The Flower Chronicles: Chapter 3: Meet The Marauders
She wandered through Diagon Alley exploring and buying her things and pretending to be perfectly happy. Inside she felt horrible, what had any of those people done for those men (still assuming that they were men) to do that to them. It was such a horrible crime, God bless all of those who stood up to them, even if they risked their lives and ended up losing them, as it was such a possibility. Nothing else very.err.exciting happened that day, unless you count getting her owl. Lily absolutely adored her owl. She was black with light grey eyes and Lily had decided to name her Onyx, as she thought of her owl as preciously as the stone itself. She was so excited about going off to Hogwarts, and was just thinking about it and how it would be, when the phone rang.
Lily picked the phone up off the receiver and held it to her face, "Hello?"
"Hey Lil!" The voice on the other end responded, Lily gasped, it was her best friend Charlotte and Charlotte had no idea that Lily was going to.err.boarding school.
"Oh, Char, I'm sorry, but there is something I forgot to tell you." She trailed off helping Charlotte would help her out here.
Charlotte hardly sounded surprised, "What is it now, Lily?" She breathed heavily, while she spoke.
"Well, you see, Char."
"LILY! Will you just get it bloody over with!"
"Um.okay."
"Alright now, continue"
"I'm going off to a boarding school on September first." Lily said this all in one breath, afraid that if she didn't say it fast enough, she wouldn't be able to do it at all.
"Lily!" Charlotte gasped, "How could you forget to tell me, your BEST FRIEND, that you're just going to be gone ALL YEAR!"
"Um.well." Lily tried to think of something to say, while she stumbled over her own words, as they went pouring out onto the floor.
Her friend sighed, "Well, its no use now.So, where is this school exactly? What's it called? Do you even know?" Charlotte was starting to become frustrated, as Lily chose to remain silent, " I get it, now, Lily. This is all a joke. Why do you do this to me? Where are you really going? What makes it so bad that you have to lie to me?"
Lily opened her mouth to speak but shut it quickly, she definitely couldn't tell Charlotte anything now. Oh God, she felt so horrible, keeping this secret and all.
Still waiting for Lily to respond, Charlotte got fed up with her. Charlotte hung up.
Lily was just thinking about what a terrible friend she had been to do this to Char, but her thoughts were soon interrupted by her sister's shriek piercing through her eardrums. "LILY!!!!!! FREEEEEEEEEEAK! COME OOOOON! IT'S LUUUUNCH!!!" Figuring the smartest thing to do was to obey so she wouldn't have to go deaf at such young of an age, Lily trudged down the stairs, not looking happy at all.
Petunia smiled, "So Freak? You want to change your mind and become normal? That's why you're so upset? Well, guess what, too late. Maybe you would have had a slight chance before, what with a sister like ME and all." Lily snorted in amusement as Petunia glared at her in response, " BUT like I was saying, you are already going to that freak school, I am so glad that I didn't get invited. It would have scarred my mind for life." Petunia stated this all very matter-of-factly whereas Lily just giggled and mumbled under her breath, "Scarred what brain, 'Tunia, dearest."
Kathleen Evans would have insisted that they stopped bickering so, but she saw the smile that it brought to Lily's face and that smile had been coming around less and less lately.
Lily was happy momentarily, until she remembered what had been troubling her.
Kathleen turned smiling to face her daughters but soon she noticed the frown once again inhabiting her youngest daughters beautiful face. She turned her gaze to her oldest to see, for once, Petunia looking truly and honestly innocent. Kathleen decided not to pursue the subject in front of Petunia, only giving the child more and more reason to tease her poor sister.
After they were done with lunch, Lily stayed at the kitchen table like she always did, while Petunia ran upstairs to call her latest boyfriend, Kenneth Patterson and her newest best friend, Emily Collins. Lily was quite surprised though when her mother seated herself beside Lily and stayed with her, just looking at her for a while.
The stares were beginning to make Lily feel nervous so she decided to speak up and ask her mother what was going on.
The silence was beginning to upset Kathleen so she decided to speak up and ask her youngest daughter what was wrong.
"What is it, Mum?" Lily asked at the same time her mother asked, "What's wrong, dear?"
They smiled at each other but both smiles quickly faded as they realized why the simultaneous asking had been done.
Lily knew that her mum didn't need to answer her question being that her asking a question was answer enough. The only thing to do was talk, but she didn't want her mother becoming overly involved, like she tended to do so often. Like I said, she had no choice but tell her, " Well, it's about Hogwarts."
