'In the 18th century witchcraft was banned, if a person, be it male or female was caught practising witchcraft he or she would be burnt at the stake. Once the trials had officially began a true witch or wizard could literally disappear, with the secret of their location concealed inside a single living being, thus the being called a secret keeper.' The words started to blur together, making them impossible to read.

Teardrops dripped on to the page leaving the reader to relish in the gloomy atmosphere of the once comforting train ride to school. Now all there was left was memories of a once happy time. Nothing remained to give hope or love. The teardrops grew less frequent and eventually stoped, leaving the world to once again return to the mind of the individual, who was silently crying them. This girl, who had suddenly given up faith was reading up on charms, spells, curses or anything that may have saved her parents from their recent state, 'it doesn't help them now,' thought the child bitterly 'if only he would have left us alone they would be alright now, and not lying in their deathbeds and I wouldn't have my sister unable to look me in the eyes any longer'

The tears were reoccurring and suddenly spilled down her cheeks again, she let the cool air surround her and started to cry, sobs racking through her body. She had never felt so depressed and now all she wanted to do is find the end carriage of the train and hurl herself off it, onto the frosty train tracks and hope to feel the pain her parents and suffered for her, to keep her safe. Suddenly the carriage door was blasted open to reveal Aurora Black who had run away from her loser brother and his crazy friends, It took Aurora about 5 minutes to realise that there was a suicidal girl sitting in the carriage ready to kill herself, but when she realised she immediately sat down and asked "What is the matter?" "Oh every thing, I hate my life and my school. My parents are dead, what could be worse?" replied a still sobbing girl.

"What is your name?" asked a very concerned Aurora

"L..l..lily E..evans, w..whats yours?" Lily managed to choke out

"Aurora Black. What happened to your parents?" inquired Aurora

"My parents were killed trying to protect me from Lord Voldemort, you know who he is? Well he killed them" Lily was now able to control herself and had stoped crying completely.

"Oh you poor dear, no wonder you were so upset. My parents are divorced, the muggle way, but I still see my father all the time. Sirius, my brother is taking it really hard though, he hasn't been at all annoying to me and it's starting to scare me."

"Sirius as in Sirius Black? One of the marauding jerks?"

"Yeah, wait you think they are jerks?! Me too!" yelped Aurora

"Students, we will be arriving at Hogwarts momentarily, please get dressed in your robes, if you haven't already done so and get ready to alight the train" Boomed a voice that echoed throughout the train.

"What house and year are you in?" asked Aurora

"Gryffindor and I'm in 5th year how bout you?"

"Same, why haven't I seen you before? Are you that girl that keeps to your self all the time and doesn't talk to anyone else?"

"I guess you could say that, but I have had so much on my mind for the last couple of months, that I only go to this school to go to lessons."

"Well I guess that explains it," stated Aurora "do you want to come and sit with me and my friends? Arabella, Beccy and Chrissy shouldn't bite."

"Ok, it beats sitting by my self." "Sure it does come on" Aurora dragged Lily over to a carriage and climbed in signalling for lily to do the same

"Oh what luck," cried Aurora "My loser brother and his crazy friends are here!"

"SHIT!" yelled Lily

"What's so bad about us?" asked Sirius pretending to look upset

"Umm ... how about you have the biggest ego problem that I have ever seen? You seem to think that the female population of this school and everywhere else was put on this planet to grace your every need, this may come as a shock to you, but I think you and your friends are the biggest jerks that I have ever laid my eyes on and I feel very sorry for Aurora because she happened to be related to you, all you have done for the past 5 years is annoy me, humiliate me, and be awful when I had just found out that Voldemort was after me. there now you know that I am very different from the rest of the female population of this pathetic school and I would like you to know that I feel extreme dislike for each and every one of YOU!" lily replied, completely losing control of her temper and laying in to Sirius.

She noticed that the carriage had stopped moving and she gracefully opened the door and climbed out, pulling Aurora, who looked extremely shocked out with her, she and Aurora made their way up to the school doors and walked into the Great Hall, they sat down at the Gryffindor table and waited patiently for Aurora's friends to arrive. The Marauding jerks came before her friends did and said very loudly "Lily...is it THAT time of the month for you or are you always like that?" Aurora had to give Lily credit for what she did next. totally ignored them and said to Aurora, "Isn't that your friends? Over there?"

Aurora looked up and waved them over. "Bella, Beccy and Chrissy this is Lily"

"Hey Lily!" yelled Beccy, she was slightly hyper from the train ride and it still hadn't worn off yet

"Lily, aren't you that loner girl in our Dorm?" questioned Chrissy

"Don't worry bout her lily, she is a bitch when she wants to be, hello I'm Bella!" Bella gave Lily a hug and whispered in her ear, "I'm really sorry about your parents"

The marauding jerks had shot Lily a death glare, which she willingly returned and listened to Dumbledore after realising that she had entirely missed the sorting ceremony. "Students this year we have a new student joining the 5th year, please welcome Mattie Haskins, she will be joining the Gryffindor house and I hope you make her feel well at home. Now for some rules and announcements.."

Lily tuned out and her mind started to drift, from the Marauding jerks to the new girl. 'I wonder why she is here' Bella and Beccy screaming out "LOOK AT MY FAIRY" shook Lily out of her thoughts! Aurora was shaking with laughter and Chrissy was looking at them as if they were dangerous bugs that needed to be killed immediately.

The dinner passed quickly and Lily climbed in to bed that night finally feeling at rest with herself and her parents death knowing that now she had friends to help her through those tough times.
