Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter and all the characters belong to
JK Rowling and I hope she doesn't mind I borrow them. I would also like to
say that the whole Prince of Griffindor thing belongs to the author of the
Gilded Lily, which I myself enjoy. I would like to say that I only
borrowed the title (Prince of Griffindor) and will not be anything like the
Gilded Lily.
A Life in a Moment
Chapter 3: The Journey Begins
I was a wreck the next morning it was my first time staying away from home without my parents for more than two days. Let me just tell you an entire is school year is a lot more than two days. I was running around all morning but finally I got my trunk and Tundra in the car. Petunia was also taking the train to her boarding school today. This kind of stunk because I was going to be stuck in the backseat with her and Tundra and she and Tundra didn't really get along. It was going to be a long ride.
"Don't worry angel your going to be fine and you are going to write us all the time and tell us what a great time your having." My dad smiled at me in the rearview mirror.
"We're even seeing you off onto your trail so you have nothing to worry about." Mum was also trying to make me feel better.
"Ah what about me. You always see me off. It's a tradition and know your gonna break it." She was very upset. (Traditions are very important in my family we take them very seriously).
"Petunia darling day going not gonna and Lils is a first year your in your third year. You're a pro at getting on the train and are used to being away at school. This is a first for Lily. She won't be used to it." Replied my dad.
"So she can fen for herself."
"Petunia that's not fair. We were there for you in your first year know its Lily's turn. What if she doesn't know what train to get on?"
"Its really not that hard to get on a train she would have to be stupid to get on the wrong one."
"Sweetheart, are you forgetting your first year?"
"Humph. Your still breaking a Tradition."
"Don't worry mum, dad I can do it on my own." I replied I was kind of glum about it but in truth I couldn't stand have Petunia truly hate me. I mean sure I act like I can't stand her but deep down I really love her even though I would never ever admit it.
"Are you sure angel?"
"Yeah I'm sure." I looked down at this.
"Alright well that's really nice of you sweetie."
So had the station I hugged my parents and told them I loved them, my dad loaded Tundra and his cage on a cart with my truck I turned around waved and pushed my way through the crowd.
Ten minutes later there was twenty minutes until the express left. I was staring at the entrance. It was a wall between platform 9 and ten. It was the entrance to my platform 9and ¾. I knew I had to gently lean on the wall and I would be magically on the platform (I had read about it in Hogwarts, a History) but I was petrified I was so scared it wouldn't work and I would be stuck in King's Cross Station forever. I almost panicked. Okay I was panicking but I did it anyway. I pushed my cart and began to run and closed my eyes before I hit the wall. I opened them a minute later and I caught myself this time from staring at wonder. The Hogwarts express stood proudly before me steam rising slowly from the stack. I made my way down till I found a compartment where I could load my trunk. This is were I faced more problems. I can't lift my trunk.
"Do you need some help with that?" Asked a voice from behind me.
I whirled around almost dropping my trunk, which I had started to lift when she came around and helped me steady it.
"Yeah, Its kind of heavy for me. You don't mind?" I smiled shyly.
"Of course not my names Arabella Figg." Together we hoisted it up and into the train and we scrambled up in after it wiping sweat from our foreheads. We plopped down on the seats.
"Thanks, my names Lily, Lily Evans."
"Its nice to meet you Lily. Do you mind helping me with my trunk?"
"Of course not!" We laughed at this. We had become friends through a mutual problem. Soon both trunks were loaded and the whistle blew and we took out seats. We were the only two in the compartment not that we minded. We like each other's company. We talked about a lot of stuff. Which house we will be in, about growing up in a pureblooded or wizarding family like Arabella compared to a muggle one like me. After an hour or so we were even calling each other Bella and Lils. I had made a friend. We had several visitors in our compartment during the ride. Vanessa Fawcett and Amanda Bones stopped by they were acquainted with Bella and were really nice.
By now we had already left London and were crossing the countryside. I smiled and I enjoyed the rest of the trip or at least until I got up to go to the bathroom. On the way to the bathroom a boy with messy hair stopped me asking me if I wanted to try a jellybean. Being that all kids like them of course I tried one only to find out I was eating vomit. I spat it out as soon as I tasted it and landed on his shirt.
"Ewe, that was so disgusting what's your problem?"
"Me the problem you're the one who regurgitated your food all over me!"
"Well if you hadn't tricked me into eating a nasty whatever I wouldn't have, so serves you right." I then turned around abruptly and banged my way into the bathroom. When I looked into the mirror my hair was now a putrid orange color. I screamed and stormed out of there only to find that jerk bowling over in laughter with his slimy little git.
"You you… Put it back." I walked up to him fuming.
