Lost in a daze I stared at the eggs on my plate. Would Scorpius want to talk to me anymore after finding out who I was. The first year girl sitting next to me at the Gryffindor table shook me out of my confused thoughts.

"I'm sorry did you say something" I asked politely

"Yeah, I said that it was time for our first charms class with professor Flitwick" said the girl

"oh thanks for letting me know, I would never have noticed"

"it's ok, my names grace. Grace Flint."

"Lily. Lily Potter, nice to meet you. Wait did you say flint, and you're in Gryffindor?"

"I'm a flint by blood only, I'm nothing like my father" she said with disgust

"ok"

"you aren't going to argue with me and say a flint is a flint no matter what"

"no" I said seriously "I think that blood has nothing to do with who you are. You make your own choices in life. If you have decided that you are nothing like your dad then I respect that."

"wow, that's deep girl"

"I know right" I said smiling

We giggled as we walked over to our first charms lesson of the trimester

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"now throughout the years at Hogwarts the first spell that all first year learns in his or her charms class has always been a floating spell known as 'wengardium leviosa'. This charm is a relatively easy one but it is also a very weak one, the heaviest thing it could be used on is a bag or a stack of books" said professor Flitwick as he introduced us to the subject of charms

I had heard the name of the spell but I had tuned out at this point glancing over the heads of some of the first years I see Scorpius sitting by himself. Instantly I felt a little sorry for him, no friends yet that's alright I considered myself his friend although I doubted that he felt the same after last night.

"miss potter, MISS POTTER"

"what?" I said jerking out of my daze, sending the class room into a half dozen muffled giggled

"since you feel comfortable enough with the lesson that you can daydream in my class why don't you perform the levitating spell for us" fumed professor flitwick "here is feather, make it float"

"umm" I said as I shyly stood up picking my wand from the desk "sure thing professor " as if wishing for the feather to float I pointed my wand at the feather scrunched my eyes up and whispered "wengardium leviosar"

Instantly the class gasped.

Peeking at what I'd done I felt my jaw drop as I gazed at the floating feather before my eyes.

"tell me child, have you performed that spell before. Did your parents teach you a little bit before you came?" asked flitwick curiously

Shyly I looked at the wand in my hand and nodded. " a little". I would never admit to it, being a Gryffindor and of course being the daughter of the same Harry potter who was also known for never studying a day in his life….. but I had gone over and read my charms book back to front before I even boarded the train. Mum thinks that I might be related aunt Hermione in some way… yeah right I was so my father's daughter, I actually loved the whole pranking thing.

I looked up through my eyelashes to gaze warily at the charms professor who looked like he wanted to say more but because I was the lucky girl that I was, the bell sounded to end the days charm class. As if waking out of a daze, the startled professor began calling out the escaping students "for homework I want a minimum of a 4 inch paper on the limitations of your basic levitation spell and why these limitations are there".

Seeing the back of Scorpius's platinum blonde hair exiting the class room I raced after him. " wait up Scorpius" I screamed after him in the hopes that he would hear me so I could stop running gosh was I in need of exercise. As if hearing me there was a falter in his step. "I said wait you dumb blonde" I screamed again. Turning around I could see the irritation on his face. Oops probable shouldn't have called him that haha.

"you do know that that is rather insulting don't you?" he grated out " I am a rather smart individual and that was totally unnecessary"

"Sorry, I did mean it as a joke though. I just wanted to talk to you as we never got the chance after the sorting ceremony, and we never actually properly introduced ourselves to each other on the train." Wanting to make a fresh start I held out my hand "my name is Lily, Lily Potter, and you are kind sir?" I said pretending to be some silly princess with the formal tone

Catching on he shook my hand and with a smile and equally silly formal tone he replied "Scorpius Malfoy, at your service young miss"

Neither of us being able to keep a straight face for another minute we both burst into uncontrollable laughter as we headed to our next class. I was so happy that this year was seeming to start off without a hitch….at least that's what I thought.