Lily smiled when her mother gasped, "No Mum, I still want to go, of course."
Kathleen sighed in relief and nodded, encouraging Lily to continue. "Well you see, Mum, I never told Charlotte and now she is pretty mad at me. I just now thought of the possibility that I won't make any new friends at this new school, and what if Charlotte is so mad that I come back during summers to not have any here either."
'Poor Lily' Kathleen Evans thought when thinking about the way her daughter must feel, then the thought struck her 'What if Lily is right? Oh, my poor baby!' but on the outside she smiled reassuringly and told Lily that she would of course have friends, she had plenty of friends here didn't she? Not only was Kathleen trying to make her daughter feel better but herself as well.
Due to Kathleen's false reassurance they left the table on a happy note, Lily excited and Kathleen worried, waiting for September 1st.
The much-awaited morning finally arrived. Lily didn't want to get up, but she happened to glance at the calendar accidentally and caught a glimpse of the date. September 1st. This was going to be a beautiful day. Or so she thought.
It was Petunia's first day of school as well and so she gladly left for school before Lily, glad that she didn't have to escort Lily to the train station. Lily was glad about it as well. Sadly, her father had a very important business meeting that morning and there was no chance that he could have missed it. Now that, on the other hand, Lily wasn't very glad about.
So being that just her mother was taking her, there was plenty of room for all of Lily's school supplies inside of the car. On the way to Kings Cross, the two just sat in silence, both unsure of what to say. Once at the station the mother and daughter both burst into silent tears. Kathleen Evans led her tearing daughter over to platforms 9 and 10, eyes rimmed with tears. Sniffling, Kathleen Evans asked her daughter what her ticket said. In confusion Lily stated that her platform was platform 9 and 3/4.
Lily's mother, never embarrassed to ask for help asked both a few guards and a ticket salesman where the mysterious platform was. The men simply laughed at her and walked away. The two glumly made their way back to platforms 9 and 10 to investigate the scene a bit better. They looked around the corner. No platform 9 and 3/4. They looked behind them. No platform 9 and 3/4. Lily suddenly had the strangest idea come to her head. She went to reach out to feel the barrier and search for any hidden button or handle or something, when her hand went straight through. She turned to face her mother and they both gasped. Lily pulled her arm back and her hand reappeared out of the brick barrier. She turned to her mother and Kathleen Evans just nodded. They seemed to have a language of their own, without using words. They both knew what Lily had to do. She had to walk through the barrier.
Lily ran towards the barrier waving nervously to her mother, as she prepared herself to crash, cart first, into the brick wall. Amazingly, she didn't, but she did crash into something else.
"Oof. Ow, that kinda hurt---oh well." Lily looked up from the ground to a girl around eleven who was sitting opposite from her, also on the ground, rubbing her head.
Lily couldn't help but laugh. They both happened to be in quite an uncomfortable position. Their school things were fallen all over them, and they were having some trouble unburying themselves from this mess.
The girl looked up from her trunk that she had been trying to pull off of herself. For a slight moment, Lily was afraid that this girl, whoever she was, was going to be upset at her for laughing, oh, that wouldn't be so pleasant. Lily was relieved when the girl, like Lily, laughed. Next thing they knew they were in a hysterical laughing fit. After a while Lily and the other girl began to calm down.
Lily knew that they would get along, and didn't hesitate to introduce her self. "Hi, I'm Lily. Lily Evans."
The girl smiled, "Oh my gosh! I'm SO sorry, oh my gosh, oh my goodness, oh my, oh me," Lily laughed, "I am so sorry I didn't introduce myself, I am such an idiot! Anyways, I am Rhiannon. Rhiannon Sinistra. But you can call me Rhia, or for even more shorterness - Rhi." Lily smiled back at her. The year couldn't be that bad with a friend like Rhia.
They sat in silence for a moment pulling all of their things off of themselves. When they were finally uncovered from the heap of magical supplies, Lily spoke, "So we should probably go find a compartment before this train leaves without us, shouldn't we?" The girls smiled while loading their things onto their carts, again. Once everything was loaded on, they made their way towards the train.
