Hey everyone thanks for everything, I really liked that you guys enjoyed it. So anyway this is where I am going to introduce some of Lily's special qualities. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Images flashed through Lily's head, as she slept. Large reptilian eyes, bloody writing, screaming of a man and a woman, cold laughter, fire, bodies of friends, and sad moaning coming from water, then a loud hiss.
Lily got up quickly, drenched in cold sweat. She was breathing heavily and looking around. She saw that no one else was up, she slowly lit a candle and brought out her book of potions and herbs. She read it to calm herself down and to also get some more studying in.
When she was finally finish memorizing the book, she saw that the girls were stirring to wake up. She quickly blew out the candle, put the book away, and pulled the covers over her. She heard the beds creak and girls groan as the were getting ready.
Then she felt someone shake her.
" C'mon Lily, its time to get up." Ginny groaned sleepily.
Lily made a realistic groan and only pulled the covers closer.
" C'mon what about classes." Ginny groaned back, obviously not in the mood to deal with this.
" Fine, Fine. I'm up, Happy?" Lily asked, in a realistic tired voice.
Ginny nodded and headed off to the showers.
Meanwhile, Lily got up and looked around her area. She smiled when she saw Loki curled up around the bed post. Then she showered, got dressed, did her hair, and headed down for breakfast.
When she was their she sat with her brother and his friends. She just grabbed a simple plate of eggs and toast with orange juice.
It seemed like it was going to be a peaceful breakfast, until Ron's owl crashed down into the table. Everyone was shocked by this, except Ron who groaned.
Lily also noticed it had a red card in its beak. And when Ron grabbed it Neville told him to be careful , for it was a howler.
Ron was sure scared and was bracing himself for whatever it contained. And he had a right to.
When he opened it, it transformed itself into a mouth and started shouting.
" Car gone! Father is in trouble! And you could have gotten killed! What were you thinking Ronald?! Or more importantly, WERE YOU EVEN THINKING AT ALL!?
Now your father is in trouble at his job, all because of your recklessness! I have half a mind to send you back home young man!
The voice of Ron's mother shouted. But when it turned top Ginny its voice was softer.
" And Ginny, me and your father are so proud of you."
But then it turned back to Ron and blew a raspberry at him, before destroying itself.
The kids at the other tables were all snickering and muttering to one another. While, Harry rubbed his friends back in comfort and Hermione was asking what happened.
Lily was interested, so she asked what happened.
Harry almost flinched slightly, before turning to his sister sheepishly.
" Um, well, me and Ron…we , um, took his car and accidentally crashed into the, uh, whomping willow." he explained, scooting back a little.
But Lily's expression was totally calm.
" Are you okay?" she asked with a worried look in her eyes.
Harry nodded, but immediately regretted it. Because, when Lily heard that she flicked his forehead.
" Darn it, Harry! You scared me, for a minute! When you said you crashed, I thought you were seriously hurt!" She exclaimed in frustration.
" Ow, Sorry Lily. I didn't want you to worry." Harry apologized while rubbing his forehead.
But Lily only flicked him again. Only this time she hugged him after words.
" I'm your sister, its my job to worry." she replied softly.
After Breakfast, the houses went to their classes. Lily's first class was Charms.
After some awkward roll call, Lily started her work. In the end she earned two points for her house.
Next was Herbology. At first Lily thought it would be normal, but Lockhart showed up asking to meet with Lily. The girls were cheering her on, while the boys were giving her an I'm sorry look. But, to shorten things. Lockhart just told her how she needed to help her brother with his need for attention. Which made Lily even more displeased with the man in front of her.
Then, there was potions. Snape made his usual speech about the class and the usual remarks at the intelligence of the students. After that he started role call.
" Ginny Weasley." he called monotonously.
" Here." the young girl replied nervously.
" Lily Evans Potter." he called out. But it was different. He had a small smile on his face.
" Here sir." Lily replied, smiling.
Today they were going to make a potion that would cure someone of the flu. Lily was paired with Ginny, which was great for the both of them. Lily knew what she was putting in the potion, due to the book she read.
She even ignored the flashes of Colin's camera. The young boy thought it was awesome he was in the same class as Lily.
" Mr. Creevey, perhaps you should be focusing on your work, then other students?" Snape commented, while giving Colin a small glare.
Then he moved to Lily and Ginny's work.
" Good work, Ms. Weasley, Lily." he praised, with a smile. Which shocked everyone.
But they stopped once he got his usual look back.
Even though he was told to stop, Colin didn't stop taking pictures of Lily. He took side views, back views, and even called out her name to catch her whole face. His partner was trying to control the potion but it was too difficult to handle on their own. In the end the potion exploded.
The weird purplish goop landed on an unknowing Gryffindor student and Colin himself.
Then the two started screaming in pain. Lily saw this and went to help them. She wiped away the goo to reveal scaly yellow skin.
" Professor Snape!" Lily exclaimed in panic.
Snape turned away from a student he was checking, to see the children.
" You idiot! I told you to stop fooling around! Now look at what happened!" he exclaimed in anger.
Lily quickly wrote something, gave it to Ginny, then offered to take Colin and the other student to Madame Pomfrey.
After potions, Lily saw she had some free time. So she decided to check on her brother.
He was outside with his Quidditch team and the Slytherin team. They seemed to be talking about something.
" Harry! I came to see you!" she cheered at her brother.
But she stopped when she saw the unpleased looks of the Gryffindors and the smirks of the Slytherins.
" What's going on?" she asked in anxiety.
" We had permission to be here first." Oliver gritted out in pure anger at the Slytherin team leader.
Though the young man told them that their team had gotten permission to be there as well. Soon a whole argument broke out, and a surprise was revealed.
Draco was part of the team now, due to his father buying new brooms for the team.
" Draco you're on the team now?" Lily asked in amazement .
Draco only smiled and nodded. But Harry explained what is going on with his friends.
" He cheated his way in, Lily." Ron told her, while glaring at the young Malfoy.
" Oh shut up Weasley!" Draco shot at Ron.
" I can't believe the teachers would allow someone to bribe their way into a team. You should be ashamed of yourself Malfoy." Hermione stated in anger and disbelief.
" Why should I listen to a common Mudblood, like you, Granger." Draco hissed back.
Hermione now had a look of hurt and confusion on her face. While Harry was left confused but angry. So was Lily but she thought of what that word was.
Lily has heard every racist term there was, by people full of hate. So she knew that this was meant to insult someone.
" That's it Malfoy! Eat slugs!" Ron exclaimed, as he pulled out his damaged wand.
But the spell back fired and Ron was left vomiting slugs. It was even worse when Colin, who was cured from his predicament, came snapping pictures. The Slytherins just laughed at the poor boy.
So Harry, Hermione gathered up Ron and took him to Hagrid's.
Lily just stood there for a while,staring sadly at the slugs on the ground. She felt tears sting her eyes, the cruelty of the team was to much for her to bear.
So she gathered up the slugs and looked at Draco with tear filled eyes. Then she just ran off.
Draco had stopped his laughing when he saw Lily's eyes. He felt like he betrayed her. Like he had hurt her in a cruel and unimaginable way.
Meanwhile Lily was near Hagrid's place, putting the slugs in a safe area. But while she did this she heard Hagrid explain what Mudblood meant.
' Dirty blood.' she thought, then broke down crying.
For some reason an insult that wasn't even directed at her, hurt so much.
So the beginning was a little look at what Lily can do. And Colin is also a fan boy for her and her brother. I will also leave you to guess why that insult made her like this. Until the next chapter. Hope you liked it. Bye-Bye J
