Chapter 3. New Friends.

The Dormitories (AReviewoftheParty):When I came back to the dormitories Alana and Maggie were waiting for me.

"So? How was it?" Alana asked.

"It was… great." I smiled all over with a blush.

"Ooh…" Alana smirked at me.

"What?" Maggie asked confused.

"Lilys' got a boyfriend." Alana sang. Maggie looked impressed at me.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"Oh? Then why are you this happy?"

"I'm always happy when I get new friends." I tried to explain, Alana didn't buy it. "Okay.. Do you remember the boy I told you about yesterday?"

"The white-haired boy? Yeah we remember."

"Well… he was at Slughorns party. We became quit good friends." I shrugged.

"Soo? Who was he? I mean.. What's his name?"

"Um.. Scorpius." I whispered. "Malfoy." I said after a deep breath. Alana just looked normal at me, she didn't know about the Malfoys' rumour. But Maggie looked shocked almost terrified.

"Malfoy?" she whispered almost afraid of the name.

"Yes! Malfoy." I said a little to harsh. Maggie flinched. "Sorry Maggie."

"What's the big deal?" Alana suddenly burst out.

"Well.. The M-Malfoys' do-n't rea-lly h-have a good rep-putation." Maggie stammered nervously.

"Why not?" Maggie and I looked at each other and then told her everything about the second wizard war. When we were done, Alana whistled through her breath.

"Soo.. You befriended a traitor?" she concluded.

"NO! I'm sorry, but he's nothing like that!" I said a bit angry, I rushed to the bathroom and when I came back, I went to bed.

The next morning I woke up to someone calling my name. When I opened my eyes I saw Alana and Maggie sitting on my bed.

"Gooood morning." Alana sang.

"Good morning? What time is it?" I yawned.

"Its only 7.30" she smiled. "But we couldn't wait till you got up by yourself. We need to talk to you."

"Oh.. Okay?" I looked nervously at them.

"First we need you to tell us everything that happened after we left you yesterday." And so I did…

"…You almost got into Slytherin?" Maggie said with big surprised eyes.

"Well.. I'm not surprised, you've defended them, befriended them and got a boyfriend who's a Slytherin." Alana winked at me.

"Firstly he's not my boyfriend, we're only friends."

"And secondly?"

"There is none." Alana smiled at my respond. "There's no need to make such big a deal out of it. My father almost got into Slytherin himself, and se how he turned out. And my brother, Albus almost got into Slytherin as well."

"I'm not judging you. I don't have anything against the Slytherins'."

"And I think, that I just don't know them that well, I was raised in a Gryffindor house. Neither of my parents has anything nice to say about them, but I'm sure that once I get to know them, I will probably like them." Maggie explained. "But… that Malfoy guy.. He emh.. Sounds sweet."

"Soo?" Alana winked at me. "When are you going to meet him again?"

"Well, I'm guessing that I'm going to see him when we're eating. But we're going to meet tomorrow at the library." I smiled at them.

"Then what are we waiting for? Lets go eat." She got up.

"Wait… I have to get ready first; I'm still in my pyjamas. Beside, I have to talk to my brothers. They have to hear it from my mouth or else they're going to flip out." I said nervous.

"I'll bet you everything that they will get together." Alana whispered to Maggie.

"You know I heard that, right?" I shook my head.

"You know I'm right, right?" Alana laughed. "I know I'm right. I don't know why, but I know."

"Sure you do." Maggie tried to joke.

"I'm deathly serious." She looked at Maggie with a weird expression, which made Maggie scared.

"I'm just messing with you." She laughed.

After a quick bath, I brushed my teeth and got dressed. It was still weekend, so we could wear our regular clothes around the school. The weather was still summery, so I was wearing some overall shorts in light denim, a red plain t-shirt under it and my black converse, I really liked that brand, even though it was a muggle brand and they didn't last long. So I bewitched them with a simple last longer spell. Maggie was also dressed from top till toe in muggle brands, she had a really cute dress on, she told me the style of the dress was called Baby doll dress or something, and that it was from a store or a brand called Yves saint Laurent or something, it had a baby pink and white checkered pattern and a black bow around the waist. She had some black stockings and white ballerinas on; Alana just had some shorts in denim, a yellow top and some sneakers on.

