Disclaimer: I do not own harry potter or any other characters J.K Rowling created.
Ignore the 16 years later bit at the end of Deathly Hallows.
The idea came to me in a day dream at school and I spent the next 10 minutes trying to remember it all.I can't write to well so it may be a little odd.
Un beta'd!
Not Gryffindor
Chapter 1: To Hogwarts
"I can't wait to go to my first class. Can you?" Sophia asked. Hermione had raised her children with a thirst for knowledge that rivalled her own."Lily?" Sophia waved a hand in front of lily's to get her attention. "Lily May Potter are you ignoring me!?"
."Huh? Sorry daydreaming" Lily asked looking across at her frizzy haired cousin. Sophia frowned.
"I asked you if you could wait till our first class and you shouldn't say 'huh' it makes you sound dumb or something." Lily sighed.
"Sorry Sophie, no I can't wait till our first class either."
"Gryffindor is gonna be sooo fun it has a huge common room with a fire and you can stay up as late as you like and we'll be sharing a dorm so we can stay up all night together studying."
Not if i can help it Lily thought. Lily loved her cousins she really did but Eric was obnoxious and Sophoe was a know it all and a chatter box. Not a good combination. She stood up hoping she would find some better company in another cabin.
"Where are you going?" Sophie asked.
Um? Sophie would go berserk if i told her i didn't want to hang with her.
"The ladies room?"
"Oh, ok" Sophie looked down at her new transfiguration book and didn't realise lily hadn't come back till the train stopped.
Lily wandered up the train looking for a likely compartment but all of them were packed. The last compartment held two girls. They wore Slytherin robes yet they were in the first year carriage and surely unsorted. The girl closest to the door had short black hair that swung as she turned her head to talk to the other occupant of the room. This girl had long strawberry blond hair that reached her hips and big brown eyes. She looked up and brown met green. She motioned to the other girl who turned around saw Lily and immediately stood up and opened the door.
"Is there a reason you're standing outside our door or were you eavesdropping on our conversation." Lily blushed as red as her hair as she stuttered trying to find an excuse.
"I...um...i was..." she took a deep breath "i was looking for some company and you looked nice so i was going to say hi but you were talking so i waited till you were finished talking. My names Lily what's yours?" She said all this really fast without breaks and then looked down at her shoes.
There was a shocked silence before the one at the door decided to speak.
"Ok," She gave the blond a look that clearly said What are we going to do with this weirdo? The blonde mouthed let her in.
"Hi lily, my name's Malorie farewether and this is Evangeline Zabini, but you can call her Eva."
"Hi" Eva waved her hand and Malorie closed the door. "You may sit with us, we were discussing pranks to pull on Gryffindor students, my father told me that i was to pull as many pranks as possible and even gave me tips and ideas. You're not a Gryffindor are you?" she asked worriedly.
"I don't know. My father really wants me to be in Gryffindor but i don't want to spend every moment with my annoying know it all cousin."
"Oh," the girls paled slightly, "My whole family's been in Slytherin for like, hundreds of years or something so i obviously will be and Malorie is the same. We're actually distantly related, our great-great-great-great-great-great grandmothers were sisters. I have a sister already at Hogwarts, she's in fifth year. Before i hopped on the train she told me stories about how they flush first years heads down the toilets and then let the dragons loose on you, but she was just teasing me and got into trouble of mother. Do you have any sisters?"
"Yes three, Georgia, Faith and Alexis all younger than me. I'm the oldest."
Lily looked up into Malorie's shocked face. "You have three younger sisters?"
Lily nodded "Yes and two brothers."
"You must have an army of nurse's at home to look after you. I had two and that was just for me. My sister had a further three."
"No. My mother raises us but my uncles help out at times taking us for a couple of days every now and then." Malorie gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. Eva just looked at her closely.
"You mean to say that you never had a nurse. Not ever?"
"no, there was never any need."
"well" After an awkward silence Eva started talking about her new racing broom and all thought of nurse's was gone. The girls spent the rest of the train ride conversing about trivial things.
I know it's kinda short but i just wanted to post something. The next chapter will be longer and involve Lily's arrival at Hogwarts, the reaction of her new found friends of her family and the sorting.
Luv Ya
