Fleur De Lis
Chapter 1
D.R.M.L.C.
The little redhead was sad at the prospect of not seeing her parents for four months, but wildly excited at the fact she was going to school to be a Witch. As she rounded the corner with all of her luggage, what she saw made her positively gasp. A very large cherry-red steam engine with the Hogwarts Insignia was sitting on the tracks. What's more- there were witches and wizards as far as her eye could see. (It didn't help that she was only 4'10''). She soon found an attendant to get her luggage on to the train. Still looking around in wonder, she didn't notice the strawberry-blonde- haired girl in front of her until she hit her.
"James, if that's you it's not f-"
The girl stopped when she saw it wasn't whom she had originally thought. Color was rising to Lily's cheeks in mortification. The girl looked at her, and took in the fact that Lily was dressed in muggle clothes. Assuming, correctly, that she was new to the wizarding scene, she held out an immaculately manicured hand.
"Hi there."
"Lily." Lily supplied as she took her hand. The girl smiled. "Maha. Maha Raghnall."
"I'm so sorry I bumped into you, Maha, so I guess I'll just go."
"No, no!" Maha said hurriedly. "Would you like to sit with my friend and I on the train?" She gestured to a very tan girl with impossibly gold hair and brown eyes-, which on closer inspection had gold in them.
"Hello, I'm Dior Evania." The two friends couldn't have differed more. Dior, with her angel- like appearance and slim figure looked very interesting in contrast to Maha. Maha had, as was said, strawberry blonde hair. Her eyes were nothing short of purple, which surprised Lily more than a little. Unlike Dior and Lily, Maha's figure was very voluptuous. The three girls made quite a trio with their exotic appearances.
"Are you first years?" Lily asked.
"Yes." The answered in unison, then giggled.
"Come on, then. We had better get a compartment." Dior said. When they got on the train, they discovered that all of the compartments were quite full. However, Maha spotted one of her friends in a compartment with another girl. Insisting to Dior and Lily that the girl was very nice, Maha they asked if the could sit. Maha's friend was more than happy to oblige. Once introduced, Lily and Dior learned that the friend was Rhoda Wyatt and HER friend was Chandra Shiri. Rhoda had chestnut-brown hair, hazel eyes, and dark skin. Chandra on the other hand had very fair skin, impossibly black hair, and gray-blue eyes. As the five got to talking, they got along very well with specific people in the group. Lily and Chandra hit it off, Dior and Rhoda turned out to be very similar, and Maha talked to all of them happily. Sooner than what seemed humanly possible, though, they landed at the station in Hogsmeade. Getting onto the boats, Lily was enchanted by the large castle. She felt like she had been missing a part of her before coming to this place. She was not the only one to share in the awe- even impossibly serious and sophisticated Dior was looking at it with wonder. Trying to think of something to talk about, she asked Chandra how they knew where to sleep and what classes they were in.
"We get sorted." She answered calmly. Unfortunately, Lily was still confused, so she pressed on. "Sorry- but sorted? How do they sort us?" Chandra looked at her as though she was daft.
"The sorting hat." she said slowly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Into one of four houses. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin."
"So.how does a hat decide?" Lily asked skeptically. Chandra raised her eyebrows.
"Well it's magical, isn't it?" She smiled. Lily smiled back.
"I guess I'll just have to wait and see for myself"
"Yeah."
By The time the first years entered the Great Hall, Lily was positively shaking with excitement. I hope I'm with my friends! she thought. A very stern-looking witch led them to the very front of the hall. There sat a three-legged-stool and an extremely shabby looking wizard's hat. Lily was shocked. That thing decides my school future? O, good lord! The stern looking witch pulled out a rolled-out piece of parchment, and began reading names.
"Black, Sirius!" she called, and a tall black haired boy strode, unflinching and confident, to the stool and placed the hat on his head. "GRYFFINDOR" The hat yelled with barely a moment's thought. As he rose and joined the Gryffindor table amidst tumultuous applause. She read off several more names, joining various houses, but no Gryffindors. She then reached " Evania, Dior!" and Lily held her breath. "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat decided. Lily knew she had to be next, and hoped to be with at least one of her friends. Sure enough, "Evans, Lily!" sounded shortly afterwards. Lily approached the stool and say down, gingerly placing the old hat on her delicate auburn head. When the hat started talking to her, she was convinced she's gone nuts. But she listened anyway. "Okay, a great mind, plenty of heart, oh yes- bravery, and- the prophecy. Right. Okay." "GRYFFINDOR." The hat's words about 'the prophecy' unnerved her a bit, but she happily joined Dior at the long Gryffindor table. By what had to be sheer luck; Maha, Rhoda, and Chandra were all sorted into Gryffindor- along with three boys who sat next to the Sirius kid, who Maha kept flashing heated glares. When dinner was over, they were shown the way to the Gryffindor common room by the Prefect, and went into the first-year dormitory. Dior, Rhoda, Maha, Lily, and Chandra were delighted to be together. Making a pact to be friends as long as their lifespan decreed, they carved into to the wall of the dormitory:
"Days, months, and years go by, along with the occasional guy. Tears, fears, fights, and lies, but still we will always try- to be friends forever.
