Thought I would update. so here it is.
We all enter the Great Hall and take our place at the Gryffindor table. Everybody gives us a wide berth and I send Rose and questioning look.
"People just don't want to get on the bad side of us." She whispers to me as we sit down.
"Why, what would you guys do?" I ask, using you instead of we because I'm not going to be involved with anything just yet.
"You do realise James and Fred have the biggest reputations in the school, nobody wants to be on the bad side of them." She explains and I nod my head finally catching on.
After breakfast we make our way outside and we all sit down and exchange stories about our holidays and gossip that they've heard. Seriously our family are the biggest gossipers EVER.
"Oh no, here come trouble." Says Molly and she points over to the incoming band of Slytherins, Lead by none other than Leon Malfoy. We remain seated but everybody tenses and looks up at them.
"Well well well, if it isn't the family with breeding problems." He says and the rest of the pack snickers at the comment.
"That's not even funny." I whisper to Hugo, who's sitting next to me. He nods but doesn't take his eyes off the group.
"What was that?" Leon asks, turning his attention to me.
"Oh nothing." I tell him not twitching under his glare.
"No, do tell." He says leaning forward and pulling me up. "I'm sure we'd all like to hear it." He continues, I try to pull myself out of his grip but it tightens and I gasp from the pain. Luke pulls out his wand and the others do the same, both sides holding out their wands.
"Looky here guys, something that makes these Gryffindor freaks tick." He says smiling down at me; he walks back to his group pulling me along with him. He doesn't stop until we are safely within his group when he pulls out his wand.
"Let her go Leon." Says Luke as my family stands.
"No, I think is time we taught these stupid Gryffindor's that we mean business." Says Baccus, stepping forwards to join us in the middle.
"Stupify!" Shout Max, taking out Baccus and then the world around me erupts with spells. Somebody passes Leon a broom and he pulls me up onto the broom with him and we take off. I wrap my hands around his waist, so I don't fall off. A spell flies past my ear as we fly off away from the chaos. A few minutes later we slow down to a hover over the Quidditch hoops and I feel Leon pull my arms off from around him and he pushes me off the broom. I grab onto the hoop and swing myself into the sitting position on the hole.
"Are going to leave me here?" I ask him, and by the look on his face I know the answers yes.
"Have fun, Silencio." He casts and I scream in frustration but no noise comes out. He sends a silent cutting curse my way and I feel it slice through my arm and he rides off.
I sit in the ring for hours, my eyes dry from all the tears I've shed and then I remember my wand. Idiot how could I have forgotten. Carefully I reach into my pocket with my good arm and grab it out. I shoot red sparks into the air and sit there trying to remember how to get my voice back.
"Lily!" Shouts somebody and I look down to see Fred standing at the entrance to the Quidditch pitch. He runs over and stares up at me.
"Accio Broom." He says and his broom came flying out of the shed. He jumps on it and fly's but and grabs my outstretch arm, thankfully my good arm.
"We've been looking for you for hours." He tells me as he sends his broom back to the shed. I nod and point to my throat.
"What wrong?" He asks, I try to say my voice but no noise comes out, he finally gets what I'm trying to say and mutters the counter curse.
"Thank you Fred." I tell him and I engulf him in a hug, he chuckle and hugs me back.
"Lily, what happened to your arm?" He asks pulling out of the hug and grabbing my arm.
"Leon hit it with a cutting curse." I say wincing as he touches it.
"I'll take you to the Hospital wing and Madam Pomfrey will clean you right up." He says wrapping his arm around to my shoulder we make our way up to the castle.
"Oi Fred, stop hugging your girlfriend, where trying to find… Oh hello Lily." Says Dominique. Fred and I share smirks and she blushes.
"Well if you'll excuse me Dom, I've got to take my girlfriend to the Hospital wing." He says, Dominique frowns and her eyes spot the blood on my arm.
"Oh Lily, don't bother with the hospital wing. I can fix her up here." She says pulling out her wand. I give over my arm and she mutters a few spells under her breath and my arm instantly feels better.
"That's Dom." I say and wonder off towards the Common room.
"Wait where are you going?" Fred asks, running after me.
"To tell the others I'm alright." I say before walking off again this he leaves me be and walks off in the other direction. I pass the Great Hall and see a large group of Slytherins just inside the door, I turn and quickly walk off in the other direction but I am spotted.
"Oi guys, there's the midget." I hear someone shout and I here running footsteps. I quickly turn a corner and duck behind a tapestry and into the passage hidden there. I hold me breath and wait for them to past but I hear them begin to talk on the other side.
I sit down and prepare to slug it out when I hear commotion on the other side of the door, curses are muttered and the large group walks off.
"Why are you hiding behind a tapestry?" Ask a voice from the other side. I get up and walk out. And bump right into another bloody Slytherin.
I stumble back almost falling over but he grabs me and stops me from falling. He holds me for a moment and I just stare into his eyes. There a beautiful blue. Wait- I shake the very thought of finding him attractive and pull myself from his grasp.
"Thanks for catching me." I tell him, walk off in the other direction.
"Hey wait, I didn't even catch your name?" He asks me, shocked that he would care I stop and turn around.
"Lily Potter." I tell him, his facial expression looks a bit taken aback.
"What's yours?" I ask him.
"Err, Percy Butcher." He tells me.
"So, what where you doing behind the tapestry back there?" He asks me quickly changing the subject.
"I was hiding from the big group of Slytherins, the ones that follow Leon and Baccus bloody Malfoy." I tell him and he looks oddly sad.
"Why were you hiding?" He asks me.
"Last time I ran into them, I was stuck up onto of the Quidditch goals for hours. So I'm not very keen on doing that again." I tell him. I hear footsteps and Percy obviously heard them too because we both look up and see a large portion of the Potter/Weasley clan standing there. I hear more footsteps and I turn to see the group of Slytherins coming down the opposite side of the corridor. Everybody pauses looking from Percy and me in the middle to the group opposite to them.
"Lily, come here right now." Says James his voice straining to remain calm.
I look at his and shake my head. "Why?" I ask him, and he stares back in shock.
"Why, because your standing next to a bloody Slytherin. That's why." Says Victorie, coming to stand in front of the group.
"There nothing wrong with him." I tell her and I can hear Percy having the same conversation with the groups of Slytherins.
"Nothing wrong with him. Lily he is a bloody Malfoy." She tells me. I step away from Percy in shock and then I see the resemblances between him and Leon and Baccus.
"What's your name?" I ask him.
"Percy Batcher." He says.
"No, you said your name was Percy Butcher. What's your name!?" I ask again my voice rising in frustrations.
"His name is Scorpius Malfoy," Comes a voice from the Slytherin group. I turn and look Baccus in the eye and see no sign of lies there.
"And here I thought you were different." I tell Scorpius pushing away from him and running towards James who had his arms outstretched. I run into them hugging him with all my might.
"Next time you send a spy try sending someone not so pathetic." Leon says.
"We didn't send anybody to spy on you," Victorie bites back.
"This mean War, you bloody prats." Leon says and they begin to walk away. "Come on Scorpius." He says and I see under James arm Scorpius giving me and sorry look before he turns around and follows the group of Slytherins away.
"Come on, Luke needs to hear about this." Says Victorie and she leads the rest of us away. Rose and Molly and comforting me by whispering nasty things about the Slytherins but none of this really helps.
So heres another chapter done and dusted. I really need people
to tell me if scrapping the old story was a good idea or not.
