Lilia awoke to hear "don't hide yourself in your regret, just love yourself and you're set. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way. " blaring from her radio alarm. She rolled out of bed and went to her dresser. She picked up her brush and started untangling her waist length reddish blonde hair.
"Are you ready to go to Hogwarts for your last year of school? " her dad, David, said as he leaned against her doorframe.
She glared at her dad through her mirror as she continued to brush her hair, "as much as I like to go back to it after attending the Quadwizard Tournament 3 Years ago, I don't understand why we have to move over to England with Uncle Sevy. "
"Because the Dark Lord has sent for us to move there. He has said that there is a specific reason for it, he just never gave details. "
Lilia set her hairbrush back on her dresser and looked at her father fully instead of through her mirror.
"I'll get to packing now then, " she said as she closed her door.
She quickly got dressed into comfy clothes, which normally involved a pair of skinny jeans, Converse shoes, and a colorful tank top (this one consisted of white stars all over a navy blue background). It was comfy, but always decent looking for anything she needed to do.
She pulled out her wand and quickly packed away everything in her room into a trunk. She opened her bedroom door to yell at her house elves to come take her trunk downstairs. As she watched everything leave her room, she kept two pieces of parchment and a quill with her. She laid in the middle of her empty floor and started writing.
Dear Harry,
It's been really nice talking with you since I left Hogwarts 3 years ago, but I have great news...I will be attending Hogwarts this year. I hate to leave my home and everyone I know here in America. It's stupid but I have to do what I have to do and I dunno which house I will be placed in, but it should be interesting to find out. I will be living with my Uncle Sevy for the rest of the summer, which yeah is only a few weeks, but before you know it you'll be seeing me again. I can't wait to see you!
Lilia
She folded this note and began writing another.
Dear Draco,
The Dark Lord has commanded me and my father to move to England with my Uncle Sevy. He never gave us a reason he just said it was important for us to move there. I'll be joining Hogwarts this year, which is ridiculous for me to just drop my last year at Salem School for Witchcraft and leave everyone here to be there. I am excited though to be seeing you again. I've missed you and everyone I met 3 years ago. And just think summer will be over before we know it and I'll be there with you. I can't wait to see you!
Lilia
She folded up this note and got up off her floor to call her black and white owl, Midnight. She gave her the letters the sent her on her way.
"Lilia!"
"Coming Dad!"
Lilia took one look around her empty room and then said goodbye to the world she knew in America.
...
Lilia sat her bags down in her new bedroom. She looked around at the empty purple walls and thought of all the things she could add to them. She collapsed down on her bed and stared up through her skylight.
"Everything alright?"
Without even looking away from her skylight she answered, "Yeah, Uncle Sevy, I'm just going to miss America."
"You'll be able to see the friends you made 3 years ago."
"Yeah, that's the only good thing about leaving America."
...
Lilia carried her new black kitten, Shadow, as she walked down the rough, cobble some street of Diagon Alley. Her trunk case with her belongs for Hogwarts floating behind her. She was on her way to meet up with her Uncle Sevy when she was knocked in her shoulder. She stumbled and tripped on the rough stones. Shadow flew out of her arms as she landed on the ground.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!"
"Maybe you should watch where you are going," snapped a voice Lilia recognized.
"Draco?" she asked looking up and seeing nothing but the sun silhouetting his face.
"Lilia?" Draco replied offering his hand to help Lilia up from the ground.
"I'm so glad to see you! Did you get my letter?" she asked, finally able to give him a once over. Quidditch was definitely suiting him well.
"Yes, has he said why he wants you here?"
"No, but he will be sending my dad on a special mission to retrieve someone. Never any details, but I do have one guess as to why I'm here."
"And that would be?" he asked with one eyebrow raised in puzzlement.
"My friendship with Harry. He probably wants me to seduce him, making him vulnerable."
Draco spat on the ground.
"That prat, mudblood loving Potter has no right to even come near a beautiful girl like you."
Lilia`s cheeks turned hot under the skin as she bent down to pick up a mewing Shadow from her feet.
"Thank you Draco, but nonetheless he's still my friend. He was so kind to my friend in the tournament, and quite the gentleman when I had to decline his invitation to the yule ball... Thanks to a certain someone."
Draco flashed his ever coy smirk.
"I don't know who you might be referring to, I remember someone having a wonderful night though."
Lilia playfully shoved him with a hand not occupied by a black fur ball.
"It was a wonderful night, even if my feet about died in those heels."
Draco took hold of Lilia`s hand she shoved him with and gently kissed the back of it.
"I must be returning to my father, I will see you at school Lils and hopefully I will see you in silver and green and not with that prat."
Draco spun on his heels and departed just like that, leaving Lilia behind to watch him leave. She sighed as she thought about the school year ahead.
