Okay this chapter is short I know, but longer than the last one, and its been a super long wait… but I already have a lot of the next chapter written, and school is starting so I will have more time to write (AKA During class periods, but maybe not cuz im starting HS) but I will also be on a schedule so I can have a scheduled time to update
Remus Lupin: King's Cross Station
I watched Lily follow Vi onto the platform. 'That's a bit weird. Lily wasn't super social this summer. She only really talked to Bridget, Mimi, and I, and, of course, the twins, but that doesn't really count. Whenever anyone else came along she just muttered a quick hello and leaned down to let her hair obscure her face. I thought Lily was shy, but what about the way she chatted with Vi? They really don't have anything in common, well, besides the fact that we are all human. Oh! And we all like custard. I really don't think that's it, though. Maybe there isn't some'- a annoyingly high pitched feminine voice interrupted my musings. I cringed as I recalled who that voice belonged to.
"Remus! Oh, I missed you so much over the summer!" A short, curly haired girl ran up to me and gave me a tight hug.
"It's nice to see you too Dolores." I replied as cordially as I could. Bloody ditz.
"Oh, you know you can call me Dolly. But anyways how was your summer? Why didn't you return any of my letters?" She wined. I fought back a groan, then contorted my face to what I hoped looked like confusion.
"What letters? I didn't receive any." In actuality I'd gotten about ten billion.
"Oh." She just looked so pitifully sad. I cringed at what I was about to do.
"Why don't you tell me about it on the train?" Mel perked up. That was a terrible idea. Well, maybe my friends could get her to go away. She quickly hugged her parents goodbye then started walking with me towards the barrier. She gabbed about her summer trip to Switzerland.
We passed through the barrier, and I did a quick scan for Lily. I stopped dead horrified by what I saw. Mel turned and looked at me.
"What's wrong Remus?" I completely ignored her and headed straight for a pair of people.
Regulus Black (13): Platform 9 3/4: A few minutes previous
Where in the world is Cissy? Oh there she is... Ugh, definitely don't want to interrupt that snog fest. I didn't know she was stupid enough to go for-
WHAM!
Ow... It was really stupid to walk in front of the barrier. A trolley rammed straight into me succeeding in knocking me over. The trolley tipped over and slammed my right arm, while the girl pushing it fell straight onto my stomach. A lot of red hair obscured my face for a second before being swiped away.
"Oh my gosh. I'm so freakin' sorry. I really-" She started in an odd accent.
"It's alright." I groaned pushing my self off the ground, as people around us started to laugh. She didn't look like she believed me. I righted her trolley and pulled her and it out of the barrier's way as the people started going back their business.
"Regulus Black." I said as a way of introduction. I didn't look up at her but instead pulled back the sleeve of my shirt. My wrist was starting to swell. Urgh, It's probably broken.
"Oh crap, that was my fault let me help." Before I could do anything to object she leaned forward quickly and placed her hand on my wrist muttering a few words. My wrist burned for a little but when she drew back the pain was gone. She smiled up at me. "The nurse at my old school taught me that. She got tired of seeing me. I'm a bit, no, I'm really accident prone. Oh, I'm Lily Evans by the way. I just moved here from America."
"You just did wandless magic." 'Woah, most adults can't even do that, and here is a teenage girl doing it like it is nothing at all.'
"Wandless? Oh, yeah, y'all use wands here. I really have to get used to that. We don't use wands in America. We're trained without them; it's nothing amazing really. What I want to know is how you focus your magic through your wand?" I looked confused for a moment. "And what happens if you lose your wand?"
"Er... Well..." 'I have no idea.' Luckily, or more like unluckily, my brother's friend decided to join us. I just glared at Lupin as he walked up, some girl following him. He slipped a protective arm over Lily.
"Bugger off Regulus." He spat.
"Why don't you. We were having a nice conversation about wandless magic." I replied snidely.
"Hey y'all, no need ta fight." Lily said, stepping in between us.
"If you say so." I said and glared past her at Lupin. "I'll see you around the school Lily." I smiled at her, and she gave me a wide smile back. As I turned my back I heard her begin to chide Lupin for his rudeness. 'I wonder how she knew him?'
Okay so I know having her do wandless magic is a bit Mary-Sue, but once she starts classes you'll tell it isn't Mary-Sue… and yes Dolly is Dolores Umbridge… and yes I do know she is a HalfBreed Hater… but I got to thinking the other night that someone couldn't be that prejudice (well they could but I wanted to add her in so I could have the marauders torture her… cackle… srry im rereading the 5th book…) ANYWAYS!! Go to the little purple button and review sil te plait… wait I want to be polite to reviewers SIL VOUS PLAIT!!
Luv ya
Lilyre
