Harry Potter didn't want to admit that he was worried, as he stood on Platform Nine and Three Quarters, seeing his daughter, Lily, off to her first year of school. As much as he disliked the feeling inside him, it remained. It was a sort of feeling that told him something was going to go wrong. He only comforted himself with the fact that he was going to be there as well.
Harry had been hired as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He was obviously the best in the field, since he was the only wizard to ever survive the Avada Kadevra Curse. He was also a professional auror, although he was only at duty when called upon.
"Dad, you don't have at act so nervous." Lily said, uncomfortable with the fact that her father was acting so strange. That never was a good sign, especially since he had some sort of special power to predict things, terrible things.
"I'm not nervous." Harry covered up. "I'm just so proud of you."
"For turning eleven?" Lily joked. "Dad, it's not like I'm doing anything you've never done before." Lily then felt a throb in her heart. She never would be able to do anything her father had never done before. She'd always be a shadow, not even coming close to matching up with what he'd done his whole life.
"Well, onto the train." Harry rushed. "Don't want to be late for your first year at Hogwarts!"
Lily stepped onto the train, waved goodbye and disappeared down the train track.
Harry sighed, as he snapped his fingers and apparated into Hogsmeade, then walking from there, into Hogwarts.
Lily was a moment late, and was searching for an empty compartment when she saw one that contained only one person, a girl her year. "Um- could I sit here with you?"
"If you wish to do so." The girl replied. She had long, straight, slicked back hair, with vibrant blue eyes. She looked very serious, and was already wearing her Hogwarts robes.
Lily smiled and took a seat next to her. "I'm Lily Potter." Yes, Harry chose that name on purpose.
The girl looked startled for a moment, but then smirked. "Alicia Malfoy. Pleasure."
"Yeah. Um, so do you play Quidditch?" Lily asked, trying to make conversation.
"Only boys play Quidditch." Alicia replied stiffly.
"Oh, well I play Quidditch." Lily answered. "Seeker."
"Do you?" Alicia asked, with lack of interest in her voice.
"Yeah, um, so what are your hobbies?" Lily continued. Alicia wasn't avoiding eye contact, she just wasn't looking at Lily in the eyes, and she appeared to have done that her entire life. "I read."
"Oh, so do I!"
"A lot." "Yeah! I do too!" Lily smiled broadly. Finally, someone with similar interests! "What kind of books?" she asked. "Hogwarts a History, things like that. I know all the way up to fourth year spell books. What about you? What do you read?" Alicia had an arrogant way about her, however. "Hogwarts a History, up to second year spellbooks, and regular books, like 'the owl and the-'" "Regular books?" Alicia smirked. "They bring you no knowledge."
The compartment door suddenly slid open and a prefect strode in.
"Hey Tom." Lily greeted. "You look quite handsome in your Hogwarts robes and prefects badge." She joked.
Tom turned a deep red before grinning again. "Yeah, thought so myself." He replied. "Who's this?"
"Oh, this is-"
Alicia interrupted. "Alicia Malfoy. And I never shake hands with a Black."
Tom scowled. "I wasn't asking you to shake hands because I never shake hands with a Malfoy. Blood relative or not. Well, just wanted to see you Lil, before you get sorted! Gryffindor awaits!"
"Gryffindor!"
"Hmph!" Alicia sniffed.
"Oh now what?" Tom snarled.
"Slytherin is the house that I wish to belong in."
"Well, woopdeedo for you!" Tom grinned before disappearing back into the prefects part of the train. Yes, Tom was Sirius Black's son. I will explain how he survived the veil in a little while. Don't worry.
The train pulled into the station a moment later, and Lily was feeling that sitting with Alicia Malfoy was a bad start to her years at Hogwarts. They piled out and followed a rather old, grubby looking man toward a lake, and a group of boats.
Lily of course ended up in a boat with Alicia and they were silent as they neared the castle. She could hear Alicia muttering something and comforting herself by saying she was a pure blood and that all pure bloods that came from such a well known family got into Slytherin.
They all piled into the castle and were met by a man. He sighed and said, (to be what sounded to be his first or second time making this speech) "Welcome to Hogwarts First Years."
