Lily sat with Hugo in a compartment next to James, Teddy, Rose, Al and Victoire. It always bothered Lily being the youngest. She and Hugo always got left out of everything. A clear voice broke Lily's thoughts. "Is anybody sitting here?" She looked up stunned that a boy, an older one at that, would be talking to her. "No," she stuttered. "No one ever-" She was cut off by James. "Scorpius are you picking on my sister? Just like your dad used to pick on mine? That shouldn't be a surprise, I guess, right Teddy? Like father like son." James and company laughed while they gathered their things and moved to a different compartment. Lily turned back to Scorpius. "Don't mind James, he's always a git." Scorpius laughed. "What's your name?" "Lily," she replied. Even though Lily was aware that Scorpius had begun talking again but Lily had zoned out. This was Draco's son. She could not understand why Ron didn't like him. Scorpius was such a nice boy. He looked nothing like the pathetic Draco Malfoy we always heard about. His hair was black not blonde, his eyes blue. Heck, I could see him as a Gryffindor. Lily spoke unaware that she was interrupting Scorpius. "What house are you in?" Scorpius was quite taken aback. Scorpius was quite accustomed to people interrupting but he did not think Lily was one of them. "How do you know that I'm not in my first year? And you should know that interrupting people is not only considered rude among our professors but also among the students." Scorpius stopped talking abruptly seeing Lily's expression. Obviously she had zoned out, not necessarily on purpose, and did not realize that she had interrupted Scorpius. She started to speak but Scorpius cut her off. "Never mind that. I'm in Slytherin, what are you hoping to be in?" "Gryffindor, just like my dad and his friends. My dad doesn't actually care but my Godfather always says do it for Sirius. Sirius would never forgive us if we were in Slytherin. I don't think Sirius would actually care though." In a cold voice Scorpius spoke. "I suppose you think very highly of you dad, his friends, and those before him." Surprised, Lily replied, "Well yes, he is my dad." Lily turned to look out the window and the train began to slow down. So this was Hogwarts. She had heard so much about it. Her brothers never stopped talking about it. She even knew the motto by heart. Scorpius was watching her and began to think about how beautiful she was when wonder and curiousness took over her face. He broke the silence. "It's beautiful isn't it? They had to remodel it after the second wizard war but it looks just as it did when Dumbledore was headmaster. The motto, Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titilandus or Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon even reflects Dumbledore. The train slowly pulled into the castle. And then it came alive. People rose from their sits and competed to be the first out the train. Only Lily remained seated. Scorpius spoke as he rose, "Are you coming or what?" Lily snapped out of her trance. "Oh! Yes! Do wait up Scorpius. I want to introduce you to my brother Hugo. We are in the same year. Hugo say hi. Sorry about that he's a very shy boy. I hoped to meet someone who might help him come out of his shell. Poor boy, I'm all he has here." Scorpius was not to happy about befriending yet another Potter but how else could he get close to Lily. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad. Even though he looked just like his other brothers he didn't act like them. "Maybe I can be that person Lily." "Oh thank you so much Scorpius. You have been such a big help. I owe you big time." "I like-" Lily cut Scorpius off again. "SCORPIUS! We best be getting of this blasted train before we get stuck! That happened once to my dad you know. Together the trio rushed off the train into the gates welcoming them to Hogwarts.