The Common Room (TellingJamesandAlbus):we went down to the common room, Hugo and Wilfred was waiting for us.

"What took you so long?" Wilfred asked her sister.

"We had to talk." She shrugged.

"About what?"

"None of your business." Alana grinned at her brother.

"Hugo. Do you now where Albus and James are?" I asked.

"They're still in their dormitories. I went to return a book I've borrowed from Albus about Quidditch and James was with him. They should be down any seconds now. Why?"

"I have to talk to them about something."

"What?" James said, while coming down from the staircase with Albus.

"Hugo! Wilfred! I'm hungry lets go." Alana said. After they left, I made my brothers sit down.

"What is it Lily? Did someone make you cry? Do I really have to beat someone up?" James looked exited.

"What? Merlins' no!" I said angry. "No beating up! Promise me?"

"Fine, then what is it?"

"Is it about yesterday?" Albus asked suddenly. "Alright, we will forgive you if you promise to do our homework for a whole week."

"It's not about that."

"Then what is it?" James asked impatiently.

"Well.. You know that I went to Slughorns' party yesterday right?"

"Yeah, right after you made sure that our prank wouldn't hit the Slytherins, but ourselves." Albus said annoyed.

"Well, that's your own fault! If mum knew she would have done something worse than that. You got of easily." Albus scolded at me. "But could you let me speak now?" they nodded. "Thank you. Well you know Scorpius right?"

"Did he do something to you?" James began to rise from his chair.

"No! Will you please just listen? No one did anything to me, understand?" they nodded.

"I met him yesterday at the party, well actually I met him Friday, but I didn't know who he was at that time, but yesterday we officially met. And he's actually not that bad. We talked a lot and…"

"WHAT?!" Albus yelled.

"Al! Keep your voice down." James hushed at his brother.

"I know what you're going to say… I'm not asking permission, I'm just letting you know that I became friends with him, and it's no big deal." I hurried and explained.

"YOUR FRIENDS WITH HIM?"

"AL! Keep you voice down!"

"HOW CAN I?" both James and I gave him an angry look. "Fine! But I can't believe it! Malfoy tricked our sister into becoming friends with him!" he said angrily.

"He didn't trick me!" Albus kept ignoring me.

"What should we do about it James?"

"Nothing." James shrugged.

"What?" both Albus and I looked shocked at James. Neither of us was expecting that reaction.

"Look.. Who Lily becomes friends with is not something we should interfere in. I'm not saying that we can't be worried, but it's not our business. Besides you know Lily and you heard her, we can't stop her, we can try but we wouldn't succeed. Look at it from the bright side, she told us, she didn't lie to us or try hiding it from us, which would have been bad, she showed us trust and I'm not the one to let her down. And wasn't it you who told me some days ago, that Malfoy weren't as bad as you've expected?"

"Yeah but at that time he weren't going after my sister."

"Al, Lily is only eleven, Malfoy is only twelve. None of them is going after someone." James smiled. "But.. Lily if he ever do something to you, promise you'll tell us immediately."

"I promise." I got up and hugged James tightly and even though Albus didn't completely agree I hugged him as well, I knew that he would follow James example.

I walked happily down to the hall with my brothers, telling them almost everything. James smiled to me all the way, but Albus were still looking a little annoyed. Not because of me, because of Scorpius. It didn't help that we met Scorpius at the entrance to the hall, and when he greeted me, James had to stomp on Albus feet, to keep him from saying anything mean to Scorpius, James even smiled friendly to him before he went towards the Gryffindor table while he pulled Albus with him.

"Soo.. That's your brothers?" He claimed.

"Yeah. I'm sorry about Albus, he gets a little to protective sometimes." I gave him a big smile.

"I must confess, I was not sure whether you would tell them or not?"

"Why not?" he looked seriously at me.

"It doesn't matter." He finally said. "I'm just glad that we don't have to be secret friends."

