Together Forever

Pure-bloods, mud-bloods and blood traitors

After taking a shower and getting ready for the first day of school, Lily Evans was ready to go to the Great Hall for her first breakfast there. She made her way down the stairs and once she reached the bottom she didn't move, instead she took a look at her surrounding, something she didn't do last night. Last night she hadn't had any time to check the common room and she wasn't sure if she would be able to enjoy it later, with all the bigger kids there. So she stood there.

Until…

BAM!

A boy with black hair who went down the stairs running from another with curly hair had fallen on top of her.

"Owe" she said and rubbed her forehead. "Be careful were you stand, you could really get hurt" said the boy who fell on top of her, not looking away from her bright green eyes.

"Well, I am not the one who was running like a crazy person down the stairs" she said, about to lose her very short temper.

She picked up her things and made her way to the Great Hall. She walked through the same hallways she had walked through the day before. She stared very curiously at the paintings that were moving ad talking to each other, well not talking, but whispering.

'I guess even paintings spend all day gossiping as well' she thought to herself.

Finally, she reached the Great Hall; she walked to the end of Gryffindor table and took the only empty seat, well the only one that was not in between the big kids. She was surprised that the boy who had tripped her was already there. Him and the one with curly hair. They were talking to a cute boy, with brown hair and amber eyes. He seemed very shy. The Great Hall's doors opened again, she looked to see a very chubby boy running to the Gryffindor tables. He took a seat next to James, even though he didn't fit their.

The 4 boys started talking enthusiastically to each other. They seemed to get along very well.

She then started to feel slightly uncomfortable, since everyone was talking to each other except herself. She then looked around herself and waited until a girl with short, blond pin-straight hair stopped talking to the girl next to her.

"Hello, I am Lily, what's your name?" she told the girl.

"Hi! I am Mary Macdonald, pleasure to meet you" replied Mary.

The girls began talking until Professor McGonagall came up to them and handed them their schedules.

Lily was very happy; she had her first class, transfiguration, with the Slytherin's. That meant she would be able to talk to Severus. They hadn't spoken since the day before.

Lily couldn't stop feeling like someone was staring at her. She kept turning around but didn't see any of the Slytherin's staring at her, until she saw a boy with black hair, greasy black hair and pale skin. Severus Snape, her best friend. She smiled and waved at him, but he didn't wave back for some reason.

'Maybe he didn't see me and I am just being paranoid for thinking someone was staring at me' she thought to herself.

"Hey Lily, we are going to come to transfiguration together. Want to come?" asked Mary.

"Oh, sure. Do any of you know where the classroom is?" asked Lily who barely knew how to reach the Gryffindor common room.

"Yeah, Alison's older sister told her were the classrooms are" she said pointing at a girl with dark skin and big, brown eyes.

Lily simply nodded and as she stood up, she noticed that the boy who had knocked her over was staring at her. Just like he had when they spoke earlier.

She then continued following her friends.

Once they were in the classroom, other students were already there. Including Severus. Lily saw him and walked up to him. He was reading a potions book.

"Egh-hem" she said. "Hi Sev, Hogwarts is so awesome!" he looked up his book and looked around the classroom.

"Umm, hi Lil. Yes, it is very nice" he said slightly uncomfortable. "Too bad you're a Gryffindor…"

"Well Gryffindor's aren't really that bad. Besides what's the difference? That won't ruin our friendship." She said

Before Severus could even answer, someone spoke.

"Hello there! I am James Potter. Snivellus is it?" said the boy who had knocked Lily over earlier.

"His name is Severus" said Lily narrowing her eyes.

"So what is your name carrot top?" he asked her and not even noticing the evil eye she was giving him.

"Lily Evans" she said. She then took a seat next to Severus.

He then sat down next to the boy with curly hair and whispered something in his ear. They both began to laugh.

Lily continued talking to Severus and the more they talked, the more comfortable he got.

Suddenly a striped cat entered the classroom. But as it got closer and closer to the desk, it began to turn into a woman and that woman was none other than Professor McGonagall.

"Hello class, as many of you may know, I am Professor McGonagall. Your transfiguration teacher. I shall warn you that I will not tolerate any bad behavior in my class or outside of it" she looked at many students in the eye as she said the last part. She then continued. "Transfiguration is a very difficult branch of magic. It is to physically transform an object into another. Doing this to a person can go terribly wrong if you don't know how to do so" she then continued talking more and more about transfiguration.

"Well, you may go to your next class now and I want you to write an essay about the consequences of transfiguring another person into something without permission" She said. Lily had been taking notes on what the teacher said about transfiguration and Severus had been staring at Lily.

"What class do you have next Sev? I have Potions" she said.

"Defense against the dark arts" he said staring at the floor as they exited the classroom.

"Well I hope it all goes well. I am going to go with Alison and Mary. I read in 'Hogwarts, a history' that students have disappeared in the corridors and I don't want that to happen to me. I will see you later!" she said

"Bye" he said and walked off towards a different corridor looking at his feet.

Lily caught up to the two girls who were now her friends.

