"Lily darling, get up we are leaving in one hour!" the voice of my dad carried up the stairs and into my room through the now open door. I groaned and flipped over onto my back staring straight ahead at my calendar. During the night it had automatically flipped from the August page to the September page where the first box was circled in thick red marker. Why does summer always have to go so quickly! Don't get me wrong I love school but the freedom of being home at Godric's Hollow for two months is always the best time of the year.
"Lily listen to your father and get out of bed now!" the very different voice of my mum was heard. She was already stressed like she always was on the first day of term. I decided it was best not to push her so slowly got up and slipped off the bed until my feet touched down on the cool wooden floor. Pulling on my blue linen robe, I padded over to the door. The hall was clear so I stepped outside and headed for the bathroom.
Once inside and behind the locked door I switched on the shower and let it run until steam filled the room. Letting my robe slip of my shoulders I pulled open the screen door and stepped under the scorching waterfall. I lifted my head and let it fall straight across my face waking me up.
I reached to my right to grab my shampoo off the little shelf. Once again it was nearly empty and I knew it couldn't have been me since mum had only bought it the other week. I scowled to myself and made a mental note to hit James round the head for using my stuff without asking again.
Minutes ticked by as I slowly lathered my hair up in shampoo and then massaged in my conditioner. I was aware how long I was taking so it wasn't a surprise when there was a loud knock on the door and the sound of a deep voice threatening me. I laughed and shut off the shower. Grabbing a fluffy towel off the large towel rack I quickly dried myself and wrapped my hair up at the same time. When I was dry all over I pulled my robe back on and tied it tightly and then quickly pulled open the door.
Stood outside were both my brothers, their raven black hair messy and their pyjamas crumpled. Albus's green eyes shone with anger whereas James's brown ones were etched with tiredness.
"Why do you always take so bloody long in the shower?" Albus growled. I smirked at him.
"Because it takes a bloody long time to look good. Something you wouldn't know much about dear brother" I replied quickly, slapping his cheek gently. James laughed from his left so I rounded on him.
"And you, stop using my stuff! I've never known a boy who needs to use so much jasmine and lotus flower shampoo!" I snapped reaching up and hitting him round the head like I promised myself I would. It was now Albus's time to laugh. James stopped laughing and glared at me. I smirked at them both before skipping down the hall and into my room.
I switched on the stereo and turned the volume up full blast. I quickly picked out an outfit to wear and used a muggle hairdryer to dry my auburn hair quickly. Then sat at my vanity I applied my makeup. I skipped the foundation since most days my fair skin was flawless and I'd rather be slightly pale then look like an orange. I circled my eyes with eyeliner making my hazel eyes stand out more and added some mascara to my already long eyelashes. Lastly I added some light lip-gloss. I then pulled my hair back in to a messy bun letting the loose bits fall down and frame my face.
After pulling on my brown skinny jeans, a muggle band t-shirt and a green zippy hoody on I double checked I had packed everything in my trunk and everything I needed for the journey in my backpack. I then slipped on my white converse and drew the curtains before dragging my trunk out into the hall.
"Mum! I'm ready!" I screamed down the stairs.
"Good girl, bring your trunk downstairs and come have your breakfast. Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione and the kids will be here any minute. As soon as she said it I heard the tell tale sound of someone floo'ing into the kitchen. It was tradition for Ron, Hermione, Hugo and Rose to floo over in the morning of every first day of term and then we would apparate to the station from here. I heard the greetings start downstairs and decided to go join in. Heaving my trunk to the edge of the stairs I let it balance for a second before giving it a slight kick and letting it tumble down the stairs. It made more noise than I expected it to. My parents and Aunt and Uncle both came running in to the foyer to assess the damage.
"Why did your trunk just come flying down the stairs Lily?" My dad asked but I knew from his tone he already knew the answer.
"It was heavy." I shrugged simply. Mum and dad both glared at me and I waiting for the shouting to start but the sound of Uncle Ron distracted them.
"No Lily you did it wrong. When I was younger I would ride it down the stairs, that way you don't have to carry it and it's an awesome ride. Two birds with one stone as Hermione always says!" Ron announced making me laugh as I started down the stairs towards my relatives.
