Chpt 1
"Damn girl you have to go to boarding school?" Jake asked.
"Yeah mom is sending me." What I didn't tell him was it was a boarding school for kids who did magic.
"But who am I going to break with?" He asked.
"Jake there are plenty of people."
"Yeah, but you and I win battles girl." I laughed and patted his back.
"There are five other people in the crew."
"Yeah I guess." He mumbled as we reached my apartment.
"But hey I'll see you Christmas vacation aight?" I asked.
"Okay." He said I extended my hand which he grabbed and pulled me closer patting me on the back. "Ah hell." He grabbed my entire body and embraced me. I laughed and hugged him back suddenly extremely sad I was leaving. I walked into my apartment and straight to my room and looked into my closet. It contained the all new wardrobe I would need for Hogwarts. My mother had bought it all for me; she didn't want another first year. I was leaving my loose fitting jeans and tee shirts here; I was leaving my life here to become someone new at Hogwarts. A bitch. I quickly threw all of the clothes into a trunk leaving only an outfit for tomorrow.
I woke up the next morning releasing my flaming red hair from its bonds and shaking my head so it fell elegantly about me. I never had my hair down, everything was already feeling new. I yelled for my mom to put on my make up for me seeing as I had no clue how, she just smiled and carefully applied everything. "Now what are you going to do without me?" She asked.
"Get someone else to do it." I joked.
"Sure kiddo." I laughed and pushed her hand away. Then she grabbed my hand and I sighed time for school I grabbed my trunk and she apparated us to a safe point in London and we walked the rest of the way to platform 9 and 3/4.
I carefully boarded the train thankful that I refused to give up my sneakers; I couldn't break in anything else. I walked the compartments, daring anyone to recognize me.
"Lillian?" I quickly turned and saw Seamus Finnegan looking at me trying to truly determine if it was
me.
"I actually go by Leila now." I said.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said laughing at the fact that my old potions partner of all people would recognize me.
"Wow where have you been?" He asked.
"Studying abroad." I lied, well half lied I did study in New York, under my mom.
"Yeah and how was that?"
"Wonderful." I said shooting a smile his way. I could tell he was trying his best to come to terms with my transformation. "Well I'm going to go find…" Just then I was pushed into a wall and onto my ass. It was one of her cronies. I cracked my knuckles prepared to bitch her out and fight her right here. So naturally that's what I did. "Bitch you did not just do that." I said getting up. She froze and looked back at me.
"You were in my way." She sneered.
"Then say excuse me and gently push my out of the way, not simply shove me with no words."
"You don't know who you're messing with."
"Oh shut it Millicent." I snapped. She glared at me. "So I think the real question is do you know who you're messing with?" I asked.
"I've never seen you before in my life." She snapped, "So you must not be important."
"I'm Leila Fitzpatrick; you're damn straight you've heard of me." She froze.
"As in Lillian Fitzpatrick from first year?" She said a wicked smirk on her face.
"I'm back bitch." Millicent just let out a loud laugh and turned to smirk at me. "You are going to pay Lillian just like you did first year."
"It's Leila and no Millicent I will not follow you guys and attend to your every beck and call anymore." Millicent's smile faltered and I couldn't help, but smile wickedly. She simply turned in a huff and walked away.
"I think the new name Leila is only appropriate for this new Lillian." Seamus said walking closer. "Care to join me in my compartment?"
"Gladly." I said following him away.
