Lily Potter and the Potions Professor
Chapter 3: Lonely Days At Hogwarts
Lily was sitting on the steps in the Entrance Hall watching the various students head off to Hogsmede. It was the first visit of the year and most of the third years and up were going.
She sunk into her own thoughts as she watched the groups of friends laughing and having fun as they waited to have their names checked off the list.
Lily had never enjoyed popularity like her mother had when she was at Hogwarts. She thought that perhaps she was more like her father in that way, a bit of an outsider. Although she didn't even have real friends like he did. She had a few people she was friendly with but no one that she felt that she could confide in or really count on. She thought that maybe she had somehow inherited some of the qualities from her parents' friend, Luna, for whom she was named. This never really bothered her though, she did have her older cousin, Rose, who had, in a way, filled that void. Lily liked to spend time by herself but she did get lonely occasionally.
Just as she emerged from these thoughts a tall, thin seventh year Slytherin with white blonde hair passed her with a couple of friends. Lily watched Scorpius go by and was reminded of another Malfoy.
I wonder what he's doing right now, she thought.