"Ronald! Don't go giving my daughter any more crazy ideas!" My mum shouted at her brother before walking off into the kitchen.
We all laughed and followed her into the kitchen where Rose and Hugo were sat at the table eating cereal. I smiled and skipped over to give them both hugs before joining them. Dad sat down beside me and picked up the paper opening it straight to the quidditch scores. I turned my head and scanned the front page whilst shovelling cornflakes into my mouth. The headline was 'Malfoys return to England for the first time in 10 years!' and beneath it was an old photo of a tall, pale blonde man with his arm around who I presumed to be his wife. A young boy of about 6 stood beside them turning his head from the cameras. I frowned remembering the many heated conversations Dad and Uncle Ron always had about a certain Malfoy in their year when they drank.
"Dad?" I asked.
"Hmmm?" He replied not looking up from the page.
"Is that the Malfoy you and Uncle Ron always shout about?" I asked pointing to the front page. Dad looked up quickly at me and then flipped the paper so he could see where I was pointing. His mouth fell open.
"Merlin!" he gasped. Mum, Hermione and Ron all looked up. Dad turned the paper around so they could all see, his mouth still hanging open.
"That bastard!" Ron announced after a while getting up off his chair and leaning in so he could read the smaller font. I quickly went over all I knew about the Malfoy's in my mind. They were a rich pureblood family dating back centuries. Lucius Malfoy was a death eater during the first war. When Voldemort remerged whilst my parents were at Hogwarts he rejoined Voldemort's army along with his wife Narcissa and son Draco who was in dad's year. Draco was Dad, Ron and Hermione's enemy and they spoke ill of him a lot. Especially when they drank. After the war Lucius had been sent to Azkaban but Narcissa and Draco were not. Draco married Astoria Greengrass and they had a son the same year as Mum had Albus but they fled the country about 10 years ago when they couldn't cope with the media attention 24/7.
"Does is say what they are doing back?" Hermione asked both her husband and my dad. They both sat and read in silence for a moment.
"No, it just says that they have returned after not being heard of for ten years." Dad spoke looking up at Hermione with a strange look on his face.
"It also says that their son will be attending Hogwarts this year." Ron added looking up with the same expression. Hermione and my mum both frowned. Ron looked over at Rose, Hugo and I.
"You will not associate with this Malfoy boy. Do you hear me?" He told us firmly and we all nodded our heads in unison.
"Good, now that's sorted what was Puddlemere's score last night Harry?" Ron asked his best friend and the tension was suddenly gone. I went about eating my breakfast and soon enough the boys joined us. They did the same and 10 minutes later we were all gathered in the foyer where one by one we disappeared with a crack.
"Right kids this way." Hermione grabbed everyone's attention and led us over to the wall inbetween platform 9 and 10. She had us line up and like every year went along and tapped us on the shoulder telling us it was our turn to run through to the other side.
On my turn I glided through the wall easily, when I emerged in the other side I stopped to stare at the scarlet engine watching the billowing steam forever flowing from the large pipes on top of it.
"Ahh shit!" I cried out as Albus appeared behind me and ran his trolley straight into my back. I turned around and shot him the death glare but he just shrugged and manoeuvred around me to find the rest of the Weasley-Potter brood. I sighed and followed him before James decided to make an appearance.
Soon enough we both spotted the sea of red hair in the middle of the throngs of people and made our way over. Aunt Angelina quickly spotted Albus's dark mop of hair and we were soon pounced on by everyone else. Each of the aunts gave us kisses on the cheeks and the uncles embraced us tightly. All my cousins closed in once the adults were done and gave us both bear hugs despite only seeing us a couple of weeks ago for Dad's birthday party. They soon moved on to Rose, Hugo and James behind us and we were left finally able to breathe. After our trunks were safely on the train I watched as Albus spotted some of his own friends and jogged off in their direction. That was when the last of the family appeared. Uncle Percy and Aunt Audrey walk quickly towards us. Behind them was sour faced Molly, looking almighty and superior with her shiny head girl badge pinned proudly to her chest. I smirked; Molly had to be the least liked cousin due to her snooty and unwelcoming personality. Of course I love her, she's my cousin I have to but doesn't mean I have to like her! I reckon her becoming Head girl will make her even more disliked. Although every cloud has a silver lining because trudging along behind mundane Molly is the cousin I'm closest to and my best friend Lucy Weasley. She's the complete opposite to Molly! Funny, cheeky, friendly and she likes nothing better than to have a game of quidditch and to help the boys out with a prank, exactly like me! She spots me and squeals, shoving past Molly so she can run towards me. I see Uncle Percy smile, even though he's glad that Molly turned out so responsible and so like him I think he loves that Lucy is such a free spirit and so unlike him.
