And the seven of them begun their Hogwarts Education. And even though they made no effort trying to impress boys, they made plenty of friends. They came particularly close to some of the elder Gryffindor boys (the ones in their one year preferring each other as company, or perhaps someone of the other houses). One of them came as a shock to Lily.
On their first day of school they were slowly making their way down to the great hall when they hear a unbelieving voice behind them.
"Lily?" She whipped around, immediately recognising the voice, and threw herself into the arms of her 18 months older cousin.
"Xander!" She held her arms tightly locked around the neck of the tall redheaded, green eyed boy, who looked so similar to her that they could have been brother and sister, for a second before letting go. She looked at him with wonder in his eyes.
"You're a wizard?" She asked as the same time he asked "You're a witch?" They grinned unnerving, identical grins before Lily introduced him to her friends, and he introduced her to his friends. And soon the seven first year girl found themselves in the comforting midst of the older pupils who knew everything there was to know about everything vaguely concerned to magic and Hogwarts.
