We were on our way to Hogwarts; we decided to walk because I live about ten minutes away now. They stayed at my house nearly every day and helped me. I sometimes saw the Weasleys out but I ignored them as they did me.

I was hauling my trunk along, luckily it was on wheels unlike Eva's who was dragging it along rather unattractively as me and Tani laughed.

We got to the station and I went first, sliding inconspicuously through the barrier, the other two following me. I grinned at the familiar sight; even if my parents weren't with me I had the other two.

They had styled me well. I was wearing tan skinny jeans, white heels and an off the shoulder loose white top that didn't fully cover my middle. My hair was in a ponytail and I had some classic-Liliana eyeliner, as the girls like to call it, on as well.

I heard a massive groan and looked back to see Eva lying on the floor with her trunk next to her.

"I told you to get one with wheels…" I told her grinning while she glared at me half-heartedly. "It's good to be home." I said, glancing at Tani who was standing next to me. Eva gave up on her trunk and walked over to my left side. I put my arms around their shoulders, my back hunched slightly as we were the same height. "I'm glad you took my under you wing." I told them sincerely.

"So are we." Eva replied looking around. "Look at all those pathetic boys ogil- oh look Liliana…. James Potter seems to be looking."

"I don't care what James Potter thinks, I'm finally single and ready to miiiiingle!" I said in a sing-song voice doing a weird dance. They both laughed and agreed, pulling their trunks onto the train.

-oooo-

We found a compartment easily, kicking out the other occupants at the very back, just some second years, easily scared.

"Oh I love these jeans and this top is super sexy!" I gushed happily.

"We know." The other two said laughing. I gave them a joking glare and hauled my trunk onto the racks above. "Did you take our advice Lils?" Eva asked. I nodded.

"Mhmm-."

"Good. Sexy interior equals sexy view for the men."

"You had different wording last time." I told Tani laughing. She shrugged and grinned devilishly. "Right- I need to piss. See you later." I got up ignoring their disgusted looks and going in search of the loos. I walked right to the other end of the train, where I knew there were loos and went in.

When I came out to wash my hands I saw Molly and Penny there, sitting on the sinks. I ignored them even though it was obvious they wanted to talk to me.

"Mayfair." They greeted.

"Weasley, Warfield." I said back sarcastically.

"We need to talk to you." Penny told me.

"Oh? What about?" I asked with polite interest, internally rolling my eyes.

"Why were you with Zania and Ralek?" Molly asked.

"Because… well actually funny story," I started sarcastically. "You see, my boyfriend cheated on me, so obviously I reacted by dumping him, because you know I respect myself," I was talking quite quickly. "But then it seemed to be that all of my friends were already aware of what a cheating fuck Potter is, they took his side, even though if it wasn't for me Penelope you would not be friends with them, effectively leaving my to wallow in self pity and the fact that my mother has cancer and that I'm pretty much alone because my father left me. But then you see, these two people came to my house to talk to me and they helped me deal and all that shit so obviously I was very happy and we became close friends because they're both alone too, no parents or siblings either. Now that Lola died, you know from excessive abuse and all that shit I seem to be constantly alone because mums always in hospital getting chemo etcetera." I finished washing my hands, going into the loo to get some tissue to dry them. "And effectively from all the fucking shit that's going on in my life right now. They are the only ones that are here for me. Did you know Reid, the only family member who still actually talks to me, is not coming back either, she's gone to France, to Beauxbatons to work as a teacher there, so right now I can do whatever the fuck I want in life and no one can stop me." I finished smiling politely at the two girls in front of me who were looking at the floor.

"Were sorry Li-"

"I'm not looking for an apology." I spat the word as if a curse. "I just want my old life back! Don't you understand?" I asked exasperatedly. "I don't want all of this! I would give up magic to save my mum, to save Lola, you know we were just getting back on track," I told them, holding back tears. "Just. And then… well then she had to go and fucking die. My only true sister. Dead. Never coming back. Ever. No matter how much I wish. No matter how much I want her to she will never be here again, along with my damned mother when she dies too."

"Don't say that-!"Penny interrupted with a pained voice, tears in her eyes.

"There's no point in not! It's hopeless, no matter how much my mum lies to me, she's going to die she's going to leave and never come back. Just like Lola." I told them. I wiped away the tears that were falling down my face, thanking Merlin for waterproof makeup. "But I don't want to talk about that anymore, I didn't come here to talk about that, I came to piss. But…what's so bad about Eva and Tani?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"I… don't you remember us talking about 'the skanks' infamous to the whole of Hogwarts…especially as you'll be joining them." She added as an afterthought.

"Skanks? Wow that's nice." I commented dryly.

"No… I… we didn't make that up its just…look Liliana, they aren't good, no matter how much they helped you, they sleep around, smoke, drink, all that shit, and were only in fifth year now! They were only thirteen when they started! We don't want you getting hurt." Molly told me sincerely. My mouth fell open in shock at what she said.

"Get hurt? Get hurt? I think it's a bit late for that. See you around." I finished with a withering glare, walking out of the bathroom. I walked back slowly, pondering over my life.

I took off my heels, leaving my bare foot, and held them in one hand, walking just as slow.

"And I thought you were just walking that slowly because of those heels." He commented from behind me. I turned my head to the side and glanced at him.

"I think you're the last person on earth I would want to talk to right now."

"That's not very nice."

"Where's your girlfriend Potter?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"Dunno-"

"You sound very committed." I said sarcastically, starting to walk again. "Stop following me Potter." I said turning fully around to look at him.

"I like your new look." He commented, looking me up and down. "You've changed quite a lot haven't you?"

"All for the better. And so have you."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, pervier than last year." He chuckled quietly and started to follow me again.

"You're a lot snarkier."

"You've been talking to me for about a minute Potter… a minute too long, piss off."

"I'm good."

"What about your girlfriend?" I asked sarcastically. He shrugged again. "Remember Rosabela Jones, not as beautiful as me but I'm assuming a lot more experienced." I commented with sarcastic knowing.

"I liked your kissed a lot more. Ten times sweeter." He told me grinning.

"I would rather not be compared to your Jones, no offence but I know I'm better than her."

"Oh really?" James asked grinning and walking forwards to stand right in front of me.

"Really." I whispered. He put one hand by the side of my face on the wall, still grinning. "And I really don't like this new James; you used to be so much sweeter."

"I could say the same about you. Don't you find it funner this way though?" He asked.

"Defiantly not. The old James would woo me like he used to."

"There's no need for wooing anymore."

"Your right. You've got someone else to woo." I said coldly, moving to walk away but being stopped by James other arm. "You'll never learn will you James-"

"I don't need to learn. I already know everything I need-"

"Watch out James. Girlfriend alert." I said gesturing to the form of Rosabela Jones who was looking into different compartments and was yet to see us. James was off me in a flash and I glared at him before leaving to go back to 'the skanks', my excuse of bowel movement gone with the enormous amount of time that had passed since I had left. Oh well… might as well tell them everything that had happened…
