Chapter Two: Changes are unavoidable but are sometimes for the better
Okay I'm back, I saw that chapter 1 got 11 views! On day one too! And 2 on day two! I'm so happy thank you so much, as I said I am going away but I have time to start this chapter and post it before I go away. It may take a while but I'll write a chapter whilst I'm away and I'll post it when and if I get internet! I'm aiming to make my chapters longer and more detailed so 1,000 words is the target for this chapter!
Thank you again!
"Slytherin!" Sara, Sarah and I applauded loudly, Talia jumped down from the stool, grinning wildly she sat next to me.
"Now that the sorting is over" Professor McGonagall started "I welcome new students to Hogwarts, at the end of the feast, please follow your house prefects to your dormitories. Now just some things to remember, the forbidden forest is of course, forbidden" A few people laughed and she continued "Mr Filtch has placed a list of forbidden items in your common rooms, that is all, let the feast begin"
The tables filled up with various foods and drinks "Welcome to Slytherin!" Said a blond boy with pale silver eyes, "I can't believe we got a Potter!" He grinned "I bet your family is fuming, you being contaminated by the house of snakes" he looked at Talia and leaned in close
"I just wanted to say thank you in advance for putting up with this one, she's very violent" Talia glared and we laughed "I'm not violent!" She defended, the boy snorted and rolled up his right sleeve, "She did this because I made fun of her baking skills" he had a large-ish purple bruise "Ouch" Sara commented "I know!" The boy said rolling down his sleeves,
"Sorry where are my manners," He held out his hand "I'm Scorpius Malfoy" I smiled and took his hand "Lily Luna Potter", he dropped my hand "Well duh" He joked and everyone laughed.
Once I had my fill of cottage pie and treacle sponge the prefects lead us to the dungeons, "The password is Slither" The prefect said and the wall slid to the side revealing the common room, there was a large green fire burning, multiple chairs and sofas were dotted around the room and there was a book shelf in the corner
"Boys on the right, girls left" And with that the prefects left us, "Come on!" Sara yelled pulling Talia and I to the girls room, Sarah followed and so did the girl from the sorting, "Pick your bed!" Sara said excitedly, throwing open the door.
I choose the bed by the window with Talia on my left, then Sara on the bed after, Sarah laid on the bed close to a book shelf and the girl from the sorting was by the bathroom,
"Hi I'm Lily" I held out my hand to the girl, she looks at my hand and goes back to unpacking, I let it fall limply at my side "Who cares" She says gruffly not looking up, Talia come to stand next to me "She was just being nice" She growled and I suddenly remembered what Scorpius had said at the table "Oh I see so I'm automatically in the wrong because she is a Potter and they are so perfect" She spits back "Why you little—" Talia starts.
"Don't" I step forwards "You're wrong" she looks up "There is nothing perfect about my family, we only make the press think that so we aren't hounded constantly" the girl pulls a face "Oh dear what burden" She simpers "What's your problem?" Talia growls, I can see her fist shaking slightly, the girl who I remembered is called Florence "I'm just warning you guys" Sara and Sarah look up from their bags "She's a Potter, she might seem as though she cares but it all an act and when you realise it's too late and you are left scared and you'll ask, why was I so stupid to think this Potter could be different?" when she had finished she was panting slightly.
Talia steps forwards "Are you done?" She asked in a tone I didn't trust, I saw her fist move and I quickly grabbed it, "Why are you stopping me?" She asks angrily "Because she isn't worth the effort" I say simply, Talia slumps slightly "I can fight my own battles" I say softy and push her towards her bed.
I turn to Florence "Say what you want, I can't change your views, just stay away from me" She scoffs "See she can't even fight properly, she is weak, in my opinion I would stay away fro—" A loud slap echoes around the room "Don't ever call someone weak, ever" Talia's tone is so quiet I almost miss what she said.
The room is filled with a deafening silence, I watch as Talia stumbles back to her bed, I look from her to Florence, who is just standing there looking at the floor, her eyes are glazed over and I don't think it's from the slap.
"I told you not to react" I whisper to Talia, she snorts "Well sometimes you have to" I frown, "And sometimes you don't, I don't want to get people involved with something as stupid as that" I protest, she looks at me "I'm your best friend, I have to be involved" She winks and the other two come over "I'll have to be your friend, to protect you from this one" Sara jokes pointing her thumb at Talia "And I'll be the one who'll keep you sane" Sarah winks as the others make sounds of protests.
I smiled and put my arms around them "Thanks, I think I can get through this year now"
