This is part b to the last chapter. So it continues straight afterwards.
Someone requested that I should get a PIC of Dominic, well if you people want I'll draw something and post it on my website. At the moment I only have one PIC for this fic up. Its Tom Riddle, and I think he looks cool. As soon as I post this up I'll work on the PIC. Any other requests? Let me know and I'll see what I can do. ^_^
Disclaimer: I own nothing if I did I would be using my influence on the world to rule over everyone!!!!!

The hat was removed and Lily made her way to the table who was growing louder as she got closer. The noise didn't bother her anymore because she felt a great weight being lifted from her shoulders. Cassandra was beaming at her and patted the seat next to her. Lily smiled back and sat down, facing the Slytherins across the room. She met with both Severus and Dominic's eyes, Dominic smiled at her while Severus gave her a small nod.
She was distracted when she felt her arm grow lighter. She looked down and saw that Nagini was no longer wrapped around her arm. Lily looked around and then under the table and saw that she was slithering towards another student. Lily explained what was going on to Cassandra and ducked under the table. She crawled as Nagini was trying to slither up the students robe.
"Nagini, " whispered Lily, "come back here." The student looked had felt something on their leg and looked down.
It was James Potter.
He looked at Nagini with wide eyes and then looked over at Lily who gave him a sheepish smile.
"Don't worry she wont bite. But your going to have to slide off your chair so that I can get her."
He nodded and did what she said to do and slid next to her careful not to hurt Nagini. Lily then unwrapped Nagini from James' leg and curled her around her arm.
"Bad Nagini don't ever do that again." Nagini looked at Lily and then lowered her head under her sleeve. James was looking at Lily like if she was nuts, but he was smiling.
"I'm sorry she did that I guess she's a bit cranky."
James shook his head, "Don't worry about it, she doesn't know any better."
They smiled at each other but stopped when Sirius poked his head under the Table.
"If you two are done flirting, the headmaster is about to make his speech."
They blushed and James slid back up to his seat. Lily crawled back to her seat and slid up next to Cassandra who winked at her.
"Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts, I am the new Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore. I will be replacing Professor Dippet who retired at the end of last year. Since I am now Headmaster, that means you will head a new Professor for Transfiguration, let me introduce Professor McGonagal the new Transfiguration teacher and Head of the Griffindor House."
The Griffindor table clapped loudly for their new head of house, while Professor McGonagall stood and bowed slightly in their direction.
"Now before we start the feast, I have a few announcements, first off all the Forbidden Forest, is like it says, forbidden. Also there is a new curfew because of the escalating Death Eater problem, you are not to go outside school doors after sunset. And will be inside your Common rooms at 10 O'clock, unless instructed otherwise by a staff member."
He smiled at all of the students, "Now I will not bore you since I can hear your tummy's rumbling loudly, so let the feast begin!"
The empty plates that were in front of Lily were now filled with food of every type. Soon she pilled her plate and ate while having a conversation with Cassandra. After the food was gone they were dismissed and led by a prefect to their common room. As they passed the Slytherin first years Lily and Cassandra went over to Severus and Dominic.
"Congratulations getting into Griffindor," said Dominic with a smile.
"Well, congratulations to you too. At least we won't be alone because Lily is with me and Severus is with you," said Cassandra.
"You two need to stop hanging around scum, it might rub off on you."
Lily turned around and saw Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter standing behind them. She looked back at Severus who was glaring at Sirius, she also saw that Dominic was whispering to him in Spanish. Severus nodded at him and answered back in Spanish.
(AN: I'm sure that you wont appreciate if you don't know what they are saying so whenever someone is speaking in Spanish instead of quotation marks ~ this will be in its place.)
~Is that the boy you were telling me about during Dinner, the one who was talking bad about you?~
~Yes, he's a damn bastard who needs to know when to keep his mouth shut.~
Sirius narrowed his eyes at them and rubbed his knuckles, "You better not be plotting against me Snape, it will just give me a reason to pound you."
Severus was about to speak when James grabbed Sirius, "Come on Sirius we got to go to our Common Room, you can finish this later."
"He's right the Prefect is already leaving the room." It was the first time that Remus spoke, and he did so in a very tired voice.
Lily went up to Severus, "Meet us here in the morning before breakfast. We have to go."
The girls waved good-bye to Severus and Dominic and followed the four boys after the Prefect.
"I don't know how you two can stand being next to that Slytherin scum," spoke Sirius in a disgusted voice.
Lily grew angry as did Cassandra who spoke up, "He's very nice and polite, which from what I can see is something your not. How can you judge him if you don't even know him?"
"I know that his Father is a Death Eater."
"And how do you know this?" challenged Cassandra staring at Sirius straight in the eye. Sirius looked away after a moment.
"I just do."
Cassandra shook her head, "Until you get proof of this I don't ever want you to talk bad about him. Or else you will have to answer to me. Got it?"
