Hi, my name's Lily and I would like to tell you about the weird things that happened during my long and gruesome fifth year. I'll start with the day my owl came with my Hogwarts list….
One morning I awoke to an owl nibbling at my ear.
"YES! Supply lists finally here! Mom, hurry can we go today?" I yelled impatiently as I ran down the stairs, still in my pajamas.
"Lily I'm busy at noon so I'll be there only about an hour. We'll have to hurry." She told me as I rushed back up the stairs to get dressed.
I put on my best pair of robes with a really pretty tank top and skirt under, which showed how tan I had gotten. I hurried down and my mom was already dressed and waiting by the fire place. We took some Floo Powder and the next thing I knew I landed with a thud at the Leaky Cauldron. It was packed with people out to get their Hogwarts stuff.
We slowly made our way down the street to Flourish and Blott's when I spotted some girls from my year. My mom told me to go and say hi, but the thing is I don't really have any friends, because everyone's afraid of me…
I guess at this point I should start way back at the beginning. See, I'm Sirius Black's daughter. Back in the day, fresh out of Hogwarts, my mom came to become really, really close to Sirius. And about two years later I came along. But by then my dad was already locked up in Azkaban and none of us could do anything about it. Instead my mother changed our names back to her surname.
Dumbledore told us to keep things quiet for me at school it was best that I never told anyone about it. But I did… I told one of my best friends, who I thought I could trust. Now I know that I shouldn't have. She backstabbed me and told half my grade that I was dangerous. At least she wouldn't tell them why.
I never really knew my dad except for the few times I saw his picture in the papers. Then last year Dumbledore and Dad secretly had me kept at the hideout of the Order of the Phoenix. So I had some bonding time for a week. It wasn't that much.
Now, back to what was happening in the real world. Me and mom were walking down the winding road when out of no where someone stuck their finger in my face and said "Hey! I've seen you before!"
I turned and looked up, and there she was. Hermione Granger, sixth year brains. "What?" I said, trying to look invisible for the few that were staring at the fiasco.
"Ron, Harry!" she yelled, "This is the girl I was talking to you about!"
Slowly Ron and Harry made there way over to us. Still with a befuddled look on their faces. She started slowly, whispering so that no one could hear, "This is the girl I said that I thought I saw up in Sirius's room, when I tried to call him to dinner once. And you thought I was crazy…" Harry and Ron looked me up and down. From my dark hair and dark eyes, down to my hot pink toenails. "Who are you?" they all asked in unison.
I slowly backed away not wanting anyone to think anything of it and started for the restroom. I could hear them following me and so I walked faster and faster. Until I ran heard first into someone.
When I raised my head I was looking into a boy with pale skin and dark grey eyes. Draco Malfoy.
"Well, well, well who do we have here? Another dirty mud blood?" he sneered.
"No!" I yelled, "But you shouldn't go around saying hurtful words like that."
"Yea? And who're you to tell me otherwise? Some filthy blood traitor like the weasel and potter behind you?"
"No, no, no Draco. How can you not tell? This little one's a Black…" his look-alike father said.
GASP! Shit! I had to run. And fast. My mom grabbed my arm and we fled the scene.
Later that nightI was stretched out on our couch at home with my cat ginger purring gently next to me and some comedy show on TV. That's when mom walked in with the news Dumbledore had sent.
"Lily? Sweetheart, Professor Dumbledore said it was alright for you to come out. He said your father's names been cleared." And with that she sat beside me and let me cry to her while eating out of a tub of ice cream.
The next day came with unexpected news from Dumbledore wishing for us to both go to the new headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix at the burrow. So we packed up our trunks and headed out.
Now, if you've never seen the burrow before, then you'll know why I was shocked when I first saw it. The burrow was so old and had rooms popping out of everywhere. It must've been held together with magic, or I would suppose it would've fallen apart. All of a sudden a plump looking woman with wild red hair came jogging towards us with her wand out. "Why, hello there! Dumbledore told me you'd be joining us!"
"Yes, thank you for having us, Mrs. Weasley." I politely answered. We walked in and she showed us to our rooms. I would have to share with Harry and Ron, because Ginny's room was already holding her, Hermione, and the newest edition, Fleur. The second I walked into the room I was bombarded with thousands of questions with how I came to be. And so started my time at the Burrow.
