Chapter 11 – Halloween

Halloween was by far the most interesting thing that had happened since Lily made the house team. The news had flown across the school by morning, and Lily found herself being the subject of many gawks and stares, at first it took her by surprise then by lunch time it was getting a bit much.

The best reaction had come from her brothers, that morning at breakfast;

"Silly Lily, you've been holding out on your brothers." James said plonking down next to her.

Lily smiled, deciding to play a little but with them and said; "Honestly James I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Yes you do, because word around the school says that our baby sister has made the Slytherin house team." Albus said sitting next to her.

"Oh, really? But first years never make the house teams." She said carrying on.

James looked uncertainly at his sister, a little confused. Lily smiled and burst out laughing. "Of course I made the house team; you know how good I am, well try me on a Phoenix."

"A Phoenix, a real Phoenix?" Albus asked awestruck.

"Yeah I lent Scorpius'" Lily said pointing at him.

"Nice." Albus said.

"Anyway, yes I made the house team, I'm going to play seeker." Lily said.

That Saturday was the best.

Lily hurried down to the great hall on Halloween morning. She sat down next to Scorpius and smiled at him.

"You're happy this morning." Scorpius said sleepily.

"It's Halloween, my favorite." Lily said.

"Oh ok." Scorpius said unenthusiastically.

"What were you doing last night that got you this tired?" Lily asked.

"You'll see, or rather hear about it in a couple of seconds." Scorpius said to her and looked towards the door to the great hall. Just then Alberta Skeeter walked through and her hair went a horrid puce colour. She never noticed until she had sat down at the Ravenclaw table and Rose, who was looking a little tired herself, handed her a mirror, she let off a high pitched shriek that made Lily cringe at the sound, she ran out the hall sobbing. The great hall rang with laughter.

Lily sent thumbs up to Rose, who returned it with a wink. Then she turned towards Scorpius, who was smiling broadly.

"You helped her?" Lily asked and Scorpius nodded. "Thank you." She whispered to him.

"You're welcome. That was one complicated charm, took us half the night to finish it." He answered.

"No wonder you guys look swamped. It's a good thing it's Saturday you and Rose look ready to fall asleep on your feet." Lily said.

"Yeah, once I'm finished I'm going back to bed." He said, letting off a huge yawn.

"Good you look as though you need it." Lily said. "Don't forget about tonight's practice." Lily reminded him as he got up and headed for bed.

"Okay. See you later." He said walking away. She saw Rose also get up and head out the hall, Lily was sure that rose was following Scorpius' example and going to bed.

Lily spent the rest of the day in the library looking at spells to open the chamber of secrets, it had become an obsession with her. She had taken a bit of a teasing from Scorpius who had said; that she was becoming almost unbearable Ravenclaw. Lily let it slide, because she knew he was trying to make her smile.
