I waved goodbye to my mum, from the compartment I shared with Aguria. "Aguria's a star, right?" I ask,
"Constellation, means charioteer" She says, not looking away from the woman on the platform, waving to both of us.
As the train started to pull away, my twin brother, James walked in, "Hi James" I say.
"Morning Lily, Star" He says, sitting down next to me
"Aguria, nobody is allowed to call me star." Aguria corrects
"That's, weird, you sme-" James says, before realizing what he was saying.
"Siri, I know," I say, Aguria looks at me like I am crazy. "Don't ask"
"No, tell her" James says, "Oh wait, Siri, mum and dad should do it. Well, I need to get back to my compartment" He says, standing up and walking out. Later, a girl walks in,
"Do you mind if I sit here? My seat just got taken." She asks.
"Sure, but who took it?" I ask as she sits down.
"I don't know, he had white hair, and he called me a mudblood, whatever that means." She says
"And, hello Draco Malfoy" I mutter.
Hearing me, she raises her eyebrow, "Who?"
"He's a Malfoy," I say, assuming she knows what I'm talking about.
"Excuse me?" She asks.
"Oh, you really are a muggleborn" I mutter. "The Malfoys are a wizarding family that were big supporters of you-know-who and very prejudiced against the muggleborn and half-breed communities"
"You would know all about those, wouldn't you Lily?" Aguria jokes.
"Very funny Auggie" I say, rolling my eyes.
"Aguria, and I meant because of your parents."
"So funny. Because of the school. I'm laughing on the inside." I say.
"Oh shut it Lily, you know what I mean, seeing as you're friends with an ex-Azkaban prisoner, and a blood traitor" She says, staring at me.
"And? Siri is like my uncle." I say, defending the marauder.
"Why do you like him so much? Mum hates him." She says.
"Yes, but why?"
"Don't know, she never told me"
'I know why' I think, "Really? Weird" I say instead.
"Wait, Sirius Black? The supposed murderer of Lily and James Potter?" The other girl asks.
"What's your name? I'm Lily" I say, avoiding the topic entirely.
"Lily, are you named after her?"
"Yes. Now answer the question."
"Fine, my name is Hermione Jean Granger,"
"Okay, hello Hermione, I am Lily Polaris Lupin, an elemental, controlling water, earth and light."
"But, humans cannot control elements?"
"Well, for one, who said anything about human, and for two, don't believe everything you read."
"Well, if you aren't human, how would you know that?"
"Because, I know one, and have heard of two."
"Oh yeah? Prove it."
"No, I don't have to prove anything to you. Now, my brother is talking about a prank without me, I will be right back" I say, walking out. I walk into a compartment with two boys with red hair, and my twin brother, in a compartment. "Hi guys, what prank are you talking about?" I ask them, slipping into the compartment, "Hi Fred, hi George" I say, looking at each of them in turn.
"Wrong people" Fred says,
"You can do that to your mother, but do I look like Molly to you? Besides, you two smell different." I say.
"Fair enough, Percy's prefect." George says.
"What are you doing to your poor brother? He is still probably traumatised, after the incident, the man pretended to be a rat for years"
"Don't care. Still pranking him."
"Can you get Hermione too? She thinks she knows more than I do about my magic."
"And you're insulted?"
"And you wouldn't be? She thinks she knows everything about Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs and Starry. When she actually does not." I say, crossing my arms.
"Can we get ickle Ronniekins?"
"As long as you don't get Harry, I will murder you."
"Why?"
"Because I told you so"
"Fair enough"
"Now, I have to get back, tell me what you're doing tonight, if I'm not Gryffindor, in the Room of Requirement."
"Bye Lily," James says as I walk out. I walk back to the compartment I sat in to begin with. Hermione is talking to Aguria.
"I'm just saying, you aren't always right Hermione, and trust me, Lily's dead serious, she knows much more about that then you ever will." Aguria says, I walk in, and Hermione looks at me and Aguria stops talking.
"What's wrong guys?" I ask
"Nothing, just, don't hurt us" Hermione says, shrinking back, away from me.
"What do you mean? I would never hurt you, Auggie, you told her?" I say, feeling hurt that she would do that.
"You know she would have figured it out herself," Aguria says, defensively.
"I don't want to hang out with a werewolf" Hermione sneers.