"Put what back you look the same to me." He said between fits of laughter. I slapped him and that sure wiped that smile of his face. The one thing that got me most was my hair. Petunia had made fun of me constantly calling me Red, and lava head, and carrot.
He put his hand to his face. I am sure it was stinging and looked at me with utmost loathing. His friend was certainly not laughing know but staring at me in wonder. I guess the idiot has never been slapped before.
"Ha ha ha. The Prince himself just got slapped by a girl." Someone sure found this funny and the extremely blond boy seemed to be enjoying it thoroughly. "What's you name I have got to shake your hand." I looked at him unsure.
"Lily Evans." The hand he held out was immediately withdrawn.
"A mudblood I should have known. She probably didn't even know she was slapping a prince. Better go wash your face Potter. I must admit it is kind of fitting."
"He's a Prince?" I squeezed in to the conversation.
"Buzz of Malfoy and I don't want to hear you say that word again." Potter's voice was dangerously low. I could not believe he was defending me. I had not noticed Malfoy's friend with greasy hair but he seemed to be looking at me shyly. Malfoy was about to open his mouth again when Arabella showed up. She slapped him.
"Don't you ever call Lily that again you hear me you stupid little git." After that Malfoy and the shy boy next to him stormed off but not before the boy with slimy hair smiled at me.
"Hey I'm Sirius Black I must admit you've got guts I never seen anyone do that before." He said shaking my hand while he pointed at Potter. "And in case you haven't noticed this is my friend James."
"Hi nice to meet you." I was kind of bewildered and I am sure I sounded that way too. "I am sorry I didn't know you were a pri…"
"Shut up Evans. Were not friends and don't call me that. Just keep out of my way." He turned to Sirius and said. "When you are done back stabbing me please feel free to come join me." He said and walked away. Sirius turned to me and said, " Got to go thanks for the show," and he too started to stalk off but Arabella stopped him.
"James what is your problem. First of all you give someone you don't know a trick jellybean then turn her hair orange and you wonder she slapped you? Next time try explaining that it was just a practical joke."
"What suddenly you're defending her? I thought we were friends?"
"We are but your acting like a baby!" With that he really did storm off. Sirius seemed to just want to stay out of this one. He whispered to me…
"Yeah its best to let them argue this one. Bella is not one to mess with especially if you mess with her friends."
Sirius excused himself and Arabella changed my hair back.
"You didn't have to get in a fight with him. I feel bad coming between you two. It seemed like you were friends…"
"Listen James will come to his senses its just he has never been slapped because no one has had the nerve and when they do he charms them out of it."
"Oh…"
"And me and you are friends so don't worry about it. Maybe you'll stand up for me one day."
"Of course I would. Is he really a prince?" At this she burst out laughing.
"Yeah he's the Prince of Griffindor. But don't worry your not going to get in trouble." Her smiled doubled at this.
"You know I really was worried about that. So lets go find the snack witch. Fighting with Potter really does take up a lot of energy." I returned her smile.
Before we knew it we were pulling into Hogsmeade station and a voice came over the loud speaker instructing us to leave our luggage on the train. Dressed in our new robes, black hats on our heads, and cloaks on our shoulders with their sliver clasps fastened we exited the train. It was already dark and a booming voice could be heard over the crowd.
"First years this way, First years this way!" Bella and me turned around and looked up. Looming over the crowd was the tallest man I had ever seen. He was huge.
"Well that's us." Bella looked at me grimly. He was kind of intimidating but we followed anyway. Around the bend boats were lined up and other first years were climbing in. Bella hoped into the next open one and I jumped in after her. To my disgust Potter and Sirius climbed in after us. Well know I have to apologize. I gritted my teeth. I didn't think he deserved an apology but he is royalty.
"Look James I'm sorry…"
"Don't worry about it." He smiled. But something was going on. There was no way I was believing him. I turned around and looked at Bella she raised her eyebrows.
Halfway their. The boat rocked next thing I knew I was flying over the edge. I did the only thing I could I grabbed James but he wasn't expecting that and he came over with me. We both came up sputtering. Sirius was hysterical and Bella's mouth was open.
"What do you think your doing! You pulled me out of the boat!"
"I'm sorry I lost my balance… No I'm not sorry you and your little rotten nosed friend rocked the boat, which caused me to fall out. Serves you right!" Know I was steaming. From here on him I will never apologize to him again he deserves everything he gets.
"Me rotten nosed." Sirius was now clutching his heart in mock pain and Arabella smacked him upside the head. "Oww!"
"Shut up!" Screamed Sirius and me. "Don't you yell at him."
"Don't you tell me what to do." The next thing we knew the big man had hauled me out of the water and a giant tentacle did James and plopped us down in the boat. Now I was freezing.
