New story, I really want to finish this one with quite a few chapters, I don't wanna rush things. It gets kind of rushed near the end but I didn't want to spend much time on them figuring out. I will try to get the next chapter up soon.
Disclaimer: I'll own everything in here till I visit Narnia....wait, I HAVE been to Narnia, darn
Climbing into the carriage that took
Harry to Hogwarts, he saw a girl around the same age as him with jet
black hair and piercing brown eyes stood near an empty carriage.
Harry noted that she looked lonely, her lips were pulled down into a
frown and her eyes were watching the floor.
"What's the
matter, Harry?" Hermione asked following his gaze toward the girl.
"Go on without me, I'll be there soon." Harry answered
getting out of the carriage. He watched as it rolled away with his
friends on board. Harry turned around and started walking towards the
girl; she looked up as he got closer. She looked familiar even though
Harry had never seen her before.
"Hello, I'm Harry." He
introduced himself, the girl looked him up and down before
talking.
"My father has told me about you, I'm Lily." Harry
was taken aback by her words, firstly because she had his mother's
name and secondly because her father had told her about him although
they had never met.
"Your father knows me?" Harry asked, the
girl simply nodded before looking at her arm.
"Excuse me, Harry,
but if we don't leave now we will certainly be late." Lily told
him as she gracefully stepped into the carriage and sat down. Harry
followed her and the carriage set off.
He could feel her eyes on him as
they made their way to Hogwarts. When he looked up Lily was sat with
her hands rested on her bare knees, she was wearing a dark blue dress
that had black flowers trailing the hem.
"How come I've
never seen you before?" Harry asked breaking the comfortable
silence.
"I'm new." She replied smiling at him.
"But
aren't you the same age as me? You can't just start at Hogwarts
when your 16." Lily chuckled and went on to explain;
"I
transferred here from another wizarding school in France, I got my
letter for Hogwarts when I was 11 but my father did not wish for me
to attend. But since my mother re-married I was sent to England so I
could be with him."
"Sorry about your mother." Harry moved
so he was sat next to her.
"Oh, the man she married is a bit
weird. Just like mother." The carriage stopped and they both
climbed out, Lily walked with Harry till they got to the Great Hall.
Harry went to sit with Ron and Hermione, and Lily followed Filch to
the front of the hall.
"Who is she?" Ron asked as
Dumbledore shook her dainty hand. Harry was about to speak but
Dumbledore opened his mouth first, Lily still stood by his side.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts, we have a new student
joining us. This is Lily Black." Dumbledore said and Lily stepped
forward, "she has come from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic." Harry
watched as Lily walked towards Slytherin table and sat down next to
Draco who gave her a warm smile, something rare of the Slytherin boy.
When Harry turned back to his friends Hermione had her hand stretched
towards him.
"He's probably in her family, her last name is
Black." She told him.
"But she doesn't look like any of the
Black family." Harry muttered making a mental note to ask about her
family later on.
Harry wasn't in the mood for a
feast; he sat shuffling food across his plate.
"Harry, she
keeps looking over at you. It's annoying." Ron huffed, Harry
turned around to see Lily gazing at him.
"I think she likes
you." Neville added, Harry wasn't paying attention to them
because Lily was stood up and following Draco out of the Great Hall.
Hermione, Ginny, Neville and Ron watched as Harry jumped up and
followed them too.
"I missed you so much, Draco, you
haven't really changed much, a bit taller." Harry could hear
Lily's voice in the corridor, he could slightly see her and Draco
sat on the window ledge as he peered his head around the corner.
"I
missed you, Lily, being in France for so long. I did wonder why I
didn't get to see you this summer." Harry felt a pang of
jealously at the fact Draco knew Lily. He couldn't hear them
anymore as everyone filed out from the Great Hall and busied the
corridors. As he turned the corner with Ron beside him, Harry saw
Lily hugging Draco as they passed.
