Once they entered their private cart the train started to take off. Lilly was looking around at the couches and food stations and then she gasped when four are men appeared out of nowhere. It was Jenson, Dilki, Marlou, and Breker.
"Ah a little late but you're here none the less." King Dalon said shaking hands with the four men."
"What is this about?" Lilly asked confused.
"Well I've talked to Dumbledore and he has agreed to let Jenson, Dilki, Marlou and Breker stay at Hogwarts with you."
"What? Why?"
"Because you'll need protection. They won't be with you all the time just when you need them."
"Well I don't need them!"
"Lilly! This is not up for discussion!"
"I'm going for a walk!"
"Lilly don't you dare walk out that door!"
"Try and stop me!" Lilly yelled as she bolted for the door and ran out slamming it behind her.
Lilly bolted down the passageway. There were so many doors with children talking and laughing. She kept on running until she tripped on something in the hallway and fell right out side a compartment full of people.
"Hey are you alright?" Came a familiar voice.
There was a hand right in front of her face to help her up. Lilly looked up to see Ron and his red hair bending over her. She took his hand and let herself be helped to her feet.
"Yes I'm alright. Thank you though." Lilly said blushing.
"Oh your hat. Here you go." Ron said bending down and handing her, her hat.
"Oh thank you very much."
"Do I know you?" Ron asked.
"Of course you do Ron. It's the girl from the Quidditch game." Hermione said coming to the door with Harry right behind her.
"What?" Ron and Harry said together.
"Hello Lilly." Hermione said bowing, "Or should I say Princess Lilly."
"WHAT?" Ron and Harry yelled in shock.
"Shh!! Please be quiet." Lilly said pushing them back into the cart.
"You're a Princess?" Ron asked dumbfound
"A Princess? Where?" asked three voices.
Lilly looked up to see three boys who she didn't know.
"I'm Princess Lilly Star." Lilly said realizing there wasn't any point in hiding it from people, "Who are you?"
All of sudden Harry, Ron, and the three other boys bowed low in front of her.
"Haha please don't do that! I don't like it when people treat me so formally! The reason I'm coming to Hogwarts is so I can be treated like a normal person! So please bow bowing."
"I'm Neville Longbottom." Said a chubby nervous looking boy.
"I'm Dean Thomas." Said one of the other boys.
"And I'm Seamus Finnigan." Said the last boy.
"Hi Neville, Dean, and Seamus. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm sorry I dropped in on you guys literally. What were you talking about?"
"Oh the Quidditch World Cup." Said Seamus.
"Yah my Gran didn't want to go," Neville said, "She wouldn't buy the tickets. But listening to these guys it sounds amazing!"
"Oh it was!! Krum played spectacular!" Lilly said.
"You went?" Seamus, Dean, and Neville said together.
"Yah Top Box! It was wonderful!"
"So were we!" Ron said, "It really was spectacular."
"That will be the first and last time you'll ever be in the Top Box, Weasley." Came Malfoy's voice from the doorway.
"And that will the first and last time you will be seen as a respectful wizard Malfoy." Lilly snapped right back, "Once I'm through with you and you disgraceful family you'll never be able to show your face in the wizarding community again. Now then if you don't mind Malfoy get out of my way I need to return to my carriage. Nice to meet you all!" Lilly said as she pushed her way passed Malfoy into the hallway.
Malfoy followed her and said, "Oh haha! Seems like some little princess has her panties in a bunch from the last time we met!" The two large boys on either side of him started to laugh pathetically, with their shoulders jerking up and down and big toothy grins.
Lilly felt her temper rising and a blush occurring to appear on her face. She turned around to face Malfoy and expecting to see the hallway full of people but it was completely empty besides Malfoy. Even his two seemed to have disappeared. Malfoy was walking steadily towards her.
"Don't think for one moment that you had any affect on my panties what so ever! The only affect you had on my was my upchuck reflex!" Lilly said backing away from Malfoy as he walked closer and closer to her.
"Come on Princess. You know you fell for me that night." Malfoy was now only inches away.
"How dare you." Lilly said. She raised her hand and with all her force she slapped him. His cheek instantly became red with a handprint.
Lilly turned swiftly on one heel and left Malfoy standing in her wake. Her long curly brown hair flowing and twirling behind her.
She stormed into the private cart slamming the door behind her.
"How dare he treat me like I'm nothing but a little commoner!" Lilly said pacing back and forth.
"Who is treating you so badly?" King Dalon said calmly.
"Draco Malfoy! He talks down to me and treats me like an object!!"
"Lilly I think you're confused the Malfoys are a very respectful family, their son would never do such a thing."
"A RESPECTFUL family! YAH RIGHT!! That night of the dark mark he called me a mud-blood!"
"Lilly I think you are thinking of the wrong person."
"NO I'M NOT!!!"
"Lilly just calm down alright. I'll talk to Mr. Malfoy alright?"
Lilly sighed and said, "Fine. I'm calm. And thank you."
"Now then come sit down beside me I have something I want to show you."
"What is it?" Lilly asked as she sat down on a couch beside her father.
"Close your eyes and open your hands."
"Ok..." Lilly closed her eyes and opened her hands. She felt something heavy being placed in them. She opened her eyes to see a small wooden box with a serpent carved on the lid. Lilly slowly ran he fingers over the smooth lid and opened it. Inside on dark crimson red velvet pad sat an exquisite ring. Lilly gasped and picked it up to look at it. It was made of white gold and was shaped like two snakes intertwining themselves with their faces facing each other.
"Its beautiful!!! Where did you get? Why?"
"Well it's a gift from Mrs. Malfoy. It is her wedding ring and she said if you liked it, it is yours."
"Father I'm not marrying him! He is a stuck up, spoiled brat. I refuse! Why can't I marry some one I fall in love with!"
"Lilly I will not discuss this again! Do you understand me?"
"Ehmm" came a cough from the door way, "It's time for Princess Lilly to change into her robes." Jenson said.
Lilly placed the ring back in side the box and thrust it at her father and walked away to change into her uniform. Ten minutes after she was changed the train rolled into the Hogsmeade station. Lilly stepped out into the great darkness as lightning light up the sky and thunder rumbled high above. The rain was coming down in thick heavy sheets and Lilly couldn't see past her nose. She pulled her robes close around her to keep warm. She turned around to face the train and say good-bye to her father.
"I'll see you soon dear." He said, "Try not to make anyone cry alright?"
"Good-bye father." Lilly said emotionless and hugged him quickly before turning and disappearing into the mass of children.
Lilly pushed her way through the mass unsure where she was supposed to be going. All the children were running, screaming and talking to each other as they made their way to carriages. Lilly was trying to fight her way to one when there was a cold hand on her shoulder. Lilly turned around to see a tall pale man with a hook shaped nose looking down at her.