Lily and Rhiannon found an empty compartment at the back of the train, and pulled their trunks inside. Lily, relived to free her arms of her burden, carelessly flopped down on the seat by the window, as Rhia plopped down opposite of her. They sat there talking for a while, more like Rhi explaining the magical world to Lily, as Rhi's mom was a veela and her dad a wizard. It was when Rhiannon began to explain to Lily what a veela was that Lily noticed her friend's striking features for the very first time. She had long, straight, silky, black hair, which fell down to right above her elbows, in long layers framing her face. She was of a medium tan complexion, which set off her striking violet eyes. Lily was amazed, and even though she had never seen a full veela, one had now been explained to her, and she could see Rhiannon's resemblance to the picture in Lily's mind. Lily learned many other things and Rhia was just explaining the rules and properties of Quidditch when the door slid open letting four boys, also around their age, into the compartment.
Rhia laughed as her face lit up with excitement and joy. A tanned boy with black hair and steel grey eyes made his way over to Rhia, and dropped to one knee.
"Oh Sirius, please don't tell me that you plan to propose to me again, I am really not in the mood today." She waved her left hand carelessly as he took her right hand in the two of his. She laughed again. "Sirius, please, this is ever so annoying."
Lily stayed silent as she watched the scene between the two with interest.
Sirius mocked hurt, "I'm offended, my dear Rhiannon, truly, deeply, completely offended." Sirius stood up, and smiled, "I just wanted to tell you that you look great today, Rhi."
He turned to Lily, obviously not noticing her before, or something of the sort, "And who may I ask, is this lovely lady?" He smiled charmingly, amazing for an eleven year old don't you think?
Once again, for about the millionth time, Rhia laughed, "Sirius, shut up, stop trying to charm Lily---she's too smart for that--- and introduce everyone to her." Then Rhia turned to Lily, "And don't you let him fool you." She told me, still slightly giggling.
Sirius looked at her, "Oh yes, don't let me fool you. And you would know all about that now, wouldn't you Rhi?" He seemed to be joking but when Rhia blushed it was very clear that there was more to it than her casual attitude.
Either way, Sirius finally turned to his friends who were all huddled in a group, looking highly suspicious, as if they were plotting.something.
"May I introduce --- THE MARAUDERS!" He opened his arms out wide in introduction. Rhiannon gave an unladylike snort in amusement.
Sirius frowned, "What's wrong Rhi?"
She tried to stifle her laughter long enough to speak, and amazingly enough, she managed, "Oh well, Sirius, dear, is this the name of the week or what?"
Sirius glared jokingly at her, "NO, RHIANNON, this is NOT the name of the WEEK or however you say it, this is our official name, and now to introduce the individual members," pointing to himself, he began "I am Sirius Black, and the world shall forever love my pranks" he turned to a boy with messy black hair and deep blue eyes, "THIS, is my best friend in the entire world, James Potter, and the world shall forever love his appearance."
Once again Rhia snorted. This time Sirius chose to ignore her.
Next he pointed to a tired boy with light brown hair and hazel eyes, "This is Remus Lupin, forever remembered for his charm and, ugh, personality."
Lily couldn't help but giggle a bit.
Sirius rested his elbow on the final boy's shoulder, who was a bit chubby and slightly shorter than the rest of them, with blonde hair and light blue eyes, "This, my jolly men, (glare from Rhia)--err, and women, ("Much better") is Peter Pettigrew, who the world shall forever remember him for his---err--- wonderful magical talent."
Lily smiled; it was nice of Sirius to do that for his friend. She highly doubted that Peter had wonderful magical talent.
James spoke for the first time, "RHIANNON SINISTRA! Will you PLEASE, FINALLY introduce you to your lovely friend, REALLY!"
Rhi smiled, "Of course, I will. Ladies and gentlemen, ahem, I mean boys. May I introduce you to Lily Evans." She smiled, but soon paused, her smile fading, "And don't a single one of you take advantage of her." Their eyes widened and the four boys grinned, "Not like that you gits!" They grinned even more now, as Lily was laughing hysterically on the inside, "Actually, don't do that either."
Rhiannon twitched with silent laughter as the boys mocked sadness and hurt. Remus frowned at Rhia, "Aw, Rhi, I'm hurt. We all are. What makes you think we would do a thing like that?"
This time both girls snorted and James sighed, "Oh no, boys,("I said they were boys" Rhia wanted to make it cleat that they weren't gentlemen.)looks like Lily here has caught on to Rhia here's repetitive snorting, what ever shall we do?"
All four boys shook their heads, looking at the floor. Suddenly, all at one time the four boys raised their heads and began chattering endlessly.
After talking, eating candy, and changing into their robes, they arrived. They got out of the train after being in there for hours and stepped out into the rain. This was Hogwarts.
