Sorry it took a while to update but here it is.
Walking back to the Common room with Rose and Molly beside me was the most antagonising thing I have ever had to do. I could feel the glares they were sending me as I walked through the Portrait hole in front of them.
"Luke they've done it. They have declared war." Victoire tells him as we walk over towards the fireplace.
"Damn it, never actually thought they would do it." Mutters Luke, his eyes full of worry.
"What does this mean for Hugo?" Ask Rose, her eyes full of concern. "Oh and Lily too." She rushes in sending me a glare.
"Oh drop the act Rose. I know you don't like me," I tell her, "Same with you Molly." I finish turning looking at her to.
"Fine, but with the war coming..." Rose starts.
"We can have a mutual agreement." I finish and she nods. Turning back to Luke who was watching our little exchange like the rest of the group.
"Err, where was I?" He asks, scratching his head.
"Well the Slytherins have declared war and we need a strategy so we don't all end up in the hospital wing." Says Teddy giving Rose and I a strange look.
"Yes, I think if we all learn a few basic spells we should be good, like..?" He trails off wanting one of us to answer.
"Expelliarmus." Mutters Hugo and the wand that Luke had been twirling around in his hand flew out of his grasp and into Hugo's hand.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Asks Rose as Hugo chucks Luke's wand back to him.
"Lily and I were practicing when we were at Uncle Georges." He replies, flipping off Rose and turning back to Luke sending me a wink in the process.
"What else." Luke says looking at me this time.
"Well there Stupefy," I cast point my wand at Molly who is stunned instantly. Rose glares at me and revives her stunned friend who glares at me too. "and." Levicorpus pointing my wand at Rose she is lifted into the air by her feet screaming.
"LILY, STOP THIS YOU STUPID BRAT!" She screams at me, Molly looks at me with wide eyes full of hate as James mutters the counter curse setting Rose back down on the ground.
"How could I have done that? I'm a first year, I haven't learnt non-verbal spells yet." I say to her my eyes full of innocence. Both Hugo and I knew it was me, because during the times we spent practicing I had made it my goal to learn how to non-verbally cast that spell.
"Rose shut up, Lily don't tease." Dominique tells us giving me an accusing look. "So we have Expelliarmus, Stupefy, Levicorpus and I think a Confundus spell for us older students wouldn't go astray." She concludes looking around the group for any sign of disagreement. She finds none and rises saying she is tired and goes up to the Dormitories for bed.
James and Albus pull me aside as the group begins to disperse.
"Did you cast it?" James asks.
"Cast what?" I ask making my eyes go wide with innocence.
"Levicorpus, did you cast Levicorpus on Rose?" Asks Albus frowning at me as I nod.
"How? Non-verbal spells is well above first year magic." He asks his frown deepening.
"I practiced a fair amount over school year last year. More than you two can imagine." I tell them looking over their shoulders to where Rose and Molly are glaring at me.
"Any who, I'm going to bed so see you in the morning?" I ask walking over to the bottom of the girls Dormitories, they nod their heads before making their ways over to the boy's stairs. I head up and the moment my head hits the pillow I fall to sleep dreaming about Rose chasing me while Molly throws tomatoes at us laughing with the boy I met today.
Scorpius.
The school over the next few weeks was strangely quiet, classes were simple and the corridors weren't a place of war. It was the calm before the storm. Luke and Victoire spent all their spare time researching spells and charms that will help us.
"It's the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor match." I realise during a study session with Hugo.
"What?" He asks looking up from his Transfiguration essay.
"That's when they'll strike." I say putting down my quill.
"Bloody hell, your right!" He exclaims and he packs up his things and rushes out of the Library off to tell Luke most likely.
"How did you figure that out?" Comes a voice from the book shelves. I look and see Baccus walking from the shelves.
"Well it wasn't that hard." I retort glaring at him and he sits down opposite me.
"I thought none of you prats would have figured it out." He drawls.
"Well you Slytherins aren't the brightest." I reply not looking up from my transfiguration essay. Protego I cast in my mind.
"Stupefy!" He yells and his spell hits my invisible shield and rushes back to him, he ducks and it hits the bookshelf behind him.
"Alright you two GET OUT!" Shouts the Librarian and I gather my stuff and walk out of the library.
"How'd you do that!?" Exclaims Baccus as I walk down the corridor. He grabs my shoulders and pushes me against the wall. "How did you do that?" He spits at my slamming me back into the wall. I wimper in pain as he slams me again.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I grit back barely holding in my tears.
"You cast a Non-verbal shield charm." He says this time he throws me into the wall and its only him that keeps me standing.
