Chapter One: A long long way we go.
It was a bright June day as two girls packed their things and toted them out of their dorm at Beauxbatons academy of magic. The two girls by the names of Lily Evans and Heather Rose were both transferring to Hogwarts an All magic school in England. They were both excited to say the least, one a little more then the other to be correct. See Lily was quite scared to go back to England to be quite frank, sure she grew up their when she was a small child, and knew England well enough, but she felt as if there was something there that wanted her, that wanted her quite a lot.
Lily Evans was a typical teenager, she was about 5'6 in height was skinny as a rail, had long wavy red hair and the most brilliant green eyes anyone could ever Imagine. Her Mother was a muggle and had been promoted to a job in England at the end of Lily's fifth year at Beaubatons. So her and Heather were to be transferring schools.
Heather was the daughter of a friend of Lily's father, when they had learned of Heather's magical talents they disowned her. Mr. Evans being told this by his friend said to her father that his daughter Lily had the same talents and it was incredibly stupid to disown their daughter, he took Heather in and her and Lily both went off to Beaubatons together. Heather had bluish green eyes, long wavy blonde hair and freckles spattered against her face. She was incredibly short for anyone being 5'0, had just the right weight and was obsessed with Quidditch as much as Lily was obsessed with books, so that meant well, a lot.
Both girls at the moment were double checking their bags and trunks to make sure they had everything. They had stripped down their posters and collected all of their 'Teen Witch' Magazines, picked up forgotten socks that had probably been their for months and picked up the small trinkets they had lost in their dorm over the last few years.
"Lily, isn't this yours?" Heather inquired examining a small pendent in her hand.
"Uhh no Heath' you're the only person that's ever liked the moon" Lily said staring at the moon pendent resting on her friends palm.
"Lilybean, I've never seen this pendent a day in my life" Heather replied
"Hmm well just keep it then, you're the one who likes the moon so much"
"You think so?"
"Yup now we've got all our stuff so lets go down to the carriages"
"Sure thing Lilybean, just let me get Drakie" "Drakie" she called down the hall for her cat. A second later a abnormally small cat came running towards her, it had black fur with a single long white stripe down its belly, and black tail with a dab of white at the end and black eyes.
"There you are my oohy goohie lovie baby girlie" She cooed to the cat.
"Heather come on lets go were gonna be late" Her friend said irritated
"Oh Lils you really need a relaxing pill nothing bad is going to happen in England"
"If you say so Heath'"
"I do so now lets go get on those trains and meet your mum and dad at Le Duboit"
"Ok then lets go."
Over the next few hours Lily and Heather traveled by train to a small French Café called 'Le Duboit' in the outskirts of Niece, where they were to meet Mr. and Mrs. Evans, from their they would be boarding a plane for London. The day was just as bright as it had been that morning and Lily Evans was still that scared to go to England.
"Lilybean, please will you stop being so scared" Heather said as the got off the train.
"Sure thing Heath' but lets get our luggage and Drakie ok" Lily said increasing her stride.
"Lily, slow the bloody hell down, remember I'm a midget and you're a giant so please have some mercy" She said catching up to Lily.
"Oh yeah, sorry Heath' I'd forgotten you're so small."
"Yeah well I wish I could but I very well cant can I?"
"Heath' Stop complaining and get your cat please" She said as they arrived at they luggage compartment.
"Drakie, Heather cooed as she picked up her cage, how was that boring long train ride for you?"
"Meow"
"Aww the big mean other kitties were being jerk wads huh?"
"Meow"
"Well Mummy will talk to their Mummy's and get everything settled"
"Heather" Lily barked "Stop talking to your cat and help me with the luggage, people are staring"
"Oh sorry Lilybean, here" She said grabbing one of the trunks and putting it on the cart.
"Ok" Lily said once everything was safely on the cart, "Lets go" she headed out of the platform and to an empty cabby.
After getting all of their things in the cabby Lily and Heather paid him the money to take them to the Little Café outside of Niece.