Sirius looked scared and nodded, Cassandra turned around and started walking with Lily. They caught up to the rest of the Griffindors where Lily let out a giggle.
"When you scared him his eyes almost bugged out from his sockets, it was so funny."
Cassandra smiled, "I don't know why he would be scared of me I would be to chicken to actually do anything." They giggled until they noticed that they were stopping. The were standing in front of a painting of a fat lady who wore a pink silk dress and a smile on her face. The Prefect turned around and faced the first years.
"To enter the common room you need a password, unless they are in your house you are not to repeat the password to anyone else. The password will change every couple of weeks, but for now the password is, 'Squiglyspooch.' you just tell the painting the password and you can enter."
She turned back to the painting and said the password and the painting swung open. And they were led in. When Lily went in she had the sudden feeling of home. There was a fire roaring in a stone fireplace, big squishy arm chairs and couches and working tables everywhere. The girls were led to one side and the boys where led to another. The soon reached a door with a sign that read First Years. Lily walked in and saw that Ciaron was sitting on top of her trunk that had been placed at the foot of the bed next to the window, She walked over to him and petted its black feathers. Cassandra had the bed next to Lily's and she collapsed on the mattress.
"I'm so tired, I'm going to bed," she got up and opened the trunk but there was nothing in there. "I guess the house elf's already moved our things."
She went over to the wooden closet next to her bed and opened it reveling her clothes neatly hung and folded. She grabbed a nightgown and went over to the bathroom.
Lily took out the tank from her pocket and removed the spell, after rearranging the tank and putting it on the table next to the window, she unwrapped Nagini and placed her on top of the small tree trunk.
"There you go Nagini, you missed your tank didn't you?" Nagini laid its head and wrapped her body around herself. Lily then went over to her own closet and grabbed her own nightgown. It was a long sleeve dark green and made out of soft cotton. She went over to the bathroom and changed. After she left the bathroom she noticed that everyone had gone to bed.
She was about to do the same but a soft hoot from Ciaron stopped her. After debating with herself she grabbed a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of emerald ink. She sat on a desk and opened the bottle. She dipped the quill and was about start writing when she stopped herself. The quill was a centimeter away from the parchment, Lily bit her lip. She made a scratch on the parchment.
Dear Daddy,
I miss you terribly, I know that I just saw you a few days ago, but I felt a little odd. I miss you so much I wish to be back home, but since I can't, I'll write to you as much as possible. I was sorted into Griffindor, remember how I told you all about the houses here? Well, I was sorted into this one and so far it seems OK.
I have a few new friends and Cassandra, the one I told you about from the day I went to get my supplies. Then there is a boy named Severus Snape, he's very nice and very well brought up, you'd like him, he speaks many languages and he's very smart. He's also a gentlemen. Then there is Dominic Le Fay, he's from El Salvador, and like Severus he's very educated.
I like spending time with them, I feel I can trust them we have a great time together. But they can never replace you. I feel home sick now but as soon as I hear from you I'll be able to feel safe.
Have you been feeling better? I want you to take care of yourself, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got sick again. I have a bad feeling about something so just do what the doctor orders.
How's Petunia, is she doing well at her school, last time she wrote to me she said she wasn't feeling well. Let me know how everything is. I wish I could see you. But as long as everyone is OK I'll feel at ease. Take care of Mother and yourself.
Forever your loving child,
Lily.
She wrapped in a piece of purple ribbon and tied it to Ciaron's leg.
"You remember where my house is right? Give this to Daddy." Ciaron hooted softly and left.
Lily watched as Ciaron grew smaller as he flew away. She then went over to her dresser and took out her bow. After Tom had given it to her Lily had started placing things inside and called it a memory box. Inside were pictures of her family, letters from Petunia, and other things that she liked to keep with her. She took her locket out and hooked it around her neck. She went to her bed and closed the drapes around it. She then snuggled under the covers her hand clutching onto the locket, and fell asleep.
Across the grounds of Hogwarts in the tower that reaches to the dungeons, a boy also sent a letter but the heading was different. It read:
Dear Mistress Belinda.......
~*~
dum dum dum...... (Dramatic reverb)
What ya think? good? Bad? worthy of dumping in the recycle bin?
Oh well this was small since it was the ending to the last chapter. And in case you don't remember Lily doesn't know that her Daddy got worse. I bet some of you are going 'ooooooooooh yeah huh!' Its OK we are not her to judge you but to help each other so that our reading experience can be a wonderful one......... um that sounded odd but oh well. ^_^
Thank you to everyone who reviewed (Last chapter and the one before):QueenOfTheQueer, angel-eyes, MercuryRed, skitzo, Lily Evans Potter, Ariel, green smurf, ~ME~ (aka Spazzie J. Hazzie), Martine, Darkfire75, Evil*Fairy, padfoot & prongs.