Yes, yes, hurry up Sirius! Lily thought. Not only was she hungry, but she was eager to place the sorting hat on her head.
They filed in quietly after the man had spoken and made their way through the ornately decorated halls. It was incredible to even Lily, who had grown up with wizards her whole life. She huddled in a bunch until the first name was called.
"Finnigan, Veronica!" "Gryffinder!"
"Longbottom, Jared!" "Hufflepuff!"
"Krum, Viktor Jr.!" "Ravenclaw!"
Many other names were called to, but the hall went silent when the next name was called. "Potter, Lillian!"
The entire hall was hushed for her, gaping breath, fidgeting in their seats. They were attending Hogwarts when a Potter was? What horrible events would bestow them next? Would the dark lord continue reign? Appear once more?
The Sorting Hat mused in Lily's ear, "Knowledge, knowledge, but what I see the most is a certain quality you have, a quality that will help you later on. GRYFFINDER!"
Lily sighed, feeling relieved. She glanced up at the staff table, and noticed, for the first time, her father, smiling proudly at her.
She smiled back at him before taking a seat at the Gryffinder table next to Tom.
Tom grinned and hugged her. The two were practically cousins. Tom's father, was Lily's father's godfather, so the two had grown up together.
"Malfoy, Alicia!"
"Isn't that the snob that was in the train car with you?" Tom asked, shaking his long dark hair out of his hazel eyes.
"Alicia Malfoy." The sorting hat stated. "You are a Malfoy, but you are making it very difficult on me, extremely difficult. I'm putting you in GRYFFINDOR!"
Alicia's face fell. Gryffindor!? She didn't belong in Gryffindor! "Wait, there must be some sort of mistake! I don't belong there!"
"There is no mistake dear." The sorting hat replied. "Trust me. You may not see it now, but it is not a mistake."
The ghost lifted it off of her head and Alicia's eyes filled with tears. She was the first Malfoy to not get into Gryffindor. What would her family say? She took a seat next to Lily and began to sob into her hands.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked. "Are you alright?"
"I'm supposed to be in Slytherin!" she wailed.
"Slytherin's boring anyway." Tom snapped. "My grandparents were pressuring my dad into Slytherin, but he wasn't stupid enough to go there. I highly doubt it, but maybe that's what the Sorting hat thought of you. Or maybe-"
"Shove off Tom." Lily snapped. "Of course that's what the Sorting Hat thought of her. She was too kind and intelligent to land with-" she gestured to the green and silver table. "-that lot."
"Thanks." Alicia sniffed and smiled for the first time. "I guess."
Viktor Krum Jr. took a seat next to Alicia. "Gryffinder! Wow! Same house as me mum!"
"What about your dad?" Tom asked.
"Went to Durmstrang."
Tom let out a harsh laugh. "Durmstrang?"
"Shut up." Viktor snarled.
"I'm in my dad's house." Tom said proudly.
"What about your mum?"
"Muggle." Tom replied.
Alicia shuddered. She was in a house with mudbloods!
An old Mcgonagal said feebly from her chair, "For ALL of you, the rules are the forbidden forest is completely off limits, no students are allowed out of their houses past 9:00, and the magic performed in the halls is very limited." She was now headmaster, as Dumbledore had grown much too old and much too tired for the job. Dumbledore still remained at Hogwarts, however, for his wisdom was much needed. "I would like to introduce our newest addition to our staff, your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Harry Potter."
It was hushed; the entire hall was staring at Harry. Harry brushed his messy black hair out of his eyes and smiled brightly, "Thank you Headmistress Mcgonagal."
"Now," Mcgonagal continued. "Let the feast begin!" Tables were lit up with different courses of food and everyone ate pleasantly, except for Alicia. Alicia barely touched her food.
The night soon ended, and everyone followed their prefects (the Gryffinders followed Tom and another boy named Dennis Regal.) Tom cleared his throat. "The password is Ticklish Peppermints. Got that everyone? The password is Ticklish Peppermints!"
The portrait yawned and swung open and everyone crawled through. Lily was happy to find that she had been given a bed by a window, and that she was sharing a dorm room with Alicia, Veronica Finnigan, another girl named Kelsey Lemmings and another girl named Trixie Gray.