The Library (Meeting Scorpius):Sunday went by quickly; most of the day was used on helping Alana, Wilfred and Hugo with their homeworks. Later James and Albus took me out to the Quidditch Pitch and lend me a one of the practise brooms'. We flew around until it was time for dinner. After dinner we were all sitting together in the common room, where we talked and played games until bedtime.

And now it was finally Monday, the day I was going to meet Scorpius at the library. Other than school, schoolwork and lunch, I used the time until the meeting by looking at the clock. Which made the time feel a lot slower than it was. And when it finally was time I rushed to the library. I went in the back as we agreed, I was the first to arrive, so I found a free table and sat down. While I was waiting I decided to eliminate some of the homework we had received. Almost an hour went by, and still no sight of Scorpius. I had finished my potion homework and began on my homework for DADA; I was almost done when he came rushing.

"Your still here." he said, panting.

"Of course." I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry for being late, I had Potions in my last period and professor Slughorn wouldn't let me go." He sounded worried.

"It's okay, it gave me time to finish my homework." He looked at me, amazed.

"You used your time on homeworks'?" he laughed.

"Is their something wrong with that?" I smiled.

"Not at all." He sat down across from me, relieved. "I just didn't know you liked studying."

"But you do now."

"Yeah.. Maybe you can help me out with some of mine… Some other time though." He laughed.

"Sure, any time. I'm used to help out my brothers."

"Really? That would be great. Thanks Lily."

"Of course. But I didn't think that you had any subjects, which you were lacking in? I've heard many things about you and intelligence was definitely one of them."

"Well, being intelligent and like studying is to different worlds." He smiled.

"Oh.. I didn't know that." I looked confused which made him laugh.

"I guess in your world, studying and intelligence does go hand in hand." For hours we were just sitting and talking about random things. I learned that his favourite eating were pumpkin pie I told him that mine were Treacle tart, just like my father, his favourite colour were red which made me blush a little, I told him that mine were green, we laughed by the fact that we liked each others main house colour.

"So who's your favourite band?" I was resting my head on my hands and my elbows on the table.

"Hmm.. It must be The Water Sireens." I looked at him shocked. "What?"

"That's my favourite band as well." I smiled. His favourite Quidditch player, were a keeper with the name Olive Slumbnud whom played for his favourite team, The Golden Goblets. Which he had in common with my brother Albus. He joked about that his favourite team were Slytherin, which made me laugh a little too much.

"I'm sorry.." I said wiping my eye. "Its nothing against the team, I just didn't expect it."

"Well.. Who's yours then?"

"Hm.. Actually I'm really fond of the English national team."

"Any players you favour?"

"The new coach." I said smirking.

"They've got a knew coach? Whom?" He asked exiting.

"My mother." He looked amazed.

"Are you seriously?"

"Yeah."

"Wow.. That's awesome, congratulation on your mom." He smiled at me.

"Thank you, I will pass your greetings to her." We talked a lot about Quidditch, who we thought would win the next National cup, who had the best chances in making the National team and so on.

"So you have a cat.. Snuggel right?"

"Right.. I were actually a bit surprised when I saw him laying on top of you, he normally don't like any other males than my family." I shrugged. "So do you have any pets?"

"Yeah." He laughed. "I'm actually the proud owner of a white ferret named Herrold."

"Really? Why a ferret? I would like to see him sometime."

"Well.. It's actually because of something that happened to my father, when he was a fourth year; a teacher turned him in to a ferret, a white ferret. And ever since I've heard that story, I wanted one. So the day I got my letter, my father came home with one." We laughed.

Right before we departed, we decided to meet up, when it became Saturday. We were going to meet at the tree in front of the lake, he promised to take Herrold with him. I couldn't wait.

Transfiguration: Alana and Maggie waited for me to tell them everything when I got back. So I did. Hugo and Wilfred were there and got a little confused in the beginning; I had to tell them everything from the beginning.

I told my brother the next day, that he and Scorpius had more in common than he thought; he just shrugged at it and wouldn't talk about it.

The week went by quickly. After a great first period of charms on Tuesday, we had Transfiguration with professor Kyle, a muggle born, excellent teacher, almost every students and teachers loved. Maggie and Alana sat behind me and next to me, Ipswich. Ever since I helped him in charms he'd been sitting next to me.