Lily and Heather had been in London all of two days and a had already found the city extremely exiting. The had hit up quite the hand full of small shops and trinket stores, and had found many cool things. Lily seemed to spot a books store and Heather a football store, many people had asked why these two completely opposite people had become the best friends, the only response the ever got was a giggle of laughter and the sight of the two friends retreating backs. While Lily looked at books and bought about 'half the store' as Heather had put it, Heather was looking at the new and 'latest' Football editions. After examining the latest series she finally picked out a rose colored one and moved on to shin guards. Meanwhile Lily was contemplating either to get the complete works of Voltaire or The Encyclopedia of Man Kind, Lily decided neither and bought a book on the history of London.
When Lily and Heather had met up about three hours later they decided to find the wizarding shops which a copy of the daily prophet told them was on charring cross road behind the entrance of the leaky cauldron. They soon spotted the pub and quickly entered their arms full with their shopping bags. When they entered the pub a stout man with a toothless grin waved at them, they waved back and went though the entrance of Diagon Alley.
As they entered Diagon alley the only thing the girls could think of was,
"Wow" Lily said in an awed tone
"Bloody hell"
"Heath' Language please, so lets go get our French currency changed into British ok"
"Lilybean do you always have to talk so smart, I thought we were going to have a new start, you were going to not be so much of a book worm and I was going to not be a freak at herbology."
"Ok, fine lets just go and get the money changed ok"
"Fine" She said as she walked over to gringots.
After the two girls walked out of the bank the first thing to catch Heathers eyes was a Quidditch store, it was brightly colored and had the latest Clean Sweeps in the window, small snitches were zooming around a cage and brand named quaffle's were on display.
"Bugger, Lils there's a Quidditch store, can we go in please, please pleasee, I've been dying for a new bat"
"Fine but then we get to go to the books store ok"
"Deal" Heather muttered as she took off into the store dubbed 'Quality Quidditch Supplies'.
Immediately Heather went to the brooms and was deciding whether to buy the new Clean sweep or not when Lily walked over. Lily chuckled over her friends behavior, when they first started school together Heather was very anti sports, said jocks were dumb and big pig heads, If only the 11 year old Heather could see herself now. After deciding to buy the new broom Heather wandered over tot the beaters bats and Bludgers. After getting an new bat, gloves, wrist guards, shin guards and a bludger Heather walked over to the cash register ready to purchase her Items when a boy no older then sixteen came crashing into her from the front door. This sent Heather and all of her Items crashing to the floor, he landed sideways across her stomach.
"What the bloody hell is your problem?" She yelled at the boy as he got up and offered a hand to help her up.
"Well you see I'm kind of running from my family if you know what I mean" He said as she took his hand and helped her up.
"Thanks, but couldn't you watch were you were going"
"Uhh well now not really, I didn't want to be on the other end of a nasty curse you know"
"Oh" She said her gaze softening "I can understand that" The truth was that she knew exactly how he felt being the person on the other end of curses when she was at Beaubatons.
"My name is Sirius" He said Extending his hand out to her.
"Uhh the name is Heather, and can you kindly help me pick up this stuff" She pointed down at the stuff on the ground.
"Certainly, so who's the friend that likes to stay quiet?" He asked indicated to Lily.
"Ahh that's Lily, she's me sis"
"Sisters?"
"Yeah" said Lily
"You sure in the hell don't look like sisters" He said looking back and forth at them.
"Ohh Lilybeans dad adopted me after my parents found out about me being a witch" Heather said holding the pile of Quidditch supplies and dropped them on the counter.
"Ohh, well that would explain the difference between you two"
"Uhh what difference?" Heather Inquired as she paid the cashier the money.
"Well A, you've got blonde hair and Lily has red, B, your short as an elf and Lily has to be at least 5'5, and C, you both look like you came from two different families and in this case you did" He said thoughtfully.
"Oh well thank you for seeing my Elf height, its not that I couldn't"
"What no, I, I'm sorry, I your height fits you quite well"
"What do you mean?" She inquired as the three of them exited the shop.