"Lils I've missed you sooo much!" Lucy screams whilst catapulting herself into my arms. I laugh and hug her back.
"Lucy you only saw me two days ago but yeah I've missed you too!" we both laughed and still hugging headed over to where our family had started to regroup. The train let out a high pitched whistle and it was like a signal for all the mothers to start crying. I looked around; Aunt Fluer's perfect makeup was trailing down her face. Aunt Angelina had her face buried in Fred's hair. Aunt Hermione was zipping up Hugo's sweatshirt whilst hugging Rose. Aunt Audrey was trying to kiss Lucy whilst she squirmed and my mum was stroking Albus's hair whilst crying into my dad's chest. I laughed out loud; it looked like we were never going to come back when in fact they would see us at Christmas. Finally after hugging my dad and peeling myself out of mum's death grip I boarded the train. When inside I found a compartment quickly and leaned out the window to wave goodbye as well as indicate to my cousins which compartment to sit in. I waved until the compartment was full of my cousins and their closest friends; I waved until my family was nothing but a speck in the distance. Only when I could no longer see that speck did I sit back and snuggle up to the closet person who happened to be Louis who I am also close with and pull out a book.
The train journey was uneventful. Despite uncle Ron's warning I kept an eye out for the Malfoy boy. I don't know why, just being curious I suppose. By the time we got close to Hogwarts I had finished my book and hadn't seen Malfoy once. That would change at dinner though; he would have to be sorted with all the first years.
"Lils, you want to go change into our robes?" I looked up to see Lucy had clambered over James and Louis to talk to me. I nodded noticing everyone else was already in theirs.
Yeah, let's go cuz." I replied picking up my backpack and sliding open the door. Once outside we made our way to the now deserted toilets and quickly pulled on our skirts, shirts, jumpers and lastly our robes. Putting all our other clothes in our bags we left the toilets in record time with our ties undone round our necks.
Everyone was awake and excited when we entered. There was Louis and Molly with their Blue ties. Hugo with his yellow tie and James, Fred, Roxanne, Rose, Dominique and Albus with their red ties.
Lucy and I sat down next to Albus and Fred and did up our green ties. Yes you heard right, Lucy and I are in Slytherin. It was a huge shock to everyone when I was sorted into the snake pit, especially when even Albus had made Gryffindor. I remember the shock and the sudden feeling of being terrified. My whole life I had had a huge family and I was suddenly alone with all these new people. You can imagine the shock and relief i felt when Lucy was also sorted there. They always said we were so alike.
Now everyone just dealt with it, Lucy and I stuck together most of the time. We had friends in our house but we were still close to our family and spent some nights in the Gryffindor common room. Silence fell across the compartment as we pulled into the station, you could feel the excitement. You can say what you want about school but everyone knows the Weasley/Potter's secretly love it.
When we got off the train we split up into year groups for the carriages. Lucy, Louis, Hugo and I grabbed one together. Albus, Roxy, Dom, Rose grabbed the next. That left James and Fred with Molly in the other. We all laughed as Fred and James shot us pained expressions as Molly started talking.
I sat next to Lucy on the Slytherin table waiting for the sorting to be over so I could finally eat. It used to be interesting but with it now being the 4th time I'd seen it I was wishing it to be over so I didn't have an embarrassing huge noise coming from stomach moment. Finally the last kid was called up and sorted into hufflepuff. I looked to the table expectantly, waiting for food to appear but it didn't.