Harry headed off to Potions the next
morning, he wasn't looking forwards to lessons but the chance that
Lily was in his lesson might make him ignore Professor Snapes snide
comments.
As he walked into Potions a few seconds late Snape
glared up at him.
"Mr Potter, may I ask why you are late?"
Snape snarled.
"Sorry, sir, it won't happen again." Harry
drawled out heading for his seat next to Ron.
"And to make sure
it doesn't, 10 points off Gryffindor." Harry could hear the
sniggers from the Slytherin students in the class. Harry saw Lily
with her hand raised at the back of the dark classroom.
"Yes,
Miss Black." Harry noticed that Snape had difficulty saying her
last name, like it was a great burden to use. Lily lowered her hand
and began to speak.
"Do you not think it is unfair that you take
many points off Gryffindor because Harry was a few seconds late?"
Harry felt a smirk play at the edges of his mouth.
"Do you not
think it is unfair that you were allowed to join Hogwarts even though
you are 16 years of age?" Snape argued back, to everyone's
surprise Lily got out of her seat and walked towards him.
"Do
you not think it is unfair that my mother has gone crazy and my
father seems to hate every child he meets?"
"Do you not think
it is unfair that now your father has to look after his child because
your mother decided to run off with a death eater?!"
"Do you
not think it is unfair that I now have to see my father every day
even though I hate him?!" Lily was now shouting, her wand pointing
at professor Snape.
"That is quite enough, sit back down."
Everyone watched as Lily muttered something under her breath and
proceeded to return to her seat beside Draco. Professor Snape turned
back to the class, waving a hand making the books before the students
flip open.
"One hour starting now." He said returning to sit
at his desk. Everyone piled towards the potions cabinet.
Halfway through the class Harry
looked up at Lily who was working across from him with Draco helping
beside her.
"What you did was really brave, Lily, you should be
a Gryffindor." He told her, her head shot up and she stared into
his eyes.
"I like it in Slytherin." Was all she said, Draco
snickered at her words.
"Malfoy, how do you know Lily?" Harry
asked after an awkward silence. Lily peered up at Harry from her
cauldron with what seemed to be nervousness.
"It's none of
your business Potter!" Draco snarled as glass could be heard
shattering behind them.
"Mr Longbottom, stay behind after class
to clean this mess up, everyone else, OUT!" Snape roared stomping
over to Neville who stared back in fear.
"Is he always this
clumsy?" Lily hushed to Draco who just nodded.
Walking down the corridor with Ron
and Hermione, Harry felt like he didn't want to talk to Lily any
more.
"That Lily girl is a bit stupid isn't she?" Hermione
stated, "I wonder who her parents are though."
"Well, who
does she look like?" Ron asked, his face screwed in thought.
"She
looks like that Bella woman." Hermione answered, Harry looked up at
Hermione.
"Maybe her mum is Bellatrix, I mean she looks like her
and has her maiden name. But who is her dad?" Ron questioned,
Hermione was about to speak but closed her mouth as Lily walked up
behind Harry.
"Hello, Harry." She nodded in his direction;
Draco wasn't following behind her as he had been all day.
"Hey,
Lily, where's your little lap dog?" Harry asked, Lily took
offence to his words and her hand came up ready to slap him. Luckily
for Harry he ducked before she could.
"Do not talk about Draco
like that!" She hissed with a slight French accent coming through
her voice.
"Sorry, is he your boyfriend or something?" Harry
asked after checking that Lily had lost some of her anger.
People
had stopped in the halls to watch the scene before them.
"It's
just he's always with you, and I saw you hugging." Harry winced
as Lily glared at him and stormed off.
"You better watch your
back, Potter," She shouted over her shoulder at him, "There are a
lot of horrible people out there!"
"You're great with the
ladies." Ron muttered as they slinked off to Gryffindor common
room.
I have actually been to Narnia, the entrance is under my bed.
