Chapter Four

First Detention, and now Hugo

Lily woke up early that morning, and the only other one that was up in the dorm was Athena. She just gave Lily a quick hello before going back to checking her school supplies. Lily got her robe and took a quick shower before she got dressed in her school robes. She then decided to try and wake up Aleera.

"Aleera, Aleera." she said trying to wake her up gently.

"What" she said through her sheet that she was curled up in a ball underneath.

"You need to get up." she said softly. Athena stuck she head out and looked at her watch on her bed side table.

"It's five-thirty. Breakfast doesn't start till seven. Wake me up at six." she said before going back under the covers.

Lily went to go check that she had everything she needed for her classes. All her dorm mates except Aleera started to wake up so Lily went over to Aleera's bed again.

"Ok now you really do need to get up."

"Okay." she said sitting up in her bed.

Lily waited for her to get ready and then they went into the common room to find Lysander waiting for them. The three friends went down to the great hall together. They sat down and Lily picked up a piece of toast and started smothering it with strawberry jam when Professor Patil came over to them.

"Hello are you enjoying your breakfast?" she asked.

"Yes it's delicious Professor." Lysander replied.

"Well good. I just came over here to give you these." she handed Lily there class lists.

"Thank you Professor." Lily said politely.

"Have a good day girls and Mr. Scamander of cores." she said with a small smile before going further down the table. Lily looked at the lists to find that they all had the same classes.

"So what's first?" Aleera asked.

"Charms." Lily was still looking at her list. "Oh, we don't have Defense Against the Dark Arts tell are very last class."

"Well that means they saved the best of last." Aleera said a little sadly but then perked up. "Which house is it with?"

"Gryffindor. Charms is with the Hufflepuffs, Transfiguration with the Gryffindors, Herbology with the Slytherins, and then Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"We can finally meet professor Parkinson. She apparently in a really strict teacher and is known for favoring the Slytherins, because she was a Slytherin when she was a student here. She's the only teacher I have ever heard my sister talk badly about." Aleera seemed to not be to worried about it, just curious. James came over to the table.

"What subject does she teach?"

"Transfiguration."

"Lily could I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.

"Sure." she said getting out of her seat. They left the great hall and James took her to an empty class room.

"Okay. I'm only doing this because I'm the nicest big brother in the world." he said looking in his bag, and taking out a piece of folded up paper. Lily instantly know what it was.

"You're giving me the Marauders Map?" she said smiling up at him.

"No. I'm letting you borrow it, so you can find all your classes, and then I want it back in a week or two." James looked at her as though she were crazy.

"Thank you James." she said in a sweet little sister voice. James rolled his eyes at his younger sisters sweet act. He knew Lily long enough to know that she was far from an angel.

"Yeah, yeah, just don't say I never did anything for you." James handed her the map. "You actually thought I was going to give you the map, and I thought Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart."

"I'm going to ignore that sarcastic remark." Lily said while she opened the door and they went back to the great hall. Lily sat back down at the table and started eating her toast.

"So what did James want?" Aleera asked.

"I'll tell you once we're done." Lily said going back to her toast. Just then the mail came. Lily hadn't seen this many owls in one place in her life. There were screech owls, snowy owls, scop owls, barn owls, and all sorts of other owls that Lily couldn't even name at that time. Lily instantly recognized their family barn owl Lambeau flying over to James. He has three letters so she expected that they all had one. Lambeau left the Gryffindor table, and stopped in front of Lily. She took the letter signed for her and thanked him with a piece of toast that he stuck in his beak, but didn't eat until he got to the Slytherin table to deliver Albus his own letter.

Lily had forgotten to write a letter to her parents, and she wondered if they had found out about her being sorted into Ravenclaw. She opened the letter and read what it said.

Dear Lily,

We are so happy that you were sorted into Ravenclaw. Your mother and I are so proud of you and we hope you write soon. We are kind of lonely without you and your jabber mouth here to keep us company. Don't forget to write Grandma and Grandpa Weasley and stay out of trouble.

Love,

Dad

Lily stuck the letter in the pocket of her robes, and promised to write them as soon as she could. Aleera also got a letter from home and a Prophet.

"They still haven't found him." she said to no one in particular. She didn't have to say more, Lily already know about the escaped Death Eater Yaxley that had broken out of Azkaban in April. Her dad has been working himself to death trying to find him for months. No one has succeeded in the attempted to break out since the second war began, and that was with the help of the dementors. She made a mental note to ask her dad how it was going. She left the great hall with Aleera and started up the spiral staircase.

"So what did he want?" she asked impatiently. Lily looked around the deserted corridor they were in and took out the map.

"An old piece of parchment?" Aleera asked.

"No. This isn't just some old piece of parchment it's the Marauders Map." Lily explained.

"The Marauders Map? It was mentioned in The Trio."

"Oh yeah. I had forgotten that my Aunt mentioned it in her book."