We had to transform some matches into some needles. No one was surprised when I was the first one to do it, Gryffindor gained 20 points and I was given free time, so I decided to help out Ipswich.

"No, no, no. Don't do it that way." I laughed at him when he tried to shuffle the matches around with his wand.

"What? Am I not doing it right?" he said and began poking instead, while mumbling some none understandable words. He made me laugh even more when he accidentally used the Dancing Charm on them and they began dancing across the table.

"Make them stop." He said panicking. I couldn't get it together I thought it was hilarious. Professor Kyle had to come and help him out. Ipswich looked shameful, but professor Kyle just started to laugh.

"That was actually fun, you get 5 points for giving me a good laugh. But don't think you will get of that easily the next time." He laughed.

"Soo.. You and Ipswich huh?" Alana smirked at me after class.

"What about us?"

"Oh come on, your obviously into each others."

"You said that about Scorpius and me as well. I'm not in love with every boy I'm talking to or having fun with. If I were, that would mean that I'm also in love with your brother."

"Okay, okay… but I know that you will be popular with the guys in a few years. More than you are now."

The Great Lake (MeetingLarkin): when Saturday came, the weather took a drastically turn, frost had fallen overnight, luckily it melted during the day but it was still cold, I had to wear long jeans and a warm, thick jersey top under my rope.

When I got to the lake Scorpius was already there, my cat had followed me all the way and was now rubbing against him.

"I had to make sure that I was here on time, so I went a little early." He told me. Scorpius was also wearing his rope over his normal clothes, and from his pocket he took up something white. When I looked a little closer I could see some whiskers.

"This is my ferret Herrold." The little ferret looked drowsy at me.

"Hello little one." I stroke him and he seemed to enjoy it a lot.

"He likes you." Scorpius stated.

We were both sitting on our ropes. Snuggel were lying in Scorpius lap, purring. And Herrold was sleeping up against Snuggel; it looked really cute.

"I heard you made the team, congratulation." I smiled at Scorpius.

"Thanks, where did you hear that?"

"Well.. Slughorn told me."

"He did?" I nodded.

"Well Slughorn told me, that you were outstanding in your last potion class."

"Really? I guess I did fine." I said a little shy.

"Oh no!.. I'm so sorry Lily."

"For what?" I looked at him nervously.

"Well.. It seems that my friend has been stalking me. I hope you don't mind? I guess that he really wanted to meet you." A guy I'd seen walking next to Scorpius a lot of times were walking down the hill from the castle, towards us. He was a little taller than Scorpius, had dark hair, brown eyes and his skin had a dark brown colour; the exact opposite of Scorpius.

"Lily.. This is Larkin Parkinson." He introduced him when Parkinson reached us.

"Just call me Larkin." He winked at me.

"Okay, I will then." I said and took his hand he held out for him.

"And you must be Lily, you don't mind me using your first name do you?"

"No, not at all." Larkin sat him self down in the grass, facing us.

"What were you talking about before I came and rudely intruded on you?"

"Quidditch." Scorpius answered.

"Do you play?" I asked Larkin.

"Of course, I'm the best keeper, the team have ever seen." He told me confidently. "Do you play Quidditch?"

"I'm not at the team yet, but yes I'm playing."

"Then you must be looking forward to the upcoming match."

"I am actually, that's one of the things I've been looking forward to, about this school."

"Really? I was looking forward to the food." He joked. Larkin turned out to be a really funny guy and it didn't take long before we were friends.

"Can I ask you a question?" Larkin asked me.

"Oh no, not that Larkin." Scorpius said, Larkin hushed at him and looked at me with anticipation.

"Okay… I guess?"

"I've been wondering. Did you or any of your brothers inherited your fathers' talent of speaking to snakes? Are any of you guys a Parseltongue?" Larkin asked me curiously.

"Well… My brother James liked the idea about it, so when we were younger he kept pretending that he was a Parseltongue, but the snakes just hissed at him and he shortly found out, after a few angry bites, that he couldn't talk to them." I laughed

"So no one?" he looked disappointed.

"Well Albus claimed once, to hear a snaked tell him to go get me some ice cream." I laughed. "But I'm sure he was just trying to lure an ice cream out of dad." We laughed about my brothers.

