As Lilly Got off the train she heard a familiar voice yelling "First Years this way. All first years follow me."
"Hagrid!" Lilly yelled as she ran and hugged her God Father. "Where have you been, I haven't seen you in months, I missed you."
"All little Lilly, you know how it is Official Hogwarts business Headmistress Monagall keeps me busy, But I will always have time for my God daughter."
Hagrid looked around and notice other first years staring.
"Right then. First years this way, be quick about we must get to the sorting ceremony."
As Lilly got into the boat, she shivered from head to toe. It was rather cold night, one of those nights you can see your breath.
Lilly was more then happy when the reach the castle.
There standing at the top of the stair case which Lilly naturally assumed would lead to the Great Hall was a short woman with a kind face. She introduced her self as Professor Sprout; she gave a short speech and led them into the great hall.
Lilly had hear stories of the Great Hall but nothing got her ready for the amazing site that that was in front of her.
As the rest of the first years lined up, Lilly felt a knot in her stomach. She was nervous. She wanted to be a Gryffindor like her mother and father. What is she was place in a house other then Gryffindor, her parents would be so disappointed.
Just then she was shoved from behind. She turned around and she felt hatred.
She was looking at a boy and girl twins obviously with silvery blonde hair and cold dark grey eyes.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Silly Lilly Potter." The boy had said.
"Who are you?" Lilly asked them
"Why don't you know? I guess your daddy was to busy on his high horse to tell you about how many lives he ruined…" the boy started before Lilly cut him off
"My dad ruined no one, he is a hero, and he saved the Magic and Muggle communities from that looser Voldemort." Lilly Screamed
All the other 1st years flinched and the name.
"Keep thinking that Potter, I am sure you will see the truth." The girl said.
Just as Lilly was about to respond Professor Sprout called out the first name. Drucilla Malfoy!
A Malfoy she should have know, she had heard stories from Aunt Hermione about a boy named Draco Malfoy in her years at Hogwarts. He was bad.
Both Drucilla and Draco (Named after his father) Malfoy were put in Slytherin. Lilly definitely didn't want to be in Slytherin with those, those evil people.
iWhy I am letting them get to me. Just play it cool Potter/i Lilly thought to her self.
As her named was called she slowly walked up to the sorting Hat. As she looked around and noticed all the students at their house tables were whispering to them selves and pointing at her. She was so nervous. As professor Sprout put the sorting hat on her head. It started speaking to her.
"Another Potter aye, well I stick with what I told your father; you would do well in Slytherin."
iAnywhere but Slytherin, Anywhere but Slytherin. /i Lilly prayed to her self.
"Any where but Slytherin huh….. Fine as you wish. I will be in…….."

Chapter 4
"Any where but Slytherin huh? ….. Fine as you wish. You will be in……..Gryffindor!
Applauds rang out from the Gryffindor table, while boos and hisses from the Slytherin table.
Lilly joined her new house mates and she got several pats on the back. The rest of the sorting went by quickly and before she knew it, it was bed time. As she followed her prefects Jessica Flanagan and Justin Willis, she was amazed at the site of the moving stairs. She had never seen anything like that before. The stairs actually moved from one landing to another. i This might be interesting /i she though to her self before she was confronted by a picture of a Fat Lady. Jessica quickly explained how the port hole worked. She gave the password, Extendable Ears.
As she quickly observed the common room, it was exactly as her mum and dad and described; big comfy chairs, a couch, a few tables and a fireplace. It had a very homey feeling to it. She then knew she was going to fit in, she will wanted to explore more but she knew she needed sleep so she headed to her room. She wanted to get a good night sleep her classes started tomorrow.
Lilly's first days at Hogwarts went by uneventfully, besides being constantly tormented by Drucilla and Draco Malfoy. Though, she had gotten pretty good at the Batty Bogey Hex her mum had told her about.
She really enjoyed her classes. She needed some help with her study schedule, so her Aunt Hermione sent her a strict study schedule to stick by. It was hard, she didn't follow it exactly, but it helped all the same.
She had potions in the morning, with Professor Browning, A young handsome Professor who was quickly becoming Lilly's favorite Professor
Midmorning she had Herbology with Professor Sprout. It was pretty dull but Alicia Longbottom was already well past anyone in her year. She was starting to like Alicia more and more. After Herbology was lunch.
After lunch she had transfiguration with Professor Botts, she didn't mind it much because he was really nice.
Midafternon she has Defense Against Dark Arts, with Professor Lovegood(Yes Luna). Lilly figured she was a little crazy at times but she was a great teacher. And she had recently learned that she was an old friend of her parents back in their Hogwarts days.
Defense Against the Dark Arts was Lilly's favorite subject. She loved learning all the spells that her father learned. She loved the fact that she was naturally good at something. She could not wait to tell her father she was at the head of the class.
By early December Lilly was really finding her niche. She was decent at all of her classes and far ahead of any other student at Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ant to mention she was she was gaining much more interest in Quidditch, thanks to her friendship with Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, Jessica Flanagan.
She, despite her early assumption she had many friends, mostly Gryffindors; there was Annie Jessup a first year, Christopher Wheeler a second year, and her Cousin Danny Weasley. The four of them were inseparable.
Her friends out side Gryffindor were Angie Gomez(Hufflepuff) and Janie Jenkins(Ravenclaw)
Lilly steered clear any and all Slytherins. They were nothing but trouble. After all that Voldemort did, they still think he was the best wizard ever. The never came to their senses and the never became united like the rest of Hogwarts did.