"God you are related to a lot of people." Aleera joked. Lily started to laugh and Aleera soon followed filling the hall with so much loud laughter that it rang off the brick walls. They didn't realize that Cassie had come up behind them till she gently tapped both their shoulders. They automatically yelled and swirled around to face whomever had scared them and relaxed when they saw Cassie standing there smiling.

"Aren't we a little jumpy today." she said with a smile on her face. Lily quickly hid the map in her robe pocket.

"Don't scare us like that." Lily said still catching her breath.

"What's this us stuff about? I wasn't scared I was merely surprised." Aleera joked.

"Well that means I'm going to have to try harder next time," Aleera stuck her tongue out at her older sister. "but that's not why I'm here. I could hear you two all the way down the next hall, and you really need to get to your first class." she said while going into her prefect mode but not being as strict as they had seen her with other students this morning. "I could show you where it is if you want?"

"No thank you, I'm pretty sure we can find it." Aleera said.

"Okay then. Get to class though, or I will have to give you a detention." she said strictly before going down the hall. As soon as she turned the corner they both became excited.

Lily pulled out the map and taped her wand to the paper. "I've never really used the map so here goes. I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." she said and ink appeared on the paper. It formed like a web and went all along the page and at the top there were these words.

Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers

Are proud to present

The Marauder's Map

"Wow." Aleera said amazed. Lily quickly found where they were on the map and then where the Charms classroom was.

"Okay, so here we are," she said pointing to the two sets of feet on the map with their names on them.

"You mean those feet are us?" she interrupted Lily moving a little over and watching as the feet on the parchment did the same. "Cool."

"Yes, but as I was saying if we're here and the Charms classroom is on the second floor, then we should go that way." she said pointing to the direction Aleera's sister had just went. With the help of the map they found the classroom in no time, and were two of the first people to arrive along with Athena and that girl that talks too much. They had obviously walked here together and Lily thought that was an odd pair considering that Lily hadn't heard five words out of Athena's mouth since she first meet her, and she seemed to keep more to herself. The other girl seemed outgoing and talkative, the complete opposite of Athena.

"Well hello girls, so nice to see some bright faces ready to learn on the first day." Professor Patil said as she came into her classroom with a smile on her face. They all mumbled a good morning to their head of house, and went to choose a desk. Aleera and Lily sat in the middle of what they discovered was the Ravenclaw side of the room for their lessons. Athena and the blond sat in front waiting for the bell to ring. Soon after all the other students started to arrive and Lily waved at Alice before she sat down with the Hufflepuffs. The bell rang and Professor Patil got them to quiet down before starting their first class.

"Well, welcome to your first Charms class, which you will be taking for the next five years at least. So can anyone tell me the definition of Charms?" she asked smiling at them all. Athena razed her hand immediately, and the Professor seemed a little sad that no one wanted to try except her. She immediately brightened as Lily's hand rose in the air slowly. "Yes Miss. Potter would you care to explain what I will be teaching you all in this class?"

"Well Charms is a type of magic that gives an object new and unexpected qualities." Lily answered a little shyly remembering what she had read in her school book.

Professor Patil's smile widened at the answer. "Correct Miss Potter. Five points to Ravenclaw." At her words Athena looked back with anger. She didn't like it when others stole her spot light. Seeing this Aleera stuck her tongue out at her in a very childish manner. "Today you will be learning the hover charm." She pointed her wand at a stack of feathers and said, "Wingardium Leviosa." The feathers levitated and with the movement of her wand they started landing neatly on the students' desks. The class just stared in ah. "Now can anyone tell me anything about this spell?" Athena's hand shot up again.

"Yes Miss Coleman."

"It is one of the earliest recorded spells in the wizarding world. It is a basic spell but the hand movement is very specific."

"Great, another five points to Ravenclaw."

Professor Patil showed them the wrist movements, and then they all started to practice. Athena was the first in the class to successfully levitate her feather earning another five point for their house, and Lily soon found out how to master it. At the end of the lesson there were five people that successfully did the spell. The Professor gave each house ten points for their determination on finishing the task. Patil dismissed them, and told them they would try it again in there next lesson. Lily and Aleera were two of the last people out the door with Professor Patil right behind them when they saw Hugo running toward them. He stopped right in front of them to catch his breath.

"What is it Hugo?" Lily asked worried.

"Slyther Slyth.." he stopped and took two deep breaths before he continued. "I just found out that the Gryffindors are having flying lessons with the Slytherins." he said in a hurry.

"So?" Aleera asked.

"Hugo's never been that fond of flying." Lily explained.

"That is an understatement. Rose got dad's flying abilities and I have my moms fear of heights! I got all of my parents bad qualities while Rose is the charming, smart, courageous, flier. I'm going to make a complete fool out of myself!" he said a little sadly.

"That's not true. You did at least get half of Aunt Hermione's brain and if you applied yourself you could get really good grades, I'm sure." Lily tried to bossed his spirits.