"So you haven't ever used it to your own benefits?" Scorpius asked.

"No. I don't have to use such a none cleverly trick like that, I use my poppy eyes." I grinned. "My father simply can't say no to that look, but I'm smart enough not to take advantages of it." I smiled.

The Quidditch Pitch (Gryffindorvs. Slytherin):November closed in quickly and with that, the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. The school was summing with anticipation, the match was on everybodys lips. Some were making bets, not something Headmistress McGonagall approved of. She was furious when she grabbed someone betting in the corridors, it didn't help that it was some 5th years, trying to lure some 1st years to do it.

Scorpius didn't talk about anything else, he was nervous for his first match ever. My brothers both shared his anxiety. It wasn't James first match, but it was his first as a captain.

Hugo used hours after hours, trying to explain Wilfred all about Quidditch. Maggie and Alana weren't interested in Quidditch, but they couldn't help but to be a little exited for the match.

And the closer we got to the second weekend of November, the worse it got. Even the teachers talked a lot about it. Professor Longbottom, who'd got the position of the Head of the Gryffindor house, when he became a teacher, looked through his fingers when some of the Gryffindor players forgot to do their homework. The fact that the girls went crazy over the players, and would follow them around, was a good excuse for not doing it anyway.

And then it was suddenly the second weekend in November. At breakfast all the new players from both teams were very quiet. James and I was pushing Albus to eat something.

"I-I can't, I j-just can't." he looked terrified.

"What is it you can't? Eat?" I asked him kindly.

"Everything! Anything!"

"Of course you can, no matter what it is. You're a Potter." James told him proudly.

"But I'm also a Weasley." Albus whispered.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Rose asked.

"Nothing.. Just that some of us can get a little to nervous sometimes."

"You're talking about my father right?" She looked annoyed. "For your knowledge, my father did excellent."

"Uncle Ron had talent, yes he was nervous. But he could do it. Don't say that you're also a Weasley like that, say it like. And I'm also a Weasley." I said with a proud voice. "Look.. Almost every one of our Weasley uncles was on the Quiddith team, and did well. Our own mother is the coach of the National team for Merlins' sake. You're going to be great." Albus straightened his back and looked uplifted.

"You're right Lily. Lets go, I'm ready." On the way out of the dining hall, we ran into Scorpius and Larkin. They were both smiling at me, which made Albus frown at them.

"Good luck you two." I smiled.

"Thank you Lily." Scorpius looked kindly at me.

"Thanks Lil." Larkin said.

"And good luck to you two." Scorpius said to my brothers, Albus ignored him.

"Thanks' and to you too." James said with a smile. "Come on Albus.. See you guys after the match." He said referring to Rose, the others and me.

"Soo Lil, I guess it's pointless of me to ask you if you would cheer for me." Larkin flirted, which made me laugh.

"I can cheer on you, but not in front of the Gryffindors'" I winked, knowing I would get questioned afterward. "See you after the match, don't break anything." I waved at them.

"Larkin's going to break his right arm and he will get a concussion." Alana said seriously.

"Why do you think that?" she shrugged and laugh.

The Gryffindor and the Slytherin team were walking towards the center of the pitch, when they met in the middle Madam Hooch made the captains shake hands. James and Greengrass wished each other a good and fair game. I could se Scorpius from up here; he was the only player with bright hair.

Hugo offered me his magical binoculars, I zoomed in on the players and saw how focused they all looked, nervous and serious. They got on their brooms ready to set of from the ground. Madam Hooch send them flying with the Quaffle in her hand, she then released the Golden Snitch and the two Bludgers. When they were up in the air she threw the Quaffle and started the game. Albus and Scorpius were already looking for the snitch, determined to catch it as soon as possible. Larkin and Gryffindors keeper, Melvin was holding their post tremendously. After 20 minutes into the game, only a few Quaffles had past them. James earned most of the points made by Gryffindor, but a girl named Mary Hornwork showed impressive skills as well. The match was at this moment 50-20 to Gryffindor.

