Lily always wore a red barret to keep her hair out of her face. Her grandmother gave it to her. But after her first year at Hogwarts she stopped wearing it during school. Scorpius took every chance he got to make fun of her.
He would say, "Look at the little Potter girl all dressed in red. Her hair's so short you can't tell if she's even a girl or not." Lily spent most of her first year crying in the bathroom.
She became good friends with Moaning Myrtle. Myrtle had talked her into wearing her red barret again and to ignore Scorpius. But it didn't seem to work that much.
. . .
"Oh, Potter!" Scorpius said as he walked up behind Lily.
"What do you want Malfoy?"
"Just wanted to tell you something."
"What?"
"Quidditch try outs are this week why don't you try out?"
"I was thing...Wait, where's the insult?"
"You didn't let me finish. Knowing your brothers, even if you have no skills at flying they'll find a way to put you on the team. So then I can knock you right off your broom."
"And there it is." Lily walked away annoyed and un-amused.
. . .
"Hi Lily." Myrtle said.
"Hello Myrtle. How are you."
"Good. How about yourself?"
"Ok." Lily opened her bag and took out her sandwich. She never ate in the great hall.
"So how bad was Malfoy this week?"
"I think he's running out of things to say. Because his insults are getting weak."
"Well maybe he'll stop."
"Maybe but I don't know." She said as she took a bite of her sandwich.
"Hopefully. Have you any idea why he keeps up his game?"
"I've been trying to figure it out...I asked Aunt Luna, Uncle Neville, and even mum, but they just laugh and say I'll understand when I'm older."
"Well that's not much help."
"Nope."
"You'll figure it out eventually." Lily nodded then continued eating her sandwich. When she finished lunch she said goodbye and left for the rest of her classes.
She had potions with Professor Malfoy next. Scorpius's father had it out for Gryffindor. It was mostly because he was in Slytherin when he went to school. He was strict but he was a good teacher. The strange part about it all was that he never yelled or deduced points from Lily. He actually seemed to like her as a student. That seemed a bit strange to Lily.
Her first year wasn't the best but she still enjoyed it.