"This is why I wanted to just go to Elements! Nobody can judge you!" I yell at Aguria
"I'm sorry! Okay? I didn't mean to!" Aguria says, starting to cry.
"Auggie, look, it's fine. But," I start, but I can't finish.
"Please, you know something, tell me," She begs.
"I- I can't,your mum or dad has to tell you."
"But what do you mean? Do you know him?"
"I-I I'm not supposed to tell you." I say. Everything is getting more and more awkward by the minute.
"Why?" Aguria begs
"Because mum and dad sad so, I'm sorry" I say,
"What are you talking about?" Hermione asks. I scowl at her.
"None of your business" Aguria says
"If you are talking about me, it kind of is my business"
"Who said we were talking about you?" I ask
"You were. I know it"
"Well, you better get your ears checked, we were not even talking about a student, or anyone you would know. Just stop talking before you say something you will regret" I say.
"What's your problem?"
"You don't want to know." I say, shaking my head.
"Have you seen a toad? I lost mine" a familiar boy asks,
"Oi! Neville!" I say, recognising him immediately
"Hi Lily, why aren't you at the academy?"
"Because mum said I had to keep Harry safe, and because I want to try to fit in, how's Aunt Alice?"
"Mum's fine, how are the Marauders?"
"Depends, one is in Azkaban, and one's dead, the other three? Just peachy."
"Have you met Draco yet?"
"No, have you?"
"Yes"
"Same as usual?"
"Same as usual."
"Why I'm not surprised, I don't know"
"Same. How's Roan, Flame and Winter?"
"They're just the same as they were the last time you asked Neville. What's your toad's name, Harry and I can help you find him"
"Trevor, how will that work?"
"Well, I can sniff him out, and Harry has animal powers, so, he can get him out."
"Harry Potter is a werewolf too?" A shocked Hermione asks.
"Well, for one, no. For two, not only werewolves have elemental magic, and three, he's as human as you lot. Just, capable of understanding things you don't." I say, finding the question very funny.
"How does he know?" Hermione asks, pointing her wand at Neville.
"Really? Probably the same way Aguria knew, or how you're the only one who winces when they see my scars. Two purebloods, a part-human and a muggleborn. I don't know how I'm suprised that this is how it ended out."
"Lily, I'm a halfblood" Aguria corrects
"No, Auggie, you aren't Stone's a pureblood, so's your dad, blood traitor though he may be."
"So, you do know him."
"I will tell you one more thing, I solemnly swear I am up to no good" I say, turning back to Neville. "Anyways, what house do you want to get into?"
"Hufflepuff." Neville says
"Has Alice been helping you with herbology again?"
"It's so fascinating!"
"I agree, but DADA, Transfiguration, and charms are still better" I say.
"That's because you're good at all of those!" Neville protests
"Fine, I'll help you with my good subjects if you help me with Herbology, you know I've always had a black thumb"
"That you have." Neville agrees. "You kill plants yet you control Earth, ironic, don't you think?"
"Very. But at least I can create buildings out of thin air. Mum and Dad still won't let me visit the treehouse."
"Do you blame them? The pack does know where it is, and they would kill you guys."
"I know, but at least Harry has to go, to see the source of his magic, besides, I have things to ask the island"
"I never said you didn't,"
"I'm going to look for that frog myself" Hermione says flatly. She stood up and walked away.
"Yeah, you do that" I say, moving my legs so she can walk by.
"Aguria, what's your favorite subject?" I ask her
"Astronomy then potions." Auggie says
"Somehow, none of us like History of Magic." I realise
"It's okay when the Veela teaches it. What's her name again?" Neville says
"Gwen, and mum says that even Winter could sleep through a class with Binns."
"Wow. That does not leave very much for us, the woman literally never sleeps."
"Exactly."
The train pulls into the station and the three of us get off. I see James and run over to my twin brother
"Lily!"
"James!"
"Do you smell that? Blood, earth, I swear, it smells like Ash and him"
"Excuse me, do you know where first years go?" A small girl asks, she has more scars than James and I combined do.
"No clue, but I guess wh have to find out" I say, I walk over to the dock, and get in a boat with her, Neville and James.
"I'm Lily Lupin, this is James Lupin and Neville Longbottom, what's your name?"
"Ashlie Greyback" She says, all three of our jaws dropped.