Suddenly a Bludger came flying across the pitch and then someone were yelling, I looked in the direction of Slytherins goals and saw Larkin fall of his broom, the match were on a hold, allowing the teachers to get Larkin off the field and to the hospital wing. When they'd removed him, Madam Hooch blew her whistle, making us all know that the match was going to continue on. And so it did…

After 20 more minutes the score were set 230-40 and then the Snitch were finally caught. Albus and Scorpius had seen the snitch at the same time, but while rushing towards the snitch, another bludger came rushing. Albus got hit on his catching arm, which gave Scorpius an advantage and he caught the snitch, ending the game 230-190.

"Wow.. Some game." Wilfred whistle. "Not at all the same as football."

"Do you think Larkin made it?" I asked Alana worried.

"Of course." She said calmly.

After congratulating my brothers outside the Gryffindor changing rooms, I rushed to the hospital wing. When I got there a lot of Slytherins were surrounding a bed, which I guessed Larkin would be in.

"What are you doing here?" A Slytherin hissed at me. "Came to get a good laugh?" some Slytherins began surrounding me; I looked confused at them while shaking my head.

"N-no… I came to see if Larkin is all right. Is Scorpius here?" I said nervously.

"We don't by that." A big angry looking 5th year came towards me with his fist raised at me.

"WHAIT!" Scorpius yelled, getting everyones' attention, He came rushing in from my behind. "She's okay, she's a friend of us." He explained to them; he stood in front of me protectively. "Is he awake?" some shook their heads; some stood in shock and looked at me, the rest looked at me, not believing what they've just heard. Scorpius took my hand and got us through the crowd. He was now standing at Larkins bedside. His eyes were closed. After a little while the Slytherins got hungry and left, leaving only Scorpius and me with Larkin. When Madam Pomfrey came to check on him I asked about his condition.

"Well its nothing serious. His right arm is broken and he's got a concussion." She told me. I looked at Madam Pomfrey leaving the room and I looked at Larkin in shock.

"What's wrong?" Scorpius asked worried. "You heart Madam Pomfrey, it isn't that serious."

"My friend… she knew." I whispered.

"What did she knew?"

"About Larkin."

"You have to explain, I'm not sure I understand"

"Before the match, after I wished you two good luck, she told me what would happen."

"She knew we would loose?" he looked depressed.

"No.. Or.. Maybe? I don't know.. But she knew what would happen to Larkin." He looked at me for a little while, not sure if he should believe it or not.

"Well.. Maybe it was just a lucky guess."

"Yeah.. Maybe." I said deep in thought. What if it weren't a lucky guess? What if she could actually see into the future? I looked at Scorpius who still looked depressed, and I suddenly remembered that they'd lost the match.

"I'm sorry by the way, I'm guessing that a Gryffindor isn't exactly who you want to be around at this moment?"

"What?" he looked confused. "Oh.. No it's okay… its not your fault." He smiled at me.

"Well, it was a great match, both teams were equal most of the time. To bad you lost your keeper, I think the match would have been pretty tight if you hadn't." I smiled.

When I came back to the common room, the Gryffindors' were throwing a party. Albus sat in the corner, not quite in the party mood.

"How's your arm?" I asked him worried.

"It's fine. Professor McGonagall healed it right after the match." He shrugged.

"So why aren't you partying?" I asked him.

"Malfoy caught the snitch." He said disappointed.

"So? You still won."

"Yeah I know. But Malfoy caught the snitch, Malfoy!" he sounded unreasonable so I decided to leave him alone. Instead I dragged Alana to our dormitories.

"What is it Lily?" she asked me.

"How did you know?"

"How did I know what?"

"How did you know what would happen to Larkin."

"What?... Oh… are you serious? Did he break his right arm?" she asked me shocked.

"And got a concussion." She looked as if she didn't believe what she was hearing.

"I guess, it was just a really lucky guess." She said after awhile, thinking.

"I don't think so. I think that you really knew what was going to happen."

"Maybe?"

"I think you should talk to professor McGonagall about it and maybe professor Firenze as well." I looked at her seriously.

"Who's Firenze?"

"The teacher of Divination."

"Okay I will. But after the Holidays." She smiled happily. "I love Christmas."
