Fate

Chapter 4

Lily and Jake gasped.

"No way." Lily whispered.

Dumbledore smiled at Lily and Jake,

"Miss Taylor, Mr. Anderson. I would like you to meet Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter."

Lily and James quickly regained their composure and smiled at the trio.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Lily said smiling. Jake nodded in agreement.

"Same to you." Said Hermione said.

"Well," said Dumbledore, smiling at the five teenagers, "I'll leave you five to get acquainted." He said and left with a smile.

They were silent for a moment, all thinking of what to say.

"Well, how about we go to the common room. You two were sorted into Griffindor right?" Harry asked.

Lily and Jake nodded, and they all left for the common room.

Once they reached the common room (after Lily and Jake had told them the password) they all sat down in the chair by the fire.

"So which school did you guys come from? You're obviously not from England." Ron asked, starting up a conversation.

Lily and Jake were silent for a moment, trying to think of how to answer Ron's question.

"We're from Canada." Said Lily. "And our parents home schooled us."

The trio looked at Lily and Jake, confused.

"I didn't know you could be home schooled." Said Harry.

Lily thought quickly, "Well you see we lived nowhere near a Magic School so our parents decided to teach us themselves."

Hermione, Ron and Harry nodded; they had bought the story.

"So you two are brother and sister?" asked Ron.

Lily and Jake laughed.

"No," said Jake with a smile. "But we're pretty close. We've know each other since we were two."

"Cool" said Ron

Soon they began talking about other things, about the school, and just things in general.

After about an hour of talking, Jake, Harry and Ron decided to go outside and play quidditch and Hermione and Lily went upstairs to read.

Hermione was shocked to see the laptop and stereo that Lily had brought.

"How do you run those?" Hermione asked. In all her years she had never known any spell that made muggle objects work.

"Just a simple charm." Said Lily.

"You like charms?" asked Hermione.

Lily smiled and nodded, "It's one of my favorite subjects."

"Mine too." Said Hermione smiling, she had a feeling that she and Lily were going to be great friends.

(With The Boys)

Meanwhile, Jake, Harry and Ron had grabbed their brooms and went out to the quidditch field to play some quidditch. When Ron and Harry saw how good Jake was, they knew they were going to get along just fine.

"So what your favorite quidditch team?" Ron asked.

"The Chudley Cannons, no brainer." Said Jake, not knowing any other quidditch team.

Ron beamed, "You and me are going to be great friends." Said Ron with a laugh, which Jake and Harry soon joined in.

Just before lunch they all met up in the common room and (after they boys had cleaned up) went down to lunch together.

They rest of the day seemed to go by like lightning and just before they went to bed, they decided to play a couple games before they went to bed.

They started playing exploding snap.

Which was fun; until Lily's eyebrows had nearly been singed off they decided to play a different game.

Lily suggested a little Chess tournament.

Which they all agreed on; but Harry and Hermione knew that Ron would end up winning.

Oh how wrong they were.

Soon it was only Lily and Ron playing.

So far Lily had won two and Ron and won two.

They were tied.

Suddenly Harry had an idea.

"Okay about this." He began, "You have one more game and whoever wins is champion.

Jake shook his head and smiled.

'This is going to be interesting.' He thought as he saw the familiar glint in Lily's eyes that she always had when in a competition.

She was very competitive.

But so was Ron.

The game began.

Ron put out one of his pawns.

Lily did the same.

And so it went.

(45 minutes later)

"So I say 5 galleons that Lily wins."

"No way! Ron has never lost a game. I bet 5 galleons that Ron will win."

"Lily will win"

"No Ron will win."

"Lily."

"Ron"

"Lily."

"Ron."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

They game had been going on for 45 minutes and Jake and Harry were

"Would you two stop it! Honestly, you are both acting like a bunch of toddlers."

"So?" Harry and Jake said in unison.

Hermione just shook her head and turned back to her book.

But all their thoughts were interrupted when they heard Lily let out a whoop of joy.

"Yes! I beat you! Ha ha! Yes! Never lost a game eh? Well now you have."

Lily began to skip around the room giggling like a school girl.

Harry, Ron and Hermione turned to Jake for some sort of explanation for Lily's behavior.

Jake just smiled and shook his head.

"She gets really hyper after she wins a game."

The trio nodded, but still looked a little shocked from Lily's sudden bust of energy.

Jake just smiled at them and went and sat down on the love seat closest to the fire.

Harry, Hermione and Ron sat in the arms chairs next to him.

Lily eventually ran out of energy and flopped down next to Jake, out of breath but happy.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Lily asked, breaking the silence.

No one could think of anything.

And when Hermione let out a large yawn they decided to call it a night and headed up to bed.
