Lilly trampled down the stairs, her perfectly manicured feet making as much noise as she could muster. She wanted everyone to know she was going, and she wanted everyone to give her a large farewell.
As Lilly made her way to the bottom of the grand staircase, she saw all of her staff lined up on the wall, leading to the door. Some of them looked happy, and some of them looked indifferent, but no one seemed sad that she was going.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye for. Well at least until summer. Then I will be back home!"
Lilly said this with as much enthusiasm as she had, hoping to make the house elves show a little more emotion that was acceptable to her. As she looked around at all of the miniature creatures, she saw looks only shine brighter than before.
"Why you-"
"Lill, come one. Get in the car, or else you'll miss the train and be locked in at home all year."
Lilly gave one last huff of disapproval and turned on her heel to leave. She stepped out of the double doors and onto the marble steps, her shoes clicking lightly on the surface, and got into the back seat of her fathers Bentley.
Hmph. Fine, don't miss me. I won't miss you either, you disgusting creatures.
As the vintage car rolled along the deserted road, she thought about why exactly she was going to Hogwarts.
I hope this is the right decision. I really do not want to be in a place I hate for a year. Although, I hate home too. Nothing could be worse than home. I hope…
A few hours later, Lilly opened her eyes to see the station in front of the car. She rubbed her eyes to help them adjust to the light. Her dad had opened her door and grabbed her trunk from the back, and he was now making his way to her.
Lilly shook out her legs and stepped out of the cars. As she stood, her skirt crept up her legs. As she went to fix it and pull it down to it's full knee length, she stopped and realized she wasn't home anymore. She could do what she wanted and when she wanted.
Lilly left her skirt as it was, hiked up a few inches, and walked over to her father. Draco eyed the new length, but decided not to say anything. She was on her own now, and he didn't really care. What was a few inches?
They walked together over to where platforms 9 and 10 met. Draco turned to the barrier, and directed her to do the same. He ran full speed at the wall, Lilly running right behind him. When she realized she was finally through, she looked up at the magnificent black and red train ahead of her. Stretched as far as she could see, Lilly was hypnotized.
As Lilly stood there, staring at the Hogwarts Express, boys of all ages walked by her, staring. She was completely oblivious to their obvious enjoyment of how she looked, too star-struck to notice.
"Okay Lilly. Time to go, the train will be leaving soon, and you want to find a compartment away from all those other people." Draco bent down to kiss his daughters forehead. "You're mother and I will want to hear from you soon after you get their, so send Serafina to us with news of how it went, and of course how the Slytherin's accepted you."
Draco smiled at Lilly, and walked her trunk onto the train. He walked back to the platform and stood their, waiting for the train to leave. Lilly turned back to the Express and stepped up into one of the entrances. As she made her way onto the train, she saw how many people actually went to Hogwarts.
The halls were filled with tiny children, and almost full grown adults. As Lilly walked down the aisles she searched for an empty compartment, but she couldn't find one. Finally, when she reached the very back of the train, she found an empty compartment. The walked inside, wondering where her trunk was. Suddenly, there was a knock on the compartments door.
"Uh, hi. I have your trunk right here?"
Lilly stood up from her seat and opened the sliding door. Outside was a small boy, probably around age 13, dragging her trunk along behind him. She stood back from the door so he could bring her trunk into the tiny room. He pulled it underneath the seat opposite her, and walked out of the room after not receiving the thanks he expected.
She sighed as she sat down, wondering when the train would finally leave. As she finally got comfortable, another knock came to her door. She was starting to get frustrated by all of this nonsense. What now?
She opened the door, and in walked 3 guys. They just walked right by her and plopped down on the benches in the room.
"Excuse me?"
The guys looked up from their seats, curious as to who interrupted their conversation. When they saw her, they just looked, waiting for her to continue.
"What are you doing in here? Could you not even ask if someone was in here?"
The boys laughed. Lilly could not see what was so funny. One of the boys spoke up.
"Obviously someone was in here. You opened the door, didn't you? I'm Ben, and I'm a seventh year. You are?"
Lilly wasn't sure whether to be mad or interested. These boys were really cute, and older.
"Hi. I'm Lilly. Lilly Malfoy." And she flashed these boys her biggest smile, waiting for them to be so pleased that they had met her and to kiss her feet.
When Lilly looked directly at them, she saw the looks exchanged. Looks of "we've got to get out of here". She didn't understand what was wrong. The train had started to move and she was thrown down into her seat, right next to one of the boys. He jumped up and went to the door.
The boy named Ben turned to her, nodded his head, and practically ran out of the compartment, the others following him. She didn't understand.
What was wrong with me? Were they intimidated? Did I say something wrong?
As the train gained speed, she curled into the seat and wondered what was wrong, thinking herself to sleep…
