THE SECOND GENERATION
Chapter One- The Hogwarts Express
"Jacob! Jacob, will you PLEASE wait up for me?!" Lily Potter yelled after her older brother.
"Well, will you hurry up then?" Jacob questioned.
"Your legs are longer," she whined back. She pushed her cart faster and completely lost control.
"Lily!" Jacob exclaimed, jumping out of the way as it crashed into the wall. "Settle down!"
"Settle down?!" Lily screeched. "Settle down?! How can I settle down? I'm about to go to Hogwarts! Oh my gosh- I'm about to go to Hogwarts!"
"Lily," Elizabeth Weasley began, "it's really not as scary as it seems. You'll get used to it soon."
"No, I won't," the redhead replied. "I might not even get Sorted. The Hat will just tell me I'm too stupid and send me home."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and began to pick up Lily's things and replace them on the cart. "It's going to be okay. I'll let you sit with me on the train, okay?"
Lily nodded and swallowed hard. A huge knot was growing in her stomach, and she was beginning to feel woozy. She jumped ten feet in the air when her father laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Whoa, Lil!" Harry cried. "No need to stress out. Everything's gonna be fine. Just take a deep breath."
Lily tried to breathe deeply but found her lungs would not cooperate. She sighed instead and replaced her snowy owl, Jewels, onto the cart.
"You have your brother," Harry tried to comfort her. When Lily didn't look very comforted, he added, "And you have Elizabeth."
Lily nodded once more. She looked around the platform, and it was not until she noticed her cousin Ben laughing that she realized she was still nodding.
"Shut up," she murmured, elbowing past him. She found herself a compartment and drew her knees to her chest.
"Oh, it's okay, Lils," Ginny told her daughter. She kissed her forehead. "Write us plenty of letters."
"I will," Lily replied as the warning whistle blew. Ginny shut the door to the compartment, and Lily realized that Elizabeth was nowhere to be found. The train began to move, and Lily leaned her head against the cool window. She watched her parents waving until the train rounded the bend and they disappeared. A tear rolled down her cheek, and then-
"Hello!"
Lily's head jerked around as her right hand swiped the tear away. A tall, brown-headed girl had burst into the compartment. She was carrying many things in her arms and had a cheery disposition. She looked like she was ready for the time of her life.
"May I sit here?" she asked, motioning to the seat across from Lily.
Lily was barely aware of nodding; she was still in a bit of shock.
The girl dumped her belongings on the seat and held out her hand. "I'm Caroline!" she announced. "And you are?"
"Lily," she responded. She shook Caroline's hand.
"You're a first year, too, I presume?" Caroline asked, looking Lily up and down.
"Yes," Lily replied.
"So am I," she said. "I'm so excited! I'm the firstborn, so I'm the first in my family to come to Hogwarts. What about you?"
"No, I have an older brother," Lily replied.
"Oh, awesome," Caroline said. "So you must know a lot about Hogwarts?"
"Well, not really."
"Oh. So what house do you wanna be in?"
"Gryffindor. My uncle's threatened to disinherit me if I'm not."
"Oh... Gryffindor sounds nice, but I think Ravenclaw'd be the best. Blue is my favorite color, see."
Lily tried to stop herself from rolling her eyes. She was just about to say, "Yeah..." when the door burst open once more and two boys strolled in.
The first had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was pretty tall, and Lily guessed he was probably a second year. He was laughing with a slightly shorter boy with dark blond hair and brown eyes. They didn't seem to notice Lily and Caroline until the first boy gave a start.
"Oh, sorry," he apologized. "Didn't realize you were in here. Michael had just told a joke, you see, and I wasn't paying attention. Dylan, by the way."
"Caroline."
"Lily."
"Hey!" Dylan exclaimed, pointing at Lily. "Aren't you Harry Potter's daughter?!"
Lily turned a little pink and muttered, "Yes."
"Awesome!" Dylan slid into the seat next to her and held out his hand.
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too," she fibbed, shaking his hand.
Michael gave a wave and sat down next to Caroline.
"So where you headed?" Dylan asked.
"Why is it so obvious I'm a first year?" Lily questioned.
"You're a bit of a shrimp, Honey," Dylan told her.
Lily rolled her eyes.
"So, answer the question."
"Gryffindor, hopefully," she replied.
"Oh, yeah, I should've guessed," he said. "Me too."
"Same," Michael said.
Everyone looked at Caroline. She exhaled loudly and said, "Oh, I GUESS!
But red really isn't my color."
"The robes aren't red, Caroline," Dylan said.
"Well, I still think blue is better."
Dylan ignored her and turned to Lily.
"So... Got a boyfriend?"
"No," she replied, squinting her eyes a bit at him. She was liking him less and less by the minute.
"Well, I haven't got a girlfriend," he said. "What a coincidence. Wanna hook up?"
"No," she said in a disgusted voice, turning away. "I don't even know you!"
Dylan sighed. "I'm Dylan Mayesville, age 11, from Devon. I have a sister and a brother, and I have the hots for you. Enough?"
Lily wrinkled her nose. "Caroline, please switch seats with me," she begged.
Caroline obliged, and Dylan put on a scowl. The compartment was quiet until a little witch came by with sweets. About twenty minutes later Dylan and Michael were bouncing off the walls.
"Can you PLEASE just sit down?!" Lily screamed.
"What on earth is going on down here?!"
Elizabeth was standing in the doorway. Her prefect's badge shined on her chest, and her eyes widened as she noticed Lily.
"C'mere," she said. "Why don't you come sit with me?"
"Thank you," Lily said as she jumped up quickly. She grabbed Jewels and squeezed out of the compartment.
"Bye, Lily!" Dylan screamed as she slid the door shut. Lily cringed and followed Elizabeth.

That's it! I hoped you enjoyed reading it because I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to leave a review! That would really help. If anyone wants me to continue, I will. Sorry for any mistakes that might appear! It's very late and I just had to get this off my chest. Also bear in mind that I'm only 14 so I probably don't have the best grammar.
