Extendable Ears, Puking Pastilles, and some other stuff. My dad brings stuff home for Rosie and me. I stole hers, she never uses them anyway."

"Perfect, Hugo. Now we just have to get into Slytherin. Remember, just think Slytherin. And you probably won't even have to, you're already a sneaky snake." She smiled evilly at her cousin. "We both are."

He looked down at his own knapsack, looking a bit nervous. "Yeah, about getting into Slytherin..."

"Hugo, you promised! It's the easiest way for us to pull this off without getting caught." She gave him a pleading look, gripping his hand in hers.

Hugo smiled wildly. "Kidding."

Lily shoved the shorter boy against his seat. "God, don't do that!" She put her hand over her heart, feigning a heart attack. "You really are a snake, Hugo. It's perfect."

"But what if neither of us get into Slytherin? What if only one of us does? Then what?"

The two eleven years played innocent very well, but they were both incredibly smart and sneaky. "Don't think like that," Lily snapped. "And if it does happen, we'll figure something out."

The compartment door opened. A round lady stood with a cart full of sweets. "Can I get you kids anything?"

Lily gave the lady and innocent smile. "I'll have three Chocolate Frogs, and one box of Bott's Every Flavored Beans, please." She fished in her pocket for two galleons, handing them to the lady. "Keep the change."

"Thank you, dear. Anything for you, sir?"

The other Weasley rubbed his hands together. "Same as her." He paid, shoving the sweets into his pockets. When the lady left, Hugo jumped up from his seat. "Blimey! I almost forgot!"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Forgot what?"

He fished through his pockets full of sweets until he found what he was looking for. "This." He held up a black bottle, no more than two inches. "It's a prototype. Uncle George gave it to me. Just a drop in anything, turns whoever drank its face into a hivey mess. Brilliant, isn't it?"

Lily took the bottle from him, turning it over in her hands. "What's it called?"

"Doesn't have a name yet. Uncle George said if I come up with one, to write him."

She shoved it into her knapsack, smiling. "Great. Now we wait."

It's short, but it's just the beginning. It was fun making Lily sneaky. Did you like it? Tell me in a review, and I'll update! :D
