"I got expelled...the story is confidential, but I'll tell you what I can of it." Lily paused and looked at him before continuing on. "No one in America, or the North American continent for that matter, was willing to take a kid like me into their school. That's when I met Dumbledore. The night everything happened where I was, was the same night you all went to the ministry," she saw all three of them tense up at the mention of the event, but she went on with her story. "It was late, I was protecting a room with three of my friends, they were down the west and east halls, and the north hall that came from the main part of the building straight to the door. My best friend was down that hall, she was killed. Death Eaters attacked five different schools in America. They never made it to the room at my school. I was expelled for what happened, and pretty much banned from the U.S. all together, mostly for my own safety I think.
"But Dumbledore came with an offer I couldn't refuse. I was going to be banished to live my life as a Squib otherwise, even though I passed my O.W.L.'s. The only problem was finding a place for me to stay. My home in PA wasn't an option, because my mom had gone partially insane recently, and well, I wasn't supposed to be in the country. So he talked to my relatives over here, who I had only met once, and they were more than willing to adopt me until my school days were over.
"So I got on a plane and came here to meet my mom's brother and family. Her brother, my Uncle is rude and ruthless, and I'm sure having someone like me living in their house didn't make him anymore chipper. My cousin is arrogant, ignorant, but still very smart nonetheless. My aunt is a sweetheart, not the brightest, but she lives with two men who have taken advantage of her for years, I think she surprised herself while I was there... if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm related to the Malfoy's."
Ron's face contorted in anger and Hermione finally looked up from her book. "Really? She asked, closing her book and scooting closer to her.
"Unfortunately," Lily sighed, causing Ron to smirk and Hermione to giggle. "So I ended up spending the summer with Death eaters and a few vampires...there was a dinner for Voldemort followers," she said to their confused faces, and then gained a flinch from Ron by saying 'Voldemort', "I also had to end up playing the idiot, and pretending I didn't know who they were and what was going on and hiding my powers which got harder as time wore on and I got angrier. And I think thats the end." she finished, leaning back in her seat to let them think on all of it. While Ron and Hermione processed it, Lily joined Harry in staring out of the window, but quickly changed her mind after her stomach started to get queasy.
"Are you feeling alright Emily?" Hermione asked, noticing the girl pale, Lily looked up at the girl and tried to smile.
"I'll be fine, motion sickness, its nothing new. I just need food."
"Well you're out of luck, trolley wont come around for a few more hours," Ron said, scooting away from the girl, just incase she lost her cookies.
"Didn't your mum pack you sandwiches?" Harry asked, not averting his gaze from outside.
"Yes, but those things... sorry, I think they would make you feel even worse," Ron said, looking at Emily apologetically.
"Thats alright," she said smiling, "I'll handle it." Hermione opened her book again and Ron shut his eyes, Lily grinned as a hot cup of soup appeared in her hands. "Yup, just what I needed," she mumbled after taking a few spoonfuls. Ron's head snapped down and he stared at the soup in her hands.
"Where did that come from?" he asked, looking back up at her.
"Why? Do you want some?" she asked with a smile. Ron shook his head and she sighed. "I conjured it, no big."
Ron was about do say something when the compartment door opened with a loud 'bang'.