"Oi, Baccus!" Shouts a voice from down the hall. "What are you doing?!" The person exclaims their footsteps getting faster.
"Go away Scorp." Baccus says turning to face his brother. I slump to the floor and sit there my back shooting with pain.
"Make me Drunkhead." Scorpius bites back push his younger brother away from me.
"I'm telling Leon!" He says turning and running down the hall towards the Dungeons.
"Get away from me." I spit at Scorpius leaning away from him.
"How are you going to get to the hospital wing then?" He asks picking me up and we walk down the hall. "Accio." He mutters and my stuff flies into his out stretched hand.
"Why are you going this?" I ask wincing in pain as he stumbles.
"Doing what?" He asks looking down at me.
"Being nice." I tell him.
"Because I don't judge people the way other Slytherins do." He tells me and I smile up at him.
"OI MALFOY!" Shouts a voice from the other end of the hall.
"What?" He asks calmly turning around.
"Where do you think – LILY?!" Says Lorcan running down the hall with Lysander by his side.
"Let her go Malfoy!" Says Lorcan pulling me by the arm. I scream in pain as I tumble to the floor.
"You idiot Lorcan, I was taking her to the hospital wing." Scorpius says gentle pulling me up.
"Here let me," Says Lysander and he gently moves to pick me up. Out of the twins he is definitely the gentler one.
"Thanks." I mutter to Scorpius and Lysander walks away to the Hospital Wing. Lorcan says some things to Scorpius but I'm too far away to hear them.
We arrive in the hospital wing and five different potions are immediately forced down my throat and I am gently laid down in one of the beds.
"Lorcan go tell the others." Lysander says thankfully Lorcan goes instead of Lysander because I prefer Lysander's company.
"So what happened Lils?" He asks rubbing the back of my hand.
"Hugo and I were talking in the Library and he rushed out to tell the others about what we discussed and Malfoy came out of the shelves and made a scene and we got kicked out of the Library and he got angry and began to slam me against the wall." I pause taking another potion from Madam King.
"I thought Scorpius was different." Says Lysander shaking his head in disbelief.
"It wasn't Scorpius it was Baccus. Scorpius stopped him and was bringing me here." Towards the end of the sentence it begins to slur.
"It wasn't Scorpius, he's different." I tell Lysander and he nods to me and my eyes flutter shut and I fall into a dreamless sleep.
My eyes open and the light is blinding. I moan as I try to sit up but hands push me back onto the bed.
"Not so fast Miss Potter." Says Madam King placing another potion in my hand.
"Lil's how are you?" Asks an anxious James from my right hand side.
"Yeah just great James." I tell him sarcastically scruffying up his hair. He chuckles and Albus breathes a sigh of relief.
"Yep she's fine Madam King." He says smiling down at me.
"Yes I know, now stand back." She tells him and she pulls around the curtains around the bed so I can change. I emerge fully dressed and James and Albus lead me back to the Common room.
"Who did it?" Asks Albus.
"Yeah, Hugo didn't know and Lorcan said you didn't say." James puts in. I shake my head and keep on walking.
"Well next time check who stayed behind with me in the Hospital wing and who came and got you." I tell them laughing at their faces.
"I told Lysander while Lorcan was getting you guys. Hinkypunk." The last part was addressed to the Fat Lady who swung the Portrait hole opened.
"So who did it then?" Albus says.
"Baccus Malfoy." I spit at him walking towards the dormitories.
"Hey Girlfriend!" Shouts a voice from the couch.
"Yes Fred?" I ask turning around and wrapping my arms around his waist. He pecks me on the nose and laugh as James pulls us apart his eyes livid.
"Girlfriend?!" He exclaims looking from Fred to me and back again. Dominique bursts into giggle on the couch falling off it and onto the floor.
"Oh this is just too good!" She manages before another wave of giggles overcomes her causing James to turn towards her.
"You know about this!?" He practically screams pushing Fred to the ground.
"James calm down." Fred tries from the ground but James just storms out of the room.
"Al." I try but he can only shake his head.
"Al." Tries Fred but Albus just shakes his head.
"Albus Severus Potter you listen to me. It's a joke. Dom found Fred and I the day the Slytherins attacked us. He was taking me to the Hospital Wing and Dom said -." I look at her and she picks up where I left off.
"I said 'Oi Fred, stop hugging your girlfriend, where trying to find… Oh hello Lily.'." She says word for word.
"So that's the joke. Oh James is going to be so pissed when he finds out." Says Albus pulling Fred off the ground.
"We better go tell him." Says Fred and he and Albus disappear up to their dormitories and I go up to mine falling to sleep, even though my dorm mates were still trying to whisper.
Another Chapter done and dusted.