"Lily! We were going to wait for you but we saw you talking to that Slytherin and thought he was going to take you to potions" said Alison.

Before Lily could even explain, Mary spoke.

"That boy is a Slytherin? Lily was he bothering you?" she asked

Again, Lily didn't get to answer.

"Oh please Mary, not all Slytherin's are evil or into that entire blood purity nonsense. For example: My sister Jessica" she said rolling her eyes.

"Well—"started Mary but was interrupted by Lily.

"No, he didn't say anything mean and he didn't take me to the classroom because he has to go to class as well. And what is all that things about 'blood purity' that you are talking about. Sev never mentioned any of it" she said quickly, before she was interrupted once again.

"Well, umm, many Slytherin's believe that it is important to have what they call 'pure-blood' which means that all their ancestors have been witches and wizards and people that are born from muggles, muggle-borns, like you, are criticized by that and are sometimes called, well they are called mud-bloods by the pure-bloods. But not all pure-bloods are like that. For example myself. And because of that I am called blood-traitor" said Alison.

They continued to walk in silence until Lily spoke again.

"But, being a muggle-born doesn't mean I can't perform magic correctly, does it?" she asked nervously.

"No, the only way it can affect you is that you don't know so much about things like magical artifacts and things that you don't know about in the muggle-world. But you will adapt to everything soon" she said.

They soon reached the potions classroom. The three girls sat together and soon students began filling the classroom. a girl name Alice Finnegan joined them.

"Hello, I am Alice. My I sit here with you?" she said.

"Of course. I am Lily Evans" said Lily.

"Mary MacDonald"

"Alison Smith"

"So you are a Ravenclaw, if I need help in any potion I will ask you. Ravenclaw's are known for their brains" said Alison to Alice making her laugh a little.

"Hello class, I am Professor Slughorn. I am your potions professor. I expect good behavior from all of you and if you are good in my class, you will be able to enter my own club when you are older. Now what do you know about potions?" said the professor.

Lily tried to remember something that Severus told her earlier, and she did. She raised her hand carefully.

"Yes, you the one with red hair!" said the professor exited that at least one of her students had answered.

"Well, potions can cause different effects depending on the potion obviously. One must be careful while brewing them because if you make a mistake the whole potion will be wrong. They can be used as poisons or to give the drinker ability. One called the polijuice potion can make the drinker assume the form of another person" she said, not so sure if that was correct.

"Very good. What is your name?" he asked.

"Lily Evans" she answered.

"Hmm…Evans. I'm sorry, but I have never heard of you or your family before" he said a little confused.

"Well, that is probably because I am a muggle-born" she said proudly.

"A muggle-born? And you are the only student that knows about potions? Well that is very—"he started but was interrupted by 4 boys who entered the classroom without even knocking.

They entered running, the fat one first until he tripped and the other three boys fell on top of him and began laughing except one who seemed very nervous.

"Sorry we are late, we got lost through the castle" he said.

"Yes, well I will not be tolerating any of my students to be late so take this as a warning Mr. Lupin" he said.

"Yes sir." He said and sat down in a table. The other three boys followed and started whispering 'Mr. Lupin' to him.

"If our children continue this way, all the future generations will be marauders" said Professor Slughorn in a low voice so only a few students got to hear. Among them was Sirius Black who liked the word: marauder.

The professor continued talking and talking and talking.

"Well off you go now, off to your next class" he said

"Professor, we have two hours of potions" said Alice Finnegan. Once she said that many of the students sighed and sat back down.

"Oh, yes well I knew that! I just wanted to see if you knew that as well" said professor Slughorn as he nervously scratched his head.

The continued potions ad the professor talked and talked and talked. Until finally he told them to go to their next class.

They went to each of their other classes, until finally the day ended. Lily never thought that it would be so exhausting. But it was, walking from tower to tower. She had even gotten homework.

She continued walking with her new friends, they were going to the library before dinner to finish the transfiguration essay and turn it in tomorrow.

They were soon there. They grabbed all the books of human transfiguration they could find and started working on it. Very soon Severus joined them and sat down next to Lily. He didn't even introduce himself to the rest or say hello.

Most of them were done, except Lily, who said her paper was too short even though it was already three rolls of parchment and the teacher never said how long it had to be.

She soon decided to take the books to her dorm and continue later. She and Severus were the only ones there, aside from some older kids who were sitting down in other tables.

"Hey Sev, could you help me take some of these books up to the fat ladies painting?" she asked him, since she obviously couldn't carry all those books. "Sure" he said picking up the 3 biggest books, leaving Lily to only carry 2 small ones.

They walked up and down corridors, and for the second time that day:

BAM!

Once again, someone had pushed Lily, it was none other than James Potter. Shocker. Luckily she didn't fall, but her books did, and also the ones Severus was carrying. James Potter and Sirius Black didn't even apologize. Although James Potter did look back at Lily. But that was most likely only to see how she had reacted.

They continued to make their way up to the portrait and soon made their way bag to the great hall to eat.

Lily took her seat next to Mary and Alison and they began talking, soon they were in their beds asleep.

I hope you liked it. I will try to update every week but I don't make any promises!
