I was standing in Madam Malkin's when I actually had a real conversation with Lily again. I haven't talked to her a real conversation since we were on the train as first years. Now we were fourteen years old, and were about to start our fourth year. Rumor had it, that there would be a new student from Beauxbatons joining us because her parents had moved. This year, Professor Dippet became headmaster, and Dumbledore, as Deputy Headmaster, would take his place as head of Gryfindor and professor of Transfiguration.

Lily had admitted missing our conversations. We had plans to meet by the Prefects toilet at midnight, every Mondays and Fridays, and the first day of each term. I was really happy, and I hoped to ask Lily to be my girlfriend the first day term started. I was to meet Gabriel at Flourish and Blotts, but I bumped into Potter and his friends first.

"What are you so happy about, Malfoy?" Black maliciously asked me. "Nothing." I replied. I was in too much of a good mood to argue with anybody. "Then what is with that nasty grin on your face?" Sirius asked again. "None of your bloody business." I retorted, my anger rising. "Oh come on, lil' Lucius! We'd like to know." "Speak for yourself, Sirius." Lupin said quietly. "Come on, leave him alone. He's not worth the bother." Potter added. He looked at me. "You better stay away from my Lily." "She's not yours." I answered icily. "Just stay away, Malfoy, or else." They all turned around and started to walk away. "Those stinkin Slytherins." Sirius muttered loudly. "All dark wizards, I tell you. He'll be one of them. You'll see." My anger was rising even more. I was ready to run him over with my broom.

First he makes fun of me, then he makes fun of my house. Back then, I didn't think I would become a "dark" wizard. I couldn't even dream of it. My father would have probably killed me before I brought any dark arts materials into the manor. But still that wasn't the point. I barely knew them, or talked to them, and they make fun of me like they had nothing better to do. Especially Black. That is why I hate him the most out of the four. When I heard that he was thrown into Azkaban, I felt like I could dance around the manor all day long!

After a while, I cooled off, and went on happily through out the day. I couldn't wait for school to begin, so I could see my first love again. Soon the week passed, and the train was to leave on a Sunday. I passed by Lily on the Platform, and she smiled a greeting at me. I smiled back and would've walked over and said hullo, but Potter and his friends where there, his arm around her shoulder. Potter gave me an eye and I returned it. He looked away after that.

I soon found Crabbe and Goyle. They muttered some kind of greeting and we got on to the train. We started talking and about a half an hour or so later, we were off. After a while, Narcissa, Lacey, and a bunch of other girls walked in, speaking in rapid French. I assumed the new girl was around. They stopped and introductions began, half in French, half in English. I learned that the new girl was named Marie Âme. Marie was extremely beautiful. She had dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. Her English was pretty good, and when she spoke it was adorable.

"Lucius, may I ask you a question?" "Sure." I said. "You have a brother, am I correct?" "I do. His name is Gabriel." "He looks like you?" "Yes. We look very much alike." "He is handsome, like you." I felt myself blush. I caught Narcissa looking at me, with a small smile on her face. She quickly turned away, and started to talk with Lacey.

The door of our compartment creaked open. Severus and Andrew walked in, and another round of introductions began. Marie took an immediate interest in Andrew, and they talked until we arrived at school. The train stopped and everyone got up except Narcissa. "What's wrong?" I asked. She looked up at me with her glacial blue eyes. "Nothing. Just thinking." she answered softly, with a small smile. I held out my arm. "Come on, we better go, or we'll get a bad carriage." She giggled. I liked it when she giggled, her smile... the way her voice filled the room...

We got into the Great Hall, and Professor Dumbledore had Marie sorted before the new first years. She became a Slytherin, much to Andrew's happiness. We sat in a tight pack, almost like how Potter, Lily and their friends sat. Lily looked my way, and winked, our code for, "Don't Forget!". I smiled back at her. That year, Ravenclaw got a bunch of good ones. I remembered that we gained two air heads, a chubby menacing boy, a bunch of chattery ones, a snotty boy, and a quiet but extremely brilliant girl. It wasn't a real gain for Slytherin, except for that brilliant girl, who'd one day turn a bunch of us death eaters in.

The feast seemed to go on and on, but finally it ended. Three more hours until I got to see Lily, and possibly work up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend. I sat in the common room, until the clock chimed midnight. I quietly went into my room, and took out my invisibility cloak I had bought two years ago with birthday money. I quickly tried snuck out of the dorms. I raced up the cold stone steps up to the Prefects's toilet. And there she was, standing there, radiant with beauty. Her beautiful hair, her magnificent green eyes... my heart still skips a beat every time I remember her this way.

"Lily?" Her smile melted my heart. "Lucius! I thought you would never arrive!" I smiled. "Why wouldn't I?" Good God, I was a nervous wreck. The smile on her face quickly melted away into sadness. "We can't meet here anymore. I'm sorry." She took my hand. "I'm really sorry Lucius. But I do think it's for the best. For the both of us." Lily looked deeply into my eyes, and my soul. I pulled her into a kiss, and she didn't pull away. When we did, she smiled sadly. And it faded. She looked down at the floor, and then, slowly, looked at my face again, studying me. Lily placed a silken hand on my cheek. "I'm really sorry Lucius. I wish you the best..." she trailed off. Tears gathered into her emerald eyes, and she ran away. I looked at her in utter disbelief, and I knew that my friendship with Lily Evens, and whatever little romance we had, was officially over.

And my world came crashing down.
