Chapter 3: Sisterly Talks

As Piper slept peacefully, Lilly watched over her while reviewing her summer assignments. After a few hours Lilly saw Piper start to wake up and rushed to her side.

"Lilly?" Piper asked as she rubbed sleep from her eyes.

"What's going on? Why am I in your room?"

"Hey Pi, your in my room because papa and Uncle Ronald were arguing about something that upset you a lot and Rikki told me to take care of you, which I would have done anyway once I found out something happened to you. How are you doing baby girl? Do you want to talk about it?"

"Oh... I guess I am feeling better," Piper stated as she remembered what happened "I have been having nightmares lately and I don't know why. The people in my nightmares are ones that I have never seen or met in real life and it scares me." She said as she stared to cry again.

"Awww, Pi come here, it's okay, I'm sorry I can't protect you from your nightmares, but I can tell you not to worry about running into the monsters in your dreams in real life because a lot of people are willing to protect you. You have me, Rikki, papa, all the aunts and uncles, your friends, Rose, and, although he is an idiot sometimes, you have Albus. If you have one of those nightmares again you can come to me, no matter what time it is and I'll do my best to comfort you, okay?"

"Mhmm, thank you Lilly, I love you." Piper exclaimed as she burrowed herself deeper into her sisters embrace.

"So, wanna tell me about what took you and Rikki so long, or about Alex Malfoy, since your best friend likes to exaggerate, especially about the wrong doings of the Malfoys?" Teased Lilly, and Piper felt herself blush when thinking about both subjects, then Lilly laughed.

"Is it that bad?"

"No, just a little embarrassing."

"Well I am waiting, I want allllll the deets."

"Ugh, fine, just never use that voice again. Both are kinda related. You see the Alex thing was an accident, me and Polly were leaving the bookstore a and I went ahead of Polly and I walked into Alex as she walking out of the rows of bookshelves and I ended up on the ground. She was about to help me up and introduce herself when Polly showed up and started insulting her, Alex retaliated then her brother showed up and Aunt Mione showed and we left."

"So you're saying that Polly stared of the whole mess and it would have gone differently if she hadn't interrupted?"

"Uhh, I guess?"

"Piper, please promise me that you will make new friends at Hogwarts, and don't let Polly chooses them. You will have a hard enough time adjusting without your 'best friend' feeding you prejudice remarks and getting into trouble over senseless arguments."

"Okay, I was planning to anyway because of my talk with mama."

"SO, wanna tell me about that too?"

"No, not really."

"Well, now I am more interested in whatever you two were talking about."

"I am not telling you!"

"I have my ways to get the information I want, you know" said Lilly with a devilish smirk.

Piper looked thoughtful for a moment, before a look of horror crossed her face recalling the last time her sister had to use her "special methods" to get information from her.

"Okay fine I'll tell you what we talked about!"

"Good, I'm glad that I don't have to convince you like last time." Lilly stated with an evil smirk on her face.

"Mama stopped to talk to m to make sure that I don't let Polly or anyone else influence who I choose to befriend, I asked her if I had a chance of making friends with Alex and she said maybe." Piper blushed at the mention of the youngest Malfoy. "Then she muttered something about stupid British Wizards."

Lilly noticed that her younger sister blushed when she talked about making friends with the youngest Malfoy and realized that she and Piper might be more alike than anyone else realized. In her mind Lilly vowed to be there for her sister when she realized her attraction to girls, and to make sure that Piper would be able to make her own friends instead of being forced to make friends with only the "light" students.

In the moment of silence Piper started to fidget, thinking that the one person she could turn to would tell her that she shouldn't make friends with Alex Malfoy, despite what she said earlier. Noticing her sister's unease, Lilly said,

"I agree with Rikki, Piper, you should make friends with whoever you want to, I was just thinking about something else, sorry to scare you."

Piper tackled her sister into a hug and started to cry while Lilly wrapped her in a warm embrace.

Sorry about the long wait and the short update, I have started to get busier, but I will try to do better at updating.