"Hey Heath' I'm going to go to the book shop, how bout I meet up with you at the ice cream place in an hour or so?" Lily asked looking excitedly at the shop dubbed Flourish and Blott's.
"Sure thing Lilybean, try not to buy the whole store would you?"
"Only if you don't buy out the joke shop?"
"Deal" Heather said as Lily walked away.
"But like I said your height really complements you" Sirius said grabbing the bag from the Quidditch store and carrying it for her.
"Oh well you seem to be the only one who thinks that outside of my family."
"Really?"
"Pfft yeah everyone at Beaubatons teased me for"
"You go to Beaubatons?"
"Nah not anymore Mrs. Evans got a promotion here in England Lilybean and I are going to Hogwarts this year.
"Really? What year?"
"Oh uhh sixth and uhh yeah"
"Hmm that's cool I'm going to be a Sixth year too" He said Brushing his elegant black hair out of his face. Heather hadn't tell then really took in Sirius's appearance. He was tall, well if he was taller then her he was and well he seemed to be about 5'7 ish. So in her case that was tall, he had elegant black hair that framed his face and dark green eyes.
"Uhh earth to Heather, Heathie, Little Heathie poo?" He asked waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh, what, sorry, I got lost in thought" She said smiling at him
"Oh" He laughed "My friend Remus does that all the time, but any way I asked you if you wanted to go to the leaky cauldron with me and grab a butterbeer, My treat"
"Sure, I could never say no to a butterbeer" She said as they headed towards the leaky cauldron.
Lily was roaming the shelves at Flourish and Blott's looking for a book on advanced potions when another one caught her eyes.
"Advanced Healing Charms" She said out loud as she opened the book.
At Beaubatons she had been extraordinary at charms and desired to be a Healer when she was done with her education. As Lily read the first page her feet carried her to a chair where she sat down and started to read. She must have been there for quite a while because when she looked up from the book she seen the afternoon sun high in the sky, 'it must be nearing night fall' she thought, 'Oh heavens above, Heather' she thought jumping up, she ran to the cash register paid for the book and dashed out of the store in the direction of the Ice cream shop.
When she got there she seen Heather look worried around while being comforted by Sirius the guy they had met in Quality Quidditch Supplies, had an arm around her shoulders. Heather looked up at her as she neared the table the two were set at.
"Lily Evans" She almost screeched "Where in the gods name have you been?" She thundered, "I have been here for an hour and a half and I was late, what the bloody hell in Merlin's name is your excuse?"
"Umm advanced Healing charms" She squeaked holding up her newly purchased book.
"You got lost reading didn't you?" she asked slightly relived.
"Yeah"
"Oh thank Dianne" she said jumping up from the table and engulfing Lily with a hug.
"Uhh Dianne?" Sirius asked
"The fabled Goddess of the moon" Lily said walking over to the table, "Heathers quite obsessed with the moon you see, so she thanks the moon goddess for keeping…." But she was cut off by Heather who had her hand around Lily's mouth.
"Sorry bout that, my Lilybean likes to embarrass me a lot"
Sirius started to laugh and only stopped when he seen Heather scowling at her. "Sorry He said"
"That's ok, umm well be really better leave or your mum's gonna freak" Heather said to Lily.
"True"
"Oh" Sirius said disappointed, "Well I hope to see you at Hogwarts" He said standing up and hugging both girls"
"Ohh you will don't worry" Heather said picking up her bags.
"In fact Heather here is going to meet you right here at twelve tomorrow if your up to it" Lily said smirking.
"Heck yes, I, I, I mean of coarse I'll be here" He said kissing her hand "I shall see you tomorrow then?"
"Sure" She said glaring at Lily all the while blushing.
And with that he smiled kissed her on the cheek smiled at Lily and skipped away.
(AN: I know that seems very un Sirius like but he's really trying to impress her coz well he really likes her. If you'd kindly review that would be ever so nice and I can promise you lots of happiness as you read my fic - Violet)