"Now this year we have a new student joining us. He is in the sixth year and not yet sorted so once he has been placed the feast will begin." Headmistress McGonagall announced to the inpatient and hungry crowd. I looked over to where she was pointing and saw a tall figure. I couldn't see much since he had his hood up but he strutted confidently over to the stool and sat down. I guessed that was Malfoy.
McGonagall raising the hat and held it over his head, she reached up and pulled down the hood before placing the hat on his head. Whilst the hat sorted him I had a chance to study him properly. He had the traditional Malfoy platinum blonde hair just like most of the Weasley's had red hair. His face and nose were pointed and his cheek bones were obvious. From what I had seen moments ago he was very well built. I couldn't see his eyes properly yet but my first impression was this boy was seriously good looking. Wait what am I thinking! I was specifically warned to stay away from this boy, he's a Malfoy, and he's bad news. And anyways he's in the sixth year and I don't even know his first name!
"Slytherin!" the cry of the sorting hat bought me out of my trance. My table let out a cheer and I found myself joining in. I watched closely as Malfoy strutted over to the table with a smirk on his face. He left in his wake a line of gaping girls and frowning boys. I hadn't even spoken to the boy and I knew he was an arrogant twat but that didn't stop me wanting to know everything about him, starting with his name. I leant across to Lucy.
"Do you know his first name?" I whispered in her ear. She looked at me.
"Who blond hottie?" she waved her hand in his direction. I nodded.
"Lils I don't even know his last name love." She laughed before picking up her knife and fork ready for food.
"It's Malfoy. He's the son of Draco Malfoy." I told her but she wasn't listening. I frowned and looked up and to my left. Malfoy had just sat down and was looking straight at me. My face morphed into what I could only imagine would be shock surprise which caused him to smirk arrogantly. I frowned a turned my attention to the feast which had suddenly appeared.
Malfoy had stared at me on and off throughout the whole feast. I mentioned it to Lucy but she didn't seem to notice. We were now making our way slowly down to the common room hoping to miss the rush of the first years.
We were lucky as we got to the common room it was completely empty, everyone was in their dorm rooms sorting out trunks and beds and stuff. Lucy and I decided to wait to do all that so instead sat down on our favourite leather sofa and started to chat casually.
Only 5 minutes had passed when we heard the wall that marked the entrance to the common room slide open and in came Malfoy. He scanned the room quickly before spotting us and smirking. I felt Lucy tense behind me and I knew she was intrigued by this new boy, so was I! It only took him 5 long strides to reach us and when he did he sat down on the sofa opposite us and crossed his legs. He then leant forward and cocked his head to one side. Now I could see him properly I noticed his eyes were a deep grey colour, something that I had never seen before in eyes. Lucy broke the silence by shoving her hand forwards and speaking.
"I'm Lucy Weasley, nice to meet you..." She said trailing off politely since we didn't yet know his name. He smirked and returned the shake.
"Scorpius Malfoy the first." He spoke; he voice was silky and had a hint of a foreign accent. I snorted and he cocked his head in my direction and raised his eyebrows. I snorted loudly.
"I'm sorry." I laughed "but why did you say the first?" I asked.
"Because there are many repeated names in my family but I am the first Scorpius." He answered simply, his head still cocked. "And you are?"
"Lily Potter the second." I answered smirking making sure to say 'the second' loudly and clearly. He copied my smirk.
"Ahh a Potter and a Weasley and in Slytherin of all houses!" he exclaimed. "What year are you girls in?"
"Fourth." I answered quickly and simply. He looked surprised.
"Oh I thought you looked older." I was still troubling to place his accent.
"Well my birthday is in 3 days so I'm the oldest in the year." I told him coolly. He just raised his eyebrows again and nodded.
"Fair enough, see you soon Lily Potter the second." He said smirking "Bye Lucy." And with that he was gone.
"Wow he is smoking hot!" Lucy exclaimed once he had disappeared into the boy's dorms. I just nodded and got up, there was something weird about that boy but I
already knew I was not going to able to stop thinking about him.
So that's that. This idea literally just popped into my head yesterday and I thought I would upload it and see what everyone thinks. Let me know?