"Not the time to lecture me about grades Lily. I have three days to get over my fear!"

"I'm sure you can't be that bad." Aleera looked skeptical.

"He's only been on a broom once and that was when he was five. Apparently he fainted." Lily said quietly.

"Yeah, and if it weren't for my dad being on the broom with me I would have fallen off!" Hugo had a little squeak in his voice as his face whitened.

"Don't worry Mr. Weasley, Madam Hooch will be there if anything should go wrong." Professor Patil said from behind Lily and Aleera.

"Yes I know, but Lily would you help me learn how to fly? Please." he looked so pitiful that Lily couldn't say no.

"I guess so, but why me. Couldn't you ask Rose or something?" Lily asked a little surprised that Hugo wanted her help.

"Because I've seen you fly and you're like the most wonderful flier I've ever met besides maybe your dad." he confessed.

"Wow Hugh, I never thought you thought so highly of me." Lily said a little flattered.

"Well yeah, you can fly without being really taught. It's second nature to you and well you're amazing on a broom." Lily knew he was definitely exaggerating.

"Okay stop sucking up. Meet me in front of the great hall after classes and we can go down to the quidditch pitch." Lily told him.

"I really don't like the thought of Mr. Weasley getting hurt, so I will be accompanying you if you wouldn't mind?" Patil asked Lily.

"Actually that would be a big help. I don't know what I would do if it was my fault Hugo got hurt."

"Alright at five thirty we will meet at the great hall, and if you are more than ten minutes late I will be going back to my offices, and you wont have my help." she looked a little stern so she could put her point across that she was serious.

Hugo wouldn't stop scaring himself about flying all the way to Transfiguration. His annoying fear had made Lily forget about the map, and they had to ask for directions. When they did finally make it to their next class they were late, and Parkinson gave then detention on the first day. Lily thought she saw a gleam of laughter in her teachers eyes as she told them to come to her office at seven tomorrow evening.

Herbology helped her mood immensely. Neville always had that effect on all her cousins, and herself. He would listen to you, even if what you were saying was ridiculous. He knew how to make anyone feel better, and Lily didn't think he even knew he had this amazing ability. It only lasted about five minutes though.

Stephanie was sitting in front of her with a group of Slytherins. Neville gave them a small moment to talk as they elected one person to get the plant, and soil they needed. Stephanie didn't say anything to the other Slytherins, and they didn't seem to notice her. Lily reached as far as she could to tap her on the shoulder.

"Psst, Stephanie!" She whispered.

Lily got a sigh in response, before the blond looked behind her. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to see how you were doing?" Lily was a little shocked by the harshness in the Slytherin's voice.

"I'm fine." Stephanie rolled her eyes before turning back to the group that was now starting to work on the assignment without her help. One of the girls glared at her before whispering to the other. They both started to laugh, and Lily could tell that Stephanie was becoming the main target for their teasing. Lily wanted to tell them to shut up, but Stephanie obviously didn't want her help.

She turned back to Aleera, and Lysander, and tried to keep her attention on the plant that she couldn't even remember the name of. They were supposed to be replanting it, and giving it water. It was boring, but Neville promised them they would be doing more exciting assignments in the future.

Lily's last class of the day came before she knew it, and she was sitting by Hugo waiting for the Defense Professor to show up. Aleera turned around to face them. She and Lysander where in front of them. "So, what was that all about in Longbottom's class?"

"What?" Hugo asked.

"I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Lily. So, what was it, and who was she?"

"Her name's Stephanie Wilson, and I met her before the sorting ceremony, and now she's apparently ignoring me." Hugo gave her an angry, disappointed, parental look, that she ignored.

"I'm sure she's just confused right now. If you want to be friends with her she must be a nice person, but she just got sorted into the house with the worst reputation in the world. She probably needs some time to think." Aleera's surprisingly wise words were helpful, and soothing. Lily should have expected Hugo to ruin it.

"Or she needs some time to come up with a plan to ruin your life."

"SHUT UP HUGO!" Lily really had no idea why she sounded so harsh. She just exploded on her cousin for no reason. She heard someone cough, and she looked up to see a professor she had seen last night at the staff table. He had a few scars on his face, and he looked down on her with a stern expression.

"Miss Potter, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't yell in my classroom." Lily hung her head in shame.

"Sorry Professor." She looked over at Hugo as the teacher went to the board. He was deliberately looking anywhere around the room to not have to look at her. Lily knew he was angry, and hurt. Her attention was brought back to the board by her Professor talking.

"I'm Professor Crawford, and I'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor for the years to come at Hogwarts..." As he talked Lily knew Hugo wouldn't be talking to her for at least the rest of the hour.

'Great, first detention, and now Hugo... This was turning out to be the worst day ever'

A/N I hope no one hates me for changing it, but ever since I posted this chap. I knew it was missing a lot, and I had everything to squashed together.
