Disclaimer: I don't own this. If I did, I'm sure people would worry.
Chapter 1:Grounded at the Burrow
Lily stared up at the ceiling of her bedroom once again. She had been grounded and had been stuck here since she had gotten home. It was nice seeing Uncle Remus, but today was her birthday. She had hoped that her mother would unground her, but the morning's negotiations did go that well. She couldn't even invite Blaise and Draco over to celebrate it. Those two must be having a wondrous time at the Malfoy Manor...
"Lily! Lunch!"
Lily rolled off of her bed to bring her food up to the attic, otherwise known as her bedroom. She didn't know why they didn't just let her eat in the kitchen. It must have been Uncle Sirius' idea, making her climb up and down the stairs, so like the prankster he was in school.
"And don't forget the extra parchment and quills! They're with you're Hogwarts books!"
A while later, Lily trudged up the stairs. She'd made several trips up and down just to get her lunch, the books, quills, etc. to her room. At least she hadn't tripped when she was carrying her food and the ink. She sighed over her books, which must have weighed at least a ton all together, before turning to her bed.
On it sat a house-elf.
It slipped off the bed and bowed. Lily blinked. "...Hello?"
"Lilith Black! So much has Dobby wanted to meet you, Miss... Such an honour it is..."
"Er.... Thanks? Who are you?" She was sure she'd seen this house-elf before, somewhere...
"Dobby, Miss. Just Dobby. Dobby the house-elf."
"Ahh... And is there any particular reason you're here?"
"Oh yes... Dobby has come to warn Lilith Black... "
Lily smiled. "Please, call me Lily. And sit. Is there anything I can do for you?"
The house-elf's eyes widened and he burst into tears. Lily sighed as she got him to sit on the bed. At least Kreacher has stopped crying every time she asked him something similar. "Dobby had heard of your greatness, Miss, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew..."
"My greatness? I think you're exaggerating. I'm not that great. Harmony Potter, who vanquished Vo— I mean, You-Know-Who... now there's a great witch..." Lily bit her lip. She wondered where Harmony Potter was at this moment, and what wizarding school she was going to. It wasn't Hogwarts, or Lily would have known. She'd love to meet Harmony, to see what the great Potter, the Girl-Who-Lived, was like. I mean, she must be having a better time than Lily was.
"Oh, Lilith Black is humble and modest. Lilith Black speaks not of her triumph over He Who Must Not Be Named this year. Dobby heard tell that Lilith Black met the Dark Lord just weeks ago... and that Lilith Black escaped."
"Er... Yeah..." He was still calling her Lilith. She didn't like being called Lilith.
"Lilith Black is valiant and bold!" Dobby dabbed his face with a corner of the grubby pillowcase he was wearing. Lily moved to hand him a kerchief, but stopped. He'd just start blubbering again. "She has braved many dangers already! But Dobby has come to protect Lilith Black, to warn her... Lilith Black must not go back to Hogwarts."
Lily stared at him. "What? I've got to go back. Term starts on September the first. It's all that's keeping me going!" Lily frowned. "Well, that and the fact that mum didn't let me go with Uncle Severus..." Lily found it surprising that her mother had known Professor Snape and they had dated for a time. It surprised her even more to learn about Professor Snape and her Uncle Sirius's relationship. She settled to call him Uncle Severus, or Uncle Sev, when they weren't at Hogwarts.
"No, no, no! Lilith Black must stay where she is safe. If Lilith Black goes back to Hogwarts, she will be in mortal danger."
"Why? How?"
"There is a plot, Lilith Black. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts this year."
"What are you talking about? What terrible things? Who's plotting them?"
Dobby made a funny choking noise and then banged his head madly against the wall. Lily groaned. His family must be involved in the 'most terrible things'. Well, that was just great...
A voice came floating up from downstairs. "Lilith, what's going on up there?"
"Nothing mum. I'm fine!" When she looked back at Dobby, he had disappeared. She frowned as she began eating her lunch. Just what was Dobby talking about? And why was she in danger? She wasn't that special.
"Lily, you're no longer grounded-"
"Yes!"
"-and I'm sending you to the Weasleys'."
Lily stared at her mother. "You're what?! Mum! I wanted to go see Draco and Blaise... Besides, Ron Weasley hates me."
"Nonsense, he doesn't hate you."
"Tell that to him. Mum, please let me go to Malfoy Manor."
"Lily, you and Lucius are driving me crazy, asking for you to go there; he asks when you're coming every day at work. Besides, the answer is no Lily. You need to get to know some of your fellow Gryffindors."
"Mum-"
"Don't you 'mum' me, Lilith. You are going and that's final."
Lily grumbled as her mother shrunk her trunk, directing her to the fireplace. Floo in hand, she glared at her mother. "The Burrow!"
Green fire burst up and Lily found herself in a small but cozy house. She stepped out of the fireplace and was greet by the last person she wanted to see. Ron Weasley glared at the renegade Gryffindor. "What are you doing here?"
Lily had spent the past two days at the Weasleys'. She spent most (okay, pretty much all) of her time with Ginny, who still liked her after everything Ron had said about her. Ron spent his time glaring at her whenever they were in the same room. The twins were nice, although she wondered what they did in their room. She doubted that it was just new pranks being developed.
It was the morning of the third day and Lily and Ginny were in the kitchen, eating. A tawny owl swooped in, dropping six envelopes of yellow parchment, addressed in green ink, just as the twins came down the stairs.
"Morning Ginny, Lily." The girls nodded to them, Lily was in the middle of her toast and Ginny was swallowing her porridge. Fred and George sat on either side of Lily (Ginny sat across from her). "Now Lily..."
"...Anything interesting..."
"...Planned for the year?"
"Well..." Lily glanced at Mrs. Weasley, who was standing over the stove. "I'm going to wait and see, but... you know, a little mischief never really hurt anyone."
Mrs. Weasley bustled over as Percy and Ron came downstairs. She served them their breakfast and handed out the letters.
"What the-? Gilderoy Lockhart books make up half the list!"
Lily didn't say a word, having already got all her books. That and hearing Uncle Sev rant about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and how he was a poof making them buy all those books. Just then a snowy owl flew in and landed in front of Lily.
Ron glanced at her. "Get anything from your boyfriends?"
Lily glared at him, gathering her letters and packages, and left the kitchen for Ginny's room. Ron began eating again but stopped, noticing his mother's glare and his siblings' disgusted looks.
"What?"
"Ronald Weasley, you go up there and apologize to Lily immediately!"
"But mum-"
"Don't you 'but mum' me! Lily is a guest and I expect her to be treated with courtesy and respect, like Ginny and your brothers do!"
There ya go. Have fun till the next one goes up! R&R