"Um thanks?"
"Don't mention it. Here take my cloak." [This is the author speaking. I can't do Hagrid's accent so he is just gonna talk like everything else] He wrapped a giant mole skin cloak around the two of us smashing us together. It was the worst thing he could do. "Now try to stay in the boats." With that his boat pulled up ahead and James and me glared at each other and turned our backs to each other. Sirius and Bella were giggling.
"Shut up!" James and me screamed together. This was the start of a very long second half of a boat ride.
Eventually we reached the shore Sirius and Bella were barely containing their laughter. When we got up we were still wrapped in the same cloak and it was so cold neither of us wanted to give it up. We wound up struggling and fighting for it the entire way up to the castle. Where we then returned it to Hagrid. That's where we met Professor McGonall.
"Good Lord, what happened to these to. James Potter why are you soaked?"
"I um fell in the lake." He mumbled looking down.
"I guess the same for you too? Miss…"
"Evans, Lily yeah it was a bit of an accident." Potter was almost gaping at me but he covered it up quickly.
"Well, I guess you should try to smarten yourself up for the sorting. Wait here, and in a few moments when we are ready for you I shall escort you into the great hall where you will sit on the stool and try on the sorting hat which will sort you into the houses accordingly." With that she turned on her heel and walked into the great hall.
"Accident?" He looked at me funny.
"What you expect I pulled you in after me although that really was an accident!" I was practically yelling at him.
"Hey cool it you two. You're making a ruckus!" [fun word hehe] Replied Bella.
"Next time don't do me any favors I don't need your help."
"Don't worry Potter that won't be a problem." With that McGonall came for us and took us into the Great Hall. I was behind Bella and Vanessa was behind me. We stared up at the enchanted ceiling it was truly amazing since tonight was a very starry and clear night. Then we turned our attention forward and I could feel my stomach do flip-flops. It's just trying on a stupid hat get a hold of yourself. How hard can it be. But all those eyes watching us! Ahhh!
Then my thoughts were interrupted as the hat sang a song. I applauded in amazement at the end it was great. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Sirius was up first of the few people I knew it took only a few seconds before that hat shouted "GRIFFINDOR!" I was jealous and afraid I didn't think I would make it there. Amanda was next and she too made a griffindor. Than my name was called out.
"Evans, Lily!" Oh boy.
I went up to the stool sat down and slipped on the hat. It fell below my eyes.
"Well well well. You are a tough one I see."
"Oh sorry. I liked your song."
"Why thanks you know I spent the entire year on that I was stuck on the verses…"
"Um I don't mean to interrupt but other kids are waiting to be sorted."
"Oh yes that's right okay lets see. Your very smart you would make a fine ravenclaw but oh no you are to brave and would probably kill them all," the hat said sarcastically, "it had better be GRIFFINDOR!"
"Thanks," I thought before I slid off the hat. I ran happily to the Griffindor table and sat next to Sirius.
"Congratulations!" He smiled he wasn't as bad as James.
"Thanks you too. Ohhh wait its Bella's turn." Before long everyone had been sorted. Bella was sitting beside me I couldn't be happier even though James had also been sorted into Griffindor. I kind of expected that anyway. The other new griffindor 1st years were Vanessa, Clarissa Clearwater, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Caleb Dubliner, Virginia Weslinger, and Nigel Hopper. [I had the sudden urge to make his last name dinglehopper from the little mermaid but I figured he would be harassed continuously for it not like he is real]
Professor Dumbledore than stood up. I thought he looked like a really friendly Grandpa the kind that always has some caramel candy and Bell laughed when I told her.
"Well, congratulations to all the new students, and without further ado… Bon appetite." All the gold platters before us, which I hadn't really noticed, filled up with food. I stuffed my face with everything it was so good. I really liked the pumpkin juice. I even forgot about being cold.
Before long we were all sleepily from eating too much. We had demolished all the dessert trays and the last few students were finishing up.
"Ya know, Bella, triptiphan which is found in Turkey is what causes you to get sleepy." I said while trying to stifle a yawn.
"Thanks know if I am suffering from insomnia and don't have any sleeping potion I eat a turkey. But that's only a worst case scenario."
"Your crazy."
"Me, I'm not the one talking about how turkey makes you sleepy…" She didn't get any farther for she too yawned and before you knew it we had sang the school song and were being guided up to our dormitories by the prefects. The last thing I remembered was mumbling g'night before passing out.
~A week ago I posted my first fic. Decideing that is sucks I rewrote it. I don't mind constructive criticism so feel free to let me know what you think. I know this sounds like the same old story line but I think I can make something of it. Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed~puddles~
